MUSIC THE KEY TO HAPPY HOME
Well Known Writer Says Mothers Should Teach Chil- dren Music Same Household Duties
 Would Elevate Family Life

New York, August 26.-This gener- ation is being brought up on trashy music and degrading words, accord ing to Harriet A. Seymour, who says America is on the lowest rung of the ladder in popular songs. Mrs. seymour lays the blame for this con o1tlon at the door Of Amerlcan equipped to supply wholesome music in the home and thus prevent their children from picking up the unwhole- some in the streets.
 System" by which music is taught from the inside out, instead of from the outside in, is launching a move ment to make American wives and mothers realize that music IS as much part of their home-mak1ng equip ment as cooking and sewing, working upon the principle laid down Tn her recent book, What Muslc Can DO TOT or First, listening, then thinking, and then action.
 Look over the titles of the popu-
 lar music on any counter and com pare them with folk music, which is 1 always about the simple Joys or home and human relationships, sa1d Mrs Seymour. Because we always get
 wrong thing where no right thing
 is, every mother should be able to play simple songs for her children Music Makes Happy Home. "If a mother understands the value of music and has the right equipment she can be a tremendous factor for simple happiness and unity in the
 home. And she doesn't have to be
 nusica11y talented to do this Any girl, by learning music from the in
 side out, could read simple songs, folk
 music, ballads, etc., in year or two. She could pick out a tune gwen by the children and harmonlze it, and put any song into another key with out having a fit over it.
 Why do people desert the home, always looking for some place to go :? Because there is nothing to keep them there. A tired husband comes home from business, having made up his

New York, August 26-That New Workers will hear the voices of Lon doners by wireless telephone within two years is the prophecy of William Dubilier, known as the Edison of radio" who as a schoolboy in the Ghetto here began the study of wire less with the help of Marconi, and has since become a leader in its develop ment, with foreign governments bid ding for his services and patents.
 MT. Dubilier recently returned from a business trip to Germany, France and England While in London he established a European agency. He found those countries giving much attention to the ad, vancement of wireless phones, and with the great corporations here and in Europe investing brains and money, Dubilier believes radio de- velopments dormant since the be- ginning of the war will progress until talking by air will be as com mon as everyday land telephoning. =
 Within two years" he said, "l believe this country will have per- fected the wireless to such a de- gree that the business man going abroad will rise in the morning aboard the liner, step to the ordi- nary telephone Instrument and readily converse with associates in New York.
 ''The day is not far off when the man on land or sea will talk with the pilot of an airplane above or submarine below the water.
 The condenser produced longer and stronger wave currents an amaz- ed the Germans. With the stronger condenser, and other parts of the wireless phone being perfected, talk ing across the Atlantic will be not un- common in two years
 ''Cros-country wireless telephony has been achieved already and we only need what you might call a lit tie touching up'' here and there." Made Rapid Rise. -. The rapid progress in wireless tel ephony is in itself amazing. but the career of Dubilier from an Italia n schoolboy to a position where leading governm entS demand his services reads even more thrilling than any thing Horatio Alger could have pen ned.
 In 1909, when Dubi1ier was only twenty-one years old, he was called to the czar's palace in Russia, to in stall a powerful wireless set, which during the war caused a sensation when the allies discovered the Rus sians communicating with radio sta tions in Germany.
 At the time the Italian youth was offered a $1,000,0 900 contract to erect numerous stations throughout Russia. but because of lack of capital was
 unable to accept. Since then Dubil- | fer has made fortune. In his 'ttwenties'' he was earning an average of between 25.00O and 30.000 a year.

