"The license number of the Packard
car in which, the men arrested this
morning were riding was given to
the police several days ago, and it
was known to the police that the
gangsters were cruising in this car.
We feel that this incident today ex-

refused several months ago to APP

his request and endeavor to clarity
this issue of gangsterism. The Joint

When asked for the name of the

the gangsters said that man named

Lindbergh Puppet of
Plutes and Patriots
In Aviation Project

WASHINGTON, June 24.-Charles
Lindbergh will lend his name to a
group of big business men headed by
William B. Mayo and William B.
Robertson.
Although Lindbergh will probably
be a nominal official of the COM
mercial aviation corporation that is
being formed, it is stated that his job
will consist of lending his reputation
to the company.
Lindbergh will be made the dupe
of militarism as much as big business
in the venture, since commercial
planes are easily converted into mill
tary planes.

Loan and Donate.


E. P. Gaberman, secretary of the
Hartford Defense Committee has
found new way of raising inn
mediate funds for the Defense of the
imprisoned cloakmakers and furriers
and the relief of the strikers. Not
being able to raise large sums of
money very readily, the Hartford
Committee decided to borrow $500
from a loan association. This money
was Immediately donated for the de-
Tense, the various members of the
Committee pledging themselves to
make 80 cent weekly payment each,
until the entire sum is paid off. This
IS such a good way of raising money
in the present crisis that we earnestly
recommend this method to all other
cities and towns.

Jails and Money.

The press dwells daily on the de-
votion and self sacrifice of the
striking furriers to their Union and
their cause. Numerous examples of
faithfulness are shown daily on the
picket line and in court. In order to
save the Union the expense, the ar
rested pickets go to jail rather than
allow the payment of fines. We can
not go into detail, but one incident
unreported by the press is worthy of
mention: Monday morning a group of
pickets was reported. They were
found guilty and fined So each OF
two days in Jail. AS usual they pre-

tempt to gain a further delay in
bringing the Chaplin divorce ease
to trial was in evidence here today
with a motion on record to quash
the summons served on Charlie
Chaplin ny publication.
The motion is .ascd on the con
tcntion that Lita Grey Chaplin S
divorce complaint failed to specify
a sufficient cause Of action and that
the complaint has been amended by
interlineation thus avoiding the
first summons.
Counsel for Mrs. Chaplin declared
that the only objection to the orig

Ljta. Grey Chaplin and Charli"
Chaplin were man and wife.
This has been amended on the
face of the complaint and William

attorneys said he was of the opin-
ION that the original summons
would be sufficient to bring Chap

IMPROVING MUSICAL TASTE

Musical taste in America has been raised higher
than in any country of Europe today" said music
critic recently
Any native music-over hopes this is true, and be-
ieves it be when he considers some of the musical
tendencies of recent years
First has the better teaching of music and
music appreciation in the public schools In
munities school credit is given for music practice
great many boys and girls who will never themselves
be musical have learned much about good music and
have become familiar with considerable of it.
There is hardly high school of any size that does
have its orchestra its band as we'll as its school
chorus
The phonograph and then the radio brought the per-
formance OF great artists into small homes Of
it brought jazz too, but not to any such muscay de-
grading extent as some people have feared.
The annual musical memory contests now held in
many communities have also helped to famarze the
public with great music and to show to the hum
best musical layman that there charm and beauty
and pleasure in classical works.
There is reason to be proud and happy about the
development of this taste for music and believe that
it is still developing.
