It appears the national industry of castanet making is going thrcugh a crisis due chiefly to the lack of proper | b in | Yand labor which has resulted paradox: the best castanets are now made in Germany, by an emigrated It would seem simple and easy to fabricate the pairs of little instru- | ments which for numerous people have all the same sound, but it is rt. Castancts can produce any kind of expression to suit musical phras- | es if made in the right way and placed in the hands of players who know how to use them. Although some the expensive hol- low ehells are made of silver or ivory, accomplished artists generally prefer those of “granadillo” (red ebony) which render the finest ef- fects. However, other hard wood such as guaiacum, jujube tree, hox &nd black cbony serve currently too. For a long ~time, Seville, the capital of Andalusia, was the cepter | of the castanet industry controlled by renown artisans called “palil- leros.” Their champion, Francisco Bonilla, made perfect cast.nets that nobody ever cqualled. Today, there remains only one manufactucer of castanets in Seville; the “maestros” are dead and have left few initiated puplls. A set of “serious” castnets fe- male for the rizht hand and pro- ducing the high sounds, male for the left hand, and giving the low- er sounds, cost in wood, from sit to forty dollars, and in ivory from sixty to two hurdred dollars, both according to quaiity and engraving.

The chances are overwheming that parents with less than three adoles- cent children will not succeed in transmitting their hereditary traits to the next generation, the Socicty | found. Scientists, inventors and others of superior intelligence as a rule have less than three children, the report disclosed, with the result that ex- ceptional talents are often lost to the world in the second generation because the gifted parents do not as a rule have enough children to assure the succession of their char- acteristics. Prof. Koltzoff, who conducted the survey for three years, found that persons of .more thap average in- telligence and education do not re- produce their kind in the usual pro- portion. The higher the degree of education and brain developmcat, he sald, the greater is the tendency to marry late in life or not at all and to have few children. The in- heritable features of highly gifted parents in this way become wasted. , The survey disclosed that the wives of intellectuals are more ex- acting in their requirements on their husbands than are the wives of less educated men. In the matter of money, comforts and spiritual eompanionship, the wives of tal- l " v NEW BRITAIN DAILY HERALD, TUESDAY, MAY 31, 1927. ented men are found by the survey ‘to be a considerable burden on their husbands. It is suggested that this fact may explain in part why in. tellectual men marry late and have few children and why some of the most talented men do not marry at all. | City it_ems The Military Order of Lizards of | !
