There are songs in the soul of every
man. says Secretary Woodin. Some
have many, some have few. But, con-
sclously or unconsciously, there IS a
deep-Seated desire in all OF us to ex-
press something which can be ex-
pressed only in music.
Just now music and music study
are practical needs of every man. Pre-
cisely as the boy whistles instinctively
to keep up his courage. so are we all
crying for something to bring about
confidence and to displace the absurd
hysteria of fear which in the last few
years has made men and women avoid
the great human responsibilities which
these dynamic times demand.
The vibrations of fine music put a
mysterious initiative, resolution and
courage into the normal individual
He reasons, Perhaps things are vastly
better than they seem. There is NO
reason why I should be idle or I'M
happy. I must look toward success if
I would have it. I will trust my fel-
low man. Life is finer and brighter
than my somber thoughts made it out
to be. The outlook is more cheerful
than thought it was
Music of the right kind subcon-
sciously says these things to men and
women who feel themselves slipping
It thus energies the individual as long
as there is any workable material left
in him. 1t sometimes seems to perform
miracles, but it will not perform super
miracles. 1t will not raise the dead any
more than electricity will galvanize a
mummy. But give music chance and
1t may work wonders for you in a way
that may now seem utterly incompre-
henSible. OF course, music is only one
of the things which may be used in
the time of a crisis to restore conf
dence; but, if understandingly en-
ployed, it may be very potent factor.
Every great ruler and military leader
since the beginning of time has recog-
nized and used the stimulating effect OF
music for putting courage into the
hearts of men at times of great peril.

1T has been my experience in busi-
ness life that after very strenuous
tremely difficult to solve-I have come
home and devoted my time to music
beautiful music. BY 'devoting my time
to music I mean the playing of music
and endeavoring to create it, not mere
ly hearing" music. The effect can
be described only as kind of psyche
logical bath. I feel cleansed mentally
and my mind is enormously rested. 1t
Is kind of soul bath and it is some
thing which our modern mechanical
civilization is making more and more
necessary all the time.
Certainly one of the greatest COM
pensations is to be found in music,
and therefore, speaking from my own
experience, I feel sorry for the indi-
vidual, particularly the boy. whose
parents have neglected to see to it that
he has the best musical training pro-
curable-not with the view to making
him a professional musician, but with
the idea of giving him the wonderful
mental acceleration that music brings
the great energizing force of the art,
and the soul-cleansing qualities which
only beautiful music seems to have.
Musical inspiration is another thing
which is most curious, as every COM
poser knows. A lovely melody appears

GENEVA WORKS
On SECURITY

GENEVA, May "a G.N.SD.-
Spurred to swift progress by
Europe's new spirit of peace and
cooperation, the World Disarma-
ment Conference moved forward
today in it's consideration of the
British arms plan.
With the first reading of the
chapter abollshing big offensive
weapons concluded, the conference
was scheduled to tackle one of
the most formidable phases of
the plan-that dealing with Sc
curity.
Under program proposed by
Arthur Henderson, chairman of
the conference, the general COM
mission will discuss security this
afternoon and if suitable progress
is made will launch into the
subject of naval arms tomorrow.
While Joseph Paul-Boncour,
French foreign minister, placed
certain new obstacles in the way
of the conference by declaring his
country could not agree to aboli-
ton of heavy offensive weapons
unless private arms manufacture
is curbed by international agree
ment, the general impression was
some easy means would be found
to circumvent the French objec-
tions.

BANK DEPOSITS
BILL LIKELY
To PASS
Differences Between Senate
and House Measures to Be
Ironed Out, Prospect

Enactment of legislation setting
up a nationwide system of bank
deposit insurance during the pres
ent special session became strong
possibility today as a result OF
House passage of the Steagan bill
late yesterday by a vote of 262
to 10.
With the similar Glass bill the
first order of Senate business fol-
lowing the Louderback impeach-
ment trial hackers of the bank
reform and guaranty measures
planned to press for final action.
The House measure sets up
depositors' guaranty corporation
to include all Federal Reserve
banks. 1t also permits State banks
to join the system upon examina-
ton, while the bill of Senator
Glass CD of Virginia would COM
pei them to make application for
admission to the reserve system.
Deposits up to $4,000 would be
guaranteed 100 per cent; deposits
of $4,000 to $4,000, IS per cent;
and all over $4,000, SO per cent.
The House also ignored branch
banking, while the Glass bill
would extend branch banking in
States permitting it. The regu-
latory features of the House bill
are less stringent than the Glass
measure.

Here to See President, Ishii
Points to Past Failures to
Define 'Aggressor Nation

A clear intimation that Japan
may prove a stumbling block to
efforts now being made at Geneva
for world peace was forthcoming
today from Viscount Kikijiro Ishii,
member of the Japanese Privy
Council and special representative
to the economic conversations
here, as he prepared for his first
conference with President Roose-
welt.
The Japanese statesman de-
clared he did not agree with the
American definition of an aggres-
Sor nation as expounded by Nor
man H. Davis, Americas AmbaS'
Sador at Geneva.
Hard to Define
Davis declared the United States
has come to the conclusion that
the simplest and most accurate
definition of an aggressor is one
whose armed forces are found on
alien soil in violation of treaties.
Ishii said:
cat present 1 admit no such
definition. My experiences at
Geneva showed that it is a very
difficult task to define aggres-
sion. The council of the League
of Nations wanted that word
defined and IA international
jurists from different countries
tried to do it. These learned
juristS studied and discussed the
matter but finally were unable
to agree on any definition.
Certain action that might
take place in one part of the
world might be considered ag-
gressiOn in another part of the
world, but not in the part in
which it OCCURS"
Ishii said he personally favored
in principle the American plan
for complete abolition of all Of
fensive weapons of warfare, but
emphasized he could not speak
for his government on that point.
To Talk China Peace
With the Japanese military
forces in virtual occupation Of
the ancient Chinese city of Peip-
ing, the future peace of the Far
East was expected to come up in
the opening conversations between
President Roosevelt and the jap
anese statesman.
The japanese statesman de-
clared that Japan had no inten-
ton of extending Manchukuo
control to Peiping or Tientsin,
and that the japanese forces
would withdraw to the Great Wall
of China as soon as a truce was
concluded.

