Five 0ctaves.

Europe has discovered a singer with
a range of five octaves-a human voice
with a compass greater than that Of a
violin. While the news is interesting,
it Is difficult to see what bearing such
discovery will have on music as an
art.
Out of the millions of people in the
world it is not at all strange that, now
and then, here and there appears
some person with subaormal or suner-
normal vocal cords. There comes the
voice with a profound reach down
ward, and then the voice with a great
stretch upward, both judged by the SO.
called normal voice Of most people.
A voice that combines both reaches,
high and low. the vocal cords being
enabled to vibrate very slowly for the
extreme low tones and at an intensely
rapid rate for the extreme high notes,
is more unusual than either single ex.
treme.
Yet the really beautiful voices of
this or past generations have bean
thnse that were NntiFaly normal in the
pattsr q range. Perhaps some great

Motorists and Roadside Loot.

One Of the effects of wide-ranging
motoring for pleasure is a revival Of
the smaH-boy practice of raiding Or
chards and cornfields and melon
patches. Motoring parties, take toll
on the road in some parts of the coun-
try, after the fashion Of the young
sters Of other times who looked upon
a fence as something built to jump
and a grove of fruit trees as some
thing grown to loot. Farmers have
complained bitterly of this renewal of
poaching upon their preserves. but the
speed with which the looters get away
has rendered them helpless. Now.
however, there is some relief in sight
for them. A bill has been introduced
in the New York assembly which may
become the standard of legislative
retribution for this sort Of thing in
other states. It provides for the revoca
ton of the license of any motorist who
Is convicted Of stealing fruit or other
truck from places on the roadside. OF
course. it will still be necessary to
catch the pillager. and to convict him
Of the offense. But Identification is
not very difficult with the license tag
in sight, and conviction is possible If
the farmer has witness. If this bill
passes New York farmers may be ex-
pected to be strictly on guard ready to
make an example of the free-handed
motorists who believe that all that
grows along the way is theirs TOR the
taking. -

artist, but usually the latter was COM

|. After all, there is no particular
merit in being able to sing five octaves.
Even such a tremendous range is
small, compared to the considerably
larger number Of octaves comprised on
the piano. or other instrument of
mans manufacture. The great orches-
ira, with its tones ranging from the
bass viol to the flute, comprises in
finitely more octaves than any human
voice. n.
When it is considered that the soul
Of music is comprised In an octave,
that all musical structures are, built
upon this pattern, piled on top and
below, 1t is realized that Ave octaves
in one voice makes no difference. 1t
Is the beauty in one octave that
counts. F.-

Lenin and His Bill,

1t is all mistake, it would seem.
about the war having made the United
States the creditor nation of the world.
1t is Russia, according to Lenin, to
which all the world is, indebted, the
sum total overrunning the billions into
the trillions Of gold rubles. The thing
would not be so appalling If Moscow
had omitted the word gold" from the
specifications. Almost any old sum at
all could be paid off in paper rubles, at
their present value. without serious
embarrassment. Payment might tax
the er-manufacturing resources of
the debtor nations, but it would not
take from them much else in the way
of tangible property.
Lenin intends to take Russia s
claims to the conference at Genoa, and
there. after offsetting the comparative.
ly inconsequential claims Of other ma.
tions against Russia, ask that the bal.
ance be paid over to him cash ON the
counter. Then, 1t is to be assumed, he
will use this gold to buy all the things
Russia needs today and will need for
a couple or a dozen generations yet
to come, so that every moujik can
have a aivver and. live. a life Of ease.
Genoa give promises, indeed, of
being a merry place. Lenin is not the
only delegate who is likely to be there
with a packet Of proposals the open
ing of which will make conservative
minded folk gasp for breath. His ex'
pectation of collecting undreamed-of
quantities of gold from Europe and
America is wilder only in degree than
some Of the other expectations which
will be advanced in all seriousness at
the financial and economic conference
which Lloyd George believes will re
store sanity and normalcy to an upset
world.

