Our thought is this, "&Dsaid DIR.
Barnes.
How many school graduates are
going to sing in our choirs. our
choral societies?
THE answer has been computed
as scarcely per cent.
How many are to carry on the
school instruction as intelligent
listeners?
"The anwer is 80 per cent And
in it's connection with radio, today,
s. per cent"
These are surprising figures.
So in Washington. under DIR.
Barnes, music in the schools is Ill
vided into classes in singing, IN
music appreciation, instrumental
classes for piano, violin, saxophone,
drums, cello. clarinet and flute.
These lead up to the big assem-
blies, in which DR.. Barnes has his
only personal contact with the large
personnel of the schools, and to the
orchestras.
Statistics, which. will be quoted
later. reveal more than any argu-
ment can do. But the ''Why" ct
certain phases in public school nlu-
sic is worthy Of serious Considera.
ton.
Oh, For An Eastman In Music!
There is a tremendous money
handicap on music in the schools,
Funds are needed for sheet
music, for orchestra and band
scores, as we'll as for the instru-
ments themselves.
But this question is even more
important.
Are we going to let Jazz go on,
asks DR.. Barnes, "or will we so
provide, through music education,
that our boys and girls will demand
better things?
I'VE have got to meet pernicious
Jazz. We can only do SO by q
constructive program.
so we ask ourselves this ques-
ton, Have we been making the
children do what they didn't want
to do?'
I'm my opinion our Listening
Program is the great program of
the future.
"Washington's total number of
students now in some special
musical activity in the schools IS
1887. It should be 10000"
And then DR.. Barnes told OF an
incident that takes the question
straight back to the parents.
One little girl, child Of quite
wealthy parents, who didn't know
she had any aptitude for music, ad-
vanced so rapidly in the Melody
Way" method that is being used in
the schools, that-on going to Maine
for the SUMMERTIME mother asked
a noted teacher to hear her.

children. But he listened to the

MUSIC IN
Bis CONCERT

A Symphonic Suite that il ex-
pected to create considerable COM
ment among musicians. will divide,
with I a chorus of 500 voices, the
center of attraction at the benefit
concert for Friendship House, to-
be given on January "a at the
washington Auditorium, under the
direction of r.! Deane Shure, with
the chorus under DIR. u. NJ 9.
Barnes, head of the public school
music of the city.
The suite, THE World Flyers,
was written by Mr.. Shure to COM
memorate the first "round the
world flight by the aviators of the
United States Army. The work
has been dedicated to Captain San
lehman, of the United States Ma
rine Band and will be played by the
symphony orchestra of the band.
The symphony is divided into
four movements, descriptive of the
start of the flight. a pastoral"
depicting the smooth even flight of
the planes in good weather, a little
diversion in the form of a men
uet," picturing the feting of the
fliers at various points where they
made landings, and passage de-
scriptive. of StheI passage of the
planes through a heavy storm. In
this latter movement the opponents
of things modern in the way of
music will find ample material for
criticism.
Those who can appreciate true
descriptive writing will find in
the dissonances, the swoop of the
wood winds, the soaring Of the
strings, the boom of the bass and
the crash of the cymbals, a truly
impressionistic bit of writing. The
head Of one of the leading publish
ing houses which has put out much
of Mr.. Shure's works has declared
one of the most striking beauties
of his writings has been his ability
to build up his chords into colorful
dissonances that have resolved into
beautiful harmonies made even
more beautiful by the preceding
discords. n
The members of the orchestra,
after the first attempts at the
work, caught the meaning of it
and have plunged into the prepare
ton OF it with an unusual en-
thusiasm.
The united chorus will soon be
called in joint rehearsals by DR.. E.

