LISTEN, WORLD!
BY ELSIE ROBINSON.

We were all in the waiting room.
Some one dsopped a nickel in the
music box and out came one Of those
jazz tunes that vaults right into the
air with its toes spread. Most Of the
crowd registered an extra blood count
from joy. but not so the lady in the
horn specs.
How disgusting" she shipped.
Just listen to that hideous jangle!

and easy. It's bad for our diges-
tions. There isn't enough roughage
In 1t. We need the business Of living
handed to us with the husks on, as
the wild animals get it. We need to
fight as they do for the things we
need and love.
To love as they do, with an eye
to race needs and not for selfishness
alone! It may not be much of an
honor to produce a yearly crop Of
squirrels, but some gangs I wot OF
aren't even producing squirrels. To
work for our daily acorn without
lot of self pity and envy: to put the

in love or battle. That's the savage
way. And that's the kind of feeling
jazz sends shooting along most Of our
backbones. There isn't much music
in it, but there's a powerful amount
of voltage. It's hardly a parlor feel
ing. but it makes US feel for a while
that we could sink our teeth into any,
thing that came our way.
And so I say. II a bunch Of egg
beaters. tin cans, gas pipes and cow
bells can produce that feeling in my
