HAY FEVER CURE * INMUSIC CLAMED Other llis Can Be Remedied By Classic Melodies, Says Baltimore Violinist. 5 Bpecial Dispatch to The Star. BALTIMORE, Md, August 25.— Music was prescribed today by Franz C. Bornschein, professor of violin at the Peabody Conservatory of Music, as a cure for hay fever, and persons suffering major ailments, continued Mr. Bornschein, may find a panacea in tone and melody. Mr. Bornschein's idea of the Mtherapeuti value of musie are somewhat akin to those of William Van De Wall, Dutch musiclan, criminologist and sociologist, who last June gave a demonstration of “musical therapy” in the treatment of cases of insanity and delinquency at Spring Grove Hospital for Insane here. Mr. Bornschein himself is a hay fever victim and during the last vear has been experimen ng in his studio in_an effort to di er remedy for the malady. Each year, about August 14, he said, hay fever grips him. But he believes he has conquered it through the curative power of musical auto. suggestion. In his studio littered with finished and semi-completed manuscripts. Mr. Bornschein told of remedies for some of the more prevalent ailments. He sincerely believes in his deductions. Not only the music but the name of the selection must convey to the mind a curattve value, he said, or must in- “:‘ the mind to wander from the in- rmities. Cltes Specific Melodies. Cures bo Handel's “Damnation of Faust,” by Liszt very names of these, he enough to loosen the cause disea: The melodies will s dispel the ailment with concentrs tion upon them and the titles. Tor- ments of sunburn may be alleviated {Ly ening to Sibelius' “Finlandia.” This will picture to the mind north- ern climes and cool atmospheres. The “1812 Overture’ will also help sunburn. The swift mo- tifs of Czern locity studies will chase all imaginary ailments from the minds of hypochond Schumann's for this. Those suffering from neu- ritis, Mr. ~Bornschein said, shou listen to TLeybach's “Fifth Nocturne or the adagio movement of Dvorak's “New York Symphony.” For melan- cholia he suggested Strauss’ “Wine, Woman and Song.” or Friml's “High Jinks” The blu he said, can be chased away by Rubinstein’s * menostro,” or Sousa’s “El Capitan. Vibrations Effect Cure. The unusual receptivity of the ear {8 not quite understood by medi- cal authoriti Mr. Bornschein said. “The sensitive auditory organ r sponds to vibrations of the power of music. To the average listener jazz uses excitement, whereas to the learned pundit in music euch vibra tion “becomes a horrible irritant. Withouty giving a learned disserta- ‘tion on the vibration intensity and element of suggestion, it can be tested even by a layman to prove the curative power of music is notable. t has been found that a gray cat—and the example is provable— will awaken from its nap in apparent distress when certain high tones are sung in a room This prov. the projection of picreing _vibrational force. The same cat has been known to wander 1 through the house fol- lowing the soloist when lullaby is being sung. The cat's nervous re- ®ction has been tested by melodies on the plano, the tones of the violin, we find the general receptivity of this animal is but a crude exampie of the claim of my contention. Tests Definite. fore definite tests of the curative value of musical sound could be enumerated by many studio experi- ments. The vibrational force of music seems to have the effect upon the penses as does violet ray upon the ure of the skin. As feeling and imagination are allled and are conducive of any ming- ling of thought with sensation such «s musical tone effects, it does not require a trained psychologist to rec- ognize the curative powers of music. “To classify what can be termed ause and effect of musical vibration only simple illustrations need be glven. The average listener in an audience will feel a lingering warmth listening to a contralto voice. Re- piratory action may be quickened sk' the friction#l quality of the string tone of a violin. The deep, sonorous cello tone will induce restfulness and lead to a reverie. The blatant tang of the trumpet may pain as if experiencing a sharp knife wound. The dulcet tones of the flute will cause some temperaments to react as in the presence of drab _disaster, while other types will get from this soft tone the sensation of somnam- bulistic wandering . “The plucking of harp stringd to ¢he lay ear invites ethereal eleva- fons; to the professional musician, however, the twanging causes nausea. Along with this idiosyncracy of tone values {s the evidence of personal preference for instruments. Who these days wants to submit to the tortures of the old-fashioned melo- dion? The drawl of the organ tones not to be commercialized; its ef- fectiveness~ is purely ecclesfastical. When heard in other surroundings a ensitive listener may note the nega- tive reactions.

