Strong and Robust Boys Make Best Students. Say Detroit School Reports (From the Detroit News.) That comforting tradition which held that' the lean, undersized, begoggled pppll in the schools was compensated for his physical lack of being "the bright scholar," has been shattered by an investigation of the board of education, covering 84 thousand children. This investigation shows that the physically robust boy stands at the head of his class in school and

Vtff Is far in advance of the weak youngrw ster of similar age.

In arriving at this conclusion what was called the co-efficient of development was first found. This was the and weight for his age. It was then and weight for hi sage. It was then found that the bigger and better developed the child the farther along he was in his school work. Result of Tests. Taking the grade for a child of normal weight and height for his age at 100, it was found that if a child Is two and a half years ahoad of his age group in school he Is also 10.2 percent higher and heavier than the ordinary child of his age. In the same way it was found that a child 9.5 percent under weight and height for his age is four years behind in school. These figures held true for the entire 84 thousand children examined, though the difference among girls was slightly less than among boys. But boys or girls, the accelerated children those heavier and taller than usual are ahead in school, while the retarded children those underdeveloped are behind. However, there are many factors nationality and hereditary characteristics which in different individuals and groups tend to modify these conclusions, the Investigation showed. Because of the varying characteristics of the different nationalities the heightweight ratio has to be considered In connection with the group to which the child belongs.

fi- Of the S4.389 children examined. 34,typeD were classed as United States

white; 3,194. United States negro; 8,903 were Anglo-Saxon: 6.077, Teutonic: 5,590, Latin: 6,572, Russian (Jewish), and 10.362 miscellaneous. The study revealed that the United States whites follow closely the average for the city in weight, but are slightly above it in height. The Anglo-Saxon children are average in height, but slightly below the average for the city in weight. The Teutonic , children agree with the city average in height, but depart slightly in weight, heing generally lower. The Latin children show a large variation in both height and weight, being below average in both. The Russian children are shorter than the average, but are practically the average weight. The study revealed that there are about as many children above the average as below the average. The deviation from the normal is greater among girls than among boys, particularly during the adolescent period. Those 10 percent above and 10 percent below were considered normal.

The Manufacture of Jazz By FREDERICK J. HASKIN

NEW YORK CITY, Nov. 5. American ragtime is now factory-made. Popular songs no longer are the products of lone, gifted individuals, but the work of organized experts. Their various parts are created and assembled with the same speed and mechanical perfection as motor cars. Who wrote the song hits of yesteryear? In all probability not those to whom they were credited, but nobody remembers the names of the authors anyway it is hard enough to remember the names of the songs. In these restless times the life of a popular song hit is scarcely longer than the life of a toothbrush. It wears out quickly under intense pressure, and the public is ready for a new one. En thuslasts like to buy half a dozen songs at one time and play them incessantly for perhaps a month, supplementing their own efforts on the family piano with phonograph records of the same tunes. At such merciless repetition even the most sympathetic ear is certain to rebel, so that it is not long before the jazz-wranglers weary of these melodies and replace them with five or six new numbers. In the face of such an enormous and ever-changing demand, the independent song artist could not hope to survive. In his place have grown up large jazz factories, capable of producing and marketing many songs a year. Irving Berlin, for example, who used to write his own songs in the privacy of his own home, now has a large and sumptuous jazz factory, containing 22 sound-proof studios and employing a staff of 175 persons. In Mr. Berlin's plant, it i3 true, th usual factory atmosphere is obscured by decoration. The studios are finished in mauve and French gray, with carpets an inch and a quarter thick, ivory wicker chairs upholstered with flowered cretonne, wall friezes depicting the Muses in gay and festive mood, and soft, inverted lights. With these concessions to art. the routine of sonej production proceeds as briskly as any other business. . This includes two important tasks, according to Mr. Saul II. Bornstein, general manager of the Berlin plant. "One is to take the germ of an idea," he says, "synchronize it to the tempo of the hour, and make it into a technically perfect song hit. These ideas come from two sources the staff writers and the inspired outsider." Building a Song. Suppose you belong to the latter class. You write a set of verses which you think would make a snappy song. You take it to Mr. Bornstein. "How about the melody?" he immediately asks you. "Got anv ideas for ;that?" You believe you have. Accompanying him to his private, sound-proof office, which contains a grand piano, you whistle a few bars into his critical ear. Listening attentively, he gradually picks out the melody on the piano until the substance of a connected song appears. Then he pushes a button and a staff writer comes in. Mr. Bornstein goes over the melody and words with him a couple of times, after which you and the staff writer adjourns to another sound-proof room, where you devote the rest of the day to perfecting the manuscript. "Then this first rough draft," explains Mr. Bornstein, "goes to another stafT writer, who makes a technically perfect piano arrangement; to another who makes a vocal arrangement; to another who makes an orchestra arrangement; to another who arranges it for dancing and still another who arranges it for a band. It is the work of still another staff wrlttr to impro To Stop Falling Hair You can easily clean your head ofi dandruff, prevent the hair falling out' and beautify it, If you u';e Parisian: sage, says A.

