Explains Difficulties of Musicians
Whose Employment Is Restricted.

To the Editor Of The Star:
am a musician. Like thousands of
others, studied many years to become
proficient In my profession. Existing
conditions, for example juke boxes, have
lessened the opportunities for work in
the music field. Therefore, I had to seek
employment in another field, but there
are many musicians who could not read
lily turn to other fields of employment
and have had to turn to WPA for relief.
Men in other professions are in great
demand, while demand for musicians has
declined, due to sound pictures and the
dearth of vaudeville. The present issue
played on the air has made the plight Of
the musician sad indeed. These men
have families looking to them for sup
port and education which they cannot
supply. The morale of hundreds of mu-
sicians is at very low ebb. What do
they want? Just chance for work.
If a radio station operates from 18 to
"a hours day. we would like to have
Give" music broadcast at least a part
of the day, even though it be only trio
Many stations could we'll afford small
representation of musicians. and we
would have an ideal situation Of "live
and let live"
Certain local hotels employed musi-
clans to play at lunch and dinner time
They secure music now by wire from
another city. The men who played at
these hotels are now out of work. Con-
ditions such as these are Nation wide
records and transcriptions filling the
air waves and musicians tramping the
streets looking for work This is not
conducive to the study Of music by the
future generations.
May call your attention to the fact
that hundreds Of musicians now are
giving their time and talents to the war
effort? We play for servicemen. hos
pitals and drives for War stamps and
bonds free Of charge. We ask no return
OF praise, but merely an opportunity to
succeed in the field OF our choice, IN
which we have studied for many years.
I hope the fiddle man as shown In
your cartoon Of August l continues to
play and that 1t may lead to thousands
of musicians finding more employment
so that they will be able to support their
families and give their children the edu-
cation which u their birthright and
heritage. JACK LEvENSON.

Discusses Relation
OF Production and Imitation.
To the Editor Of The Star:

Az Inc Eultor OIL Inc SaAH.
The general confusion as to the nature
Of monetary imitation is exemplifed in
the following quotation from magazine
article on the subject: THE contribu-
tion which individuals can make to the
fight against imitation is primarily
through refraining from spending, from
buying things for whatever purpose" !"
If no one bought anything and the
production of things came to a stop,
how could the people exist or the war
be financed? The fewer things pro-
duced and bought, the more difficult 1t
would become to finance the war unless
the Government should have recourse to
manufacturing money on the printing
press-in other words, to true imitation.
Others urge tax on purchasing power
"to reduce the amount of money avail
able for the purchase of the present
dwindling supply of goods" That is, the
scarcer goods are and the more dificult
to get because of scarcity and rising
costs, the greater the necessity to pre-
vent people from getting them for the
necessary uses for which they are pro-
duced. Why then produce them at all?
Imitation consists in a large and un-
warranted increase in national currency,
diminishing the value OF the monetary
unit, causing higher prices. However,
the price rise due to a decrease in goods
production is not imitation, but a natu-
raj phenomenon automatically corrected
by restoration of normal production.
This distinction seems to be ignored by
nearly all who treat of the subject.

Urges Pedestrians To Wait
For Safe Time To Cross Streets.
To the Editor Of The Star:
quite agree with A. E. Lewis regard
ing the street crossing question. The
problem of crossing streets really is very
simple. as there always is 4 safe time
to cross streets. whether In the middle
OF the block or elsewhere, If the pedes-
trian will wait till the safe time presents
itself.
1t strikes me 1t would be foolish to
walk to the end Of a long block to cross
when there is not a car within two
hundred yards from the spot where one
wishes to cross.
believe that the great majority Of
accidents are caused by pure careless
ness on the part Of the pedestrian.

Early American, this young
country of ours was largely a
wilderness. Only the eastern
seaboard was settled, and that
by immigrants who had formed
themselves into loosely united
colonies.
Their life was a rugged one.
Their furniture matched their
life. There was no time for
such details as fine design, nor
was there money for such luXu-
rles as fine furniture.
The idea was TO get some
thing 10 sit on. and the simpler
the chair which served that pur-
pose, the less care it took to
make IT.
Practical
The idea was 10 get the most
practical table to eat from, and
if its top was not warped and
its legs were steady. it was

Applications are being ae-

in which the Soil Conservation
Service said that the Water Facili-
ties Board in Washington D. c., has
authorized the extension of assist
ance in the development of farm

As a result of the general desig-
nation Farm Security will be able
!, to make loans to any farm operator
who cannot get adequate credit
elsewhere for the development of
farmstead water, according to the
plan outlined by Howard L. Harper,
County Supervisor.
Development is restricted to ia
cilities which provide water for
home use, for livestock at head
quarters and for irrigation of a
farm garden of not more than one
acre Other types of water develop
ments which may be made under

covering an -entire watershed, are
not eligible under this designation.

Kills Largest Wolf
Ever Known
In Montana

BUTTE.-''Big Wolf" the largest
known wolf to be captured in Mon
tana, killed last spring by a hunter
on the WPA Predatory Animal Con-
troll project, is now displayed in the
Museum of Natural History. Wash
ington, D. C.. The animal was shot
near Three Forks and measured 80
inches high at the shoulders and
six feet. two inches from tip to tip
and, although half starved. weighed
log pounds. The head was Ia inches
long and six inches wide.
For several years there had been
noNreports on wolves seen or kills
thought to have been made by
wolves. 1t was generally believed
that the state had no wolves until
one day last April when a WPA
hunter started to hunt dens about
10 miles from Three Forks
There a den was found containing
four rather dark pups which were
large for not having their eyes yet
open, They resembled puppies of a
German Police dog, which at first
they were thought to be since there
was a sheep camp a short distance
away The hunter thinking there
might be more pups cashed in an
old badger hole, walked around the
hillside and suddenly came upon a
large track Walking a few feet
farther he discovered a den cash
consisting of quarter of a beef
Searching further the hunter saw
wolf lying down about half
mile away. The wolf Immediately
started off with the hunter giving
chase by car until the wolf dipped
into draw. Jumping out of his car,
the hunter raised his rifle and
brought down big Wolf
Upon examination it was found
that the large wolf had only one
toe remaining on the left front foot
apparently having had previous
tangfe with trap. A piece of stove
pipe wire about four inches long inn
bedded in the flesh and a tightly
drawn ring in the other foot indi-
Gated the wolf had encountered a
coyote snare also. The hunter esti-
mated the wolf had travelled APP
proximately 35 miles an hour while
chased, in spite Of handicaps.
Previous to the initiation of the
WPA Predatory Control project,
undesirable animals were eliminat-
ed by a bounty system. At that time
the loss to stock and wool growers
was approximately $4,000 a year,
reduced SO per cent by the WPA
project. At the present time the
project employs about SO hunters,