He stretches out upon the couch to rest few moments Now, if his wife, in- stead of beating out a rhapsody, would begin to play a soft and soothing bal lad, or some gay folk dances the realizing it, become interested, his nerves would become quieted, and he would most likely decide to spend a restfu1 evening at home.
 Language All Love.
 "A mother who is equipped can either by playing herself or by malz- ing singing one of the natural activi- ties of the home. She will in that way not only add to her children's health and happiness, but will draw in the neighbors' children, and a state effort. In what better way can we all bring harmony into our lives than through music, the language that every one loves?"
 Mrs. Seymour was asked how those who have learned music in the old way may conform to the system set forth in her book.
 '.They must go back and change their process by starting with listen ing rather than playing" she an swered, although they do not lose a thing they have gained in the old way. Of course, when my term 're-educa- tion' is applied to those who have had no musical education at all, it simply means a higher approach to life and a different attitude about music, us ing music for development instead of purely for performance.
 s.As soon as music from within out becomes an established fact in Amer ica we will have a better output of popular songs, because the public will demand it.

Dubilier, Known as t'Edison of Radio Predicts Such Service Will Be Realized in Two Years.

When fifteen and attending school on the east side Dubilier picked up book on wireless work. He read the first few pages and took it home. He stayed up all night reading the more than 300 pages, and the next day learned to author of the book was to lecture at the school that night. The author and lecturer was Mar conf.

 'HThat night" he said, '.the attend ants thought I would only cause mis- chief, and would not allow me into the hall. When one was not look ing. though. I squirned in behind some people and sat in the front row. Marconi fascinated me. I took in every word. When he finished and the audience left I stayed, staring at his instruments, with which he had been experimenting, and he told me it was too late for little boys to be out at night.
 "I hung around, pleading to help pack his instruments, but he told me the best way to help him would be let me carry his luggage to his hotel I followed him during the next five or six lectures until he began to take an interest in me.
 The greatest moment in my life was the night Marconi called me on the stage during an experiment. and instructed me to apreSS the electric button, extinguishing the lights Then
  | months later I delivered less import ant lectures for Marconi.
 'T was at that time working after school and attending lectures al l night.

NOT A PRIMRosE PATH.

In educating officers for the navy the Annapolis
academy has developed a system of its own and the
course is not lined with educational pink rosebuds
nor padded with perfumed pink cotton to smooth the
bumps. The Philadelphia Ledger speaking of it says:
'The senate finds itself exercised about the teach
ing Attachments and methods Of the faculty OF the
United States naval academy. 1t appears that GER
tain midshipmen have not found a royal road to learn
ing at Annapolis.
"The navy has its own way of educating its officers;
anG the results, for generations, have justified the
methods. In the MEANWHILE, school men generally,
with the exception of pedagogical fluffs' and believers
in the free-verse and cafeteria style of education, have
htld a very high opinion of both service schools.
1T is alleged, charged, set forth and stated by the
dismissed midshipmen that the teaching staff at An
napolis does not know its subjects. That is uncon-
vincing. The officers detailed as instructors are not
called on to teach anything they did not study and
pass in their academy days. The navy teachers prob
ably hold that if the student officer can't take what
lis before him he will be very little use to the navy.
The 'spoon-feeding' and examining that is common
enough in many schools is not followed at Annapolis.
Therefore the midshipman is made to sweat his brains.
"The navy knows what it wants. 1t knows much
better than any other group. 1t has its own way of
getting the officer material that makes a navy. That
way may look cold and remorseless to the sentimental
ly directed school system. The midshipman is under
close observation and there is more observed than his
progress through textbooks. They are trying to de-
velop men and leaders at Annapolis.
"In the naval academy they do not set the student
acquiring his training by a course in educational mo-
ton pictures, raffia work, pretty blocks and home
dressmaking. The Montessori method hasn't much of
a vogue at Annapolis"

HARBoRs NO ILL FEELING.

