Hits From Shoulder

Coolidge's messages TO Congress
have been splendid documents. They
are not as polished, as perfect. as
those Of Woodrow Wilson, in the
opinion OF many. but they hit from
the shoulder and they are never
open to misinterpretation.
In speeches at various times. he
has given expression to some pithy
phrases and ideas, some of which
have almost become American cpl
grams.
1.-THE people want a government of
common sense" he said recently.
Just before his reelection as Gov
ernor and after the Boston police
strike, he said:
THE conduct of public affairs is
not a game. Responsible Office does
not go to the crafty. Governments

every president leaves
I'M behind him a trail of words
of wisdom, little gems of
truth that weld themselves into our
national consciousness. President
Calvin Coolidge is no exception
He has always, since his gradual
ing year from Amherst College. in
1895. been a speaker Of ability. His
voice is not compelling. 1t is Of a
rather high, nasal sound. But his
words ring true and hold the
listener. In that sense, Calvin Cool
idge is an orator of the highest type.
There Is no right to strike
against the public safety by any
body. anywhere, any time"
When, as Governor Of Massachu-
sets. he wrote those words to Sam
uel Gompers. he definitely put him
self before the American people.

for two shows of "The Beauty and

their share of praise, and the feat

its five reels ended all too soon.
The local committee is so delighted
with its success that it expects to
put on the films again for three
or four day run in cooperation with
other friendly labor organizations.
A feature of the showing was a
collection of $345.1s for the benefit
Of the Paterson Silk strikers. The
proceeds of the show will be about
thousand dollars.
Alex Bail, the able secretary Of
the Philadelphia committee for In

Old Compositions
Jazzed up to Suit
the Popular Taste
BY ALFRED v. FRANKENsTEIN.

Paul Whitman, the emperor of jazz,
gave a concert of jazz music at the
Studebaker theater last Sunday. He
opened his program with a compost
ton played by the small five-piece
dance orchestra of six years ago,
showing what foolish, insipid effect
the quintet of blaring noise makes.
Then came Whitman's orchestra of
today. Some thirty instrumentalists
played over forty instruments. He
showed how well-known standard COM
positions can be turned into comedy
numbers thru burlesquing them, 1.-THE
Carnival of Venice" turned into $50
This Is Venice" and into good dance
pieces by speeding up the rhythm.
There were a good many straight
dance numbers, and few compost
tions written expressly for Whitman.
The technique of the orchestra is
astounding. One of the performers,
Ross German, seems to play all reed
instruments. Clarinets, saxophones,
oboes, English horns and a few out
Iandish instruments such as the oc-
tavin, the all but obsolete bass oboe,
and queer machine that looks like
cross between a saxophone and
sarrusophone, and sounds like a cow
with a cold, have no terrors for him.
lie gets around them all, and seems
to play them all at once. The eff
of. fr. he hre0cs .etfr rarafu
duced by various freak mutes range
all the way from bull frog grunts to
a finely spun out, silky violin like
tone.
In short, the conclusion to draw
from Whitman's concert is that while
the rendition of jazz music is one of
the finest Of fine arts, the composition
of it is a trade. After two hours Of
the popular songs of commerce, one
has the sensation Of being bathed in
sugar up to the neck. There is no
originality of invention in them. and
the form is absolute and unvariable.
Whitman's orchestra is as perfect an
instrument as Frederick Stocks, but
where Stock has an unlimited field

Early Filing Of Applications Is

The Veterans Bureau at Washing ton, D.. C., is ready and anxious to fv- ceive all applications for adjusted com pensatioh for World war service as soon as possible. Announcements of this was made Thursday by Corporal George B. Stevens, of the local recruit ing service. a..
 Veterans who have not applied for adjusted compensation will be expected to do so at once. This will assist the bureau in issuing the certificates earlier and also cash payments to those who have cash payments due them.
 It will be of interest to both the de- partment at the veterans to act imme- diately, stated Corporal Stevens, par ticularly the veterans, since if death occur prior to the filing of applica- tion, the defendant would receive only one-third the amount that he or she would receive had the veteran made an application before death and named the dependent as beneficiary.

 TO5FLOGGERS
Neglect Of His Family Is Charged To
 Hurd

Fairfield police were without fresh clues to the Kidnapping and-flogging of Lawrence Hurd, aged 30, which oc- cured near Edgewater SMonday night. Chief of Police A. A. Anthony said that he was exerting every possible effort to ascertain the identity of the five men who carried Hurd in an automobile seven miles from home and administered the flogging.
 No motive has been given for the affair, other than statements accred- ited to Mrs. Hurd, who is reported to have charged that her husband had neg lected her and their three children. She is also quoted as saying that Hurd was inclined to spend his nights away from home, which conduct was known to quite large number of persons, she said
 ihe condition of the victim was re- ported improved Thursday and it was stated that he would probably return to h.L work at the Fairfield plant of the Tennessee company Friday. Hurd has resided in Fairfield only two months, having been a resident of Bes- semer for a number of years. It is stated that inquiries are being made in the latter city by the police in theif effort to unravel the mystery of the five floggers.
