Music Week in April.

\ Every week should be music week
to men, women and children IN gen
eral. 1t is to many, and many more
crave for the soothing and elevating
influence. 1t is to promote the uni
versal and constant influence of music
as one of life's best joys that a spe-
cial annual musical week is being
advocated.
New York had one last year, from
February / TO Z. There was a great
musical revival, il the term may be
borrowed from another spiritual field
Thousands of persons were made pro-
ducers of sweet sound and tens Of
thousands We're grateful listeners
Seventeen hundred institutions, in
Guiding schools, clubs, churches, settle
ments. industrial groups, theatres
moving picture houses, took part In the
boom. There were concerts and spe-
cial programmes on al hands.
The organizers of that festival are
SO well satisfied over the results that
they are going to repeat the expert
ment this year. They will strive to
make it a yearly affair as regular as
Easter week or Christmas. For 1921
they have chosen the seven days from
April IL to %. They are now So
Letting an activity similar to last
years on the part OF the same units
or groups. Besides, they announce
that more emphasis will be placed
upon n few big features.
II may be asked why any active
propaganda is needed to advance the
cause Of music in city SO devoted to
It as is New York. The first answer
is that the massed concert audi
ence of New York is estimated at
about 10000 persons, Notwithstanding
the city's five and n half millions of
population and the teeming suburbs.
OF course this estimate means the
massed attendance ut performances
Of high grade-symphonic, chamber
music and virtuoso recital affairs.
But the number of persons thus indi-
Gated as real amateurs Is pitifully
small. 1t should be capable of easy
and enormous development.
Besides this higher range OF aspira-
ton there is the desire to broaden the
field Of musical enjoyment, to bring
music into every life, however
cramped In It's surroundings. 1t is
believed that last years trial showed
great possibility In that direction.
The managing committee challenges
all musical lovers to come to the front
and make clear demonstration of
1t next month.
Preparations are under the direct
charge Of Miss ISABEL LowDEN as
field director, with offices at 105 West
Fortieth street The programme for
the special features is not yet re-
vealed, but campaign is on to get
the schools and churches the choral
societies and other agencies, includ-
/ ing teachers and music dealers, busy
arranging for meetings and concerts !;
the Libraries are being urged to push
forward books on music.
| The idea is an excellent one. 1t
tends to increase the enjoyment Of
life on a high plane. 1t makes for
mental and spiritual development.
BY showing to persons ignorant or
neglectful of its possibilities the
great boon music may be it helps
produce contentment peace and good
citizenship. 1t should have the I'M
grudging support of all who are in
terested in the common good.

they are fitting measure of the
growth Of the nations foreign com
merce, for they alone are greater
than the whole trade OF 1921.
Our foreign trade extends more
truly than ever to MI climes and
whitens all the seas. We are no
longer the inferior but are the equal
of Great Britain. And our prodisicus
commerce OF to-day rests on the solid
foundation laid by those rugged pio-
neers who FIRST went down to the sen
in Yankee ships.

MONDAY, MARCH 81. 1921.
A Century Of Yankee Trade.

American trade with foreign coun-
tries was first recorded in official
Government statistics in 1921, and
the year 1920 rounded out a century
for which annual surveys are avail
able. The record, even in its bald,
official statistical form. is like a ro-
nance. 1t Is summarized in review
by NJ. DE RIcHEY CAIN Of the Edi-
torial Division, Bureau of Foreign
and Domestic Commerce. Back
through the years he takes us to the
time when it was said:
"1'he commerce OF the United
States ranks next to Great Britain; 1t
extends TO every cline and whitens
every sea"
So it was deemed fit to begin set
tinr the proud record forth in figures.
Our exports in 1920 were 185 times
as large as in 1921, our imports were
elghty-four times as large, and our
total foreign commerce, reckoned in
dollars, was 106 times that Of 100
years ago.
This, in contrast with an increase
OF elevenfold in population, the terri
torial expansion from 1,792,223 square
miles to 3,026.7S9 square miles, and
the growth from twenty-seven to
forty -eight States, tells the story of a
century's intensive development. The
total foreign trade has risen from
S1323 head to $127.S1. A summary
OF Mr.. CAMS tabular history of our
trade shows:

ume and value Of our foreign trade
were taking place the geographical
distribution adhered to early estab-
iished lines:

 MT. Underwood also lived for a time in China and Australia and has travelled to Oriental countries and in the last year made a tour of the Far East. MT. Boyns said MT. Un- derwoOd's long residence in Alaska and his wide acquaintanceship with Alaskans and members of Congress will enable him to be of material as sistance in legislative matters affect ing the Territory.
 This appropriation is made pos sibe by the recent reorganization of the chamber. which effected a ma terial reduction in personnel and economies which will enable the chamber to live within it's income and establish the long-needed bureau at the national capital.
 The trustees and finance commit tee of the chamber, in establishing the Washington bureau, acted on a report submitted by a special com mittee headed by Daniel B. Trefeth- en that recently investigated the sub ject fully and approved the plan.

J. J. Underwood, well known Al askan and newspaperman, has been appointed Washington, D. C., repre- sentative of the Seattle Chamber of Commerce, in charge of the bureau to be established at the national capital. MT. Underwood will take up his duties immediately.
 The opening of a Washington bu- reau follows action of the board of trustees of the chamber in declaring for it's establishment, for which an appropriation of funds was made by the committee of the chamber As soon as authority was given for the bureau, President Robert s. BOyns offered MT Underwood the place and Mir. Underwood telegraphed his ac- ceptance from the capital.
 "The chamber is extremely fortu- nate in getting a man of MT. Under woods qualifications to open this bureau at Washington, D. C." said MT. Boyns in a recent issue of the Seattle Times. "This city, state and Alaska have lost much because there was no man stationed there en- trusted solely with working the year round for our interests.

 When I was in Washington, D. C., some weeks ago l looked into the matter of a Washington bureau and found it's establishment was an urg ent need California cities and lately Portland have had men on the ground and they have done much good for their communities, and in this highly competitive time it was essential that Seattle as a community have it's men at the national capital
