Authority for the forecast is no less an individual than Irving Berlin, not- ed song writer, who is chargeable as much as anyone with developing a taste for non-singable music. It may be an unfair charge, but those who claim to know are frank in asserting that prohibition caused America's retreat from popular vocal music just as they credit the return of beer with paving the way for a reviv- al. In the old days, it will be recalled, nearly every one could sing, or was willing to try, and it was no trick at be served. The congressmen and sen- ators were. In fact, numerous edi- torial references were made to that}. lobby. Some unsavory things may be in- ferred from this and there is always the further fact that it was, after all, @ lame-duck congress. The Next Big Business Because of the advance of techno- logical unemployment and in machine design and operation, one of the urg- ent needs of this country has keen, for some time, a new industry. To fill the need for employment, displaced by other developments, it had to be a big industry and one manufacturing a product for which there would be widespread demand. Some observers now feel that this development is on the way, if it has not already arrived, in the form of air conditioning for homes and build- ings. Historically, of course, the industry is not a new one. As long as 15 years ago theaters and other public places were advertising air-conditioning and assuring prospective patrons that it was “20 degrees cooler inside.” But those machines were too large and too expensive for home use and the demand for them was limited. It was a specialized industry with a lim- ited clientele. New developments have made these machines a possibility for every home. Several different designs have been adopted by competing firms and they are beginning to push their product with advertising campaigns. As effi- ciency in design and manufacture increased, prices were dropped and the day may not be far distant when every home will be equipped with such devices. The opportunity is there, for seek- ing comfort in his living quarters has long been one of man’s ruling pas- sions. Many can remember when the home with a furnace was ultra-mod- ern. Today furnaces are common. Numerous other important articles of all to get up a quartet or chorus on short notice. The boys might flat their top notes a little and the key was always a matter of opinion, but they were willing to try. The spirit of song ruled in their hearts. ‘Then along came the new type of music and it was promptly embraced by a hysteria-ridden and jazz-mad world. Singing became a public rath- er than a personal matter. Folks would go to hear others sing but they were diffident about trying it them- selves. The tunes just didn’t lend themselves to personal interpretation. Here and there singing groups per- sisted but they were generally neg- lected. No one could sing the “new stuff.” It is a fair question to ask who possibly could? We had singers and “artists” who crooned or talked their songs but few robust amateurs who sang because they liked to sing. Then, too, circumstances were dif- ferent. Even a group of enthusiasts often found the occasion unpropitious. Speak-easy owners frowned on “Sweet Adeline” and other old favorites be- cause they were liable to attract too much attention to “the joint.” One couldn’t ruffle mine hosts feelings that way, even ¥f the musical muse did appear on the scene. But legal beer produces a new tem- po. The um-te-um-tum of jazz at its worst, fit accompaniment to dancing and cocktails, gives way to a slower and more sedate mood. He who wishes to do so may sing, either his favorite ballad or that rousing old song about a “stein on the table and ® good song ringing clear.” Editors and Congressmen At the request of the Philippine- American Chamber of Commerce a ‘New York research organization re- cently made a study of editorial ex- Pressions by American newspapers on the Filipino Independence Act. What it found was surprising. ‘As a background it should be re- membered that this statute was Passed at the lame-duck session of. the last congress, vetoed by President Hoover and passed over his veto, Whether it becomes effective or not depends upon action by the Filipino legislature in accepting its provisions. Despite the overwhelming support given the bill by the lame ducks, the press of the country is shown to be pretty solidly against it. Their rea- sons, as expressed editorially, run all the way-from an altruistic view of our obligations to our brown brothers, to the hard-boiled position that it is Poor business, with all shades of opinion in between. All told, 246 major newspapers ex- pressed themselves on the question and of this number only 38 were for the ‘bill while 208 were against it. The combined circulation of the sup- porting publications was 3,426,973 and of the 208 “forhinsters” 17,226,072. The count of minor publications showed approximately the same ratio. If congress spoke for the people as @ whole the nation’s editorial writers were far out of step with that senti- ment. The question then, is were they out of step and, if so, to what extent. home equipment have taken the same course of limited use followed by widespread acceptance. The trick of the new equipment is that it makes the heating plant do double duty. The same devices which heat the home in winter will be made to keep it cool in summer. Cupid Falling Down Meeting in Chicago recently, men interested in the home-building busi- ness lamented, “If we could only have @ boom in marriages we could return to normal times immediately.” Charts were presented showing that Dan Cupid is falling down miserably on the job. St. Louis alone, the build- ers were informed, is 20,000 “off” its usual rate on its marriage statistics. Any number of things could be de- duced from this situation and any number of questions could be asked. The real nub of the matter, of course, is why young folks aren’t Staging the parade to the altar in the same numbers as of old. Is mar- tiage becoming unfashionable or do some folks look upon it as a rather quaint custom? : Is the age-old sex instinct losing its force as a result of the machine age or is it simply that young men are unable to make enough to sup- Port themselves and a wife too. To say the least it is an interesting phenomenon and one which may have far-reaching social consequences if it is carried to greater extremes.

