of what they believed to be only tempo
rary adversely. Only his closest business
associates were aware of the terrible men
tai strain under which he was working
and even they could not believe that his
occasional Respondent moments We're the
symptoms of an unbalanced mental con
dition such as must have led him to believe
that the only way out was the way he
took.
Inability to meet large contracts made
at the high prices prevailing in the gram
trade last summer and fall was the Gull
mination of Mr.. CroSby's business difficult
ties. and it is no more than the simple
truth to say that his concern while prac-
icaIly free from local debts Is heavily IN
v0lved with western houses. 1t IS be
lievpd, however. that some sort of reor-
ganiz> ton may make possible a continu-
ance Of the business With which the family
name has been identified since 1910.
Charles X. Crosby was born in Brat
tleboro Sept 6. 1866. the youngest of the
II children of Edward and Kelsey tJOnesl
Crosby. His father, who died April ,.
1890 was one Of the foremost men of the
town in the field of business and always
was Jealous for the welfare of Brattle-
boro. Edward Crosby built Crosby block
which was completed 30 years ago last
April. in 1871. and which ever since has
been one of the principal store and office
structures in the southeastern corner of
the state
In 1884, in his 18th year. Mr.. Crosby
graduated from the BrattleborO high
school. He at once entered the Office of
f. Crosby < Co.. which already had be
come one of the largest flour and grain
commission houses in New England. He
became a member of the firm in 1883, and
he had been actively identified with it
ever since. For several years before his
father died the firm was doing a business
of more than 81 100000 year, and Subse-
Gueutly branch houses were established
and the business Increased until at the
time of the World war the concern, Of
which Mr.. Crosby had become sole pro

Mr.. Crosby also leaves a brother, Edward
c. Crosby of Brattleboro, and several
nephews and nieces.
Anything approaching an adequate esti-
mate of Charles r. Crosby's public inter
ests and activities would amount to an
enumeration of practically every local
project that AROSE during the 30 Nodd
wears over which his active career eX-
tended. He believed in Brattleboro abso-
lutely and enthusiastically-took pride In
its past, found joy in its present and had
unbounded faith III its future. No mcve-
ment looking toward community better
ment ever found him an unwilling contrib
utor. and as the growth of his business
made it possible so the measure Of his
suDport increased. He was a prodgious
worker. setting Il pace, during the years
his business grew so rapidly, that not
only inspired his associates but cOntiu-
ually surprised them by the vast amount
he was able to accomplish day after day.
Yet in spite of the force he welded IN
business there was not a more beloved
employer in BrattlebOro titan &C. r. as
he was known by those in the Office. He
| expected much but gave much in return,
and. above all, set the example by shout
dering the heaviest Of the burden.
For all his engrOSsment in business Mr.
! Crosby'S home life was. of that peculiarly
| happy kind that can only be BUILT on true
! love. perfect understanding and congenial
comradeship. Although in recent years he
| had found little tinfe for outdoor recrea-
ton his limited indulgence i'm it was
marked by the same enthusiasm that
| characterized his work.
Enthusiasm for everything pertaining
to the town which had always been his
home. loyalty to the friends who had
shared his JOY in helping its growth
those were the outstanding qualities of

CHICAGO, May 0-Jazz is the evi

ing of the Music Trades convention here
today
Jazz. " said Dr.. Morton, expresses
hysteria and ncites to idleness, revelry,
dissipation destruction, discord and
chaos. 1t accords with the devastating,
volcanic spirit that has burst forth over
the world in the last six years. Rhythm
and musical vibrations swayed the half
savage yoodooists like a powerful in
toXicaut 1t shows the extreme to
which musical vibrations scan control hui
man nerves when improperly employed.
This is bad music, but the difference be
tween the incantationcrazed fanatics
and the patriot or soldier stirred to
noble action by music is difference in
the music itself. Jazz IS compounds
after the same formula as the Noodoo
chants. lypltynE the unbalanced StaJe
of humanity : mind, it tends 10 unhlnge
it more and more. Human nerve tissues
respond to this perverted ,oreanizzaa

world needs good music as never before
seldom do YOU hear Home Sweet
Home sung now. Formerly it dropped
in upon us in concert encores and quiet,
social and family gatherings. And
every rendition OF it reacted Oh. on the the
cerebral tissue of those who sang ana
to lesser extent on those who lis
tened. With Home Sweet silenced
home itself tends to disappear. With
home swallowed up in the cabaret, the
great stabilizing center >of society Is
lost.
