Douglas and Bisbee delegations end
ing when the Douglas group with
drew from the convention and re-
turned to their homes.
E. G. Porter of Douglas was named

How Row Started.
The organization meeting ended in
an open rupture between the Bisbee
and Douglas contingents.
Upon being interviewed, one of the
Douglas delegates told the following
story of this meeting:
''It has been custom of many
years standing to let. the chairman
ship alternate between the towns OF
Bisbee and Douglas. Following this
custom, John Bowen was given the
united support of tho Douglas dele
cation at the meeting held in Doug
las two years ago, because of the
fact that he was the choice of ma
jority of the Bisbee delegates Con-
sequently the Douglas delegates went
to Bisbee yesterday expecting that
the time honored rule would be OBJ
served and that the Douglas men
would be permitted to select their
choice for chairman, who would in
turn be given the united support OF
the Bisbee delegation.
"The meeting was opened by the
tials. Whom this committee had re-
ported back, Sam Yarnell addressed
the chair and states that whereas 1T
had been the custom for many years
to let the party chairmanship alter
nate between Douglas and Bisbee
and it being Douglas turn under this
rule to select a chairman, he moved
that a recess be granted to allow the
Douglas men to caucus for the pur-
pose of making known their choice
for chairman. This request was grant
ed, and after a recess of 10 minutes
s. P. Applewhite stated to the meet
ing that r. L. Tummins was the
unanimous choice of Douglas for
chairman, and moved that he be
nominated. Whereupon c. G. Woods
of Warren arose and nominated Ed
Porter of Douglas. Upon the nominal
ton of Porter both Applewhite and
Cauzy addressed the meeting and
stated that Porter was entirely ac-
ceptable to the Douglas delegation

Of CREW DIE
lBy Dispatch A. P. wirel

WESTBURY, N ~, Sept.
81. - Disaster struck down
the giant Sikorsky biplane
S-35 within two minutes
after its attempted hop off
today for a nonstop flight
from New York to Paris.
A mass Of twisted wreck
age and the charred bodies
Of Charles w. Clavier, radio
operator, and Jacob Islam
off, mechanic, tonight were
the tragic aftermath of
what was to have been one
of the most daring ventures
ever attempted in the his
tory Of aviation.
Captain Rene Fonck, the
commander of the flight,
and Lieut.. Lawrence Will
liam Curtin, U. S. N, navi-
gator, saved their lives by
scrambling from the plane
an instant before it burst
into flames.
The flight which it had been hoped
would take Captain Fonck and his in
trepid companions on 3,000-mile trip
across the Atlantic, ended in tragedy
when the monster airplane, carrying a
record weight of $4,000 pounds, was
unable to lift itself from the ground
and crashed over an embankment on
Roosevelt field. There was an instant
flare of flames and black clouds of
smoke billowed to the sky. Trapped in
side the cabin of the plane, Clavier and
Islamoff perished almost instantly. A
crowd of more than 1000 that had
cheered the flyers two minutes before,
stood helplessly by, awe-struck, unable
even to attempt a rescue of the two
trapped men, while $4,000 gallons of
gasoline in the plane burned with the
int ty of an inferno. Eighteen
months of work spent in building an
expected super-plane for strength and
endurance in long distance flying had
gone up in smoke within 15 minutes
after the craft had roared down the
field. More than 100000 had been
spent in building the craft, and Amer
lea and France were to have. shared in
the laurels had its flight been success
full.
The exact cause of the disaster may
never be known. A slightly unfavorable
wind was conceded to have handicap
ped the heavily weighted biplane in it's
attempted take-off, but wrecking of
the planes rear landing gears when 1T
passed over a rough spot near the end
of the runway was ascribed as the i'm
mediate cause. Unable because of this
drag to accelerate its speed to rise into
the air, the plane dived over 25-foot
embankment on the u w y,
plunged distance of about 100 yards
and then crashed The right wing had
tilted downward and the planes right
landing wheel was crushed.
The plane was speeding at 65 miles
an hour before the mishap and the two
men in the cabin had no chance to, es-
cape. Captain Fonck and Lieutenant
Curtin were imperilled by the three
great propellors that continued to
whirl after the crash.

