AMERICAN GENIUS.
 |S BEING SOUGHT.
Ready For New Messiah Who Is Expected To Come From
 United States

SAN FRANCISCO. Jan. 12.--(By Associated Press.-The time is at hand for a new messiah of music and perhaps he will rise in America, in the opinion of Alfred Hertz, conduc- tor of the San Francisco Symphony orchestra, form erly a director of wagnerian opera in New York and a musician of international repute.
 There are today many composers who arc almost genuises." MT. Hertz told the Associated Press. But Richard Strauss is the most recent to be accorded universally the name of genius. The now messiah will come; we are ready for him."
 Every now and then there appears on San Francisco Symphony pro- gram, tucked in between widely known compositions of the classical or n. odern school, some number bear ing the notation, Played for the first tme." The composer perhaps is a San Franciscan who has been brought to MT. Hertz's attention: at any rate he usually is an American of the younger generation, student or teacher who is becoming artiou- late. This Is the conductoT's way of ( . where it seems to him feasible for presentation on symphony pro- gram. Local artists also occasional lH are given their chance to appear ;'s soloists.
 MT Hertz constantl; is reading taanuscripts. hoping that maybe some day he will uncover glean- of greatness. The new genius is as likely to be produced in this country as anywhere" L. says. Tn ths amalgamation of artistic influences sfrom everywhere the native composer can profit by all the trends of the old World"
 The conductor would not venture |; prediction on the type of work such genus would present. whether it would he ultra -modernistic or re- act.oa to the classics. MT, Hertz agreed that modern music was so di- Ne@&". moving in so many directions, that it's tendencies could not be sum rlcd up in pnrasc. Being catholic in his musical taste ne Is no op- oacnt of modernism, save in it's most extreme forms. and bis pro- grams often are divided between numbers by brilliant members of the neW schools and the symphonies of 5lczart, Beethoven, Brahms, Schu- hert, Schumann and Tschaikowski.
 Despite intensified comm. ercialisn of America. the hectic pace of life and the din of traffic, many compo- @itions by American are "calm ana idealistic," said Mir. Hertz. America is providing the musical centers of today" he added.
 Referring to his recent trip to Eu- rope, Mir. Hertz explained that the economic chaos of the old musical capitals of Berlin and Vienna had impaired the concerts to a pitiable degree. He found that musicians did not even have tine to rehearse, since they must hold down half dozen different jobs to eke out an existence.
 "They are coming to America to stay. Musical appreciation hero has increased rem arkably in recent years"

DANGER OF FLOATING
 MINES IS STRESSED
Internal Machines Drifting About
 Ocean Constant Menace

COPENHAGEN. Jan. 12-(By the Associated Press).-Notwithsta the fact that it is more than five years since the World war ended the seas have not been entirely freed of mine fields and those remaining are constant menace to navigation. Captain Zieler, chief of the Danish Photographic 'office, recently said that energetic work has been done to sweep up the various anchored mine fields. but the number of mines laid and the long time they have been lying has resulted in number getting free of their moorings and they are now drifting about ocean highways like internal machines.
 Captain zieler said that the most frequent reports of floating mines come from the North and Baltic seas, in which the largest mine fields were established. Helsinfors recent ly sent out urgent warning to navs gators to exercise extreme caution in the southern part of the Gulf Of Finland, where a number of mines had been observed. Captain Zieler disputes the theory that the mines are not dangerous when floating.
 Of the known anchored mine now only one big field west of the Gulf of Cronstadt. This enables Rus sia to completely contron the ap- proach to Petrograd. as all naviga- tion to that port must go via, the two-mile broad mine-swept channel which can easily be closed if desired, as well as a number of small fields in the Black sea which stop the free navigation to the Russian ports there.
 The field west of the Gulf of Cronstadt stretches from the south end of Hogland eastward into the mouth of the Gulf of Cronstadt. The northern boundary Is formed by a line from Hogland over Sommers, Nerva, Halli and Alvati. The south , ern boundary runs over Little Tut CTS and Great Tjuters to about Is miles north of Narva. A mine-swept channel two miles broad. buoyou, leads from the south end of Hog land to the mouth of the Gulf of Cronstadt where the light vessel "Priemny' lies at anchor with pilots aboard for the purpose of guiding vessels further on. The depth in bSsE0srad trS ''. canal is now s'S me-
 Attention is also drawn to tho fact that the lighting and buoyage of the Gulf of Cronstadt has been con- siderably altered.

H0LSTEINS AVERAGE l,lO9 POUNDS BUTTER
Yearly Yield Equal To That Of
 Five Average Cows

CHICAGO. Jan. 1e.-(By the Asso- .iated Press) The total yearly pro- 1uction of the leading Holstein COW In each of AZ states is 41,689 pounds butterfat, equivalent to 52,111 pounds of butter, according to the advanced register record of the Holstein- Friesian Association of America, re- gently announced. This production is sufficient to supply each family with one pound of butter in cities the size of Rochester, New York ana Portland, oregon.
 The average production of each COW Is 1.109 pounds of butter in one year, which is more than the yearly butter yield of five average dairy cows in the United States, the rec- ords show. However, it is explained. the production is but 1.3 times that or the average of the 16,294 pure bred Holstein cows which have com pIeted yearly records under super vision of the state agricultural col- ieges and admitted to the advanced register of the national breed asso- ciation
