LAND OFFICE REPORTS
Recommends Grazing Districts to BE
Leased.

BIZ United Press
WASHINGTON, Dec. 15.-Graz-
ing districts on public lands should
be created by Congress and leased
to stock raisers, the commissioner
of the general land office recon-
mended in his annual report filed
with the secretary Of interior.
New lands are needed to meet
present day conditions, the commits
sioner pointed out. He favored re-
peal of the stock-raising homestead
and desert land laws on the grounds
that the settlement of such areas are
no longer advantageous.
Recommendation also are made
that all public land activity in Alaska
be consolidated under one head in
stead of the authority being vested
In a number of different authorities.

THE FRISCO DEAL

The Frisco railroad operates far distant from New England. but we cannot afford 10 be so provincial as not to take q vital interest in its incipient acquisition of the Rock Island system, the two combined forming one Of the largest rail- roads on earth.
 The days of railroad merging on large scale evidently has arrived and the reluctance of some large systems against forcible annexa- tons, as ultimately possible under the transportation act, may disap- pear under the spur of that neces- sity which arises from the stimu- Jus of competition.
 The entire deal sounds like q page from the railroad era before trust busting began and rail mag mates thought more of gobbling uI Independent lines than of efficien handling of the properties.

such noises, nothing but refuge to another tcchnlcality may be ablo to stop the nuisance, This being tho situation, why not force tho own CTS of rcgonora,iyo sets 10 bo li' censed as broadcasting stations?
 Manitcstly they could not got such license and the tcchnicality thus would operate to put them out of business, Yet the only difference between q real brondcasilng station and rcgcnera'ivo set is that tho former hroadcasts undiluted music while the rcgtneratiyo crnnks broadcast whistling solos,
 Of course, it is possible 10 opcr. ate rcgcncrutive set without broadcasting noise; but it requires the combination of gentleman and uncommon sanity, l., Is much easier with these sets merely to twist the dials like an Nncouth wild person, and that Is the way fl usually is done.
 As the situation now stands, the regcnerative sets appear 10 be ir tho majority; at least, judging from their output of noises, they arc very numerous, Some of their own CTS must be gentlemen, else radio reception undoubtedly would bt nearly an impossibillty.
 One hears much Of the future O. the radio industry; but one of tho prime requisites of the times is tt eliminate the broadcasting O whistling noises by selfish anC thoughtless owners Of regenerativ' sets.

THE HOTEL FIRE

The disastrous hotel fro in AL. lentown, Pa called attention to tho need for better safeguards against fire in public inns, Some states are more particular in this respect than others; Pennsylvania evidently Is one Of tho states where the numerous travellers who put up" for the night at one Of q towns hostclries must take inorli- nate chances.
 Adequate fro escapes are neccs- sary in all buildings that are not modern enough to have fire proof exits from within the building, Since tho Iroquois theatcr disaster in Chicago about two decades ago all theaters have been provided with a multitude Of exits and as bestos curtains are the rule. The hotel business has not been simi- larly safeguarded in all states.
 Tn some states there must be knotted ropes reaching to the ground In every room. so that ir case of dire emergency patrons would have a chance for safety by sliding down the rope. In other states the fire exits must be nu' merous enough to insure safety.

THE sENATE,s PINCH

The Senate of the United states today faced the possibility of clo- ture for the second time in Its his tory AS this was written the chances were about even as 10 whether the "gaG rule" would be enforced. the later details, Of course. will be found In the news columns.
 The cloture rule which Is one permitting two-thirds of the Senate to limit debate of each sen ator to one hours discussion of a matter under consideration - was adopted in 1917, or during the war; when it was necessary to do away with technical vcrbosity In order 10 make headway, Now it Is threatened as Q means of bringing the discussion on the World Court to fruition.
 After all that has been said on this subject, any senator that can not say all he knows in an hours time ought 10 be shoyeling coal.

