NEW YORK-P)-Ths American
Federation of Musicians will oppose

the federation such machines
threaten the art OF music with de-

Dues Of the musicians union,
which has a membership Of 15s, SOU,
were raised at its recent convention

stands that about 900 theaters are
now equipped with the machines and
that 1000 more are preparing to in
stall them.
eve are not opposed to talking
movies because we realize that syn
chronization OF words with actions
on the screen is a scientific accom-
plishment Of value" says Weber.
But II the machines are used as a
substitute for vocal and orchestral
music IN the theaters they will be-
tural growth, and just al a time
when America has achieved rank as
the world center Of music.
Music ct It's best reflects the
mood Of the artist. You cannot

|Straigh Int Talks to Women About Money
BY MARY ELIZABETH ALLEN.

She had bought the house because 1t
was cheap. mind you.
Not long after occupying the house
she had to replace the entire plumbing.
heating plant, refrigerator, and many
other items.
This constant series of expenses
rather ratified her and she became de-
termined to sell.
There are many reliable and capable
brokers in our community. They would
have been the proper people to see
brokers do not labor for nothing. They
charge a nominal fee-in fact, 1t Is a
fee set by their own association.
The woman with the house to sell
could not bring herself to the point
where she could part with the sum
of money that might constitute the
fee. So she put For Sale" on her
house and waited.
She waited until she had to lay in
supply of coal. She waited until the
Spring rains had made roof repairs
essential She waited until Summer
came around and she had to furnish
her porch and supply awnings for her
windows, not to mention screens.
Finally a prospective buyer came
along, and, after some haggling, she
was glad to sell at a much lower price
than she had paid. In this way, you
see. she saved the brokerage fee, which
was only a small part of her sacrifice.
There is no moral to this. It simply
exemplifies an extreme type that is
stingy at her own expense. When a
service or a commodity is worth the
price asked for it. one rarely saves by
attempting circumvention of the service
or substitution for the article.

What would you say in response to
such a call for service? I do not know
what YOU would say, but ! DO know
what MANY are saying. Here is my
money: send my minister" Here is
INV check; let the Y. M. c. A. secretary

Well. I am glad these people have
some feeling of responsibility. The
church. the Y. M. G.. A. and other
such benevolent organizations have their
place and should be supported imam
cially. But it should be remembered
that we cannot delegate our whole re-
sponsibility to organizations and their
leaders. There is much service that we
ought to render personally, and 1or
which we cannot hire substitute.
No matter to what good causes we
may give our money, and no matter
how much we give, we cannot buy ex-
emption from personal duties. To meet
the human needs around us. to relieve
human ills and woes, to play our part
in the onward march of the world to
higher life and higher order OF
things, we must do more than give our
money: we must give ourselves. In this
holy and sacred work to which we are
all called, nothing can take the place
of personal conservation and personal
service.
