CENTRAL AMERICANS
 HAVE NEW DISPUTE
When Union of Four Countries Seems Likely, Two of Them Get
 Into Squabble.

Guatemala, June 16.-Just at the time that the union of four of the Gen. tral American republics is being an nounced by it's supporters as a fact, g question of the boundary between Hon. duras and Guatemala has come to the front. 1t is reported here that armed forces from Honduras have occupied the disputed territory.
 Honduras lays claim to strip of territory to the south and cast of the Motagua river which has been in the possession of Guatemala. if not since time immemorial, at least since Guate- mala became independent. It consists for the most part of a tropical wilder ness covered with interminable forests. A range of mountains forms the south ern boundary of this wilderness. With the building of the railroad from Puerto to Guatemala City, and the develop ment of banana plantations along its route and on the Motagua river, settle ments have naturally sprung up in the wilderness. and purchases of the vacant lands have followed.
 Now Honduras bases its claim to this territory on some old Spanish maps and surveys said to have existed when the whole of Central America was known as the Kingdom of Guatemala and was govern b va viceroy at the old city of Guatemala.
 Sensational reports have been pub lished in two of the daily newspapers here recently concerning this claim of Honduras in which insinuations are made that representatives of Guatemala actually sold the interests of Guatemala to the Honduranians.

MUSIC IS FORCE IN
 LIFE OF AMERICANS
Jazz Is OutsrOWth- of Barbaric
 Ceremonies

Salt Lake City, Utah. June 13.- Music has become a force and not an adjunct in the life of every American citizen. Anna Faulkner Oberndorfer Chicago. national music chairman of the General Federation of Women's Clubs, declared in an address here today at the rcccration's Great Salt Lake council
 We Americans huve had the wi onc attitude regarding music for so long that it Is difficult for us to grasp quick ly the full realization of it's I,owcr,'' She said. As a nation we have tIe::t e eel music as a thing apart fion. insts sd of part of, our daily life. 1t Is not so many years ago that the average American business man was all but ashamed to acknowledge d love for music.
 Now Il change has come. If we re- view the pages of musical history we will lind that the gIcateSt growth in music always follows some great war. The prc-wur status of music in Ameri- will never return"
 Mrs. Oberndorfer urged daily music hours in the homes during which the folk songs Of America will be sung. Music memory contests should Ee start ed in every community by women's clubs, she declared.
 The speaker declared that many large industries, which started community songs for employees duging the wal times. were forced to forbid the sing 'ng of ''JaEz'' music in their factories.

FORESTRY DANGERS
 IN CONNECTICUT
". 0. Filley Addresses Rotary
 Club at Luncheon

That the many peopk in Connec- ticut have the wrong idea as to the true meaning of forestry was care | fully explained by State Forester w.. Q. Filley at the meeting of the Ro- tary Club held at the Elks' grill this noon. Mir. F'illey gave a very in- teresting talk on forestry in Con- Il. cticut. In his talk MT. Filley said: ''Thcre is one great problem which confronts the officials of the state forestry and that is to educate the public to the necessity of forestry practice in Connecticut"
 According to MT. Filley tree sur gery. numbering, and the protection of forests against fire. etc. N not forestry although they areSfall a great part of it. Forestry is an econ omic problem connected with the closely related to industry in Con necticut. 1t is only to be regretted MT. Fiiley says that the legislature If the state does not take a more ac- i've interest in forestry. There are several reasons why that ofictal body should take an interest the most important being that one-half If the state is growing nothing more than brush and trees. One-third of the area of the 'state is pure for est land with little shrubbery.
 The amount of forest production in ;hi., state is less each year and at the present time Connecticut raises only I5 per cent of the amount of wood used in the state. Ten years ago it faLscd 2s per cent and MT. Filley tated that. in five years it would probably would not be raising 10 per ent.
 Forest fires are another great anger to the Connecticut forests and no much is being done to remedy the
 i'V states. The state orestry association is trying to pre- vent the fires by controlment and pos ,ibIe establishment of lookout towers which many other states have. Another great hindrance to forestry Is taxation. In the opinion of MT. Filly the time is coming when the farmer will be taxed for the land he owns and for the trees only when they are cut and not standing as at the present ime.

'YALE-HARVAKD BUAI
 RACE ADVANCE NEWS
Both Crews Are Training ViSor.
 OuSly for Contest Next Week

Red Top. Conn.,, June 16.-Har- yard oarsmen were reminded today that race day is approaching as they were not only given racing start practice but the varsity was sent over the first mile as if Yale was rowing against it. It was a row at a stroke the crew is expected tD take after the start and hold through for that distance. The high north west wind of yesterday had not blown itself out and the water was again rough. pr. Howe took the freshman and combination crews out together and gave them a fast one minute Spurt which then settled down to a half mile row. The finish was an easy paddle and a dash for the float. Coach Haincs took out the second crew for a lively mile with a num- Der of racing starts. The varsity did racing starts and then a hard row over the first mile of the course. The men were told that this instruction was exactly what they will have to do when the big race is started. Under water and wind conditions the coach es were satisfied with the practice.
