can make you drunk without alcohol.
Jazz is a cross between European
dance music and American negro
music.
There is a piano, a violin and per
haps a bass viol. But especially
there are cymbals. triangles, drums
and a variety Of nsmeless. highly
fantastic instruments which, rather
than producing mucic. cause a sort
OF musical din.

or he thinks a triangle. He always
knows exactly what is necessary and
supplies the music with anything 1t
lacks, whether a boom, a shrill cry
or a deep-toned mysterious gong.
And If he hasn't anything else TO do
he sits down beside the pianist, who

into his head-perhaps a cromatic
scale. And at the same time he
sings a negro melody.

Suddenly the shrill tone Of the flute

knees bend and they make several
steps with swaying bodies until the
bass drum steadies them. Then

RIGA, July 3O-(By Associated
Press. The offer of Herbert Hoov-
er to aid Russia in relieving suffer-
ing due to famine, on condition that
all Americans now held prisoners in
Russia be released, has been accept
ed by the Russian authorities, who
suggest immediate negotiations in
order to receive speedy assistance, ac-
cording to a dispatch from the Rosta
News agency, of Moscow, received
here today.
The reply was made in name of
Leo Kameneff, head of the non-par-
tisan and non-political famine relief
committee.
The American government rep
resentatives here consider the note
of Kameneff announcing acceptance
of the American conditions for fans

ATLANTA, July 30.-A move to
save the Smith-Lever federal fund
for the state was. launched his af-
ternoon, and when important commit
tee meetings of bottle house and sem
ate are held neSt week, efforts will
be made not only to make approx Eia-
tions to qualify for this aid, but a
fight will be waged to give the state
institutions the same appropriations
as last ye0r.
In line with this prograZe, Repre-
sentative McMichael, of Marion, will
seek to amend the gasoline tax meas
ure so as to levy tax of one cent
on each cigar seellE for aboxe ten
cents. Through passage of such an
amendment, it is estimated, approx
mately 100000 will be added to the
revenue, and ample funds will be
provided for the institutions.
Charges are being made that poll
tics played too important Ssssst in
the refusal of the house appropria-
tions committee to renew the fund
to match the SITS, 900 Smith-Lever
fund, In support of these allegations
members are pointing to the action
of the committee in renewing the ap-
preparation for the state bureau of

day while committees were making

CARRIERS

Senator King wants work stopped
on six bat5ieships and two cruisers

carriers. He bases his Senate rcso-
luton on he rec 9nt ai.p!an e-0a. tie
shin tests off the Atlaltic east
According . the Senator 4tEese
tests provoi hat battiesai2s are on-
solete
Undoubtedly the tests proved that
the air service is becoming an in
creasingly important factor in naval
strength.
Both Great Britain and Japan rec
ognized this long ago by incorporat-
ing airplane carriers in their build
ing programs.
These carriers are ships of great
speed, and the largest of them, 3
japanese carrier, has capacity of
50 airplanes. In fleet action, all
other factors being equal, the advan-
tage to a fleet with one or two such
units is obvious.
Senator King Ss right in demand