The everlasting snarling saxophone seems to have supplied youth and old age with a comingling of sloppy eentimentality. Musically, this is, due to the reedy reverberations. “Observations prove the average cbncert audience goes to the concert not 8o much to hear the music, but be- cause it is either physically or men- tally indisposed and seeks a panacea. This is subconscious, but true. How does music serve as a panacea to this indisposition? Glance over the audi- ence as the concert proceeds. There may be yawns, glowing conversation, utter boredom or nervous excitement, all of which are outward indications of musical reaction. But at some time during the program these same people will be calmed. 3 “A Brahms symphony may give the impression that the temperature of the hall is frigid, while others might find this same plece causing a throb- bing pulse. A dashing valse by Strauss will do more to correct the blues of the tired business man than a visit to he chiropractor. 5 e Bussy's ‘Afternoon - of the Fawn,’ with its verdant pleasantry, may induce a hay fever sufferer to, sniffie, due to suggestion of pipes! 'Flocks of Chinese Pheasants Released in Maryland Covers | Special Dispatch to The Star. BALTIMORE, August 24.—Sixteen hundred and fifty Chinese pheasants have been placed in Maryland covers since July 16, it was announced v terday at the office of the state game warden. Tt is expected 4,000 of these, birds will have been placed in forests of the state before the end of the season. This species of pheasants had been almost completely exterminated, it was sald, and has been protected by a closed season since last Leglslature. SIORE SCREEN AR TRREN I AMBUSH Dry Agents and State Police Capture Liquor Auto Near Laurel. i Special Dispatch to The Sta BALTIMORE, Md., August Maryland prohibition agents, aided by state police, today captured the first smoke-screen automobile seized in this state. It was taken on the Washington road near Laurel following several watchful days and nights of federal prohibition forces and the state con- stabulary. Ninety gallons of alleged moonshine whisky in half-gallon jars arranged in case lots were seized with the car, and two negroes who gave Washington addresses were ar- rested and brought to Baltimore. The men were held for hearing be- fore J. Frank Supplee, jr, United States commissione) names Lee Nolan and Wilbur Ritchie. Car Owned in District. The car was painted a drab color and was covered with dust. It bore Maryland license No. 137433 and Dis- trict of Columbia license No. 24312, Inquiry at the office of the state auto- mobile commissioner revealed that the Maryland license was issued to Locha Butler, 1015 Lamont street Washington. State police have been trailing the car some time, it was learned, be cause of alleged violation of speed laws. They were unable to capture it because of the smoke screen it threw out when it was chased by the motoreyele squard. Thursday night a cloud of dense white smoke poured from the exhaust in the rear stopped pursuers, By today however, road po- lice were accustomed to the habits of the strange machine, and they called prohibition agents Robert D. Ford and William P. Flinchum, director Edmund Budnitz office, their ald. Agents and police lay in wait and when the big touring hove in sight it was surrounded before it's driver could manipulate the smoke screen. It was forced to the side of the road and stopped. Stage Proctise Race. It was the first close up agents had of the vapor-throwing contraption, although on eeveral occasions they had been checkmated by cars similar- ly equipped. Returning to Baltimore it was decided to test it out, and a race was scheduled with the alleged rum running car in lead, driven by Flinchum. Ford and the prisoners trailed be- hind in the agents' car. The latter was allowed to get within ten feet of the rear of the leader when Flin- chum turned on the smoke. The