Music

I believe that music is very in
teresting subject to talk upon. Not
merely classical music but popular,
semi-popular, and semi-classic. Let
me classify these different divisions
and give YOU better idea Of what
each class contains.
First, / would like to impress
upon your mind the beauty and
soul stirring qualities of classical
music. For example, let us look at
Beethovens moonlight Sonata"
AS the title suggests, he was IN
spired by the superb beauty OF
moonlit night. With these as pat
tern he created this lovely sonata.
Selim Palmgren was inspired by
an evening in May. The hush that
follows busy day and a gentle
breeze that rustles the leaves on
the trees, all make up his immortal
composition, MAY Night" OF
course, I could talk for some time
on classical music but / also wish
to give you better understanding
of the other types mentioned above.
The next class is one that you
are all familiar with. You cannot
turn on your radio without hearing
it. Of course you know that / am
speaking of popular music. There
is quite a wide range between clas-
sic and popular but it is also an
interesting one. First OF all, our
popular music of today lacks four
important things: beauty, quality,
stability and the story behind the
composition. For instance, let us
take one of our modern songs and
pick it apart. SO to speak. For my
example I'll choose de Lovely and
use the above points in showing
YOU how weak popular music really
is. Does it have beauty The an
swer is mo" Why? Because the
composer has only certain clever
ness, not beauty or quality, to make
it sell. He also has the knack of
writing light and appealing tunes
plus clever wording. We all know
that it will not remain in use long.
In very few years it is just a
past memory of a once popular
tune. You will also see that it
doesn't take in my fourth point of
having a story behind it. Popular
music, as we know will continue
to please the public for years to
come and that is as it should be.

DETROIT, Mich. March 8. - A strike in the motor assembly divis- ion of the Chevrolet Motor Com pany closed four plants affecting 6,400 men. Eight thousand men continued to work.
 Company officials said the strike is confined to Plant No. 4, where motors are assembled, but Plants Nos. 5, No. and No. g are closed because operations are dependent upon production of No. 4.
 Conferences have been arranged between the union and Chevrolet in the Flint area to discuss griev- ances.
 The strikers object to the em- ployment of non-union workmen who spoke against the union.

With Insurance City Still Will Have $35,O0O Aside
 from PWA Grant

The proposed appropriation of $35, ,00O for the Douglas school build- ing was cut to $25,0O0 by the Ter ritorial Senate today. The bill pre- yiously had passed the House, call- ing for $35,000.
 It was brought out that there was $10,000 insurance on the school which burned when fire swept that city which would actually bring. with the appropriation by the Ter ritory, $35,0O0 for the building and under a PWA project, which is planned, an additional 45 percent would be added as grant from the government.
 The Senate passed the Scott road bill calling for an appropriation of $40O,0O0 for road construction. The general appropriation bill as it left the House also called for that fi- gure for roads and it is possible that the item may be deleted in the Senate.
 The Coffey bill providing the set ting up of Planning Council won the approval of the Senate as did the measure limiting the travel ex- penses of Territorial officials and employees. Aimed to help promote the pulp industry in the Territory, the Senate also passed the Coffey memorial asking Congress to put an embargo on foreign pulpwood and newsprint.

RIVERS LIQUOR
 BILL UNCHANGED BY LOWER HOUSE
Final Action on Measure I. Expected I om o row
 Session Ends Thursday

After inserting but one word for the purpose of clarification, the Ter ritorial House this morning passed to third reading and final passage tomorrow the Rivers liquor bill which would make statutory the present liquor board regulations with certain changes in an effort to eliminate some of the features which are now the cause of com plaint.
 Attempt was made to suspend the rules and put the measure on final vote today. but the majority of the House preferred to let 1t take it's reg ular course and no action has been taken in the Senate on the McCut- cheon high license bill which has already passed the House
 George Laiblin of the Second Di- vision tried to amend the clause which provides that drunken per- son on the premises would be cause for revocation of license, but his effort failed to rally sufficient SUD- port, the majority of the House sup porting the belief that strict regu- lations would tend to aid in en- forcement.
 Fight also was made by Laiblin and James Davis of the First to re- move the local option clause en- tirely but this also failed. AS the bill now reads it provides that any community by two-thirds vote can declare itself dry territory. The pro- vision for road house licenses, which now reads that they must be situ- ated not less than 18 miles from any incorporated city, was under fire and attempt made to cut down the distance. Majority sentiment of the House was that a lesser distance would tend to make road houses re- sorts and at the lower license fee of $75 while dispensary in cities would be required to pay $500 li- cense. Representative Davis tried to exempt drug stores under the retail license heading but this also failed to gain support, the majority holding liquor should be sold in liquor stores.
 The House approved resolution for joint session of the two hous- es tomorrow to pass on appoint ments to the Board of Regents of the University.
 Thursday is the last day of the present session and there are still a good many bills to be acted upon. The special session will start March 19 one week after the closing of the regular session and it will take up only Social Security legislation. It can not be in session longer than IS days. which, if the entire time was taken up, would close the extra ordinary session on April 2.

DR. HORNADAY PASSES AWAY
 EASTERN HOME
Widely Know n Naturalist, Wild Life Protector,
 Dies, Long Illness

STANFORD, Conn. Mar. 8. = pr. William Temple Hornaday, first director of the New York Geological Park, widely known naturalist died Saturday night at his home here following a long illness. He was 82 years old. One daughter and three grandchildren survive.
 Turned Down Farming
 Educated in an agricultural col lege, Dr. Hornaday immediately upon his graduation decided that he did not want to be farmer. Im- bued with a desire to become sci entific taxidermist he pursued that subject and thereafter devoted vir- tually his entire life to the study, collection of specimens and protec- ton of wild animal and bird life. Eventually he came to be recog- nized as one of the foremost natur- alists and zoologists in the world.
 After completing a course of study at Wards Natural Science Es- tablishment at Rochester, N. Y., Dr. Hornaday started in October, 1874, on his first collecting expedi- tion to the Bahama Islands, Cuba and Florida. In the latter state he clearly established the existence there of the Florida crocodile by the capture of two large specimens. Tn January, 1876. in the interest of Professor Wards establishment, he went on six. months tour to the West Indies and South America and returned with a large collection.
 Visits Jungles
 The most extensive collecting tour taken by Dr. Hornaday was commenced in October, 1876. and during three years he visited the jungles of India Ceylon, the Malay Peninsula and Borneo. He returned with what was said to be the rich est, most varied and valuable zo-
