Does Music SOothe the Nerves?
(NeW York TimeS.)

Some people when working at a task requiring concentration are annoyed by music; others ma that music subconscious relaxation dur ing their work which helps the task along. New tests just reported to The Journal of the Acoustca Society" from Tokio Imperial University indicate that at the end of white -coarded workers day of adding figures little soft music as office background noise would increase his efficiency.
 Juichi Obata Sakae Morita, Kinichi Hrose and Hiroshi Matsumotot of the Japanese university, tested the efficiency of both children and adults under the following sound conditions: complete silence monotonous noise of pebbles rattling in box scratching noise and loud and soft phono- graph records.
 Before fatigue developed it was found that ordinary noise cut down the efficiency per cent Music at this time seemed to produce greater reduction in efficiency. photograph record played softly decreased efficiency by per cent while one played loudly cut down accuracy per cent. The type of music played, whether jazz, symphonic orchestra selections instrumental solos, childrens songs or marches seemed to make little difference. The intensity of the sound appeared as a pre- dominating factor.

failed, nevertheless, for John Stafford
had not once returned her smiles.
Diane was too wrapped in depression
to go to the green room where the world
of fashion awaited to pay her talents
and beauty homage and to speculate on
her resistance to the prince. Instead
she threw a cloak about her dropping
shoulders and hurried out of a back
entrance.
Mr.. Sheridan, who had perceived her
mood, and, indeed, the great man was
said to have had a second sight when it
came to his actresses, awaited Diane at
the mouth of the lane For an exciting,
breathless moment she had thought that
John Stafford had arranged for the Sug-
gested introduction through Mr. Sheri-
dan and her cheeks had famed as she
had cast glance thither and yon for an
other, tall dark fgure!- But Mr.. Sheri-
dams mission was for a more important
parsonage. The prince, Mr.. Sheridan
told her as best he could, for he was in
his cups, lay in a dying condition in Mr..
Sheridan'S own quarters in the theater.
His royal highness had packed the Lady
Jersey on her way, with no mincing of
words. Then he had stabbed himself
over the heart because of DANES cruel
indifference. Diane, also, could save his
royal life! . the hope Of all England!
=. the future of the people!
Don't preach to me, Mr.. Sheridan"
she said coldly Il sicken at the thought
of the prince!"
Mr.. Sheridan threw a heavy, shocked
glance at her
Good Ged! Madam! The man Is
dying! Have you no patriotism for
your country Surely if you have not
enough love in that stone that is your
heart to save the life of a good prince,
have you not enough love for the royal
parents! The future of all Eng

EUeu Corn St0ver VtaI

THE drought in the West is certain to affect
the Southern and Southeastern States al
though they found growing conditions almost
ideal this year.
The reason is that Southern farmers have
been in the habit of importing timothy hay and
other forage crops from the Midwest. This
year, the Midwest will have no hay to send
South unless at very high prices. This situation
means that the Southern farmer must change
his methods somewhat and save all the hay
he can. Even corn stover and straw will be val
liable although under normal circumstances it
would hardly be considered for feed in the

ism in the enchanting smile. The audi
ence did not know that Diane had not
so much as seen the royal couple, nor,
indeed, the Prince of Wales on whom
rested all their future hopes, but that
the lovely eyes had drifted to Mr.. Sheri-
dams box where sat the despicable cav
alier, leaning a little back in the gilt
chair and surveying her with eyes that
bespoke no hidden hiss for a woman who
trod the theatrical boards.
In that one searching flash she saw
that his clothes suited him magnificently
we'll uglifying all the men about him.
Once again she thought: "Ah, yes! He
is more princely than the fat prince who
ogles me from the royal box this very
minute and who will send his intimate,
Charles Fox, to beseech me relent!"
1t is hard to believe that girl could
spurn such advances, but Diane did just
that and likewise gave the performance
Of her career. For she played to John
Stafford that night, glancing often at
him during her lines, pursing her lips
as if to meet his lipss instead of the
Stage-lover who seconded her John
Stafford sitting there linking and un-
linking his long fingers against his velvet
breeches, saw and wondered. And be-
cause he was not man Of conceit, he
feared that the honeyed words and
warm glanceS were darted at the prince,
who obviously had the same impression.
1t was not until the Lady Jersey who
sat next to the prince suddenly gathered
her full cloak about her shoulders and
marched out of the royal box in an in
dignant huff. that John Stafford was
sure where the lovely glances had truly
fallen. And when the prince did not
follow the Lady Jersey his great heart
sank in his breast. John Stafford knew
then what it was to want to strangle a
man!
Diane, so sure was she of her lines and
her acting, had seen the Lady Jersey
leave 1t was now that she began to
understand the full significance of the
fingers that had lashed her cheeks that
very afternoon! Jealousy! And she had
not suspected! She smiled broadly,
though her lines demanded not 50
much merriment, and John Stafford
seeing, thought: "A smile of conquest,
if ever I beheld one Lud! what fool I
am to think of myself, a clumsy colonial,
in competition with a royal blood!"
\h/HEN Diane finally stepped off of the
stage after an elaborate curtsey to
the royal box, it was with the most pain
full sense of failure that she had ever

conclusive of her artistry. But she had

Student Poetry
Continued from Fourth Page.


