In reality It was a musical lilly lift

a steady, rocking, sometimes whimsical

due Whiteman for blazing the trail.
Finds That 1t Pays.
Paul Whiteman came from a
musical family-but he became a row
ing black sheep. He was a taxicab
driver in Los Angeles when the war
came and be Joined the navy and
formed an orchestra. He has been the
leading spirit in lifting jazz to high

salary bigger than the President. He
is still a huge, numbering, basb1ul boy,
who doesn't seem at all sure of him.

see what music means to him.
American composers have never

proved that out Of Jazz has been
evolved an American school which

simple for the masses TO understand.

A guide one day, while working on
a log drive, fell into the water. At
last, dizzy and nearly exhausted from
his struggle, he managed to grasp a
big log and hold on TO it. The current
was so strong and swift that it swept
his body under the log until his feet
stuck out on the other side.
Just as comrade, who had run 10
his assistance. grasped him by the
shoulders. he caught sight Of his own
feet protruding on the other side OF
the log.

Jefferson Memorial

A letter has been received from the
Thomas jefferson Memorial Founda-
ton Inc. with notice that April TO
13 will be known as Thomas Jeifer-
son Week, and April II, as Jefferson
Memorial Day in all schools. This,
the letter, stated has been univer-
sally endorsed because Jefferson
author of the Declaration of hide
pendence and champion of Religious
Freedom-was also a mighty advo-
cate Of public education and to him
we owe the splendid system of free
schools of which every American is
proud.
1t is suggested that some prizes
be given and they need not be ex-
pensive, to the pupil who writes the
best composition on Thomas Jeffer-
son, to be read at the exercises on
Memorial Day. The writer will des-
ignate one or many patriotic services
rendered by Thomas Jefferson, which
in his or her opinion, has worked the
most lasting benefit to our country.
Teachers in the county are kindly
requested to observe this week, by
bringing this matter up in the
recitation classes, such as language
and having pupils write themes Oh

Efficiency In Industry.

The winter automobile shows are
proving the truth of the assertion
that automobile manufacturers TO-
day are giving the greatest dollar
for-dollar value of all the leading
industries.
With prices in general 70 percent
higher than they were 10 years ago,
motor car prices are at least 20 per
cent lower than they were 10 years
ago And the cars, as everyone
knows are better. The buyer If
any make of car nowadays expects
more miles per gallon, longer life,
more comfort and convenience in
caring for his car than he did before
the war
1t is a remarkable thing that this
record for growing cheapness and
economy, combined with higher
quality, should have been attained in
a time of greatly increased costs for
materials and labor and high taxes.
It is a triumph for the scientific eff
ficiency which masters the art of
quantity production and makes
cheapness possible.
The automobile industry has &C
eomphshed its remarkable results,
and placed itself at the head of
American industries, in progress and
prosperity, by rare combination Of
brains and enterprise which ought to
be an inspiration for industry
