THIS AND THAT
BY CHARLES E. TRACEWELL.

about that length Of time, during which
he had not heard a note from q radio,
could not help smiling, despite himself,
at the queer antics Of trumpets, the
sliding accomplishments of horns, the
silly business in q hunderd different
silly ways Of those young fellers in an
orchestra somewhere.
~
This type Of music appeals particularly
to two groups of persons-those who
know little about music, and those who
know great deal.
The in-between group, those VINO
merely think they know something about
it, usually proclaim their dislike for
"jazz music" as they still call it, while
often secretely liking it.
There is nothing incompatible between
dance tunes and what some fondly call
better class music" In the majority Of
instances the musical patterns Of the
latter are more elaborate than those of
the former.
The present tendency to drag, espe-
cially in the accompaniment, is only a
passing phase. Even when the instru-
ments drool along, while the singer sings,
the boys are fairly pining to get back to
the rhythm.
You can hear them pine.
Suddenly there is a big bong" some
one at the drums could stand the strain
no longer.
Then away leaps the entire orchestra,
musically giving an imitation of hare
and hounds, although the sleek-haired
composer did not so designate it.

For breakfast music, one could ask
nothing better.
Music with meals is an old song, but
too often it has been at the wrong meals.
Good lively music for breakfast is just
what most people need, especially those
who have to go down town in the cold
to work.
1t puts spring into the feet, and a
determination in the mind.
1t furnishes another example of
wholly good results without intentions.
One may feel quite sure that the group
of young men. who at some time or
other made the record, had no inten-
ton, either individually or as group,
of helping anybody
They simply were doing their stuff,
earning their living, trying to entertain,
if you had asked them about it.
That they were going to help some
man or woman over the ice, would have
been the farthest from their thoughts.
Those persons young enough in heart.
and sensible enough. to turn on their
radios, and get the tingle of this music
into their blood, will be able to stand
zero weather the better for it.
A tingle is an itch, and radio set is
a sort of itch, after ALL
You itch to turn the thing on then
YOU hear a few bars of music, then the
announcer reminds you that the bread
he is talking about is really fine bread.
You turn it of.
Your hand itches to turn that knob
again You turn it. A few bars OF music,
then the blithe announcer asserts that
the best gas is
You turn it off. In few seconds you
turn the knob again-there is little
music, the announcer says, IF you want
to know where the best"
You turn it off, you turn it on, and
so on, and so on. That's radio.

who are to withdraw. As each name Is
read there is q storm Of misses and
groans. Cannon steps down from the
platform and with Teller and others
starts out of the hall. The convention
rises to its feet and cheers as they pass
down the aisle. The audience now strikes
up the chorus of The Red, White and
Blue and the immense hall echoes with
enthusiasm. The insurgent silver men
have disappeared from the hall. They
have been given a rousing send-off. It
is five minutes before the uproar sub
sides. There seems to be enough dele
gates left to do business cries Chair
man Thurston. The following delegates
walked out: The entire delegation from
Colorado; Utah, three; Pettigrew from
South Dakota; Hartman, Montana;
Cleveland and Strother from Nevada"
This dramatic scene was unique IN
American political history. Whether 1t
will ever be repeated in any national
party convention remains to be seen.
In 1912 the Bull Moose" bolt from
the Republican party which led to the
nomination of a third ticket and the
ultimate defeat of President Taft did
not involve an actual departure from the
convention during the session. The Sc
cession actually occurred outside of the
meeting place, the anti-Taft delegates
whose credentials had been accepted
remaining in the convention hall, but
abstaining from voting. There was no
literal walkout on that occasion as
in 1896.

Return Of the prodigal radio listener.
after q years absence, reinforced MIN IN
two old likings:
Dance music and Amos n Andy.
Silly, happy dance music.
A special chapter ought to be written
in its praise, and will be, some day, for 1t
deserves it.
What if much Of it is by electrical
transcription?
These are good, and usually by fine
dance bands, and are much better, all
around, than music straight from the in
struments of lesser musicians.
The prodigal listener is glad that this
type of happy rhythm has increased, not
decreased, on the air.
Surely it fills need.
The often silly words, the preoccupa-
ton with the theme of love. the mourn
full crooners with q catch in the
throat
These are to be forgotten and for
given for the sake of the elan vital, as
the famous philosopher called 1t. the
very Joy of life which pulsates through
these elemental sounds.
Leaving aside the cheapest OF these
numbers, the remainder are much better
than many folks give them credit for
being.
We feel sure that If the old masters,
those who composed symphonies and the
like. were to return to the earthly scene,
and turn on a modern radio set, they
would be struck most of all by these
often barbaric rhythms. these queer, but
interesting orchestrations.
We believe that the common sense OF
the common people is essentially good
when it insists on these bright things in
its musical fare in increasing helpings
day by day.
There is a pulse to them, get-up- -and
20 in them, which is good for people.
It is nearer the heartbeat of the uni
verse than symphony, or grand opera,
or even a dainty little bit fresh from the
mind and heart of really great COM
poser.
One of the queerest things about this
popular dance music Is that really
great composer cannot achieve it,
Some of them have tried, with rather
pathetic results. Usually their numbers,
when they attempt the popular. nave
been a curious mixture of musical con-

were attempting to talk down to their

The young men who, In the MAN,
compose these things, are simply them
selves.
Although they work with certain
standardized forms, from which they
seldom dare stray-when they do, they
often achieve smash hits'-there is
enough latitude for such genius as may
be in them.
Surely it is simple, elemental genius.
but it will not do for any one who pre-
fers a higher class music to sneer at the
results.
The song pattern is simple, but the
movement of the music, its elaboration,
and especially the capers cut by ac-
companying instruments. are strictly in
the spirit of the age.
These change, even in so little time as
a year.

