World

Music often gives one lift, and
put a song on the lip, and it, GER
tainly meant to do just that. We
note music easy for some but diff
ficult for others, but it can be
mastered by all interested and
ambitious to succeed.
There are artists in every age.
Because a girl can sing a little, or
play some instrument a little, she
shouldn't think she can become a
wonderful artist. She shouldn't
devote her life to music unless
there is good indication that she is
one of the few artists.
InI this transitional time when
woman's work has been mostly
taken out of the home and wo-
man has not entirely found her
place in the outside world, girls
have been too often led to believe
that after a few lessons on the
piano or violin they are musicians.
For a person to make such a
mistake is no less a tragedy to
herself than to the world in which
she should do some useful work.
Society is so poorly organized
that there is much suffering
among those gifted ones to whom
the world refuses a chance to
serve society. In the realm of art
we are more critical than in indus
try. We resent what may be called
a misplaced musician nor than
we do a 'misfit" saleswoman, be-
cause the former is probably doing
greater harm to society than the
latter.
Personality counts greatly for
the success in music, as in every
kind of work which calls for per-
sonal contact with people. In de-
Gliding whether to be a musician
and branch of music to study, a
girl must consider whether she
has the sort of personality that
will be effective in public or pri-
vate work, as a teacher or an en-
tertainer.
l also believe unless her courage
is impregnable and her talent as
sured no girl should study music.

Patient Fatally Injured
In Plume at GaIIinqer

A 50-year- patient at Gal
linger Hospital was fatally injured
last night when he plunged from a
fifth-foor window of the Medical

other patient to hold him by one
hand until more help could arrive.

the hospital last week for liver all
ment and pneumonia, left his bed in
the ward about 10 pm. and climbed

he heard the window open. He left
his bed and ran to the window as
the man twisted his body and let
himself outside, grasping the sill
with both hands.

but lacked the strength to hold on
until a third patient, James Brown,

from which he was removed few
moments later. He died about four

from five Western European
powers today approved seven ar

posed pact for a union against
Communist expansion.
Approval of two of the articles,
however, was subject to sanction
of the French and British govern
ments, informants said.
Conference officials refused to say
which articles were being referred
back. One of them was reported
to bind all signatory powers to refer
differences to the International
Court.
A second meeting was scheduled
later today.
Speedy Agreement Seen.
Officials from Britain, France,
Belgium, the Netherlands and Lux
embourg forecast a speedy agree
ment on economic issues. They ex-
pressed hope the economic phases
of the pact would be ready to sign
by the end of the week.
French Delegate Roland De Mar

that the five power western union"
would seek to have its defensive
stature backed by the military might
of the United States.
Hugh Mallard, American charge

Instructions on economic clauses
in the treaty, which the conferees
passed over in their earlier meetings,
arrived here from London and Paris

May Close Tomorrow.
This is expected to permit the
conference delegates to make greater

This would permit the five Foreign
Ministers to sign the pact before

Mr.. De Margerie said one of bhe
