MUSIC WEEK 1-71 S every one knows, nearly every week in the year is set aside as some particular kind of week. We have eat more toast weeks and drink lemonade weeks, and all sorts of weeks. .But once in a while a “week” that strikes every one as very much worth while comes along. Such a one is music week, starting May 4. The poet said that “the man who has no music in his soul is fit for treasons, stratagems and spoils.” These are harsh words, but there is no doubt of the uplifting influence of music nor of the satisfaction of musical appreciation. Music week is designed to center the attention of the public generally on things musical. The program for the week includes everything from a contest between high school orchestras to a recital by Mme. Schumann-Heink. Perhaps the contests among high school organizations are the most interesting feature of the program. Those in charge of the contests are putting music in this respect on the same basis as competitive athletics. This certainly should result in renewed interest. TIE LIKES HIS MEDICINE m' ,p a prize were to be offered to the Cabinet member who j could make the best pretense of liking bitter medicine, Secretary of the Interior Work would, in all probability, be the winner. Secretary Work has just been forced to fire his personal friend, David W. Davis, from the job of commissioner of reclamation, and to appoint to that position Dr. Elwood Mead, honored reclamation engineer. And the secretary pretends to like it. He says the selection of Dr. Mead assures the successful future of the reclamation service. < That’s fine. Mead’s appointment is perhaps the best appointment that has been made during the Coolidge regime. But it wasn’t of Secretary Work’s mwn free will that this fortunate selection eventuated. Secretary Work only last year announced the reclamation service needed a “business man” at its head. So he fired Arthur P. Davis who, with Dr. Mead, ranks as one of the real reclamation experts in the United States, and put into office David W. Davis, who knew nothing whatever about reclamation, but who would take orders from the front office. In the control of either Elwood Mead or of Arthur P. Davis, the reclamation service is safe. But it is pure tommy-rot to hold up the appointment of Dr. Mead as anything more than a correction of a previous error--a correction forced upon the Administration by conservationists. t From the apparent enthusiasm Secretary Work shows over the appointment, one is tempted to believe that when he was a small boy he was taught to smile when he was given castor oil. KANT "FTJUROPE -celebrates the 200th anniversary of the birth of lit Immanuel Kant. He was one of the greatest philosophers of all time. Yet he spent his life within a radius of twenty-five miles from his birthplace in Germany. Thus disproving the hokum that travel is the greatest educator. Maybe you ponder how much greater his opportunities should have been if he had a radio in his house. Not, however, with the sort of programs broadcast now. That will change. Radio will become the greatest educator—in time. CORELLI SHE late Marie Corelli, born in 1864. was only 22 when her “Romance of Two Worlds” was published. This revealed genius, for in those days few books were published, compared with now, and to find a publisher willing to take a chance was like looking for the needle in the haystack. Critics who scorn the literary quality of the Corelli books may snort at linking her with genius. But genius is the ability to sell, quite as much as the ability to write. A successful writer needs both. George Ade said, “Anyone can write a play. It takes a genius to sell it.” GAMBLING mHE man who plays the stock market with a few hundred dollars, his savings, has only an extremely faint chance of not losing it, let alone pyramid it into a fortune. So nays Cromwell, president of the New York Stock Exchange. “Practically a sure loser” is how he describes the man with limited funds playing the market on margin. This wisdom is as old as “the market.” Trouble is, anew crop of suckers is constantly growing up. THE bonus estimators are only $2,000,000,000 apart now, showing what a figure the matter cuts. WHAT Mr. Bryan means is that, while he is bearing the cross today, he will not be averse to wearing the crown tomorrow. HARLAN FISKE STONE, we are informed, likes a dinner.” What more have we a right to ask in General? jgßE&Siring March, New York magistrates sent 315 traffic violathe workhouse, and the old town should be reasonably democracy by July time. . SENATOR WATSON began to dislike investigations about the time the famous Mike Mulhall gave his testimony, some years back. CLEVELAND has reduced its electric rates enough to permit the Republican convention to burn something aside from oil. That’s service, and discretion, too. ' RECENT tests show that our children are of “low ethical standards,” and the testimony at Washington shows that some of our men are children of a larger growth. It runs in the family. AN UNUSUAfc NUMBER of mad dogs for this time of year is reported from various sections of the country, showing that the disposition to bite somebody or something isn’t entirely confined to i&iman beings.

