7 B F Adelaide. Keiuierly i THE OMAHA SUI?DAY BEE: FEBRUARY S, 1918. W Ella Fleishman, lie 5? rM?3u-5ll i i MUSIC t i By HENRIETTA M. REES. S IT FAIR," asks a Jocal teach- for women who do not 1 hv lave to teach, to take music pupils for merely a nominal um, just to givethem something to do? The teacher who. depends upon her musical education to make her living cannot afford to compete with this type of teacher." Nojt isn't fair. If a woman who does not have to teach to make her living prefers to do so, because she loves it, or .because there is demand for her services, she should not cut under the professional , prices. The Itborer is worthy of his hire, whether .he is laborer in artistic fields or anywhere else, and. personal income has nothing to do with it. If a person has not sufficient musical education to ! warrant professional standing he should not teach. If he has his serv ices are worth as much as those of others who are also musically edu cated. If one can , make any extra money which he does not know what to do with there, are several hundred ways of using it to good advantage, in fed Cross, or other war work these days. The average w6man who teaches' some friend's children just for fun and for much less than the professional teacher they some times give up for her will many times be irregular, as housework or teas or matinees or other Incidents will at times interfere, and she will think: "I'll change the lesson today or let it go, itJsn't the main Issue, anyway." The ptfpil will think: "Oh, well, It isn't as if I were studying with a real teacher. She gives me lessons just for fun and so I do not have to work very hard." And the parents will think: "We are not paying much for the lessons, it doesn't matter so much if the children do not have them good. . It is really more of, a social than a business arrangement, anyway. That Is one of the troubles. Even though the woman may be much bet ter equipped than many teachers, she is not appreciated, unless it is a busi ness or professional arrangement and held aa such. ... It is - not fair to the professional teachers, it is not fair to the pupils nor their parents, nor. is it fam to the amateur teacher herself. Do you remember Ugo Ara, the viola player of the Flonzaley quartet, who appeared with them several times in Omaha? For the last six months he has been in, the Italian hospital service, his place in the quartet be ing temporarily filled by .Louis Bailly. Musical journals of the week contain an item from an Italian newspaper Which took up a subscription for the children of the refugees of the invad ed Italian provinces,, which reads as follows: "Among the various expressions of P proval onr undertaking has brought forth, there is one whieh we pommendto the ap plause of all Italians-one which represents In : the exquisite gftefousness and spon taneity of its munificent offer an example of the character. : ' , "It is fhe soldier, Vgo Ara, of Venice, who writes as follows l .

The Musical Leader reprints from the Musical Quarterly a portion of an article on "Energy of American Crowd Music," by T. Carl Whttmer, : ...hiot, tVi author attemnts a defi nition of what constitutes good music. Mr.' Whitmer, without Deing tecnni cal, succeeds in giving some of the salient differences between good mu sic and cheap music. Among his points are the following: "Tt is nnt alwavs nOSSlble tO tell on first hearing the good from the bad because of some superficial re semblance, just as the texture of stuffs in fine imitations may De misleading to the average buyer, i "One thing to be observed is that l.'ll.i ara hnltltc1 v HSPntial tO DOOr music, which would not get far with out a label. Uooa music nas us uues but its life is not dependent on them. In the cheap the vulgar title and the Sentimental title are much in evi dence. . "Good music, when gay, will be really gay and frolicsome rather than smack of vaudeville and the foxtrot. If sentimental, it will not be mawk ish. Poor music is overdressed and overspiced in orchestra score, using drums, xylophones clappers, fifes and rraiAtv nf tin and tinsel rather than variety of color in the divisions of the orchestra. "Good music is based on a greater fhnrA variftv Th nnnr is hnilt nvnr groundwork of but three or four chords and these are in evidence in every piece.

It soon loses that character on repetition, but inevitably good music will be some- whaf puztung at first and the unini tiated hearer will take it on suspicion. -"Good music has brains back of it. Ordinary pieces are like so many or dinary people, exact duplicates one of the other. The parrot theory is overworked.- Good music is based on sev eral melodies at once. The poor is mighty glad to boast one at a time, although la recent years there has been a freat improvement along this line." , ;f .. Musical Notes.'

Wants Potash Mines, Says German Professor (Correspondence of The Associated Press.) Amsterdam, Jan. 28. The German teople now are being told that the fnited States went into the war, not to make the world safe for democ racy, but in order that American cap italists might acquire the potash mines of Alsace. Prof. Roth of Greifswald university, in an article in the Vossische Zei tung, says: "American troops, we hear, are now occupying a portion of the French front. It is quite possible that they will soon appear along the Rhine-Rhone canal, in order to estab lish American claims to the potash mines there, seeing that America's peaceful designs on our potash in 1909-10 (by purchase) were defeated by the passage of the German potash vMcnuu ouy vi me . t w iui iciacu, iarnp shades.

' "Along with coal and iron, potash is Germany's strongest weapon, and if the best of it should be taken away from it, it would be deprived of the best economic club it can wield against the United States. Without the 250,000 tons of potash fertilizer which the Americans annually import from Germany in peace time, their cotton, tobacco, sugar and fruit crops would be in perpetual jeopardy. So it is necessary that our world mon opoly in potash should remain intact. It will enable us to demand in ex change certain necessary raw mater ials from our present foes. Our watch word must be.

But two Rus sian prisoners were found by the Brit ish in German dugouts at Anncujf, which was barely four miles, from the lines as they hy at the opening of the Cambrai attack, Moreover, these Russians had seen a party of 300 to 400 British prisoners at work near Cambrai, about eight miles from the old front lines. - The Russians told a pitiful story of ill treatment nd suffering.