Is turning the tide to a new era of cooperation
and genuine personal courage and initiative.
There is hope for America in such youth
emerging lean and weather-beaten from the
depression These modern boys and girls do
not complain. they do not berate society. In
stead of cursing fate they are purpoSeful, ready
either to adapt themselves to friendlier social
order or to reshape their environment MASTER
fully to suit their own ideas
The contest, which attracted nearly 5000
manuscripts, representing AZ States and 2O5
colleges has been accepted generally indica-
tive of the trend of student thought. Oddly
enough there are no entries from Princeton.
DR ROBERT G. ALBION of the Princeton
- faculty offers some interesting material in
another survey which tends to show that at
Princeton, anyway, Shakespeare, Byron and
Browning are losing their popularity. Eco
nomcs politics, history and the social sciences
are supplanting literature. Apparently where
this is true, the tendency to write poetry de-
creases. The desire to put love into rhythm
seems to die out, if not disappear entirely.
DR.. Albions survey consisted of more than
80, 900 choices of major fields of study at Har-
ward, Yale, Princeton, Wellesley, VasSar and
Smith English stood first everywhere-except
Princeton.
Women, even college girls economically in
dependent as they may claim they are or want
to be, still shun the practical subjects. They
write more than twice as many poems about
love and its gestures as do their masculine con-
temporarieS.

sible. He also is the one who must iron out
all OF the difficulties of the stars and act as
peacemaker whenever any trouble arises.
He is in direct command of all physical
properties used in making a picture. He is the
one who determines how much money may be
spent the sets and costumes. If location
trip is necessary, he must arrange for the
transportation and meals for the entire COM
pany If bad weather suddenly overtakes a
troupe on location, he must have a set ready
for them to shoot interior scenes by the time
they get back into the studio.
Most difficult of all the studio managers
duties, however is his handling of the stars
the human high-explosives. He assigns all Of
the dressing rooms and must make each actor
feel that his is little better than any of the
others. If a sudden switch in shooting sched-
uleS makes it necessary for a star to break an
important engagement in order to work until
midnight. it falls to the studio manager to
inform him or her of this change and do it
in such manner to avoid any tempera-
mental outburstS.
IF AN actor has gone into hiding" and Is
] needed for retakes, the studio manager must
find him and make sure that he is back in
the studio when needed. If there is an argu-
ment between a director and star, 1t is up to
the studio manager to bring about peace and
very automatically inform the star that the
director is boss and what he says goes.
In fact, practically every unpleasant job in
the studio is showed on to the shoulders of the
general manager. And he doesn't even get the
reward of baSking in glory such as comes to a
director for a picture we'll made.
Without doubt these two positions are the
"hot spots of studio. The men filling them
never are finished. After others have gone
home to dinner to parties they can be
found preparing for the next days activities.
Yet one hears less complaints from them than
from almost any others in the film factories

words? There probably never was
man SO ridiculous when playing the part
of lover as the Prince of Wales To
have himself bled that he might make
himself look interesting to some fair
lady was no unusual trick with him.
He had stabbed himself before!
"Madam l beSeech you! L -"
Diane cut Mr. Sheridan short almost
in an agony. Il beg of you, no more
of this! Go back to your prince with
the message that it is my patriotism
that forbids my return! He would serve
England better as corpse than as
king! Goodnight, Mr.. Sheridan!'
Diane could not know that she had
uttered prophecy, for the career Of
George the Fourth is history.
THE same April gale that had bereft
duchess of a wig now extinguished
the Pickering lights of the street lamps
leaving the narrow way path of blind
ing darkness.
Diane was not alone on the smooth
fagstone for lugubrious figure walked
as stealthily as a foot pad behind her.
1t was an eere hour and Diane, speeding
along in the darkness, wondered if fate
had thrown her into more revolving
situation than the one from which she
was fleeing?
And then a voice. "Ged, Madam!
Wait! Pray watt"
The heart that was sunk SO low and
trembling with fright few in a fluttering
70 hot hot
gentle, foreign accent!
John Stafford was beside her now,
matching his gait with her mincing one.
"Lud, madam I sought to escape the
maelstrom of the green room" he began,
his eyes fastened on her upturned face.
"And in truth I could not bear the dis
heartening sight of you flashing witches
glances at his royal highness. A thou
sand pardonS, madam, but I overheard
your infiamed words with Mr.. Sheridan
while you stood in the lane, and my own
worst fears were dissipated." He paused
as if to gather courage. Then he said:
II sail at dawn in a fortnight for Vir-
ginia, madam, and I would be honored
if you would go to America with me,
as my wife"
Diane stopped from sheer exhaustion.
John Stafford was staring at her with
a love inexpressible in any words, and
needing none, for in the next minute
she was in his arms of her own volition
and her slender, ringless fingers-and 1t
is to be remembered that those same
fingers could have been bedecked with
the rarest jewels of a great kingdOm-kI
were clasped about his neck.
