Spends Night on Road. That political meetings are voil of Good Samaritans was evident in Noble county last week when a one-leg-ged truck driver spent the night along the highway because he had forgotton his crutches and no one stopped to aid him. i

One of the truck drivers hauling gravel for the construction work on the Frick road in Elkhart township has but one leg. He makes his trip each day with his loads between the Fair View farm: and Spring Braineh. |

After loading for his last trip Friday he left his crutches at the gravel pit on the Reese farm and started on his last round. His plans were to return to the pit on the way home and get his crutches. : Everything went well until midway on the return trip, his truck’s supply of gasoline gave out and without either gasoline or crutches his means of motivation were gone. | Scores of people returning from a political meeting in Ligonier that night passed the truck- at the side of the road with little thought that it was inhabited. }

Early Saturday morning the unfortunate truck driver sighted a "farmhouse and managed to hop to the farm gate. Here he was held at bay by an unfriendly dog until the family attracted by the dog’s barking noticed the bewildered man. Reports from the construction crew today were that the driver is none the worse for having spent the night in the truck despite the crisp fall air. —Wawaka Correspdondent. \

X © @ Band Music in 5 ¥ ® All Schools, Aim President of ‘Federation of Music Clubs Outlines Plans ~ of Her Organization. Elkhart, Ind—A band or orchestra in every public school in the country

is the goal of the ‘Federation; of Music Clubs, according to information received by the Conn Mausic Center here. “Music has too long been considered a mere accomplishment rather than a necessary part of our educational system,” said Mrs. Edgar Stillman Kelley, national president of the federation, in out-

lining the plans of her organization. “Fortunately the delusion is now beginning to give way and the true value of tone in educational work is being more generally acknowledged. The value of teaching instrumental music in all schools can scarcely be overestimated. The Federation of Musie Clubs is working enthusiastically for the ilnclusion of bands and orchestras as well as glee clubs in the schools because the officers of this, the largest musfcal organization in the world, are convinced of the worth of this procedure. “The public schools are preparing our business leaders of the future, why not our musical leaders? Welcome will be the day when every school in the land will give credit for executive as well as theoretic music. We will then be training the men and women who will later give America a great music of its own. Not every child so trained will make music their life-work but all of them wil be bettered by the training.” :

MANY STATES HAVE BAND TAX LAWS

Question Put Up to Voters With Provision for Re- ‘ peal. |

Elkhart, Ind.—Only 22 of 48 states in the Union are without laws, allowing taxation for the support of municipal bands, it 18 shown in a survey by the Conn Music Center. Even in states without - such. lav;; the survey shows that a number of cities have of their own volition appropriated funds to provide free band concerts for their citizens. ?

The 26 states having laws under which municipalities may appropriate funds for muslic either by action of the common council or after guthorization of voters are: Alabama, California, Colorado, Illinois, Indiana, lowa, Kansas, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Mississippi, Montana, Nebraska, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, South Dakota, Texas, Utah, Vermont, West Virginia, South Carolina, North Carolina and Wisconsin. Movements for ‘similar legislation are now under way in Arizona, Florida, Idaho, Kentucky and :‘New Mexico.

lowa was the pioneer sfate in band legislation, and the laws of many of the states now having such statutes on the books are modeled after the lowa plan. That law provides that the band tax may be levied only after it has received the sanction of the voters, The question is submitted for vote upon petition of .a certain percentage of the qualified voters of the towns and cities. Provision is made for repeal of the tax in the same way.

Spirit Behind School Band‘Makes-Champion Elkhart, Ind—lt's the spirit of a town, and pot the number of its inhgbitants that determines the size and quality .of its high school band, according to James F. Boyer, widely known musician and supervisor of the Conn Music Center here. As proof eof his contention, Mr, Boyer cites the case of Joliet, Illinois, home of America’s 1926 champion'high school band. Oensus figures give the population of Joliet as under 50,000, yet public-spirited fathers and musical1y ambitious sons have here made possible a 65-piece prize-winning band. In their natty full-dress uniforms, the boys - made a sensation as they ‘marched down the streets of Fostoria, Ohio, on Thelr first lap toward national vand honors.

Find-Poor Pupils Eager as Rich to Study Music

DENYJEWS MOLDED ~ CANADIAN INDIANS gCu'stoms S@mc as All Primi- ' tives, Says Scientist.

