1t has been the custom of New York to speak
lightly Of other parts of the country the prov
inces." Particularly is this true in the world Of
the theatre.
But now, it appears, New York's theatres of
the playhouse type-the theatres that is, operated
especially to foster worthwhile drama and not for
profit-are falling on evil days. One after another
they are closing; and prominent New York critic
the other day remarked that this work apparently
must be carried on by the little theatre movements
OF cities like Dallas, Cleveland, St. Louis and
Denver.
1t would be exceedingly odd if New York the
proud should find herself taking pointers, the
atricaly, from the despised provinces" But it
may well to pass. The provinces are stpl
pretty well free of Broadway's influence.

America and Music

Observation of National Music Week brings one
: nnce to consideration of the question: How
fertile field for musical accomplishment is Amer
I ica going to prove?
Thus far, obviously, America has done very littl.
IN the world Of music. We have to be sure, shown
ourselves fairly appreciative of good music. We
Jay opera singers and concert stars fabulous prices,
and some of prima donnas enjoy fame almost
equal to that held by the average movie actress;
but reading the list of names of our .favorite mu-
@sicians reminds forcbly that we ourselves, have
contributed very few of them.
In musical composition have done little bet
y TER. OF really enduring music have fathered
almost none. We have wealth of men who are
turning out jazz in floods, and lone few who are
doing really presentable work along serious
: lines. That is about all We say.
The reasons for this not hard to find Our
deficiency in musical achievement, like failure
to produce any other variety of art abundantly
as other nations do springs largely from the con
-ditions that have attended growth as nation.
We have been too busy to have time for the arts.
Ever since the revolution American life has been
kept keyed to a high pitch. We have been eter-
nally at work. So whole-heartedly have thrown
ourselves into tasks that have had no time for
reflecton-no leisure for things that not alb
solutely necessary. Accordingly, cultural life
. has been stunted. It has had chance.
OF late, however, there have been signs Of a
:. change. In music, in literature, in the theatre,
in the artists studio-everywhere there seems to
be awakening We beginning to discover
that we cannot live by bread alone On the heels
Of this, doubtless, will come awakened aAsthet,
activity.
What form will music take. when we do pro-
duce it! That is hard question. One suspects
that will turn out grand operas of any
great consequence. Nor is it easy to agree with
those who see in jazz the beginnings Of signif-
cant music. And-f needs to add this-it
j. seems doubtful that American crchestras Of the
4 future will be equipped with airpane propellers.
auto horns and the like despite the efforts along
that line of certain very modern composers.
Forecasts are rather futile. It is becoming APP
parent, however, that long period of musical
barrenness is about ended In the future, we
may be confident, America will find its voice.

DR.. William Mather Lewis. president
of George Washington University and

HEADLEY TO GET
POST IMMEDIATELY
BIanton Says Dougherty Has
Assured Him of Restora-
ton at Once.

Capt. Albert j. Headley is to be i'm
mediately restored TO the rank of in
spector in the Police Department, &C
cording to a statement by Represent
alive Blanton, Democrat. of Texas,
who for more than a year has con-
tinued a persistent campaign for
Capt. Headley's reinstatement to the
grade which he held before he was
denoted. following trouble with
former Commissioner Frederick A.
Fenning.
Mr.. Blanton said he had today re-
ceived that assurance in writing from
Commissioner Dougherty, to whom he
today sent the following letter:
II thank you for your favor of the
4th instant, showing that immediate
steps are being taken to return IN
spector Albert j. Headley to his prop
er rank. from which he was so I'M
Justly denoted.
"'The press is in error when II
states that it is the contention that
Inspector Headley should be restored
as INSPECTOR of traffic. There is no
s,1ch contention. On the contrary
when the matter was discussed-both
with you and the Police Department
[ stated very clearly that the FRIENDS
of Albert j. Headley had no purpose
or intention of interfering in any way
with the present organization OF the
Traffic Department. but were insisting
merely that justice be done by restor-
ing Headley to his proper rank OF
inspector.
THE automobile allowance was
placed in the appropriation bill merely
because it was meant that such in
spector should have the same allow
ance for automobile that he had when
he was unjustly denoted"

BELFAST, February 5.-What
were considered improper refer
ences to the British policy toward
China started riot at a Women's
Socialist meeting in Ulster Hall last
night
The trouble began when a
woman in the gallery objected to
the remarks of a speaker and
wave Union Jack. An attempt
was made to eject the flag waver
and the disturbance extended to
the main floor, where some per-
sons started to sing Rule
Britannia"
The auditorium soon was seeth-
ing with excitement and the so
red-badged stewards were helpless
until the arrival of a large police
force. Eventually the anti-Social-
lists were induced to leave the hall.
They staged a meeting outside.

