IONDON.-With thousands OF nlu-
s;7ians in Great Britain either unem-
Moved or in danger of losing their JOBS
because of what is described as the
onward sweep of mechanical music,
fears are expressed in some quarters for
the future of church music because OF
the threatened famine in organists. II
is even asked will church music
eventually have to be mechanized?
DR.. William Prendergast, president Oh
the Incorporated Association OF Organ
lists, uttered words of warning about
the church music problem at the an
nual congress of the association, just
concluded, in Edinburgh. After re-
ferring to the curious fact that while
there seemed to be no objection to pay
ing fees to organists and choristers at
weddings, it was considered to be al
most inhuman to suggest anything OF
the kind for funerals. He declared:
Those who subsist on mechanical
music to the exclusion of the genuine
article are not only starving themselves.
but are doing a disservice to the art, for
if nobody studies or practices music
there will be no need of teachers or
composers, as we are discovering at the
present time to our cost.
In the meantime teachers are faring
badly, and the church will soon be
seriously affected, since the salaries OF
those who follow the organist's profess
sion hitherto have been calculated on
the assumption that these officials can
make living by teaching music. That
method Is now bankrupt, and in future
financial provision must be made for
che organist."
Evening star., 1932-10-02
Future Church Music Held in Peril
Because of New Mechanized Methods

1t is DR.. Prendergast's belief that
the artistic level of divine worship is
much below that of secular perform
ances in the theater and the concert
hall. and that 1T is mockery to offer
to God in church that which would be
hissed at in a theater or hall"
There has been much discussion here
lately Of the subject Of music in church
worship, but those who have decried the
decline in its standards have been con-
fronted with the argument that only the
cathedrals and few churches have the
necessary money to employ the best
talent.
Nevertheless more clergymen in
Britain appear worried today over the
shortage of choir boys than over the
threatened famine Of organists. One
reason for the choir boy scarcity is the
call of outdoor games. But the acute
shortage in some parishes Is due to
hours of home work which eligible boys
attending secondary schools must put In.
The shortage Is so serious in certain
rural communities that choir vacancies
have had to be filled by women.
1t is one of the complaints against
mechanical music that it has aggra-
waited the habit of rushing from the
ater or hall when patriotism and good
form require the citizen to stand dur
ing the playing of the national anthem.
It is asserted by many Of the culprits
that they do not feel the same con-
straints of duty when God Save the
King" is blared out mechanically as
when 1t Is played by visible band or
toopyright. iss7)

The revolt, which. like all such revolu-
tionS, was tremendously destructive and
costly, bathed Mexico in blood for
months But for the assistance OF the
United States-in the form of an arms
embargo against the rebels while NUM-
tions were freely sold to the govern
ment-Obregon would have been beaten,
and he and Gales would have been
lucky to escape into exile. But. victory
achieved Gales election followed as
matter of course.
Four years later. in 1928, Obregon
again was a candidate. The pledge not
to seek reelection he now interpreted to
mean no reelection in successive terms.
The Congress and Legislature likewise
obligingly amended the constitution to
lengthen the presidential term from
four years to siX-just as Porflrio DiaZ
had done in 1904. Against Obregon op-
position developed-aS invariably since
the beginning of the revolution right in
his own camp-in the candidates. by
Gen. Francisco Serrano. secretary OF
war, and Gen. Arnulfo Gomez. another
'divisinario" tie, general Of division, :"
the highest rank in the Mexican army.
All three were natives of the State OF
Sonora, all three had been bosom
friends and comrades in arms since the
fighting was deemed unavoidable. Be-
fore it had actually broken out Serrano
and group of his followers were seiz.d
and shot; Gomez, who thereupon had
taken the field, was hunted down and
likewise dispatched Obregon's election
took place without opposition. But
within very few weeks he too, was to
perish at the hands Of the religious ia
natic, Jose Toral.
Thus violence had cleared the stage
henceforth to be dominated by the tow
ering figure Of Plutarco Elias Calles-al-
ready recognized for eight years as
Mexico's man of IRON" but overshad-
owed by Obregon during that period.
The presidency was now his for the
taking Indeed. in the confusion follow
ing the assassination Of Obregon. the
one outstanding military genius that the
revolution had produced. Gales was
besought on all sides to accept election.