pur- suing car was soon enveloped in an olly cloud and was compelled to stop. Telling_ about it afterward Ford said: “We simply had to stop be- cause we could neither eee the car ahead nor distinguish the roadbed. To have followed fast enough to catch the fleeing automobile would have en- dangered our lives and possibly the lives of others along the road Investig -tion revealed a small tank, holding about two gallons, filled with what wae thought to be crude oil mixed with Glycerine. A separate exhaust passed through the tank, and a hand pump did the rest. ‘When it was desired to throw a smoke screen the operator pumped furiously, forcing the oil in a spray through the exhaust, which was hot enough to convert the spray into a dense white cloud. A petcock on the dashboard controled the output. —_— WOULD BUY PALAGE 10 HOUSE EMBASSY By the Associated Press, BERLIN, August'25.—A suggestion that the American government pur- chase one of the Berlin palaces of former royalty for use as an Ameri- can embassy was made by United States Senator Kenneth McKellar of Tennessee, who recommends the con- solidation of various branches of the United States departments under one roof for convenience and economy. “The interests of the United States government in Berlin,” declared Sena- tor McKellar, “are many and at pre- sent scattered over various parts of the city, making it difficult to obtain information. These interests consti- tute diplomatic, consular, military, commercial, and agricultural, the agencies for the tariff commission and the treasury, and perhaps others, all working separately with virtually no connection of co-ordination. . ‘Would Increase Efficiemcy. “As all information must come through our foreign office here, these various actlvities or services should be consolidated under the direction and supervision of our ambassador and transmitted to whatever depart- ment in America such service may report. This would give infinitely greater efficiency, prevent duplication of work and above all, greatly lessen expenses. “We should buy or build an office building in all European capitals suf- ficient for every service. This build- ing should be iarge enough to house all branches of the American gov- ernment, from the embassy down. It should be surrounded with a purely American atmosphere, equipped with American furniture and conducted in American fashion.” - v Should Be American. “Such a building should be of easy ‘blown in the pollen-laden glades. To access to American business men and the man whose lumbago seems trou- | travelers and a place where they al- blesome, a ponderous work of Max Reger will cause deeper groans. A better thing for him would be to hear Oscar Strauss’ ‘My Hero,’ from ‘The Chocolate Soldier. B HOUSE BOUGHT FOR LIBRARY.' Dispateh to The Star. B NCHBURG, Va., August 25.—The Jones memorial library trustees here have purchased for $12,500 from E. E. Yoder, a residence which adjoins the library property.

The personnel of every service, as far as possible, should be American. In other words, our of- ficers, egencles and official “activities in_Berlin, London, Paris, Rome and other capitals should be distinctly representative of our government and people and not fashioned after the ways and customs of the old world. “I am not criticizing, I am merely pointing out how each forelgn activ- ity may vastly be improved and the expenses reduced.” Regarding the embassy for Berlin, Senator McKellar suggests buying a palace, because they are =0 numerous. “As Germany is a debtor of the. United States,” the senator added, “and. now has a great number of houses and palaces of royalty on hand, which have been taken over by the.| government, she would, no doubt, be willing to sell us a centrally located house. or_ palace sufficient for our needs, and have us oredit whatever the bullding might be WoIth to her account.” \ 1 They gave their | THE SUNDAY STAR, WASHINGTON, D.

