Chicago, NATIONAL THRIFT WEEK: — Today—Saturday, January 17. 1A23 /—marks the two hundred and nineteenth birthday of one of America's greatest statesmen —one of America s greatest benefactors — one of America's brainiest object lessons— Benjamin Franklin—the First American Apostle of Thrift! He started his career as a printer's “devil” and —by the practice of Thrift and the exercise of sound common sense — rose to be one of Ihc foremost figures of his time. One of Benjamin Franklin's maxims was: “Save young man and become respectable and respected. It is the surest way." Tlie man who is climbing up the ladder of success (be it ever so slowly) has a feeling of self-respect that begets tile respect of others. Back in 1391, a young chap, who lives in your midst (we'll call him A. Wise Spender) had read much of Benjamin Franklin’s “Poor Richard”! and made up his mind to profit by the lessons lie had learned. He earned three dollars a week as an errand boy and, by dint of careful planning, saved one dollar a Whri.—' sometime it was very difficult, too — that nickle for candy that the other hoys spent—that two cents here and three cents there—no, he mustn't — and he didn't, lie was building not only a substantial fund for that rainy day—but also a strong and sturdy character, I . Today A. Wise Spender is proud of having pufd an income tax of over SIOO,OOO. You, too, cun do the same someday! Follow Franklin! People of Adams County! Follow the Thrift movement! The Hoosicr State Automobile association has done some splendid things for the state, not the least of which is the splendid system of m ilking dangerous spots along the various highways. Now they arc advocating the selling of Indiana to the tourist and they point out that ninety per cent of the travelers are. out looking for fellowship, pleasure ami enjoyment. If Ihey drive into Decatur and every body looks as though Ihey had a grouch or Ihc dyspepsia Ihey l«- 1 vo wit li a bad impression while if they arc greeted with cheery howtlys, smiles ami a word of direction, they have the impression of a good com munily and a fine town. Perhaps the most important factors in this work arc the policemen, to whom strangers naturally (urn for informal ion. lie is a walking, talking, adveriiscit of the community.

Face to Face p. With JULIUS WITMARK r, The Music Pußlisher Scarcely moving from his desk, Mr * Julius Wit mark of New York can * whistle to you the current popular s ballad. Constantly In touch with a 0 world-wide field ot music publishing. ® with a correspondence consisting 0 largely of musical scores, ho knows 1 Ihe language of song in America. J s When he looks at the manuscript ho ' seems to sense in the pages, that look like fireek to the average individual who has not studied music, the gem of a popular song. Famous as the wonderful Imy soprano touring with I’rltnrose & ‘ West Minstrels years ago. he began to sense the audience appeal early in life and discovered the particular musical phrase that might impress. When his voice changed he continui ed with one of the foremost musical i comedy companies of the period, and made a reputation as a singer of ballads. An accident occurred in which he lost a leg and his theatric--1 al career had to be given np. but as fur back as 1891 some of the best English ballads were brought to this ' country by Isidore Wltnmrk | It fired the ambition of the father ' and two brothers to build up u music business and publish a catalog of 1 just these songs in a standard Ida k 1 and white title page. This was fie beginning of the “Black and Whihs” 1 series of songs, which include such 1 titles as Ernest Ball’s “Love Me a id ' the World Is Mine.” "The Long, 1 Bong Trail” and Cara Roma's "Can't 1 You Hear Me Calling, Caroline.’' and 1 “In the Garden of My Heart.” .Mr. ■ Witmark seems to know how to bring 1 together (lie lyric wrlt’-r and the composer. He published the inusfml 1 festival chorus of the peace jul/il -e 1 held in Boston. “King Out Sweet - Bells of Peace.” j Julius Witmark is a slender man 1 with keen dark eyes, hair parted in 1 middle and looks more like a musical i artist than a music publisher. Song < writers value the judgment of the 1 man who early in life was attuned to l ‘the popular melody and ' ballad i sentiment of the people. He has not i been swept off his feet by musical i fads, hut keeps close to the fmida- 1 mentals of music. Wliat a panorama ] of world thought and emotion is re- ' fleeted in the songs published by the ' house of Witmark. These songs are < sung in nearly every home and con- < |cert hall and resung and reiterated at I every banquet board with u hearty 1 chorus, but the list übo includes the 1 score of nearly all the operas, so that j! the catalogue the Witmark boys’l