their family savings They were disap-
pointed, but had no recourse for recov-
cry of the money. Verbally. they had
been assured they would get positions.
In writing their contract said.
The school guarantees that its course
will meet the requirements of employers
and for this reason its graduates are
favored by calls from the better manu-
facturers and fashion houses. Grad
uates will be notified of calls coming to
the school. although the school is not
an employment agency"
Trade Schools Vary.
Trade schools privately operated for
profit fall, like most other human en-
terprises, into several classifications.
Depending on the ethics of their pro-
prietors and ability to withstand temp
tations produced by the depression, the
trade schools are good, bad or indiffer-
ent, ranging from worthy institutions
performing real educational service to
plain fakes.
The bogus schools, willing to train"
any one who can pay fee in any art
or profession or trade, regardless of the
pupils aptitude, have never reaped so
great harvest it is said by officials of
New Yorks Better Business Bureau, as
during these years when millions of per-
sons have lost their jobs and are seeking
others. Many schools, of course, are
perfectly reputable, but some others
seem to have been instituted mainly to
collect what they can from the savings
of their students.
There was discovered in Newark, N
j., a school for washing automobiles, in
which a smart garage keeper got few
jobless men of limited intelligence to
pay him, instead Of being paid, for the
privilege Of working.
Other Fakes Described.
Today there are more schemes where
by jobless men and women with little
money may be separated from that
money because of their anxiety to get
work than could possibly be told in a
single article. There are even the mis-
applied practices of regular, orthodox
business, perverted by crooks. Such are
the cash bond" racket and the "ex-
elusive territory" racket. Men who
normally would prove far from gulible,
men who have earned and saved con-
siderable amounts of money are being
taken in by such devices.
The cash bond" as its name implies,
is q deposit in cash required of the ap-
plicant for position to guarantee
faithful performance of a contract.
Cash bond" operators are usually
travelling men-they travel far and fast
after extracting cash from their VIC

Saving Native Samoans
Credited to U. S. Nayy

HONOLULU, Hawaii. Credit is given
the American Navy in Samoa by former
Gov. Walter F. Frear of Hawaii for
checking the complete humiliation"
Of native Samoans.
Mr. Frear recently returned from a
trip to American Samoa, where he
went as member of an educar,nal
commission sent by private phhan-
thropy to investigate conditions in
Samoa and suggest a suitable educa-
tlonal system. Mr. Frear pointed out
that century ago the population of
the islands now known as American
Samoa was over 10000, but that by 1900
it had shrunk to $500.
The American Navy then took con-
troll, inaugurated sanitary regulations
and protected the natives from outside
exploitation, as well as from contagious
and infectious diseases. The birth rate
now considerably exceeds the death rate
and the population of the islands has
been slowly built up.

Diaz regime, haters of Gales and all his
works, believed that his accession TO
office alone could save the country from
utter chaos. He declined.
Yet from that day to this he has been
the real and only ruler of Mexico. Ap-
parently believing at the time that
break from the militarist tradition would
be beneficial to Mexico. or knowing well
that it would be impossible for one
general to secure the coveted prize
without mourning the active opposition
of the rest. he determined to enthrone
civilian rule-if possible. His method
was shrewd and not without drama.
The generals-the dominating caste
in Mexico then, as they have been for
more than a century, except during the
Diaz interlude tand possibly again now,
since Gales seems to have curbed them
assembled to hear Gales announce his
program. To their amazement he re-
nounced further presidential ambitions.
He then asked which one of their num-
Der they had agreed upon.
Expecting the announcement of his
own candidacy and taken unawares.
they were silent-they had had no
chance to confer and electioneer. In
his heart every general was his own
presidential candidate.
AS they hesitated, Gales, stressing
their own failure to agree on a candi-
date, and with strong plea for gov
ernment Of law rather than of a per-
sonality. proposed the candidacy of
Emilio Portes Gil, a civilian, lawyer
by profession, who had been given the
portfolio of gobernacion by Gales.
Taken by surprise. the generals were
stampeded into assent Portes Gil was
made Provisional President by the Con-
gress, which then, as now, legislated
what the executive decided
The revolt was not long in breaking
out, however 1t came in the Spring of
1929, headed. as usual, by generals-in
particular, by Gen. Jose Escobar. who
had hunted down Gen. Arnulfo Gomez
| in the previous revolt and scatchingly
denounced him as a traitor. Again
with the benevolent neutrality Of the
United States-which permitted arms to
go to the government, but not to the
rehaIs-the revolt was crushed During

large earnings, the school held out to

models from the school," Some OF the
firms, they found, had actually heard
of the institution, but business was too
dull, it appeared, for hiring new mod

proved illusions. They learned quickly
that models in actual business earned
far less than they had been told, and
that Manhattan was glutted with young
women out of work, who at one time or
