100000 into the homes of Birmlng-
ham.
A local music study ciuD contributed
a grand piano, and each day this
piano is in almost constant use
Here one may sit and play over any
selection from the collection Of Sheet
music, choralS and oratorios, from
the nearby shelves, before taking it
home for study. Pictures of famous
musicians line the walls, and groups
of books of interest to music lovers
stand en- the shelves.
OF particular interest to the librar-
ian is the class OF people who have
used this room. A local business
man, music loving, but with no piano
in his temporary home. comes Tre-
quently, and drops the cares OF busi-
ness for several hours each week,
while he plays without interruption.
Two young foreigners, with love OF
music shining from the depths OF
their home hungry eyes, come regu-
lacly, one with his violin, and often
times visitors stop outside the door
of the music room and stand spell
bound while these lonely youths
bridge the distance to the homeland
with their art.
Music teachers use the room for
recitals; visiting musicians are in
vited to play there; study clubs
which feature music on their pro-
grams are offered the use Of the
room, and each day has seen greater
use of the room by persons who
would have no other place to crafty
their desires to play for even little
while.
Situated on the top floor of the
library building, the music cannot
disturb the readers on the lower
floors, and altogether the library
authorities Of Birmingham are de-
cidedly pleased with their venture,
and feel that it is certainly worthy
of emulation.

Whitman, composed by Roy Harris,
young Los Angeles composer, now in
Paris on a Guggenheim fellowship,
will be sung by the Womens Uni
versity Glee club of New York this
season.
/ Mr.. Harris's "Andante" from an
unfinished symphony received an
ovation last year at the Hollywood
Bowl, where it was played under the
baton of Willem von Hoogstratten,
after it's premiere performance by the
same director at the LeWisohn Stad-
ium in New York city.
Among other compositions, cham
Der music suite has become known
along the Pacific coast as played by
the Zoellner string quartet.
Processes of tonal photography,
demonstrated by actual photographs
of the voices OF great artists, as well
as by pictures of the voices of stu
dents in the college of music of the
University of Southern California, are
being exhibited in the studio-labora-
tory of Mr.. Arnold Wagner, professor
of singing and public school music
at the Trojan institution, by use OF
a tonoScope and projectoScope.
! Prof. Wagner is just completing
several years of research work along
the lines of vocal anatomy, tone
photography and the psychology Of
music, and is the author of "The
Emotional Side of Singing" series
Of articles on the psychology of
singing.
This year marks the 25th ami
versary of the death of Edward Hage-
rup Grieg-but his music is not dead
and never will be. His predecessors
were content to follow in the FOOT
steps of the great German composers
notably Mendelssohn, but Grieg's
genius enabled him to create some
thing. The result was new and
characteristic Scandinavian music
which has gained a permanent place
among modern classics.
] The new Birmingham, Ala, public
/ library has an interesting feature
that is probably unique in the library
world. When the magnificent new
: $750000 building was erected, pro-
vision was made for a music room,
which is open to the general public
for practically unrestricted use.
! A commodlous room was set aside
on the fourth floor of the building,
fitted with specially designed shelving
on which is stored in easily accessible
boxes, a splendid collection of sheet
music and mounted pictures OF which
the library last year sent more thai

Charles Mayo of Pomonok turned
in an so which is considered on the
border line for the qualifying mark

164 for the SO holes of qualifying
play will be good enough to get in

Archie Compston, IS; George Dun
can, 50; Jim Braid, So; Arthur
Havers, 81; Joshua Crane, the Bos-
tonian. turned in a 80, which will
probably be fatal to his chances for

The II made by NJ. Golias, whose

out and a 81 for the homeward
journey. NJ. Golias took three puts
three times. which kept him from

Young Edwin w. Haley, the Amer

Jim Barnes of New Rochelle, who
was a few pairs behind Haley, played
his irons dead to the greens, putted

No Signs of War
Fears are expressed in some news
papers that the murder may mark
the beginning of fresh period OF
lawlessness in Ireland, perhaps
renewal of civil war. OF this, how
ever. there is no present indication,
and as far as reported here. the
only excitment in Ireland yesterday
arose from Indignation over the as
sassination.
Special dispatches suggest the
probability that political motives in
spired the assassination. The special
correspondent of the Daily Mail.
who reported the recent elections in
the Free State declares: 1T is i'm.
possible to say from which section
came the vice-president's death
warrant. He had enemies through
out all the countries"
Always Fought Back
The enmity he awakened is
ascribed in many dispatches to the
utter fearlessness with which he
followed any course he believed riglr
in the interests Of the government.
1t Is recalled that when impreca-
tons were hurled at him, he took
the challenge swiftly and dashed his
opponents with fury.
The republican army council and
headquarters staff, says the Dublin
correspondent of the Daily Mail, has
disavowed knowledge of the shoot
ing and repudiated responsibility. A
statement by the adjutant general is
quoted as saying: I'VE feel GER
tain that the responsibility when
tracked home will not involve any of
our volunteers"
Narrow Escape Last May
1t is recalled by the Westminster
Gazette's correspondents that O'Hig-
gins and President Cosgrave had a
narrow escape last May when a
smoke bomb was hurled at them
after they had been Kissed by re-
rublicans while addressing a meet
ing. Brigadier General DAILY, who
was walking with them, caught the
bomb and prevented an explosion.
Among the many interesting
stories Of the life OF O'Higgins is
the one about how. although a close
friend of Rory O'Connor, he re-
fused to comply with the pressure
brought to bear on him to grant a
reprieve after O'Connor was SEN
fenced to death as leader of the
Four Courts rising In 1922. AS
minister of justice. O'Higgins decId-
ed this was incompatible with his
Office. He almost collapsed when
OConnor's will, read after he had
been executed. showed all his DOS
session were left to the O'Higgins
family.