caught fire Immediately. By the time

Unionism Helps
/. Workers Welfare

To much emphasis cannot be plac-
ed upon Importance of trade unions
to the welfare of the workers and So
ciety In general. No wrong can be
righted or ideal realized without the
driving power which comes from
unity through organization.
Men have wasted their lives in
futile petitions for improved condi-
tions without achieving any success
Not until men organized and general
ed the power to compel redress were
their hopes realized. Again and again
men must be shown that there is no
royal road to better day and that
progress can only come as the result
of the application of considerable
energy to the task of organization.
Those who control the lives of the
wage earners will not surrender that
control voluntarily. They will only
yield when they are compelled to
yield by a power intelligently direct
ed.
The industrial autocrat may conceal
his mower and exercise caution when
the workers are aroused, but behind
the velvet glove of his "benevolence"
is the iron fist. lie fills his plant
with spies while he assumes pater-
nalistic attitude with his company un-
ion, stock ownership and bonus
schemes.
Back of all of his behavior, how
ever, is the determination to control.
He objects to the workers having a
voice in determining the conditions of
labor, the one thing which distin-
guishes a free man. No man can be
free who exercises no control over
the means whereby he lives. Organ
ization brings in some measure such
control.

Canadian Falls will be left.
Fight against the lakes to the
gulf waterway has centered on the
diversion of water at Chicago. OPP
ponents argue that lake levels will
be lowered and lake, commerce
jeopardized. This Is not true. De-
spite diversion, submerged dams in
Niagara and st. Clair rivers win
raise the level of the lakes three
feet or more. Revenue estimated
at $18,000,000 will be added to lake
commerce by enlarged capacity Of
vessels. Decrease in freight rates
will mean vastly augmented pros

Here's How Music Is Made.

Since the first musical instrument
ceived there have been hundreds of different
kinds evolved most Of which have long since
been forgotten. All, however, have been based on
three methods By which musical sound may be
produced One is by vibrating strings. another by
vibrating bodies either hollow or solid set into
motion by blows In the first, the strings or cor
responding material are set into vibration by being
rubbed, plucked struck; in the second the air
columns in the tubes of various lengths may
either vbrate themselves or the air currents
may set into vibration thin tongues of reed, or
metal In the mouthpieees of the instruments, or,
they may cause to vibrate the lips of the players
pressed against the mouthpiece, while in the
third the bodies which are set into motion by
blows may consist of almost any substance
stretched skins, parchments pieces of wood, or
metal and may be of any size or shape. In the
modern orchestra, these methods are represented
In the string section, the wind section made up
of "woodwinds and brasses," and the percussion
section.
II is not without probability that the first
musical instrument was primitive form of drum,
although the flute in its earliest forms dates
back to two or three thousand years before the
Christian era Rapping or pounding on something
Is almost an instructive emotional outlet, and in
the childhood of the race such instructive outlet
probably gave rise to some forerunner of the pres
ent percussion instruments. It was music Of
sort but it was crude. harsh and discordant-to
modern ears at least as is most Of the music
found in savage tribes today.
The horn was another instrument that made its
appearance early. The very word, "horn," used to
designate the great family of wind instruments
holds the suggestion of its origin There Is every
.eason for believing that the earliest musicians
Utilized the crude horns Of beasts for their nstru
nents and to this day the shosfar Is blown Ia

viii Keep Relics in
Old Holvrood Palace

The ancient palace of Hollywood
house holds the proud tradition of be-
ing the royal palace of the Scottish
kings. David l, in 1925 founded an
abbey in Edinburgh and named it Holy
Rood. The monastery, which was
built in the Norman and early Gothic
styles, was dissolved in Henry WIS
time and the chapel became a parish
church. James II of England made it
a chapel royal in 1857, but it began to
fall into ruins in 1868.
The adjoining palace, begun by
James ~ in 1901, was used as the
residence of the king until the union.
The present king and queen of Eng
land make it their abode when visit
ing Edinburgh Now a trust has
been established to preserve the many
articles of historical interest gathered
beneath the roof of the ancient palace,
and the trust is empowered to add to
this collection. -Kansas City Times

Bagpipe First of the ..Moderns'