A mere mother writes: “My little boy was left handed and wrote very well until he en- tered tle second grade and the teacher made him change to right-handedness. He has fallen off in all his studies except arith- metic, and does not seem to be able to concentrate on anything.” The most difficult patient to treat is a young doctor in the first flush of success in practice. He has enough knowledge to take a hand in the case, but not yet enough wisdom to leave it entirely to the physician in at- tendance. One of the most difficult persons to educate is the young school teacher in the first flush of success in her profession, say after she has been teaching a few years. Teachers and educators generally have always deferred to the opinion or advice of the physician where any question of illness is concerned. A request or a certificate from the phy- sician is always respected. But here is a condition which edu- cators have long regarded as belong- ing within their exclusive province. Teachers from away back have pounced on the left-handed child the instant the unhappy youngster be- trayed his intolerable abnormality and imposed upon him an unnatural right- handedness, regardless of the cost. Why have the educators done this? Oh, nobody knows. It’s just an old §} custom. parents) hand, can we prove that it is injurious in any way to force the naturally left-handed child to change to artificial right-handed- ness? We can’t.

Teacher Is Right In my economics period the teacher stated that in a fatigued person some kind of poison is produced by the tired muscles, and if this poison be in- jected into the vein of another per- son it will cause the person to be- come fatigued. ... (C. L.) - Answer—All I know is what I read in the standard Textbook on Physiol- ogy (Howell), which says that muscle energy is obtained by oxidation of glycogen and that lactic acid,-one of the products of this oxidation, accu- mulating in and about the muscle, is concerned in the production of fa- tigue. A German physiologist, Wei- chardt, is quoted as believing that a toxin is produced by muscular con- traction, and that this toxin, in the’ serum of the animal, produces char- acteristic effects of fatigue if injected into a normal animal. Measles Eight months ago my son had measles. I kept the room dark ac- cording to the doctor's orders, but ever since his eyes look weaker. If the measles weakened them should we hhaye them examined by an oculist? If so, can you recommend a.good one. (Mrs. P. P.) Answer—That’s a quaint practice, keeping the room darkened when the patient has measles, Any such ill- ness may leave the eyesight temp- ordrily weakened. It would be well an oculist.