Acquittal in the Doheny case has
carried with 1t the assumption here
that a similar verdict will be returned
when the Fall-Sinclair case Is closed.
AS a matter Of fact, however. the two
cases are quite dissimilar and a new
jury of Washingtonians might see
latter-day moralities in an entirely
different light. The Fall-Sinclair trial
now is set for April Is in the Supreme
Court in the District Of Columbia and

To run for the Senate next year
Mr.. Fall would have TO face
Senator Andrias a. Jones. Dem
ocrat, and one of the most
popular men in New Mexico,
Mr.. Fall might have difficulty fight
ing to come back" against a weaker
opponent. That he could overthrow
Senator Jones seems out of the ques-
ton. The further fact, too, that,
while Mr.. Fall maintains his famous
ranch at Three Rivers, N Mex, the
ranch he augmented with the $780,
900 he borrowed from Mr. Doheny, the
former Harding officer really makes
his home in west Texas. Three
Rivers is approximately 100 miles
away. His house here is in the Golden
Hill section of Ell Paso. Soon he is
expected to be a familiar figure in
the downtown financial district.

FARM RELIEF BILL
DEBATE IS OPENED
Inclusion of Tobacco in
Measure Declared to Have
Won Support in Senate.

Debate over farm relief legislation
got under way in the Senate yester-
day, with Senator McNary, Republi
can, of Oregon, explaining his pro-
posal to levy an equalization fee as a
means of disposing of surplus crops,
and Senator Tess, Republican, of Ohio,
'contending the bill would have to pro-
vide for price fixing IL the Govern
ment is to be protected from loss by
operation of the equalization fee.
IT challenge any one to point to a
single word in the bill referring to
price fixing" responded Senator Nc
Nary THE price would be protected
by the removal of the surplus"
While the debate was proceeding in
the Senate, numerous private confer
ences were under way between Senate
groups in an effort to compromise on
the provision for cotton. Led by Sena-
tor Harrison, Democrat, Mississippi a
bloc of Southern members has de-
manded substitution of the Bledsoe
cotton-insurance plan for the equali-
zation fee against cotton.
Measure Gets Support.
Managers of the measure, sponsored
jointly by Senator McNary and Chair
man Haugen of the House agricul-
tural committee, so far have declined
to accept the insurance plan on the
contention that it would require
amendment of the farm banking laws,
which could not be effected at this ses-
sion.
Supporters of the bill. which will
be taken up by the House next week,
believe its position has been improved
materially by the decision to include
tobacco as one of the basic agricul-
tural commodities, along with corn,
wheat, hogs, rice and cotton. They
claim to have obtained the support
of several Senators from tobacco
growing States and predict that If
members from cotton States can be
satisfied the bill will be passed.
In his speech opening debate, Sena.
tor McNary declared the measure was
necessary to economically equalize ag-
riculture with industry as operation
of the law of supply and demand has
been blocked by both the tariff and
immigration laws.
Says Something Should BE Done.
Congress has aided every human
occupation but agriculture" he added,
and 1t Is now time something was
done for the farmer"
The McNary- Haugen farm relief bill
was charged yesterday with taking
from the farmer the protection of the
tariff system by Representative New.
ton. Republican, Minnesota.
Declaring that he spoke as a rep.
resentative from a populous city do
pendent almost entirely on the welfare
of rural sections, Newton, who lives
In Minneapolis, said he hoped the
House would reject the measure when
1t comes up for third time next year.
THE McNary Haugen BILL" he said.
"at first was demanded by the farm
ers, who knew little about its pro-
visions. Now the farmers are not so
much in favor Of it, but the farm land
and mortgage interests are"
