London. April THE attempted
negotiations for the settlement oI

completely today and the situation
again took on grave appearance.

were In conference with Premier
Lloyd George. refused to the prl
mary demand OF the coliery owners
that steps be taken Immediately Ia
prevent the flooding of uo .ssJ
The proposed meeting between rep.
resentativos OF the miners and own.

As result Of the breakdown, the
preparations Of The British govern.
ment for Industrial warfare were
speeded mp. Thousands OF soldiers
were Immediately rushed TO stragctic
points. Great food stores are being
collected and lightless nights are
now proposed.
The railway workers have been
called for a conference with the
transport workers today. It was
stated by officials that the purpose
of the meeting was 10 determine on
the most effective methods OF aiding
the miners in the prosecution OF
their strike.
II is pointed out that in the event
the joint meeting between the rail.
road men and transport workers de
cides to take positive action in favor
of the miners fight, it will mean
that the three strongest unions in
Great Britain will be lined up
against the owners and government
What action will be taken by the
government to successfully meet the
situations arising from the general
strike, should the other two unions
decide to join in the walkout, is not
known.
That steps are under way to meet
conditions as they arise and to guard
against all violence and tieups OF
commerce possible are being taken,
was indicated by the feversh haste
the government officials were taking
in handling details. Movements
among the army camps indicated
that soldiers will be used if neces-
sary to meet the crisis.

Castings in Road
Lure of Bandits
This Man States

When you are driving at night and
see an automobile casing lying in the
road, don't stop to pick 1t up, but
step on the gas and get away from
there as fast as the old bus will take
you.
That's the advice of A. G.. Baker,
drfller on the test being drilled by
Vance Brothers, nine miles west of
Chickasha. According to the story
told by Mr.. Baker today, he was re-
turning to the rig Saturday night.
1t was payday for Mr.. Baker and he
had received a sizeable check from
his company. AS he was about to
cross a culvert mile east of the
well, he spied an automobile casing
in the road. He stopped his car
and advanced to the casing to appro-
pirate it, when two men appeared
and with automatics leveled, ordered
him to "stick 'em up"
He complied with the request and
while one held gun on him, the
other went through his pocket
Luckily he had paid bills with most
of his money and had deposited the
rest. The efforts of the highwaymen
yielded not thin dime. Having sat
isfied themselves that he was pro
ductive of absolutely nothing in the
way OF valuables, the bandits ordered
Ihim back in the car and instructed
him to beat it, which he did

MUSIC NOTES

lt seems that there is a bin pending Nm congrcss at this time purporting zN impose a discriminatory tax on all musical instruments. At once the tNcssands of women belonging to the organizations affiliated with the Ma rscsa0i Federation of Music Clubs are aroused to effort against such r1sVN~crc. realizing fully what a handicap its passage would be to the music activities of our nation.
 Once before. it will be remembered, during the war. congress made a half-hezrted attempt to place music tn sl1c class of luxuries. which meant taxation and a consequent curtaiI- r-sesst or music dissemination. The effort failed The importance and necessity of music at that time was being too newly demonstrated both n t,ic army and at home Since then music in America has forged steadily to thc fore. making place for itself in civic as well as cultural life. in the factories as in the studios, in the church. the club. the school and the hclle- Its value ss a stimulating in il1es,ce in all walks of life cannot be K1inSaid.

When Mile. Pavlowa and her com pany were sojourning in Mexico a suggestion came to her that she in clude a suite of real Mexican folk dances in her repertore. With the suggestion came the offer of the three noted young Mexicans to collamorate on this production, Adolf Best Man gard, painter, who designed the cos tunes and scenery; Manuel Castro Podilla( who composed the music, and Jaime Martino del Rio, who wrote the libretto.
 Their interest was deeper than a mere desire to create a new stage offering. It was to send an artistic message from Mexico out to the world ito show that their country pos sessed real indigenous art forms and others things more worthy than tan goes and revelations. The group of three dances, China Poblana." Jarabe Topatio'' and Diana Mexicana," made a tremendous hit in Mexico City where. after the Pavlowa season tes- ted the capacity of the theater at all per formances, these dances were performed in the bull ring before 25, ,000 people as climax to the series.
 The success of this suite of dances in Mexico might be expected, but it's receptions in other countries have been truly surprising, particularly in Paris and London where they
Arizona republican., 1921-10-30

achieved great vogue and started growing interest in Mexican arts and fabrics. The first number, China Ioblana' is named after "the Chinese girl of Pueblo" a character of ancient
 Mexican history who has become almost a saint in the legends which carry her name from generation to generation. A strong Chinese influ- ence is noted in Mexican textile are works, embroideries, laces. pottery and metal work. Such Oriental feel ing is apparent in the quaintly beau tiful costumes worn in this number.
 'Jarabe Tapatio" is a characteristic dance peculiar to the natives of certain region in the state of Jalisco
 and environs of the city of Gaude-
 lajara. The third and last number, Diana Mexicana" is named for a fla
 miliar Mexican folk melody of rapid. fortissimo movement and bouyant rythm employed by the composer in this typicallly Mexican dance.
 During the three years since Paw l Iowa last visited American she has toured through South America, Mex ico, the West Indies, Portugal, Spain,
 France, Belgium and England and has perfected many new chorographie idlys and has now returned to us, laden with the gifts of many lands. 1 Pavlowa will appear at the Shrine
 Auditorium on February 8, 1922, on
 the Musical Events course.

Glue Prize For Best
 Monograph Program

Last June, Along Broadway, the Edison musical magazine, offered it's readers autographed photographs of their favorite artists for ten prog rams of re-created music, which, in the opinion of an appointed commit tee, would come closest to the ideal of a concert for a mixed company. Several hundred candidates entered the contest. Every state in the union was represented. People of all clas- ses and tastes evidently were inter ested in the event.
 It was difficult to choose the prize programs, for the greater number of those submitted were remarkable for the discrimination and balance shown by the contestants. However, the committee of judges finally made their choice of the lucky ten. One of the programs follows:
 National Airs of the Allies
 New York MiNary Band Ave Maria. Bach-Gounod Soprano, in Latin, with Violin
 ObHgato, Marie Rappold and

 In Phoenix. Miss Edith Southerland supervises the music for the grades, and is working for a closer correlation between the public school and instru- mental music. If her grade teachers had been required to learn music from pedagogical standpoint in some normal, what a work she could do. As it is, it is a pleasure to go through her various schools and see these teachers giving the music lesson un- der her direction. They do splendid ly.
 In the high school: MT. Venne has an orchestra, MT. LeHigh, achorale. At Osorne school, Mrs. w. Jack sup ervises with excellent results, and has an interesting Glee club. At the Indian school is a good band under the direction of Mir. Green and other i phases of music are not neglected. l The foundation is being laid, but vocal teachers and instrumental | teachers are crying for more care, more interest, lest the little voices and ears be ruined and the technique l for instruments be misgiven to the detriment of the would-be musician, and the taste for music be not prop i erlY guided.
 1 Some states have recognized and en- l forced the fact that no music teach l CT, instrumental. vocal or public
 school should be allowed to teach
 without pedagogical and psychologi-
 cal training. For the protection of musical Arizona we would like to see her follow in the lead of the states 1 who require examination or diploma for music teacher of all kinds, if they
 are to be recognized by the public | school system so that music work
 done by outside teachers could be given the credit due it, as are other
 subjects taught in the public schools
