MUSIC IN COST OF LIVING

Opening windows on. tue first warm days of the year bring q warning that this will probably be the most musical season New York has ever seen, says the Evening Star of that city. The aEartmcnt-house court has always been cosmopolitan in its musical tastes and prone to prodigality in It's volume of more or less musical sounds in summert and this time 1t appears that not only are all the young men home from the army but that the high cost ofevcrything has aIS0 made the apart! .menrs more dpnseiy inhabited and more continuously SU than ever before.
 The magnets are lacking that once ! drew folk away from home in the eve hing. Beer Is negligible as a corner attraction. The movies are more eX- peusivc and more tiresome. Soda bears a war tax paid by the dispenser and also .chRrred to the consumer. Home has become a rather forced haven fos all aud music is being over worked In an iattenpt- to relieve its tedium. -2'. -s - - |, This season We have with us, appar- eDtIr, not. only the phonOTaph and the player pian6--those- -resOurces of the musical and unmuSlcal alike-but there is also an apparent return of the chI1d who practices on the piano.

to production would be 1t came
in unexpected form and the en-
ployes are now discussing that lat
est idea over their pipes anu their

Their speculation over the next
efficiency plan was answered 10y the
following announcement: 'PrOduC-
ton must be increased. Quality
must be improved. Beginning to-
morrow, operatives will be sus-
pended twice daily to allow opera
tiveS 10 rest"
During these periods, which begin
at 10 in the morning, and In the
afternoon, the power of the plant
is shut off and the wheels are stop
ped while the men smoke and the
women chat or knit. Then the Whirr
Of the machinery begins again and
