The following is taken from the
Literary Digest Jan. %:
What Is jazz to Them?
Two famous musicians are visiting
here, the French Maurice Ravel and
the English Sir Thomas Beecham.
What are they thinking about jazz?
That is the question that stands fol
the former query presented to new
comerS, What do you think OF uS?'
Well, the Frenchman thinks jazz is
LI'amazing";;- the BritiSher calls it rot. :
So The American (New York; re-
ports. First, M'sieur Ravel:
! "Jazz? !. Stupendous! Amazing!-
the dominant note in the new music
of the world -. Composers of every
race have thrilled to it-of every ma
ton except America Strange
"Let no one minimize the impor-
tance of jazz It is so amazing, sc
startling, that no one has yet probe6
it to its ultimate possibilities. It is
a new medium, g. new voice. crying
out in the music of the world"
Then the question was put to Sil
Thomas, and he is reported to have
called jazz sickness that has come
to music-a rash upon the times.
Thus:
"Jazz is to me a development of the
age-and because it is so popular is
no sign of it's intrinsic worth.
"Time will tell, as it has always
told, the value of music. Forty years
is a short time, and yet only after
say 40 years, can we begin to believe
that musical composition has taken
greatness unto itself. One hundred
and fifty years is better for the test
for if composition lives that long il
is well on it's way to live forever"

AS a matter of fact, one can't get
very far in the Interpretation OF

cf passing on the thoughts, ideas and
moods of the composers. Lacking it,
even the most perfectly executed COM
positions become "as sounding brass

Too much of what sometimes passes
for temperament is used to mask
mediocrity, and the effort becomes a
caricature and the performer a clown.
People always regard these tempera-
mental ones with apprehension and
the victims themselves often seem to
be not quite sure of themselves and
at times act as though they were sure
that it was coming on" when 1t
shouldn't.
If they could alight somewhere and
think it over or do little really

discover that they never really had
had any symptoms OF musical tenn

SHUN THE PEDD LER

The summer season, now at hand, brings
with it economic ill that annually takes a
toll of thousands of i'll gained dollars 1t is the
tinerant peddler, the house to house door bell
ringer and those of his kind who travel from
place to place plying their trade and imposing
on the credulity of the unthinking, offering
bargains in this and that which most always
Jurn out to be inferior merchandise sold at
ngher prices or in short measure. 1t is well to
beware of these fellows and the plausible
stories that they tell to engage the interest and
confidence of their prospects,
They are of many varieties and with as
many kinds of merchandise to SELL
Inferior articles of many kinds are peddled
about hther and yon during the summer
months. The automobile has been great aid
% this kind of chancanery for after he has
anded few gullible prospects days journey
will take him far away and beyond the reach
If the buyer who discovers that he has been
7ctimzed.
What better insurance can there be than
buying from the home town merchant? Ii for
my reason the article proves unsatisfactory ne
: ready and willing to correct the trouble anu
atsfv his customer Not so with the pedoler
he is gone tomorrow yet today II the
.hase gets too hot He is not seeking TO satl>-
" his customer-he is after the Nancy alohe'
The home town merchant stakes his reputation
md his success on his record for fair and nom
,st dealing He may be found at his place OF
business lay in and day out, year in and year
mt. There is nothing elusive about him.
When folks want support and contribution
For this and that, they know where to find him
no or;u WILLINGLY and generously, DlQ
anyone ever hear of the itlnerant merchant
contributing single cent for the adcacement
ST local cause? There is one real way OF IN
surfing good goods at reasonable prices, one
way of getting good values for the dollar ex-
pended and that is to buy OF the reputable
lome town merchant.

DEATH TO THE FLY

If there is no breeding place for flies there
will be no flies The almost total disappearance
of stable from cities has removed a prolific
of fly propagation. But not all the spots
which assist the fly in preserving his species
in the vicinity of stables. Where there is
filth there will be flies and where flies go there
will some of the filth accompany them
Time when flies were endured as an in
evitable annoyance without an appreciation of
the menace to health their presence is They
swarmed because no effort was made to eradi-
cate them. That era is past but there are those
who still tolerate conditions which in effect are
not inimcal to the interests of the fly. No
every house occupant prevent flies from
seeking entrance but veryone can keep them on
them on the outside. It is within the province
of all to refuse to purchase food products which
are accessible to flies
Were everyone to eliminate breeding places
on the premises and screen and swat, the fly
would become as completely extinct as the
monsters of which we know only through their
fossil remains. The fly is small but he makes up
in industry and persistence what he lacks in
size We become alarmed when epidemic
threatens yet too many of tolerate the fly
when we know his capacity a disease carrier.
Because he is no novelty we minimize the per-
il which he may transmit

CHE WHY of
SUPERSTITIONS
By H. IRVING KING
LENDING MONEY, GAM
BLING

GAMBLERS are among the most
~ superstitious people on earth. A
very common superstition, even among
those whose gambling consists of an
occasional game of poker or bridge, Is
that he who lends money while at play
will lose; and he who borrows will
win
The origin of this idea can be found
in the law of chances-a purely math-
ematica proposition. man has been
playing for some hours, say, in excel
lent luck" and has pile of chips be-
fore him. The man next to him has
been "bucking the tiger" for an equal
length of time and is down to cou-
pie of chips, perhaps. Suppose each
to be as skillful as the other at the
game. Results depend on the deals
Now the time has come when by
the law of chances, the winning man
should begin to hold bad cards and
the losing man good ones. The loser
says to the winner, Lend me a stack
of your chips" The winning man
does so and, as it is about at the turn
of the tide, soon begins to lose, while
the borrower begins to win. Then the
man who has loaned the chips attrib
uteS his turn of luck" not to the OPP
Grafton of the law of chances but to
the "hoodoo" of lending while at play.

J U N E

The poets have done well by June. The sub
ject supplies inspiration enough for any rhym-
ster to do his BEST
If June is ordinarily well behaved it deserv-
es all that the great and little poets have sung
about it. Occasionally the month shows a re-
bellious spirit, but so rarely is this true that
the exceptions may be taken to prove the
poets rule of blessedness and praise for June.
Nature perfects herself in the sixth month
of the year. Perhaps some persons will hold
that natures perfection comes at the harvest
season which falls well forward into the hazy
days. There is however, harvest of flowers
well of fruits and grains, and the album
dance of blossoms comes in June along with
brides, girl graduates and other things pleas
ant to look upon.

FLAG DAY

Of unusual Significance this year is Flag
Day, which falls on June Ia, tday For within
the past year our flag has been carried by
brave, adventurous flyers to far corners of the
earth. And iur flag flies now over a domain that
is blessed with peace and good will-good will
even toward former enemies. The riffs between
nations have healed. The flag flies over hap
py contented, peaceful and prosperous land.
Flag Day this year, then, should inspire noble
sentiments and gratitude We should be thank
full that our international relations are ami
cable and grateful for the prosperity our
country enjoys. Now we are embarked a
great undertaking; negotiations are going on
through Secretary Kellogg that may result in
the ultimate outlawry of all war
AS we look up at Our Flag flying over homes
andofficia buildings on Flag Day, as we partic-
ipate in local celebrations of the event, we
should bear in mind that our Flag has become
a symbol of international good will and har-
binger of the message of eventual peace in the
world over
All honor to Our Flag.
