Community Music
From Recreation
To Art
BY C. s. wenxerd

II is unnecessary to define the
meaning OF community music in q
city that has so much OF II both dur
Ing the war and since; but whether II
Is educational or not is different
matter
The great influence that music had
In helping to win the war IL known
by everybody. Song leaders were In
every camp In this country. and the
war camp community service and Y.
M. G. A. gave decided impetus to
community singing all over the land.
Unquestionabiy there was q great
amount Of froth In the music used
during the war. but with the return
of peace came reaction, in musical
circles especially, against this musical
hysteria, and this reaction resulted in
more serious consideration of how
we could adapt to peace time the
great musical force set in motion By
the war and get down TO sound and
sane basis.
Washington was fortunate to have
men like Peter Dykema Of the Unit
versity of Wisconsin and later Lieut.
Hollis Edison Davenny to foster com
munity music activities under War
Camp Community Service. These men
with their high ideals laid a splendid
foundation and achieved much in this
field. Since then Community Service
Inc. has carried forward the work
along very definite lines and believes
that IL community music Is TO en-
dure permanently IL must be more
than recreational in character.
To bridge the gap from recreationsl
singing TO opratorio and opera, tho
National Community Chorus was
formed, with the definite object OF
teaching the correct form of chorus
singing to adults. being careful not to
use material so difficult as to destroy
the sheer JOY OF singing.
This chorus has been dedicated In
the City Of Washing gton and has given
eight concerts. always free to the pub
lie, during the past year. At least
125.o00 people have heard these con-
certs.

American Chemists Have Accomplished the Wonders
Which Ancient Chemists Strived for by the
Utilization of Coal Tar By-Products
(Told in Eight Sketches)
BY JOHN RAYMOND
No. w
THE DREAM

Through the literature OF the an
clients runs the absorbing story OF the
alchemist's patient search tor the
%touchstone which would transform all
base metals into pure gold, and the
never-ending quest for the elixir which
would restore youth to the aged and
would cure all human ills. The alchc-
mist, driven from cellar to garnet and
often put to death, had an elemental
knowledge of chemistry and vaguely
dreamed that it could be made to per
form wonders.
1t was Ben Jonson's alchemist,
Subtle, back in the early seventeenth
century who planned ito change all
that is in my house to gold, and early
in the morning to send to all the
plumbers and pewterers and buy Their
tin and lead up; and to lothbnry Tor
all the copper And more than that
by means OF this magic elixir, i'll eight
and twenty days he planned to trans
form an old man Of four score into a
prattling child.
Certainly, chemistry has not sue
ceeded in performing these marvels
The philosophers stone still is an ur'
known quantity to science, buried, per
haps, with the pot of gold at the rain
bows end, and the elixir of youth is as
deeply hidden as on that far-of day
when De Soto set forth so bravel,
from Spain to find it in the new world
But chemistry has accomplished won
ders by the utilization of coal tar by
products which contribute to every
phase of our daily life. Take thu
fairy glass of the chemist and look in
to this rather un~interesting substance

LOOK OUT FOR
MORE PROPAGANDA.

No doubt our readers have heard of
a recent hullabaloo in New York
against our modern American histor-
les as written by some very able
American college professors.
Don't worry yer it, folks. It's all
propaganda. The earmarks of propa-
ganda are all over it.
New York is the home Of propa-
ganda; you may be sure that when a
bunch of fellows anywhere in the
United States get ready to spring
some doctrine or scheme on us simple
folk, they start it in New York with
huge clouds of smoke by day and lots
of fireworks in some big hall by night.
People of common sense who think,
know that the farther time moves
away from some historical event, the
more truthful must the histories of
that event become. That is because
prejudices die with the generations
that were intimately concerned with
the event. 1t is now abou 40 years
since the American revolution was
fought and it is pretty safe to say
that histories written by American
scholars in the last quarter of a cen
fury are more truthful than those that
went before and which propagandists
would now like to foist on us again.
It is also enough to say that the
Daughters of the Revolution approve
the histories attacked.

The minority has a perfect right in

ity against prohibition, but let's have
no misunderstanding about the chief

THAT bootleg whiskey is so bad that
it is better for this nation to go back

whiskey made by the ~profiteering "dis-

century of wetness was fully as villain

only difference is that the public does
not know what was happening from
about 1890 to 1919. Just as many men

Of these Intermediates, line OF
treatment will produce drugs, another
high explosives, another poison gases,
still other perfumes, food favors and
Photographic materials. Some have
varying peace and war time uses with
out further treatment. 1t should be
noted that some OF these crudes re-
quire as many as fifteen manipulations
to produce a given compound and in
each manipulation a by-product is
produced which again must be made
into something useful in order to avoid
waste. 2
1t is because Of this treatment and
retreatment of coal, crudes and inter
mediates hat it is Sc easy to convert a
dye plant into a factory for the pro-
duction of high explosives or poison
Gus gases almost over night.
Germany was indeed farsighted,
back in 1859, when she took advantage
of Perkins discovery, and began. the
development of a gigantic dye industry
so that she might never be without the
crudes and intermediates SO essential
to success in war or peace.
Germany developed the synthetic
dye industry, just as she developed
other industries, to create employment
and wealth for her millions. But
through these developments she learn
ed the value of chemistry, of chemicals,
and IF chemists themselves. She real
lied early how dependent her peace
development was on chemistry and
she soon saw the value of chemical in
dustries to war. Germany saw that
the manufacture of dyes required much
chemical research and also that dye
making made use of the waste prod
ucts from the coke ovens, themselves
a necessity to her iron and steel in
dustry. She saw its value in the pro-
duction of explosives, gases and fer.
t~ilizers for her fields. This foresight
gave Germany a forty year start or
the United States, and the rest of the
world.
