the man in the fable who had to cross
the river with the fox, the goose and
the corn. But Joseph G. Smith knows
the answer. Here he has the perfect
dance tempo--the time that suits them
all.
There seems to be no limit. to the
things Paul Whiteman can dc. with
a modern orchestra. He can take m
strumental combinations that by all the
accepted laws of things ought TO sound
like a musical ZOO at feeding time, can
make a fox trot of them, and set
whole continent dancing to the result.
Underneath Hawaiian Skies" is one
of the most daringly beautiful things
he has done, while Sip. SIP, Sippy
Shore"-Medley One Step, is dashing,

ton.
All for You-EIappin"s also By
Paul Whiteman and His Orchestra, is
twelve whole inches Of delirious fox
frot, sometimes soft and dreamy, with
floating, seductive melodies, and again
thrilled with the masculine strength of
the horns. The All Star Trio and
Their Orchestra play "Moonbearns---
Pining"-Medley Fox Trot, in which
the brasses seem fairly to root tor Joy,
while the xyloplonc trickles ike q
silver brook in the tonal landscape.
The All Star Trio, specialists III JOY,
have taken to writing their own records.
"Teach Me"-Fox Trot is by George
Hamilton Green, the xylophonisf. and
Victor Arden, the pianist, wrote Round
the Town." Wadsworth's big saXo-

brother along the side lines.
"Fl Relicario" is probably the most
popular song in Latin America today
Though not exactly 4 dance as the
Blue and White Marirnba Band plays
it, its swift time makes you feel like
dancing. 1t is the story of fallen
torreador played in thrilling, icy
tremolo. Ferera and Franchini when
you turn the record over, give you
something easily danced to--"Hawaiian
Waltz" suaveiy beautiful, quivering all
through with the Island Wall.
If these records interest you, and
there. are few people indeed who can-
not ind pleasure in some part OF this
fascinating musical array, any Victor
dealer. viii be only too glad to play
them Tor you without obligation on your
part even though you are not the fog

Songs Of Sentiment Sung by
Lambert Murphy

Darling" the magic word which has
caused many heart to throb and
fiutter, is the name of one of Lambert
Murphy's songs on his new Victor
Record for June. In its lovely melodies
the word of sweet emotions seems to
open new worlds of beauty. Many
colorcd orchestral harmonies surround.

voice in which this delightfully."- roman

Time" is even more intensely interest

garden lilacs in springtime, when the
air is filled with the sense of beautiful
yet unspoken things. Alter an inter.
Jude for the oboe, with the violin and
with bells, the voice returns at the
close to a fine climax.
How sincere tribute to mother
hood sounds when sung by mems
voicesi Somebody's Mother" gives
the Peerless Quartet full advantage of
the tender theme. A lonely pathetic
figure in the city street, seeking the one
face that will mean for her brief
span of life before life comes to an
end. forms the central figure of the
song. Il Found Rose in the Devils
Garden" a song of unusual beauty by
the Sterling Trio, occupies the other
side of this Victor Record.
Returning to the subject of moth ers.
Henry Burr sings MY Mothers Eve
ming Prayer" smooth melody with
a violin obbligato-such strain as
might creep through and tranquillize
the mind in the silent act of prayer.
Now l Lay Me Down to Sleep" is an
equally touching and simple number.

Shaw follow one another closely

beauty.

JUDGE CHARLS b. HOWRY
WRITES FROM WASHINGTO'

Mrs. A. F. Galloway,
Oxford, Miss.
Dear Madam:
Reading your recently published APP
peal for funds to repair and put in
order the Oxford Camp Ground | en-
close to you my cheque for ten dol
lars.
SO many charities in this city alb
sorb about all most of US are able to
give their variety and number compel
the willing and charitable givers
sometimes to be sorely troubled in
their inability to respond. For such
reasons | do my own giving in my
own way quietly and trust effectively
for the purpose in hand and usually
look for no reward beyond the prompt
ings of my own heart in doing what !
can for the distressed So, an acknow-
Judgement only is all that is neces-
sary of the little amount | am trans
hitting to you.
The dear old camp ground set
among my native hills fingers in the
memory of my early days as the spot
where were gathered our forefathers
who, as you so feelingly say, "blazed
the trail" and led their children to
the shade of the trees which surround
the spot. There was not so much
eloquence there in my day and time
but the true Word was preached and
the spirit engendered there YVES for
the better, from what he heard, as
citizens and moral people.
Many who went with me to the
dear old spot have passed on but some
it may be are bearing life's burdens
yet | wish | could see all who have
lived. Some time hope to look up
on scenes of those days once again
and to rejoice that all goes we'll to
those blessed with health and life.
Accept my good wishes. l have
read much you have written for the
home paper and always with interest,
though I am a thousand miles away.
Sincerely yours,
CHARLES B. HOWRY.

Leopold Stokowski has chosen this
month for the Philadelphia Orchestra's
Victor Record "The Ride of the Valky-
1ies" from Die Wa1kure." 1t was an
old Morse belief that after a battle the
daughters of Wotan came riding
through the stormy sky to carry the
dying heroes to Valhalla.. Nothing IN
al modern music equals the over
whelrning deluge of sound which bears
along the theme of this mythical ride.
The orchestra interprets it with power

Speaking of the possibilities of the
Muscle Shoals proposition in Ala
bama, Thomas A. Edison, the wizard
of Menlo park, has this to say about
the future of the farmer:
Ford has another idea-that of
using the farm worker in the factory.
He does not think man should spend
more than thirty days year on a
farm, with present machinery and
fertilizer. The rest of the time he
could put in at factory work. If Mr..
Ford wins the Muscle Shoals plant he
viii use the farm laborers of that sec
ton in his factories in this fashion.
Thus Mr.. Ford has a vision of the
Tennessee River valley as second
River Rhine when teeming with traf-
iic and with factories lining its banks.
In addition it will furnish the energy
for countless industries ranging all
the way from fertilizer to alum
inum."

Discordant grew the notes in life's

The things which in the past delight

Beneath its beauty lay its filth and

The magic cleanser for the filth and

Where | had known the JOY OF

And thought SO little cleaner was the
