Jazz Is Slipping

Jazz has lost it's popularity. This
IS the news that comes from the con.
vention of the Sheet Music Dealers
Association in Chicago. The old mel
odies, stirring military marches and
a few new sentimental lyrics are best
sellers in America today the dealers
report.
1t was foregone conclusion that
jazz would not last 1t lacked the
foundation necessary for stability.
To call it music was a misnomer.
The craze which Americans sud
denly developed for dancing and
singing to the noise Of cowbells,
sandpaper, police whistles, automo-
bile horns and other instruments
which played so prominent part in
the jazz orchestra is one of those
mysteries of modern civilization
which must ever remain inexDlicablc
to the music lover, although psychol-
gists may be able to offer an explana-.
ton. The tenseness of modern life,
one conjectures, got on the nerves of
the people, and they sought relief by
breaking loose from restraint. Some
thing of the same sort has occurred
in the other arts; in painting we find
the nightmares known as neo-impres-
sionism, cubism and futurism; in poe
try the insane rawlings put out as
vers libre. They, too, will pass, as
.a2z is passing.-Pendletcn East Ore

I he Key That Unlocks The Door To
Long Living.

The men of eighty-fve and ninety
years of age are not the rotund, we'll
fed, but thin, spare men, who live on
a slender diet. Be as careful as he
will, however, man past middle
age will occasionally eat too much or
of some article of food not suited to
his constitution, causing indigestion
OF constipation and will need a dose
of Chamberlain Tablets to move his
bowels and invigorate his stomach.
When this is done, there is no reason
why the average man should not live
to a ripe old observation-disclosures.

surface of things. In other words, they
have the stamp of shallowness and
artificiality. But this is not so much
sources whence they spring. For of
all callings in life the calling of an
office drudge is the most artificial. The
four walls in which he tolls shut out
wind and weather, as well as hunger
and thirst He has no contact with
primitive or elemental things.
1t can be argued that the same may
be said of the artist, the statesman,
the man of profession. But these last
have the compensation of escaping
into a creative world. The products of
their hands may not rise up in tan
gible form before them, but the accom-
plishments of their brains are capable
of naturalization. The lowliest fac
tory worker can see the fruits of his
labors grow into something tangible
fabric, or utensil. or gaud, as the case
may be. Even a lawyer can feel the
stimulus of mental battle, involving
petty or portentous changes in human
or national destinies, since he deals
with the passions and conflicts of life
But the office drudge plods on, day in
and day out, piling up dull and dreary
records without color or form or grace
What is the sum total of q
bookkeeper's product? A series OF
neatly kept ledgers, the last of which
is in no wise distinguishable from the
first. For 1t is the mark of the per-
feet clerk that his work remains un-
touched by imagination or fancy. His
training is against emotional or adj
venturesome flights. The remark, He
is a good routine man" is always fla
vored more with contempt than ap-
prevail And the tragedy of most Of
flee inmates is not that they become
in the end, good routine men, but that
they so rarely achieve anything else
And a routine office man, like as not
ends by being routine husband, a
routine father, a routine citizen-"a
field sterile and barren In the glare OF
accepted standards; man with in
herent capacities for heroic gestures
and neither circumstance nor back
ground for their exercise, denied the
poetry Of elemental existence or the
compensating inspiration of mental ad.

But superimposed upon this basic

Cournos does not emphasize II, lies an

The WALL. BY John Cournos. George
H. Doran Company.
TIIS is the second part of what
is obviously to be at least a
trilogy of novels dealing with
the development of a transplanted
Russian Jew boy, from Russia to
Philadelphia and thereafter TO Eng
land. The first part brought him
from the Russian forest to an Amer
lean cutter and took him through the
rough experiences OF youth in poverty
TO the beginnings of Americanization
In THE WALL we meet John Com
barrow as an established neo-American,
a hack writer on the staff of Phila-
delphia paper. but still very far from
having found himself. His American
ization does not sit comfortably upon
him, and the upshot of the book is
that America has no proper field for
him as yet. 1t ends with his depart
ure for England. where, 1t Is implied,
he Is going to execute some real
masterpiece.
He is at bottom an Oriental. all

r n the issue of April IL was nuh-
nshed the news that a popular
woman writer of Western cow
puncher themes had become president
ana general manager of FL Picacho
Mining Company in Nevada. The
prophecy was made that before long
the said b. NJ Bower would forsake her
western cowpunchers for the adven-
lure and romance that comes to the
type of man who works underground
IN the mines" The new story tusti-
flies the prophecy.
casey Ryan has a pure as gold
mining vein running all the way
through it. But don't think for a
moment that it is technical or that
IL is limited to mining-it isn't by any
means. Casey Ryan, its hero, is inter-
ested in all kinds of things from stage
coach horses to automobiles, poker,
pre-prohibition drinks, fights, mining,
and especially widows. Casey
IS introduced to us as the most reck-
ieSS udIeueFH stage driver who ever
carried mail or a passenger.
The passenger who travelled with
casey Ryan was always on time. or.
better yet, ahead of time, for Casey
could not go around certain mountain
trails on four wheels--it had to be two.
1t generally took the passenger a few
years to get over the ride. But horses
were too slow, and that's where the
Fords fit In. Casey quits the stage
line and goes in for prospecting with
a Ford in place of the burro He GER
tainly had his troubles, and after being
Knocked down by the four wheeled
rattler three or four times Casey
finally decided that ''the bite of a Ford.
while it is poisonous, is not necessarily
fatal unless it attacks one in vital
spot"
Casey Ryan is one of the most
likable, human and amusing char
acters that B. NJ. Bower has given u.s.
He is far more amusing than Johnny
was in "Skyrider" and 1.-THE Thunder
Bird" Even Buddie Burnie in Sow
Country" loses out when set up along
side of Casey, for wild Irishman as he
is he cannot be beaten.
