These indicate that (as of November 1) 1.614 cities and towns participated fit the ob servance last May. This is con trasted with the first national celebration, in which 7 SO towns participated. This remarkable growth has ' been effected not by sensational methods, but a quiet promulgation of the Music Week idea and a co-operation with local observances on the part of tha Na tional Music Week Committee. Previous to the synchronisation of the various local Music Weeks, only 150 cities or towns had ever uviu m iuuoiv t , c: a. . a uv Diauitaa growth of the movement is shown by the following figures as to community-wide and partial ob servances of - National Music Week: 1924 452 Community-wide S2S Partial 780 Total 676. Community-wide 552 Partial 1925 1.228 Total 671 Community-wide 726 Partial 192S 1,297 Total 869 Community-wide 745 Partial 1927 1,614 Total A reading between the lines of the above figures, as compared with the 150 participating com munities before 1924, shows the Impetus given to the movement by the feeling of pride on the part of the various towns in that they were participating in a simultane ous national festival. Even where local conditions made it somewhat of a hardship for a community to adopt the national date, the week beginning on the first Sunday In May, such towns have felt well re paid for falling in line with the national plans. Not only in numbers, but geo graphically have the Music Week observances made a remarkable spread. The celebration is now carried out not only in all of our states, but in our territorial de pendencies such as Hawaii, the Philippines, Alaska and the Virgin Islands. The Governors of those territories have now Joined the Governors of the various states on the Honorary Committee for Na tional Music Week. The move ment has also been adopted In Canada and South Africa. , There has been a rivalry among the different states for leadership in the different states for leader- shin In the number of Music Weeks. Pennsylvania has held the lead for several years, bnt Texas Is catching up on her, their respec tive figures for the last observance being 1SS and IIS communities. Illinois Is approaching these lead ers with 9 S participating towns. In general, such leadership is due not only to the size of the states. but to energetic state-wide Music week promotion within the states.

(AP) Big game hunters the world over have offered to co-operate in erecting a monument at the spot where William C. Judd, African sportsman, was killed by an in furiated bull elephant in one of the most thrilling Jungle fights ever recorded In the dark conti nent. Judd was gored to death by the the mighty animal while hunting with his son Jack, who finally placed the fatal shot which brought the beast down. In all eleven shots were fired. The fa mous hunter met his fate in rlade in the Kenya bush near Mtelto Andei. The tragedy occurred Just prior to the arrival of George Eastman the kodak manufacturer of Ro chester, N.

Toung Judd was knocked down by tha elephant's trunk in the charge of the animal which also brought his father to the ground. "The elephant ran right over ma," Jack Judd said in describing tha fight. "When I regained my feet the beast already had my father in his trunk. The animal then dropped my father while he continued pummelling him with his trunk." Young Judd fired two shots which took effect. This aroused the elephant afresh and he charged the young man.

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) Me morial Shrine, major building of Indiana's 114,000.000 world war memorial plaza, is close to com pletion. Above its great wide base, with hundreds of steps leading up to tha shrine itself, which looms high in the sky, the structure maybe seen for a great distance on a clear day. It is located virtually in the center of Indianapolis. It wilt be 19Z3 before the great plaxa, five blocks long a block wide, la completed. The Ameri can Legion building, one of the nit of three structures planned for the plaxa. has been in use for some time. It. cost 1450.000 and houses the national headquarters of the Legion. The memorial will cost $2,000,- 090. Tha tower will be a shrine to fbxg. with ceilings 100 feet high. In the base of the building will be spacious meeting rooms for patriotic organizations and an au ditorium. Battle flags of Indiana will be housed, on that floor and In the basement. The third unit of the plaxa will be a companion structure to the Legion building. Construction of it will not be started until the shrtne is finished. The Indiana world war memor ial was created by n act of the state legislature in 1920. The state provided three of the city blocks for the plaxa and funds for the construction of the buildings. Marion county (Indianapolis) presented the memorial with one -Jty block. It will be cleared this year and laid out as an open plasa, with an obelisk 9 5 feet high in its center. Hard en's Quest Vain For Chat With Kaiser BERLIN (AP). After having carried on his relentless editorial warfare against William II for many years, the late Maximilian Harden towards the end of the world war thought the time had come for a heart to heact talk with the Kaiser with the object of finding a way to avoid the ultl mate disaster to the German fa t norland. On October 16, 1918 Harden tel egraphed the Kaiser at the latter's headquarters : "My conscience urges me to request an interview at the earliest possible. As every hour now is fateful, I neither fear a refusal nor the imputation of be ing considered presumptious and shall hold to account that official who supresses this request." Harden received the curt offi cial reply that though the Kaiser had taken cognizance of his dis- patcn, nis majeBty was not in a position to grant the desired In terview, but that the chief of the Imperial cabinet had been instruc ted to receive any information Herr Harden might have to con vey for transmission to his maj esty.

The following words appear in his official letter of filing. dated on Thursday, the 16th: "Sam A. Kozer, Secretary of State: I, Levi T.

