WHAT WE ARE COMING
TO IN MTSIC

Of a concert of the International Composers Guild, a body of ultra modern futurists, Oline Downes, the critic Of the New York Times, delivered himself of the following in connection yith one of the num- bers.
 Much more exciting was the music of Carl Ruggles, who bobs up serenely each season with a new piece more discordant and more ingenious in its torture of the cortiCal centres than the last one. Mir. Ruggles, in his Men and Mountains,' leaps upon the listener with a yell. There is a wild shriek of the brass choir, and thereafter no rest for the wicked. ." No one slept, either, during or after the con- cert, for there is Ruggles con- tingent, and a determined one. They applauded in phalanxes, while others kept silent, or groaned. This was, indeed, one of the most entertaining mo- ments of the evening"
 Yet all this tin-can effect, de- rived from principles of dissonance that are no longer new or novel. has begun to pail upon the ears. Con- tinues the critic;
 Truth compels the statement that most Of the music last night seemed glibly dissonant, with out true Chara cter or ideas. and therefore just as monotonous and little uglier than the pro- cedure Of the old opera writers who wrote vanid melodies to text which rhymed 'amore' with
 dolore'."
 The crux Of the situation, how ever. vas described by the same critic in relation to another concert, that of Ely Ney in a piano recital. The pianist played, among other numbers. g sonata hy Brahms and Appassionata sonata by Beethoven

That patriotism In time Of peace de-
mands equal valor and equal sacrifices
as does patriotism in war, was the dec
laration of Rev. Ralph +. Lowe, pastor
of the Green Street Methodist church,
in an eloquent and able address deliv-
cred at the memorial service held IN
the church Sunday evening for the
members of the Grand Army of the Re-
public, the American Legion. the Sons
Of Veterans and allied auxiliary organ
izations.
Linking patriotism and religion, Rev.
Mr.. Lowe said I'VE find no real be-
levers in God who would destroy the
Stars and Stripes"
All the churches Of the city united
in the memorial service Of last evening
and the large number of people in at
tendance filled the church auditorium
and the gallery was utilized to scat all
who came to join with the venerable
veterans OF 81, who occupied :he seats
of honor in the front central section Of
the church. Besides the members Of
Seth Williams Post, No. 10, G. A. r.,
there was a good representation from
James Fitzgerald Post, No. 2, American
Legion, and Henry q. Staples Camp,
Sons of Veterans, who acted as escort
for the comrades OF the G. A. r. Mem
bers of the several allied orsanizG, ions

cordingly offered to the student SUBJ
uniting the winning sketch of a COM
plete seal and Madeline Turner and
Manson Gordon each submitted seals
that were particularly fine. 1t was
decided that while neither in itself
was ideal, a combination Of the two
would be just what was desired and
they were accordingly asked to COM
b.ne the better points of their seals
into one, which was done with the
best results.
A prize was later offered for the
best name for the Cony Year book
and this was one by Burleigh Boyd
who submitted the name, "Confad."
Fine blankets of red, with large

Guiding the activities of the stu
dent body. encouraging the students
to use their talents for the good of
the school and helping in every way
to make Cony High the fine school
that It Is, the Student Council,
which is composed of representatives
Of all four classes together with the
principal Of the school and the ath-
letic coach is doing a wonderful
work.
The representatives to the council
from the Sophomrc. Junior and Sen
Tor classes are elected by the classes
themselves and there are two girls
and two boys from each class. This
group then names the representa-
tives from the Freshman class.
Among the achievements OF the
Cony Student Council this year the
one which perhaps stands out SIS the
biggest was that of providing a
skating rink on Williams field dur
ing the winter, which was used not
only by the students of the school
but also by the gerteral public. This
rink was one of the finest in the State
and was in an ideal location, so that
all might have easy access to it. e,
Another project which they under
took and which was carried through
with complete success was to provide
the school with suitable seal, one
which might be used upon stationary

Automobile Stolen
From po0ryard of
Campbell Home

A nervy thief wearing light coat,
calmy rolled Ford touring car, Ii
cense number S022. from the drive
way of the house owned by Don
Campbell of Patterson street, about
1.30 Sunday morning, and drove the
car away. Two men passing at that
time saw him In the act Of rolling the
car but thought that 1t was Mr..
Campbell and SO raised no alarm.
Mr. Campbell has two other cars
beside the one that was stolen and
they were both in his garage. This
left no room for the Ford and 1t was
necessary to leave 1t In the driveway.
It had been in use about two hours
before the robbery and was left in
the door yard, as there was no other
place in which to put it. The thief
made no noise and the men who saw
him had very poor description OF
him beyond the fact that he was
short thick set man. The police have
been advised and are working on the
case

 While the delegates were passing a peaceful Sunday slipping Cincinnati beer, or watching the Brown Stockings play the Buckeyes at the ball park, the national committee faced a dilemma. With the opening of the convention only a few hours off, they had not been able to locate Protestant minister who had voted the democratic ticket, there by becoming eligible to lead in prayer. Fearing to depart from precedent by deiegating the ceremony to a Roman Catholic, there was great rejoicing over the discovery of a Unitarian whose DO. litical record was satisfactory.
 As has, frequently happened since, the Tammany delegate opposed to Til den, and the regular delegates from New York did not mix. John Kelly led the Tammany fight for recognition through heated sessions, but in the end the Braves were rejected, With this development the Tilden cloud hanging over the convention became more menac- ing. No one knew when it would emit bolt, or where the bolt would strike.