When the story emerges from this process, a finished product which is the work of half a dozen men. it is ready for exploitation, in some respects the factory's most important task. Thirty thousand copies of the song are printed and distributed to 30,000 orchestra leaders in all parts of the country. The vaudeville trade receives 50,000 professional copies. Special salesmen must Interest vaudeville principals in its use. The rights of mechanical reproduction must be disposed Of to talking machine and player piano companies. The song must be extensively advertised in the trade papers. All of these things must be attended to before the factory's sales force enters the music store field. An important item in marketing a song is its cover. Songs with a wide popular appeal are not nearly as numerous as they used to be. "The Love Nest" and "Whispering," which were distinctly of this order, were only two cut of dozens of songs marketed the same year. But these other songs sold moderately well, in spite of their lack of charm, probably because they offered something new and because of their atractive covers. A good cover contains the title of the song in large, -4 Y r mm Y CD Medicine Best for Colds Bronchitis, Asthma and all Throat Troubles, Builds new Strength. NO DANGEROUS DRUGS.

clear print and an extremely simple design. A wholly black cover with the title in large white letters has achieved great popularity, while yellow is also apt to attract the attention of the public. ... Songs That Sell on Their Looks. There are some songs, known to the trade as "counter songs" which sell altogether on the merits of their covers. They are so lacking in appeal

that no one expects the buyers to sing them, yet some of them have achieved a sale of more than 200,000 copies, much' to the gratified amazement Of the publishers. The "counter song" may be anything from a fox-trot to a sentimental ballad, but it Is always something which has cast the song factory very little probably not more than $50, paid to some poverty-stricken hack. The "name cover" featuring the author of the song and sometimes including his likeness, is tempbrarily out of fashion, for it has been found that with the exception of one or two familiar names like Ernest R. Ball and Irving Berlin, the name of the writer on a cover is merely a waste of print. The public does not see it. Furthermore, as has been intimated, names are handled rather carelessly by song factories. "StafT writers." says one song writer, "put their names on many, numbers which they may have heard only once. The staff writer thinks he is entitled to a split on the royalties and authorship for introducing the writer to a publisher. Some houses make it a practice to sign everything with standard names which they attach to everything. Many writers who are in with the publishers buy up songs outright for a few dollars. and turn them in as their own work. There was a very popuiar war song that made a great deal of money for a couple of fellows who signed it. but as a matter of fact they bought it outright from a poor fellow who needed a little coin right away. Another big hit of several years ago was the work of a staff arranger, who sold the thing to a man who placed it on a royalty basi3." In one case a young amateur song wruer som a melody and lyrics to a song-producing plant for $50. The Arm published the song, and it became very poDular. Belietfng that he had been deliberately deceived as to its real value, the young man brought suit for an accounting, and the number has been withdrawn from the market pending developments. Most competent song writers, however, have the sagacity to ally themselves with song factorias and not to wander about attempting to sell their products to chance . acquaintances. They replize that jazz has passed into the hand sof American indnstrv and that the independent, carefree days of Tin ran Alley are over. The nlrl. fashioned brownstone houses on that ramous melodic thoroughfare (otherwise known as West . Twenty-eighth Street) are now silent, and of the valiant ragtime brigade that once made their old walls ' quiver with noisy melody, only a few personalities have survived the substitution of modern Industrial methods for what they chose to call "art." Chief among these survivors is the Singing Waiter of Nigger Mike's divo in Pell Street, who, successfully bridging the chasm, now . owns . a. $500,000 rosidence on Fifth Avenue, his own theater and his own jazz factory.

Helga, the ! beautiful Norse wife of Attila, was a! fitting mate to this barbaric warrior.: Amazonian in figure, gigantic in! strength, she accompanied him on all ; his raids. She acted as Attila's aidej de camp, his secretary and his chief ' of staff. She planned the campaigns that led to his ascendancy over most j of the civilized world. For all her daring and strength, however, she was I still a woman. It had been Attila's ; custom to carry off the woman of the vanquished tribes, but Helga put an! end to this, giving as her reason that the women impede dtheir progress.' Her real motive, it is believed, was' fear that she might lose her sovereign position. So it bci ame the custom, in-; stead, to kill the women. j Another example of her feminine : instinct was the trouble she went to for the sake of her beauty. On all I their travels she caused to be brought i along a drove of asses, so that she might have her daily bath in their milk. Helga was as courageous In death as she was in life. After the unsuccessful campaign at Chalons, when Attila was stopped by the Franks and the Romans, Attila, the scourge, determined to die rather than face defeat. He built a funeral pyre and was about to climb upon it when Helga approached. "My lord," she said, "why do you not die as you mete out death to others? Behold, it does not hurt." And plunging her dagger into her heart, she fell dead at his feet. Attila did not follow her example, neither did he fling himself on the funeral pyre. He gathered new courage and lived to fight again. ASSERT IRISH WAR WOULD COST 250,000,000 POUNDS LONDON. Nov. 5 The sequence to a breakdown in the Irish conference would be a war, which would cost 250,000,000, declared Frederick G. Kellaway, postmaster general, addressing a political meeting at Rushden, today. He believed it probable that 50,000 . lives would be sacrificed to conquer Ireland, should such a war be waged.