FACTS ABOUT BIG MEN AT WASHINGTON

Mellon Stammers and Taft Has Bathtub Near Office, By ROBERT TALLEY mF the folk back home should ever see Washing-ton at close range they would be surprised by some of the little known facts about big men. Secretary of the Treasury Mellon stammers; and perhaps- for this rea,son he seldom accepts an invitation to deliver a public address. President Coolidge's hair is almost red; almost, but not quite. His speeches read smoothly and display an excellent command of English, but in conversation he seems to hesitate for the proper word. Chief Justice Taft of the Supreme Court has a bathtub at the Capitol where he refreshes himself after walking three miles to work each morning. General Pershing is one of the bestdressed men in Washington and, in uniform of “civvies.” is the personification of sartorial elegance. General Hines Trots Gen. John C. Hines, deputy chief-of-staff. and head of the nation’s ar<mies whenever Pershing is absent, doesn’t walk —he trots. Almost any day he dan be seen going through the corridors of the War Department Bldg, in his unusual, nervous-like gait. Cigarettes may be bad for the health, but Surgeon Gen. Hugh S. Gumming of the United States Public Health Service is a heavy smoker just the same. Senator Borah does not own an auto, but rides to and from the Capitol each day on the street cars, usually perusing a book or newspaper during the journey. He does own a saddle horse, however, and frequently may he seen riding along the bridle paths in Rock Creek Park. Senator Wheeler's two sons carry newspaper routes and deliver papers to Washington subscribers, just as their father carried a route in his youth. Magnus Shocks 'Em Senator Magnus Johnson does not roar in a leonine voice, as most folks have been led to believe, but occasionally he forgets himself and uses the word "damn” amid highly dignified surroundings. Senator Heflin. Alabama, who can speak for hours on a stretch without coming up for air. invariably wears a fierce double-breasted white vest, a high collar and a coat with claw hammer tails. His colleague. Senator Underwood, presidential candidate, is modestly attired in a plain business suit and is always smiting and in good humor. Senator Copeland. New York. Is never seen without a bright red carnation in his button hole; just why, nobody seems to know. ' Maj. Gen. Leonard Wood, now gov ernor general of the Philippines and one time prospective presidential candidate, still limps as the results of an injury received when he struck his head on a chandelier in a hotel at Havana, Cuba, years ago and affected a motor nerve. He was wounded in the leg by a shell fragment In France, but from this he completely recovered. This fact also brings to mind that for several years both President Roosevelt and President Wilson were blind in the left eye. although in neither did It become publicly known until after death. Tom Sims Says: A Virginia boy who thought he could rob a man and get away with it will be 50 before he gets away, according to a Judge. If you don’t believe th" ant Is a model of Industry just try to keep them out of the sugar. A great many fishermen would play golf If you had to sit on the bank and wait for a golf ball. A man Is known by the bill collectors he keeps knocking at his door. It only takes one to start a fight and that is always the other one. Sense is what gets you by when you don’t know anything. The funniest thing on earth is a woman who doesn't use perfume talking with a man who does. \ No matter how free a man is with his money when he drops a nickel he slaps his foot on it. What tickles a man more than finding a quarter in the pocket of his old last Rummer's suit? The only place you can enjoy the railroad fare is in a diner, and that costs about a $1 a mi’e. Science Millions of years ago, the great coal beds were wondrous lorests. Strange beasts, flying lizards of gigantic size, enormous dragon flies, tree ferns hundreds of feet high and other queer things abounded. All these have disappeared fro mthe earth. Not a single species of this carboniferous period is knVywn in all the living world. The period was one of nature’s experimental stages in evolution and was wiped out and followed by others. Recently, the fossil remains of a small plant, belonging to the club mosses, was found. This plant lived during the carboniferous, period and had learned to form a true seed. This was a great advance over all the lower forms of vegetation of that period and marked a distinct step in evolution. The question then arises: Why did it not survive? The answer is not known. It had the advantage of propagation by seed, but it failed in the struggle for survival. This plant is called miadesima end it is of great interest to scientists because of the mystery surrounding its failure to exist and because, if it had survived, the world would be far different today, for it would have different vegetation and would not b*? in possession of the flowers and fruits it now enjoys.

