KANSAS CITY, Mo-, June T.
Jazz music Is to be run from another
stronghold-the church-if Mrs.
Grace Wiedney Mabee, chairman
of the church music OF the National
Federation Of Music Clubs, has her
way.
Mrs. Mabee has organized the
church musicians of Kansas City
into a body to work for the general
uplift Of church music. She re.
Gently stopped in Kansas City on
her way to the convention Of the
National Federation OF Music Clubs
at Asheville, ". C. Her home is in
Los Angeles.
1.-THE jazz melodies used In 30
many of our Sunday schools and
churches are an abomination, said
Mrs, Mabee. She also condemned
the popular hymns Of the Billy Sun
day type.
'That kind of music is not going
to hold the young people in the
church," she said. ut already has
failed at doing this"
Mrs. Mabee made a plea for the
Sunday schools and churches to go
back to the hymns Of Bach, Handel
and Beethoven.
Better music will bring better
persons to the church." she de-
clared. "The music service Is of
as much spiritual importance as is
the sermon. The trouble is that too
many ministers don't know good
music. They sing the same ten or
twelve hymns throughout the year"
Mrs. Mabee said the church mem
bers should become familiar with
the fine old hymns Of Luther's day
and then they would learn to enjoy
them. Her plans for improving
church music include:
A compulsory music course in
divinity schools.
:. The organization OF the church
musicians in every city.
The establishment Of music libra
rtee in churches.
The opening of church bureaus
with which singers could enroll.

is now lying in about ESQ feet OF
water at q spot fifteen miles from
'The coast is ver9 rugged" says
Count Landi, land exposed to all
the worst elements. This makes
salvage operations all the harder, but
we have great hopes OF raising the
gold.
Accounts of the amount Of bull
lion carried by the Lusitania vary
from SIS, 75O, 900 to $25, 600, 900, but we
understand the actual figure is about
5000, 000."

Fitted with three separately built