The first really modern instrument is the bag
pipe, which came into prominence in Scotland
about the time Columbus discovered America. 1t
is regarded as modern because this instrument to-
day is essentially what it was when first orgi-
mated. While bagpipes had been known In both
Ireland and England, the Scotch did what the
Others failed to do--they made the bagpipe ma
tional institution, and today there is instru-
ment so intimately associated WITH none so typi-
cal Of, a people, as the bagpipes of the Scotch
The Sixteenth century also saw the coming of the
serpent cup-mouthpiece instrument The ser
pent marks the first attempt except for the an
Client form Of the trombone, to get more than one
progression OF tones from the same tube. 1t is
the direct pr0genitor of the keyed bugle, and
therefore the ancestor of all valve and key nstru
ments in use today.
Early in the Seventeenth century came the hunt
ing horn, and toward it's close, the chaumeau
which laid the foundations for the Development Of
what we know today as the clarinet The inven-
ton in 1880 of the valve for introducing different
lengths of tubing in brass instruments as to
give wider range of notes. and the perfection
a little later of the piston valve by Antoine Sax
who later invented the saxophone, made possible
musical instruments we know them today.
The saxophone continues to hold unique place
among musical instruments in that being brass
instrument 1t has mouthpiece which contains a
reed like woodwind. It's voice is therefore a
blending of the tone qualities of both the reed and
the horn.
Efforts in more recent years have been devoted
largely to improving existing instruments and
adapting them to special requirements of the day.
The perfection of the hydraulic process in the
making of instruments has all but revolutionized
the industry and the human element has prac-
tically been done away with in their manufacture.
The mechanical precision with which band instru-
ments are manufactured today makes it possible
for the most inexperienced youngster to secure an
instrument that is many times superior to any
played by the master artist Of the seventies and
eighties.

The Horns Have Their Day.

With the rise Of the Roman empire in the world
picture, there was decided change in the style
and popularity of instruments. There a trend
away from the string instruments and more
towards the horn type Of instrument. The reason
for this Is not hard to find. String instruments
were found unsatisfactory for military purposes.
They not only lacked carrying power. but also
did not force the emotional reaction that would
lead an army to battle. Consequently the trumpet
and the drum came into use the trumpet
retaining something of the shape of the natural
horn although it was made of copper and
sometimes of bronze. Two instruments Of this
period stand out. One the lituus, sort of
trumpet used by the Roman cavalry. This was
nearly. five feet long with the bell turned back
toward the performer after the fashion of
huge, long-stemmed pipe. The buccina, remotely
similar to the modern helicon in that 1t
curved In circle and was carried about the
body of the performer, was probably the ancestor
of the modern trombone Both instruments pos
sessed a martial quality of tone which was used
to good effect wherever the Roman armies en-
gagged In combat.
Contact with the Saracens through the Cru
sades brought Europeans a knowledge Of strange
eastern instruments, principally the tom-tom In
one form or another, and bells
The Fifteenth century finds wide use of a queer
instrument called the may horn. This consists Of
piece Of bark twisted into the shape of funnel,
into the narrow part Of which was fitted short
section of marsh reed. These instruments were
made and played upon By the country folk much

Find Music Everywhere.

1t is interesting to contrast the music Of old
and the place it holds in the national life of today
In o1den days. the playing of a musical instru-
ment, like reading and writing, was accom-
plishment possible only to a limited group of mem
bers of the leisure class Of those whose duties
required it of them. Group music, to be sure, was
often in evidence before royalty and at the mill
tary and social affairs but for the average person,
it was more or less of an event, Today, it may
be said that nothing is begun or ended without
music Of some sort In school, in church, In lodge,
In meeting in theater, in convention music Is
closely intertwned with all these activities. The
radio, photograph, music memory contests, school
band tournaments and similar events have made
music an intimate experience Of every man, woman
and child, so that there is more active participa-
ton In music today than at any other time in the
history of the world.
Extraordinary evidence Of the value present-day
society places upon music is to be seen from the
status of this subject in public schools Music
is now included in the curriculum of large mum
Der of grade schools. half Of our colleges and uni
versities and 1t has been estimated that about
million high-school boys and girls each year receive
some sort OF musical training.
