SMILE VALUE
BY DR.. I'm. Z. BartOn
JURY in Kansas City award

JURY in Kansas City award
~ a boy 10000 damages for the
L - loss of the ability TO smile.
The boy climbed a tree. and there
he encountered a live wire imper-
fectly insulated. 1t came in con-
tact with his cheek, inflicting a
painful burn which was not healed
for several weeks. 1t left a perma-
nent injury.
The nerves or muscles or both
that governed the power of smiling
were destroyed, so that his attempt
to smile was a tragic caricature.
When the boy was called TO the wit
ness stand and his attorney direct
ed him to face the jury and smile,
the verdict was assured.
Twenty thousand dollars was lit
tie enough to receive as compensa-
ton for the loss OF the power to
smile. Some men have lost that
power through other than electrical
causes. and it has damaged chem
more than that amount.
Even when the cash value is
small, it is real Many a waiter
loses a tip because a up because he
serves the food as if he were at
enmity with all flesh, and many
another one has built up a substan-
tial bank account on the basis of
his ability TO show a pleasant dis
position.
Only last week / went to A res
taurant where the waitress, for no
cause known TO me, acted as if she
hated all humanity That did not
increase her tip; and on the next
day. when I found myself in the
same locality at lunch time. 1 went
to another restaurant.
But il is 20 ones own self that
one renders the greatest damage by
uucivil looks The man or woman
who can no longer smile has killed
joy out OF his own life.
1t is not the giggle nor the sim
FER that IA wanted. nor yet the loud
laugh that bespeaixs the vacant
mind" but the cheerful smile that
grows out OF a sunny disposition.

The piano recital of Mcdowell
Music, to be given by Mrs. Edward
Mcdowell in the Tribune Auditor
ium, on Monday evening. Nov. II,
IS one of the outstanding features of
the present musical season. Mrs.
MacDowell's program is devoted ex-
clusively to the works of her hus-
band. who undoubtedly ranks first
on the list Of American composers.
Most of the works to be offered
by Mis-. Mcdowell at her recital
here are gathered from the New
England Idyls," Sea Pieces.
Woodland Sketches" and 'Fireside
Tales of her husband. These
groups form a collection of short
piano pieces with poetic titles and
superscriptions. so characteristic Of
Mcdowell. His love for the quaint
ness of New England was intense and
it is this feeling that he has so
beautifully expressed in these pieces.
Mcdowell is universally named as
one Of the two pre-eminent Ameri-
can composers. Stephen G. Foster
is recognized as our native repre-
sentative of American art music
while Mcdowell signifies all that is
best in American art music. His tru
~ American gift Of humor lives in
his compositions. especially those de
scriptive Of the life in New England
that he loved so well.
Although Mcdowell died before
ne reached his forty-fourth year.
and when he was at the height of
his career, he has written enough TO
place him at the head OF American
composers. No other native creator
CT music has ever had such a uni
versal appeal His Indian Suite" i
one Of the most charming compost
tons OF modern times and the ex-
quisite orchestral colorings and in
teresting harmonies are among the
most attractive found in the works
os any composer. either classic or
modern.
Unlike most great composers, Mac
Dowell always put the melody in
first place and 70 him effects and
arrangements were secondary mat
tiers. All his pieces are distinguished
for the haunting strain OF melody he
weaves through an exquisite melange
OF colorings and harmony. His
works are also noted for his fire.
