CHILDHOOD AS THEME
FOR MAY-DAY SERVICE.
A triple celebration symbolizing
various phases of childhood is being
planned for the approaching May
Day, with the participation centering
in a children’s musical program. It
happens that May Day 1s not only
National Child Health Day but the
opening day of National Music Week
and the closing day of Children’s
week. It was with these observances
in mind that the American Child
Health Association asked the Nation-
21 Music Week Committee to colla-
borate with it in preparing this mus-
ical program, “The Message of May.”
The result of that Collaboration is
in the form of a brief musical pro-
gram or service suitable not only for
Sunday Schools but for secular groups
of young people. It is therefore be-
ing recommended for use not only by
the Federal Council of Churches but
by the various national organizations
making contact with young people
such as the ¥. M. C. A, Girl Scouts,
Camp Fire Girls, Girl Reserves and
by the local Child Health committees
in the various cities. One of the or-
ganizations interested in the program
is in the International Council for Re-
ligious Education, which is sponsor-
ing Children’s Week. That Council’s
state chairmen on children’s work are
acquainting their local groups with
«The Message of May.” In this way
the presentations of the program will
cover the fields of music, health and
religion, as applied to childhood.
A supplement to the printed ver-
sion of “The Message of May” has
now been issued by the National Mu-
sic Week Committee, in the form of
a word slip of the final number, “The
Songs of All Childhood,” prepared in
order that entire assemblages may
sing the finale. Sample copies of the
program and of the word slip are be-
ing distributed by the various organi-
zations interested. They may also be
obtained without charge from the Na-
tional Music Week Committee, 45
West 45th Street, New York, New
York. The complete printed program
includes the music of three of the
numbers in the pageant-like perform-
ance and also the spoken text and
suggestions for performance and cos-
tuming.
America’s composers of church
music are to be given special recog-
nition on the opening day of National
Music Week, May 1. In accordance
with the suggestions of the National
Music Week Committee, the churches
are to offer special services of music
composed by Americans including an-
thems and vocal solos, organ pieces
and hymns with musical settings by
‘Americans. Effective additions to
the repertoire of anthems and organ
solos are found in the latest issues
of leading publishers. A representa-
tive list of “Twenty American Hymn
Tunes,” together with notes as to the
various texts to which they are sung
and thumb-nail biographies of the
composers, is to be obtained without
charge from the National Music Week
Committee, 45 West 45th Street, New
York, N. Y.

Elimination of Racuous Noises.
An appeal to motorists generally to
aid in the elimination of senseless
noises and to take the racuous notes
out of those that seem relatively use-
ful, has been made by Charles M.
Hayes, president of the Chicago Mo-
tor club. While the automobile has
brought innumerable blessings, Mr.
Hayes points out, it also has brought
innumberable noises that should be
eliminated.
“Every motorist is compelled to use
the horn on his car. It is a vital bit
of equipment,” says Mr. Hayes.
“However, there is an intelligent
standard in this aspect of driving that
every motorist can try to reach.
“A movement has been launched by
the American Automobile association,
with which this club is affiliated,
toward the elimination of useless
noises by automobile owners and the
arguments advanced are soundly based
on facts. Certain classes of motorists
entirely through thoughtlessness, of
course, never find themselves in any
sort of traffic predicament that their
first thought is not for the horn but-
ton.
“When approaching a street mter-
section, regardless of the fact that
the pedestrian has the right of way,
they resort to the horn in a seeming
attempt to blast the walker out of his
legal right.
“There are dozens of times when
use of the horn is absolutely impera-
tive. When passing another vehicle,
one is legally compelled to give a
warning. A warning is enough. Still,
thousands of motorists are not satis-
fied with a mere warning.
“Rounding curves, usually calis for
the use of the horn. Here is another
case when there is a reasonable limit
to the use of it. A signal is a signal
only so long as it does not become
acutely annoying to the person whose
attention one is trying to attract.
After that, too often, it becomes a
distinct challenge, One of the most
annoying of noises is that created by
the motorist who wants to attract the
attention of some one inside a build-
ing. Use the horn, but use it intelli-
gently.”
Makes the Old Car New.
