Indirectly it will be responsible for raising the standard of the songs in America. A few years ago we were content with any sort of da da da cop de ump that could be hummed with 9 bang. In fact the more dribblish the lyric, the more the public seemed to like 1t. But new every lyric must tell a story and paint a picture.
 "This is a good thing for writers, as demand is raising the standards of what they can sell.
 ~sYou're Always In My Arms, from Rio Rita, is very fine ex- ample of a song which tells a slm- pie story full of pictures.
 You're always in my arms,
 But only in my dreams,
 We're always meath the palms,
 So happy then it seems, .,
 So near and yet so far apart
 "A love Story simply told.
 "Until now, our music had got ten far ahead of the words in our national songs."

NEW YORK, April 14.-Dr. John @
| Stewart, associate professor astronomi-
cal physics at Princeton University, be-
lieves that a dozen decades hence men
may travel to the moon.
Basing his calculations on the prog
reSs in the rate of travel made during
the past century, he expounded his
theory in an address before the Brook
Ign Institute of Arts and Sciences re-
Gently
BY 1850, he said, a speed of 1000
miles an hour will be possible, and by
the year 2050 man will have devised q
means of travelling at the rate of $4,000
miles an hour, the speed necessary tc
make the journey to the moon.
To attain such speed fuel capable
OF releasing many times the energy OBJ
tainable from coal, gasoline or dynamite
must be made available for engineering
purposes, he said.
He described a possible ship for a
lunar voyage as sphere, briStling with
cannon, which would be propelled into
space after the manner of a rocket.
Such ship he said would be about
ITO feet in diameter and weigh about
10000 metric tons. 1t would carry a
crew of so and group of scientists as
passengers.
Starting from a desert, where the
discharge of the propelling cannon
could do no harm, Dr. Stewart said, the
moon ship would take off about a
half hour before noon and about three
days before the full moon.
In 6 minutes the sphere would be
IL miles up and would shoot out of the
earth's atmosphere at the rate of 200
miles an hour. After 2 hours and
20 minutes, he estimated, discharges
from the earthward cannon could be
stopped and the ship would travel

Rudy had made the picture 1.-THE
| -Four Horsemen," but 1t had not yet
been released. No one knew he was an
artist, though it was rumored he was
good. But picture people are all from

who, with his friend Paul, a young

Paul that he could make me notice
him; that he used to pray would trip
and fall, or, at least, drop my hand
kerchief, so he could leap to pick it up,
or rescue me from danger. It appealed
to his romantic sense to attract the at

PHILADELPHIA, April IA R.-The
already badly tangled situation in the

chairman of the State committee, that
he would support Joseph r. Grundy for

Brown the support of both wings of the

senatorial running mate, Secretary of

influential leaders of Pittsburgh.
Local Republican leaders expressed
belief today that the decision of the
Mellon interests to support Grundy and

by Gov. John S. Fisher, who has not
made public announcement of his choice
for Senator and governor. Grundy was
appointed to the Senate by Gov. Fisher
after the rejection of William S. Ware
by that body.
