The Birth of Music
To Be Read to the Children

There is an old, old story, which it is
said the ancient Greeks used to tell to
their children about how music came into
the world.
1t is story of something that hap
pened ages and ages and ages ago, in the
very golden dawn of the world. 1t was
before there was speech, before there was
song, before there was sound Of any kind.
1t was even before the trees began to
grow, or the clouds to gather in the sky,
or the rains to fall. 1t was before the sea
had begun to move, and before the living
creatures of the earth and the sky were
even awake for the first time.
Only the fairies and the young gods
of the fable stories and the magic tor
toise of the sea had begun to live.
And it was in the sunshine of this
earliest dawn that wandering god found
on the golden sands of an Orient shore a
tortoise shell that had a few dried
strands stretched across its empty bowl
In his play, the sportive god caught
up the new toy and swept his hand across
the vibrant strands and chord leapt
forth.
It was the new worlds first sound-it
was music.

DRASTIC REPR|SALS
REPORTED OFFICIAL
IN IRISH TROUBLE

LONDON, Jan. 8. - Reprisals
against the Sim Feiners were Of
fetal today.
This Interpretation, received even
here with a great deal of misgivfng,
was placed upon an official report of
burnings of buildings at Middleton
and Knockgriffin, where crown forces
were ambushed last Wednesday.
In addition there was proclama-

manding at Cork. It warned that
those who fail ito prevent damage
to government property are as liable
to punishment as those who inf1ict
the damage. The penalty will be
inflicted against either persons or
property, the proclamati ton said.
This announcement threw conster-

land already torn by fear Of I'M
official reprisals and in constant fear
of a renewal of the outbreaks which
have marked Cork's history in the
last few months.
The severi of the Middleton dam

when it was found that the house
of John O'Shea, chairman of the
towns be I'd of guardians, had been
wrecked by explosives. The home

DILIGENT SEARCH
FOR YOUNG GIRLS
IS BEING MADE.

Much mystery surrounds the dis
appearance of Ollie and Ruth Coch-
ran, young daughters of Mr.. and Mrs.
F. M. Cochran, from their home near
Marietta, Ga, and although the po-
lice authorities Of two counties have
made a diligent search, no trace of
their whereabouts has been uncov-
cred.
Ollie Cochran is thirteen years old,
and is described as being rather tall
and slender for her age, with black
hair, deep brown eyes, and fair
complexion, while Ruth Cochran is
ten years old, not very tall, stout,
girls are said to have been nicely
dressed in serge dresses when they
were last seen.
According to Viola Berry and Eftie
Wells, girl neighbors of the Coch-
rams, who brought the information
was at S:15 Monday night, at Smyr-
ma, GAN where they boarded an At
a-Marietta trolley car, bound for
and due in Atlanta at 8 o'clock. ,
The conductor of this car said
they seemed to have considerable
dolls. He said they got off the car at
know where they went. He said they
were very quiet on the trip to At
lanta, and gave no information as
to their possible destination.
Miss '>rry said that the father
of the two girls came over to her
house, which she said was pear the
Cochran's, On r. f. D. route NO. 8,
near Marietta, and asked her to ask
The Journal to aid in the seafch. She
said that the father seemed distract
ed with grief and said che would do
home. Miss Berry said that Ollie and
Ruth had several brothers and sis
ters. -.
. 1t was at first thought that the lit
tie girls were intent on visiting an
aunt in Atlanta, or an aunt IN Ma
con, Ca, but investigation at both
of these places disclosed that they
had not been at either.
Mr.. Cochran said that he knew no
reason why his little girls should
have left home, as they seemed APP
parently happy all day Monday, and
had been playing with their Christ,
mas presents all day long. He, salo
that s. ar as he knew their nome
life had been at all times pleasant.
Police Chief Beavers said Monday
morning that he had conducted
city wide search all last week, but
had been unable to throw any lISnt
on the disappearance. He said that
he did not believe the little girls had
met with foul play, but that they
would turn up alright in the course
of time. The police authorities OF
Cobb county have also been searcn-
ing for the girls, but as yet have not
found them,

