DEVELOPMENT OF MUSIC

Of the influences affecting daily life that of music, both instrumental and vocal plays important in its general effect upon character building while at the same time affordng avenue through which it may be ex- pressed in terms of pleasure.
 Our earliest vocal music dates from the cradle song crooned by the little mother when the shades of ing gathered about the humble little abode high up in the cliffs It came as soothing balm to the of the fretful child. And thus it has down through the ages the first solace of The cradle song ures up composite picture first of the sainty mother then the happy days of childhood with all the joys of home and their influences throughout fe In later years the same agency gave opportunity for expression of something within for which spoken and nharmon- ious words seemed inadequate.
 Thus we have associated: mother love- childhood joys and beautiful harmony all of which sustaining quail ties amid the hury bury of workaday fe One turns to song to express happiness and again of un- burdening the heart when startle; to in meditation with the beauties of nature and drive away tedium of mundane affairs
 Too much importance cannot be attached to the de- veopment of music in youth. It many problems for which laws have proved inadequate nature re- fined by music go far off the beaten track of moral perfection and it's force when brought to bear upon the unmusca exerts a powerful influence for good.
 It happy thought to develop the musical talents of Seward and the efforts of those who abong to this end should receive every encouragement and assistance

WASHINGTON AND RELIGION

Despite recent efforts the part of popular writers to paint George Washington in the light of bosterous, free and easy going character and lacking the element of piey the records fail to sustain this assault upon the Father of His Country
 In his admonition to those who were to take up the dinal truths which apply today as they applied when erwoven in the fabric of the nation "Of all the dsposi ons and habits which lead political prosperity religion and morality indispensable supports In vain would that claim the tributes of patriotism who should e bor to subvert these great pillars of human happiness these est props of the duties of and citizens The politician, equally with the pious man, ought to spect and cherish them And let with caution indulge the supposition that morality be maintained without reigion.'

 Back in 1892, 1,2SO reindeer were imported into Alaska from Siberia. Since htat time, the number has in- creased to over 60O,OOO The depart ment of the Interior estimates there are grazing lands in Alaska for about 4,OO0,000 reindeer One big phase of the McCord development plan is to shift the reindeer herds over into the moss ranges near the upper end of the Alaska Railroad. This will provide additional business for the governments $60,000,00o rail- road. Shipments will be made into Seward and thence out by steamer to the world markets.
 Tn Southwestern Alaska, including g the Aleutian Islands, the Senate conl- mittee on public lands and surveys reported there are thousands of acres suita ble for the grazing of cat tie and sheep. This region is capa- be of supplying year-round range for the grazing of livestock. At pres ent these lands are not generally used for grazing"
 The wash of the Japanese current keeps the temperature n this section above the winter point the year around.

WHITE ANTS CAUSE
 SERIOUS DAMAGES
Nebraska and KilBas Buildings
 Are Injured

Lincoln. Neb., May 13 (UP)- Termites, destructive and dreaded insects, have laid siege to many building1 in scattered sections of eastern Nebraska during the past six months. and the department of entomology. University of Nebraska. has had its attention called to the ravages of the insects, commonly re- ferred to as white ants"
 Greatest damage in Nebraska was done at Julien, where . school build ing was nearly demolished by the insects before their presence was discovered. and where cyanide gas was resorted to in an effort to ex- terminate them. A second vtsita- tion has been reported. but is be- lieved to be duo to eggs already laid in tho lumber. and not . seri- ous outbreak.
 Termites work on untreated lum- Der in frame buildings, and bore en- tirely from within, hollowing out timbers until they are mere shells. freuently, before discovered. If dis covered in time, the entomology de- partment at Nebraska university be- lieves the insects can easily be ex- terminated.
 In Kansas, according to govern ment reports. the insects have laid waste entire fields. and infest the Atlantic. seaboard from Richmond. Va, to Florida. although the species there differs somewhat from that in the north.
 Creosote and cyanide gas are usually employed in combating them. although the best precaution against them is use of treated lum- Der in building.
 Termites are destructive only whom found in great numbers. and this Is the first time within the memory of old inhabitants of this state. when they have been present in such quantity.

