The Ear for Music

The Ear for Music
 The story is told Of an old English Jesuit, famous as a composer of church music, that he could hardly tell the diff ference between God Save the King and Killarney" when he 1seard them.
 That is quite possible. yn fact, it is by no means a rare phenomenon Some people have what might be called mathematical" sense of music. They are often pianists of no mean skill, but they can't play without theil notes" You've met lots of them. Your wouldn't say that they had no ear for music. yet it is a fact that some others do of com ing home from show and humming or tinl0iing off on the piano most of the mel odes they have heard.
 You don't say that they haven't a musical ear, because it does not oc- cur to you that a musical ear is quite distinct from the ability to enjoy, and ac- tually to revel in music But it is, though us have a little bit of both faculties.
 But the sign of the musical ear'' is not in the ear at all. It's not really g. question of the ear, but of the develop ment of a certain brain center about half way up the forehead over the ex- ternal angle of the eye. Whenevr you find this spot well developed you find a person who has that ability to renenn- Der tunes easily and to play by ear. And notwith standing the case of the Eng fish Jesuit the overwhelming majority

a monition from the bishop of the dio- cese for neglecting his duties. He show ed that the hours of the plaintiffs at- tending church were so uncertain that the parishioners never knew themselves at what time service would be held Three more fatal blows he @sealt at the prose- cution in that the laws of Elizabeth in question added that one need not attend church if service was read privately at the home second, that the same law said that if the defendant could assign a req son for not attending church he could not be held, and. last, that if the person charged confessed himself a faithful son of the Church of England he became ex- onerated.
 For the first it was proved that Dr. Hughes had read service in the house of Burgoyne. The second was that he was a general in the British service and had previously been stationed at Gibraltar, after which his health was failing, and the third, he had done before the bishop
 of the diocese. Two witnesses proved part the church had been closed during
 the time charged. A doctor and a nurse
 corroborated the evidence as to the fail ing health, and there could be no ques- tfon as to the word of the bishop him. self. Baron Graham then summed UT 1 the defense and remarked to the jury that no even and liberal mind could have construed practically dead law in the manner in which the plaintiff had done i Tho jury without hesitation found for the l defendant Not guilty

CUTTING THE DEATH RATE.

We are appalled, at the great loss of life that accompanies war without stop ping to consider that disease does even worse. We are constantly on the watch to prevent war but somehow we do not seem to take the same amount of inter est in the prevention of disease
 Nevertheless progress is being made if we are to judge by the figures which are presented by life insurance actuar- ies. Not only does it appear that pre- ventive measures are bringing good re- suits but that the method of treating diseases must likewise be given credit for the reduction in the number of deaths. As to the ailments which come with age, in which of course our habits are an important factor, they continue to claim about as many as ever, but when it comes to contagious diseases the year 1921 shows much more satisfac- tory results than did 1920 from human ity's standpoint. This is indicated by the fact that this year there were but two deaths iron. pneumonia to five for last year. and that while there used to be one death in four from tuberculosis there is now but one in nine Influenza seems to have run it's course or been got ten well in hand for it's victims this year were but one where they were eight last year
 Unfortunately however while deaths from disease seem to be on the decline there appears to be 8 gain in the num- Der whose deaths are caused by the au- 1 tomobile while there has also been ar | Increase in the number of suicides and murders. Thus even though there are some offsets for the good showing of | the year about to close the better fight l Ing in the war against contagious dis | eases cannot fail to be noted with a higr degree of satisfaction.

storie. That Recall Other.
Pardon Me"

Noontine is a busy time in the fancy work department. A young girl, receiv- ing her package. tried to slip out grace fully but failed. Having bumped into someone, she murmured Pardon me" No one moved or scowled at her and, wonderingly, she turned to find, much to her companions amusement, that she was being polite to a dignified figure in an at- tractive pink apron, marked s1.9S.
 Of Course Not.
 Illustrative of the time an official who has much to do with the dispensing of charity tells the following interesting story of an occurrence not so long ago:
 There was poor family. the father of which was a wanderer and of not much account. There were six children and the mother was left most of the time to provide for them. The family had been getting help out of the town poor fund.
 One day son in the family got into trouble The sheriff and a town repre- sentative drove to the home. The boy was away. The mother seemed anxious that the law should have it's course with the son. and to avoid an extra trip and expense the sheriff suggested:
 Well, then, I'll not come out after him when he comes back, but you bring him in."
 Why, I can't bring him in now" ex- plained the woman. Our machines broke"

rRANcE.s NAVAL PLEA.

