MUSIC IS NOW FORCE IN LIFE
 OF AMERICANS
Federation of Women s Clubs Is Told of New Change
 Tn Conditions.

SALT LAKE CITY, Utah, July lS.-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 recently at the federa- tion's Great Salt Lake Council.
 We Americans have had the wrong attitude regarding music for so long that it is difficult for us to grasp quickly the full realization of it's power" she said. As na- tion we have treated music as a thing apart from. instead of part of, our daily life It is not so many years ago that the average American business man was all but ashamed to acknowledge love for music
 Now a change has come. If we review the pages of musical history We will find that the greatest growth in music always follows some great war The pre-war status of music in America will never return"
 Mrs. Oberndorfer urged daily mu sic hours in the homes during which the folk songs of America will be sung. Music memory contests should be started in every community by women's clubs, she declared.
 The speaker declared many large industries, which started community sings for employees during war tines, were forced to forbid the singing of jazz music in their factories
 Jazz music,7 she said, lin it's original form. was used as accom-. paniment to the Voodoo ceremonies by which the uneducated and Almost barbaric aroused all his vilest ard most sensuous nature"

 Coast May Cause Trouble

OLD MORSE ELM

FIGHT FOR LIFE
Famous Tree of Wash
ington Has To Be
Cut Doaun.

Washington, May 1.-THE fam
GUS Morse elm at Pennsylvania ave-
nue. and Fourteenth street, one of
the Oldest land marks in the ma
tional capitol, is gone. It was re-
moved at midnight after a long but
losing fight for its life, which be-
gan when Fourteenth street was
widened some years ago.
This tree has looked down on
every inaugural parade held in
Washington. 1t was named for
Samuel F. B. Morse, inventor of the
telegraph, who, tradition relates,
often sat beneath it and recited to
interested listeners the wonders of
the telegraph. In the old days
many famous politicians would
gather in its shade to discuss af-
fairs of party and state.
The trunk of the tree has been
presented to the American Forestry
ASSOCIATION. The elm was one oi
the first trees to be given a place
by this association in the hall ol
fame Of trees with a history.

HARDING DOES !
NOT ADHERE TO
WILSON POLICY
Case of .Silesia,, Quar-
rel Cited As
Instance.
By DAVID LAWRENCE.
Especial to The Argus.)


Washington, May 14.-Enorts to
differentiate between the foreign
policy Of the Harding and Wilson
administrations respectively are not
giving either President Harding or
Secretary Hughes much concern.
They feel they are pursuing differ
ent policy. To the taunts of the
Democratic press that the Harding
administration is reluctantly but
surely following in the steps of its
predecessor, Secretary Hughes has
just given a rather positive answer
he has announced that America
will not take part in the quarrel
over the possession Of upper Silesia.
This he considers q strictly Euro
pean affair.
The supporters Of the Wilson
regime. particularly those in con-
gress who have been very much
pleased by the American decision to
participate in the allied councils,
say this is q distinction without a
difference. They declare that
Messrs. Harding and Hughes are
assuming that the Wilson admin
istration would have agreed to the
use Of American troops and re-
sources in settling such Quarrels as
that In Silesia. OF this, 1t Is insisted
there is no proof-nothing except
