Mailer cult among conductors. 1t Is
impossible for laymen TO understand the
enthusiasm of these knights of the baton.
Take the case of the critic. He makes
far greater effort to discover the grounds
OF the conductors admiration than the
ordinary concertgocr will make. The
latter is not concerned about the matter.
But no critic who is worth his salt VIII
abandon the struggle to find out what
is worth While in the music OF a COM
poser whom musicians admire.
The present writer has never lost an
opportunity to hear a performance of
Mahlcr symphony and TO his dismay he
finds no more in them now than he did
years ago. IL is Ear easier for him now
TO sit through a performance OF a Bruck-
ner symphony than through one Of Nah
ler's, for at times Bruckner reaches the
heights toward which most of his time
he is laboriously struggling. And any
candid music lover. perhaps, will con-
fess that 1t requires a certain amount
of devotion to endure the cloudy prolixi-
ties OF Bruckner symphony for the
sake OF the occasional moment OF light
The Mah;er symphonies sometimes
achieve beauty and eloquence, but very
rarely Bruckner Us ponderous, intro
spective, discursive, but he is always
serious. Mailer, to be frank. is often
merely childish--to the dull mind Of the
layman. These conductors who continue
to play him at us to make us like him
must see great things which are hidden
from us. We are entirely willing to
confess that.
But what is the ultimate aim OF any
art? To create things which only its
own professors can appreciate? 1t must
be confessed that this seems to be the
belief of many artists. But if all the
creative artists in the world devoted
themselves to making things for one
another, art would miss what seems to
the lay mind to be its true purpose,
namely, to embody universal conceptions

SLEEPING SICKNESS
IN new YORK STATE
Fifty Cases Are Reported Outside
of Metropolis Since Beginning
of Present Year.

Albany, N. Y.-Fifty cases Of
lethargies encephalitis, or sleeping
Sickness" have been reported to the
State Health Department from places
outside the city of New York since
January l last, DR.. Harris ii. Biggs,
State Commissioner of Health an
nounced.
According to the commissioner, there
has been q decided increase in recent
months, % cases being reported in
January and % so far this month. I'm
doubtedly," the commissioner says,
"many cases have not been reported,
chiefly for the reason that they were
not recognized"
Six cases have been reported from
chester county. Syracuse and Buffalo
have each had four cases, three have
developed in Binghamtcn and one in
Johnson City, suburb of Binghamton.
Commissioner Biggs said he did not
look for any immediate widespread
prevalence. The disease has been
made reportable and every effort is
being made to find the proper method
Of control. At present patients are ,e-
Quired to be isolated.
DR.. Biggs explained that this disease
is entirely different from the tropical
disease known as sleeping sickness. p"
The latter is prevalent only in certain
parts of Africa and its causes and
mode of transmission are definitely
known. Encephalitis lethargica, on the
other hand, is disease Of the temper
ate zone and of the colder months Of
the year, and both its cause and
method of transmission are unknown.

that one of her sons. Vaughan Harvey,
shot another son, Lawrence Harvey, a
week ago.
Lawrence Harvey died at Union
Hospital, Elkton, of his wound, with
out knowing of his mothers death.
Now Vaughan Harvey, lodged in Elk
ton Jail, faces a charge of murder.
Mrs. Harvey's death had been eX-
pected for some time. She had been
barely living for weeks. The last time

''The actual situation in Maryland
is this:
Under ruling of Attorney General
Armstrong, the State liquor license
laws are still in force, and the police
authorities are charged with the duty
of enforcing them, which I am advised
they are doing as far as possible. AS
a practical matter, this makes the sale
of intoxicating liquor illegal under the
State laws.
"Mr. Armstrong having ruled that
there is no obligation on the police
to enforce the Volstead Act, the police
do not take the initiative in enforcing
the anti-transportation provisions OF
that act, but the Police Department
does hold itself at all times at the
service of the federal authorities for
the purpose Of acting and co-operat-
ing with them in enforcing not only
the anti-transportation provision, but
all other provisions of the Volstead
Act whenever asked by the federal
authorities to do so, which is quite
constantly.
"My advices are that the bootleg
ging, which all good citizens must
deplore, is steadily decreasing, and
this decrease is sure. to continue be-
cause of the recent federal ruling

st. Augustine, Fla. - Charles E..
Hughes. New York. stands as the first
designated appointee of President
elect Harding.
The former New York Governor, Su-
preme Court Justice and 1916 presi-
dental candidate will head the new
Cabinet as Secretary of State, Hard
ing announced.
Practicing at once the policy he
eaid would be maintained in the State
Department, Mr.. Harding left Mr..
Hughes alone to talk independently.
The President-e t-elect made it plain that
Mr.. Hughes will be the actual as well
ment.
81 will let Mr.. Hughes do his own
talking" Mr.. Harding said. "The Sec
retary of State is going to speak for
the State Department under my admin
istration.'
at is call no one could we'll re-.
fuse" Mr.. Hughes said.
The President-elect and Mr.. Hughes
had been in conference for some time
just before the former called in the
newspaper men and made the formal
announcement of his choice of pre-
mier.
Smiling quizzicailly, Mr.. Harding
said: t'Some of you have already sus
pected the reason for my calling Mr..
Hughes down here. Well, III confirm
it now. 1 called Mr. Hughes down
here to ask him if he would accept
an appointment as Secretary of State,
I am happy to say he has agreed to
do So"
Mr.. Harding then showed his snil-
ing appointee forward to speak for
himself
On public affairs Mr.. Hughes de-
clined to go further than to say many
subjects" had been discussed with his
chief about which he did not feel at
liberty to speak at this time. 'Of
course, 1 appraise it very high hon
Or" he added, 'to be invited by Sena-
tor Harding to come into the admin
istration. And 1 have regarded 1t as
an imperative obligation to accept the
offer he has made.
Mr.. Harding's conference with his
chosen Secretary of State occupied
the greater part of the day. But he
also talked over the tariff and taxa
ton question with Representative
Fordney, Of Michigan, chairman of
the House Ways and Means Commit
tee. Mr.. Fordney urged approval Of
emergency tariff legislation at the be-
ginning Of the special session of Con-
gress, and although the President-elect
said a detailed policy must await con.
sultation with congressional leaders,
he indicated that he had received fav-
orably the proposal Of the Ways and
Means Chairman.
"The incoming executive" said Mr..
Harding, sis going to be very anxious
for some early tariff legislation of an
emergency nature think 1t Is I'm
perative for don't believe the coun-
try can industrially survive under the
Underwood law"
Mr.. Harding also continued his con-
ferences with Harry M. Daugherty. OF
Ohio, his intimate adviser on questions
of administration personnel as we'll as
on administration policies. Mr.. Daugh-
erty is understood to be in line for
the attorney generalship and is spend
ing several days here in close touch
with all the problems that now are
moving toward solution.

Cambridge.-A police dog belonging
to Henry Lloyd by calling its master
early the other morning prevented the
destruction of several thousand dol
lars worth of property. About half
past 8 o'clock Mr.. Lloyd was awakened
by the bowling of the dog. When he
looked out the window he discovered
that the wood pile in the rear Of his
house and the division fence between
his home and that of his aunts, Misses
Moliie and Kate Lloyd, was on fire and
burning back toward the large barn
which is located in the rear OF the
property. Mr. Lloyd dressed hurriedly
and went out and, after fighting the
fire for about an hour, succeeded in
getting it under control.
