In speaking of the needs for a civ;.; center Mr. Brunner said: "The civic center is an example of wise control. It represents law and order. Here the streets meet and resolve them selves into regular forms; the build ings stop swearing at each other, cease their struggle for prominence and their endeavors to overtop each other; they take their places in the civic ranks like true soldiers obedi ent to authority. "In designing the municipal center we must plan for to-day and prepare for to-morrow. With an eye to the future we must decide Just how much we can do now. Just how much we can pay now. Sufficient unto the day are the taxes thereof. But let us build well, of enduring materials, plan deliberately, abandon village methods and above all have faith in cur ideals. "The practical man has been de fined as one who knows all about a machine except what it is for. The small Americans, as Mr. Taft called them, have retarded the progress of civic art by small fears and smaller faith."

BXBiUßßirwa q€gfc&i waiCTapfl "THE PRINCE OF MUSIC" FOUNDER OF POLYPHONY Palrstrina, Whose Melodious Calling of His Huckster Wares W on Him a Chance in a Church Choir, Was a Great Figure in the Musical World Aside from the dramatic and his toric interest that attaches to the appearance in America of tho Vati can Choirs, which for 550 years have not been heard, as a body, outside of tho basilicas of Koine, and whose genesis dates back to a period far beyond the Middle Ages, the oppor tunity that will be afforded lovers of choral art to gain a personal knowl edge of polyphonic music—some thing which cannot be obtained from books alone—from its highest ex emplars will bo a rare and unpre cedented event. When the program is announced for the concert to be given hero, it will be seen that a majority of the selec tions are from the works of Pales trina, the great master of poly phonic art whose compositions of church music' mark the high tide of the golden era of its artistic pro duction. Polyphony means, simply, '"many sounds"—the combination of metb dies or musical ideas. In its me dium of expression it is purely vo cal, without the accompaniment of any instrument like the organ or a supporting medium like the orches tra. It bears the same relation to vocal composition that symphony does to orchestration. The man who first conceived the idea of varying the one-part singing of, say, a so prano or baritone chorus by the ad dition of alto, tenor, or base parts was the discoverer of polyphony. Palestrina was not the first com poser of polyphonic music, but he developed the art to such a degree dnd by the sublimity of his genius so enhanced its worth that he made this field his own. In this branch of music Palestrina occupies the place held by Beethoven in sym phony, by Dante and Shakespeare in poetry and by Michael Angelo in painting and sculpture. He was, by the way, a contemporary of Michael Angelo, whose great work in the Sistine chapel, "The Last Judgment" is said to have been painted under the daily inspiration of Palestrina's masterpiece sung by the Sistine Choir, under the leadership of the master. Harmonies Blossomed I,lke Roses When Palestrina's great work, the Mass of Marcellus ((selections from which, it is said, will be given in the Kansas City program) was first pro duced in the Sistine Chapel, "the whole of Italy welcomed it with a burst of passionate applause," writes John Addington Symonds In his "Renaissance." "Church music had been saved. Modern music had been created. A new and lovely form of art had arisen like a star." "Hauptman, the German dramatist, and mystic, says of Palestrina's music, "it has all its separate parts so beautiful that one would like to sing them all one's self." In George Moore's musical novel, "Evelyn In nes," whole pages are devoted to Palestrina. After Evelyn's father had successfully organized a choir in London to sing the old church musio Evelyn remarked: "Father always said that Pales trina would draw all London, if properly given." Then follows a description of the singing of the Palestrina music; "The Missa Brevis is one of the most exquisite of the (master's minor works. It is written in four voices, and with the largest choir at his command, Mr. Innes was able to put eight to ten voices on a part; and hearing voices darting, voices soaring, voices floating, weav ing an audible embroidery, Evelyn felt the vanity of accompaniment instruments. Upon the ancient chant the new harmonies blos somed like roses on an old garden stem, and when on the ninth bar of the Kyrie the tenors soft separated from the sustained chords of the other parts, the effect was as of magic. She had heard it sung by gray haired men in the papal choir in Rome, soprano voices of a rarer and more radiant timber than any woman's sexful voice—subtle, and, in some complex way, hardly of the i earth at all—voices in which no ac cent of sex transpired, abstract voices aloof from any stress of pas sion, undistressed by any longing. They were not human voices, and hearing them, Evelyn had imagined angels bearing tall lilies in their hands, standing on wan heights of celestial landscape, singing their clear silver music." Worked as a Huckster While much of the life of Giovan ni Pierluigl Palestrina is veiled with the mist of fable, such facts as are known read like a romance. He was born in the small town of Pales trina, southeast of Rome, and it was from that little town that he de rived his name. In the year 1541, while he was a boy of about 14, he left his birthplace and went to the Eternal City. Tradition has It that he was received into the Choir of Santa Maria Maggiore by Maestro Pittoni, who heard him singing in the streets. Another story is that he was a huckster, calling out his wares and attention was attracted to his vojee. At any rate, it is certain that October 28, 1544, at the age of 18, he was sufficiently accomplished in music to be appointed to a canonry in Palestrina, where he had returned, and where he sang, taught and played the organ in the little church. Three years later he mar ried Lucrezia du Goris, a young peasant girl who owned a small vineyard. There he remained until 1551, when he was summoned to Rome to become the first chapel master of the Julian Chapel in the Vatican. In 1554 he had made enough pro gress in composition to dedicate a volume of masses to Pope Julius 111 and the next year he was appointed as one of the pontifical singers in the Sistine Chapel. This was in vio lation of all rules for he was a lay man and married, and it is also said that he was not a good singer after he reached the years of maturity. After the death of Julius, and when Paul IV came to the papal throne, he promptly dismissed Palestrina from the choir, and did not allow him the pension of six gold scudi— about $6 —a month. The composer was quite pros trated by worry over his poverty. As a matter of fact he lived and died a poor man. In the dedications to some of his great works he often remarks with touching pathos how difficult It was to pursue his work in the midst of domestic anxiety. In October, 1555, he became chapel master for ten years at the still small and Inadequate salary of six teen scudi a month. It was during this Incumbency that the Council of Trenh had con demned church music because of its laxity, artificiality and adoption of familiar street songs. In an effort to prevent the final banishment of music from the churches a commis sion of eight cardinals was appointed by Pope Pius IV to ascertain what reforms could be accomplished. At their request, Palestrina wrote three masses. It was his task to create a new species of church music or • . I witness the extinction of his beloved art. It is doubtful if any artist ever found himself in similar straits. Hs three masses were sung and all were approved, but two were lacking in some respects. In the third, the Mass of Pope Marcellus, he solved the problem. The genius of the mas ter had extracted from the works of his predecessors their valuable quali ties, and, discarding contrapuntal excesses, substituted a direct and simple utterance clothed with the beauty of grace and melody. The Sorrows of a Genius Palestrina's only reward was the grant of full pay of a singer in the Sistine Chapel, a stipend which was continued by the next seven pontiffs who resigned. In 1571 ho was re appointed to his old position as a chapel-master of the Julian Chapel, and this position he retained until his death. It was the desire of Pope Sixtus V to make him maestro of the Sistine Chapel, but this could not be done as he was a layman. Although still poor, his condition had improved and he now enjoyed the friendship and patronage of Cardinal Buoncom pagni. However, sorrow had come to him in a new 'form, for about 1580 denth took from him his sons and pupils, Angelo and Uidolfo, and also his beloved wife. His great grief found expression in the "Super Flumina Babylonis," which will be heard in the program sung here by the Vatican choirs. His sole re maining son, Igino, turned out to be a thorn in his flesh. A year or so later he married a wealthy widow, Virginia Dormuli. This marriage must have brought happiness to him, for soon after he made 29 settings of the "Song of Solomon," which he dedicated to Pope Gregory XIII and which is regarded as his finest work, with the exception of the Mass of Marcellus. As years passed on he continued to write such great compositions as the Lamentations and the Stabat Mater. Finally, in 1594, he was stricken with pleurisy and died, leaving di rections for publishing his manu scripts to his son, Igino, and his friend and patron, Philip de Neri. On hiS"tomb was inscribed the sim ple title, "Princeps Musicae." Refutes Stories That Jenkins Gave Himself Up to Band of Bandits By Associated Press Mexico City, Wednesday, Oct. 29. —Published intimations that the abductions of William C. Jenkins, j American consular agent at Pueblo, I presented phases indicative of con nivance by Jenkins and certain of his associates with the bandits are refuted in a st9ry published by Ex celsior. The newspaper's story is the result of an investigation by its spe cial representative in Pueb'a. The Excelsior says the consular agent was really kidnaped and that Cordova, leader of the bandits, sign ed a receipt of 300,000 pesos, al though it says it is not known how much of this amount has been paid or who paid it. The arrest of Jenkins* attorney, who has been released on bail, is be lieved to have been brought about by the local courts wanting to as sure testimony to aid in clearing up more or less hazy charges. Use Schools to Provide Barracks For Soldiers Berlin, Oct. 30.- Some of the public schools of the city have been unable to admit pupils this autumn because the buildings were occupied by Home Defense troops which camped in them during the vacation period. Authorities of the schools have protested to the Prussian Min ister of Education and to Defense Minister Noske, pointing out that hundreds of moving picture thegters concert halls and hotels have re ■ mained undisturbed by troops. To provide barracks for these sol | diers, the government is confiscat- I ing the quarters of numerous war societies. Because of the prospective short age of coal, it is planned to combine several schools, reduce the courses and hours of study to 18 a week. This has aroused a protest.

Italian Conferences Stirred by U. S. Refusal By Associated Press Paris Oct. 30. Rumors re ceived here that tho American Gov ernment had refused to accept the latest project put forward by For eign Minister Tittoni for the settle ment of the Fiume question caused a display of deep emotion in Italian conference circles in Paris. Although no official confirmation of the rumor has been received the Italian delegation generally feels that the information is correct and that the delegates are showing great disappointment. While the heads of the Itulian mission maintain their courteous, diplomatic manner, lesser members of the delegation are out spoken saying the decision would prolong indefinitely the perplexities and anxieties now facing the Italian Government.
