Big Business A nd Art Unite In Jazz Music American Music Resem- bles Roumanian Folk Sonhgs New, York City.—Modern Amer- ican music about which there has been such bitter contention, among musical people as to its origin and right to be labeled “art” is really the legitimate folk-lore of our folk-lore of other countries and been made a target for attack simply because American business men have commercialized it, made it “big business.” This.. ig . opinion_ of Flo Hauasrflfld‘luimne .Ingeflf modern music. Miss Hauser when a child, came to this country from Jassy, Roumania, and has grown up with American mugic. She says that our modern music has the same essential characteristics as the LONDON, Dec. 29.—The tower-| Mng superstructure of commerce and credit, railroads and ships, oil wells and skyscrapers, gas works and electric plants erected on the basis of gold bullion is beginning | to prove too heavy for its founda- tion in the view of British finan- cial experts. They believe the rate of gold production is falling behind the rate of world develdpment, while the total of gold output evinces a downward trend. ‘With the nations of Europe re- turning to a gold standard, there may ensue such a scramble for the precious metal that world trade may experience disastrous reac- tions, it is pointed out. The higher world war has added story to'story: of the strueture buiit on gold sands. Geld in consequence has fluctuated in value. English financiers are looking to the United States for help in solving the problem.

From her parents, both musical, she has inherited her knowledge and love of European folk music. “The only reason jazz is ate tacked i8 just that your so very b;lxht busingss men have recog- nized the opportunity to commer- cialjze something dear to the heart of the people—their native music,” she explains. . “Jazz is Jovely and simple.

A. A. An. derson, arrived from Seward and don with trying to prevent undue fluctuation in prices and with lst. ting the big supplies of gold in the United States flow back to standard may be established on a firm foundation throughout the world. The League of Nations also has taken up the problem by request- ing its finance committee to “con- sider to what extent and in what way the League of Nations could most usefully assist in the study and solution of the problem of un- due fluctuation of the purchasing power of gold.” Stabilization of currencies so far accomplished is said to have in- creased the demand for gold, while heavy foreign lending by the Unit. ed States has resulted in more rapid distribution of monetary stocks than had been expected. A British banker recently sug- gested that much would be ac- complished if, through cooperation of countries now on a gold basis, short-time fluctuations in the value of gold could be leveled and long- time movements made so slow and smooth as to be almost innocuous to production and trade. —e—— My office . will g-l closed uatil January 2nd. i adv, DR.

Bo it {sn't surprising that the headline writers almost ran a temperature in bandling the un- usual divorce case of Spicknall vs. Spicknall; nor that the public lt- eraiiy “ate it up” and cried for mors. One reason for this was that $20,- 000 was a lot of money for any one to pay in alimeny—no matter what salary he received, The other wa$ the astonishing fact' that Quintus Spicknall's weekly pay envelope contained exactly $35 pen Collects “Twenty Grand™ Was there a fortune In the bank ‘to the credit of ‘hls modest self- effacing clerk suddenly drawn into|’ the MNmelight? If so would the beauty who sued him on a "general indignities” charge collect the full “twenty grand ?" |, There WAS; she DID! Slowly the facts in the case came to light. Quintus Spicknall's story was the usual one in fiction and the rare one in real life, ot the clerk who buys a few shares of stock on a “tip” and watches them skyrocket in value until he ia treading the rosy thoroughtare known as “Easy Btreet” Several yearp ag0 he pur- chased 100 shares im the company for which he worked, a concern the stock of which s mow quoted at $1,500 a shara.
