A CRESCENDO IN PIANO SAIE3
One stops to listen nowadays be
fore the house in which a piano is
being well played. Around that
house there gathers an atmosphere of
other, more graceful times; Perhaps
not for the strains of a golden voice
would one have : paused here. No,
nor hardly for the strains of a Bee
thoven symphony. It is a paradox of
the times that the majesty of a great
orchestra transmitted hundreds of
miles from the concert hall to the
home might not even retard a pass
er's steps but a fragment of one
hu-nble performer's effort can stay
them. . . . - ,
For the home-played piano is one
of the better things of eur yester
daysor so it seems. Phonograph
and radio ' appear to have monopol
ized living-room entertainment. At
auy rate; it is to these mediums of
music that the decline of the parlor
piano is attributed. 'The young
folks won't bother . to learn how to
play "when1 they can: get. such good
in usie " by just . turning . a. knob." . ' So
it I is believed - that: pianos. , if they
serve at all, must-stand and .wait.
Arid since the J business decline has
turned -detention, to less expensive
ornaments, many a'.pianQ .maker .has
become .convinced that his, business
is but- of tune with Ithe times. v
Hasn't it occurred to anyone that
the radio should'. have ."been used fuj.'
a. better .purpose" thin merely, to keep
the '"ivories", from getting soiled un
der - young fingers .' Shouldn't so
much muslc,r so ably played, have
inspired" the-youngsters to try their
hand at making, some of their own?
When the best a boy or ' girl ever
heard was the wheeze of a parlor
organ or the loose, dut-of-Joint rasp
ing and plucking of a tottering
piano, there-was not much incentive
to make the ' sounds " locally known
as music. All -this should be differ
ent' how.
One piano manufacturer,' perhaps
sensing the anomalous nature of the
piano's : fall from favor, has turned
to turning the . tide. This firm, by
synchronizing itself with the right
product, the right ' price and the
right dealers, has put a host of new
pianos where they ought to be. Sales
in six months beginning last July
have been increased 245 per cent
over 130 figures on an expensive
line. Now you can't sell pianos, es
pecially in these : times, ' to people
who do not want them. '-
Of 'course, a piano built to sell for
400 should not be regarded as a
Stradlvarius of its family, though it
might be a reasonably good one. A
higher-priced - piano should . prove a
better investment in the long run.
But the fact -that -any piano can be
sold in Increasing volume nowadays
should do much -to correct the im
pression : that the - instrument - of
Chopin,' Liszt, Rubinstein, Paderew
ski, is no longer the instrument of
the people. The" experience of one
company should offer a hint to oth
ers', - even in the high-priced field.
PeThaps the right product at the
"right" price would increase the pro
duction of some of the finest pianos
sufficiently to make them available
to easy zasro-homes. sad ' at the

BOYCOTT AS A WEAPON
The more we think about these
spontaneous boycotts, the more we
are inclined to think that they are
the most terrible" weapon yet de
vised. The Indian boycott against
English cotton has laid waste whole
sections of Lancashire and brought
hundreds of thousand of Englishmen
to the point of starvation.
The Chinese boycott against Ja
pan has brought about such terrible
unemployment in the little Japanese
empire that her government, in des
peration, has run amuck. Govern
ments usually run amuck when they
are faced by a boycott because boy
cotts cannot be controlled by gov
ernment action. The only way the
English or the Japanese can stop the
boycott against their goods is to kill
off every Indian and every China
man. And then the last state would
be worse than the first.
A group of American women, on
their own initiative, have undertak
en to boycott Japanese silk. They
have announced that Mrs. Hoover's
recent appearance at a public func
tion "led the way" for their dem
onstration. Poor Mrs. Hoover can do noth
ing about it. The whole army and
navy of the United States can do
nothing about it. The Japanese
might possibly be driven by an ex
tension of the idea to declare war on
us, but In reality even that would
accomplish nothing. Japan could be
ruined and all governments would
have to stand helplessly by and watch
the ruination proceed.
What fascinates and terrifies us
at the moment is the speed with
which diverse peoples are learning
the potency of this weapon. Accord
ing to another story the Chinese
merchants of this city have agreed
to boycott Japanese goods. We are
told you can no longer buy Japan
ese 6andals in Chinese shops here.
What can the Japanese government
do about that? What can the Amer
ican government do? Baltimore
Evening" Sun.
:o:
WELL, CAN YOU IMAGINE IT?
With 'the comforting reflection
that things might be worse, a writer
in the New York Nation quotes the
British economist, John Maynard
Keynes, to . the effect that "there is
no I'Hlural or inevitable period of
time during which a depression can
Inst, although the longest one known
to history is that which occurred
during; the Middle AgeB. It lasted
eight hundred years."
- We have known only an expand
ing -world, and we have got used to
taking it. for granted that each suc
cessive year would find the mechan
ics of life better than they were the
year before.
Everything gets bigger and bet
ter as a matter of course. When we
move into a new apartment, it is
more convenient than the one we
left; when we buy a new car, it Is
faster and easier to drive than the
ol done we discarded.
But things can go down-hill as
well as up, and there have been na
tions which have got used to a grad
ual simplification of life; which have
seen great buildings, -not torn down
to make room for greater ones, but
gradually abandoned, one after an
other , which have frankly recog
nized the impossibility of maintain
ing the machinery which their fore
fathers had set up.
The aqueducts of Rome were nev
er rebuilt after Belisarius destroy
ed them, and from that day forward
most Romans went unbathed.
Can we imagine similar catas-
trophies overtaking us, and can we
Imagine ourselves in a similar frame
of mind? .
Can we Imagine taking it for
granted that when our electric re
frigerator breaks down we shall have
to go back to . an icebox, that the
road over which we drive will not be
repaired, but will get worse and
worse until it is impassable at last?
Can we imagine horse-drawn ve
hicles gradually replacing taxicabs,
and a day when the Bronx subway
will cease to run because it has no
passengers?

Friends of Al Smith report that
he has outgrown his brown derby,
but what the. other aspirants want
to know is whether he has outgrown