CO UZENS IN STATEMENT ABOUT G. O. P. Solon From Michigan Wants to Know About Instructions, By U. S. SENATOR JAMES COUZENS OF MICHIGAN EASI-C you. what ' constitutes the Republican position: That promulgated by one man, Mr. Mellon, or the opinion of an overwhelming majority of Republicans in Congress? Or they may say the test of a real Republican Senator is that he must always follow the Republican leader, Mr. Henry Cabot Lodge. Which leads me to ask: How am I to know what Mr. Lodge wants me to do? My name comes ahead of his on thp roll call. Ain I expected to run aVid ask him how I should vote whenever a question comes up? Certainly Mr. Lodge has never come to tell me how I should vote, nor has he called the Republicans in caucus to determine a party position. How (an He Know? I W'ant to emphasize this fact again right here. There has not been a single caucus of Republican Senators called to discuss an executive issue in this session of Congress—not a single, one. How can there possibly be any sort of unity of Republican ac tion unless we are called together for discussion of the issues, or at least told what the so-called party leaders want us to do? And these party leaders themselves do not hesitate to oppose the President. Only yesterday Mr. Lodge. Mr. I Watson, Mr. Curtis and a majority of the other Old Guard Republicans i voted fori the soldier bonus despite thei strong objection made to it by President Coolidge in his annual message, j And last week we saw Senator Lodge \ leading t_he fight for complete exclu-j sion of Japanese immigration, again against the express desire of President Coolidge and Secretary Hughes, j Should Agree If we* nre to follow our leaders it seems to me a first essential that our leaders should agree among them selves. Again it may be said that we should follow our party platform, but the fact Is that scarcely one of the issues we I are-legislating on is mentioned iiv the! party platform of the Republican or any other party. It has seemed to me that there was only one practical course of procedure for any Senator —whatever his pyrtyname—and that is to support his patty on organization issues, whenever a i pledge in the party platform is in-j volved, and otherwise where a clearly i defined party issue is involved, and I on other questions to examine thei facts to the best Gs his ability arid j vote the way his judgment and hisj conscience dictate —(From an interview given the Detroit News). Alone Bv HAL COCHRAN Did you ever try gr-ttin' away from the crowd nisi fadin' away from the world? Most any one’s mind, if it’s! really allowed. works oddly as thoughts are unfurled. To stretch by a stream and Just leisurely dream Is good for a soul, so they say. The thoughts of the past linger in hut don’t, last, for the future ones drive them away. It's good for a man just to loaf I when he can and let his mind run.as 'll will. No rush and no hurry: no reason for worry if time is the thing you must kill.

