CHICAGO. April ga new national
anthem, great enough to take place
beside 1.-THE Star-spangled Banner,
has not yet been found, the National
Federation Of Music Clubs announced
last night.
A contest, in which nearly 1000
manuscripts were entered from every
State in the Union, Alaska, Hawaii,
England, India and France, failed TO
produce a melody of sufficient merit
to carry the famous poem of Katherine
Lee Bates, America the Beautiful.
-Four nationally known music critics,
DR.. Frank Damrosch Of New York
City. Frederick S. Converse of Boston,
Felix Borosky of Chicago and Dean
Peter X. Lutkin of Evanston, ILL.,, We're
instructed by the past presidents as
sembly of the federation to select
hymn only If it showed unmistakable
greatness.
They were told they We're not to
pick a winner from the deluge OF
manuscripts unless it was of magnl-
tude sufficient to sweep people on
their feet"
After giving careful consideration
to them 1861 offeringsl, we beg TO re-
port that although some of the set
tings showed fine musicianship. no
one impressed us as reaching the hlgh
standard called for, none was fully
adequate to the inspiring text said
the judges in their decision.
I'VE therefore recommend that no
award be made"
America the Beautiful" was writ
ten in 1903 by Miss Bates, for many
years professor of English literature
at Wellesley.
Printed in virtually every song book
published in. the last decade, the poem
has been sung to various old tunes and
many new ones 1t has been set TO
music more frequently than any hymn
in a hundred years.
Believing the numerous attempts to
set the poem to music have not met
with universal favor, the past presi'
dents assembly sponsored the Nation.

upon the provision of satisfactory
substitutes for the disposition of
disputes.
Controversies Need Cancellation.
I'VE are again reminded that the
most serious disputes are not infre-
quently of a character not admitting
of determination by court according
TO judicial standards. Controversies
which are extra-legal need the instru-
mantalties of conciliation and also the
organization in a higher and more ef-
fective form of the diplomatic re-
sources of adjustment in which the
demands of expediency, not to be ig-
nOred in controversies of this class,
may have their proper recognition.
In final analysis, the Locarno
agreements give ground for assur-
ance because the parties have already
at hand the Permanent Court of In
ternational Justice for disputes as
TO legal rights. and, for the compos-
ing of other differences, the organi-
cation of the Council of the League,
with membership of a character af-
fording practical guaranty that the
interests of each of the parties to
che agreements viii have appropriate
attention in formulating proposals
and reaching decisions. And thus. in
the extra legal sphere, diplomacy
with new institutions at it's command
will control the issue,
Success will depend upon the wis

macy, but 1t is difficult to see how

Should Consider Duties.
DIR. Higgins stressed the principle
that nations should be called upon to
consider their own duties in the fam
lily OF international relations instead
Of thinking so much about the impor-
tance of ther rights,
Instead of holding the concept that
international law means my Coun-
try's rights and your country's du-
ties" which he said obtained largely
today, a better attitude for the good
of the world. he suggested, would be
for nations to consider my duties so
you may enjoy your rights"
DR.. Higgins went to Christianity for
an example of conduct for states
or nations" The two great groups
of Christian doctrine promulgated in
early and later Christianity, he said
stressed duties instead of rights. The
first of these groups. he said, was
mostly negative, the other largely pos
tive, but both stressed duty.
Duties and rights" he said, "are
or ought to be correlative."

DIVORCES

1t is estimated that, for every
hundred marriages in the United
states, there are fifteen divorces.
These figures are startling. Peo-
pie should be more careful in
marrying and also in getting
divorces; or, we might say, that
women should exercise greater
discrimination in selecting and
licarding their husbands, freque-
atty finding the new ones no bet
ter than the old. One of our ac-
1uaintance said she married her
irst husband for love and the
second one for money, and got
fooled both times" You never

A MOUNTAIN PRISON
By R. P. Tiller.

only to be murdered by this cruel
band" Feeling that his life was
at stake, he lay moUionless on The
ground, and catching q few words
which were being uttered care
lessly by his captors.
After the elapse Of probably an
hour, he was roughly jerkeo
0 his feet by one of the
gang, and led a few steps dowr
the narrow path. Suddenly his
eyes rested upon rude cabin.
built of pole and covered with
slabs and bits of fallen bark. Or
all sides except a small entrance
at one corner, it was protected
by strong breastworks composed
of logs and stone, which gave
evidence that it was being occu-
pied by fugitives.
On being commanded to sit
down in front of the cabin, he
was surrounded by crowd of
beastly men. At such an inter
view his whole body shook with
fear. Uneasiness lay on his mind.
From where have you come.
and why have you molested US, y
roared a stern voice.
Il came here in search of game,
answered Boone, TIN a hunter"
You're a spy, and we're going
to keep you here until you tell US
your mission"
Il have no mission other than
being a hunter, I'm not a spy.
AS the sun began to sink low
in the west, Boone became rest
less. His thoughts fingered back
to his cabin home, and the loved
ones who were anxiously await
ing his return. He wondered to
what his capture was going to
determinate, and if he would be
permitted to go unframed. He
could not convince himself that
his comming into the hill had
been a grave offence on which
he deserved punishment. His
falling into their hands as a
prisoner was unexpected.
After somewhat of a lengthy
conference between themselves,
they returned to the spot where
Boone was sitting. By the expr-
essions OF cruelty and murder
which their faces pocessed, he
readily formed the conclusion
that his life had been thretened.
His thoughts came and vanished
as that of a nightly dream. His
mind acted as tho it was being
ushered by a powerful curren t.
During his short slumbering he
would find himself back in his
peaceful cabin, or telling some
one of his successful hunt, but
only to awake with a heavy heart,
and in the same critical condition.
He tried to believe that the scene
upon which he was looking was
not real, but alas! it could not be.
The one time beautiful young
face was beginning to show marks
of sorrow and fear, and the locks
of black curly hair which hang
about his forehead mad during an
overnight taken on their hue of
silvery gray.
When they had been seated
around Boone, and looking upon
his figure as if he was a priced
specimen, a rough but low voice
broke the silence saying" We
have a proposition for you which
will determine your fate, and we
are going to expect you to tell
US immediately"
WHAT" asked Boone, with
trem bling lips.
But give me your proposition, -"
demanded Boone again, somewhat
eager to know.
Your life will be spared only
on conditions that you join us and
remain here in this secluded spot,
if not then you'll be condemned to
die on yOur denial "