There are indications that the position taken by France in regard to a large navy and the addition of ten capital ships of 15. GOO tons each is not so diff ferent from what was taken by Japan 'n its effort Co keep the Mutsu. Japan had DO thought of giving up its latest hattleship SO it insisted upon change .n the naval ratio as proposed by Sec -etary Hughes. The ratio couldn't be changed and possibly Japan didn't ex- rsct that lt would be. but it succeeded nevertheless iu saving it's pet battleship 1y forcing the other countries to build more. Japan keeps the Mutsu and the rat.o remains unchanged but it means a big expense for this country and Great Britain. which expense it was desired Go avoid.
 rn the case Of France 1t doesn't appear that any definite policy has been de- cfded upon as to capital ships but ten battleshins have been mentioned. Sub seQuent communications with Premier Briand indicate that the stand on that point is not fixed. that the delegates here are 70 exercise their Judgment bu; take care not co sacrifice Frances in- terests
 There arc indications chat the ten shin plan will not be pressed. That will mean a yielding on the part of France co the demands of the other nations that there be adherence 10 the Hughes plan which plan received the hearty endorse mcat of 8I Briand.
 But France is eeslrous of building plenty of submarines. while 1t Is knowr that there is a desire on the part O Great Britain for a reduction in tn, quota under the Hughes plan. Thus i would appear that France may have beei srarrine for position in making a de mand for ten capital ships since b. ah1nGoninr such a claim it can plac greater insistencs upon the idea of larger fleet of underwater boats for de feusive purposes.
 Thus the matter remains in doubt an lt win remain for future negotiations [ determine what will result from the in dicated plan Of give and take. There more than one way of trying to ge around an obstruction.

NrrLrcrFn ARMENIA.

It has always seemed to be the plea that there was too much work to be done ir other directions when 1t came to dealing with the troubles of Armenia and safeguarding it against the ravages of tho Turks. Immediately following the war with the setting up of the Armenian rspubIc it was apparent that no pro- rection had been afforded for those peo- ole. The great desire was foA kf1is country 10 undertake a job entirely out of It's sphere Of influence and in a part of the world where 1t has no desire to become involved even in the guidance of another government. But even after the rufusal Of the United States to respond Co the call no other solution was reach ed. IL has been a case where Armenia has been allowed to shift for itself, to endeavo- 70 protect itself by associatins win questionable company and to do what it believed was advantageous un- der the conditions 10 insure as much nafery as possible.
 As long as there was a French army "a Asia Minor there was considered tc h. a certain degree of protection. or rn influence that would prevent a re- ruumption of the savagery of the past but now that France has made peace t~lth the Turkish nationzlists and thad army is to be recalled Armenians can sat De blamed for being a bit anxfosi l-ur@U'hnt Is going ~toSbecome of them.