In spite of the development of the
lacquer finishes, the hood still seems
to be the part of the car that weath-
ers most rapidly. This weathering,
of course, does not compare with that
of a few years ago when paint, varnish
and baked enamel held sway. The
motorist who would have his old car
given a better appearance will find it
relatively inexpensive to have the hood
refinished. As to matching the re-
mainder of the finish which may have
become a new color under the effects
of the elements, it will be found ex-
ceedingly simple.
OLD RECORDS THAT
TELL OF AIRPLANE
Revelations in Ancient Irish
Manuscript.
Some of the most thrilling results
which have been brought to light in
the deciphering of ancient manu-
scripts in the various libraries of Eu-
rope, Great Britain, and Ireland are
those which contain romantic stories
which indicate a foreshadowing of
discoveries which we look upon as al-
together the result of material devel-
opment pertaining to the present era,
says a writer in the Christian Science
Monitor.
One of the most curious of these is
the tale of the appearance of an alir-
plane, the account of which was writ-
ten between the years 944 and 956 A.
D., in the reign of an Irish king
named Congalach, The authenticity
of the date of the manuscript is be-
vond question, and the description ie
as follows: :
Congalach reigned in Meath, and
was evidently given to farming pur-
suits, for the story goes on to tell of
his one day attending a fair at a place
now called Telltown, on the Meath
blackwater, midway between the
towns of Navan and Kells. While he
was inspecting horses, for which that
county is famous, a sound in the sky
caused him, and all the people, to
look up, and they beheld a large shir
floating far above them.
It appeared to be fully equipped
with a numerous, and evidently intel-
ligent crew. After a time, in which
the people in the fair gazed in silent
wonder at the phenomenon, the huge
vessel gradually floated toward some
clouds into which it entered, and the
awe-struck crowds saw it no more.
This same story is told with slight
variations by the Norse documents
named Kongs Skuggio.
Yet another tale is told in one of
these Irish legends, in which the writ-
er prophesies that a time would come
when carriages without horses would
run through the streets of Jerusalem.
These stories are, of course, mere
legends of Imagination but it is in-
teresting to find them noted in docu-
ments of undoubted antiquity, and in
local as well as in ancient runes and
sagos; also that such shadows of the
actualities of the Twentieth century
should have emanated from the
thoughts of people in the Tenth.
It would be interesting to under-
stand the mental capacities, and the
outlook of the persons who inspired
such tales: and who thought them of
sufficient importance to have them
recorded on vellum,
Grains of Salt
Lot’s wife was turned into a pillar
of salt instantaneously. The rest of
us, according to Dr. Jean Bouchon,
eminent French surgeon, are undergo
ing the same process more gradually,
but with hardly less eventual thor-
oughness.
8alt, says the learned surgeon, is a
poison which dries up and hardens
the muscular tissues, causes &ap-
pendicitis, gastric ulcer and liver and
renal calculus, Moreover—most omi-
nous threat of all—salt hss an in-
jurious effect on the intelligence.
“hose who habitually reach for the
alt cellar before even tasting food
will read this pronouncement and
ponder. Even the layman knows that
salt has an affinity for water and
draws out the juices from animal
tissues, juices which are not replaced
by the water imbibed to quench salt-
caused thirst. In the light of that
knowledge the French dector’s theory
carries at least enough conviction
to make one thoughtful. A moderate
amount of salt is necessary to the
bodily chemistry. Too much may in-
deed be a poison.—Cleveland Plain
Dealer. :
* Vitality and Hustle
.meriean vitality: is a function,
.mathemstically ‘peaking, of thie pros-
perity and the modernity. An insuffi-
ciently nourished human being re
quires a great deal of rest.
Reduced to sn Indian diet, Amerl-
ans would be a good deal less inter-
ested than they actually are in busi
ness efficiency, uplift and the charles
ton. They would spend most of their
spare time in doxe, or in the doze’s
first cousin, meditation. But they have
enough to eat—a great deal more than
enough, in fact. They can afford to
hustle; indeed, they must hustle or
else die of plethora.
Jen and women who wash down
peefsteaks with glasses of rich,
creamy milk need to do something
pretty strenuous In order to keep
alive at all.—From “Jesting Pilate,”
by Aldous Huxley.
Time Will Remedy That
They start ‘em young out in Holly-
wood. According to reputable infor-
mations, Jackie Coogan and his dai-
‘rector had a bit of an argument re-
cently while filming the youthful star's
