Music and Noise

A grouchy old philosopher
once said that "of all noises
music is the least disagree
able. l."
George Ade, America s
greatest humorist land q keen
philosopher, too, by the way)
has . different idea about
music and he tells about it, in
those merry, pithy epigrams
Of his, in April Cosmopolitan.
Ade likes popular music and
says 90. He believesitpossible
to have good taste and still
like "Mother Machree" and
Molly Darling"
He also maintains that one
can enjoy grand opera with
out being either . fanatic or a
college professor.
Probably it would be aw-
fully hard, "he says, Ito room

about music. +"

the pending matters left over by his
predecessor an appeal for revocation
of an order barring visitors from the

leader, in Atlanta prison.
The disciplinary measure invoked
by superintendent Denver Dickerson
for Debs' alleged criticisms Of former
President Wilson has been allowed
to stand, despite protests from Debs'
friends and supporters. Originally
the order prohibited Debs from re-
ceiving letters, but this restriction
was lifted. Dickerson will GO out
Of office tomorrow, leaving action
upon the incommunicado order
against Debs for decision by his sue
