SHOULD "CANNED" 'MUSIC BE
THROTTLED? JVTLISS IS ASKED
"Loganite" Who Wants to Sleep Protests
Against Music Man Who Puts On
Records at One in Morning
"TF YOU -want lb do n venl favor for my community," writes n Logan cor
X respondent, "tnle n. shot nt tho man who Invites his frlonds In to colebrato
ond, after feasting nnd merry-making until midnight, turns the talking machine
on at 1 o'clock, when all respectable peonto have quieted down, and keeps It
going until tho wee small hours. Tell tw what wo can do about It. Don't you
think this la a matter for the police?"
Oh, the wall of the sleepiest ones! But does not this letter epitomize tho
evils' of community living that civilization Imposes?
Hero's a man With a talking machine doubtless a now one. Ho has Invited
his friends In to celebrate, unmindful of tho fact that the man living on the right
of him has declared recently for the "simple life and tho woman who occupies tho
premises on tno left Is a cultured musician and has a French fit at tho sound
of "canned music,"
What a situation! Supporo he yleldi and "cant" tho "canned" music In order
that tho simple lifer may snore uninterruptedly from 0 o'clock until 6 In tho
morning, when, according to the precepts of his cult, he must arise. At this hour
tho cultured musician Is also In tho habit of rising, so as to start early with her
practice. She must keep In trim, and until dewy cvo sho trills her scales.
They have a good tlmo and ho doesn't. Ho thinks of the low, Boductlvo tones
of his favorite. Alma Oluck, stilled. At this mlnuto ho might bo listening to tho
golden notes of Caruso. But If ho does tho neighbors chortle with rage. Let them
chortle. Ho's living his own llfo! Why shouldn't ho also contribute to tho neigh
borhood melee? Is tho belligerent attltudo ho takes. (
"Listen to that man playing tho violin," a friend enthused recently. "He's
Just moved In across tho street. I'd rather listen to a violin well played than any
thing else."
Three days later she sang a different tuno.
"I'll go mad," sho exclaimed, "morning, night and noon ho keeps at It. I
can't even take my nap. I cat breakfast to Mozart, dlnnor to Schubert and go to
bed to tho tuno of Massenet. Ho's a pest."
The Duke In "Twelfth Night" Is. as far as I have been able to ascertain, tho
only sano person who ever voluntarily called for an excess of music. Hut even
his sanity la open to question, slnco ho was languishing uncomfortably In tho
throes of a, sentimental passion at tho tlmo he sang out:
, "If music bo tho food of lovo, play on;
Qlvo mo excess of It, that, surfeiting,
Tho appcttto may slckon and so die."
Your average man and woman, however, has as tittle Inclination to bo killed
by music as by a skidding taxlcab. In truth, It Is quite posslblo that tho former
would be an oven more painful method of being taken off than tho latter.
Of course, tho whole problem would bo simplified If we chose our neighbor
hoods according to our hobbles. Lot all the cornctlsts rcsldo In ono community,
the piano thumpers In another, Uioso with young babies In yet another; Ilkcwlso
the simple ltfcts.
But such Is the porverslty'of humanity that I'll wager such a scheme would
not bo In operation a month before the simple lifers would bo caught sneaking
back where tho talking machines were to bo heard in action. Remove tho cause of
opposition and do you satisfy tho disgruntled persons? You do not. You merely
take away from them the thing that makes them happiest something to com
plain about.
Frankly, Logan, I don't know what you enn do about tho man with the talk
ing machine But I'm right sure you can't have him arrested. M'LISS.

