"The jazz went to my head-I didn't know
what / was doing" sobbed fashionable So
cety debutante in explanation of the wild
midnight party which had finally landed her
in Chinatown opium den. And many scien-
lists who have studied the subject are in
cined to think there may be sound scientific
basis for the excuse she gave for her aston
ishing escapade.
"The syncopating ragtime music of the
modern jazz" says DR.. B. S. Talmey, dis
tnguished physician and psychologist, in a
recent issue of American Medicine, sis remi-
niscent of savage music. It's curious caco-
phonies and changing discords express the in
tense explosive feeling of the soul It's exotic
tunes are especially selected to overwork the
nervous system"
According to DIR. Talmey, the extraordinary
muscular contortions to which the weird Ori-
entail rhythms of Jazz incite dancers destroy
aH'the value Of the. dance as healthful, nor
mai preliminary to courtship and are doing
our young men and women serious harm, phys
ically, mentally and morally.
Where did jazz come from? What was the
origin of this strange musical madness which
setting the pace for, if not actually melting,
SO much of our modern wckedness?
Until recently it was supposed that jazz
was something exclusively African in origin
that up to few years ago, when it spread
like a pestilence through the civilized world,
1t was mode of entertainment peculiar to
the wild jungles of the Dark Continent. 1t
was thought to have been one of Africa's gifts
to civilization along with the tsetse fly, the
race problem and other things equally unwel-
come.
There are number of good reasons why
this theory seemed to fit the case In the
nrst place, our earliest jazz bands and or
chestras came from New Orleans, where white
musicians might we'll have absorbed a good
deal Of inspiration from the negro race Then,

GETTING BY
THE GATE

TT Is rot necessary to belong to a country
l. club, even an exclusive one, in order to
gain admittanee to it's grounds. One need
not have guests ticket, either. All country
CUBS which hold games or Journeys of various
Sorts provide accommodations on such days
lor large throngs of members and friends.
IN order that the attendance may be limited
70 members and invited guests, a strict watch
Kept at all points Of entrance and members
ahd guests must show their credentials before
'ney will be allowed to pass.
NOW, If you are neither a member of the
cup nor guest, but still wish TO get within
sne grounds the thing may be readily ar
1Anged' In reality, it is absurdly simple. The
one point to remember is, Don't dress up. If.
you approach the country club clad in good,
"eh pressed suit of clothes and new and
glossy hat, if you swing yellow cane jauntily
aS you walk, you will surely be stopped by the
gatekeeper, asked if you are a member and
De required to show proof.
put If you wear an old pair Of trousers
ana no coat; If you have had the forethought
" remove your collar and tie and to have
substituted a colored handkerchief, loosely
.,as'ened; If your hair be trife mussed and
ens sleeves of your shirt rolled up to your
siooWs, then the gatekeeper will mistake you

certing ways!
"a whole hour! It took the diver q whole
hour to get to the top The attack was re-
newed several times. The Jap. in spite Of his
sang-froid, began to shake inside his armor.
The shark became more and more enraged.
Now he changed; his tactics, He tried to stun
the man by striking him with his tail But
the armor resisted. Finally they reached the
surface
''The ladder wasn't there. The ship had
turned with the wind. The men on board
began to pull the diver around toward the
ladder. But since his headpiece was out of
the water he could no longer see what was
happening beneath. He asked: Where's the
shark? What's he doing?'
The shark wasn't far away. The Jap felt
the grating OF pot-hook teeth along his leg.
With the other leg he gave kick. The teeth
glided along and fastened in the foot, some
penetrating the leather, others bent back by
.he leaden sole. The pullers felt the weight
they were dragging increase enormously. They
saw the shark clinging to the diver
Some one got rifle and fired. The beast,
probably hit, dived These men are insup-
portable! Something incomprehensible always
happens where they are concerned The Jap
reached the ladder and climbed up. They
took off his helmet. His face and lips were
ashy white and his teeth chattered
g L was attacked by a shark he said.
That isn't natural. No, that isn't natural.
What could have been the matter with him?'
'eThe older brother shrugged his shoulders.
He pointed to the fish in the bucket and said !:
You didn't wash your hands
Perhaps you don't altogether understand"
Samuel explained. "The little Jap hadn't
washed his hands before putting on the divers
suit. He carried with him the odor of blood
and fish. = That is what attracted the beast. ,
We had reached the cigars. Samuel Bozs
paid the check and returned to the washroom.
New-York tribune., 1921-05-08

"a TY FRIEND Samuel B6ze was wash
NM ing his hands--for the tenth time, at
H. N least that afternoon. 1t is mania
with him. You might believe that
he was not Jew, but Mussulman, and con-
strained by his religion to ritual of frequent
ablutions. I said that to him laughingly in the
restaurant lavatory, when he rolled up his
sleeves once more, took off the many jeweled
rings which he wears on his fingers and piously
soaped himself half way up his hairy forearms.
He shrugged his shoulders, went out and
selected table and said to me, after ordering
oyster cocktails:
"You can't ever be clean enough! You can't
ever do enough to avoid carrying some sort of
odor about with you. All the things you
touch-the leather of the seats in cabs, the
cedar wood of pencils, even this secured spoon
have an odor. That is bad. 1t is very bad,

Samuel knocks around the world, from the
Persian Gulf to the islands of Oceanca and to
Venezuela, buying pearls from the pearl fish
ers. Then he comes back to Europe to sell
them. It is good business, in which there is
much adventure.
"r learned this" he resumed, ION the reefs
of the Great Barrier, near the Frankland
Islands, in Australia. You know that there
are banks of pearl oysters there, thirty to
forty meters below the surface, all along the
coral chain. 1t is too deep for ordinary divers
such as are used in the Persian Gulf. You
have to anchor sailing vessel near the reefs
and send men down in diving suits. 1t is the
roughest sort of work. They have to spend
four or five hours on the sea bottom, almost
crushed by the pressure of the water and
poisoned by the carbonic acid gas caused by
their own breathing.
"Onsa ship took to the reefs there were
two Jap divers, who relieved each other, one
working in the morning, the other in the after
noon. The first, an old man, dry, courteeus

is desire for some sound to clearly indicate
the rhythm, terpsichoreans everywhere have
found assistance in the swapping of fingers,
clapping of hands, beating of hips and stamp
ing of feet. Then, probably, the drum was de-
vised-the first musical instrument
The allied instruments of percussion-cym-
balls, rattles and bells-soon followed. Later
came the wind instruments, such as musical
shells and varieties of pipes and horns, and,
finally, the more complex stringed instrument

There must be some easier live victim or some
carrion in the neighborhood, he thought. He
looked about carefully, but saw nothing. And
the shark, halting over him, began to turn on
his belly, bringing his three rows of teeth
level with the mans head. The Jap stirred
the bottom with his knife so as to muddy the
water and also gesticulated The beast rose
several yards and waited.

He is obstinate. He has chosen me for his

decomposition mustn't occur zoo rapidly. With
out these precautions they would pull up

"The ferocious fish seemed to understand
His prey was afraid and wanted to flee. That
encouraged him. With single stroke of his
tail he approached, plunging little too deep,
and then coming up with his stomach against
the divers stomach and his head level with
the divers head. The Jap kicked with his
mails face. But the rounded knife edge
glanced off the wrinkled skin. Nevertheless,
the shark drew away. 1t was always the same
