Music
(Continued from Page Seven.)
lege man in music He cites many in
stances of college men being successful
In music, although the college graduate
In this sphere Is a rare exception. For
the future he says:
As our civilization' draws further and
further away from Its earlier puritanic
materialism, us the value ot advanced
theoretical music study for pure mental
discipline is more generally recognized.
when the ability or a Toscanlnl to con
duct twenty to forty operas from memory
is rrcoenued as a menial achievement
comparable to preparing a complicated
law case and successfully carrying It
through tho court of appeals, and. fi
nally, as the demand for scholarly and
aeepiy psycnoiogicai conception, interpro
tatlon. and criticism continues to In
crease, the entrance of the college man
into the realm of music will become less
and leas an exception, and a larger and
more honorable place wil be given in the
American college curriculum, to the study
f musical theory and composition.
Tha Boston Opera company presented
' MoeUrllacSra "Monna Vonna" for the
first Uav 1b America this last Week. Tha
gUay H apokea et as oa of tfee flout
pieces of dramatto writing ot modern
times. It has been changed very little
In the musical setting, by Henri Fevrier.
The music dtd not seem to be ot quite as
much Interest aa the play deserves, al
though the composer has at times shown
10 little skill. Mary Garden was the
principal star.
Chicago is enthuslastlo over the first
wek of tho Chicago Opera company, aa
It has opened with the best record in Its
existence. Titta Ruffo, the high-priced
baritone that sang with them last year, Is
filling bis second engagement with them
this year, appearing with great success.
Walter E. Youngthe organist of the
mother church of Christian Science, Bos
ton, was formerly a resident ot Omaha.
Mr. Young played the organ at Trinity
cathedral and at the First Congregational
church during his residence here. He
later removed to Boston and engaged In
the organ manufacturing business. He
was engaged to give the first publle re
dtal at Symphony hall on the new in
strument, tha Chorlaslo." a stringed In.
strument with a patented arrangement
to shock the keys by electricity, without
physical contact Ha has given recitals
for the municipality ot Boston attended
by over 6,000 people. Mr. Young has done
some composing under the pen name of
Ernest Walters.
Unprecedented interest. Is the report for
tho Melba-Kubeltk concert to be given
here on January 11 Miss Hopper Is re
ceiving orders from all over the state, as
this Is their only appearance In Nebraska,
and she asserts that local Interest is not
lagging, either. These two supreme part
ners In art and business have made pos
sible the enterprise which has been de
scribed as "the halt-mllllon-doltar tour."
Their record thus far has been capacity
audiences and the figure originally set
bids fair to be overstepped. Melba
and Kubellk are now on the west coast
and after a concert In each of the Im
portant western towns, will take a two
weeks' rest in southern California during
the holidays.
It is twelve years since Mm. Melba has
been heard In Omaha, and three years
since she last sang In the United State.
Since then she has been touring the
English provinces, devoting most ot her
time to her en opera company la Aus
tralia, It was at Mme. Melba's request
that Edmund Burks was included aa the
third member of this trio ot stars. Gabriel
Laplerre, pianist, and Marcel Mayse,

RED LIGHTS ON THE BLINK
Red has been the sign of danger and a
warning signal since tho earliest times.
Just why it was selected as a danger
warning is a question for the anthropolo
gist and historian to determine. It Is
unfortunate that this color, which is be
coming increasingly Important with the
growing danger of accidents In civilized
life, la the color to which many human
eyes ore Insensitive. Color blindness Is
apparently becoming more common. In
Its most frequent form, it Is Impossible
for the oolor blind person to distinguish
red from green, yet those two colors,
which ore the most confusing to the hu
man retina, ore the very ones which ore
In most common use as signals for dan
ger and caution. So common Is red and
green oolor blindness that all licensed
pilots, master of veasela. engineers, fire
men, motormen and others employed In
directing vessels, trains, trolley cars and
other means of transportation are re
quired to submit to a color test and to
prove that they possess an accurate de
gree of red-green color perception. The
simple expedient ot selecting as a sign
of danger a color to which practically
all human eyes are susceptible has only
recently been suggested. Drugs. Oils and
Points, in a recent issue, contains an
article by Dr. Francis D. Patterson, sug
gesting a new signal to take the place ot
the familiar red warning. Patterson calls
attention to the foot that the number of
Industrial accidents Is at present enor
mous and is apparently Increasing. As
approximately one male In every twenty
five has a deficient color perception and
as most of these have an impaired sensi
bility for red. Dr. Patterson argues that
the retention ot this color as a danger
signal Is simply inviting further increase
in accidents. His objection Is baaed on
the fact that many persons are color
blind to red and are consequently not
only barred from any occupation in which
a color perception Is necessary, but are
also deprived of the protection from acci
dents and danger supposed to be offered
by danger algnals. He also objects to red
for practical reasons: it 1. .
color, difficult to distinguish, fading on
v " ""sni and requiring fre
quent repainting. The Doslhni .u..
and green color blindness will increase
rather than diminish in the future only
serve to emphasize the unfitness of these
" 'sna 01 oanger and caution
Experiments with the spectrum and wltli
color blind persons, aa well aa with va
rtous colors at different distances, leads
Patterson to the conclusion that yellow
and blue are the best rnim- .
signals, as he says that thBV
only colors which give rise to a normal
color sensation as soon h. ,
visible, are the most luminous colors of
the spectrum and are permanent and faat
tTOsvua react normally
to them. It has long since passed into a
proverb, says the Journal of the Amer
ican Medical Association, that It Is easier
to change the laws of the people than to
change their customs. The fact that
many persons are unable to distinguish
red from other colors should alone be
sufficient to cause it to be discarded oa
a danger signal.
