SYMPHONIC JAZZ IS ONLY A FAD
Veteran Musician Thinks It Will
 Soon Pass

New York, Jan. 8 R-symphonic | jazz, which now Is fighting for a foothold in the highest of American musical circles, is nothing but q fad, without any symptoms of originality, and is doomed to the oblivion that comes to all passing fanoies.
 So believes L. E. Manoly, who once played under Richard Wagner, the great composer, and for forty six consecutive years has been member of the New York Philhar- monic Orchestra,
 "Jazz symphony" he laughed, "Why, jazz is just q rhythmical af- fair. Rhythm has always been here. There Is no originality about sym phonic jazz --- 1t Is taken from oth- CT compositions.
 If one is to compose one must have original ideas. This Jazz fad now is just to give our American 1 composers a chance. But 1t will not last. If America is to produce a great composer, Its artists will have to get away from jazz" With these observations and a snap of the fingers. Manoly dismiss sed the subject. What was jazz to a man who had studied under Gus tav Mahler and Anton Bruckner and played not only under Wagner and Brahms but most of the worlds other great coductors during the past half century?
 ''It was back in 1874, in Vienna, that was at bass fiddle in Wag- ners orchestra" Manoly said. His works were little known then and his conducting was unusually intense as he strove to impress his interpre- tations."
 A year or so later, Manoly came to this country and 1t Is a peculiar coincidence that in 1877 he played in the Philharmonic orchestra then conducted by Leopold Damrosch. father of Walter Damrosch, conduc- tor of the New York Symphony Or chestra, who recently introduced Gershwins jazz Concerto in F.
 Theodore Thomas, whom some credit with having done more for orchestral music in North America than any other conductor, was head of the Philharmonic orchestra in 1880. when Manoly became a regular member.
 In those days the orchestra was operated on a cooperative basis by the members, with a board of direc- tors that handled its financial af- fairs. Manoly became director during his first year and still is d member of the board.
 Tt was 0 hard struggle, but we were glad of the opportunity for arts sake," he said. Rarely did we finish the season with funds to di- vide among the members. The con ductors then virtually were on the

Titled English Ladies See Pow.
 der,PuH Girls

London, Jan. 8 R,--Assertion that love Of the open air and sports has sounded the death knell of the fir tatious, powder puff girl are refuted oy Lady Forbes Robertson, Lady Martin-HarYey and others who maintain that the young women Of today are as feminine as ever.
 The physical training instructress Of the Blackburn Education Com mittee contends that when a girls leisure is devted to healthy outdoor recreation "she has neither the time nor the mind to powder her nose, or wonder if she IS sufficiently at tractive to men,"
 Concerning this view, Mrs. Joan Rosta Forbes, the explorer and au- thor. says flirting is out of date be- cause good comradeship between mon and women has taken its place.
 Lady Martin Harvey believes that all the sports girls have indulged in have not taken away their charm nor made man girls of them in the least.
 As Gertrude Lady Decies sees the question, any suggestion that the modern English girl. because she in- duIges in sports and athletics. neg lects her dress and personal appear ance, is far from being a fact. Watch girls playing games" she ayers. "Ihey are invariably neat and tidily turned out"
 Lady Forbes Robertson says: Sports for girls is necessary, but so, also, is the powderlng of ones nose. l don't believe sport deprives a girl of the time for flirting, for most girls love flirting at any old time."

 Most of the musicians then played In other organizations and on odd occasions in order to earn enough to live. Now the society Is a member ship organization and tho players arc paid salaries, This remuneration Is much better, Manoly said, and players now give their entire time 10 the society.

LINCOLN CANES i, USED BY INDIANS

Albuquerque, N. M., Jan. 8 Pl-- Tn 1868 President Lincoln gave sil- vcr mounted canes to each of thir- .teen governors of pueblos among the Pueblo and Zuni Indians In New Mexico, on the occasion of their visit 10 Washington. Today these canes represent the emblem of au- thUrity in the pueblos. They have been handed down from governor to governor.
 Lincoln's memory, through the canes, still stands as tho symbol of authority--the recognition of the Great White Father for his redskin children of New Mexico.
 Accounts of the visit to the Pueblo governors to Washington indicate that the president intended the canes only as personal gift. But the Indian chieftains took them as confirmation of their authority to rules the pueblos, Thus they became sccptors of power. and now they are known as ceremonial canes" and are carried by the governors "lllle performing important duties of of fec,
 A quarter of a century ago cere- monial cane figured in a controversy between Pueblo Indians of Espanola, N. NJ, and an Indian service official that nearly led to serious trouble, The white official took away the cane from the pueblo's governor and gave it to the man whom he desired to elevate to the office. The wrath Of the Indians was aroused and the gov ernment modified their grievance only by trying the official and giving him a suspended sentence.

BIRTH OF THE FLAG

On June Ia, 1777, in response to general de-
mand for distinctive national flag for the new
Republic of the United States, Congress passed
act providing follows:
"That the flag of the United States be thirteen
stripes of alternating red and white; and that the
union be thirteen stars, white, blue field, rep
resenting new constellation"
In this flag the stars were arranged in the
form of a circle, and after the admission of Yer
mont and Kentucky the number of stars and stripes
was each increased to fifteen. In 1918, five ad-
ditional states having been admitted, the flag
changed to its present form, thirteen stripes with
a star for each state. The exact size and arrange
ment of the stars were not definitely fixed until
October 10, 1912.
According to tradition, Betsy Ross of Phila-
dephia made the first flag bearing thirteen stars
and thirteen stripes, but there is uncertainty
regarding the origin, as well as the first use, of
the national emblem. Another tradition is
that it first used by the army at Fort Schuyler,
N. Y, August 8, 1777, where the flag was made
on the spot white stripes and stars cut from
soldiers shirts, red stripes from soldiers wifes
petticoat, with blue field cut from Captain Swart-
outs coat.
1t is also recorded that the flag of John Paul
Jones's ship Ranger, the first ever to be saluted
by foreign fleet, the French, was made from
slices taken from their silk dresses by girls of
Portsmouth, N. H., the white stripes being from
the wedding gown of recent bride.
In commemoraton of the adoption of the flag
by Congress, June Ia, is celebrated throughout the
nation Flag Day. this observance having been
fostered by the Benevolent and Protective Order
of Elks among whose lodges it was made obligatory
in 1908. 1t is most fitting that this occasion
should serve to mark renewal of allegiance to the
flag. The "Pledge to the Flag" taught and
peated daily by pupils of many schools, is as fol-
lows:
II pledge allegiance to the flag of the United
States and to the Republic for which it stands one
nation, nLivisible with liberty and justice for ALL"

been wiped off the slate by us. We are asking for
the return of the remaining six billions of our own
money, practically without interest within sixty

The nations that borrowed this money invested
it in battles for more territory. They got it
They fought for added colonies-and took them
for shipping routes and mandates for oil wells and
munitions-and now have them.
The United States fought simply to make the
world safe for democracy and to end wars But this
European statesmen refuse to give.
