HALLELUJAH AND BANANAS

One hardly knows whether to be indignant or merely amused by the shameless manner in which jazz composers steal and distort the melodies cf the masters, in grinding out the syncopated songs and dance tunes of the day
 It is far cry from the majestic 'Hallelujah Chorus" of Handels Messiah to the notorious ''Yes, We Have No Bananas ; but they contain es- sentially the same melody Rachmaininoffs $ Pre- lude' has been transformed into ''The Russian Rag" the popular "Marcheta' is adapted from Nicolai's Merry Wives of Windsor;'' Chopin s < 'Impromptu in D-flat Major' becomes ''Chasng Ranbows' ''
 Some of the modern composer" are even bra zen enough to indicate by their titles the sources of their stolen ars witness tune called Ragged William' based on theme from Rossini's ''Will- fam Tell and another entitled 'So This Is Ven ce,' distortion of the we'll known "Carnival of Venice" by Schumann.
 There are dozens of other similar examples of piracy which might be pointed out, which are easily recognizable by anyone acquainted with real music. But as there Is way to stop such sacrege, It IS probably just as well to smile, for indignation will not help matters.

RADIO IN CANADA

With nine broadcastng stations stretching from the Atlantic toward the Pacific, the Canadian Na- tional Railways have developed a radio system not eoualled by any other railroad in the world. One more station, at Vancouver, remains to be added to complete the chain, the present stations being at Montreal Ottawa, Winnipeg, Regina, Saskatoon, Cal gary. Edmonton, Toronto and Monckton.
 Sixteen trains between Montreal and Vancouver and two trains between Montreal and Quebec are now equipped with receiving apparatus, while oth- CTS will shortly be added.
 Besides broadcasting music and entertainment programs lectures on Canadian progress and oppor- tuntes are given and the system is used to advan- tage in connection with official railroad business.
 Important and desirable this service to pa irons of the railroad has become 1t Is perhaps of even greater benefit to the public It has encour- aged the installation of receiving sets in many farm homes of the Dominion and is great boon, espe- ciay to the remote and sparsely settled sections It is claimed that along the line of the railroad forest fires have been reduced nearly 50 per cent through a campaign of education ill fire protection.
 From the above it may be clearly seen that ra- dio is coming to be something more than a fad or a means of entertainment It is one of the most po- tent forces for social and material betterment that science has given to the world.

FARMERS KEEP BUSY.

Asked to tell the secret of his good looking place and how he managed, even in bad years, to make steady progress a successful small farmer said:
 'I don t know that there is any secret about 1t, except that keep busy. My idea is that too many farmers waste valuable time especially III winter, when there are no crops to be tended.
 ''Instead of loafing between seasons try to do something every day. in bad weather, to i'm prove my home or farm buildings. I keep little lumber some nails, paint and few tools on hand and make it point to make little improve ments and repairs during the winter season, either paths fix fences, look after my machinery, clean up rubbish and lot of things like that, which helps the looks of the place and money in the long rum
 ''Then when the busy season comes in the spring I can devote all my attention to putting in and tending my crops. farm can not afford to loaf too much, even in winter"
 This farmer is only in moderate circumstances, but he has most comfortable home, with many con- veniences not usually found small farm. He takes care of his machinery houses his stock proper" iy keeps his yard, barnyard and orchard in good shape and sees that nothing goes to waste
 If his example were followed by all farmers, there is no doubt that they would profit by it, both in satisfaction and in money returns.

Swimmers of Six Nations
Ready for Test Across
Choppy Waves.
BY Sidney Williams

United Press staff C0rfeSDOndeHt
DOVER, England, Aug. S.-Swim-
mers Of six nations are on hand to
attempt the seldom accomplished
feat of swimming the English Chan
mel.
Rivalry among those who propose
to pit strength, skill and stamina
against the tides, winds and turbu-
lent channel waters is becoming in
tensif1ed. %
With Gertrude Ederle, American
champion, temporarily indisposed,
Lillian Harrison, Argentine girl,
probably will be the first to start.
Because of increasingly strong
winds sweeping the channel, Miss
Lillian Harrison, Argentine girl, late
today pos ned until midnight Sun
day her Tempt to swim to England.
Setsu Nishimaru, a Japanese swim
mer, has gone to Boulogne, announc-
ing he will swim the channel at the
same time as Miss Harrison.
Miss May Victoria, an English girl,
and Frank Perks, an Englishman,
also are ready to start.
Then there is Halmi, the Egyptian,
who already has tried and failed and
is training for another attempt, and
Nine. Jean Sion and Lieut.. Col. Ber
nard F'reyberg, both of whom lost
out by narrow margins this week,
and are preparing to try again.

Vincent Richards, the grown-up
boy wonder of New York, and Billy
Johnston, the spidery little veteran
from San Francisco, were to meet
in what may turn out to be the
finest singles match of the season.
More than an American rating de-
ponds upon the result of today's
match. The winner will be named
to help Tilden play the singles
matches in the defense of the Davis
cup. The tennis association was I'M
able to make a choice and they
asked the two stars to settle 1t
themselves.
East Wins Three
Their match was the feature of
the final program of the East West
matches which started Friday when
the eastern team lost only one match
and finished the day with a score
of to 1 against the westerners. The
eastern team needs only two matches
out Of The five today to gain the
victory.
Tilden and his partner, young
George Lott, the Chicago star. who
was drafted by the East, gave the
westerners their only victory Friday
when they dropped their match to
the Kinsey brothers, 1924 doubles
champions.

By VEDDER G ARD

FOCAL boxing fans are tired
III of watching "catchers" in
- the boxing ring If the
tastes and preferences of the
cauliflower connoisseurs can be-
judged by remarks heard at re-
cent shows. Most any bruiser
can stand up and take beating
with silly grin on his face.
We can see no reason why any
fighter should get much credit
for making a chopping block out
of himself or covering his face
up with his gloves and his body
with his elbows until he RESENT
bles turtle. Such actions take
neither skill nor science.
Indianapolis patrons of the mitt
singers do not seem to care much
for classy boxers, either, as far
as that goes. They like to see a
slam bang affair. But they don't
want one man to do all the slam
ming and banging.
There have been too many
"catchers" in local rings lately.
And one does not have to go
back any farther than the ring
performances this week to pick
them out.
In the main go at the fort last