ELEVEN new WELLS
ARE UNDER WAY
IN KEYIN FIELD
NINE SPUDDED IN AND THIRTEEN
COMPLETED IN REGION
LAST WEEK

Despite the low price of crude oil
and pro-rating of a portion of the
field, drilling activities in the Kevin-
Sunburst field have not been halted.
Eleven new wells were started, nine
spudded in and thirteen completed
in the last week.
The O'Neil-Lashbaugh No. l and
Homestake4State No. 9 wells, both
good for more than 1000 barrels a
day, were the largest competitions of
the week. The O'Neil well, after be-
ing considered a dry hole, struck
production in the lime and made $50
barrels the first "a hours 1t made
1900 barrels the second day, and is
now making better than 2,100 barrels
daily.
The Ferdig Lashbaugh No. IA and
Rose-Byrne No 13 well have been
started with 20-inch holes. Should
they fail to find good production in
the Ellis they will be converted into
deep test locations. The Ferdig-An-
derson No. IL is now drilling at 1900
feet, and should reach the Devonian
in short time. The FarrishLeibe-
nau No. 1 is at 1880 feet.

erent views expressed in judgment of
who were in error or willfully were
offenders Intentionally or otherwise.

Mr.. C. H. Goebel, operating under
that name at present, and who is To-
Gated in the Oil City Garage building
is kept very busy these days attend
ing to the various wants and needs of
different parties who recognize his
skill and mechanical ability. At the

fer lack of room, but this will be eli
minated in the near future, when he
will occupy thes whole building now

PURPOSE OF NEW PIPE
LINE rs SUBJECT
OF CONJECTURE
SPECULATION RsULTs FROM
ILLINOIS cOMPANY's ANNoUNc-
MENT OF PLAN TO BUILD FROM
KEvIN-SUN6URsT FIELD INTO
CITY OF SHELBY

Shelby, June 4-Much speculation
has resulted here from the annOunc-
ment of the Illinois Pipe Line com
pany that it will build six-inch pipe
line from the Kevin1Sunburst oil field
into Shlby. A variety of reasons
have been advanced for the building
of the project, but as general thing
operators are convinced that the
company's full purpose has been
revealed.
While conjecturres as to the pur-
pose continue, if anything, to increase
work is going forward at Shelby that
tends to confirm the original an
nouncement that the line would beb
built, this was to the effect that in
addition to supplying the Shelby Pipe
Line & Refining company with $500
barrels day, the new line would
carry all oil exported to the east,
south and west, eliminating the
branch line haul from Sunburst, the
terminus of the present Inc.
Suggesting that this is the pur-
pose of the company, it is now un-
derstood that nearly 100000 bar
rels of tankage will be Immediately
erected in Shelby by the Illinois.
The report is that 10 additional 3d.
900 barrel tanks have been ordered
and contract let for the erection of
one tank every FIVE days after their
arrival.
Among the rumors going the
rounds concerning the new pipe line
is one that finds favor among those
who see in the project evidence OF
plans for the erection of large re-
finery in or near Shelby in the near
future This rumor is supported by
another to the effect that a short
time before the decision was reach
ed to build the pipe line, a prelimi-
nary survey was made over a route
that would be followed by water
line from the Marias river into Shell
by, distance of four or five miles.

COURT MONDAY
ACTION OF STATE AGAINST SUM-
BURST REFINING COMPANY
rs SUBMITTED

Helena, June Argument were
heard by the supreme court Monday
| forenoon in the action instituted by
the attorney generals office against
the Sunburst Refining company, and
which has for it's purpose the recov-
Iering of judgment for the amount of
the gasoline taxes charged against
lit for seven quarterly periods under
the old gasoline tax law
In the original suit, which involved
the two cent gasoline tax, the Sun
burst had won out in the Montana
supreme court, which held that the
law was discriminatory. The attorney
general, then taking the view that
tional, it could not have repealed the
previous law imposing one cent
per gallon tax, brought suit to re-
cover judgment under the old law.
The case was decided against the
state in the district court of Lewis
and Clark county whereupon the
state appealed to the supreme court.
Seven Causes of Action
In it's complaint the state sought
Judgment upon seven causes of ac-
tion, one for each of the seven quar-
terly periods, aggregating $47,99S,
which includes the tax at one cent
per gallon and penalty of so per
cent.
Before the supreme court Monday
the matter was argued for the state
by A. H. Angstman, assistant attor-
ney general, and for the Sunburst

consumers of such fuel oils were paid
to the Sunburst company, which re-
