Frankenstein Hops on to
the Bum Stuff
BY ALFRED V. FRANKENsTEeN.

John Philip Sousa, the musical
favorite son of American capitalism,
gave two concerts at the Auditorium
theater last Sunday afternoon and
evening. He opened up with some
awful trash called "Robespierre, or
The Last Days of the Reign of Ter
ror." One of his encores to this was
the Melody in A Major by a gent
named Dawes, known hereabouts for
various pleasantries such as schemes
for the enslavement of the German
working class, conducting a banking
business in criminal way, and sim
liar niceties. But, and we say this
knowing full we'll the danger we run
Of being thrown off the staff of this
paper, being ousted from the party
and barred from taking part in radical
activities forever more, He'll and
Maria has written a very good sentim-
entail tune.
Feeding The Morons
John Dolan, first cornet of the band
played few solos. Dolan has a
phenomenal technic. and he played
worse trash than the first number Of
the program But this is partly ex
tcusable because on a band program
one must throw sop to the morons
Three other soloists graced the pro
gram. A soprano named Nora Fauch
aid sang 1.-THE Maids of Cadiz" by
Delibes and made a deserved hit with
it. The first saxophone of the band
played whirlwind waltz, but the en-
cores it produced, two saxophone oc
tets, eclipsed the effect of the solo.
Wanted: Merry Conductor.
George Carey, the xylophone player
played a work of his own best des
cribed by it's title, 1.-THE Pinwheel.'
The xylophone is almost an unrecogn
lied instrument in symphonic and sole
music. II somebody would write q
concerto for it, and if some conduc
tor would have the nerve to produce
Debussy's rhapsody for saxophone
and orchestra, the highbrows might
wake up to the possibilities of these
two instruments.
Sousa played an arrangement Of
Strauss tone poem Don Juan" which
was a fiat failure. Don Juan" is nc
more suited to band arrangement thar
one of Sousa's marches is suited fol
a symphony orchestra.
There was lot Of delightful jazz
and plenty of Sousa marches. Music

Two EDUCATION
ASSOCIATIONS IN
ANTI-RED Clash
Sharp Conflict Between
the N. E. c. and A. E. A.
BY LAURENCE TODD

Federated Press stan corresponding
WASHINGTON, Nov. -
Between the action Of the Ma
tional Education Association in
endorsing the Education Week
program announced by J. J.
Tigert, U. S. commissioner of
education, after Tigert had
taken the Americanization COM
mittee of the American Legion
into partnership, and the ac-
ton Of the American Education
Association in summoning a
world conferences on education
in order to promote world
peaNe, there is sharp conflict
The world conference was
held in San Francisco In June
and July, 1928. Has the associa-
ton gone over to nationalist
fears and class bias and general
denial of its earlier attitude
since 1928?
The program for Education Week
announces that we fpust Stamp Qua

"The red flag means death, destruc-
ton, poverty, starvation, disease, an
archy and Dictatorship"
ITS Stand in 1928.
What did the association say in
1928? 1t published the proceeding Of
the world conference at San Francis
co, boasting the service it had render
ed the cause Of peace on the one hand
and individual culture on the other,
by bringing together the educators of
countries around the earth, in a COM
mon purpose to bring about COM
mon understanding and tolerance. 1t
established a world federation Of ed
ucation associations.
Resolutions adopted by this world
conference, dealing with international
ideals, declared that "A universal aim
in teaching the history of a country
should be to teach the social, econom.
ic and political development Of the ma
ton and to show the relationship Of
these lines of activity to similar lines
Of development in other countries"
Also that History should be taught
from the world point OF view" Also
that "The economic, social and intel.
lectual welfare of humanity demands
uninterrupted cooperation among the
nations of the earth and the reign Of
reason and justice founded upon in
ternational goodwill; that such teach
ing will show the significance OF those
things which enter into true concep-
ton of civilization"
Urge Goodwill Day.
With the statement Of principles,
the conference resolved that May Is
be henceforth celebrated as internae
tional goodwill day. that date being
the anniversary Of the opening OF the
first Hague conference. II was re-
solved that ian international flag, as
the emblem Of International goodwill,
might well be used in this celebra-
ton"
DR.. Augustus o. Thomas, state COM
missioner Of education of Maine, was
in charge Of the arrangements for this
world conference, and was chosen as
president OF the world federation. He
remains chairman Of the foreign re
lations committee OF the N. E. A..
which now has permitted its name to
be linked with the TigertLegion cell

cation.

