JAZZ li.is lust its popularity hikI its away will wion he. at an end.
Thin is tlit; news that comes from the convention of the Sheet
-Music Dealers ' association, in Chicago. The old melodies, stirring
military marches and a few new sentimental lyrics are the best sell

The craze which Americans suddenly developed for dancing mid
singing to (lie-noise of cow bells, sandpaper, police whistles, automo
bile horns and other instruments which played so prominent a part in
the jazz orchestra is one of those mysteries of modern civilization
which must ever remain inexplicable to the music lover, although
psychologists may be able to offer an explanation. The tenseness
of modern life, one conjectures, got on the nerves of the people and
they sought relief by breiihing loose from restraint. Something of the
same sort has occurred in the other arts; in painting we find the night
mares known as neo-inipressionism, cubism and futurism; in poetry
the insane ravings put out as vers librc. They loo, will pass, as jazz
s passing.
Jazz was doomed because it rested on no orderly basis. It was so:
monstrous that it could not be written. "Smear" was the technical
term used by jazz performers to describe their method of working.
Jazz exhausted the possibilities of noise, and there is nothing left, hut
to return to melody and harmony. They are eternal, and are ade

than five years. In the days of his
reiirn in the ring,-. none -had been ills
macter and he, had retired voluntarily
with no defeats recorded against .him.
lie was 3&i years-, old an -age often
reckoned as dotage In the realm of
sport. The attempt on. his part to re
store tho championship to the white
race wan an effort to which ho had
been Induced by a const-ant clamor
from those who despaired -to Johnson
ever being beaten by the -crop -of
white hopes then seeking matches
with him.
It wns a great throng that assem
bled fur the battle, fringed nround
the great arena packed wero rows of
"birds' nests,'- built to shelter tho
sweet sisterhood from the fteno di
vorce colony. To them the fight -was
a charming break in the monotony of
serving tltme. . Jeffries trained down
to 22' pounds to meet the. sleek op
ponent three years his Junior and
then In mngnlfleent physical trim.
There was vigorous fighting at the
start, with Jeffries erouuhed into se
rious meln and his. opponent eroet;
grinning and talking as -usual. -
In the fifth round Jeffries sent ft
strav. left that rocked Johnson -and
momentarily wiped away his smile.
But the worried look on the black
face passed, bly white teeth again
gleamed and through them came- thc
admonltinn "Dont rush, Mlstnh Jeff,
donehn heah what a'hm tellln you 7";
"Come on, Jeff, it's ensy," ho re-,
prated often through the . bitter
rounds.
Age and five years of freedom from
the rigors of trnlning told on Jeffries
and the pnwor of his blows grew less
strong ns tho bnttlo went on. In the
Kith round the last one Johnson
sent him to tho ropes with n: savage
uppercut. Against the drooping head
of the weary white .man the black
fighter then pounded away .with one,
uppercut after another .
v The ehallengeiyhnd. tried and failed
and he fell taking punishment. Illsi

held up Johnson's hand in signal of
