Show 6 SOUSA when I 1 was a young fellow in washington the girl I 1 used to call ou on and whom I 1 afterwards married lived t 0 cloo doors 3 from the sousa family and I 1 ill used cd to see sec a lot of old man alan sousa a tat fat oid gentie gentleman nian of spanish german stoc X whose customary r remark rk after breakfast was vell veil der night vas made tor for sleep and der day for rest I 1 guess I 1 go back bacic to bed he pronounced the family name as if it were spelled jowsa but his son eon johnny gave it a european twist and called ailed it johnny sousa died the other day at the age of 77 the most famous band leader and composer of marches the world has ever known he began playing violin when he was seven he be was a cornet in the U 8 S marine band where his father also played when he was still a boy and was only 20 when he was made the leader of that great band which furril furnishes shei the music for the white house and tor for all other great occasions in washington As a boy in the washington high school cadet corps I 1 remember marching behind the marine band on oil our annual parade up pennsylvania avenue while the musicians played mousas sousas latest composition his still popular high school cadets cabets march I 1 have heard all of 0 the great bands and have known many great band masters gilmore innes creatore and a dozen more but I 1 never expect to hear anyone produce such authentic thrills from brass and drums as could john phillip sousa television there has been bean a lot said and printed about television seeing things at a distance many people are expecting that before long they will be able to inseal television receivers and watch baseball games and other events without leaving their own fixes fi resides ides I 1 have been trying I 1 to find out from engineers and others in the radio industry what the real prospect of practical television Is and I 1 do not get much encouragement for the aget bell belief that it Is just around the corner many of my technical friends say that the experiments so tar far are barking up the wrong tree and that some come entirely new method will have to be discovered or invented it Is possible today with a good deal of expense and trouble to send a motion picture by radio over a short distance so that it will appear somewhat on a very small screen but that Is quite a different thing irom from long dis tance transmission of a view of something which Is actually occurring I 1 would not advise anybody to buy stock in any television outfit just yet n BEAUTY I 1 attended another exhibition of modern modem 1 art the other day the pictures and actues were ere mostly terrible they cioll did 9 ot look like anything ever seen by 1 rian r ian eye and they decidedly were not beautiful but that I 1 was told was the secret beauty Is out of date and things i are not what they seem true art must I 1 show allow the ugly side of life how mile much of that attitude on thel the I 1 part of aspiring young artists Is pose and I 1 how much real I 1 cannot determine I 1 ij think it Is a passing phase and that the I 1 end of art always will be as it always 1 has been to achieve the beautiful nor 1 will the standards of beauty change in a thousand years any mole moie than they have changed to in the past two thousand years 1 f what was beautiful when built or carved I 1 or painted by an artist of ancient greece Is still beautiful and always will be 1 I 1 BIAN la 11 rOWER with all of the unemployment good men really first rate men who know their work and carl can be relied upon to de liver the goods ale aie as hard to find as ever I 1 was in the office of a new york business man the other day when his telephone rang I 1 could not help hearing his bis end of 0 th the conversation On sheroll Th eroll be ro trouble getting the capital I 1 heard him say 1 it the man y you ou speak ot of Is as good as you say he l Is s capitals easy enough to get but manpower is 13 not I 1 put a cent into anything that the right of manpower behind it that has always been true first rate manpower Is scarce in every line of effort the world Is full of second raters olten holding down first rate jobs for a while during the boom a great many second rate slid and theol rate men tried to fill first rate jobs and that was one ol of the causes of the economic crash there never has been enough farst rate manpower to do the worlds as well al 11 as i it ought to be done TASTE ladles ladies in limousines dressed lor for par ties wear french heels and deG ollete gowns therefore every ignorant girl who wants to be taken tor for what she Is n not at thinks she must wear high heels heel and low necked dresses to her work they never realize that persons persona of real taste also have common sense and dont wear such garb except on formal fo at occasions perhaps the e example which mrs hoover set of wearing a cotton gown gohn to a formal party will help dispel the idea ideal that to be taken for
