lust Between
Ourselves.
-By PhiIip n. Love

1t is good sign, I think, that
some Of the most famous jazz bands
are finding 1t necessary TO tone
down their music. It's q sign that
loud, nerve-racking swing Is on the
way out and that soft, soothing
sweet music is returning to popular
favor. And that, in turn, may be
sign that the world-or, at any
rate, the American part of it--has
nearly recovered from the hysteria
of the last several years.
Indications Of the swing away
from swing, according to Time mag
agine, are:
Harry James, whose shrin trumpet
made his orchestra a favorite of
teen-agers, has had to cut his price
from $4,000 a night to $4,000.
Bob Crosby, brother of Bing, has
quieted his jazz band by going easier
on the drums and the brass.
Charlie Barnet is toning down
his 21-piece swing band because.
he says. loud music hasn't been
paying we'll lately.
And in the College Inn, Chicago,
one OF the cradles of swing" teen
ayers have been dancing recently
to Claude Thornhill's "sedate,
glossy arrangement of Warsaw
Concerto the 'Nutcracker Suite
and Yours Is My Heart Alone"
Jazz music and jitterbug dancing
attained their greatest popularity
during the war years. probably
because they matched the general
mood of the country. The blaring
trumpets and booming drums
drowned out ones thoughts. which
weren't very happy, anyway; and
the kind of dancing demanded by
such music provided an outlet for
the jitteriness which nearly every
one felt Swing and sway, whether
they had any esthetic value or not,
probably were pretty good health
measures.
But now, apparently, the mood Of
the Nation has changed. People
sense the need for serious thinking,
and the kind of nAsic that matches
their feeling is soft, sweet and mel
low, the kind that Guy Lombardo
and Wayne King play. And, OF
course, their dancing has to be in
time with the music-which Is to
say, a quiet stroll rather than a wild
stomp.
! Charlie Barnet summed It all up
pretty well. I think. with the OBJ
servation: Tension music was okay
during the war. Now we're done
with it,
Well, that suits me Just fine. Now
can be done with trying to learn
to cat.

A postage stamp showing a por-
trait Of Franklin D. Roosevelt soon
will be introduced into the regular
series. It probably will be Scent

purple.
George A. Scott, writing for the
Associated Press, says: Some six
years late, Guatemala has issued
three stamps which mark the Tooth
anniversary, in 1910, of the postage
stamp. The delay apparently was
due to World War II and the fact
that the stamps were printed by a
firm in Holland. Presumably the
German invasion of the Neither
lands prevented delivery Of the
stamps until this year. Only one
change has been made in the orig
inal designs-the 5-centayo de-
nomination intended for ordinary
postage has been overprinted 'Aereo'
to make it valid for airmail use. All
these stamps have the inscription

other suggestions above.
If you are to put them to bed, be
sure to do something quiet just
before bedtime, such as reading to
them or looking at pictures, so that
they will not be excited and hard to
calm down. When you are through
doing one thing, have the children
put away all that they had for that
activity, such as crayons or paper
and pencils. Do not insist they do it
alone, if they are not in the habit
OF cleaning up for themselves.
Rather than make a scene, do it
yourself. trying, however, to get
their help by making it a race. Al
ways use a soft, low voice. Never
shout at children, for that only
makes them harder to handle. Keep
them happy, and you will make your
job easier and your services more
desirable.
