ELGAR HAS BIRTHDAY
British Musician Has Appearance
of Soldier at Age of 73.

LONDON CN.A.NA).-sir Edward
Elgar, who has Just celebrated his
seventh-third birthday, looks more like
soldier than musician. He is tall
and upright, with gray hair and a heavy
gray moustache, and is very courteous
in manner.
Sir Edward was born in a cottage at
Upper Broadheath, Worcester, and was
something of child prodigy. The son
OF an organiSt and violinist who kept a
small music shop in Worcester, the
future composer taught himself to play
half dozen instruments while still a
child, wrote musical play for chill
dren when only II, and maintained
himself In his early teens by writing
marches and dance tunes for a few
shtllings apiece
In spite of this, he was placed at
the age Of l8 as a clerk in a business
house He could not stand this for
long, however. and at % he was ap-
pointed bandmaster Of lunatic asylum
in Worcester. He has some amusing
stories to tell of that experience. 1t
was not until 1900 that he had first
real success with his Dream of
Gerontius."

fratn from mentioning President Hoover,
ex-President Coolidge, Andrew Mellon,
Secretary Of the Treasury, and Fran
els P. Garvan, president Of the Chemi-
cal Foundation. These four great
Americans saw with clear eyes the pos
sibilities Of this health institute for pre-
venting or curing disease, with its awful
suffering and colossal economic losses
not only to our country but to the whole
world. They and many others gave
their whole-hearted support to the bill. -
Since the passage of the measure
Senator Ransdell has been flooded with
letters of praise and congratulatory
messages, and newspapers throughout
the United States have paid him tribute
in commendatory editorials.
The time has come TO recognize the
silent men of medicine and science who
are every day accomplishing heroic VIC
tories In the warfare against disease
and human suffering There have been
greater generals IN the laboratories, in
the operating rooms and in the wards
Of hospitals than any who have won
glory on battleflelds. Senator Ransdeli
has paved the way for this recognition
IN the National Institute of Health In
Washington. Here will arise q Napo-
leon Of science, . George Washington
OF health. But to Senator Ransdell
will go first honors for this great hui
manitarian measure and the institute
he has founded will be q lasting me-
mortal to his name.

justified in q State the size Of Mich

justified in the much smaller State, for
example. Of Nevada, or the much larger
State, for example, of Pennsylvania.
The Senate has never laid down
rule. 1t has never put the permitted
limit on q per capita basis. 1t has never
said that a candidate might spend q
fixed sum-l0 cents, or so cents, or a
dollar, for each registered voter. The
Senate has not said that-one one feels
1t hesitates to say so because 1t would
look a little ridiculous.
Among other considerations, provoc-
alive of reflection, consider the diff
ference beween q Senator already in
office, who can use his Thanking priv
ilege. who can insert his campaign lit
erature In the Congressional Record
and have reprints made at little or no
cost, who can put his campaign man
ager on the Government pay roll as his
secretary and have his clerical work and
correspondence done by Government
paid clerkS-and, on the other hand, a
candidate outside the Senate and try
ing to get in, who must have his cam
paign literature printed at his own ex-
pense in a private plant, who must put
q 2-cent stamp on every letter he
writes. To print, mail and stamp one
letter to each voter in the State is
likely to cost, all told, as much as
cents q letter. In q State as large as
Pennsylvania, to send one letter to each
registered voter would cost at cents
each something like $4,000. In

I knew another man who
owned a small but profitable
business. He was methodical
in his habits. On a certain day
of each month he stayed away
from the office, and everybody
in his employ knew that the
old man was thinking" From
breakfast time until shutdown
on such a day he would sit be-
fore an open fire or on an open
porch, without pen or pencil or
paper, or records or reports, and
quietly think.
He attributed his modest
success to this unvarying habit.
Henry Ford remarked to me
once that thinking Is the
hardest job there is" and added
that he could get plenty Of do
ers, but not enough thinkers.

