24TONED OCTAVE “HUSICAL NOVELTY Ousted “Sex Prol.” Says It Makes Singing Easier Max Meyer, although ousted as head of the University of Missouri psy- chology department because of the sex questionnaire episode, will pro- duce shortly a study in music in the pame of the university. The pamphlet, ready for dstribu- tion about two months after his ousting, will tell something of Mey- er's outstanding contribution to the science of music—the quartertone harmonium. Unlike the ordinary organ of 12 tones to an octave, Meyer's harmon- jum has shades of these tones, mak- ing 24 to the octave. He cut each key of his harmonium in two, using the tips cut off as keys for tones lJowered a tempered quarter-tone, He explains that the quarter- tones were developed to make music more “singable.” He de- veloped his own staff and method of notation, “The Oriental”” Professor Meyer says, “is accustomed to split tones. An Arab, a Japanese or a Turk will have nothing of music from the western world, They say it is not real music.” Dr. Meyer spent his whole teach ing career at Missouri—29 He built the laboratories of his de- partment; gave the school a system of grading; wrote books about psy- chology and first used the word “behavior” in a psychology text- book. He is not a behaviorist, re- garding the philosophy as a fad. His laboratory is hung with signs, one of them reading: “Metaphy: fcal language and dogs are not al lowed.” Five courses in psychology were dropped when he left. Dr. Meyer's removal will take his wife from the Christian collegs faculty. She heads the modern language department in that girl's achool here. She was a co-ed from Kansas City when Dr. Meyer met her in his class. Two of their children now are in the university. "FIRST DERBY WON BY RANK OUTSIDER Mere Pacemaker Kept On fo Yictory Back in 1875 Louisville, Ky., April 12.—(P— Fifty-four years ago this May a lit- tle red horse known as Aristides #ped valiantly around a race track in this city while some 10,000 per- sons roared their hopes and delight through the sunny air. From that date, May 17, 187 #tarts the glowing tale of the Ken- tucky derby, a tale to be written in the ledger of sport for the 5ith time at Churchill Downs here May 18. And what a tale it is! Pages of heart throbs and heart breaks, of joys and sorrows, of dazzling speed and sport unequaled, In the first derby, and in many that have followed, the favorite has not always won. It seems that Aristides was not even supposed to win, As is fitting in the first running of an historic event, there is a tale of pluck and courage handed down from that first derby of 1875. It ap- pears Aristides was to be but a pawn to the ambitions of his stablemate, Chesapeake, Aristides was to set puch a dizzy pace that all oppenents would be worn down, whereupon Chesapeake was to come dashing to the front and win the race. Like the gallant racer that he was, Aristides obeyed instructions and whirled off the mile at a high gait. It was now that Chesapeake was to come up and take the lead, but no Chesapeake appeared. A story has it that Price McGrath, owner of both colts, was standing at the stretch. Grasping the sitaution, |plain the wonderful properties of | ! he waved to Jockey Lewis to urge Aristides on. The time for that memorable mile and a half was 2: and a great victory for Aristides. In the second running Vagrant, an outsider, dashed in ahead with the famed and favored Parole out of the %, a great race for such a track, | money. It was Baden Baden, a field third running to win, and thus it has been often through. the years. The derby has been a derby of upsets. For 26 years the derby distance was & mile and a half. When short- er distances gained favor, the course was shortened to a mile and a quar- ter in 1896, Spokane, another out- sider, established the fastest time for the mile and a half derby course. 2:34 1-2, in 1889, setting a track record that stood as long as the dis- tance was in vogue. To Old Rosebud. revered 1914 winner, goes the honor of fastest time for the present distance, 2:03 2-5—a record that has with- stood attacks of such immortals as Sir Barton, Behave Yourself. Mor- | vich, Zev. Black Gold, Flying Ebony. Omar Khayyam and a number of others, There are those, however, who argue that Old Rosebud won with only 114 pounds and Spokane with 118, while the present weights are 126 pounds for colts and 121 for fillies. The first race at historic | Churchill Downs was not the Ken- | tucky derby. It was a dash of a mile and a quarter won by Willlam Cot- trill's Bonaventure, ridden by a jockey named Billy Lakeland. The inaugural day was May 17, 1875, and race on the program. Now the Kentucky derby is more [ than a horse race. Kentuckians con- sider it a tribute to the country to | Kentucky and to the horse.

FALCONS PAY OFF SECOND HORTGAGE T GaleNight in History of Nest— oo 90 Initiated Last evening's regular meeting of the local nest of the Polish Nation- al Falcon alliance will go down history of that organization as one of the most memorable, as it was marked by incidents not often wit- nessed in many o:ganizations of that type. The most important feature of *he evening was the paying off of the last instaliment on the second mort- gage in the sum of $300 with inter- est on the property located at the corner of Beaver and Broad streets. Just a little over five years ago, the Falcons purchased the corner from Luke Bartlett for $18,000, at which time they pail $6,000 down and the remainder was taken out in mort- gages of $9,000 second and $3,000 first. Last evening in the presence of several hundred, the check clear- ing the second mortgage encum- brance was presented to Mr. Bart- {lett, who thanked the members and wished the organization success in its endeavors. With the paying off | of the last installment on the s ond mortgage, the only encumbrance on the property is the first mortgage for $3.000, | 90 Initiated Into Society The second important feature of | |the evening, was the initiation of 99 | |new members, the largest number | ever to join the local nest at one | {time, and one of the largest classcs [to be admitted in the eastern district | They included the former members lof the Burritt Athletic club, which | |amalgamated with the Falcon club. The oath was administered by Alex- ander Ulstowski of New Haven, | | president of the eastern district of | [the Falcon organization, who also |addressed the club and congratulat- | |ed its officers and members on the | splendid work being done by it in| this city.

Both presentations were made by Presi- dent Ulatowski, who congratulated each of the recipients and thanksd them for their endeavors in working for the interest of the national or- !ganization, Stanislaus Luter of Boston, ath! tic director of the organizafion for the castern district, addressed the gathering and encouraged the new members to take greater interest in sports and athletics.

They met when Miss Walker was studying art and Radicchi was an Italian telephone company cmploye. He followed her to this eountry and in September, 1928, they were mar- ried only to part 15 days later. She filed suit for divorce in the probate court at Dedham while he countered with two suits against her parents for alienation of affec- tions. The girl returned to Europe. Radicchi stayed on here. Miss Walker came back to her parents’ home last March and shortly thereafter met Radicchi. A reconciliation followed but the cou- ple learned with dismay that the di- vorce had already become effective. The court was appealed to, and an obliging judge this week recalled the decree. Simultaneously it was announced that Radicchi had drop- ped his suit against his wife's par- ents. Women's Silk Gloves —Smart new silk Gloves with novelty cuife.
