But if Spelman, for example, is modern, what of Arthur Honeg- ger? Politeness, not unmixed' perhaps, with the horror of being considered a lowbrow, cautions diplomacy; but the remnants Of New England conscience forces the admission that "Le Gamer Romano" containing five short piano numbers, sounds like any thing but music. MT. Honegger is evidently on the outs with such simple old friends as the triads (common chords) as we haven't been able to discover one in any of these five pieces, although once or twice he comes within one note of it. There are moments when the composer seems to have mixed the right hand part of one piece with the left hand part Of another. Such numbers as these should be in the possession Of all young, ambition composers who still feel timid about writing strange sounding chords"

SECURITIES SCORE
 SUBSTA TANTIAL CAIN
Stocks Lster Lose Ground In Professional Selling

NEW YORK, June 7.Securities prices scored substantial recovery early this week in responseto elimination of legislative uncertainties, but stocks later lost. their gains as many shares were engulfed by a wave of profes- sional selling, based on disturbing trade developments. Cross currents in stock trading, however, provided con trasting features, railroad and public utilities shares maintaining q strong tone throughout the week while various steel, oil and sugar issues dipped to the. years lowest levels. Bond prices were lifted in q progressive upward movement, active United States gov ernment issues attaining new 1924 peak prices and in some instances establish ing new high records.
 Erratic fluctuations marked the course of trading in cotton futures Prices scared $5 a bale early in the week in response to the governments crop report, showing lowe- condition figures than had been expected but the advance was lost on a subsequent wave oi liquidation. Raw and refined sugar prices dropped to the lowest level in two years.
 Softening of money rates contributed to the strength of investment sceuri- ties. Call money established the low est renewal rate since June, 1922, in opening at 2% per cent and the pre- vailing rate on several successive days was 215 per cent. Time loans were contracted at rates as low as 3% per cent for the shorter accommodations.

In other words, Congress has in some ways gone further than the; sec retary would have gone.
 From a business viewpoint, one of the most important results of the pass ing and signing of the new bill is the removal of uncertainty.
 It has been the psychological effect of the many uncertainties rather than fundamental weaknesses which have confused business men and caused hesi tation. Now that the bonus and tax legislation is history, business and ii. nancial interests can proceed with a firmer step, knowing what they face in the way of tax burdens.
 Savings to individual taxpayers will in the aggregate, reach a stupendous figure-probably' at least $250, 100000 To this extent, therefore, the purchas. ing power of the people will be in creased.

nISREGARDING the merits or de-
 merits of the new income tax
 scheduled as compared with the rates. Suggested by Secretary Mellon, one fact stands out unmistakably. The revenue bill of 1924 is a decided i'm provement over the revenue act of 1921.
 The accompanying chart shows how a married man with no dependents other than his wife will fare. Men who fall under other classificatAns will benefit approximately.
 Briefly, there are three points which stand out in the new bill. First, fed eral taxes as a whole are scaled down to the lowest point since the start of the war; Second, a 25 per cent reduc- tion is effective on income taxes, pay able this year. Third, the main differ ence between the new law and the recommendations of Secretary Mellon is one of degree.
