MUSIC. WEEK ;
Beginning Sunday evening and continuing through the
week, La Grande is to celebrate national music week with, n
seines of concerts of great variety, presented by the prom
inent musical organizations and musicians of La Grande
and Baker. .
The music week idea originated with the musicians', of
Boise, Idaho, only a few ears ago. Its popularity has resulted
in almost phenomenal growth
towns throughout the nation are observing the occasion -i-"
even the great cities of the middle west and the east. j
The city of La Grande is rapidly becoming known as
an outstanding music center. Our city band has long been
recognized as one of the finest bands in the Northwest. The
High school band won second place in the state contest,
and many experienced musicians assert that it should have
ranked first.
.. .. The Normal school and High school glee clubs and or
chestras, the many church choirs and other musical groups,
and the wealth of instrumental and vocal soloists are further
leVidence of the ever increasing interest in music here in
our city. -: -
V 'And; this growing interest is due in large measure.to'
the prominence given ;to music in the schools." Students
, who receive such excellent musical training as is offered in
pur public schools naturally influence their parents, and they
greatly enrich our comriiunity life as they grow up and
take their places as adult citizens.
The Eastern Oregon music
under the auspices of the Normal school was a powerful
testimony to the value or musicji . trammer or nnr vnnno-i01
people. Musical ability and appreciation developed in youth
are much more fruitful than if allowed to lie dormant until
later life.
The fine types of music which are to be featured on next
week's programs will be well worth hearing, and will be a
distinct contribution to the development of the appreciation
of the better things of life. Music week is of real value to
the community, a rich cultural asset. "

FACTH CONFOIlNn TARIFF CRITICS
Frequent attacks arc mad on the
Hawley-Smoot tariff on the ground
that duties are so high as to exclude
Imports of many commodities. The
review of the work of the tariff com
mission published In The Sunday
Oregontan shows that when duties
are found to be above the difference
In cost of production between tills
nnd tho principal competing country,
the commission recommends and the
president orders reductions: when
duties are found to bo too low, ihey
are raised. That the commiMlon is
an effective agency for reducing rx
, cessive duties Is proved by the fact
that it recommended decreases on
seventeen commodities and increases
on only twelve, and that the value

The care taken by congress that

There's too much of this drunken
driving already. But It 1b small In
comparison to the amount of It there
will be If and when drinking of In
toxicating liquors Is legalized.
If we are going to return to beer
and booze, what about our magnifi
cent highway system and our city
thoroughfares? Will they be death
Hhambles or not?
Our prediction is that eight. 13
and 16 cylinder cars; capable of their
tremendous high speed ond drunk
en drivers will not make a safe com
bination. It Is our belief that the
return of beer and hard liquor will
drive sober persons off the high
ways Who will wish t odrlve ft car on
the highways when he Is threatened
n every hand by a drunken driver.
Wh will dare to send his children to
school, with the danger of an un
controlled car lurking at every street
crossing?
Tho return of legalized intoxicat
ing liquor will raise havoc with
motoring. It will prove to be ttfc
most mortal stab which tho auto
motive industry has ever received.
Between 1920 and 1030, automo
bile fatalities have Increased three

be when drinking shall have, be

Broad shouldered, gruff nnd hearty,
Admiral Chnse has had n notable car
eer. He has been throiiKh two wars.
Ho was still in his twenties when
the Spanish-American war broke. He
was aboard tho old U. S. 8. Newport,
which carried the original canal com
mission and a large party of surveyors
to Nicaragua, when his shin was or
dered to do blockade duty on the
northern const of Culm and ofr Ha

Years later, when the World war

of captain, he was given command of
ti-o nattieship Minncsotn,
On night In January of 1017. an
his ship was proceeding calmly off
tne coast or je:awaro to Phlladelnhla.
It struck a German mine. A hole no
feet long was torn In the Minnesota's
underwater body extending athwart-
ship rrom portside to thc keel to the
starboard armor shelf nnd protective
deck.
Ho brought thc shin Into port, how
ever, without loss of life. For this ho
was awarded the distinguished service
medal with the citation ' for except
ionally meritorious service In a duty
of great responsibility."
But you'll have to go to the navy
records to find an account of this In

like. He admits that members of his
family arc careful of what they leave
around, because they know that if
there Is any white space on It he'll
use It to sketch a gun.
Ills knowledge of ordnance has
been recognized by the navy. After
tho World war he was assigned to the
bureau of ordnance as a member of
the special board. He later served as

