It is high time that school songs came down to. earth and stopped being either maudlin or too sem timental.
 see that Irving Caesar is giving the subject his attention and as he says, going to hard. the youngsters a break, away from such songs as Good Morning Dear Teacher"
 do not mean to xnpiy that all school singing is silly. Far from 1t, for never was SO thrilled as when, one day, I dropped into a music class that sang softly and well some songs that could not be beaten for sheer beauty of melody. One I re- member, was "Moonbeams Shining on a Wall", and to this day give way to emotion when l think of 1t.
 Tunes Repeat Thtres Themes
 But this romantic music can only go so far in school rooms. There is a tendency to three themes in most of today's music for students patriotic or holiday songs, the TO- mantle theme of nature and perhaps fairies, and the obviously n1audlin old standbyS that we grew up on. So it is a relief to know that com- poser of note thinks the. children a worthwhile field for attention.
 What do children like to sing about2 Things they know. They even like to shout from the house tops little lessons of warning they hear at home. So when we hear that some Af fhA k1NnVNaAe kA hA A.n Automobile has Two Big Eyes. Stay Away from the Railroad Tracks" and Playing on the Roof" we feel that musuc has departed from the dreamy to the real and that children are going to enjoy 1t hugely. One old song that used to Sadden many a, school room was Twenty Little ChickadeeS Sitting in the Snow. It went on to say that they were hungry and cold, which at that, was not bad propaganda for the care of birds in winter. But to even up the heartbreak, now we are to have "1ce Skating Is Nice Skating, which Is hearty and fine.
 Just Like Grandparents
 Things to do, things not to do This interests the children much more than Happy Birthday to You". Don't mistake me, please, am not too much sold on realism to recommend an entire diet of the practical in music, but I do think that school music has been neglect ing field. Our grandmothers liked to sing Welcome the Troubadour" in singing school, but I rather think the voices rang out more robustly over Gan She Bake a Cherry Pie, Billy Boy, than "The Moon is Out Tonight, Love, Kitty of the Glen"
 Let the children sing their lovely little lullabies, and below their marching songs. Let them whisper their soft nurnlurs of fountains and fairies and raindrops. But also give them some red meat that recounts their daily doings, just as the grena- diers loved to sing of their hard ships and wars, as the sailor loves to sing yo-ho-ho's. and the cowboys their plaintive calls of the plains
 People the world over are hungry to sing about things they know and experience. So 1t is with the children, about childhood, about the matters of everyday life and the thrills they get. It is good. am glad we are facing a chance. ','

 LONGEVITY

Old Tom Parr, believe 1t or not, I don't, "died after he had outlived nine princes, in the tenth year of the tenth of them, at the age of one hundred. and fifty-two years and nine months" Anyway he made the piker centenarians of our day look like child prodigies. ..
 In Paris time, three hundred years ago, evidently conspicuous in- dividuals, instead of thumbing 1t out to Hollywood, travelled up to Lon don in quest of big time engage ments. Had Tom remained in the salubrious environment of Shrop- shire he might have attained ripe old age. But in London the popu- larity racket played havoc with his vite. Change of food and habits, change of air and dissipation killed him. "Fie fed high and drank plen- tifully of the best wines." Tn those

MONTHS ACTIVITY
IS DISAPPOINTING
National City Bank Sees
Nothing Alarming in Re-

NEW YORK, October 4-September
proved a disappointment to those who
looked for prompt acceleration of
business activity after the vacation
period. the National City Bank Of New
York reported today in its monthly
survey of economic conditions.
Instead Of this expected pickup, the
survey said, early reports from the
industries have shown considerable
irregularity."
THE manufacturing industries" 1t
continued. operated at a very high
rate during the Summer to catch up
with orders on hand and in some
cases to make up time lost in strikes,
but they were selling less than they
we're producing and making steady in
roads on their untitled orders.
Now they are in need of new busi-
ness. However, market conditions
thus far have tended to hold buying
within conservative limits. For the
first time in three years the Fall pick
up has been sluggish, and in some
quarters a moderate shortening of
running time is being put into effect"
The recent stock market decline.
the survey declared, inspired caution.
for new enterprise is not likely to 20
ahead confidently while the markets
are inviting attention to the uncer-
tainties and weak spots rather than
to the favorable aspects Of the situa-
ton"
On the assumption that business has
reached a period of fattening out of
the recovery upswing, the survey de-
clared:
There is nothing sensational or
alarming about check of this char
acter, although it may readily extend
into moderate recession while inven-
tories are worked off, building costs
brought into line with rental values
or the reverse, and other desirable
adjustments In the economic situation

PAINT INDUSTRY
SHOWS BIG GAINS
Profits in First Half oi
1887 Reported Near Pre-.
Depression Levels.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, October 4.-Over the
past four years manufacturers Of
paint and varnish have enjoyed strik-
ing gains, it is pointed out in a new
study appearing in Poor's Industry
and Investment Surveys.
Profits in the first half of 1887
approached pre-depression levels. Al
though still running ahead of 1886,
demand for paint has shown some
tendency to ease as the anticipated
boom in home building has flattened
out.
In the first six months of 1887,
sales totaled 100000, a gain of
10 per cent over the figure for the
corresponding 1886 period" continues
the survey. This approached the
peak first-half level of s232. 1000, 900
recorded in 1929. Although costs
have risen materially in the recent
past, and although retail prices have
advanced only moderately the aver
age company continues to report good
earnings gains.
In recent months, paint sales have
displayed some hesitation, and there
is distinct likelihood of further recess
sion over the coming months. Never
theless, from long-range viewpoint
the industry is favored by several
factors: ID conservative capital struc-
ture, (2) adequate treasury condition
80 a relatively firm price structure
which restraints inventory losses or
paint and allied products, (4 intelli-
gent research work which is increasing
the field for paint products and is
reducing costs, t5) expanding markets
coming from aggressive mercha ndisine
policies, (6) prospects for maintenance
of large automobile production, CO
gradual release of further railroad
maintenance expenditures, and (8)
the housing shortage, which, despite
the current check to construction ad-
ministered by rocketing costs. still
promises building boom of substan.

President on Child Labor
and Starvation Wages

ELIMINATION of child labor,
II long working hours and starva-
ton wages is necessity, and must
be carried out by the federal gov
eminent since it cannot be done by
state action. So declared President
Roosevelt in his press conference.
He warned the correspondents not
to say he was planning to revive
the MIRA and insisted all he could
say at present was that something
should be done to fix maximum
hours and minimum wages.
Since the day of the NRA, said
Mr.. Roosevelt, there has been a
steady decline in child labor, Cruel
ing hours and starvation wages by
80 per cent of American business.
AS for the other 10 per cent, he
said, they were still failing to live
up to the best standards since the
death of the NRA.
Attorneys for the American Fed
GRAFTON of Labor were reported to
be about ready to submit to the
President a bill designed to restore
labor protective features lost in the
death of MIRA. 1t provides that
congress catalogue unfair "con-
duct" which would be forbidden to
employers and assure workers ade-
quate protection. Violations would
be punishable by a fine. The fed
Grafton is expected also to back
federal licensing of interstate cor
porations as provided by the O'Ma-
honey bill.
