Saxophone Now Used as
 Preventive of Crime

Elkhart, Ind, July 30 Op04oung America is safely blowing away us excessive and sometimes dangerous energy through the saxophone the sliding trombone and similar instru- ments. in the opinion of .. U. Greenleaf of Elkhart, president of the National Association of Band h. strument Manufacturers
 Tt is a serious problem with many parents in these days to ind wholesome methods of recreation for their children, and the band and orchestra furnish one solution MT. Greenleaf said.
 "They furnish an ideal outlet for the energies of the gang which might otherwise be expressed in ways not nearly so healthful. The growing interest in music among our young people will in my judg- ment, in few years make America q musical nation."

Troubled France Spent
 More on Amusements

More of French Quota
 Seek Homes in America

Paris, July 29 Pl-With the new quotas available for immigrants to the United States on July l, 1t was revealed at the American passport bureau that nearly half of the 4,oOQ French quota for the year had been taken. Last year at this time only few applications for visas were on file.
 The particular reason for the larger number is said by officials to be the larger number of servants being tai;en home by American tourists who have spent several months living in France in their own apartments where they had good French servants.

CAREERS SLIGHTED
 BY ROYAL TITLE
This Is What EnsliShmen Face
 Who Are Peers

London, July 30 dp - British public men need some sort of Lucky Stone league to protect them against losing the glory Of their early care.rS when they are converted in- to peers and assume lordly title.
 Lord Oxford and Asquith is an ex- ample. As plain "Mr. Asquith" he wa. known 10 everyone in the em- pirs. AS premier he had the great est glory which can come ot Brit ish subject. All other Asquiths and Askwiths took a back seat for the premier.
 Even after he left office at the beginning of the war he remained a great leader in the liberal party and ran neck and neck with Lloyd George as a prominent figure in Brit ish politics.
 "Lord Oxford' Small Identity
 But when plain Mir. Asquith was no longer able to withstand the Embellishments of a peerage and be- came Lord Oxford and Asquith, he began to slip. By degrees the As- ouith was lost in the newspapers and he became merely Lord Oxford.
 The name suggests the university, or the dictionary.
 That put him into the class with hundreds of lords who are merely lords by virtue of birth, because they have given literally to charities or distinguished themselves by public service. Also it robbed him of the right to sit in the house Of commons, and sitting in the house of lords is thankless task.
 Lloyd George Avoids Peerage
 Lloyd George has avoided a peer axe. He realizes that the house of commons is the forum which Is really important. Consequently he held an advantage over Lord Oxford and Asquith in the struggle they were having for supremacy In the liberal party.
 Lord Birkenhead is another who took a chance when he accepted nesraze. He had been Lord High chancellor of Great Britain. which is | sort of combination of the posts of president of the senate and chief tustice of the supreme court of the United States, and was ranked as one of Great Britain's ablest legal lights
 Staggering under the plebian name of F. F. Smith, he managed 10 lend brilliancy even to that name but when a peerage was tendered' he assumed the more high-sounolns title of Lord Birkenhead. By at- lack. on what he described as the xupidity and inactivity of the house of lords membership, however ne has kept himself in the hmellght through suggestions for It's reform.
 William E. Gladstone did not ac- cept a peerage He saw danger 10 a liberal politician in the assump- ion of the hobbies which member shin in the house of lords carries cent peerage. He saw danger to Income A peer for many years and as plain Mir. Balfour became one or Britain's greatest diplomats.
 Must Have Publicity
 The great majority of old peerages are held by men known only to read CTS of Burke's Peerage and Of the social and sporting columns or prominent British newspapers. lord is on the defensive, and must show great ability to attract atten- ton from the general public, and gain space in the press. Ramsay Mcdonald and Lloyd George hold universal fame but their light might be put under bushel were they to become peers and assume some hish-sounding name which not read ily associates itself with their actiVi- ties as premiers and party leaders.

other chapter of life grown sordid.
There is nothing pleasant In the lat

And yet sympathy for her is not en-

foolish mother took her to Broad

Whatever her follies. whatever her

spendthrift husband from the cleo

stand that can never be forgotten by
those who heard ana read 20 years

as IL with whitehot from. She had
no great chance after that, even had
she so willed. The man she saved

had better have ended in 1906. The
