The Guidite World
of Music
Johann Strauss, Jr.
By Miss Ethel Jones

Although there are many beau
tifui compositions written daily,
none seem to survive as long as
those written by the famous old
composers. To become acquainted
with these old masters thrsugh
books and study increases n in
terest in their music two-fold.
Such a fact is true of Johann
Strauss, jr., and his lovely waltzes.
Johann was born in Vienna, 0cto-
Der 5, 1925. He was the son of a
successful composer and conduct
or. In fact the father was enc of the
first to produce a waltz style COM
position which leaped into popular
favor.
Johann learned to play the violin
despite his fathers objections to
having him become a professional
musician, and become a noted
conductor and a composer of great
ter renown than his father. Follow
ing his fatel's death, he united his
own and his fathers orchestra and
after an extensive European tour
and other engagements, including
ten years of summer concert con
Quoting at a park IN Petrograd, he
became the conductor of court balls
in Vienna, the same position in
which his father had functioned.
THE Waltz King as he was
called visited the United States in
1872 and his concerts in Boston
and New York were tremendous
successes.
Altoget'Er he wrote around five
hundred compositions. His "Beau-
tiful Blue Danube,v "Roses from
the South" "Wine Woman and
Song.p
"A Thousand and One Nights"
Artists Life and others seem
destined to hold permanent favor.
OF his operettas, die File der
maus' continues to be heard.
johann straus died in Vienna,
juno 3, 1889. Although he died al
most fifty years ago, his compos-
tions are heard every day on the
stage radio or IN schools and
dance orchestras.

Restored Grasslands

Farmers and agricultural agencies in the 100 countries of Colorado, Kansas, Oklahoma, New Mexico and Texas where wind erosion has been most severe, are now starting work on the conservation program to save the dust bowl from turn ing into dessert waste. The first aim is to shift many acres of land unwisely turned to wheat cultivation back to other crops and to livestock grazing. Some of the laLid now in crops is to be restored to the areas best suited to them.
 It isn't as simple project as it sounds. One of the principal reasons why farmers have been unable to make desirable shifts in production has been their lack of enough land Their few acres of soil are among those which should not have been plowed, but turning them back to grass land means moving the family to tillable areas elsewhere. For the good of the whole country, this must eventually be accomplished, but it is obviously job that calls for long range planning and the cooperation of many individuals and groups with each other and with the gov- ernment

Slick Tax-Dodging

An ordinary small business man or professional man often hands in his in- come tax report with vague sense of guilt, because, while he has tried to be honest on the whole, and believes that he has obeyed the spirit of the law, he knows there are some items that an investigator might question. He may lack documen- 7 tary evidence to prove his right to certain 1. small deductions He may have had to do little rough estimating, arriving at sub- stantially correct figures which he can not prove Whatever petty benefits he may have gained in this way, he thinks are balanced by unrecorded expenses he might fairly have charged. Yet he fears to see federal investigator walk into his office, demand all his records, use up day or two of his time, and then sternly inform him that he owes the government $174,12 for the previous year instead of his reported $171.46

To kill or not to kill! That seems to be a perplexing question over at the Hospice of the Great St. Bernard, Switzerland. Readers will recall the tragic incident which occurred in May when pack of the famous St. Bernard dogs used in res cue work in the Alps attacked little French girl and killed her before help could arrive. The particular dog which did the killing could not be determined. so civil authorities were all for destroying the entire pack. However, the command ant of the Swiss gendarmes has refused to do this in view of the immense amount of good that the dogs have done down through the ages. The father of the dead youngster asked the monks at the hospice not only to kill the pack but also to cease breeding the dogs. All of which is dis couraging to dog-lovers the world over. A dog that kills should be killed; dogs of the same breed should not suffer for a companions misdeed nor should the breed be discontinued.