Cubans Fear u. S.
May Clamp Down
Lid in Near Future

HAVANA, Cuba.-Cubans see the
possibility of another intervention in
the island by the United States.
They look for action after Presi-
dent-e1ect Harding takes office.
Reasons: Political conflict, the
moratorium, refusal of some Cuban
merchants to accept goods ordered
from the United States, and kindred
troubles.
Many Cubans would welcome hav-
ing Washington straighten out the
islands involved finances, but few
yearn for the same forces that have
put across prohibition in the states
to have a hand in Cuban affairs.
If, they ask, Harding should inter-
vene-
Would Cuba's cafes be closed?
Would the lid be put on Havana,
refuge of the thirsty Americans?
Would gambling be banned?
Would the national lottery be
closed?
Havana is feeling the effects of the
crime wave which has gripped many
American cities. Police are trying
to solve two bathing beach murders,
one case being that of an American
girl found dead on a rock.
American spenders are the hope of
the islanders. In the Casino de la
Playa roulette wheels spin through
the nights, raking in stacks of good
American dollars to the crash OF
American jazz.

MISSING BALLOON

WITH PILOTS SAFE
Naval BIinnp Landed in On

Trading Post, Telegram
Reports :

ROCKAWAY, N. Y, Jan. 3.-The
missin.' navy balloon A-559S landed
twenty miles northeast of Moose
Factory, Ontario, December IA, and
the crew of three men is safe at a
Hudson bay trading post, according
to telegram received at the naval
air station here tonight.
News Of the aeronauts' safety was
received in the following telegram
from them from Mattice, Ont:
Driven by storm Monday, 1913,
west by north at Lower Hudson bay;
forced to land 2 p. M, 1914 about
ten miles north by east of Moose
Factory, Ont. Latitude $3.50, longi-
tude 81.00. Lost in forest four days.
Crew safe at Hudson company post.
Will leave on first available means
of transportation to railroad, which
is by dog sled, and will take about
nine days. Leaving here Monday,

The A-5598 left here shortly after
noon Monday, December 10. No def
mite destination was planned but
the prevailing northwest wind indi-
Gated a landing somewhere in Can
ada. With the exception of a re-
port that the balloon was seen pass
ing over Wells, N. Y, late that same
night, no definite word was received
here Of the progress of the flight.
The balloon carried a crew of three
men. Lieutenant Walter Hinton, of
To VII NJ Nil Iar.
Commander Albert c. Read on the
meas transatlantic fight, was in
charge. His companions were Lieu
tenants Stephen A. Farrell, a line
officer, of this city, and Louis A..
Kloor, Jr., of New Orleans, naval
reserve force, pilot.
The three officers were supplied
which, it was said, would serve them
for ten days in an emergency. They
had f Lined garments and electric
ally-heated warmers to make their
voyage more comfortable.
Ninety-six hours after the bal
looms departure when fears were
first felt for the safety of the aero
uduCS, " lolSSS SldIIOuS anu lOISSL
rangers in northern New York and
southeastern Canada were notified
to be on the lookout for the bal
loon.
A few days later two army air
planes were sent from Mitchell field
to Albany to begin an aeronautical
search over the Adirondacks. One
of the machines met with a mishap
on the flight from Albany to Glens
Falls, their proposed base of opera
tions, and the other continued the
search alone, but without success.
c. dian officials, who were APP
prised of the flight, first advanced
the theory that the aeronauts had
landed in some remote section and
probably would make their way to
lumber camp or trading post.
Moose. Factory, where the balloon
landed, is located on James bay at
the mouth of the Moose river, and
is about 500 miles distant from New
York on a direct air line. The place
is a trading post and outport of the
Hudson Bay company.
