Mr.. Eastman's schol of music in the
University of Rochester brings to the
city and to the students of music the
best musicians of the world, and pro-
vides musical genius with a magnific-
icent setting in a beautiful opera
house, given to the city by Mr.. East
man and paying financial profit to
no one.
Young people from all over the Uni
ted States win scholarships that give
them free teaching and $1,000 a year

Thus, one mans success finds ex-

Thanks to Mr.. Eastman of Roch-
ester, and the wide. wide world, this
country sees efficient and thorough
development of musical talent
To help a nation in music is to help
it Intellectually. Music and intellect
are sisters. Music arouses the brain
refreshes and stimulates it, as moth
ing else can do. Music is the only
stimulant that has no "next day" OF
let down and reaction.

Carnovan's brother is dead, more
food for superstition. The other Car
narvon, who dug in the tomb of Tut
ankhamen, died naturally. Some in
sect bite produced blood poisoning.
The Carnarvon brother said, when
his brother opened the tomb, "Some-
thing dreadful will surely happen to
our family" He died naturally, like
his brother, from complications fol-
lowing an operation. Still the super
stitious will believe that a Pharaoh
turned to dust, reaches out with his
curse through thirty-five hundred OF

There's a plan to simplify the coal
problem. Railroads won't like it-no
more coal to carry. Middlemen VIII
detest it.
The idea is to change coal into elec-
trio current at the mine.
Electricity carries itself over the
wires, no humping IF freight cars. no
flat wheels, no loading and unloading
Instead of buying coal, changing it in
to power and heat five hundred or a
thousand miles from the mine, skilled
labor at the mines would change coal
into electricity to be used for heat
light, power, wherever wanted. That
will come in time.
1t ought to come now.

BUSINESS BOON
HERE, ASSERT
BANKERS I
Federal Reserve Governors See
Biggest Turnover in
Five Years
By w. H. ATKINS,
international News Service.

Governors of the twelve Federal
Reserve Banks, in the wake Of
their annual conference with re-
serve board officials here, agreed
today that business boom IS in
progress throughout the United
States.
Demand for credit at banks re-
fleets tremendous business growth.
they asserted. Soundness Of the
country's financial system and the
ability to. meet all demands for
legitimate credit was vouched for
by all the bank heads.
Governor Harding, of the Boston
Federal Reserve Bank, was optimis
tic in forecasts Of the business out
look. He believed the present year
will be the best American business
has had since the war. Other Fed
eral Reserve bank governors agreed
with him that the year will show
the biggest turnover in productive
output for five years. Governor
Harding was particularly impressed
with the enlarged scope of business
for the great textile industries of
New England. World demand is
increasing at a rapid rate, accord
ing to Governor Harding, and
American producers are being re-
lied upon to supply the needs.
Borrowing from banks for COM
nercial purposes is steadily in
creasing, the reports showed. The
volume of goods being produced
and marketed, and the sources Of
demand for these goods, is taken
by these financial observers to- be
a keen indication of the commercial
trend. The trend of production is
constantly upward. Business is re-
covering very consistently from the
depression which was in evidence
earlier, and the liquidation has been
along sound lines.
The Federal bank governors note
as one Of the most hopeful sign Of
the times the absence of industrial
disturbances. Lack of serious in
dustriaf disputes has given q more
hopeful tone to the entire financial
structure. Business is proceeding
along better lines, they predicted,
because there is less danger of stop
page of industrial activity, due
partly to the Governments success
full handling of recent labor dis
turbances. The future. thereto.
looks better to business because
money is plentiful aand labor ID
abundant and better satisfied ac-
cording to these financial observers.

Court today by the Pittsburgh and
West Virginia Railroad Company
and the West Side Belt Railroad
Company of Pennsylvania, which
seeks an injunction to prevent the
enforcement of penalties provided
under the transportation act of
1920. should they carry out am
agreement to consolidate.
The Commission has refused to
approve the merger, and to per-
NIT the issuance of the necessary
securities. The plaintiffs declare
the section of the transportation
act under which the Commission
acted is unconstitutional in that
it attempts to regulate corporate
rights given under the authority of
the States. Plaintiffs ask that the
Attorney General he prevented
from arresting any of the officers
of the corpora tionS for carrying
out the merger"

NEW YORK, March 27.-Prices
showed some Improvement in the

was encountered Immediately from
the outset, which led to consider
able covering by bear operators.
1t was felt that too much stress
was laid upon the consequences of
the deliberations of the Federal

regard to rediscount rates. Profes-

with little success.
Steel stocks displayed firmness
throughout the. session in connec-
ton with reports of further price
advances in the industry. United

to 1865 and fractional advances
were registered by Republic Steel
at so and Gulf States Steel at

rising two points to 81, but react

announced. Quiet accumulation
went on in other leading petroleum
