rHIS is emusic Week" through
out the United States. In every

out Cne UnlUeu StdIeS. LII every
city musicians and clergymen
and managers of concerts and news
papermen, whether there be much or
little music in their souls, are doing
their best to arouse interest in music,
which, thus far on earth, is the high
est expression of spiritual feeling.
Every reader will be interested in
the following letter written by Presi-
dent Harding to Mr.. Arthur M.
Abel, of this city:
THE WHITE HOUSE
WASHINGTON
< April 8, 1921.
my Dear Mr.. Abel:
What you have written to me about
the effort to develop interest in and taste
for good music in Washington, and, in
deed, throughout the nation, has very
much appealed to me, perhaps in part
because I have been very little of an
amateur myself. l know it has been
said that arts have not always been so
/ much favored under republican as mon-
archie forms Of government, but / think
fair survey will justify very frank
difference of opinion on that point.
Surely, the encouragement of the arts in
Greece and in France under the institu-
tions of democracy can hardly be cited in
support Of such thesis. Likewise, the
history of our own and the other Ameri-
can republics think justifes the opinion
4 that artistic taste and interest may quite
as well flourish under the popular as under
the monarchistic establishment.
At any rate, / very much sympathize
with the effort, such as you suggest, for
the betterment Of taste and the expansion
of popular interest in good music. You
have my best wishes for the success Of
your efforts in that direction.
- Very truly yours,
4 - WARREN G. HARDING.
Mr.. Arthur NJ Abell,
1928 @ street NV.
: The President of the United States
Is busy man, with the international
stupidities left over by the last Ad-
ministration.
He is busy with the railroads, the
tariff, with our idle men, army, navy,
taxes, foreign debt and thousand
other things.

OUR SCIENTISTS TOO SLOW.

Bill. my dear boy. I'm compelled
TO make complaint about the
slowness of the scientists of II.

or no longer be regarded as
among the topnotchers OF the
country. An important disoos-
cry regarding bedbugs has just
been made by the public health
service. and not one of our gang
realized what was going on. IL
Is that extreme cold or heat, con-
tinued for two or three days, will
utterly eradicate these pests from
happy homes-thst is, cold as low
as II degrees and heat above 100
degrees. II you fail TO have your
home open on the coldest days OF
the winter and there are any
bugs remaining, you do one or
two things-cstch all the bugs
and tenderly lay them between
two blocks OF ice for two days,
or in August close all doors and
windows and start the furnace
for two days. getting the heat
well above 100. DIR. b. BUG.

The Dollar in Foreign Exchange

Widespread uneasiness over the pos
sibilities of further political complica-
tons resulting from the movement of
Allied military forces into Germany
caused heavy liquidation of foreign
exchange holdings and consequently
sharply lower quotations here yester-
day. There was a recovery late in the
day, but net losses were general
throughout the European list.
Lack Of support was the chief factor
in the decline, apd it was not diff cult
to cause recessions on offerings, which
in no way were unusual. A contraction
of tn large long interest was expected,
and dealers were not surprised at
the break. Offerings of commercial
bills were said to be fairly light. and
it was apparent that all who had any
need for foreign exchange and could
wait were in the mood to do so.
The fact that there was no apparent
professional selling. of exchange for
levels was considered a hopeful sign,
but the lack of any news development
to show that settlement of the in
demnity problem was imminent was a
decreasing influence.
Demand sterling held fairly steady
in early trading, easing off gradually
from Yesterdays final figure Of $'.S51a
to 1886. Continental rates followed
the same trend. Early in the afternoon
heavy liquidation carried sterling down
to s3.S5A, off Az cents, and French
francs dropped to 7 cents. off about
Is cent. German marks sold down to
1b2 cents. off 1-10 cent. A partial re-
covery followed. carrying sterling up
q cent, to 1886. and francs up to 703
cents. German marks closed at SO "a

The Break in Foreign Exchange

Heavy liquidation of foreign ex-

ers yesterday. Fluctuations we're fever

fairly quiet trading early and recover
ing somewhat later. but, on the whole,
price movements were not wider than
was generally expected, in view of the
unsettled situation in Europe. Most
interest was attached to possible fu
ture actions Of the market 1t was
agreed that any settlement of the
reparations question involving a with
drawal of military forces from their
invasion of Germany would have a
tendency to promote a recovery. but
many felt that dangers overhaneing
Tn situation had been increased by the
decision to increase the sphere Of oc-

Acquisition of control of the Mid

west. announced last year by the
Standard Oil Company of Indiana, was
4 development virtually forced by an
effort on the part of the Royal Dutch
Shell oil combination to obtain con-
troll. What is said to be the inside
story of the deal is related by The Oil
City Derrick, which says chat the pre-
limlnary terms whereby the holdings
Of one of the men highest in Midwesc
affairs were to be taken over by the
keyal Dutch interests had been practi
c:lly agreed to when the Standard in
terests stepped in and "beat the for
e-gners to it," A few of the great bust
ness heads of the oil industry, The
Derrick says, "foresaw what was com
ing, and it is said that an appeal to
Washington was made to stop the ac
auisition of the Midwest by the Euro
pean interests. The appeal to Wash
rgton lost itself in red tape and de-
bates that merely wasted time, and at
last 1T became imperative that some
immediate action be taken to keep the
Dutch-Shell and English interests out"

garding the size of the decrease place
the total at approximately 100000 tons,
which would bring bookings on March
