JAZZ AND MUSIC
Down in Seattle, a citizen, as yet
midentified, took his trusty rifle in
land and fired a shot through a phon
igraph that had been wound up to
day “Yes, "We Have No Bananas ' for
ight hours a day. He did it, presum
bly, as a measure of protest against
he silly music and senseless words,
nd the rasping monotony of the me
hanical noisemaker.
The day before this happened, a no
ed eastern composer and music crit
c, appeared before a convention of
lusic instructors and supervisors in
he classic state of Massachusetts,^
nd not only urged these teachers to
■e patient with the banana song and
ts relatives, but led them in a cont
inuity singing of this ridiculous bal
id.
The Seattle citizen felt that no good
hir.g could come out of the banana
ong. and in addition was thoroughly
ut of patients with its long reitera
iori by the singing machine. \Ye can
ympathize with his emotions. The
lassachusetts music critic told his
udience that, though modern jazz and
\zz songs might appear now to be ut
erly senseless and irritating, they
.•ere nevertheless ‘ songs of the peo
le,” and that they might in time form
he basis of folk music' in America,
'pon that ground he urged patience.
Now the highbrow and the man with
he sensitive nerves will find it hard
o meet .his music critic upon any
ommon ground but the man in the
rreet may well give attention. The
eason that jazz is popular is that it
ppeals to a vast majority of the peo- j
le who pay any attention whatever
o music of any kind. On the other
and even jazz lovers will agree that
his kind of music does not do a fel
ow much good—that it arouses no
igh and compelling emotions, it stirs
io fine resolves, it stimulates no deep
nd poetic revery. It has none of
he value which real music has for
hose who know how to listen to it.
It would seem, then, that the future
f it really preserves jazz at all, will
■voke the genius that shall find and
;rasp the power that makes jazz pop
ilar, and shall combine that power
vith eements of more elevating ap
ical.

CHICAGO, Sept. 5.~The batik rob
ber of today is a post graduate of the
university of crookdom and his nieth-1
ods of cracking safes are improving
just as other inventions or theories
are being improved upon in me evo
lution of things.
This fact acocrding to the Illinois
Bankers’ Association, has led to pro
tective measures by banks that are
based on the very latest and most
scientific lines. The bankers, accord
ing to the Association, have long
since ceased to believe that any safe
is impregnable to the fingers, acety
lene torches or soup of the modern
bank robber.
According to a prominent safe firm
here bankers are now concerned with
building safes that will give the rob
ber the most trouble to open. When
the new vaults are constructed they
are built from the standpoint of how
long it would take an expert to open
them, rather than from a viewpoint
of being absolutely impregnable.
What the bankers now want are j
round or screw doors 3^ incnes in i
i thickness.
At regular intervals each bank safe
in this state is inspected by an expert
with a view to improving its protec
tive features.
