Discussing the therapeutical value of music, he ‘makes out such a good case that the audience - cheers and votes enough money to install a super- ' radiphone in Bellevue. Says Dr. Lambert: “Music can ease the strain of life for a great number of patients, but not for all. It calls up cheerful thoughts and lessens monotony, and it is of enormous benefit to the nervously broken down, to children, and to most surgical cases, for music appeals more to the emotions than to reason. “People differ, not in opinion but in stages of intellectual and spiritual development. So some want jazz and some want fugues, and neither is soothed by the music that pleases the other. Music might heal or injure. Wherever it cheers, though, it heals.” j Jazz might cure one dying person—and kill an- : other, thick with the dust of culture. What’s one ‘ man’s meat is another’s poison. Maybe you have visions of a new medical fad, impending, psychoanalysis and endocrine gland { i t doctoring shoved aside to make way for a new ‘school of doctors armed with saxophones and fiddles. Fear not, the medicinal value of music i3 mot5-; ing new. It was discussed enthusiastically by leading European physicians, in the Philosophical Maga- ‘zine for May, 1806. Among great practitioneers who prescribed music were Dusaux, Burette, De ‘‘Mairan and Bianchini. ‘ Some of them went as far as to belive that music ‘could cure sciatic rheumatism. But, in the main, “they believed that music’s greatest medical pow- ers were in diverting the attention, soothing the herves, making people forget imaginary ailments, and curing the insane. You recall, further back, how David was em- ployed in his youth to cure Saul’s mental derange- ment by harp playing. Varro thought music good for gout. The anci- ‘ents believed fever could be cured by singing, . plague by a lyre and deafness by proper blasting with a trumpet. ; The commonest cause of sickness is the body’s organs getting out’ of harmony with each, other. Back of this is inharmonious nervous condition or unbalanced functioning of endocrine glands. And, back of that, is inharmonious thought. Music puts the soul in tune, eases the aching brain, soothes the nerves. It is not far from those to bodily harmony—health. : This, of course, drifts into hypnotism, like the charmed cobra swaying to the Hindu juggler’s reed flute. The radio craze may do the national health more good than a freight-trainful .of quinine, calomel and sassafras tea, provided it doesn’t cir- culate too much jazz—the medical opium. OFFSPRING A 91-year-old woman dies, leaving 103 direct descendants. She is Mrs. Charlotte Vander Mue- len, of Green Bay, Wis. As she departs into eternity, she is mourned by her 8 children, 37 grandchildren, 57. great-grand- children and one great-great-grandchild. You marvel at the size of the family she start- ed, and wonder how she “‘told them all apart.” Trace Mrs. Muelen’s family tree back 2000 years and you would come to a woman with hun- dreds of thousands of descendants now walking the ‘earth. Death is the penalty of having children. If all of ‘us lived forever, earth would become so crowd- ed that people would be packed together like sar- dines. MURDER Lillian White disappeared at Nyack, N. Y. Two boys, picking wild flowers, found a skeleton, its skull battered in. Scientific detectives reconstructed the victim’s head by shaping plaster over -the skull, mathe-|contest matically restoring the face as it looked in life with muscles and skin over the bones.

J. Bryan. IMPORTANT Today’s most important news is that the rail- roads are moving as many cars of freight as dur- ling the great business boom of 1919. It is a remarkable showing, for the coal strike has reduced freight movement 110,000 cars a week. If coal shipments were uninterrupted now, as they were in 1919, freight traffic would be more than a seventh bigger than during the boom. It is important news, mighty encouraging, for freight loadings show how much is being produced, how much sold. Prosperity is returning in the humble boxcar: BRAINS The cave man had jaws like a gorilla, for crack- ing bones and masticating tough meat. His brains were in his stomach. He had almost no forehead. It grew higher as man began to think. On the other side, many a big skull has noth- ing in it. These are exceptions. Place your bets on the big skulls. Cuvier, great French natural- ist who died 90 years ago, had a brain weighing 64 ounces, against present-day American average of 50. - BEAUTY: wo Next time you are near a big museunt, espacially the American Museum of ‘Natural History. in New York, be sure to see the reconstructed skulls of primitive men. Instantly it will Strike you that modern man, compared with his ancestors, is like beauty along- side the beast. eet Man is losing his ferocious head:as he loses his ferocious disposition. Progress is’ ¢ertain, if slow, and the primeval skulls prove it. THEFT A young fellow held up a New Yorker and found nothing of value on his victim except half a pack- age of cigarets. He took the cigarets. Now he is in jail, facing a maximum punish- ment of 50 years’ imprisonment.

They are presented’ here in order that our readers may have both sides of important issues which are being in the press of the day. LET’S PAY THE PRESIDENT FOR ENTERTAINING The president can use his $25,000 traveling ac- count for “official entertainment.” So congress has: decreed. Sometimes we think a president ought to be paid for entertaining instead of paying for the entertainment. For consider what little liberty he has in the choice of guests. A bore of puresi ray serene he must entertain whether he will or no. He must extend the glad hand to many a ‘person to whom he would like to extend the pres- \idential boot. : But, come to think of it, is the president the lone to be paid? He gets some political advantage out of these political fleshpots. His wife gets none. Maybe she’s just dying to go to the Metropolitan or the Palace that evening and there she has to stay at home being pleasant to some squash head. whom she’d like ‘to flatten lout with the presidential skillet. Anyhow, the president ouht to be allowed to luse some part of the-$25,000 for the bore’s head he sees looming before him at the feast. But we bet Congressman Blanton roared.— Dallas Times-Herald. ; « tor ; tikes a wl i McCUMBER ‘Oi FRAZIER The News will publish, beginning this ‘issue, a |series of articles presenting the reasons why Sen- jater McCumber should be reelected as deduced from his senatorial record and the importance of the chairmanship of the senate finance commit- tee to the state of North Dakota. . Those of us who voted to recall Frazier from the governorship can hardly support him for the U. S. Senate. We recalled him because we had no faith in him and it would be to laugh at ourselves were we to say inow that while he wasn’t fit for the governor- ship he is the man we want in the senate. The |News holds that the mistake was made at James- town. A senatorial candidate should have been jendorsed at the republican convention held there. The fact that this was not done, when there were so many aspirants for the endorsement who stand well with the I. V. A., would indicate that the weight of anti-nonpartisan sentiment in the state is for the re-election of Senator McCumber. The News was opposed to the endorsement of Mc- Cumber by the convention, but we would much rather have seen him endorsed than to have ithe pesent situation confronting us. The is between McCumber and Frazier. The other republican candidates count only to the extent that they can detract from the McCumber vote to Frazier’s advantage.
