MORNING AFTER HAS FEW
PANGS FOR. YOUNG YEAR
Little Booze, Some Fights; Chief
Collins Glad

The debut party OF this year, 1924,
surveyed in the cold clear briliance
OF yesterdays sunlight, was a neat,
orderly affair, MARRIED by only dozen
arrests OF tipplers, few carelessly
discharged pistol bullets, street fight
or two, and great deal OF non-alco-
hole New Years spirit.
From almost every point of view,
with the possible exceptions of the
weather prophets, it was an evening
of moderation.

"4VOTD THE PIT"

Arthur w Cutten, credited with having made
couple of million lately out of grain speculation in
Chicago, advises others to avoid the grain pit.
''If | had SON. he says, Il wouldn't let him
touch it with a ten-foot pole"
When asked why he takes this attitude when he
has been speculating in the grain market all his life
and has made feature out of it, he SAYS:
Because there are many wrecks down there in
the pit. People call them brokers. They are only
part of that--the broke part.
mot more than 10 per cent of the men who go into
grain ever remain. The others just dwindle away
The Lord knows what becomes Of them. And the 10
per cent mostly the broke brokers' They know the
in and out, but they can't trade for themselves
They lose their when they're handling their
money. So they just trade for others salary.
That's as far as they ever get and they haven't got
dollar
1t is much the same, as honest and experienced
spectators will testify, with the stock market.
Mr. Cutten's recent success, doubt, will raise
new crop of grain stock gamblers Every spectacular
success does. And the newcomers will go broke, just
about Mr.. Cutten them
That morast himself may go broke yet, and prob
ably will The history of speculation shows that even
the highly successful seemingly favorites of for
tune, nearly always lose eventually Tom Lawson is
one of them. Gambling winnings, somehow, have
way of slipping through the fingers Only earned
money sticks and brings lasting benefit to its owner

FATTGUED ENGLISH

Some suggests that the reason Americans are
so careless in their speech using too much slang,
dropping their final 'g's' and indulging in various
forms of lip-laziness, is that they are fatigued.
Excessive fatigue, worry and undue excitement at
feet the individuals speech somewhat. 1t not
impossible, then that the general excitement under
which this nation is supposed to carry on Its daily
affairs the noise the big cities the speed of trans
portation and the strain of competition should all af
the tongues and minds of citizens sufficiently to
make them careless of their speech.
Somehow that seems to be too easy an explanation
II it were true might expect to find the most
beautiful English in backwoods region where the
rush of modern civilization has not penetrated 1t IS
true that very ancient words and dioms found in
such places but not good English as we mean 1t when
we urge a serious campaign in its behalf.
The only way to rescue the English language
from American neglect is to teach it in its purest form
TO the counrys little children. That Is huge task,
since it means that parents must use only good Eng
lish the home teachers must use only good Engsh
in the school room, and newspapers and magazines
must use only good English their pages. Along
with perpetual motion and the fora hens cross
ing the road perhaps genius will discover how to
accomplish these things.

Eighty Music Schools
for Poor In the II. S.

Since the founding of the first music
school settlement 80 years ago the
movement has been so successful that
there are now so such schools In the
country. Seven of the schools are In
New York city and have recently
banded together as the Association of
Music School Settlements. Their aim
Is to bring the beauty and the solace
OF fine music into lives that are more
or less dreary.
In city like New York are many
young people whose lives are hemmed
In by hard necessity; young folk, to
whom healthful joy is largely denied;
to whom an experience such, for ex-
ample, as day in the country seems
almost myth. These young people in
considerable numbers turn instructive
ly to music as the only available
means to satisfy the craving of the
spirit for better things. They lack the
money to go to hear good orchestra
or to buy monograph or a radio set.
All they have is their hands and their
voices.
Yet hands and voices are useless
without instruction. wherefore the
music school settlement has found its
reason for existence. In these schools
the young people are taught by teach
ers who love the work; the lessons
are within the reach of all Free
scholarships are provided for those
who excel The standard Of work
done is said to compare favorably
with that of any conservatory.
The support of the schools is de-
rived from private contributions and
benefit concerts. In New York a
series of concerts is being given this
winter at Carnegie hall. at which art
lists such as Ignace Paderewski, Mis-
cha Elman, Nine. Margaret Matzen-
auer, the New York Symphony orches-
ira, conducted by Walter Damrosch,
and the Society Of the Friends of Mu-
sic, under the leadership of Arthur
Bodanzki, contribute their services.
There are more than 5000 students
In the New York schools and their
numbers are growing so fast that the
schools are not able to take care of all
applicants and have had to institute
waiting nsts.-New York Times.
