NEW IN WORLD OF HARMONY
Recently Invented Device Seems te
Offer Undreamed-of Possibilities
to Composers of Music.
Added possibilities for orchestral
composition are revealed in a device
perfected by Bernard Samuels, Euro
pean musician. Competent judges la
the world of harmony believe that his
“areophor" will greatly advance scor
ing for wind Instruments by tinting
future compositions with new and
strangely beautiful harmonies, and
will also prove*a blessing to the mu
sicians themselves by saving their
health and nervous energy.
This instrument is said to provide
a means of holding a tone indefinitely;
While the performer Is resting his
lungs. This is accomplished by foot
pressure on a dust-proof bellows. A
small bellows operated by one foot sup
plies the air. Connected with this Is
a rubber tubing which terminates in a
small metal reed fastened near the
mouthpiece of the instrument. Both
the reed and the regular mouthpiece
pre held in the mouth of the musician,
by a sort of stopcock both are con
trolled.—Washington Star.

Bowed Heads Will Pay Silent
Tribute to Dead as Funeral
Train Grosses
State
Des Moines, la., Aug. 5—Iowa citi
zens who were deprived of the oppor
tunity to honor President Harding
during his term as the leader of the
nation, will honor his memory as hie
body crosses tLe state enroute to
Washington on a magnitude equal to
that which they wished to accord him
personally.
From every village and city along
the route the funeral train will travel,
Monday comes word that ceremonies
and demonstrations to show the grief
of the people at the president’s death
have been planned.
Will Suspend Business
Business Is to be suspended and
the populace of virtually every town
will gather along the train route,
American Legion, boy scouts, lodges
and other organizations will line the
tracks with drill teams and the whole
state will be In mourning.
The funeral train will enter ths
state at Council Bluffs long before
dawn Monday, but this will not lessen
the number of persons gathered at
stations standing with bared heads as
the body of the president is borne
across Iowa.
Abandon Escort Plan
At Boone, probably the only set
ceremony will be held. Representa
tives of every Masonic commandery
of the Btate will gather for brief rit
ualistic services in honor of the man
who recently was to become one of
their number of the 33rd degree.
Chapters of the Masonic and other
orders will have a prominent part in
the silent tributes as the special train
passes other towns along the route.
Military demonstrations were plan
ned at Council Bluffs and numerous
other cities.
Plans for the sending on an offi
cial committee to Omaha to accom
pany the train through the Hawkeye
state have been abandoned, it was
announced late Saturday by Gov
ernor Kendall.
The governor was notified that the
famous transcontinental train had
no accommodations for such an es
cort committee. Messages then were
dispatched to the various members
advising them of the change in
plans.
Crossings to be Guarded
Chicago and Northwestern rail
road officials here announced Sunday
that all railroad crossings in Iowa
would be guarded by patrolmen on
each side of the tracks to insure pas
sage of the train through this state
without accidents. The road will run
a pilot train.
Orders have been Issued that all
freight and work trains shall keep
of fthe main eastbound track for one
hour in advance of the schedule of
the special. All westbound trains
are to halt when the pilot train Is met
and remain at a standstill until the

Washington, Aug. 5—The visit of
Justice Stafford, of the district su
preme court, to President Coolldge
Sunday afternoon raised anew the
question of whether the oath ad
minister ‘d the new chief executive
by his father early Friday morning
was sufficient.
The father, Colonel John C. Cool
idge, is a notary public, holding a
commission issued by the state of
Vermont. The question is whether
this la sufficient authority to make
binding the obligation, or whether
a strict compliance with the con
stitution would require the admin
istering official to hold a federal
commission empowering him to ad
minister oaths.
The president, according to Sec
retary Clark, regards the oatU ad
ministered by his father all that is
required and he has no intention of
taking a second oath. He desires,
however, to be sure that the judi
cial authorities agree with him in
the matter.
The two vice presidents succeed
ing to the presidency preceding
President Coolidge were Roosevelt
and Arthur. President Arthur took
the oath twice. President Roosevelt
only one*
In the case of President Arthur
he was first sworn in by the chief
Justice of the New York supreme
court, holding a state commission,
and upon his arrival in Washington
had Chief Justice White, of the
United States supreme court, ad
minister the oath again.
The one oath taken by President
Roosevelt was administered by a
federal Judge in New York at Buf
falo, where President McKinley was
assassinated.
It Is understood that a final de
cision in the case of Mr. Cbolidge
was not reached at Sunday’s con
ference.
