Sweet Bells Jangling Out Of Tune.

Nh USIC hath many charms of many kinds with
1N1- the supposed potency of near-magc. Its
soothing influences calm not alone the savage, but
make ferocious beasts gentle helpless lambs.
On the other hand, it inspires men to battle, it
imbues them with the fighting quality; it gives the
urge to slaughter and to strife.
Judging by the present troubles in some of
this countrys most famous orchestras their conduc-
tors have been thoughtless in making up their pro-
grams They must have chosen the wrong selections.
They must have erred in their judgment of COM
posers. They must have included preponderant
note of strife, to have to cacophony and
jazz Their orchestras, as a consequence, have
changed from symphony to discord
Anyway that apple prolific OF discord-unionism
has entered this Eden of harmonious art: The
Philadelphia and the Minneapolis Symphony orches-
tras are said to be the verge of the choice be-
tween open-shop and dissolution. They are having
plenty of the sort of trouble which is rend-
ing the vitals of the commonplace, of such sordid
things as merchant marine and trolley cars
Either the unions must change their rules
the conductors must change their tunes. AS it is,
the trombones clashing with the violins or the
French horns out Of gear with the pccolos. The
public ear has been trained the best, real art
in music. By striving to excel, the individual mu-
sicans who make up these orchestras, have made
their own artistic beds. If they refuse to lie in
them, the public will refuse to pay.
The public does not much care whether "the
man in the little tin kitchen" or the who draws
the bow the obesity of the bass violin, has,
or has not paid time and half for overtime
while practicing. They pay their money for what
these people have trained them to appreciate and
expect, there you have 1t, and the irony of the
thing is that all such orchestras are largely sup
ported, not by gate receipts, but by those who
love music we'll enough give generously that all
the rest may have it.

that would do. Further south in Pennsylvania,

But in all the changes none is more significant
than that ammonia has ousted Jack Frost from his
job of providing the ice supply 1t is the irony OF
things that it is cheaper to build huge plant with
quite intricate equipment and manufacture ice from
day to day than to cut and store natures product.
The change has thrown thousands of men out OF

Washington's Forest Problem.

WyASHINGTON has passed through forest pro-
NJ lection week without batting an eye Il
has been to il just another week dedicated to some
thing considered wholly inpersonal to this city 1t
has not been regarded as concerning Washington.
Washington has trees. but no forests. ahdjit pro-
teets its trees.
Yet Washington has been no better than the
most Of the forest vandals II protects its trees in
the parks and along its Streets but not its splendidy
wooded areas. OF course large amount Of slashng
has 10 be done to make place for tenement rows,
as well as for detached dwellings, But it would
be wen if Washington changed its policy of per-
hitting whole blocks OF fine and beautiful trees
as ever grew. to be cleared to the last tree and
the land leveled as fat billiard table for home
sites,
Instead of this we believe every tree possible
should be kept standing and that the property would
then be much more valuable Certainly Washing
ton would be much more beautiful as it is where
the native trees have been preserved and only the
actual building spots have been cleared As fact
comparatively few prefer live billiard table.
Most people prefer nature without such exact
grooming.
There is something the matter with those who
do not love trees and who would not rather have
home site where there was group of them with
their grateful shade and beauty. ... a.
So after all forest preservation week may not
have been wholly impersonal to Washington. The
city may have something of forest problem of its
own. Certainly it is hcongruous that city which
exceis all others as artificial arborstum should
allow such sweeping destruction of its native
as marks many wide areas.

LIKE CHILDREN OF ISRAEL
Turkish Tribe Wandered Far Through
the Wilderness to Reach the
"Promtsed Land"

The Kansu abOrigines are a peculiar
race, not native to the province Of
Kansu, in the northwest of China, but
resident there for some hundreds of
years, locked in small area by stu
pendous mountains.
Hundreds of years ago, Turkish
tribe Of Samarkand-men, women and
children, with their flocks and camels
decided to migrate. and traversed the
entire weary way to Kansu, covering
a distance of $50 days travel-12
times as far as from Egypt to Canaan
in the days Of Moses. As they started
they were told to travel on until they
came to a place where the soil and
the water was of the same color as
some which was put in their hands.
A camel carried their Scriptures,
and they were told that AT whatever
place the camel knelt and would not
rise again, there was to be their future
home. Their journey began until, af-
ter many months of travel, they found
themselves on the banks of the Yellow
river near Hsuinhau, in the last open
part of the rivers course, before it
finally bursts through the Tibetan hills
and reaches purely Chinese territory
near Hochow. There the camel lay
down as usual but in the morning 1t
would not rise. Tradition mas it that
when 1t died it turned to stone. and
that it lies to this day at Gaidy Gong