MERELY CAT TALES

T don't care specially for cats" Will kinson told the out-of-town customer. But I saw one at the house of cousin of mine the other day that actually seemed to have brains"
 That is surely marvel" laughed the out-of-town customer q am afraid I haven't much use for cats myself My dislike for them is old, dating from my childhood, when lived with an aunt who had four of them. I had to get up in the middle of cold winter nights to see whether they were comfortable and as they slept in the woodshed it gave me a feeling not very much akin to love"
 ''The young folks of today don't know what a cold winter is." chuckled Will1in- son. But speaking of cats I have learn ed that it's best to look around before you comment on them That cat of my cousins was so uncanny It gives me the creeps just to think of it."
 "Go ahead" said the out-of-town GUS toner What could 1t do: tell time or spell your name with cards?"
 "Oh, this wasn't 8 trained cat" said Wilkinson That is what made it so amazing that it should do such a trick It was sitting in an easy chair at the other end of the living room most of the evening and nobody paid much attention to it. It was only when it stretched and made a noise Yawning that Della spoke of it She said that it was a valuable ani- nal, given to her after it had won prizes at four shows-given her by a nephew of a governor. She told me what 1t was valued at and seemed to pride herself or the creatures pedigree as much as though it were her own. It got on my l nerves to hear anybody rave so ovel such very homely cat and I spoke III very boldly"
 And made her mad, I'll bet.'' T wouldn't have cared about that l smiled Wilkinson. But when I finished 1 telling Della that I thought it the ugli est and most stupid cat I ever saw, tha creature got up slowly. jumped of tn, chair and. coming toward me. sprang ol
 to the arm of my chair and raising it
 paw struck me three times right acros
 the mouth. Being satisfied with the pun
 ishment it got down and walked away
 What do you know about that?"

A1menians know tho Turks and they are yell aware of the fact that they have not reformed over night or just because they are expected to as the result of the war. No one is better acquainted with the outchering prociivities of the Turks than the Arfnenians and when their peo- pie and villages are being slaughtered and burned they have good reason for believing that the Turk Is himself again
 and mercy can be expected to have no chance.
 How frightful the conditions have got
 to become over in Asia Minor before there will be 8 restraining hand no one
 can tell. The unfortunate thing about 1t all Is that the Turk was ever given g chance to practice his former habits again and that 1t Is necessary to await
 massacre before adequate preventive
 steps are taken in behalf of Armenia

NEW ENaLANDs ATTRACTIONS.

Perhaps there is a. feeling that the many attractions of New England are such that they speak for themselves. There can be no question but what they do make strong and convincing argu- ment once they get a chance to appeal, but 1t is in competition with others which force|their appeal that they often suffer from. neglect.
 Thus it' can be readily understood that ttere is good sound reasoning back of the decision of the New England Ho- tei association at its recent meeting in voting to raise a fund of $300,OOO for the purpose of advertising New England to tourists.
 From Cos Cob to Eastport or from Burlington to Nantucket there is a di- versity of attractions that cannot fail to satisfy the most exacting To New Englanders this is well understood. To those who have been in the habit ot | travelling by railroads, trolleys and steamboats it is well understood where the attractions lie that make the strong est appeals to the particular require | ments, but in these days a large part of the resort visitors, travellers and tour l ists do not restrict themselves to such | transportation. With motor vehicles and good roads New England is the va cation ground of large numbers from al- most all parts of the country. You see i the Alabama, Missouri. Illinois and even California cars T ( gled with those of nearer states doing" New England. and it Is the aim of the hotel men to i'm press upon such tourists and others the natural beauties of New England, and 1 to direct their attention to many of the points of interest that might otherwise be overlooked.
 It is all of course with a view to do
 ing a bigger business. They figure that they have the equipment and attraction. and in wanting to put forth an appea
 that will vie with those of other sec
 tions there can be no question but wha
 they have agreed upon the most satis factory medium in resorting to adver
 Using. In the setting forth of it's de
 lightful attractions there is no dangel
 that they will in any way be overdone