Barron's Magazine, one of the leading English pub
locations, writing on the subject Of British and Amer
ocean says:
There are only two classes Of Britishers who are
definitely ~anti-American. and they are loud takers of
the drinking saloons and the supercilious idlers of the
all Mall clubs These two elasses-the drees and the
froth of British society, are fond of. being heard scott
ing at America; but both classes are small in number
and still smaller in influence.
Fully four-fifths of the British people are keenly
interested in the United States, and often express a
wish 10 pay il a visit.
ITEMS of thousands have already done so, and have
returned full of wonder and appreciation at what they
have seen.
There is no prejudice against American goods.
American typewriters, adding machines, watches,
lathes and motor cars are everywhere.
The leading merchant in Britain is, without doubt,
Mr.. Selfridge, who has never renowned a jot or title
of his Americansm. He is now living in Lansdowne
house and has become one of the best known person.
n,ities of London
THE manager of the Daily Mail-the dominant
English newspaper, is an American named Pomeroy
burton. The only woman member of parliament is
Lady Aston, who was born in Virginia; and the prin-
cipal business magazine in England is owned by n man
in Chicago.
"At the moment there are nine American plays run
ming at the London theaters. The novel of the week
is Main Street; and as for the moving picture houses,
fully four out o. five are showing American films.
There is very little spoken criticism of America, as
the British are not a people Of easy and fluent speech.
There is a far greater respect for Americans than
there was before the war-of that there can be no
question. -
1.-THE man in the street is not likely to forget that
the American army was a help in time of need-in
the sorest time of need that this war-bitten old land
ever knew.
Few Britishers understand the ms and outs of
American politics, but Their, is a general sense of sat
isfaction that Wilson has passed into private life,
from which, in the opinion Of Britisheis, he should
never have emerged"

NOT I'M LAUNDRY BUSINESS.

Barney Baruch, one of the dolar-a-year experts,
who was a financial adviser to the Wilson govern
ment and in possession of all secret and valuable in
formation likely to affect the stock market, now
charged with having cleaned up tidy sums on copper
sold to the government, desires a vindication at the
hands of congress. He says & lot of cruel, heartless
lies have been told about him, and he wants the
tongues of his traducers stiled. "Shoot me if l am
guilty" says the noble Barney, but prove me limo
cent and shoot the liars first That is his choice e
plans.
If congress or any other authority undertook to
clear the record of all the ~grafters attached to the
Wilson administration during the war period, as they
desire it done, the supply of whitewash would not hold
out The sins committed in the name of patriotism
are going to be forgotten, buried with all the other
mistakes of an inefficient and helpless administra-
ton, that had its head in the clouds and gave no
thought to the business of government
Birds like Baruch should be content SO long as no
one else complains. If their moral character has been
soiled, it will have to remain in that condition until
they themselves supply the proof of purity. Congress
is not running a dry cleaning establishment

AN OLD PROBLEM.

One of the problems that has occupied students
and experts for many generations has been to make a
dollar stay put. It has never been solved, but one day
it may be hit upon and then we can scratch a very
important trouble of our list Of things that bother the
earth The Detroit Free Press notes:
"a conference is to be held in Washington soon for
the purpose of forming a stable money league which
a dollar will always have substantially the same pur-
chasing power.
Whenever one hears of a new movement to tinker
with the currency, the impulse is to inquire what par
ticular set of cranks is behind it, but such an inquiry
in this case would reveal the fact that the promoters
of the new organization are mostly college presidents,
bankers, economists, business men and politicians of
the conservative type. Alton B. Parker, Frank o.
Lowden, Prof. Jeremiah Jerks and Prof. Irving Fish
er are fair samples of the lot. From such men. one
may expect intelligent discussion and possibly, in time
a new attack upon the old problem of how to make
an ideal currency.
"Many thousands of people who would have viewed
this movement a few years ago as of no interest ex-
cept to economic theorists will consider it now with a
keen understanding Of its significance to them. Be-
fore the war they realized vaguely or not at all. that
the price of money may be said to go up and down in
price of goods goes up and down in terms of money.
Now they know from recent and bitter. experience
that the buying power of a dollar may wane until it
is no better than SO cents had been a little while be-
fore.
"If the gentlemen who are planning this new at
tack upon that ancient evil should succeed in getting
before the public with any remedy that appears to be
worth trying while memory of the general rise in
prices due to war remains fresh, it is safe TO PROMISE
a large following among those who paid but found no
field for profiteering."