portant function in nearly all our early
commercial bodies.
It is impossible within the limits of
this article to discuss in detail the
organizations have mentioned and of
others Like them that came into being
during our Colonial history. 1t Is q
story common to all voluntary human
effort-periods of intense activity sue
ceeded by times when the organization
seemed to lie dormant, followed again
by periods of revival. Even modern
chambers of commerce are not strangers
to such cycles.
What has the chamber Of commerce
movement done for America? In
answer there Is the undeniable evidence
of American progress as evinced by the
growth of hundreds of communities
where chambers of commerce have
played their part In the scheme of de-
velopment. When we think of the life
Of European cities of $4,000 inhabitants
upward we think in terms Of centuries,
but there are IN the United States scores
Of splendid cities whose populations now
range better than 100000 which only
25 or 30 years ago were nondescript
small towns lying at the edge of things.
These cities have been made by business
men working together in their common
interest. In some instances they have
called their organization a commercial
club. in some a board Of trade; most
frequently they have called it cham
Der Of commerce. The name does not
matter particularly; the principle en-
dues.
With some 5000 organizations and
a basic membership of perhaps 1,00o,
900 people, the Chamber of Commerce
may be classed as an American in
stitution-an institution based on
business, to serve business, but with
field that reaches a little beyond the
fringeS of ordinary business enterprise.
Under a guise of some austerity, the
American business man Is often a crea-
ture of deep sentiment, easily touched
by those elements of humanity that are
not quite measurable by strictly COM
mercial yardsticks There is q spirit,
a sense Of kinship and solidarity that
is an iInponderable but priceless part
Of the Chamber of Commerce movement.
I think can best express 1t by quoting
again from the words Of H. A. Hill,
who said of 1t years ago what Is equally
true today:
THE merchant needs constantly to
be reminded that he Is not only man
but citizen not only one, but one
of many. He needs to be drawn away
from his isolation, to be diverted from
the earnestnesS of his pursuits. He
needs to be taught the advantage which
hes in mutual confidence, and in con-
current action. In word, he needs
to be attracted to q sphere the center
Of which shall be something outside of
and separate from himself.
This is precisely what the Chamber
Of Commerce is calculated to do. It's
whole effect is to sociaiize. It connects
warehouse with warehouse, and trade
with trade. It serves as bond Of union
in a community; as the conductor for
current of sympathy which. without 1t,
would not flow. 1t softens the asperities
Of competition. 1t reconciles apparently
conflicting interests, and 1t demon
strates that the common welfare is the
best basis for individual prosperity"

Cuban Envoy Clarifies
Pan-American Movement

Importance to them. Outside of Cuba,
the supposedly coveted Caribbean zone
has received small amounts of money,
according to the Cuban Ambassador,

can investments In Chile, Peru, Argen-
tina, etc.
If the terms economic domination
and financial Imperialism" have been
used to arouse suspicion and distrust
among the Latin Americans, the Mon
roe Doctrine has been utilized to upset
Latin American pride. However, in the
opinion of Mr.. Ferrara, the Monroe
Doctrine, far from being q menace to
their political independence, has been
OF great assistance and benefit to the
Latin American countries. He shows
that among the three parties concerned,
Europe, Latin America and the United
States, the latter has been the least
interested in having recourse to the
Monroe Doctrine, or proflting by 1t.
Strange as It may SEEM" he says,
this is historically true"
Latin America has invoked the Mon
roe Doctrine and sought its protecting
AAAAAASAASC OAA AhAA1CLOuS OCCuSAOAIo
the past century. Several European
powers have also used IT, demanding
from the United States the protection of
their interests which they considered
endangered by certain Latin American
republics. On the other hand, the
United States has only taken recourse
TO the principles Of the Monroe Doc
trine In very few instances, and then
with an unselAshneSs which the author
considers deserving of praise.
Once the way has been cleared Of all
these Misunderstanding the Cuban
Ambassador believes the success of the
far-reaching pan-American ideals will
follow. Pan-Americanism, he declares,
is a regional organization Of human
society in continent where history has
not left hatreds, bitterness and old ami
moSities among its componentS. Thus
it is an organization for peace and CO.
operation, not of political interests or
economic convenience, and In this lies
the basis of its success.
Moreover, we must add that PAN
Americanism exists for the propagation
Of good will not only in this part OF the
earth, but in the world at large. 1t Is
for world peace and world fraternity,
for universal good, not for the creation
OF comhatant groups or selfish hege-
monies. The international community
should recognize in It the first success
full step toward a happier world built
on peace, justice and right.

Emerson tells the story Of "a

called to him his profligate son
and left him large possessions,
only exacting Of him the prom
ise to spend an hour every day

and became a wise and good

In another passage Emer-
son remarks that "the gods and