U. S. WOULD HA VE ROAD TO THE SKIES Government Plans Highway to Sunjimit of Hawaiian Peak, HARRY W. FRANTZ r-p, jHE loveliest fleet of islands | J that lie anchored in any sea,” L, i was a description applied to the Hawaiian group by Mark Twain. Dreadnought of these island is Hawaii itself, and its masts are Mauna Loa and Mauna Kea. These are two of the highest volcanic peaks arising from any island in the world, being respectively 13,676 and 13.825 feet above the Pacific. It is the dream of the National Park Service to build a road to the summit of Mauna Loa. Expenditures for national park highways authorized by Congress, if later approved by th? director of the budget, may permit the construction of this highway within the next three years. Wonderful Scenery "The read up Mauna Loa will af ford access of the most wonderful scenery in the world.” said Horace M. Albright, field assistant to the director of the National Park Service. "It will pass Ivoa forests, great tree ferns as high as houses, rare sandalwood trees, in which are wonderful tropical birds-—a veritable museum of nature. At the summit is Mokuaweoweo crater. nine and one half miles in circumference. Leaving the summit before daylight and coming to Red Hill, one looks down 10,000 feet on tho lava pit of Kilauea. You see it there like a great red eye—it really magnificent.” ' Mr. Albright at. congressional hear ings pointed out that construction of the road will be facilitated because the lava will afford a natural base for the road. Some of this lava, known to the natives as “aa,” Is rough and brittle, but could be turned into roadway construction by the use of a heavy roller. Oilire Roads Planned Besides the road up Mauna lA>a. the National Park Service contemplates seven craters running from Kilauea to the sea. Another will he a better highway from the rim of Kilauea to Halemaumau—the House of Everlasting Fire. Including the Mauna Ixm road the estimated total cost of the construction Is $260,000. World travelers are enthusiastic about the development of Hawaii National Park It. contains areas be loved by Mark Twain and Jack Ixtndon as by all others who have bee, there. The famous Haleakala—House of the Sun —on the island of Mani is a part of its area. A Thought Deliver me from all my transgres slons: make me not the reproach o' the foolish.—Ps. 39:8.

READER SA YS PRESIDENT IS MISTAKEN Citizen Takes Issue W'ith Coolidge Statement About Policy, To the Editor of The Times What the President had in mind when he said “we need a faith broad enough to let the people make their own mistakes,” would be of universal interest just now. The statement is too broad to be understandable, unless we assume the attitude of a student deeply interested in the rise of the human race from the cradle up to the presidency. Pray tell —why Is the (President and Congressmen obliged to be of a certain age before they can hold office? Why are not all the Congressmen elected to office at one and. the same time? They are supposed to he Government specialists and give to the people the best they have to offer. , I wonder if he would be willing to. employ a physician on the same kind of reasoning or principle of action? Would he likewise employ a teacher, or cook, or attorney, or captain of a boat? How are we going to be able to advance, “morally, socially, intellectually, politically, economically,” if we are obliged to hobble along in each of these fields of action and conduct making all the mistakes that would necessarily accompany such an undertaking. “Let the people make their own mistakes” is not that a very dangerous thing to do among those entrusted with affairs of estate? A teacher is better than a bailiff only when he prevents. Instructs and warns the pupil: a physician is better than an undertaker only when he prevents his appearance; newspapers are better than law' only when they inform the people; a minister must prevent, as w'ell as reform the devil’s actions; a newspaper may elect a good man or a bad on® through mistaken notions gnd Information. but should the people be made to suffer for such a mistake? Why does he allow a Cabinet to advise him, if not to avoid mistakes? Why did he make Mr. Stone instead of Mr. Lucey a member of the Cabinet, when the later “made me all that I am?” The guarantee to local or national peace is not through “'first duty to self" nor in making all the mistakes in life and then correcting them. The mistake made four years ago will never be corrected. He shys today—“we believe in treaties, covenants, and international law as a permanent record for reliable determination of action.” Is such "faith broad” enough to act upon? Test Yourself A Isl-year-old child should he the subject of this test. Draft your sou or daughter or a neighbor’s child. But you can also try it on yourself and see how superior you are in naming words. The idea is to see how many words can be named in three minutes. Have someone keep time, telling when to begin and when to stop. Also, have the timekeeper count the words as they are said. Any w'ords will do in this test, such as “book.” “automobile,” "goat.” "air.” etc. Urge the person being tested to dg his best and name as many words a* he can as fast as he can. Words such as ‘four.” "five,” "six.” etc., are not allowed: neither are words put together forming sentences or phrases, such as 'the little dog.” Al! words must be distinctly separate. However, words having the same meaning are acceptable, for instance, “hat,” ‘)cap.” “bonnet,” etc. The normal 1.0-year-old should name sixty worths in the three minutes. Something in That Dads’ New Car “Gad! We’s discovered it at last.” “Discovered what?’ ’ "Perpetual motion—l can’t stop her.”—Anonymous. After Sister “So Miss Ethel is your oldest sister? Who comes after her?” “Nobody ain't come yet; but Pa says the first fellow that comes can have her.”—Everybody's.
