SPYGLASSES AND LORGNETTES CALLED INTO PLAY TO DETECT SCULPTURED SATIRE USED

BY ARCHITECTS: FIND EVIDENCE IN GOTHAM

(By Associated Press) NEW YORK. Aug. 23 Devoting f pare hours to careful inspection of public buildings in the hope of finding satire in stone has become a fad. It began with the discovery by a reporter that architects had carved a dollar sign as a twin motif to the lovers' knot over the "bridge's entrance" to St. Thomas's Church on Fifth Avenue. A few days later some one leaving the Sunday services observed for the first time that miniature faces of modern men and maids of the Avenue

had been chiseled above the main door j

of the edifice. A congregation that went to pray remained to laugh. Many Types Represented. Some of the caricatures wore monocles, others wore smiles; some w-ere surely tired business men and good housewives, while others manifestly were flappers and boulevardiers. Everybody conceded that they represented modern Fifth Avenue "types." One face was not so modern, however. It was a year or two behind the times. 'On its nose was the unmistakable bulge of a "rum blossom." Another had such a bored look observers were sure it was a man who

just went to church to please the wire. Rumors that many well known buildings in New York had been subjected to jocose treatment by the r.rtisans who worked upon them, moved whole flocks of people to sally forth, some with spy-glasses or lorgnettes, to look for sculptured jokes. Architects gave interviews explaining how serious the satire was; this sort of humor has been practiced since the middle ages, not in a spirit of levity, but with the design of presenting to the people examples of right and wrong in thought and action, they said. Skeptics persisted in believing the architects had just had their little joke, and none would have been surprised in finding a bust of Lenine concealed in the decorations of the New

York Stock Exchange, or a carving of

Fal.-staff at the headquarters of the Anti-Saloon League. At New Haven it was noted that Harkness Memorial Quadrangle which every Yale man considers the last word in college architecture, in America sheltered among the nook5 of its buildings many faces, figures and symbols of college life. There was the placid bul-dog, with horn rimmed spectacles and a grim-visaged bull-dog wearing a football helmet, and there were many shades of Blue history revived in stone. Students Are Pleased. The students, unlike some of the parishioners of St. Thomas's church, were pleased with the decorative work. It is believed no Yale student will raise a single sigh of objection

unless somebody discovers a Harvard man graven in the structure. Designers of Gothic buildings always have possessed a humorous drafting pen. Their satiric chuckles

at clergy and laity have come down through the centuries in the stone of many of the sober old cathedrals of Europe. The medieval craftsmen were downright boisterous in some of their caricatures. Gluttony is portrayed in clerical robes on the battlements of Magdalen college, Oxford. In a Yorkshire church "Ecclesiastical Sincerity" is rendered by two foxes, representing the sport

ing clergy of the Middle Ages, listening to a bishop's instructions. Out of their hoods peep the heads of stolen geese. Thirteenth century fun makers guffawed mightily at all orders of the clergv in an ornamentation of the Stras'burg cathedral, depicting "The Funeral of the Fox." This sculpture created so many irritating embrloigoa among church-goers that it was demolished in the middle of the ninteenth century. Wandering minstrels of the middle ages were satirized for the fondness of free meals, one of the Westminster cathedral showing a fid

dling pig. Architects have said that many churches in America contain humorous decorations. Prevailing interest in finding them is expected to increase church attendance.

A

words. With the first two notes, "do. re, 'our musical conversations start." In these "so-called musical conversations" the children in turn compose spontaneous and original little wordless solfas, which the class must recognize by singing or writing. From the outset the ear as well as the voice is trained. With the exception of songs carefully selected by Mrs. Ward,

words are rarely used. One of the,l

striking points of departure from the usual method is that the staff is not introduced until alter three months of work. Numerals are used instead.

Mrs. Justine Ward. ideas. I think that it is much more important to develop a child's own musical instinct with the result that the child can think independently in music and put down its own thoughts. Thus our aim is to present music to a child not as something mysterious and difficult, or merely songs to learn by heart, but as a beautiful new speech in which they can often express what they feel better than in

Ministers Say Light Law . Injures Church Service HARTFORD CITY, Ind. Aug. 29. Local ministers declare the enforcement of the state traffic regulations by state officers here is cutting down

the attendance at evening church ser

vices. Farmers have been informed they must keep the tail lights burning at night, even when the cars are parked. To keep the lights burning during service quickly burns them out, drivers say, and farmers are spending their time elsewhere Sunday evenings, the ministers declare.

JAIL BIRDS DEPRIVED

OF LOAFING HABITS GREENVILLE. Aug. 29. Prisoners who are given jail sentences in Darke county, will no longer have a life of ease while awaiting for release. A contract has been entered into by the county commissioners whereby all prisoners will be sent to the Dayton work house to serve their sentences.

imposed, will work at the rate of

70 cents a day. It formerly was the

custom to confine prisoners in the

county jail where they spent their time in idleness.

DEVELOPS METHODS OF TEACHING MUSIC TO CHILDREN EASILY "Any child of six can be taught not only to love music but to use music as easily and spontaneously as a new

vocabulary through which to express what it personally see, feels or hears." Mothers who have had to watch-dog their children at the piano will be startled at these words of Mrs. Justine Ward, the originator of the meth

od which makes it possible. Mrs. Ward recently endowed the method which bears her name and is revolutionizing the methods of teaching music to children. It has attracted such widespread attention in musical and educational circles that 40 cities in the United States and Canada are already adopting it in their school systems. Can't Grasp It. "One of the reasons why the old method of teaching music to the child is far less productive of results," explains Mrs. Ward, "is that it is not only dry and uninteresting, but difficult for a child to grasp. Modern notation is merely an arbitrary way of putting down other people's musical