jj| - - •IKS WITMARK My,: j “A song, after ail, is but an ex- j pi ession of some thought or emotion j that is universal. Music is even broader than literature In its sweep. Music in one form or another is the language of the heart.” dreamed of years ago lias become almost encyclopedic in ils character. “A song, after all. Is but an expression of some thought or emotion that i; universal. Music is even broader than literature in its sweep. Mnstc in one form or another is the language of the heart. We must not be 100 harsh in our judgment of jazz, for even Beethoven's syncopations might be interpreted as jazz. Like motion pictures, i: does not call for a creative response, but appeals to (lie rhythmic swing that finds expression In’ the dance. Jazz music is a conglomeration of the creative forms and phrases of music. It is one of those things difficult to define, but lias given an outlet for utilizing the folk songs of the negro anil the weird war dance minors of (he Indians com- j ldne-l with the bra s hand quick step dash, resulting in a distinctive American music.'' Julius Wi'mark is indeed a sang impressario as well as a music publisher, ai d there is very'" little in musical phrase or expression that he doe: not understand. In fact, as I was leaving his office oue day he saiu it to me in music, lie had lust been hearing a new* snog, and''he'"wrote the score of the music and hummed it' softly. 'What words would that musical phrase call for?" and lie wrote the words: "Love's 'own echo.” The words for songs have to ho o'! on adapted to musical expression. The consonants have a hard time of it in their competition with vowels in Ihe lyrics used in a song. The song may lie about constancy, but the consonan's haven’t much of a chance when the vowels are around.

Duncan expected to call his committee together today oi tomorrow to take up consideration of the measure. I He declared the attitude revealed by members of the committee in discussions with hint indicated a favorable report on the bill. The purpose of the bill, according to officers of the Anti-Saloon League who drafted it, is to codify all existing liquor laws and plug up holes in the present statutes which permit of . lax enforcement td prohibition. Representative Frank WriglH, of Randolph county, introduced tile bill at Wednesday's session and Speaker Leslie referred it to Hip morals com-' notice. 1 lit addition to codifying the present' laws, the .measure would re-enact portions of the 1923 prohibition law! which were held invalid liy the state , supreme court because of insufficiency of title. The bill simplifies the definition of. intoxicating beverages to make it indudo Ji'jmacia ginger and lemon ex-' tract, when used as a drink. It makes (he purelutoer of liquor ; equally guilty wita the person who ► sells it and provides a penalty of a t line of fin to SIOO or imprisonment' ► i of not more than six months in the ► j county jail for intoxication in public ► places. A section dealing with punishment of persons operating motor vehicles 1 while under Influences of liquor declares that the smell of liquor on the : breath shall lie sufficient evidence of the pnsou being under the influence of liquor.

This section was inserted, it was pointed out, to eliminate a serious weakness in the present law under which the state supreme court held that evidence obtained against a person could not he used in court when the search warrant was faulty. No trial court would have the power to suspend the sentence of any person convicted of buying or selling liquor um.er the provisions 0 f the bill, which carries a fine of SIOO to SSOO or from thirty days to six months imprisonment for first conviction of bootleggers or their customers. For a second offense the bill makes it mandatory on the court to impose a prison sentence of from one to two years, to which a fine of S2OO to *U--000 may be added. The final draft of the bill was made by the Indiana Anti-Saloon League in co-operation wL representatives o." the national prohibition department. — _—-o — Public Utilities Wiil ' Meet At Capital Thursday Indiana pel's, Jan. 17. — Thursday, l January 22. will he Public Utilities Day in Indianapolis.
