Movies Now Relieve
Music Pupils Tedium

! Rochester, N. Y, Mar. S--(AP)--
The youngest who has no liking
! for music lessons but finds keen de-
light in the movies, would find the
agony of the lesso.l reduced and the
pleasure of the movie augmented
were he to attend this institution
where the two are combined.
! The lessons are given in a min
iature motion picture theater. and
| the embryo musicians, as he prac-
tees, can gaze simultaneously upon
instrument and pictures. More than
! that, he can make his own music
for the pictures, and possibly select
the pictures to suit his mood and
his music.
| In the Eastman School Of Music,
a department of the University of
; Rochester, a course Is given for
motion picture organists. OF course
there Is some work in connection.
The wouldbe organists must study
! technique, theory, take piano les
sons, learn the elements of harmony
and acquire for themselves an ex-
| tensive repertoire Of selections.
But the movies are underlying and
essential, ana the StuQenLS Spenu no
(! little time each week in playing an
organ in a miniature movie theater.
| There is a tiny screen at one end
of the auditorium upon which are
thrown films of various types taken
| from the schools library of seventy
reels-scenics, news reels, cartoons,
feature pictures and the like. About
a dozen seats accommodate the
audience" usually members of the
class.
Across the rear Of the hall Is a
, desk for the teacher, and at one
side is the practice motion picture
organ, with all the trick stops"
/ which produce Orchestral effects"
to suit the action of the picture.
! Not only must the student learn
! to use the motion picture organ to
its fullest extent and to acquire a
repertoire. but he must also learn
| the difficult but fascinating art OF
: Improvisation. Then he must be
able to supply the necessary accom-
| paniment for solists; to develop the
| theme Of the picture in music with
| conference and emphasis; to know the
| practical mechanics not alone of his
organ, but of the theater itself, the
psychology of the audience, the writ
| ing of scenarios and cues and build
up within himself general theatrical
! atmosphere.

American Men Not Up
To Physical Standard

Berkeley, Cal, Mar. S-(AP)-Al-
though college students have fairly
high degree Of physical fitness, as a
whole American men are unprepared
to meet the common physical emer-
gencies and demands of life."
This is the conclusion of r. L.
Kleeberger, chairman of the depart
ment of physical education of the
University of California.
1.-THE inability of most Of our
young men Of today to use the power
of their arms. shoulders and middle
body is surprising" he states, and
"the danger from this is greater to
the race than the loss in thepower of
navigation creditable to the automo-
bile"
Brain matter cannot be built by
physical exercise, Kleeberger believes,
but he thinks the present generation
should be developed sufficiently to
enable a man to act quickly and ac-
curately in case of an emergency.

Congress Approves
Committee on Bids for
Leasing Muscle Shoals

Washington, March SLAP
Congress oday approved appointment
of a joint committee to negotiate bids
for private leasing of Muscle Shoals,
A resolution drafted to carry out
a recommendation of President Cool
idge already adopted by the house
was accepted by the Senate 81 to 26,
and sent to conference.
The Senate added two amendments.
One, by Senator Caraway, Democrat,
Arkansas, would require that surplus
power developed at the big wartime
project be distributed equitably to
states adjoining Alabama. The other
by Senator Lenroot, Republican. Wis
consin, would give the proposed joint
committee until April rs to submit
a proposal to Congress for lease OF
the project, instead Of April /, as
voted by the House.
Proponents of the resolution, led
by Senator Heflin. Democrat, Ala
bama, fought vigorously for It's
adoption without amendment to
avoid the necessity of conference ad-
justment with the House and exped-
ite disposal of a long pending prob
lem. Opponents of private operations
fought fruitlessly but with equal Wig
or to attach amendments to the reso-
luton that would nullify it's pro-
ject.
The joint congressional committee
provided for in the resolution would
comprise three members OF the Sen
ate agriculture committee and a like
number from the House military
committee, would be authorized to
negotiate for private lease of the
properties for not more than DO
years and would direct to reject any
offer less renunerative to the govern
ment than that made by Henry Ford
several years ago. Any bid approx
ed by the committee would be sugject
to the action of Congress beforme II
could be made effective.
Party lines made little part in the
final roll call. Thirty four Republic
cans and seventeen, Democrats voted
for the resolution, while thirteen
Democrats. twelve Republicans and
the one Farmer Labor senator voted
against it.
