a NOTABLE standard for Music
"A weeks all over the country was
established by the celebration Of the
sixth annual Music week in New
York. The chief campaign was laid
in the sphere of the community and
the children. Ten thousand children
played their own music. sang their
own songs, performed through their
own orchestras, and made all the
music during the week.
The activity of these children
brought forward a list of music pa
irons such as the musical life of the
country has not heretofore been able
to call out To show the adult popu-
lat!on OF the city just exactly what
the children do and accomplish, a pub
lie demonstration contest was staged
at Carnegie Hall, May 8. Leopold
Auer, worldfamous teacher Of the VIC
lin, consented to be a judge, also
Efrem Zinbalist and Franz kneisel.
For the piano competition, Serget
Rachmaniroff, Leopold Godowsky,
Harold Bauer and Ernest Hutcheso
were Judges Alma Gluck led the
committee of judges for voice, and
Philip Egner. bandmaster of West
Point. Fritz Reiner of the Cincinnati
Orchestra. and Rudolph CAM OF the
ST. Louis Orchestra honored the chill
dren by acting as judges for bands
and orchestras.
These contests are a year-round
source of encouragement to the chill
dren, and they set goal for every
girl and boy during the arduous
months of practice while progress to-
ward musicianship goes on. The
music contests are open to any child,
and. in certain classes, even to adults.
In order to reach every corner of the
community, the five boroughs of
Greater New York are divided into
4S districts, following the school dis
tricts, and each district has a chair
man. Thus parcelled out in small
areas, the preliminary contests in the
neighborhoods are intimate affairs,
and every talented youngster within
that school district has a chan nee to

"reminiscences of President Wilson.
The selection OF The League Of Ma
tions March" bears out in an interest
ing manner one Of Sousa s theories Of
music. Several years ago Sousa de-
ciared that he believed II possible to
convey in terms Of music almost any
impression. At that time he said that
he thought it was as possible for the
individual to describe an event of a To-
cality as effectively by musical terms
as by alphabetical characters. Now a
practical newspaper man has attempt
ed to express himself In terms of mu.
sic with story of four world figures

Highway Dept. to Eliminate
Crossings; Promote Safety
Number of Railroad Hazard Points
On State System Reduced a
Third In Five Years

Mlnnesota's new good roads pro-
gram has already eliminated 334 rail
road-highway grade crossings out of
a total of 932, according to official
records, and CORRESPONDENCE increas-
ed the safety factor for trunk route
travellers. Plans are completed for
separations of grades at more than
800 other crossings and highway Of
ficials state that the remaining num-
Der, are of necessity held in abey-
ance, some involving too large ex-
pense and few presenting difficult
physical problems.
Of the separations to date on the
7,O0O-mile state highway system,
21S were effected by relocating
highways, 76 by routing roads under
the railroads and 40 by carrying the
road ever the tracks. Such elimina-
tons of highway accident hazards re-
ceive financial and other cooperation
from the railroads and are called for
by government regulations prohibit
ing the use of federal aid on highway
projects involving grade crossings
which can be separated.
A recent report that the new loca~
ticn of the trunk highway between
the Twin Cities and Moorh eai e
duced the distance by forty miles
and others recall the statement by
Commissioner Charles M. Babcock
that when the state highways are all
permanently located the mileage of
the system will be reduced about ten
per cent. This will mean correspond
ingly less miles of roads to improve
and maintain for all time, he pointed
out, but the big advantage will come
of the savings in miles travelled by
truck highway users.
