CHILE-PERU ROW
NEAR CRISIS

A new diplomatic move TO pre-
vent complete breakdown Of ne
gotiations by the United States
Government to settle the dispute
between Chile and Peru over flu
ture possession of Tacna-Ari.ea was
forecast today.
Action of the Chilean Congress
in demanding that the proposed
puebescite be held was construed
here as final rejection of Secre-
tary KeIlogg's proposal that the
entire matter be settled by nego-
tiation.
Disturbing reports of anti-Ameri-
can feeling in Chile also reached
the Capital
After both Chile and Peru reg
istered strenuous objections 30 the
regulations for the registration Of
voters for the pIebesci.e, Secre-
tary Kellogg proposed the provinces
be neutralized or sold to a third
power.
His action was taken; it is un-
nerstood, because of the gravity of
the situation created by obstacles
raised to the holding of a fair pie
bescite, based on a 42-year. treaty.

PROBLEM RAISED
IN RADIO ROYALTY
Dill Amendment Makes Pay
ment of Copyrighted Music
Big Factor.

Just how much a broadcasting sta
lion should pay the owner Of musical
composition for the privilege of broad
casting the work is one of the DerpleN.
ing problems confronting Congress in
consideration of the amendment of the
copyright act submitted by Senator
Dill of Washington.
Although the prices to be paid have
been left blank by Senator Dill in his
proposed amendment, provision is
made that a scale of charges Nbe
authorized that would vary the fees,
according to the power used in trans
lnitting from the stations. Five classes
lf stations are suggested, those of not
more than 500 watts. those of from
SEQ to 1000 watts. from 1000 to 2.509
watts, from > 500 to 5000 watts ami
those over 5000 watts. The more
powerful stations would, of course,
pay the greater fees.
Time Another Problem.
a second problem which Is left up to
Congress by Senator Din is TO deter
mine the length in minutes of q single
rendition. According to the bin, ''the
continued broadCasting Of any copy
}ighted musical work for period OF
more than (blank) minutes shall be
considered an additional broadcastin
10 be paid for by the person broadcast
ing the said copyrighted musical WORK
ut the royalty rates as hereinbefore
liked for each broadcasting.
Under such an arrangement. the
owner of a copyrighted symphony
which requires 40 minutes for Il per-
formance would receive approximately
3 times the amount from a broadcast
rendition Of the composition that the
owner Of a popular song hit would re-
Ceive.
Notice Must be Given.
The duties of the broadcast station
manager, in compliance with the
royalty provisions of the Dill amend.
nent, are many. Upon deciding that
IL is desirable to broadcast a certain
copyrighted composition, notice must
he filed with the owner of the copy
right by registered mail.
During the time that the station is
on the air the manager is required TO
keep q written record of all copyright
ed compositions which are broadcast,
together with the time consumed by
each. On the twentieth day of each
month reports of the number of times
Zach copyrighted composition has been
broadcast must be submitted to the
Copyright owner, and payment, at the
rate to be established is due by the
twentieth day of the following month.
Owners of the copyrights of musical
compositions may, however, if they de-
sire, forbid the broadcasting of their
works by filing notice with the copy
right office.
1t is presupposed. of course, that
should the Dill amendment be enacted
by Congress copyright owners would
continue their organization. and
through blanket permissions and pay
ments eliminate much of the red tape
called for in the provisions of the bill.
As the majority of the copyright own
rrs are the publishers OF the compost
tions instead of the composers, such a
system would be fairly easily estab-
lished

The entertainment consisted of a Sc

dancers of this city. The list of group
dances included grand march and cir
Gle, old-feshioned waltz, old-fashioned

Music Sure for Mental Trouble

A medical journal has recently an
nounced the results of some expert
ments made to ascertain the relation
Of music and medicine.
One curious piece of news obtained
is that if a lively air is played on
harp or mandolin, a mans tired mus
cles regain their original vigor. The
music of violoncello, on the other
hand, has a precisely opposite effect.
in temporarily lessening the usual
strength and vitality of the nearer.
In nervous and impressionable peo-
pie, sad music in a minor key, such
as Chopin's Funeral March," actually
weakens the pulse and makes the
beating of the heart feebler and more
irregular.
An American doctor stated not long
ago that almost every mental trouble
could be cured by suitable selections
of classical music regularly admins

homicidal mania, nervous breakdown,
all had their corresponding air.

To break up the large wall spaces,
the decorator had them paneled
and covered with the smniest, cheer
sest wallpaper you can imagine.
1t was a sprawly floral design in
nile green, blue and apricot on a
warm corn-yellow ground. The
small border used to. outline the
panels was a little brighter and
richer but in the same combination
of colors. Each panel was planned
to fit a piece of furniture so there
were no ugly conflicting lines, but
at the same time they were ar
ranged to balance each other so
the room was restful and satisfy
ing.
The dainty, ruff1ed wolfe curtains
were apricot trimmed with bands
Of soft green muslin, and the green
bed spread and soft green rug made
charming setting for ivory painted
ffurniture. The parchment shade
was painted with a gay little de-
sign reminiscent of the wallpaper
border, and lined with a deeper
yellow so that the light at night
was warm and glowing. The use
of the warm colors made every
bit of light reflect yellow or some
form of it, and instead of being
dreary this bed room was the most
charming one in the house.
