John Sebastian Bach.

John Sebastian Bach, considered
1.-THE Father Of Modern Music, was
born two hundred and fifty years ago
today. He inherited the elements of
his genius from forebears who had
been melodists by nature, a family of
singers as indigenous to Thuringia as
its hills, its streams and its forests.
And as the tradition of his tribe was
rich, so the instruction which he had
at the hands of his elder brother and
his uncle was competent. The future
master was qualified for the post of
organist at Arnstadt at nineteen and
for an even more important assign
ment at Mulhausen at twenty-one He
was hofkonzertneister to the Duke of
Weimar at thirty. kapellmeister TO the
Duke. of cothen at forty, and the
honored guest of Frederick the Great
at Potsdam at flfty-eight,
But the career of the Olympian
composer also had its shadows. Pow
erty handicapped him in his youth, two
marriages and twenty children brought
him heavy responsibilities and his de-
votion to new methods and manners
in composition and execution rem
dered him unpopular with his pro-
fessional contemporaries Like Handel.

ness could not rob him of the harmony

it. gave to il all that he had and re-
ceived back from 1t all that he is
remembered TO have been.
BY the date Of his death, July 2s,
l7So. his fame as q player was assured,
but another century was required be-
fore the more comprehensive value Of
his compositions was understood. Mod
ern presentations of his works-the
annual Bach festival at Bethlehem,
Pa, for example-have served to es-
tablish him as the mightiest OF the
polyphonists. He was the spiritual
father Of Mendelssohn, Wagner and
Brahms. If not of Mozart. Beethoven
and Chopin: and every musician Of
the twentieth century is In his debt.
He reigns over the whole universal
empire Of song-a monarch Of noble
and glorious art upon whose unfading
crown shines the star Of truth which
was his inspiration. his goal and his
reward.
Two and q half centuries is but a
little span of time for ssch q character
to grow in the mind of his race. In
another period Of equal length his
fifth centenary will be celebrated. and
on that occasion Bach may be COM
memorated adequately. The great
audience" Walt Whitman foretold
should be available in 2l85.

Father Coughlin, Banks
And General Johnson

To the Editor of The Star:
In Mr.. David Lawrence's article In
your paper one day last week he
points out: eff banking is as profit
able as Father Coughlin says 1t Is.
then there should have been no
losses in the banks that were closed
in the bank holiday"
I would like to ask Mr.. Lawrence
If that is the reason why the Bank
of United States and, in fact, many
other banks we're closed even before
the bank holiday.
Even nowadays q conservatively
operated bank Is making money
plenty of it, but due to the strict
supervision Of national banking laws
well, its rather hard for banking
officials to get away with something
so easily.
While do not agree with Father
Coughlin's views, I appreciate the fact
that as a man he acted as such when
he came back at Gen. johnson in
the same spirit as the said general
came at him.
Gen. johnson brought this issue up
as Of his own accord, and If he will let
the matter drop from the public eye
or public ear, except from the stand-
point of a frank discussion of issues,
such as Mr.. Lawrence explained, he
will be doing this country of ours q

Nevertheless, 1t is customary to say,
for example, that q girls heart is
broken" when her affections have been
thwarted.
The association Is 80 commonly ac-
cepted. says DR.. Karpman, that un-
consciously. and entirely without any
intention on the part Of the person
to deceive, some mishap in love mani
tests itself physically as O pain In
the heart" The source often is difi-
cult to trace because the patient may
not even admit to himself the love
thwarting."
Do you have sleepless nights?
If so, says DR.. Karpman, speaking
from the point of view of the psyche
analyst, it may be for some such rea-
son as these:
You are afraid Of talking in your
sleep and thus revealing some closely
guarded secret.
You are afraid something you are
worrying about will happen while you
are unconscious and hence unable to
do anything about it.
You are afraid something of inter-
est may be going on In the house
which you will nissan especially
potent cause of sleeplessneSs in chill
dren.
Not that any of these reasons are
consciously in the mind of the victim
of insomnia. They operate below the
level OF consciousness and the victim
of insomnia can't assign any valid
reason for his sleeplessness.
One OF the worst enemies of the
human race Is the tiny bacterium, the
hemolytic streptococcus.
1t Is the causative agent of such
diseases as scarlet fever, septic sore
throat, erysipelas, perhaps rheumatic
fever and arthritis, and several other
diseases. It operates to the detriment
of It's victim through several of its
metabolic products-its toxins.
One of these Is the producing
toxin. whose effects are especially
notable in scarlet fever. Another is
the hemolysin, responsible for the
disappearance Of red blood cells and
the agent which produces death in
many Of the streptococcic infections.
A third, recently discovered, is fibrin-
olysin. which destroys the substance
responsible for clotting of the blood,
and may turn out to be the most i'm
portant Of all.
Bacteriologists never have been
agreed as to why the streptococci
sometimes strike in one direction and
sometimes In another. Are there diff
ferent species? Does 1t depend on
the number, or the gate of entry to
the body, or the state of resistance of
the Individual?
Experiments are being conducted
at the National Institute of Health
to determine whether q single strepto-
coccus antitoxin with combat success

and If 50 whether a single antitoxin
of therapeutic value for all the NAL
aides caused by this organism is q
possibility.
These experiments were described
the other night to members Of the in
ternal medicine section Of the Medical
Society Of the District Of Columbia by
DR.. M. v. Veldee Of the staff of the
national institute. They still are in
progress, but are shedding new light
on the nature Of the streptococcus