Till. SOLlUKRS' BONUS
AND INFLATION '
With painful realization we read
In the papers that Geneva! Dawes In
a lengthy diatribe opposed the- be
lated payment of the World War Vet
erans' Adjusted Compensation, In
such a manner as to lower htm in the
estimation of all thinking people, It
Is deplorable that ho should -so for
get himself as to make use of thn
history of tho German mark after
the war, as an argument in our case,
for he certainly must know that
such comparison Is absolutely Inap
plicable, ns the conditions are so
radically different. Germany had ab
solutely no foreign credit and was
worse than bankrupt nt the end of
the war, and the wonder is that she
wos able to maintain any flat marks
at all; bujt sho nevertheless ", sup
ported her sixty mjllllon people- for
six years nnd gained some thirty to
forty billion dollars worth of perma
nent improvements for her nation, by
eventually floating marks up into
tho quadrillions.
Wo assume that no one Is doubt
ing that the United States with an
annual creative power of nearly 100
billion and, instead of owing - any
foreign debts, a creditor for over ten
billion cannot bo compared to Ger
many After the war. We are not so
near .the end, of our resources a& nil
that, with a surplus of hoarded 'gold
In the treasury amounting to more
than two billion, on which wo can.
ond for the past ten years could
have- floated over five billions of ad
ditional currency; this is In addition
to our reserves for nil currency al
ready issued. ;
To call it Inflation to issue nn
additional two and a quarter billion
nt this time when liquid bank credits
are deflated not less than thirty' bil
lion, and with less than three bUUor'
dollars in actual circulation, J.J;h$
height of unreason. But,' whether'
it is Inflation or rcflatton. In our
present deflated condition it Is ex- j
actly what is needed and the only I
thing that wtll help our hellish con- ,
dltlon. While Mr. Dawes is a honk
er, Mr. Giannini, an outstanding
genius among bankers; the head of
tho Trnnsamerica corporation, xirges
tho payment of the bonus now, as a
very much needed, "mild inflation":
and so does every person conversant
witn tne money situation.
President Hoover has Instituted a
campaign throughout the country.
bombarding tho public for tho re
turn into circulation of about one
ond n half billions of hoarded money,
claiming that the very llfo of the
nation Is endangered unless this
money is promptly brought back to
build up liquid bank, credit. There
fore either Mr. Dawes or the presl
dent it wrong. Now, when this
noorded money cannot bo oroutrh out.
why not resort to tho greatly larger
amount now hoarded in our treasury,
waiting to be used? Is there any logic
In such talk as that of Mr. Dawes,
when the president has been edu
cating tho American people so vocif
erously to the fact that our nation
Is endangered for the lack of addi
tional money in circulation? We are
inclined to conclude that Mr. Dawes
for once lost his head in his anxiety
i" prevent cno veterans certificates
from being paid.
It Is preposterous to assume that
a mere two and a quarter billions of
additional money now brought Into
circulation would have any 111 ef
fect. The president, for once, seems
to have been fully Justified in all
his assertions reeardlne hoarded
money, but apparently he has over
looked the two billions of hoarded
gold in the treasury money which
Mellon might hovo used In the post,
and which should bo used now. for It
Is a crime to let it sleep Inactive In
tho treasury, as useless as if it were
mere dross.
By paying the 3.400.0O0 World war
veterans now what we owe them
two and a quarter billion and thus
getting it directly into general cir
culation, we have by far the best
means for a quick reaction imagin
able, And this money, on the
president's authority, will within a
year create about 25 billions of added
hank credits, thus helping to liquify
frozen assets and help the whole
economic structure enough to set us
back on the high road to normalcy.
But If we do not get this measure
enacted now the only one In sight
for general relief, and worth ten
times more than all other measures
now being considered we wonder if
there is any thinking person in our
country, knowing the condition as it
Is. who con contemplate the horrors
we are facing without a shudder of
apprehension.
It Is Imperative that new money
be brought Into circulation without
delay, and by paying the veterans
we have the most logical method for
attaining our objective. We hope
win president ana me masses will
soon wake up to see that there Is
moT tnftn one kind of hoarded money
be brought into circulation.