CUMBERLAND, Md., August 25.— After the shooting on the Mount Sav- age road yesterday, in which Geprge Porter of Zihlman was killed and Frank Miller of Gilmore, now in & hos- pital here, was wounded; and the ex- citing scenes in Frostburg last night while the coroner’s inquest was in progress, resulting in holding Harry Martin, assistant superintendent of the Censolidation Coal Company, for the slaying of Porter, and John Walbert as an accessory, the mines were work- ing as usual today with but little dis- order. There were a few persoal clashes, it was stated, which have been almost dally {incidents of the picketing now going on. It was further stated that the Consolidation mines were working practically normal, manned by all the men needed at this time, with the light demand for coal. While the testimony was being heard by the coroner’s jury in the town hall at Frostburg last night, the streets were being overrun with ex- cited people, with the occasional fir- ing of shots, but no one was hit. An attempt was made to crowd the hall at the hearing, but State’s Attorney Fuller Barnard, jr., excluded all ex- cept the witnesses. t was while the hearing was at its height that Constable Henry E. Wagus of Midland, excitedly and bareheaded, broke into the room and told the jurors if they respected their Hves and' the town to get out of the hall quickly. This action on the part of Wagus, which caused jurors to flee from the room, was prompted by the pursuit of the mob on the out- side. Thomas Moore, who has been acting as a guard for the Consolida- tion ‘Coal Company, was with the party involved in the shooting. Moore was sighted in an automobile and the mob made an effort to get him, but he got away as a number of shots were fired through the street toward the fleeing automobile. Later the jurors returned and re- sumed the inquest. Walbert, who has a_bullet wound In the leg, is still at Western Mary- land Hospital here, under guard, but will likely be removed to the jail tomorrow. Sheriff Peter McFarland stated that Walbert told him that he accldentally shot himself while in the Consolidation Coal Company's barn.

LONDON, August 25.—Of the sev- eral thousan¥ Americans touring Eu- | rope this summer, Secretary of Labor | Davis, who Investigated immigration | conditions at their source, probably holds the record for speed and ef- ficiency in covering the continent. In a few days less than a month he whirled through the principal countries getting first-hand knowl- edge of the human materials that are | continually being cast in large quan- titles into the American melting pot. His trip was anything but a holi- day. He put aside the dignities of his cabinet position and passed up opportunities of dinfng in etate unless certain he would meet some- body at these affairs who could add something to his stock of {nforma- tion about immigration. He spent long days at work in each country and then traveled at night to the next. Seoretary Davis sald he used the reportorial method of gathering in- formation. That is, he visited the crowded districts where prospeotive immigrants live, talked to the people themselves and saw something of their living conditions, then went to the government departments and got the official views of how that par- ticular government _intended to handle its surplus population prob- em. An_example of the manner in which Mr. Davis ferretted out the real au- thoritles on immimgration from among the numerous members of American officlaldom abroad occurred in London. He arrived at midnight on a Saturday. As the Sabbath is a day of utmost quietude in the British ~capital the American reporters did not disturb the Secretary until Monday morning. One of his first inquiries of the newspaper men was as to what American officlals were the best authorities on the im migration problem. One correspond- ent suggested Consul General Skinner, adding: “He is said to be one of the best_informed officials in all Europe.” “Yes,” replied Secretary Davis, “I spent all of Sunday afternoon talking to Mr. Skinner about the problem. RUMANIAN QUEEN POWER IN EUROPE Marie Credited With Hasten- ing Recognition of Greeks by French Government. By the Associated Press. PARIS, August 26.—Court intrigues and the influence of beautiful women on the fate of nations usually are accepted as common only to the good old daye, but Queen Marle of Ru- mania {s looked upon here as a thor- oughly up-to-date power behind the throne. She is credited now twith hastening, if not actually accomplish- ing recognition of the present Greek &overnment by France. & Queen Marie came to Parls .two weeks ago, en route to the seaside for a vacation, but Incidentally saw Premler Poincare, and a week later | it was announced that the French! minister at Athens would be fully ac- credited to the governmnet, headed by King George IL She is going to | London soon, with the intention, it is sald, of 'trying to get British recognition. The Queen's interest in Greece is due to the fact that her daughter Elizabeth is queen of that country, i Marie, who 1s forty-elght years of age and described by those who know her as still wonderfully fascinating, has been busy since the armistice making the Rumanian court attrac- tive, and finding opportunities for her children to meet rulers and prospec- tive rulers of other-countries.