lkLANLEADER IS
 E.. ACTIVE IN CELL
hldan,a Saceseds in Keeping ;Ss Stits Stlrd Up

? 1ndianApoliss May 13 NoWhen state prison gates swung shut in 1925 on D. c. Stephenson, Indiana prepared to forget the l4-year-old &dventurer who had been for brief but vivid day its most spectacular citizen.
 A life sentence for murder. in con- nsction with the abduction and death of an Indianapolis girl, had cut short the role of Hoosier War wick in which the blond and chunky Steve" had cast himself.
 But 1S months have passed, and Stephenson Is the liveliest lifer In- diana ever had. Already he has made more trips outside the prison than most convicts make in . life time. His activities. real or ru- mored. attract as wide interest as when he ruled the Indiana Ku Klux Han.
 He has taken with him to his cell tho atmosphere of mysticism and power which he began to cre- ate seven years ago. when he left . job as bond salesman and coal dealer in Evansville to rise with the fortunes of the Ku Klux Klan. He startled his 300,00o Hoosier sub- jects of the imperial realm in those days by dropping from the skies in n airplane to address their mid night meetings In his regal vest rnents. Colleagues spoke mysteri- ously of his spy and propaganda system by which he could set afoot in every Italian county, between noon and supper time. whatever order he wanted spread. S
 The mood of mastery he created then has kept him. from being re- garded as an ordinary prisoner. Officials of the penitentiary have denied him visitors and have pun- ished him in solitary confinement. The prison board has ruled that no life inmate may be liberated by par don or parole within IS years of in- generation, hoping to allay rumors that Steve" would shortly be re- leased.
 Three guards have been dismissed for smuggling notes from Stephen son to friends outside the walls. Prison authorities have resisted in vain writs demanding his presence in court.
 Thrice in 1s months Stephenson has been outside tho prison in the garb of a free man. Twice he ap- peared in court to press for free- dom. Once. with the eyes of the state upon him, he was taken to Indianapolis to testify before . grand jury about alleged political corruption. The jury was told that Stephenson could and would talk of wrongdoing in high places. but 1t got no information from the man who remarked. when he was con- victed of murder. that he would talk when tho time comes."
 Ostensibly he is today without money, friends or power. But ioosierdom generally harbors the belief that Stephenson is not yet re- duced to the status of "an ordinary lifer" and that he will be back on the front page more than once be- fore he fades from Indiana's con- scfousnesS

CRIMINAL LAWS
 PROVE FAILURE This Is Opinion Expressed by
 Justice Taft

Washington. May 13 tF-Chief Justice Taft asserted that adminis- tration of thS criminal laws in re- cent years had been a failure"
 Addressing msmbers of the Amer ican Law Institute at their annual meeting here yesterday, Mir. Taft said. No lower of his country can have gone through the last three or four years without having been stirred deep in his heart over the failure of the administration of our criminal law"
 II am no pessimist about that. however. some people may think" he added. but think one of the grounds for being optimistic in re- gard to it is the deep feeling that has evidenced itself all through the country.
 If you offer. as you are going to. an admirable code to the legislatures of the states. you will Ind there are majorities in every legislature who will be delighted to be instructed and to be helped in putting in a code that shall be effective and that shall come from . source of impartiality and of knowledge that may not be doubted"

Animals Never Quite
Lose Fear of Snakes

Monkeys will never face snakes.
Even those born in captivity show
the widest alarm if one is placed
near them,
Darwin once made an interesting
experiment with monkeys and
snakes. He was anxious to dis
cover which was the stronger emo
ton, curiosity or fear. l recently
saw a film in which the experiment
was reproduced, writes a CORE
spondent of the Montreal Herald.

ticed, then one and another of the
inquisitive creatures approached it,
and after a lot of hesitation tho
bEavest slowly opened the lid. All
peeped in, but when the monkeys
saw what the basket contained the
lid was instantly dropped, and all
of them dashed off to the most dis
tant corner of their compound.
They could not be induced to APP
proach the basket again.
1t was found that a baby chin
panzee born in the zoo. and never
having seen snake before, was
thoroughly scared when one was
placed near 1t, while an infant

alarm when it saw one for the frst