ply q plain statement OF an existing
situation Of which most dog owners
have never heard.
Since learning about this terrible
thing. after . visit to the hospital Of
DR.. Irving Cashell, we have asked
many dog lovers II they had ever
heard Of the dog heart worm, and not
q one had.
Therefore 1t must be realized that
the first necessary step In the future
control Of this menace to the canine
world must be the realization by all
persons who love dogs Of the actual
presence Of such q disease In dogdtm.
Something there Is about this heart
worm. actually at work living in the
tissues Of the great vital pump, which
somehow affects q hearer In q terrible
new way. Most persons nowadays
have heard of the various intestinal
worms, including the tape worm, and
know that dogs and eats are subject
to them.
Worming the dog, as It Is called, Is q
common procedure, often undertaken
1gnorantly. with terrible strain on the
animal. Properly done, "worming" is
good Tor an animal, and saves 1t much
sickness and discomfort.
4***
The vicious heart worm, however.
Is creature the dog owner cannot get
rid Of so easily.
1t must be realized that this is a
work for an expert.
The blood Of the dog must be steril-
lied, and this must be done cautiously.
in order not to stir up the worms and
cause them to crawl up into the vital
tubes OF the heart, ensuing in blood
stoppage and death.
We remind any squeamish reader
that this Is q great deal worse for a
dog to suffer than for a human being
to read about.
What can the average dog lover do
about this?
Perhaps the best thing he can do
is to concentrate on the hygiene Of
his own dog, especially If 1t has been
South for the Winter.
He will keep 1t clean, and more
than ever before he will keep track
OF 1t, and keep 1t in at night.
This business OF permitting a dog
to run whittier its sweet will propels
1t Is at best an unthinking procedure.
1t is not good for dogs, individually.
and 1t not good for dogs as . class of
living creatures.
The dog that next Summer Is per-
mitted unrestricted roaming procliv-
tiles may be bitten by a MOSQUITO
that has previously drunk the in
fected blood OF poor dog suffering
from heart worm.
In that case q new dog will be
afiiicted-and the sad part of it will
be. in all probability. that neither
owner will have the slightest idea Of
the trouble.
1t must be kept In mind that ignor-
ance Is no excuse. either In law or
disease.
1t must not be supposed that every
dog is liable to this disease, but If a
united attack is to be made upon it
something must be done by all per-
sons of intelligence who are in any
way interested In this friend of man.
There always will be plenty of per-
sons who neither care nor would do
anything If they knew. This cannot
be helped, and is simply another OBJ
stacle to be to be overcome.
What is helpful, at this stage, since
the heart worm at last has reached
Washington, is a recognition that
such a malady does exist, and that If
a dog shows symptoms as given above
there is a possibility that he Is so
afiiicted. Dogs depend so upon hu-
manity that no one should be re-
miss In helping them.

While some observers agree with the
New York Times opinion that Gen.
Johnson sis to be thanked for taking
his courage in both hands" to lambast
Father Coughlin and Huey Long, a
large section Of the press is inclined
to view the three -cornered verbal
battle chiefly as light entertainment
for those who care to listen.
Somehow we feel it is of no bene-
fit," says the Lowell Courier Citizen,
ito be filling the air with these at
tacks and counter-attacks. In any
case, it shows up American politics in
its least alluring guise. There is no
Giscoverable reason why any one
should accept either Huey Long, Gen.
Johnson or the reverend cleric of De-
troit as an oracle of wisdom concern
ing national policy. Thus far the in
dication is that each is capable OF
purveying more heat than light"
Personal denunciation may some
times amuse," according to the Knox
vile Journal, "but it never conduces
to clear thinking or good feeling,
mental attitudes that are essential to
united effort in the advancement of a
great national program" The James
town IN. " Post thinks: 80 long as
they continue to pay their respects to
each other they will have auditors
The public could get along quite COM
fortably in the absence of utterance
from all of the three"
I'VE wonder" remarks the Lynch
burg (Va) Advance, what good these
compliments between the three men
have done toward solving some Of the
pertinent issues of the day. Perhaps
the American public enjoys the ex-
change of words, but is this sort of
thing any contribution to an intelli-
gent discussion Of the problems facing
the Nation?" The Baltimore Sun
offers the verdict: THE multitudinous
Punchinellos who now confuse our
counsels have built their plans for
domination. Perhaps in the end they
will be frustrated by the existence of
some millions of plain Americans who
enjoy the show that these fellows put
on, but would not take their word on
anything"
Discussing the position of Senator
Long, the Portland Oregon Journal
predicts that "as soon as he is strip
ped of his protectors he will be dis
closed as a figure of weakness" That
paper feels that eventually his ambi-
tions will be treated as national joke.
A much more serious view is taken
by the Milwaukee journal: mo one
rises to refute their proposals. no one
speaks firmly In defense of the third
sector of the American people-the
sector, as Gen. johnson sees 1t, that
Is trying to take q sensible middle
course and that is led by President
Roosevelt. Whether one agrees with
Gen. johnson or not, his fearlessness,
his clearness of statement, and his
readiness to take it" as well as dish
it out" arouses admiration. And we
do need some Of his kind of plain
talk in these times We need men
willing to refute the plans of the