IN | NEW | YORK By PAUL HARRISON New York, May 16.—In these days of cocktail drinking, and more-or-less Sex equality, and social Bohemianism in which the various circles overlap like shingles on a roof, manners are almost as changeable as modes. Go to a party on Park Avenue and you'll meet, possibly, a society bootlegger, an aviator, a bullfighter and a newly- risen musical comedy star. Go to a night club, and in the same corner with some flashy Broadwayites of du- bious antecedents you'll see a deb, a dowager and two millionaires. These things being true, Miss Alice Leone Moats, pretty and pert little social registerite of 23, decided to write a book of modern etiquette. And this she has done, with a deep curtsy to Emily Post, a flip title called “No Nice Girl Swears,” and an impressive foreword by Edna Wool- man Chase, editor of Vogue. Miss Moats’ premise is that we no longer behave like convention-fettered human beings, and that we might as well break down and admit it. She says in print that a woman may smoke at any time or in any place; that it is nothing short of excess prudery for a girl who has been out one or two years to refuse to dine alone in @ bachelor flat; that debts of 18 may to have the boy’s eyes examined by and d6 drink champagne at dinner; | ‘The Miracle’ the recent drop in the price of gaso- line is going to prove a benefit to industry and business as a whole. At first thought, it might appear that cheaper gasoline will prove a boon to the users, but when one con- siders that the present exceedingly low prices are apt to bring ruin to most of those concerns engaged in the oil industry, if long continued, there is a much different complexion to the whole affair, The medium grade of gasoline re- tails at 15.1 cents a gallon at Minot. Of this amount, there is a state tax of three cents and a federal tax of one cent a gallon that must be taken out. This leaves only 11.1 cents a gallon. The freight cost on a gallon of gasoline from the oil fields to Minot approximates five cents a gal- lon. This leaves six cents to divide among the producer, the refiner, the bulk station and the service station Operator. One must consider the overhead, such as interest in invest- ment, depreciation of plant and equip- ment, taxes, salaries and scores of other items, and the dealer who breaks even will have to be a magician. As @ matter of fact, it does not take much of a mathematician to figure out a staggering loss. And this at a time when there is @ general movement everywhere tend- ing to put industry as well as agricul- ture back on its feet. The reduction in the price of gaso- line undoubtedly was brought about to meet the competition of price cut- ters who were demoralizing business. There are price cutters in every line of business, who tend to bring prices The answer to this problem prob- ably will never be known for there is no accepted method of sifting fact from opinion in such matters except | !! by election.

It should be the aim of busi- ness to maintain fair prices so that ving wages can be paid to those who are employed. This country will never get back onto its feet until farmers are paid a decent price for their products, and until our merchants and those engaged in the great oil industry can sell their wares at a fair profit. ‘The editors, for example, were not | The gold used to make the wedding rings of Queen Mary, the Royal Prin- cess, and the Duchess of York was mined in Wales. or quite as many cases where teach- ers are permitted to hound and har- ass the unhappy left-handed young- to right-handedness viens the. pe « handed child enters schoo! evi- dently brought on stuttering and im- pommornee pairment of other faculties in a large coama number of cases does not prove any- 6 Who produced ISWIAl thing, for it is a fact that such un- the play “The toward effects fail to occur in nearly sealer?

It seemed so funny, to lock it up. It had never been locked, while mother lived. “I hope the cat stays with Mrs. Burpee all right, and don’t come running here,” Bess worried. “Vill have to get somebody to keep the garden watered till the rains start. You can’t depend on dad any more.” “Now if there’s anything I can do for any of you, just call on me!” aid the minister's wife, with a last, lingering look at Lily Lou. “Well, get in, girls,” Raymond said. Lily Lou waited two days more. “I must say you've gotten ner- vous. You never used to be fid- gety,” May said. “And I don’t un- derstand your not wanting to sing for us. That was one thing none of us would stand for when you were a kid. We couldn’t stand these ‘don’t wanner’ kids. I must say, you were always ready to sing or play then!” “It’s just because I’m so tired, and a coloratura voice is so deli- cate. To sing when you're tired—” Raymond and May exchanged glances: “What did I tell you? High hat, already!” they seemed, to say. They took her to call on Irene, who was visiting her husband’s mother, in San Francisco. us Lily Lou would hardly have known her, she was so changed. So much more attractive. Plump, laughing and happy. Lily Lou could have bit off her tongue, it was so hard to keep from telling about the bubchen, as she held Irene’s tiny girl on her lap, ran her fingers through the flaxen curls, That night she asked Raymond to make her reservations for the “I must get back,” she “I know that it seems . visit, for such a long trip, but I’ve got to get back.
