Depression Sour Note for Music, Veteran Violin Maker Here Claims

Arthur R. Boles Regrets Lack of 5-Cent Jew’sHarp for Boys. BY JOE COLLIER One thing about the depression, it has brought on a demand in the juvenile musical instrument market for a nickel jew's-harp, and to Arthur R. Boles, violin maker, that's been one of the hardest things of | all to deal with. It isn't that he wants to keep the youngsters from their music. But j there's just no such thing as a jew'sharp. he says, that can sell for 5 j cents. They don't play true —the metal’s not good, and the tongue is worse, Mr. Boles insists. Mr. Boles runs a shop at 668 E. St. Clair-st. Yet, because of the depression, the youngsters who, in prosperity, would be buying violins and horns and saxophones, now come running is for jew's-harps. Moreover, Mr. Boles, who is 65, thinks the musicless depression is | going right on and on. He notices ; no more calls today for the really : good horses’ tails for violin bow strings than he did a year ago. They take inferior hair and then are very | unhappy over it when it makes a squeaky tone, he said. Built Last Violin He hasn’t built a violin for eight | years and probably won’t ever build another, he said. Those he has I built and has in stock have been reduced in price. Another thing, more people come running to him and stammer out that, what does he think, they’ve found a real Stradivarius violin. Mr. Boles has two violins with Stradivarius labels on them he’ll sell for $7. The reason is that a lot of factory-made violins all have Stradivarius labels in them. Besides, Stradivarius couldn’t j make any better fiddle than a good workman today, Mr. Boles believes, but the Stradivarius is prized as an antique. Lowdown on Stradivarius The reason there are more of his make than of others who may have been just as good in his day is that Stradivarius made so many presents to royalty who handed them down from generation to generation. Probably nooody ever played them much, Mr. Boles believes. The depression has been really serious to the musical future of the nation. Mr. Boles claims. He is letting a high school boy carry put the furnace ashes once a week in payment for a guitar the boy plays with some skill. As for himself. Mr. Boles, who is & cousin of John Boles, the movie actor, has managed to keep out the wolf by repair business. When violins break, he mends them. Flays Some Himself You have to be expert to do that, and Mr. Boles, who has worked with the largest musical instrument dealers in the world, considers himself expert. As for playing the violin himself, Mr. Boles admits he “saws around on a fiddle now and then,” but he says making fiddles took so much time away from playing them that he had to choose between the two. He wouldn’t be interested in anything but concert playing anyway, he says.

NOVEMBER FIRE LOSS LOWEST IN CITY'S HISTORY S6OOO Damage Is Record for Winter Months, Says Chief Kennedy. The lowest fire loss record for any winter month in the history of the Indianapolis Fire Department stands today as the achievement of the department for November, according to Fred C. Kennedy. This record of 239 runs with a loss of only S6OOO has been checked in all the record books and in the memories of the oldest members and found to stand alone, he said. Last year’s loss for the same month was. $28,064 on 309 runs. “Not only is this a wonderful record,” Chief Kennedy said, “but no injuries were incurred by any fireman and there was no loss of life.” Chief Kennedy lauded the efficiency of the department and the work of the Fire Prevention Squad under Chief Bernard Lynch. He also commended Jndianapolis citizens for their co-operation during Fire Prevention Week saying, "We hope to be able to keep the fire loss figure down and the help given to the men during our drives is a big encouragement.”

Foul Bawl! City zoning board members are wondering today if they have been insulted. In fact, they're pretty sure they have been. It happened yesterday. Under consideration was a proposed funeral parlor at 5342 E. Washington-st. Residents of the vicinity asked the board to turn thumbs down on the icea. They said it was depressing because a lot of people would have their day ruined by the sight of a funeral first thing in the morning. Besides, the streets are narrow and there would be a traffic hazard, they said. One woman was particularly concerned. She sat on the edge of a table and made remarks. The board heard both sides and unanimously voted approval. “Why, the dirty skunks!” she said. The meeting adjourned.