Vancouver, B. C.—Recognigzed authogities on the archeology and entomology of the American Northwest discredit the view of younger students advanced recently that Hebrew influences were transplanted to this part of the continent in the First century of the Christian era through the medium of Jewish traders accompanyiag expeditions of Chinese adventurers.

Prof. Charles Hill-Tout, a student: of 35 years’ standing, states he is in agreement with. Dr. Franz Boaz of Celumbia university, Doctor. Sapir, now of Chicago University but. until recently In charge of the anthropological section of the geographic survey of Canada, and Harlan 1. Smith, official archeologist of Canada, all of whom have made intensive studies of the primi-. tive races of the Pacific coast, that there is no foundation for the theory that the Jews had a hand in molding the culture of these peoples. / Jewish Customs Universal. These students, who pioneered a study of tribal customs of the native races bordering on the Pacific, came across this theory 30 years ago and discarded it as untenable, says Professer Hill-Tout. A handful of the Jews may have crossed the Pacific with Ohinese expeditions, but it is absurd to suppose. that they could influence the people of an entire continent, continued the professor, pointing out that the customs claimed to have beea transplanted by the Jews, such as fagting, offering sacrifices and purification rites, are common te all primitive tribes, not only of America but of the world. - /

“It is an easy error for beginners to make,” he 'says. “Most people, through reading the Bible, are familfar with early Jewish customs and fall to realize that many of these socalled Jewish rites and ceremonies were in reality universal.

The aborigines of the Pacific coast, like all primitive people, believed in a spirit world, and they made a burnt offering of a man’s ornaments, tools and weapons when he died so he would bave them in the next world. . This custom could not be associated ‘with the burnt offerings of the Jews, ‘Professor Hill-Tout says, ner could the Indian custom of a man taking to ‘himself his deceased brother’s wife. . Most untenahle of all was the attempt to prove the theory by a simi‘larity of words, either in sound or ‘'meaning, he declares. Amy one lan--guage can be made to appear related 'to any other language by the tabula‘tion -of numerous chanee coincly .dences. Words of similar sound and significance do mot prove relationship, as the linguistic construetion is the only reliable guide. ‘D Chinese Influence Found. . Professor Hill-Tout says other authorities were in agreement with him that there was nothing in the linguistie Structure of the native lamguages of ‘the Pacific coast to support the Jewish connection theory. Only those who have made but a superficial study of the situation would attempt to base a theory on such fiimay evidence, ‘he maintained. On the other hand, there is reliable and definite evidence of Chinese linguistiec afifations, he points out.

" Authorities are of the opinion that men of Chinese stock must have crossed over from China between 2,000 and 3,000 years ago, and settled on the Pacific coast of America. That all of these Northwest tribes are of Asfatic origin 1s borne.out both by the linguistic affinities and clearly marked facial resemblance. The folk tales, now being studied, are also closely related. ;

Men Physically Unfit, Health Educator Says Berkeley, Cal.—Although college students have a fairly high degree of physical fitness, as a whele, “Arnerican men are unprepared to’ meet the common physical emergencles and demands of life.” ‘ This is the conclusion of W L. Kleeberger, chairman of the depairtment of physical education of the University of California, 4 ' ! “The inability of meost ef our young men of today to wse the power of their arms, shoulders and middle body is surprising,” he states, and “the danger from thig is greater to the raee than the loss in the power of navigation creditable to the automobile.” Brain matter camnot ~bullt by physical exercise, K.’leobczr believes, but he thinks the present generation should be developed sufficlently to enable a man to act quickly and. aecurately in case of emergeney.

Jeweled Nose Studs for Women Favored London.—Will- the mext fashfon craze for women be jeweled nose studs? A London woman, Mrs. Muriel Blantyre, says they are wonderfully becoming. Her husband beought back from India a ruby nose stud, such as is worn by men and: women of that country. In a. spirit of curiesity Mss.

~ for Pipes One of the reasons that the cost ofglectricity to you has 'gone down within ten years, while everything else has gone up, is the work of the pipe men. , . All day long a man at the power station goes %bout testing steam pipe coverings, am putting on new cover ings, This Keeps the heat and energy of the steam from leaking out. Another man spends all his time testing pipe joints, repairing pipes instantly when a weakness shows. This means that a little trouble can never grow into a/big trouble—that no accident could make us long slow down the power plant and give you less current than you needed. ! - “Electricity, AS much as needed, ' - whenever needed, at the least . cost to consumer,” is our motto.
