Famous Sayings

Observation-Disclosures Pres
ident Roosevelt suggested that this
session of Congress need not bother
about anything besides neutrality
legislation, there is a good chance
that it will turn serious attention
to the proposition that war and
profits ought to be divorced
Pending on the calendar as carry
overs from the last session are two
bills designed to achieve that end
the famous taxation bill, in
troduced by Senator Bone of Wash
ington and sponsored by 40 other
senators, and a war finance bill
brought in by Senator Lee of Ok
lahoma.
Senator Lee says flatly that he
proposes to bring these two bills
to the Senate's attention before
the neutrality bill is passed. with
the idea that the neutrality issue
can be handled most intelligently
if Congress first makes it clear to
all parties that war would not mean
profit to any American.
We're not in fair position to
deal with this question Neutrality
until we remove the motive of self
interest" says Senator Lee. with
these two bills enacted, that would
be notice to the United States
that we'd have no opportunity to
profiteer in time of war. Then, I
think, we could approach the ques-
ton of neutrality without the profit
motive entering our consideration" d"

job insurance program, Mr.. Craig
head sad.
The benefits are of great help tc
the unemployed during the time they
are searching for work and also heir
business by keeping money circulat-
ing in the community.
Workers are eager to know how
to estimate their weekly benefit
amounts if they become unemployed
MIR. Craighesd explained that the,
may do this by taking the amount
of wages earned in the highest wage
quarter of the first four of the las.
five calendar quarters prior to filing
a valid claim and determining four
percent of this amount. If this
amounts to over an even dollar the
weekly benefit amount Is raised tc
the next highest dollar, hut not
under SIS, the minimum benefit
amount, or over SIS, the maximum
benefit amount.
Eligibility Is Explained
Eligibility is determined by multi
plying the weekly benefit amount
by 30. An unemployed worker must
have made at least this amount be-
tween April l., 1888 and March 81,
1889 to be eligible for benefits.
A man making $40 a week would
have earned $3.50 in his highest wage
quarter. Four percent of this would
be S10.4O, raised to the next highest
dollar would be Sill, the weekly ben
eft amount. Thirty times Sill equals
$3.50. If the worker earned this
amount in his four quarter base
period he would be eligible to re-
ceive an Sill check each week for 16
weeks.

Three-Fourth of Orchestra Directors
Work Is Done at the Regular Rehearsals

The conductor as an outstanding
figure is comparatively modern in
novation. In the palmy days of clas-
steal music, and in the opera house
until well-nigh the middle of last
century, his duties were undertaken
by the first violin. I suppose that
the art of conducting, as we know
it, may be said to have started with
Mendelssohn; but it's development,
like almost everything else connect
ed with music, has been exceedingly
rapid, writes Francis Toye in the
Illustrated London News.
The public, despite their enthusi-
asm, really know very little about
conducting. They generally fail to
realize, to begin with, that at least
three-quarters of conductors work
is done at rehearsal. What he does
in actual performance matters, of
course; but, provided that the foun-
dations of his Interpretation have
been well and truly laid at rehears-
al, it matters comparatively little.
For this reason, the actual style of
a conductor is of small Importance.
1t may be restrained, it may be
exuberant; the result can be judged
only by the listener who is ready to
shut his eyes and forget about the

conductor and the orchestra alto
gether.
Needless to say, there is tech
nique Of conducting as there is a
technique of everything elsa
clear beat, for instance; independ-
ent and intelligent use of the left
hand. Some of the most successful
conductors get, so to say, beyond
this technique; some, for fear of
rightly, even make definite point
of avoiding the strict time beat.
Such methods postulate, of course,
not only first class orchestra, but
an orchestra familiar with the con-
ductor's methods; tried on strange
body of players, however talented,
they may lead to great confusion.
So it cannot be said that there is
any general rule universally binding
as to the methods that conductors
should or should not employ. The
ultimate test, as always with the
arts, is the result.