Too Late Now.

Among insignificant statements OF
1886, one which lays just claim to first
place so far comes in the form OF the
White House announcement yesterday
afternoon that: 1.-The national COM
manders of the three major ex-service
organizations called upon the President
today to assure him that they would do
everything within their power to per-
suade the veterans to retain the bonds
issued to them in lieu OF their adjusted
eervice certificates unless they expected
to use the cash for some permanently
useful purpose"
One may wonder how much comfort
the President derived from such assur-
ance or how busy the veterans leaders
will be in doing "everything within their
power" to persuade the veterans to lock
up their baby bonds in strong box
until 1945.
For the time to urge veterans to prac-
ttce thrift was before, not after, hnal
enactment of the baby bond" bonus.
The time to urge them not to place
the strain of bonus payment on Gov
ernment already creaking under financial
strains was after the introduction OF the
bonus measure, not after its passage.
Advice to veterans to be thrifty and
help their Uncle Sam by delaying the
cashing of their bonds contradicts every
thing they have been told for the past
ten years about the great benefits that
would accrue to Uncle Sam by the quick
turnover and rapid spending of several
billion dollars. Advice to hold the bonds
Is contrary to the doctrine that the Gov
ernment can we'll afford to pay the
money. The recklessness displayed in
bonus bill passage, over the considered
warnings of every President and Secre-
tary of the Treasury who has ever had
to deal with the bonus issue, is open in
utation to recklessness in personal ex-
penditures-more appealing to the vet
erans than the advice now promised by
newly conservative leaders ito retain the
bends" unless the cash is to be used for
some permanently useful purpose"
Veterans on relief, of whom there are
many thousands will doubtless find use
for the money Immediately if the re-
lief authorities drop from the rolls those
who receive substantial cash donations
from the Veterans Bureau. Many vet
Grams will find good use for the money in
paying bills. One thing that may be
taken for granted is that no veteran
who spends the bonus will admit that
his expenditure was not "for some per-
manently useful purpose" What con-
stitutes permanently useful purpose"
depends upon point Of view, warped in
this case by more than three billion dol
lars burning holes in more than 3,735,00O
pockets.

Cor We Can Take a Walk. -

"There is only one of two things we
can do," said Alfred E. Smith in his
speech at the Liberty League dinner
Saturday night, in his discussion of the
New Deal performances as contrasted
with the pledges of the Democratic plat
form. 1--WE can either take on the mantle
Of hypocrisy or we can take walk, and
we will probably do the latter"
This expression is now the subject
of much speculation. Does it mean
literal "walkout" from the Democratic
National Convention at Philadelphia on
the part of those who do not indorse the
policies and practices of the admins
tration7 There is at least one precedent
for such an action, and the recollection
Of it is still vivid. It occurred nearly
forty years ago, when group of Repub-
lean silver men" actually walked out
Of the Republican convention at st. Louis
when q sound money" plank was
adopted.
The scene on that occasion is described
in The Stars correspondence, printed in
the issue of June 18, 1896. Senator
Frank Cannon of Utah was on the plat
form pleading for the adoption of silver
plank. The Stars report reads:
"some Of the audience grew weary be-
fore ne was through and there were cries
of time which were met with counter
cries Of encouragement for Mr.. Cannon
to proceed. The chairman insists upon
order and Cannon continues until he
reaches the final denunciation, when he
is interrupted by storm Of Kisses. There
are cries Of put him out and it is some
time before order is restored.
"The most sensational scene Of the
convention then occurred. The chair
man interrupted Cannon to say that
the Republican party in convention need
not fear any declaration With this the
house jumps to its feet as one man and
shouts and cheers for full i've minutes.
Cannon stands his ground undaunted
by the overwhelming disapproval Of his
declaration, and when he Is given oppor-
tunity to speak reads the names OF those

On his desk lay letter unopened
From the son who had roved away
To become an artist in Paris
On the well-ordered desk it lay.
In the law Office he gazed around.
Three generations the old desk chair
Had gone straight down from father to
son,
But he would be last to write briefs
there!
For his boy, his eager, ardent son,
Had turned his heel on the dusty tones:
With palette and brush and dreams OF
art
Had sought the shadow of other domes.
He unfolded the letter. No writing
Appeared on the page. In its place
His son had painted the old desk chair
And above it home-sick face.
The lad who'd left his chair to roam
After awhile would be coming home.

Why is it that when you win

seems that Willie Percival and

were in the winning column while
their ancient rivals, Mr.. Hurricane
Eddie Strunk and Mr.. Cupid Mel
vim Russell were on the losing end
of the score. Mr.. Strunk was
having.a very hard time keeping
up with his outfit when they were
all walking down the fairway and
not only that but Munpsy insist
ed upon whistling to himself. And
when he came in the clubhouse
and everybody wanted to console
him, all he would do is look sad.
But on the other hand, Mr.. j. j.
Kirschenbaum, eX-summer pro,
was the picture of joviality. All
this was because Mr.. Strunk and
Mr.. Russell lost by some nine
points. while Mr.. Kicch had three
skins, Mr.. Russell also three, Doc
Willie five and Eddie a measly
one.
