Y VHE trap-drummer In jazz orchestra, bang
ing cymbals with one hand, fourishing
rattle with the other, and footing a foghorn
with his lips, is just as savage Afrisn
voodoo worshipper And the people who delight
in these explosions of sound no better The jazz
drummer is shattering the nerves of his auditors
than he is their morals, and his auditors
are tamely submitting to the disintegration.
Such, at least, is the opinion Of the National
Recreation Congress- which, meeting recently in
Atlantic City, adopted resolutions condenlning
jazz as it is played today and urging the Anieri
can people to stop Jazz "stunts" more for phys
cal and spiritual than for moral reasons.
"As nation We are consuming unpaata-
BILE and decidedly unbalanced musical ration"
Prof. Peter W. Dykema of the University Of
Wisconsin, told the Recreation Congress. "We
are musically undernourished. America needs
good music as badlv Austria needs good food"
Prof. Dyke mas speech startled the Congress,
for he is considered one of Americas foremost
authorities on music. In suggesting crusade
against cowbeIls, horns, rattles and pistol shots,
Prof. Dykema dft not condemn jazz in toto.
Jazz music has a comparatively new rhyth-
mic arrangement Of tones" he said. at has a
piquancy and verve and stimulating quality
which form a real contribution to music The
objections to it are in the way it is used. 1t
is atrociousiy presented with drums, gongs,
cowbells, rattles raucous whistles and other
nerve-wracking devices that the musical element
is almost obliterated We need not listen.

And now TO provide more power for nerve
SCATTERING, manufacturers being called on for
bigger and bigger musical nstruments-violins
twice the height of girl and horns that take
three men to handle.
Prof Dygema's attack jazz "stunts" as
nerve-wrackers comes almost simultaneously with
another volley at jazz from distinguished New
York jurist, who in it an insidious influence
on American morals
"Jazz has worked its way into the life of our
city and given its inhabitants a misconception Of
the purpose of life and the sanctity Of marriage
vows" declared Judge Alexander Breugh, Of the
Probation court of New York, in recent inter-
view. at has put into the populace nervous
desire always to be doing something in a hurry.
That's why hundreds Of couples marry in haste
and repent the rest Of their lives
Where the Recreation Congress seeks to curb
Jazz because of its jangle on the nerves, where
Judge Brough depicts jazz as partly responsible
for the divorce evil, other authorities are
discovering that good music can be used

words:

OF course, the discovery of the influence of
music in other than esthetic realms is not
one. Since the days of Alexander the Great gen
erals have known1hat singing armies fought bet
ter than silent armies. Every evangelist from
Wesley to Billy Sunday has depended on music
to awaken the religious emotions Of his audience
Music has driven some men to murder and some
men to martyrdom
But not until recent years-and, in fact till
recent months--have medical men, business eff
cheney experts social workers, executives Of every
class begun to employ music systematically as a
force as powerful, in its way, as steam or steel
The movies were among the first to discover
its possibilities. When the violins played Mas

PRACTIChTLITY OF MAINTAIN
ING SUFFICIENT CURRENT.

Ht+o"Itg Oh current Is controlled
by slope, cross section and resistance.
y wares directly IS the square root
CT the slope, directly as the cross
section aid inversely as the resist
ance. Hence the greater the slope
and cross section the greater the
velocity and the greater the resist
Tnce the less the velocity. The rela-
tive resistance gets less as the
stream gets deeper because the per-
centage CT sides ard bottom exposed
to the friction of the water gets
less. For example, stream 100 feet
wide and ! foot deep, with square
SIDES and bottom Will have 1O2 feet
exposed to friction while stream
25 fea wide and four feet deep,
while having the same cross section.
viii have only 33 feet exposed to
friction, hence its velocity and car
rying capacity will be greater for
the same slope. For the above rea-
son the velocity Of the Mississippi
River is about four times as great
as the sarle slope would give TO
Bayou Teche. From Loreauville to
Morgan City by Bayou Teche is about
n miles, which win make the dis
tance from where the proposed car-
al will tap Bayou Portage about 50
miles. From the same point, down
me lakes to Morgan City is about
4S miles. A fall of 2 feet in 80
miles is q very trivial slope. The
velocity would be about a quarter of
q foot per second, IS feet a minute
or about mile in six hours. This

down further where the stream gets
larger, it would Of course be less.
However, it would be a current and
even if it were nile in IL hours
It would remove all the water in
bayou Teche in about 40 days, with
out assistance from rain.
Figuring this another way and
taking the average cross section at
low water at 200 feet wide and 7
feet deep from Loreauville to the
mouth of Bayou Teche, there will be
about 500 million cubic feet of wat
er. By Kutter's formula, / estimate
that, with a two foot head, $50 cubic
feet of water would enter BAYOU
Teche per second, through such
canal as we have outlined. This
would take 3S.5 days to replace 500
million cubic feet. These are of
course approximates, as they are
based upon premises which are not
very acsSrate. They serve however.
as a pretty s>od guide. In the past
2S years, the lowess yater at Mel
vile was recorded twice In Aneust,
four times in September, eight times
IN October, eleven times in Novem-
Der and three times in December, SO
we can expect the minimum of slope
and consequently volume to flow in
October and November. This is un-
fortunate because of the operations
IT the sugar houses at that time,
lowever, it must be remembered that

making begins which is not the case
low, and the pollution of the water