T can't answer" said the out-of-town customed. However, I'll bet that it was just playing with your face as it might with anything else that was moving. Makes me think of what one of those cats of my aunt's did. We used to hang up our stockings on Christmas eve and find in them all sorts of crazy things the next morning.
 "Will you ever forget it?" said Will kinson. "The jokes we used to put up on each other were great sport, at least in our house.
 They were with us too," said the out of-town customer. We had three grown folk and six children in the house and we always hung up stockings for the four cats as well. There was one big gray cat by the name of Pete that was the smart est of the lot. and I remember that that particular day he wa sthe only one that turned up for the celebration. The other cats had gone off somewhere and we were too excited to hunt them up. There's nothing like the thrill of l Christmas morning. said Wilkinson. "I feel it even nowadays"
 1 There was ball in every cats stock l ing" went on the out-of-town customer. 1 But a cousin who had visited us had sent a little box by mail to Pete He was her favorite cat and she said the l others weren't deserving of her atten- 1 tion. We had put the box in Pete'e own stocking, which looked exactly like the
 stockings of the other cats except that
 they all had the cats names on them. 1 know you won't believe me when l tel l you that when Pete came in he stood l only a moment looking about before he 1I-z s--f-k -I-.k 1 and stuck his nose in, pulling out the box that had come by mail"
 Come, now. go easy" protested Vii l kinson. ''You can't make me believe tha- 1 that cat could read. I'm afraid I don 1 believe word of it"
 Well, there was nothing else to guid'
 Pete in his choice" said the out-of-tow1

SAFETY IN THEATRES.

Recently it was stated that If there happened Co be one theater or motion picture house in the state that was not conforming to the requirements for the protection of the public it was too many by one.
 Report from the state police depart ment Co the effect that there were ten lmuscucnt houses in the state which had failed to pass the inspection require meats and had therefore been closed ind-cates @ lack os enforcement of reg ulatl'ns and a violation of the law. in- tentonally or unntentionally that might never have heen brought to light but for Rho revelations n connection with the burning of the Rialto theater in New Ha- ven. The closing of these houses until they comply with the requirements is the only course to pursue for by such ac- uou thcre win be forestalled the dan gers that were disregarded in the Elm city.
 But what is going to be the attitude i- regard Go these matters in the fu- turc7 Is the New Haven disclosure go- Ing co be the means Of seeing that amusement places for the next six months or SO are made 10 obey the law only co have . forgotten thereafter. or is tt going to result in a different policy ln Che uart of the managements and the inspectors in the future2
 Prom such report as has been made g. is To be concluded that there are most ot the communities in the state where the requirements are being en- forced where local authorities and those who operate such places are alert to the protection of the public.
 Laws and regulations amount to some thing only when they are resDected. ToC often ls it the case that there Is resent ment because of the forced complianc, ulth the laws but it is through thc efforts of those who put the requirement., into effect and see that they are re enecfsd st an times that the desired ob iect is obtained.

CLEANED FROM FOREIGN
 EXCHANGES

We can understand and make allow ances for Frances anxiety for safety against invasion, though it seems to us strangely nervous in the circumstances but M. Briand seems to have made no allowance for our anxieties as an island power on the score of submarines and his plea that France needs them because she may want to bring troops over from Africa strikes one as very forced. Ger many could only stop their passage by submarines, and in the whole of last war there was only one example or a SUD | marine fighting submarine. What is M Briand thinking of?
 New Zealand's Sailor Governor-Vis- count Jelliooe today celebrates his second l birthday in New Zealand, where he took up his duties as governor general four | teen months ago. The first leader of the Grand Fleet completes his Sgd year and will next July see the jubilee of his entry | as a naval cadet. It is rather curious l that heirs were born to both Lord Jellicoe 1 and to Earl Haig within a few weeks, | while the war, which brought them fame ' and honors to pass on, was still in prog ress. Both these future peers will be four next spring.
 1 The Nobel Prizes-The fact that the | Nobel chemistry prize has been awarded | to the German inventor of poison gas has led to some criticism of the Swedish
 Academy of Sciences. which is charged
 with the task of selecting the recipient of
 ths particular Nobel distinction. But Dr.
 Nobel made it a condition in establishing
 the five prizes that they should be award
 ed to those who, in the course of the
 previous year had rendered to humanity
 the greatest service It would appear
 therefore, that Professor Nernsts poison
 gas achievement in 1915 had nothing tc do with the honor conferred on him 1T
 1921. Anyhow, his poison gas is appar ently hopelessly outclassed by "lewisite.
 the latest thing of it's kind, so named af ter its American inventor, Professor Lew is, which is guaranteed to penetrate an! mask and to destroy by burning it's vic l tirns both inside and outside, and i
 claimed to be "the main organ of se
 curity in future warfare" = Londol
