Dash to Cuba Recalled, The famous exploit which made the Oregon spoken, of with affection In every American home was her 14,500 mile dash for Cuba.

Manager of Music Industries Cham ber of Commerce Ad vances Theory. SEATTLE, Wash.. April 27. (Special.) That a cure for the unrest among the people of the nation and a safeguard against the spread of bolshevism lies In educating the people of tne unitea States musically, was the opinion ex pressed by George W. Pound, general counsel and manager of the Music In- dustrie Chamber of Commerce of the United States, at a meeting of the mu sic dealers of western Washington held in the Masonic club of the Arcade last night. Music makes better citizens, happier. brighter homes, more contented men and women and more substantial sons and daughters." Mr. Pound said. "We must convert America to the ways of music and make it not only the great est musical Instrument manufacturing country of the world, but the most music-loving country In the universe. Too much is taught with the eye In our present age, and far too little with the ear. Truer words were never spoken than music hath charms to soothe the sav age beast. Bolshevism represents ig norance, music culture. Kaise the standards of bolshevists by the agency of music and you will eventually stamp it out." Because of his faith in what music could do for the country, Mr. Pound carried on a campaign in Washington, D. C, to see that music was carried to the soldier. Regimental bands were in creased from 28 to 60 as a result of these efforts, and musical instruments were sent to all the army camps in the United States and overseas. Two thou sand trench pianos, of a special make. were taken into the trenches in France. The men were brought together to sing. PLANES TO HUNT WHALES Suggestion of Station Manager Is Declared Feasible. ABERDEEN, Wash., April 27. (Spe cial.) Catching whales by means of airplanes, a suggestion made a short time ago by Victor Street, former whaling station manager, but regarded as chimerical, is not to be ecoffed at according to George Le Marquard, present manager of the Bay City sta tion. Captain Marquard says the airplane will be valuable in locating schools of whales and notifying the hunting ships, rather than killing the whales with airplane guns. In the early part of the season, says the captain, 'it is difficult to locate whale schools. With an airplane wire less, he says, much better results could be gained than by whalers.