PEIPING, May "a G.N.S0.-A
showdown over the status Of
Peiping appeared imminent today
as Chinese troops disputed the
authority of japanese forces
which entered the city yesterday.
Twenty members of the JAP
anese legation guard, reinforced
yesterday by 600 troops from
Tientsin, mounted the east wall
of Peiping and ordered the
Chinese garrison to evacuate i'm
mediately.
The Chinese refused. pending
instructions from their superior
officers.
The Chinese forces at the gar
rison were among a portion of the
Nanking occupying troops which
failed to participate in yesterdays
retreat to the south, which was
launched on orders of Gen. Ho
Ying- Ching, Chinese commandant.
In demanding that the Chinese
evacuate, the japanese troops de-
clared they "menaced" japanese
residents of the district.

RESERVE BANKS
BUY U.s., BONDS

Backing up the inflationary
policies of President Roosevelt,
the Federal Reserve banks again
today were purchasing Govern
ment securities, in the open mar
ket, thus releasing additional
funds for commercial and indus
trial purposes.
The banks were authorized to
purchase $25, 100000 in Govern
ments after a conference of
Secretary Woodin, Governor R.
Black, of the Reserve Board;
Governor George L. Harrison, of
the New York Bank, and Gov
ernor Roy A. Young, of the BoS-
ton Bank.
Resumption of open market
purchases found the Reserve
banks with $1,837 100000 in Gov
ernment securities, the same level
as has prevailed since April 5.
There has been no substantial
change in the holdings since the
middle of last year when the
greatest buying program in his
tory came to an end.
Early in April, 1882, the board
launched a 100000, ,000-a-Week
purchasing program that lasted
about two months. Late in May
the rate of purchases slowed as
the member banks we're well
supplied with funds.
Woodin declined to say what
volume of Governments would be
purchased in the present pro.
gram, but declared the rate of
purchase would not compare with
that of April-May, 1882.

womanhood without knowledge ofn4abor,
of how to labor, with no inclination tOworl5
and no intention of trying to earn an hon
est living.
Male or female citizens at eighteen years
of age are young men and women, and II
they live to that age without learning to
work they will seldom learn after that age.
1t is not necessary to go into details as
to the problems and difficulties that would
be foisted on the country by the adoption
of this amendment. Thousands of them
will readily occur to any intelligent and
thoughtful person. A strong, healthy SIX
teen or seventeen-year-old farm boy
probably better able physically than his
old, WORKOUT father, to do farm work,
would have to be maintained in idlenes5
while the old man did the work OF it was
left undone. A boy of that age, perhaps
the sole support of a widowed mother
without income, could not labor even part
time for her support. He must loaf and Oe
supported by the State while his mother
becomes an object of charity.
Examples can be multiplied by hundreds
and thousands. The adoption of this
amendment and the resulting enactment o.
federal laws, to be enforced by Washing
ton bureaucrats, will result in untold diff
cuIties and problems and in more trouble
and expense than can be financed by the
alleged unlimited income of Uncle Sam.
The facts are that this amendment was
proposed ten years ago, and that in the
past ten years practically every form OF
harmful child labor has disappeared from
this country Children are no longer enl-
plOyed in mines, or in mills or factories
under injurious conditions for long hours.
Young people working now, do so foc

for pay that is ample in most cases.

would go to the extreme of compelling ali
persons to loaf until they reach the age of
eighteen years. In the meantime. if finan-
cially unable to care for themselves, or if
the children of parents unable to care for
them, they would become charges on the
State and would have to be maintained at
public expense, although probably able
and willing to finance themselves by all or
part time employment under favorable
conditions

Strict Enforcing
OF Auto License
Law Is Promised
The Times-News Bureau

RALEIGH, Dec. 9.-The auto
mobile owners of the state may
think Governor JOB. Ehring-
hauS and the department Of re-
venue are merely joking with
them in saying that the automo-
bile license law will he strictly
enforced this year and that all
drivers that do not have their
new licenses plates by January
will be arrested. But Cover
nor Ehringhaus and ConmissiCr-
er A. J. Maxwell indicated again
today that they are not joking
and that orders have already
been issued to the state highway
patrol to enforce the law to the
letter, beginning at sunrise,
January /.
"A good many people seem to
have the impression that the
governor and Commissioner Max
well are merely Kidding them.
about enforcing the license law,
Captain Charles d Farmer, COM
mander Of the patrol said today.
but those who do not have
their new plates by January |
are going to find out that no
one has been kidding them, since
the highway patrolmen are go
ing to start making arrests in
accordance with the law on jan
uary l.. with no excuses taken.
So the only thing for automobile
owners to do, unless they want
to be arrested and pay fine in
addition to the cost of a new
license, is to buy their new
license plates before January t.
In other states, such as New
Jersey, Maryland and Pennsyl,
vania, the highway patrolmen
start aresting motorists that do
not have new license plates at
of December 81, Cap
tain Farmer said. The people ia
those states know this, however,
with the result that they make
sure to get their new license
plates before that date. !
The fact that in past years the
of revenue has been
lenient with those who
have not obtained their license
plates before January l is max
