Jazz music is thru, and the cause
for its passing from public favor is
that the people have. come to realize
that there are no real musical quail
ties in jazz and that it appeals only to
the lowest feelings, according to Prof.
Harold L. Butler, dean of the school of
music of the University of Kansas.
Jazz" says Dean Butler, lis mere

mated in the dancing dives of the
south, and came into popularity by be-
ing copied in the dancing halls of New
York and other large cities. Jazz is
nothing but syncopated rhythm and
has been the biggest cause of the IN
desirable dances which have been so
prevalent of late. In attempting to
Gust such dances authorities have
started at the wrong point. The mu-
sic should be reformed first. for no
person can dance properly to the vul-
gar music which has been played re-

Paper Once Royal Gift.

There was a time when only the no
bility, the great personages of history,
could enjoy the use Of paper, and then
in only the most meager quantities.
Only 1,800 years ago Emperor Trajan
of Rome was the delighted recipient of
a muniticent gift consisting Of 20 reams
of paper from the emperor of China
In that age and time 20 reams of the
precious fabric was considered royal
gift indeed, and only pOtentate with
the vast resources Of China at his dis
posal could afford to give a present of
such value.
One can imagine the elation enjoyed
by Trajan upon receiving so great
quantity Of paper, and thus know that
through such generosity he was to aug

NO REASON FOR CONFUSION
Christian Chronology Really Quite
Simple Matter, Though 1t Requires
Little Explanation.

Using the birth of Our Lord as a
starting point for counting time did
not become general until the Chris
tian religion had made considerable
progress. Some confusion arises from
overlooking the fact that the ancient
nations had their own systems and
their own starting points. For in
stance, the Romans counted from the
founding of their city, Rome, and
when Our Lord was born 1t was the
year 1853 according to Roman chrOnOl-
ogy. Having taken the year in which
Our Lord was born as the starting
point of the new or Christian chronOl-
ogy, the years preceding that starting
point could only be counted as years
before Christ and the farther you go
back into the past the greater their
number, just as the greater the num-
Der the farther you come down from
the starting point towards the pres
ent There Is nothing confusing in
this, and the same principle is APP
piled on any through railway time
table. A transcontlnental timetable
counts distances from terminal
both ways, one way east and the
other way west. In our chronology
the year of the birth Of Our Lord Is
the starting point, and the years are
counted both ways-those that had
passed before that event and those
that have passed since that event.
This system is, OF course, in use only
In Christian countries. The Jews be-

there is no counting backwards be-
