first born in the mind and heart can
be but transient color, fading in a
strong sunlight.
THE number of concerts heard in
each city during a season will not
make us a musical Nation. This Is
only possible when the spiritual mes
sage of music is more generally de-
manded than its mere outward form.
1t has been universally agreed. by now,
that music is necessary to country's
development, but it is incorrect to
assume that the business of making
music will carry the desired effect.
Students must be made to seek for
the meaning of music from the very
beginning, and audiences to give
greater recognition to artists who
demonstrate a finer sensibility above
those who are technically dazzling.
Everywhere about us lie sources from
which can be garnered the precious
stuff that goes into the creation of
musical Interpretation. Great minds
have left their priceless thoughts in
poetry and prose, the reading of
which can cause other minds to ex-
pand in sympathy. On every side
stand beauties of nature, perhaps the
most powerful stimulant to grandeur of
thought. The harmony of line, the
infinite variety of color, the chang
ing shadows, the majesty of the ele-
ments and the starry peace of the
night sky are inexhaustible in their
potency for inspiration. if the ma
terial- human would but under
stand. The wind. the sea and the
rivulet ceaselessly proclaim their mes
sage, yet the human ear is dull to
comprehend it.
In everyday life there are count
less opportunities to put noble senti-
ments to test. so that the steps by
which they grow in greatness can be
followed, one by one. Generosity, un-
selfishness, sacrifice. and courage can
be studied, if the occasions, so null
tiple on every hand. be seized upon.
1t is only when all the gamut of
feeling is understood. not only men,
tally but emotionally that one has
the right to proclaim his fitness to
artistic expression.
A A THE outset of a new season it is
well to have in mind gauge for
the real capability of an artist. In
stead Of resenting such measure
ment, an artist worthy of his name
will welcome the incentive which such
a critical attitude will produce. An
artist. or student, for that matter
is dependent on the demands of his
public to form an estimate of his own
work. If the majority of easily-satis-
fled musicians could realize how
deadly and how hopeless it is for an
artist, rich in dreams and beautiful
ideas, to find listeners incapable OF
understanding. or what is worse, not
wishing to understand. he would do
his part in upholding the standard
of musical outgiving.
So we, who are looking forward to
the feast of music already announced
for our delectation, should seriously
consider the duty that lies before us.
First that the ingredients that make
food for the mind and soul to flourish
on predominant. and that their ex-
preston be given careful considera-
ton in every phase and measure.
There will be young artists here this
Winter still needing direction in their
careers, and older artists still needing
the instigation to greater achieve
mentS.

GARBAGE CANS
MUST CQNFORN

During the hot summer months
it is more important than ever
that all property owners cooperate
! adequate facilities for garbage dis
posal. A sufficient number of
garbage cans not exceeding 16 gal
Ions in size must be furnished by
the proprietor of all restaurants,
cafes, soft drink stands. soda foun-
tains, etc. and all residents. The
city council has authorized the en-
ployment CT an inspector who will
make a check on local conditions,
said DR.. Warren F. Fox, city health
officer, "and notices will be served
when provisions are not adequate
DR.. Fox pointed out that where
several food establishments are To-
Gated close together a wire cage or
similar Contailer could be prOvld-
ed for the safekeeping of garbage
cans and refuse cans, each prOpri-
etor having & key to this compart-
ment and likewise the collector.
This does away with maulng over
the contents Of the containers by
individuals passing through the al
leyS and prevents the cans from be-
ing stolen"
Regarding the protection of gar
bage cans in tie alleys in the resi-
dental districts, DR.. FOX said there
are various Ways of protecting the
cans so that animals could not get
to contents. and the cans would
biles. One Of the simplest ways
is to suspend the can from a metal
post"
In order to prevent fly-breed-
ing and tbus diminish the spread
of disease. it is essential that we
have the utmost cooperation of our
citizens" he said Garbage must
not be empticd into trash recep-
tacleS, and metal covers must al
ways be provided for garbage cans"

Much Interest In
Test Case OUer
Bond Refinancing

Attorneys for irrigation districts
in California have been meeting in
San Francisco for the purpose of
discussing the details of the NUM-
cipal refinancing statute under
which the local irrigation district
has filed a. petition for the refin-
ancing of its bonds refunding pro-
gram, it was learned here today.
These attorneys, it was said, are
assisting each other, the state aSSo-
citation and all districts in the state
to unite in a concrete effort to take
action in the federal supreme court
in case any local case is appealed
to that court by objectorS.
Particular attention, it is said, is
focused on a case to be heard be
fore Judge Cosgrave in federal
court Los Angeles. Monday in
which the Merced Irrigation Dis
trict is concerned.
Charles Childers. former Imper-
ial Irrigation District attorney, is
appearing in this case as attorney
for an objectOr and will move the
dismissal of the action brought by
the Merced district on grounds that
the municipal refinancing statute is
unconstitutional. Such declara-
tion by the federal court, it was
stated, would handicap the local ir-
rigation district in its operations
and practically nullify its efforts to
carry out the proposed bond re-
funding program.
