TWENTY YEARS AGO TO-DAY.

From The Times-Recorder Sept.
1919, 1907
The terrible rainstorm last night,
the worst experienced in Ameri-
Gus in several years, resulted in
= vast deal of damage in and about
the city. All of Magnolia Dell was
under water. The ahuttments on the
west side of the long bridge below the
city washed out yesterday afternoon
and the damage will cost the city a
large sum. The bridge was still
standing last night.
People who resided in Americas ten
years ago were reminded yesterday
of that era of unexampled posterity
by the washing up of lot of de-
cayed crossties on Jackson street,
near Forsyth. In those good old days
Americas had electric cars.

On Boston Common 20, 900 people,
most of them jobless, hold the
biggest singing-bee in the towns his
tory. Boston newspapers say that the
"sing" was municipal tonic, that
even those in the hardest luck were
cheered up. Hungry men took an
other hitch in their belts and went
away whistling, encouragement gone.
Boston points the way.
What America needs now is an
epidemic of singing. The worst of
the business depression is over.
Nothing would stimulate the nations
morale, and give us national pep, like
a return to old-fashioned community
singing.

a MERlCA IS bursting INTO song
according to Mrs. Helen Harri
son Mills of the National Federation
of Music Clubs
This is the organization that is
working to make the nation musical.
Its activities range from outdoor con-
certs to community sings" 1t is or
ganizing community singing clubs at
the rate of 500 a year. They're go
ing like wild-fre.
Americans are spending $600,000,-
600 a year for musical instruments
and musical entertainment.
But the music that counts most
doesn't cost a cent. It's song. Grand
opera isn't in it, for real music, with
a housewife singing as she bakes a
pie.
THAT we are settling down to old
fashioned Americanism is Shown
by the passing of jazz music and the
return to old-time melodies, especially
IN community songs.
The best way to size up a nation s;

LEAGUE ASSEMBLY
MAKES IT EASIER TO
CHANGE COVENANT

Geneva, Oct 3-(By the Associated
Of Nations made amendment of the
covenant easier by adopting today
under the old unanimity rule change
in Article 26, requiring unanimity for
amendments and Immediately began
consideration of the proposed altera-
tons in the covenant under the new
rule. Article 26 now reads:
Amendments to the present cove
nant, the text of which shall have
been voted by the assembly on a
three -fourths majority in which there
shall be included the votes of all the
members of the council represented at
the meeting, will take effect when
ratified by the members of the
League whose representatives COM
posed the council when the vote was
taken and by a majority of those
whose representatives formed the
assembly"
The first amendment debated under
the new rule was modification of Ar
ticle 16, proposed by the Greek dele
cation, providing that no state shall
procede to blockade a country break
ing the covenant before the date fixed
by the council. The smaller states,
including Holland and Poland oppos-
ed any action in fixing the blockade
regulations. They pointed out that
countries moved either by interest or
animosity might anticipate the action
of the council and blockade on their
own account before the question had
been insufIiciently studied.
M. IT. De Marees van Swinderen OF
the Netherlands. raised a parliament
tary question entirely new to the as
sembly by moving suspension of all
action on Article 16 until the next
assembly. Lord Robert Cecil said
that something must remain in full
vigor and that the effect of the mo-
ton would be to tear up Article 16,
leaving the league without any econ
