The Guidite World '1 of Music 11 11 By Miss Ethel Jones 1 1 Jazz Piano Playing One of the questions most fre- j quently asked a teacher is wheth r j the playing of jazz wm not inter- ; fere with the playing of classical ! music. The answer is this- Too many students will play jazz un known to the teacher and as a re sult develops a careless reading of notes and a "sloppy” hand position, both of which are extremely detri mental to true pianist’s progress. Through the careful supervision of a teacher this will not happen And far more music will be learn ed because of the student interest in what he is playing, There is a wrealth of rhythm, melody and harmony in jazz. Some of the melodies are trite, some catchy and some are downright haunting, but a student who learrs to become conseioiqs of the melody in jazz is the one who becomes conscious of the stream of tone biendings found in finer music. Attractive jazz playing demands an inteiligsrtt un^tej-st-aTiding of major and mino'Jyhords to provide the harmony and establish the , rhythm. If the student learns lhe.se chords, he will be able to recognize them in their broken forms as so often found in classical music The love for fine music must he introduced gradually and tactfully to the youth of today. And only after the thirst for ‘something popular” has been quenched will the student apply himself diligent ly to the studies of Izerny, Bach, and Heller. Hence, a teacher who will sup | ervise the jazz as well as the j classical playing of the student will not make jazz pianists, but future > artists and appreciative listeners to the finest that is to be found in the World *f mus-ic.

OMAHA, NEBRASKA FORK IS NEWCOMER IN EATING TOOLS Spoon, Knife Were First Among Food Utensils. W ishington, D. C. — Spoons that scooped up walrus strew from a common pot, and knives thi t sliced off mouthfuls of raw blubber for hungry Eskimos 1,090 years ago were found in Alaska this summer by a joint expedition of the National Geographic society and the Smith sonian institution. "These ancient utensils give a vivid picture of the life of ten oen turies ago, but they also are re minders that although table man ners have changed, eating imple ments of today are essentially the same as in prehistoric tirhes,” says the National Geographic society. "The spoon is as old as man himself, or at least, as a wit re marked, as old as soup, while the knife dates back equally far. Even thg fork, ‘hough only a few hundred years old in its present form, de veloped from skewers or breiling sticks, which were stuck in the ashes with fish 'spitted' on them tor ceoking. The first forks had only a single prong. First Spoons Were Shells. “The prehistoric Eskimo spoons found in Alaska are of wood, ivory or the horns or bones of caribou. The knives have wooden, ivory or bone handles with slate blades ground to a sharpness comparable to the table knife of today. "The earliest spoons, however, probably were clam or oyster shells, or small gourds. Later someone thought of inserting the shell or gourd in the split enu of a stick, thus making a handle. “The spoon, knife and many other utensils also had a common origin in the wooden 'throwing board’ used by some primitive peoples for gain ing greater leverage in throwing a spear. Flat and slightly hollowed, the throwing board was used also for a fire-making tool, for catching blood from a slain animal, and had a sharpened edge for use as a skinning knife or a weapon. It could be used as a combined knife, spoon and platter. "The spoon served from earliest times not only for eating soups, stews, berries and other foods not easily picked up with the Angers, but also as a record af family and tribal genealogy. All aver the world primitive man carved tribal orna ments and totems of his ancestors —many of them mythical—on the handles of his spoons, often with amazing artistry and extremely del icate detail. “Spoons of later date, too, had elaborately carved handles, for ex ample the 'Apostle spoons' in sets of 13, each bearing the figure of a different one of the 12 Apostles, and the thirteenth the figure of Christ. They were popular as gifts to new born babies. Some ancient spoon handles had sharp points for punc turing eggs. “Spoons have been made of many materials, wood, ivory, stone, porce lain, even the horns of mountain sheep, steamed until they could be bent into an open spoon shape. Some American Indians had spoons of coils of basketry sewn into spoon shape, but used of course only for dry foods. Carried Own Tools. “In the Thirteenth century a guest used the same spoon throughout his meal, usd was expected to bring his own knife. Even as much as 400 years later people of the more prosperous classes, when traveling, carried their own knives, forks, and spoons with them, for inns of those days seldom provided eating uten sils. Fashionable people had elab orate folding sets of knives, forks and spoons for traveling. “Next to the spoon the knife was the oldest eating utensil, and 'eat ing with one’s knife' was far from bad manners until very recent times. The Eskimo of 1,000 years ago, and today, stuffs the end of a strip of meat into bis mouth until it will hold no more, then cuts off the remainder with • swift knife stroke that barely misses, but never touches, his nose. "Old knives were pointed, for spearing fragments of meat, and had round ends, for table knives came into use only after forks be NOT IN THE BOX SCORE: j T'ilE New York State Assembly I this winter will be asked to in vcsttgate the conduct of the com missions supposed to regulate box 1 ins and racing. . .

WOMEN TAKING OVER MANY AUSTRIAN JOBS Women are making such rapid Inroads Into Austrian trades and professions that some men fear In a few years they will lose control of all key positions, asserts a VI enna United Pres* correspondent. A recent census of all trades and professions Showed the apprnxl mate ‘'genderlal” division of two thirds mea and one-third women. At the rate women have been penetrating the higher-paid pmfes slons since the war It Is feared the percentage soon will be reversed because as the women advance to better positions they engage fern Inlne assistants Instead' of men. The women, ns might be expect ed, dominate certain trades like ladies’ tailoring, clerking and stenography, hut the astounding thing Is that 10 per cent of the country’s pharmacists are women. 8 per cent of the country’s doc tors, 15.2 per cent of the dentists and 3.1 per cent of the lawyers. One fourth of Austria's private Instructors, musicians, writers and Journalists are women, while even In the field of enginering there are 30 accredited feminine engineers In addition, there arc 13 con tractors. 175 mall carriers. 153 chauffeurs and eight chimney sweeps. fn the textile Industry 00 to 80 per cent of the workers are worn en, while one-third of the total farmers are female.
