NATIONAL
MUSIC WEEK

And now they are observing music
week" at the National Capital, with
President Harding's seal of approval
upon the idea. Families are requested
to set aside an hour during the week
for music in the home.
Another suggestion that is source
of comment in the East is the pro-
posal that the legislators occasionally
sing patriotic song before starting
work-sort of a community singing
project applied to Congress. Objec-
ton is made that time would be thus
wasted.
Community singing has taken a
strong hold on people in certain parts
of the United States, perhaps because
of having been fostered during the
war to increase better morale" If
singing of patriotic songs among SOL
diers will have effect of increasing
fervor and desire to do or die for the
nation, perhaps the proponents of
singing by Congressman are justified.
Perhaps they arrived at conclusion
that Congressman, when lifted to pa
triotic heights by song, would better
do their work in exclusive interest of
humanity.
Tests have recently been coducted
by player-piano and monograph COM
panies to ascertain the effect of music
upon human beings. Results were
definite and claim was made that peo-
pie could be thrown into any mental
attitude by specified classes of music.
1t is a generally accepted fact that
music does have such effect, as wit
ness the desire of people who dance
started. Why not carry the idea fur
Their and use music to instill the sense
of Americanism that is now being
sought not only by the American Le-
gion but by opponents to I.WW.ism
and so on?
Coming to Winnemucca with Chau-
tauqua within a few days will be an

He is guaranteed to get everyone to

and it is a safe bet that some of the
service men who enjoyed war sing
ing will make it point to be in at
tendance, as there is no fun like be-
coming part of crowd carried away
with rolicking song. Several attempts
have been made in this city to start

been that people refuse to "let CO."

Alice with the soft brown hair and

Alice said when she married

as their wedding day was put far

George. But George was restless.
he wanted to go out with the crowd,

Alice wanted to see only the best
dramas: George couldn't appreciate
anything without lively music and
girls.
Alice liked plain, but well cut
clothes; George wanted a great deal
OF fash and splurge.
And so it went. George was. as
Alice had confided to her friends,
before marriage, different, so differ

restless under the constant friction

ways.

The republican nominee is j. NJ.

trict several terms and declined
nomination last year. He is being
opposed by Howard Cavanaugh. of
Battle Creek. who won the demo-
cratic nomination without opposi-

hard fight The fact that the cleo

ers. combined with the additional
fact that 10000 men are unemployed
in the principal cities of Battle

uncertainty TO the outcome.

POLAND MODELS ITS
GOVERNMENT AFTER
THE UNITED STATES
European Country Making
Effort to Return TO Pre-
War Rating.

WARSAW, July 4.-The Ameri-
can press has kept its readers con-
tinually in touch with Polish mill
tary operations.
American readers know how Po-
land defeated the bOlsheyikl. They
know all about the guerilla warfare
now being waged by Polish irregu-
lars in the disputed territory of up
per Silesia.
But American readers do not know
Of the political and industrial strides
made by the infant Poland republic
since its birth a few months ago.
POland's chief political advance
ment has been the adoption of a re-
publican constitution along decidedly
liberal lines.
In an article on the career OF Gen.
Josef Pilsudski, first president Of
Poland, The News-Times already
has described the general nature Of
this constitution.
No Veto Power.
The constitution of the United
States is its model. 1t creates a
popular assembly Of "seym" very
similar to the American congress
The "seym," however, exercises
some powers that in America arc
vested In the executive and legisla-
tive branches of the government.
Executive power is vested in a
president. The Polish president,
however, is a European model Of
president He has no veto power.
Since Poland is predominantly
Roman Catholic, the Roman Cath
Ollie church is recognized as a state
church. Poland probably will en-
ter into cordial relations with the
vatican.
The Polish clergy viii be consult
ed in determining the exact relation
which the church shall bear TO the
state. A conference of church and
civil heads will be held to this end.
The date has not yet been fixed.
Poland's president is elected for a
period of seven years. He must
be a natural-born Pole. Unlike the
American executive, he cannot be
commander-in-chief of the army.
Many Industries.
POland's economic life IS fast ap-
preaching normally.
The infant republic owes $780,
100000 TO the United States. This
Is war debt. It represents the pur-
chase Of supplies in the United
States for use in military operations.
Seventy percent Of the Polish pop
ulation is engaged IN agriculture, 80
| percent is commerce and industry.
Farmers produce wheat, rye, oats.
barley, potatoes, live stock and
sugar.
Factories turn out metals. textiles
and tanned hides.
Mines yield coal. iron, lead. cop
per. salt, potash, sulphur, phosphor-
US and petroleum.
IN order to overcome hindrances