ENDORSE THAN DANCE"

There are worse things than the dance, according to Dr, w, H. Phelps, editor of a religious publi- cation in Detroit. And so he con- tinues: "The night automobile un- doubtedly is turing more girls to immortality than the dance ever did, and that is saying a great deal"
 Much has been blamed upon the automobile. but the charges it pro- vides an easy getaway for criminals and is a danger to weak-minded girls who indulge in joyriding with male companions comprise the worst of the category.
 In contemplating these things however, 1t is well 10 remind ones self of the axiom that society can not be shackled with the responsi' bility of protecting fools from theil own folly. The way to make auto mobile riding at night safe is tt train the minds Of the young be fore they indulge in the allure ments of this species of joyriding
 The automobile, like the dance is here to stay, and both arc saf' 10 pure minds.

REGENERATIvE SETS

Radio listeners can vouch for the fact that annoyanCcs caused by re- generative sets still exist in this city and the same condition no doubt obtains elsewhere. Whenever the owner Of a regeneratiHe set turns his dial to tune in anywhere he causes whistling noises 10 be emitted through the sets of all other persons within q large terri tory. It is a nuisance that ought to be eliminated by law. Many q good night for radio reception is partly spoiled by the ruthlessness Of re- gcnera'iyc set owners.
 Operation of such sets should be rarrcd by law, but in this country, where there arc more laws on th" books than in all other civilized countries combined, our lawmaking authorities feel as helpless about regeneratiyc sets as they do about coal strikes.
 In England there is law against their use and anyone operating such set is dealt with as harshly as he deserves. They are not manu- factured in England and their sale is prohibited. As consequence radio receivers in the British Isles have much less 10 worry abou' than on this side.
 There being SO much technicalit, involved in the law in America wore it is apparently still held the' i tho owner Of q regcncrative got hal the right to broadcast his unmusi cal noise, that drastic acioi against them IS still far distant. l being a case where technicalitie about the right 10 own and operat' q noise broadcasting instrumen seems more important 10 the lav than the rights of the receivers 0

 Tho public is not deceived as to the relative merits of music by other Americans either, some small American compositions were 0vcrdonG in their time and havo suffered as q consequence, There arc the works of Ethclhert Nevin, for instance, His song, "The Ros- ary" was seized upon us a won dertul example of beauty and will live forever It is anyonc's priyi. logc 10 ind un art song that satis- tics so completely; the only trouble about it being that everybody knows it foo well, And there are his instrumental pieces from the rayishing and individual "Narcis- sus" in the "Wator Scenes" on downward. NcNn did not name his works "Op. SG, No. G&G," but chose good titles; hut that has nothing 10 do with the music. AS Leslie stuart, tho composer of "Flora- dora" of q bygonc day once point cdly put it, there is q great deal Of blah and cant in music, includ- ing consilcrabln hcro-worship.
 Ernest Schcllins is an American composer of cmincnce; he lives down in New Jersey and stcadfast- ly refuses 10 chase dollars; which is ono way of saying he persists in writing remarkable music irrespec- tive of how few shellcls accrue as Il result. In other words, he is one of those who does not submcrgc ideals under mammon. His orchestra fantasy, "A Victory Ball. is re. garded by eminent directors as the greatest of American orchestral works. Schclling fought with the American army in France and wrote with conviction and power He has the satisfaction Of knowing his great effort is being played and admired considerably, And that is something for an American to at- tain that is much harder than il looks, even in America, Indeed some American composers and ex' ecutants, as well as singers, have attained reader recognition il Europe than in America. Such thing should not be possible.
 1T some individual from Mars ol some other planet could reach thi earth and hear our music for tn first time he ill all probabilit! would not for moment be II doubt as to the relative merits o the works of Foote, Mcdowell Nevin, Schclling or Cecil Burleigh whose unique settings of the Negr' spirituals have captivuted Europ as well as America.