(AP)- No teacher ever lived who could teach children alone Even Mark Hopkins, his log and his body lacked as an educational institution unless both Mark and the boy had the sympathetic un derstandlng of those to whom that boy belonged his dad and his mother. Without dads and mothers who understand, schools hist can't be one hundred per cent efficient "When people understand what you are trying to do. when they sympathize with it, and cooperate with you In getting it done right then you have the thing called 'good will.' Business concerns pay for It fabulous sums. Every body wants it. It is a priceless commodity in this age of working together. "America ha 25,000,000 boys and girls in school. About 750,000 teachers are trying to teach them. It's a Job to teach that many boys and girls. I doubt if that number of teachers can properly teach that many boys and girls alone. "Normally 25,000,000 children would have 50,000,000 fathers and mothers. If those fathers and mothers could have a sympathetic understanding of their job of mak ing boys and girls into educated men and women; if they could co operate by doing their share in their task. 57,250,000 teachers might do the job as it should be done. The good will of fifty mlllon people Is a tremendous force. I believe that public schools need that more than anything else in the wr7ld. What is more. I be-i Iieve tat prMin schools can have this good will by Just going after It. As I have indicated, good will consists of three elements: sym pathy, understanding and coopera tion.

E Slogan "More Music Home Sing, Play and Be Happy" Adopted At With the slogan, "More Musi at Home Sing, play and be happy," a feature will be made of family music-making in the Na tional Music week on May 6-12. In the larger towns a "Home Night" during the Music Week is being ' suggested for general ob servance. In the rural sections the plan may be adjusted to the local conditions by making much of the Music week observance con sist of informal musical occasions in the various homes. The objec tive behind these proposals Is in dicated by a pamphlet entitled "Home Night in National Music Week," which has the sub-title, "And Music Night in the Home Every Week," This pamphlet Is to be obtained without charge from the National Music Week commit tee, 45" West 45th St.. New York City. The purpose of these home programs and of the entire Music Week movement is that to a great- or extent every week may be Mu sic Week throughout the county. Among the activities suggested for Music Week In the home are group singing, family instrumental ensembles, the learning of new in struments, the Inviting of neigh bors to listening hours over the radio, the Interchange of records for special phonograph programs. musical games, simplified music memory corneals, ine toy sym phony of rhythm orchestra, a check up on the condition of the musical instruments in the home and a linking of the parents with their children's music study. Spe cial plans described in the book let are those for a home sing by radio and for programs in - the homes by rotating groups of local talent. The leaflet contains bib liography of material that will help rural families to carry out any of these activities. During the coming Music Week a feature Is to be made of American music As applied to rural sections, this cans especially for the use of Amerlcsn hymns and our songs of the people. Interesting material on these is found in "Hymns Com posed by Americans' and "Stories of America's Songs," to be ob tained without charge from the National Music Week committee THUGS PEAR WET FLEET UBTKU1T, MICh.

The Editor. The first public celebration ut the birthday of George Washing ton took place In New York in 1784, at which occasion a speui song was sung in honor of thi father of his country. The first atanza was: Americans, rejoice. While songs employ the voico; The thirteen stripes display . Let trumpets sound. In flags and streamers gay; "Its Washington's birthday; Let joy abound. That was on his fifty-second birthday, at the close of the war for American independence. Orm hundred forty-three birthday an niversaries have followed and with each succeeding year the glory of he day grows brighter in the ap preciation of all liberty loving neople of the earth. No year lu4 passed by when greater reasons ;xlated than this particular year for a clear perception of the prin ciples for which he commanded the patriotic armies of the col onists. It was Guizot who first said of him, "Washington did the two jreatest things it is permitted to man to attempt. He maintained by peace the Independence of his -ountry which he had conquered by war. He founded a free gov; ernment in the name of the prin ciples of order and by re-establishing their sway." It is a rare thing in the most iistant western stste, called by tha name of Washington, to find ord inal copies of books that were written in praise of the first American during his life or at t lie time of his death. However, It i my happy privilege to own a few rare volumes of that period and they assist greatly In ascertaining the estimate of his contempo raries. There is a small leather-bound volume before me that was prin ted In 1789 written in praise of Washington and the patriots of colonial days. It bears the title: "Poems by Col. David Humphr!, late aide-de-camp to his Excel ency General Washington." The author Is deserving of better re cognition than Is shown him for his genius in literature, as well as at arms. He, for some time, was given private apartments at Mount Vernon and had access to the state papers and the many re sources of that famous seat of patriotism. He had the highest esteem of Washington. His fine production "An address to the Armies of the United States," met with favor and was soon translated Into French. It would not be surprising If soma stray copies were found and used to cheer our boys at the front in the late war, In the great country of LaFayette. What a thrill would result If the words of Washing ton's days were more clearly heard today by the peoples now waging their peaceful contests fur world liberty. The following i worthy of today: Yet still. Columbus, see that choice remains. Ignoble bondage, and inglorious -- chains, Or all the Joys which liberty cm tire. For which you dare to die. or wish to live. On tho drawn sword, your ooun- try's fate depends; Your wives, your children, par ents, brothers, friends. Hang on the issue of the arduous strife. ,r ' The seqnal and even more po pular poem was, "The Happiness of America," and it is the most ambitious of the author's lines, a sample of which runs: How long, Columbus dear! will . - ys complain.