Mr. Fox had borrowed a ladder
from Mr.. Man and when Mr.. Rabbit
and Mr.. Badger said they could not

So he decided that Mr.. Man woul,

to come, and one night when the

all to go to Mr.. Fox's house to dinner.
Mr.. Fox thought 1t would be the

had collected and put them In a pot
on the stove to boil
Up curled the smoke from his
chimney and out through the win
dows went the nice-smelling odor of
soup, and Mr.. Dog who happened to
be running through the woods saw
and smelled as WELL
He wagged his tail and looked up
at the house in the tree; then he
whined and scratched the tree, and as
he danced about it, with his eyes fixed
upon the house all the time, he bumped
into the ladder.
"Ah, how fortunate" he said, and
| up he went and into Mr.. Fox's house
he went, too. and took the cover OF
the pot.
| 1t did not take him a second to re-
move the pot from the stove and pour
out the soup In the sink and cool
those bones, and then such a feast he
had.
He ate until he became sleepy !:
then he lay down on the floor and went

ELEVEN KILLED
IN NEW JERSEY FIRE
ANOTHER VICTIM DIES AFTER
BEING TAKEN TO THE
HOSPITAL.
HoBOkEN HOTEL DESTROYED
Relatives Crowd Morgue in Attempts
to Identify Bodies.-Fire Chief
Says Whiskey Bottles in Rooms
Explain Failures to Escape.

HOBOKEN, N. ELEVEN persons
were burned to death Sunday in a
fire which destroyed the Hotel Col
onial here Four others were badly
burned and taken to hospital.
A stream of persons visited the
morgues trying to identify the bodies
of the victims. They met with only
partial success, however, although
police said jewelry and other articles
on the charred bodies would probably
lead to discovery OF relatives Of all
those burned.
The register was burned to crisp
and there was no means OF learning
the names of the victims until they
are identified by friends.
Bernard M. Merely, director of
public safety in Hoboken, has ordered
two Investigations, one by the police
into the manner in which the hotel
was being conducted, and the other
by the fire department to determine
how the fire started.
According to statement by George
Groll, New York clerk, the fire start
ed In q guests room but the man was
out at the time. 1t is believed the
man had left a lighted cigar or cigar
cite stub where 1t later set fire to the
drapery.
Fire Chief Gilday Monday declared
that he believed the failure Of Groll
to turn in an alarm promptly as well
as the physical condition of the VIC
Tins at the time was largely respon-
sible for the loss of life.
He declared whisky bottles were
found in some OF the rooms and said
that had the occupants been able to
comprehend the warnings that were
sent he believed there would have
been little If any loss of life.
The chief declared the building was
provided with ample fire escapes to
which open corridors afforded easy
access.

FOX'S HOUSEWARMING

where besides on the ground floor Of

One night he took a look around ih
the moonlight and to his delight he
discovered the very place for him to
live.
1t was house built in the branches
of big tree that some boys very
likely had made the year before. Nov,
with very little repairing this
will be the finest house In the woods, |"

So over the hill he ran to Mr.. Man .
and brought away all that was need

than q year, It has been demonstrated
that II is possible to determine from
appearances the males which are most
likely to produce the best-paying
hens.
The difference In the appearance of
males Is comparable to the difference
in the rate Of growth and the intensity
with which hens lay, according to the
college. Some hens can lay an egg
once in every "a hours; others are not
able to produce an egg oftener than
once IN 46 hours, although both have
the same care and feed. II one hen
can lay faster than another, 1t indi-
Gates that she can digest large amounts
Of feed quickly. The experiments at
this point determine also the value Of
males as foundations of high produc-
Ing flocks.
The Cornell workers measured
several lots Of males a year ago. and
by observing the records Of the of
spring, they say that they can tell
from the appearance of the rooster
whether his daughters will be good
layers. Members of the college stan
think the results OF these experiments
will have as much value In developing
efficient poultry fiocks as the original
discovery that 1t was possible to de-
termine by appearance which hens
were laying.
A rooster to father egg-laylng off
spring should grow rapidly and ma
ture quickly. He should appear deep
bodied and short legged. full in breast
and abdomen with fiat. wide back.
His head should be moderately short.

Colony houses on free range give