Food Is Rotten
But other French iails are the
worst in Europe. The food is impos.

on it. The government exploits the
hunger of the prisoners by selling
extra rations at fantastic prices. The
punishments are terrible, not only de.
prival of food, and dark cells with and
without chains, but rooms which re
volve so that rest is impossible. Be-
sides this the jailer often beats prison

proposed to her, been accepted. She
gave him all her heart; she learnt
rapturously to love love. The world
became ntgical. The date of the
wedding was fixed.
Then Ned came one day and said
that candor was best, and that the
sole manly course was To confess to
her. What? What? That he had mis-

cause she was flattered by the reali-
zation of her power over hfm-and
she had the same power over Carly
Lyeskov-and partly because he was
so wistful and she pftied him in his
unhappiness. Nevertheless, in her
heart she was indignant.
She did not see Elaine Edar aban-
doning her independent situation for
the status of the wife of a Ned Halt

money when she needed it, consider
ing his wishes in regard to her own

absurd, monstrous. His suggestion
amounted to .effrontery. And Carly

with him. sharing surreptitiously the
room with him. Their tender init
macy emerged toward them out of
the past, indestructible. Somehow,
what had been, still was. How could
she treat him as a stranger? She
could not. Moreover, she felt far
superior to him in moral force; she
felt, despite her resentment, almost
protective in a casual. condescending
way. She had the alteration Of Carly
Lyeskov at her back.

Ned gazed at the rug under his
feet. Silence. Hiss of the gas stove:
hiss Of the EaS rings; fizzing of the
blue-yellow gas jet within its mantle.

! inGly. in a rather Indifferent, half
quizzing tone, as if saying: We'll,

now you've had her six years."
He whispered soiemnly:
Poor Alice died two years ago, and
the baby's two years old. Hadn't you

She shook her head She could not
speak; her throat was suddenly con-
stricted: tears glittered in her eyes.

Sweden Has 8
Hour Law

Stockholm, May 21.--Less jazz
dancing and more reading Of good
books, less drunkenness and more in
terest in private gardens, less gamh-
ling and greater excellence in ath-
lctics, are some Of the conditions
among Swedish laborers directly
traceable to the reduction of the
working day to eight hours, accord
ing to report of the Workmen' $
Culture Association.
Replying to a QUESTIONABLE sent
out by the main office of the associa-
tipn, 95 societies distributed through
out Sweden reported on the benefits
Of the added leisures obtained by
laborers since the enactment of the
eight-hour law in 1919.
One of the arguments advanced
against the law was that the employ
es would probably use their extra
free hours for piece work or other
money making occupation. But that
prediction was not fulfilled. AL
though many centers reported that
the men did, indeed, find recreation
in turning to other forms of physical
work, the new occupations were such
innocent things as planting and ten
ding gardens, or making furniture
and experimenting with the art of
interior decoration. In the town of
Bofors they have even undertaken
to build their own cottages, more
than 500 homemade homes having
been built since 1920.

WHEREVER SUN
SHINES THERE
ISSENTIMENT'

Berlin, May 2l.-The prosperity of
popular songwriters in America has
aroused the caustic criticism of Il
writer in the Berlin Montagspost. He
declares that all the American popu-
lar songs about love and mother are
written by a lot Of charlatans who
fool the tired. money-mad American
public. a people Of "no real feeling,
but full Of .sickly sentimentality."
The success OF many of the Amcri-
can songs and dance tunes in Europe
even in cultured Germany also seems
IL be extremely annoying to this
writer.
A German music publisher, when
asked about the kind Of songs Ger
mans like. laughed and replied that
the taste all over the world in popu-
lar songs is about the same. In
his opinioM love and mother are
just as ''sure- fire" in Germany as
they are in the United States. He
cited the long run the American
film, Mother" is having in the Ger
man cities and predicted the world
would never tire of the gray-haired
mother and the golden-hnired maid
Ell in song, story and drama.
