BY ERNEST BLOCH

BY ERNEST BLOCH
Noted Composer and Winner OF
Coolidge Prize, 1919.
q OST of the truly Russian COM
I'M posers did not start their ca
IL reers as musicians.
Borodine, the composer of Prince
Igor was a chemist by profession.
Rimsky- Korsakoff was a naval officer.
And Moussorgsky, the greatest of
them all, was a petty officer in the
Russian army. But later, after hav-
ing resigned from the army in order
to devote himself entirely to music,
Moussorgsky was compelled by pow
erty to accept a government position.
His technical book knowledge of
music was always very slight. How
ever, in his case it was evidently no
handicap-for it enabled him to ap
proach music and life without preju
dice and to discover for himself a
completely new and original musica
language.
For many years his music was mis-
understood. Only twenty years after
his death did a few European must
clans begin to know and love his
music. And only several years later
after the production of Boris God
unoff' at the opera, with Chaliapir
in the title role, did his universal
fame begin to grow. Even in 1908 OF
1909 a musical critic of France wrote
him a letter. quite ignorant of the fact
that he had been dead for nearly
thirty years.
MoussOrgskY's music is the mos
truly Russian that exists. 1t EN-
bodies the whole Russian soul Witt

Traveller Tells of
Odd Desert Customs

The great traveller, Dorothy Mills.
has Just returned from journey OF
discovery through Africa, where she
spent weeks under the same roof with
the members of the warlike tribe of
the Touaregs, in order to study their
ways and CUSTOMS, says the Detroit
News. The Touaregs wander, like the
other nomad tribes, through the Sa-
hara desert She relates that when
slave of his tribe wants to change
his master, instead of giving notice to
some one in authority, he goes to the
tent of the man whom he wants to
serve and cuts through The knee-sin-
ews of his camel so that it cannot
walk. He then offers himself as
a substitute to the owner. who is gen.
orally glad to take him.
The women are the most remarkable
of this tribe, it appears. They wash
themselves with sand and at meals the
women eat first, the men and children
having what is left over. The ideal
beauty for women among the Touaregs
is to be very fat. Little girls are
stuffed in the cruelest fashion after
their eighth year. They are rubbed
daily with oil and then rolled in the
sand to close up the pores. The women
are so fat they are unable to move
without the help of their slaves.