normally healthy child sulks or cries
or. in the parental vernacular, "acts I otherwise I-- would have been con

physical one.
So rather than expend useless en-
'ergy In worrying about the child's
j condition or nagging him about his
' conduct with: petulant commands,
I better course 18 10 consider as calmly
as possible the cause of peevishness.
"It's the limit the way my young
sters have acted today," exclaimed
a nerve-frazzled mother to her
neighbor; "they have nearly driven
me wild."
The day had been unusually hot;
one of those prematurely warm in
tervals of early spring when the air
envelops one like a warm wet blan
ket. "Mine, too, started quarreling this
morning," replied the Wiser Mother,
looking . not at all perturbed or
wrinkled of countenance, "but I Just
dropped everything and decided to
find out why they were making such
a fuss "
"Did you find the reason?" inter
rupted the One-Who-Hadn t-Pound-Out.
"Indeed. I did. They were dressed
too warmly for this kind of a day
win tier underwear, of course, for
they hadn't yet changed. The fric
tion of this warm clothing on their
skins, together with the fact that
their bodies must make this sudden
adjustment to higher temperature,
had reacted to- disturb their peace
of mind and mine too," she finish
ed Jokingly.
"Of courpf agreed the. ' first
mother, "but you couldn't change
the weather for the sake of your
children's dispositions."
"No. Just change of clothing and
certain home conditions proved suf
ficient." replied the Wiser Mother. ;
"I brought them In out of the hot
sun. read them a story while .they ;
cooled off a bit, put them In a tepid '
bath to soothe tho prickly rash, and :
gave them cool bread and milk for
their lunch. Then I dressed them in
fresh, light clothing and they played '
in their shady back yard all after-1
noon In a perfectly amiable manner."
The nervous, discouraged mother !
meditated a moment. Then she
spoke: "Mercy, though, you spent so
much time getting them settled. I
t was too busy for that. I wanted to
finish my work."

Besides the unfavorable results
from having children too heavily or
too lightly clothed or not otherwise
property prepared for weather condi
tions, there are many other points
of clothing adjustment that merit
the careful thought and attention
of mothers. -
The insidious phase of discomfort
from clothing Is that the child usual
ly is unaware of any localized pain
or any keen suffering, and hence,
even though he is old enough to talk,
does not recognize the cause of his
annoyance clearly enough to report i
it to his mother.

caused the hat to fit too closely
around the rim, but It also pushed
the barrette on her hair against a
sensitive nerve. When this hat was:

A rubber band to hold bobbed hair
In place often Is a half Insensible 1
source of annoyance, as Is the brass
pin that holds the latrbow. Hair
braided too tightly next to the head
frequently disturbs the naturally'
placid child. Often the rubber band
under tho chin to hold the hat in
place Is so narrow that it cuts into
the flesh or so tight that It inter
feres with free movements of the
head. j
Improper care of the hair and the
scalp is a frequent source of peevish
ness in a child. Any adult realizes '
how uncomfortable dandruff or scales
can become if permitted to go un
cleansed or unremoved. Displays of
temper and fretfulness are often ac
companied by clutching and scratch
ing of the head, especially In very
young children, and such actions
should not be disregarded until a
full examination has been made as
to the hair hygiene.
The superficial care of the head
and the hair has a very Important
place in making children comfortable
and keeping them good natured, to
say nothing of providing permanent
health benefits. I have no desire to
dictate hair modes, but the truth is
that short hair with no frills, bows,,
combs or barrettes is the sensible
and the only proper method of
dressing a child's hair. Any other
method Is simply a sacrifice of beauty,
for style or whim.
