Lamely through American as sistance. Roeco declares, it will he possible eventually to accommo date 20.000.ofio more inhabitants within Italy's present boundaries in continental Europe, thereby al leviating the gravity of nn. of the nation's most acute problems which the Imce summed up re cently in the sentence: "Italy must expand or suffocate." "The American dollars which are now pouring into our country in the form of long-term loans to industry," the Minister of Justice says, "are soldiers in the cause of peace since they relieve ns from the pressure of over-population. With this api;'l vc are beginning seriously to accomplish utilization of our scanty natural resources. At the same time American indus try is giving us lessons in the ap plication of scientific methods to production problems. This, in a -ou n try like ours, is a question of life or death. Naturally we have to work harder than other nations to achieve normal prosperity, and we hope we can do so peacear.lv." A similar view of aid from the I'nited States has been expressed by Minister of National Economy Relluzzo. in wfiose opinion Italian industrial organization must te based entirely upon lessons from America, particularly in reducing costs to undersell foreign competi tors in the world market. American loans to hydraulic companies in Italy, it is pointed out, have already reduced the cost of power to the lowest level in the world and are quickly reducing the need for coal importation. The use of American agricultural machin ery and the application of Ameri can methods have contributed like wise to diminish grain imports, while American ideas of factory management, particularly in re gard to mass production.-are being spread widely in the industrial sec- f Continued on P 4.)

The ceremony took place at Oyster Bay on tbe grounds of the Bird Sanctuary owned and maintained by the Na tional Association of Audubon So cieties. Adjoining it is the little cemetery where President Roose velt lies buried. j In his address Dr. T. Gilbert Pearson, president of the Audubon association, said. "We are hero today for the unique purpose, of unveiling a memorial to a former president of the I'nited States be cause he was a lover of wild hirdH. While occupying the position of president, at the suggestion by the Audubon society, be created by executive order various federal bird reservations where the wild denizens of sea or land might for all time find sanctuary. "When, therefore, in the year 1919 Theodore Roosevelt passed away it seemed to some of us most fitting that the National Associa tion of Audubon Societies for the Protection of Wild'Uirds aJid Ani mals should as a slight testimonial erect some tangible memorial to the great friend , of the cause which we espouse. , "The gifts of more than two thousand of our members and friends made possible the erection of this fountain, the conception of the form and the execution of which was wrought by the mind and the hands of one of America's most beloved sculptors, Bessie Potter Vonnolu In its composi tion the fountain is designed to represent the relation of children to the living birds in both of which Theodore Roosevelt ever held such U deep and abiding in terest. In the figure the girl is seen providing;. vater for the birds in summer while the little boy at her feet holds a tray with which to furnish birds with food in "win ter." Dr. Frank M. Chapman, the well-known ornithologist, said in part: "Theodore Roosevelt was born with a bird in his heart and it an$ to him throughout his life. As. a boy its voice appealed to him so strongly that at one time he determined to become an ornith ologist. At the age of 14 a 'Roose velt Museum of Natural History' was established.

CONTEST ON I E Interest of Young People in Instrument Stimulated by Competitions An innovation among America's meUigdsj-stimulating interest in the piano is the city-wide piano playing contest, which has spread widely during the present season. Added to the group piano teach ing in the schools, this new de parture has done "much to increase the number of young performers on the instrument. So marked has been the success .of the plan that a pamphlet on "Piano" Play ing Contests" has been issued by the National Bureau for the Ad vancement of Music from its head quarters, 45 West 45th Street, New York City. That pamphlet, which is being distributed without charge, tells of the development of the contest, first, in Detroit, and later in such cities as- Chicago, San Francisco, Milwaukee, Rochester and Colnm us. Many other cities equally im portant are either actively at work on their own plans or taking the matter under serious considera tion, among them Philadelphia, Baltimore, Los Angeles. Cleve land, Pittsburgh. Indianapolis, Richmond, Davenport, Denver and Omaha. In the cities where the plan has already been carried out, it has been sponsored by a leading newspaper, with the cooperation! of the music trade. ! In issuing it3 handbook on the contests, the National Bureau makes the following recommenda-i tion: "The piano playing contests will probably be conducted in the different cities and towns with a varying degree of educational benefit,; and the National Bureau j recommends that the music teach-j ers, schools and public spirited , organizations take an active part for the purpose of increasing that benefit, and become an active fac-1 tor In making the results success ful from the children's viewpoint, which is their real Interest in the contests." - After narrating the leading fea tures of the recent contests, the pamphlet takes up the various co operating forces whose aid is de sirable, such as school systems, music clubs, women's clubs and the parent-teacher associations. It then describes the advantages of publicity for music that coma through the sponsoring of the contest by the interested newspa per. The subject of contest mu sic is taken up with a view to edu cational progress through the fu ture contests. The remainder of the pamphlet " is devoted to re ports from" the cities where, the plan has been carried out success? fully, . each with copious illustra tions. "r :" ' PREFER. HE-MEN LONDON.
