dancing. the orchestra receives a
particular sort of vim that auto
matically becomes Incorporated in
the Interpretation.
1T is a tendency to accept popular
songs for short time only. This
is due to the shallow content of jazz
tunes. Most of them are very SEN
timental Consider the words: Il
could cross the ocean wide, | could
swim that great divide, ! could do
most anything for you. These sug-
gestions are impossible, as you
doubtless realize. Another reason
for the short life Of popular tunes
il the use Of monotonous, non-sen-
sible terms, such as: "hi de hi etc.
sometimes | think that these terms,
particularly, do Il do, come from
the loose use Of speech syllables.
Nowadays we call jazz-vocalists,
crooners. In looking up the history
of the word, grooming, learned
that it once meant the noise that
cattle make when they are in pain.
Now, know the reason why some
people Groom as they do.
From all this we gather that per
Torrance in jazz is controlled great
deal by the mood Of those being en-
teftained. On the other hand, in the
peffoi nance Of serious music, one
tries to express the mood of the
composer exactly. In silence the
listeners try to adjust themselves to
the performance. The objective in
serious and jazz performance is quite
different, and it is equally difficult
for either concert artist to perform
before a disorderly audience or a
tjazz-maestro" to play for quiet,
unenthusiastic listeners.
This question, too, has been asked,
Does jazz ever become classical?'
My answer is decidedly mo" The
word, classical, is rather elastic.
Many people use it in connection
| with music only in contrast to jazz.
Some jazz songs last longer than
others for certain reasons. I'm
doubtedly one Of the reasons why
the song, sLet Me Call You, Sweet
heart" has lasted is that the words
are sensible and not sentimental.
Compare them to "Ey'ry star above,
knows the one love" The St. Louis
Blues has kept its popularity because
of the music, particularly the har--
mony. This is evident by the use Of
new words continually TO the original
music.
One objectionable wrong is the
cheapening of good composition.
Darling Nellie Gray has become
quite sentimental and silly in its
perverted arrangement By jazz en-
j thusiasts. Just the other day I
| heard "Annie Laurie" transformed
from its original beautiful setting to
! one not at all serious in nature.
Therefore, in answering your ques,
tion, say that all types of music are
good il used at the proper time
Jazz is the music for leisure mo-
ments, for dancing, and informal
types of entertainment. Serious mu-
sic offers something substantial for
intelligent approval. I remember
reading once about Mark Twain who
in the latter part Of his life uttered
q profane oath as something went
wrong while he was shaving. His
wife heard him and he was sorne--

Annual Statements
AT this season annual statements
/ from our successful business enter
prise are being made public. We
have not had major failure in Ne
gro business for quite while now,
and that is something to be proud Of,
and to be thankful for.
i But as we read with pride the
fstatements Of the successful com
lspanies, let our vision not be too
short. Taking pride in our seccess,
i let US ask ourselves what Of the fu-
| tnre-What is being done to perpe-
tuate, not so much these individual
institutions(of great Importance
though that is) but the strain of
genius that developed these insti-
/ tutions?
Think how these institutions be-
gan, and how they reached their
present high estate. The founders
took chance. But would these men,
who are successful today, lend a
hand to a newcomer youth who
had nothing but an idea, plenty Of
ambition, and willingness to work? ?
IT is often remarked that a young
white man, If he has character and
ambition, can get money to 60 into
business. Tie sucessful whites re-
: al.ze that from his kind must be de-
valoped their kind, aid t.ey back
him readily, taking their losses with
a smile, but more often riding to
success again with the rising youth
! He suggest that our successful
men set aide a modest sum each
year with which TO back newcomers
win, lose On draw Don't throw up
your hands, shake your head, and
cry inoxr erience' VIII II a youth
approaches you for help. The genius
! or the future Is the inexperienced
youth Of today. Besides, you
. wouldn't miss the money Some OF
j our successful men throw away
enough each year to start five young
$ men in business,
But if you are stickler TO,
rules, figure il this way: A loss in q
good cause is an investment in the
success Of the next generation
G Somebody must pay for the success
]; Of the next generation, and If you
} are successful, it is your duty t.
: help.

Times Gesture

ituG @1EStuFe
We hesitate to give full credit to
Time Magazine for the gesture Of
publishing Walter Whites picture on
the front cover and carrying long
and on the whole favorable story
of the anti-lynching fight. Time has
committed several offenses against
colored people in its rapid rise To-
affluence, and apparently offenses
which were planned deliberately and
executed without compunction. For
this reason we are not offering
flowers with free hand, for Time
may, in its next issue, take back
hand slap at Negroes, to make up
for its more or less favorable ges-
ture, as it were.
However, the fact remains that
for the second time a colored man
has graced Times front cover, al
belt Tine explained away his colored
blood to one sixty-fourth per cent.
But significant to us is the revela--
tion Of the part that irwin II. Me-
Duffie, the Presidents personal aide,
has played in bringing the anti
lynching fight to the attention Of
the Chief Executive. There has
been cooperation all along the line
in this fight, we are glad to say,
which accounts for success seeming
highly probable.

RIOTERS
PUT IN SOLITARY

MARLBORO, Md, Sept. 16.
Two youths, said to be ringlead-
ers in a riot that swept the Chelt-
enham School for Boys, were held
in solitary confinement today.
The riot, which started at noon
yesterday, was quelled after State
and county police, armed with
shotguns and tear gas bombs,
had arrived at the colored re-
formatory.
B. B. Sunderland, superinten-
dent, said the youths started
breaking windows and furniture
and hurting dishes at dinner, and
only after they refused to quiet
down we're police called.
The superintendent said that
little damage was done by the
rioters. Cause of the outbreak has
not been determined, but the two
youths held in solitary are rouble
makers, he said.

iron LUNG AIDS
C. U. STUDENT,
z CHILDREN HERE
Last Respirator in D. C.
Now Is Being Used

Three iron lung" machines
were rythmically pumping today,
giving two children and a young
university student a chance for
life in their battle against the
dread infantile paralysis.
In Children's Hospital a little
boy and little girl were battling
for life. their condition critical,
while in Gallinger Hospital the
university student, in the "lung"
Tor more than a week apparently
was winning his battle for health.
NO OTHERS HERE
But what worried doctors and
health authorities was that the
three cases are using the only
respirators in the city, and If an
other emergency case should come
along, there is no means Of treat
ment.
It would be necessary, doctors
pointed out, to borrow respira-
- tor from Baltimore or even Phila-
delphia, get it here and set it up,
and before that could be done
the patient might die.
Reginald Weisenfeld, 22-year-old
Georgetown University student,
was stricken with paralysis on
his return here from Mexico al
most two weeks ago.
His life hanging in the balance,
he was taken to Gallinger, placed
in the 'lung," and today phySi-
clans said he has good chance
to recover.
WALTER REED AIDS
Stanton Du Bois, 3, of Bethesda,
was taken to Children'S Hospital
three days ago and placed in the
respirator. A few hours later Jac-
queline Grant, 10, of the First
block N st. N. W., was brought to
the hospital.
With the Dubois boy in the
only respirator at the hospital, Of
ficials appealed to Walter Reed
Hospital, and military red tape
was cut and the lung" rushed to

placed in it.
Doctors said it is too early to
determine if the children will re-
cover, but their only chance comes
from being in the respiratorS.