A Drink Called Manna
rY MOTHER, who Is 82 years of
age. used to have a drink called
manna. No ono seems to know about It,
so I have thought you or one of your
readers could help mo out It looks like
tapioca, only pure whlto. A llttln of It,
placed In a glass Jar and covered with
water, will multiply rapidly Tho Jar will
soon bo full. The little kernels keep shoot
ing up to the top of the Jar In tho water
and seem to burst open, so for every ker
nel that goes up two go back down to the
bottom of the jar. Do you suppose It Is
the same kind of manna that fell In olden
times that the Bible speaks of? I3y mix
ing It with other Ingredients It makes a
drink quite popular years ago with Swed
ish people. I should llko to know what the
Ingredients are, as I have really forgotten.
It would make my mother happy If once
more she could have somo of this man
na, nLKA-N'On."
Answering your last query first, there
Is no reason to believe that any of the
substances now known as manna are at
all akin to the food that "lay like hoar
frost on the ground" In such quantities
that hundreds of thousands of Israelites
subsisted upon it for 40 years. It was
like coriander seed, white, and the taste
of It was like wafers made with honey;
wafers signifying thin cakes of unleav
ened bread. Modern science. In the effort
to do away with the miraculous feature
of the story, has explained that desert
storms In Arabia still tear up and carry
Uf great distances a sort of white lichen
gathered and eaten by the natives. They
also talk of the droppings of various
species of resinous trees. Let that pass I
In Sicily the manna ash Is cultivated for
the sake of the sweetish exudations
which, gathered and dried, are the manna
of commerce. In other tropical countries
similar products are sold , as food and
medicine. To this class of vegetable mat
ter belonzs the manna sold by druggists
as a laxative. None of these definitions
covers the case you describe. I am curi
ous, and readers as ignorant as I will be
glad to know what is the nature of the
rapidly germinating plant of which your
grandmother talks; will botanists and
druggists combine for our enlightenment?
Can It be a variety of the Arabian lichen
that sprouts in water and drops its germs
to spring up anew, bearing Its fruit two
fold? The tale U Interesting. Who will
define this manna for ua? The sacred
writers tell us that "man did eat angels
food in the desert," What kinship haa
this product to that?
Organizing a Sorority

asks for information respecting sororities.
I would say to her, In order to secure your

tary of State, Vou will be unable to ob

They Wear a Broad Grin
"I wonder If other Cornet Itei havo
noticed what has been a source of amused
curiosity In our family for months past?
I mean that at least 7 per cent, of tho
reproduced photographs of notables of
different classes show their teeth In what
may be disrespectfully described as "a
broad grin.' In my younger days and I
am B5 years old nobody painted grinning
portraits except as comic pictures I
have heard my mother say that whin
the American artist, Sully, painted the
portrait of Queen Victoria, the papers Bald
he "did a bold thing In showing her teeth
between tho parted lips a peculiarity of
the queen's face ' The Innovation was so
'bold' as to require an apology. Now
actresses, society queens, murderers, pick
pockets. statesmen and warriors grin
There Is no other word for It If you
doubt It, watch the papers, Including war
news and society events for yourself. A
friend who has adopted this belief, after
a week's watchfulness, suggests that tho
White House family set the fashion. Our
President has a fine set of teeth, and nine
out of ten of his published photographs
let us have a fair view of them Each ot
his daughters has tho same facial peculiar
ity not at all unplcaslng and our belles,
far and near. Imitate them So declares
my friend. What say Cornerltes who take
my advice nnd keep a lookout for tho now
fad? nnADRR"
Your letter Is nmuslng enough when one
has obeyed your Instructions for n week
nnd examined tho scores of portraits, pub
lished In society, sporting, and genet at
Information columns. Tho Idea of tho
possible origin of tho "fad" may seem far
fetched The fact that It Is a fad cannot
be disputed.
Coffee Color Again
Coffee colored laces aro used on many
of tho fashlonablo spring frocks. These
may be as wldo or as narrow as the pursa
permits, but they must ho a deep ecru
shade. Ono woman, who didn't want to
have her soiled laces wasted, washed them
and dipped them In strong coffee. ,
Sweaters Again
Silk sweaters will contlnuo to bo popular
this summer IJroad checks, striped ef

chief decoration.

THIS Nemo Week demonstrates the benefit, to the public,
of standardized prices for Nemo Corsets as a guarantee of
high quality at established prices, which now, and for
months, have been maintained under very trying conditions.
Rapidly advancing cost of all staples, including corset-materials, indi
cates a substantial advance in retail prices in the near future.
In the face of this condition, we shall emphasize our policy and make
this Nemo Week a great event by featuring, in addition to our full regular
line at regular prices, three beautiful Summer models at much less than
their real value to-day:
