ScNEFIT OF CHORAL SINGING
EquaMxta Man, Craataa Spirit of Broth-
arhood and Taka* Mind Off Busi
nas#, Assarts Profspaor.
’ Music gives utterance to something
within one which con never And ex
pression In Words or acta, In the opin
ion of A. E. Westbrook, director of
music in the Kuntins State Agricul
tural college. Choral singing is of
groat benefit to a community.
“Music is of great advantage to
men,” snid Trofessor Westbrook. “It
equalizes them, creating a spirit of
brotherhood, and takes their minds off
business. It gives them a new nnA
different Insfght. which is accomplish!®
not by singing the common popular
songs, but by really good music that
can be appreciated.
“The value of music in bringing to
gether socially disorganized communi
ties has never been fully realized. By
choral singing, people in any one lo
cality can be brought Into certain sym
pathy with one another. Wherever
there is a neighborhood there is a
chance for singing. A leader is need
ed who will select only the best music.
Where neighboring ‘groups have been
singing the same kind of good music
they will find In any large community
gathering that they have something in
common and will he ready to take part
in choral singing on an even larger
scale.
“If an orchestra ploying Beethoven
played In a community unused to such
music, there would break forth from I
the audience an unrestrained applause
such as cornea only from people who
are really hungry for good music—the |
kind of rnuatr thr^ community musical i
societies will bring to them.*'

“Coal Savtra. M
Various preparations are extensively

which are presumed to contribute con
siderably to the heating power of coal
’Vyhnt the German government means when applied in the prescribed doses,
by a “place In the sun" Is the e.tterml
nation of the peoples whose soil it
covets sa that Germans may replace
those that have been exterminated.
The systematic destruction oi’ civil
ians'In Belgium, northern France, Po
land, Serbia, and the actual enslave
ment of the survivors proves It—the
-frequently boasted German “policy of
blood and iron’' and the “Hymn of
Hate,” which has become a natlonol
hymn, proclaims IL
From the rudlmental condition of
ancient barbarism, a spiritual develop
ment was possible; from the accom
plished inhumanity of Prusslanlsm. a
more rigid Inhumanity only Is possible,
A German victory would mean the
blight of what we call civilization and
the elimination of what we believe di
vine in man. What we believe In.

be annihilated by the esaeoce of Prua-
■Ian 1 am; oar world would be deitroyad

writes Consul General Robert P. Skin
ner, London. The director of fuel re
search, in answer to an inquiry as to
the value of these preparations, states
that these proprietary substances have
been in the market a long time, but
that there does not appear to be any
genuine scientific evidence in support
of the claims of their manufacturers.
He concludes; ‘The nature of the
substances makes it highly ImpfC'B
that they have any effect whafsOTvT't
on fhe combustion of coal or other
fuels when they are used In UK quan
tities prescribed.”