An International Janitor for. the
Opeu Door, -s5

open U00r. se
In proposing board Of reference
to supervise tho application Of the.
principle of the open door in China
Secretary Hughes has gone. to the
heart of the problems OF China and
of the maintenance s6f peaee in the
far east. There has never been any
lack Of pious tribute to the Gpen nad3od d9oT
reaffirmation, it has already been re-
affirmed by the. conference, as Mr..
Balfour reminded Mr.. Hughes. The
aifficulty has been in dealing with
an open door which in practice has
been SO often found closed for re-
pairs or because of a death in the
family or for some other valid rea-
son. What Mr.. Hughes now proposes
is an International superintendent to
whom one, may appeal from the tani-
'oF Friction i on bstMssa j national interests

friction is often the name for COM
petition in the International sphere.
The need is for machinery on the
spot to deal with SPECIFIC causes Of
Of them. Mr.. Hughes spoke Of CON
cessions" in connection with his pro-
posed board of references; but eco
romic conflict in China arises prob
ably as often from determinations
practiced against Individual enter
prises as from friction between rival

President Harding to the Farmers.

President Harding's address yester.
day at the opening of the agricultural
conference stressed the fact that the
problems Of the farmer are the prob
lens Of all the people. and that it will
be to the benefit of all to bring about
permanent betterment in the condi-
tions Of agricultural production. He Is
on record as opposing class favoritism
Of all kinds, and there was no class
appeal in his talk to the farmers.
Two fundamentals to a better, agri-
culture were pointed out by the Presi.
dent. One is better credit facilities for
working capital, and the other better
marketing conditions. The federal
farm loan system. the President OBJ
served, while it has made easier con-
ditions upon which plant capital may
be obtained. has brought no relief to
the farmer in the matter Of short-term
loans, and the business of crop pro-
duction cannot be put upon an equita-
BILE and sound basis until credit is ex-
| tended the farmer upon as advan-
tageous terms as it is extended the
merchant and manufacturer. AS thir-
ty, or sixty, or even ninety day loans
are Of little use to business in which
the turnover is made but once a year
two and three years, obviously the
financing of agricultural needs is not a
business for banks Of deposit. Mr..
Harding plainly Indicated that agricul-
ture needs banking system fashioned
to meet its peculiar requirements. and
the inference is that the administra-
ton stands ready to support, or at
least to sanction, the creation of such
a system.
AS a step toward better marketing
methods the President cited the sue
cess which has attended cooperative
marketing in this and other countries,
and spoke also Of the benefits which
have come from cooperative buying.
should not stand in the way Of CO
operative marketing on large scale:
but, while he did not go into that
phase of the problem, 1t is to be as
sumed that he would not fail to. have
erected proper safeguards against
monopoly and the possibilities Of ex-
tortion. 1t has been demonstrated that
co-opa-s tive marketing. is good, but
like many other good things there are
Inherent in it the possibilities Of abuse.
The farmer has not had square deal,
and the President wants him to have
one. But in order to give it he has not,
of course, any notion Of sanctioning
upon the farmer for the necessities of
life.

The Supply Bills.

The House leaders, it is announced,
"expect to send all of the annual ap-
preparation bills to the Senate before
April l." An allowance Of two months,
and one of the months the shortest in
the calendar.
The supplies voted at this session
are going to be examined by the coun-
try closely land figure prominently in
the congressional campaigns.
The pledge Of economy upon which
the republicans stand will be tested by
these bills. The whole country will be
Missouri this year. Voters everywhere
will demand to be shown.
There will be two questions: How
much has been appropriated? and does
the sum cover the needs Of the govern
ment properly operated?
Congress cannot afford to make a
front" for campaign purposes. To
put the government in its essential
functionings on short commons would
be neither good business nor good
politics. Uncle Sans establishment
has grown to large proportions, and
cannot with safety to public interests
be skimped. r.
June Is the adjournment objective.
Let us suppose the House leaders sue
cessful, and all the supply bills in the
hands Of the Senate by April i. The
Senate then will be allowed two
months in which to dispose Of the
bills. Is the time sufficient? In revis-
ing House work, the Senate sometimes
makes radical changes and increases
the labors Of conference committees.
