Foul Bawl!

City coming board members
are wondering today if they
have been insulted. In fact,
they're pretty sure they have
been.
1t happened yesterday. IN
der consideration was pro-
posed funeral parlor at 5342 E.
Westinghouse.
Residents of the vicinity
asked the board to turn
thumbs down on the icea.
They said it was depressing
because a lot of people would
have their day ruined by the
sight of a funeral first thing
IN the morning.
Besides, the streets are
narrow and there would be a
traffic hazard, they said.
One woman was particularly
concerned. She sat on the edge
of a table and made remarks.
The board heard both sides
and unanimously voted ap-
proval.
why, the dirty skunks!" she
said.
The meeting adjourned.

Depression Sour Note for Music,
Veteran Violin Maker Here Claims
Arthur r. BoIes Regrets
Lack of Scent Jews
Harp for Boys.
BY JOE COLLIER

One thing about the depression,
it has brought on demand in the
juvenile musical instrument market
for a nickel jew's-harp, and to
Arthur r. Boles, violin maker, that's
been one of the hardest things of
all to deal with.
1t isn't that he wants to keep the
Youngsters from their music. But
there's just no such thing as jews
harp, he says, that can sell for S
cents.
They don't play true-the metals
not good, and the tongue is worse,
Mr. Boles insists Mr.. Boles runs
a shop at 668 E. st. Clair-st.
Yet, because of the depression,
the youngsters who, in prosperity,
would be buying violins and horns
and saxophones, now come running
is for jew's-harps.
Moreover, Mr.. Boles, who is IS,
thinks the musicless depression is
going right on and on. He notices
no more calls today for the really
good horses tails for violin bow
strings than he did year ago. They
take inferior hair and then are very
unhappy over it when it makes
squeaky tone, he said.
Built Last Violin
He hasn't built violin for eight
years and probably won't ever build
another, he said. Those he has
built and has in stock have been
reduced in price.
Another thing more people come
running to him and stammer out
that, what does he think, they've
found a real Stradivarius violin.
Mr. Boles has two violins with
Stradivarius labels on them he'll
sell for ST. The reason is that a lot
Of factory-made violins all have
Stradivarius labels in them.
Besides, Stradivarius couldn't
make any better fiddle than a good
workman today, Mr. Boles believes,
but the Stradivarius is priced as an
antique.
Lowdown on Stradivarius
The reason there are more of his
make than of others who may nave
been just as good in his day is that
Stradivarius made so many pres
ents to royalty who handed them
down from generation to generation.
Probably NOBODY ever played them
much, Mr.. Boles believes.
The depression has been really
serious to the musical future of the
nation, Mr.. Boles claims. He is let
ting a high school boy carry out the
furnace. ashes once week in pay
ment for guitar the boy plays with
some skill.
AS for himself, Mr.. Boles. who is
cousin of John Boles, the movie &C
tor, has managed to keep out the
wolf by repair business. When vio-
Inns break, he mends them.
Plays Some Himself
You have to be expert to do that,
and Mr.. Boles, who has worked
with the largest musical instrument
dealers in the world, considers him
self expert.
AS for playing the violin himself,
Mr.. Boles admits he saws around
on a fiddle now and then" but he
says making fiddles took so much
time away from playing them that
he had to choose between the two.
He wouldn't be interested in any
thing but concert playing anyway.
he says.

HOUSE PAYS TRIBUTE
TO J. EDGAR HOOVER
Speech Before Police Chiefs Is
Ordered Printed in Con-
gressional Record.

The House yesterday paid extraor-
binary tribute to J. Edgar Hoover.
chief of the Bureau of Investigation of
the Department of Justice, who was
lauded by several speakers as one of
the most valuable men in the Govern
ment service and the agency under
his direction one of the most efdcient
and effective.
Representative Connery, Democrat,
of Massachusetts,, sought unanimous
consent to have printed in the Con-
gressional Record the recent speech
by Mr.. Hoover at the convention of
police chiefs in Atlantic City.
Representative Rich, Republican, Of
Pennsylvania, a jealous protector OF
the Congressional Record, at first OBJ
jected, saying that there are so many
assistant secretaries and various minor
officials in Washington today who are
eager to get their speeches in the
Record that he believes extreme care
should be exercised to prevent an in
undation by speakers.
Both Representative Connery and
Blanton, Democrat, of Texas COM
mented strongly on the services that
Mr.. Hoover is performing, citing the
many recent cases in which the
greatest criminal offenders have been
apprehended.
Representative Connery said the
speech was one which should 60 be-
fore all the people Of the country to
show them what is being done by the
Department of Justice to detect and
punish criminals. The House Wgor-
ously applauded both of the speeches
in praise of Mr.. Hoover's work, and
Representative Rich withdrew his OBJ
lection.
