SHOULD PARENTS RETALIATE?

Now we are to have national crime commits
sion" It is understood it isn't to be organized for
the commission of crimes but to make general
assay of the quality and variety of crimes for the
purpose of publishing statistics Boys and girls,
are now killing their fathers and mothers with
great frequency. One can not help wondering, to
reasonable extent at least, just how fathers and
mothers have been annoying their children to
cause such strenuous reaction on their part We
believe that law should be passed which would
compel children to state why they act that way
It's alright for children to work the old stock
to death during the earlier period of existence but
there should be an age limit set before which chill
dren should not be legally allowed to pass the old
folks on with shotgun or poison.
There are still great many children well ad-
vanced in age-say six to seven years old-who
are willing to accept Santa Claus as their patron
saint providing the old man delivers the goods on
schedule and according to order. Ii this idea is
carried to an extreme by children. If this idea is
pointed out that parents may retaliate by not hav-
ing any children, fearing to take any chances.

DETERRENT

The different arguments advanced
by the European countries as to
whether or not they should pay their
war debts to America caused Herbert
Hoover to remark:
European statesmen, / cannot say
whether Intentionally or not, are as
naive in their arguments as child.
They are adroit enough to be A1neri-
can lawyers. Only the other day, a
prominent diplomat made statement
about the war debt Of his country
that reminded me Of little boy friend
of mine.
Hearing they had twins at the lit
tie fellows house, remarked:

JONES, BLUNDER

Jones was nothing if not gallant,
but he always said the wrong thing.
Mrs. Brown, who was exactly the
same age as her husband, but would
not admit it, was entertaining some
friends, Jones among them.
"My husband is 40," she was say
ing. "You wouldn't believe it, but
there's actually ten years difference
in our ages"
Impossible!" interposed Jones,
anxious to say something agreeable.

DOING THE PUBLIC GOOD

The Miami Silver Belt, owned by Cleve VAN
Dyke and who also seems to own controlling in
terest in both political parties of the state is still
drawing on its vast store of misinformation rela-
tive to the proposed exchange Of the Bright Angel
trail to the government for an approach road to
Grand Canyon. Just what good it is doing is hard
to say since the question was settled long ago. OF
course the government agreed to build and main
tain the approach road in exchange for the trail,
but facts do not seem to fit in with his ingrowing
crouch at the government.
. We should think if -VanDyke succeeds in putting
over the lease deal for his waterworks system to
the city of Miami for $684227.20 while the cor
poration commission engineers reported that it
could be reproduced new for 1924, ,609.63 he

SIGNS OF WINTER APPROACHING

While the robins are still here tnd cold weather
seems quite always away, we have noticed the
harbringers of winter on the wing The heating

steam meters and winding them up a few knots

These signs would not be SO ominous if the

William C.. White, principal OF

Army Music School, situated at
the Barracks, here in Washing
ton, has just had published
most valuable book on "Mili-
tary Band Arranging" by the
Carl Fischer Company.
The work is a practical mod

private study. Special attention
is given to the good and bad
qualities of each instrument,
with information designed to as
sist the student in scoring in
diligently.
There are several excellent
books on "orchestration," but
few on military band arranging.
The book. while designed for
the novice, has such compre-
hensive glimpses of music-scor-
ing In the larger form. that it
may carry the student into the
wider realms of music litera-
ture. For instance, Mr.. White
not alone gives separate analy-
SEES of the Instruments, but he
has dwelt lpon "tone color" and
how it may be obtained, on con-
trasts for variety or dramatic
effects, ana the possibilities of
combination If the concert pipe

81 900 Contest by 1926
BY JESSIE MacBRIDE.

81 900 prize contest, for an Or
chestraI Composition, that has

No composition shall be eligible
IL submitted after that date. They

The War Presidents =
In Patriotic
Cantatas
bob. LAWRENCE UPPER

Washington Lincoln Wilson
have been commemorated In q
"Trilogy Of Patriotic Cantatas"
by two men closely identified
with the music life Of the Ma
tional Capital, Edwin N. G.
Barnes, director of music of the
Washington Public Schools, and
r. Dean Shure, organist and
composer, now officiating at the
Mount Vernon Place M. =.
Church.
"The War Presidents" they
call them. The Lincoln" cam
tata is just off the press, being
published by "Music Education"
Washington, d. @.
It's poem is by Doctor Barnes
and it serves to. combine the
high inspiration of this great
soul with the simplicity that
was his very being. Also the
environment that made Lincoln
the great war President of
Emancipation is well drawn in
the text.
Mr.. Shure has made the music
a short cantata for mixed voices,
with solo. baritone voice. The
solo voice is in part a chroni-
cler. 1t takes about ten minutes
to perform. Remembering r.
Deane Shure's Lyric Washing
tom it is interesting to find
that again the Inspiration of this
composer is devoted to the sub
jects of his Homeland that
span the century and a half of
it's national life.F

any afternoon gathering Of fashion
ables and this summer they are going
to be even more conspicuous and beau
tiful than they have been. Already
style creators are promoting the use Of
sheer fabrics for midsummer ensem-
bles. Chiffon, georgette, wolfe and silk
that Is light as feather. contribute
beauty and promise comfort for even
sultry afternoons. and the chiffon coat,
in black, is worn over dresses of print
ed silk as well as over those Of crepe,
georgette or chiffon. In the ensemble
pictured the coat has a wide double
border Of fur at the bottom and on the
sleeves. In this particular 1t is not
representative Of chiffon coats in gen.
eral. They are usually finished with a
ruching of ribbon, fringe Of monkey
fur, wide tucks or with fanciful Dor

broidery in high colors. In the costume
pictured the large boutonniere and long
strand of pearls reflect the latest fam

hats are worn with these formal cos

very light and cool, are also shown
over brightly colored silk crepe frocks
and coats of blond taffeta like those
of cashmere will serve for wear with
many frocks.
When good sense and economy sug-

for use with more than one frock, 1t
is best to choose 1t in a color that
will harmonic with all other colors.
Black is perennial favorite, but beau

brown will serve as well and are more
fascinating, and the warm sand shades

designs of several kinds, including
hose shown in the photograph. But re-
sourceful women often make their own
designs or copy some of the famous
old ones. The burlap is stretched tight

design hooked in. AS each row of hook

the entire design has been hooked the

With all their excursioning into bust

home-making remains unchanged in
most women. The great majority Of
them are more interested in beautify-

things of beauty and might prove a
