Nothing so sublime has been placed
at the disposal of humanity as music.
Where human sympathy exhausts
itself, music carries on. Where human
understanding cannot enter, music
finds the way. Truths that are diff
cult to understand become clear as
the day when linked to music. and
virtues that one has lost faith in are
recreated through the magic Of music
How could the world exist without
the divine gift of music? How would
the monotony of living be lessened if
the strains of music were hushed?
How would one know there are greater
beauties than the bodily eyes have
seen if the Creator had not blessed
His creatures with music?
At this Thanksgiving period one
should not forget to be thankful for
whatever degree Of musical appre-
citation one possesses. Whether as
creator, as teacher, executant or SIM
ply music lover special gift has
been yours and a finer vision of beauty
bestowed upon you. The degree Of
talent may vary and the circum-
stances permitting of its development
not always propitious, but the simple
fact that one is responsive to music
should incline one to greater graft
tude.
II one cannot do ones self, one can
be thankful that the great musical
creators were capable of expressing
their comprehension of a music be-
yond the ken of ordinary ears and
~ 1Aff F0y hA
fruits of their particular talent. The
great artists whose names are i'm
perishable have known keener suffer-
ing and struggle because they were
impelled to give out to an unknowing
world some still undiscovered beauty
in the masterpieces. One should be
grateful that they had the strength to
work and to utilize their talent for
the benefit and pleasure of many. 1t
is something to be grateful for that
teachers have sought the best means
of making music clear and helped to
keep it alive in our midst And, above
all. one should be thankful that they
love music sufficiently to want to
patronize it and be one with those
who have been especially singled out
for its disciples.
Whatever may be the material or
mental condition, there is some kind
of music to fill the need. No one
who has sought an outlet in music has
ever turned away unSatisfied. Nor
need one be confined to the study or
hearing Of classical works, for much
of the simpler music carries the same
element of beauty that is found in
the more serious form. There are
many opportunities where those who
love music may gather to enjoy it
informally The Y. w. C. A. in its
Sunday music hour and community
sings, the community center in spon-
soring an amateur orchestra and other
amateur enterprises, the church choirs
with their special music services, are
providing occasions where one may

A LESSON can be learned Of what
Z can be done to overcome handi-
caps If the love Of music is strong
enough in the story Of Paul Witt
genstein, the one-armed pianist.
who made his New York debut with
the Boston Symphony Orchestra
under DR.. Koussevitsky, November II.
A wound received while fighting in
the Austrian Army during the first
year Of the World War neceSsitated
the amputation Of his right arm. No
greater calamity could happen to q
pianist, for it would mean but one
thing-the end of a musical career.
However, Mr.. Wittgenstein thought
not once of giving up music, but set
himself to figure out how he could
continue. In an interview given the
day he arrived In this country he told
his story:
Il thought at first I might become
a professor Of music history. but I
naturally wanted to continue the
piano If I could I had just given
my first concert in Vienna when the
war was declared. I was wounded
near Zamosce, which then belonged
to Russia. After being sent from one
hospital to another landed in
concentration camp at Omsk. The
Russian camp commander, because of
his German name, was afraid of being
suspected of German Sympathies, SO
refused all musical instruments to
German and Austrian prisoners. 1t
was not sheer maliciousneSs, as can
see now, but I cursed him at the
time"
II remained in camp for six
months, always wondering what I
could do with my career. 1 wrote my
mother in Vienna to ask my teacher
in theory, Prof. Labor, to write a
left-hand concerto for me. My
mother wrote that when she went to
see him he had already been for six
weeks at work on a concerto for me-
He had anticipated my need.
An exchange OF prisoners returned
me to Vienna in 1915. First, COL
lected everything written for left
hand alone-the Godowsky transcript
tions SO marvelously pianistic, and
other works. Then began making
arrangements of my own. This was
difficult, for some things at first
seemed good, but when I worked over
them they didn't seem fairly to repre-
sent the music. But I kept on
gave a concert, playing Labor's con-
certo."
Since that first essay. Mr.. wittgen-
stein has commissioned several COM
posers to write compositions for the
left hand for him. Some, whose
works he has played. are Richard
Strauss, Erick Korngold, Franz
Schmidt, Serge Bortkiewfcz and Ravel
He played the latter's work, which
was composed in 1881, at his New
York debut, scoring an immediate
success with his artistic performance
of difficult number.

that your father and his wife

feel that. under most circum-

good sounding. to use the first
name.

U. S. BOARD IS
CAUTIOUS ON
STOCK POLICY
Care Exercised 10 Avoid
Any Disturbance on
Wall Street.

81 Scripps-RouGrd Newspaper AHi0rcs
WASHINGTON. Aug. l0.-The
national securities exchange COM
mission has adopted a careful and
cautious policy in regulation Of
stock exchanges in order 10 avoid
any disturbance Of the market and
to achieve a longtime effectiveness
of government supervision.
This was the explanation today
by officials OF the decision 70 waive
until June next year, the strict
listing requirements imposed upon
corporations by the stock mark
act in favor of temporary and less
rigid method Of registration.
The commission in tempering its
regulations. is acting within the
law which gives it the option Of de-
ferring strict requirements speci-
fed by the act until June /, 1885, If
it deems this necessary or appro-
pirate in the public interest or for
the protection OF investors.
Conditions Are Guide
This means that the commission
will not require from corporations
for the present the detailed reports
and information which the law sets
forth as a requisite for listing of
their stocks upon exchanges.
officials explain that they are
guided by definite conditions I'M
position of rigid restrictions at this
time, they fear, would cause many
corporations to withdraw their Sc
curities from exchanges. While
Chairman Joseph P Kennedy said
no threats have been received, he
regards this fear as we'll grounded,
as do other members of the COM
mission. The whole commission IA
vored a careful course.
The major objective at this stage
is to bring all listed corporations
under the blanket of federal regu-
lation, it was explained, so that SUI
pervision will be complete and eff
fectiVe. Refusal of corporations to
list their stocks at the outset would
initiate against the underlying pur-
pose of the act and Of the commits
sio-, they feel AS far as possible,
the commission desires cooperation,
though determined not to sacrifice
its regulatory functions in any i'm
portant particular.
War Scare Hits Stocks
1t is faced, too, at this time by a
nervous market that reacts quickly
as was demonstrated few DAYS
ago when stocks plunged on erro-
neouS European war scare rumOrs.
The law requires comprehensive
data, including quarterly reports IN
considerable detail; organization
and financial structure of the bust
ness; the terms, position, rights and
privileges of the different classes of
securities outstanding; the terms on
which securities have been offered
to the public, salaries to others than
directors and officers over $4,000;
bonus and profit-sharing arrange
ments; management and service
contracts; options and the like.
Mr. Kennedy expects to make
public Tuesday the new rules and
regulations governing stock eX-
changes and the temporary regiStra-
ton requirements. They have been
discussed in the last few days with
representatives of the New York
and Curb exchange as we'll as other
exchanges who have found them,
according to the chairman, very
fair and reasonable"
