Native American
Instruments to Be Played

instruments to Be Played
FEW people perhaps know that the
banjo, although it originated thou
sands Of years ago as a very crude
instrument, was developed in this coun-
try and is the only truly native An1eri-
can instrument.
Joe Sweeney was the first to intro
duce the banjo as a solo instrument to
the public in his vaudeville act about
the middle Of the nineteenth century
and his instrument was so loud that
the people called him Band-Joe, hence
the name banjo. Sweeney made his
own instrument, which was very crude
in comparison with the expensive
models that are manufactured today
which retail from $100 to $1,000.
Twenty-Five of these will be played
by members of the Sophocles T. Papas
Banjo Band this afternoon at the Earle
Theater at 2:30.
This is one Of the several groups
which Mr.. Papas organized three years
ago and which have become established
units Of Washington musical organiza-
tions. They are to be heard this Win
ter in concerts and over the radio.
In one selection, an arrangement Of
popular songs made by Mr.. Papas,
variety will be given to the tone-color
by use of a saxophone to be played

Observing that human beings and
butterflies behave much alike in certain
racial activities, Austin H. Clark of the
National Museum is inclined to look to
these and other insects to provide a
1rmer scientific foundation for the study
of sociology.
Both mankind and butterflies are
divided naturally into races and racial
groups he points out, and the SINH
larity continues to the extent that some
of these groups are characterized by
Warlike and adventurous instincts, while
others are distinctly pacific in tempera-

Whenever a venturesome, warlike hui

the men have always gone first, leaving
the women and children to follow after
the new homeland has been conquered
When a paciflst group has migrated
however, all have gone together, and
the same racial difference, he says, can
be observed among butterflies.
Such migrationS, whether among men
or butterflies, usually are caused by
pressure of population, which also ac-
counts. he declares, for other striking
similarities in their behavior This is
especially noticeable in the military
measures taken by such warlike races

buckeye and the viceroy to protect thelr

cross the streets of the District because

Senator. who has expressed similar
views In the past, was prompted by the
death of John F. Luitich, Government
Printing Office employee, who was
knocked down while walking across
North Capitol and p streets Friday
night by an automobile which was being
pursued by a motor cycle policeman.
Senator Edwards statement said, in
part:
How long Is a condition such as that
which caused the untimely death of Mr..
Luitich going to be tolerated in the
city where the laws of the Nation are
enacted? Such a condition will re-
main to plague us just so long as the
eighteenth amendment is a part of the
Constitution and extra-legal organiza-
ticns and societies are permitted to
substitute their will for the will of
Congress and a majority of right
thinking and honest citizens"
