"Fool Woman" Talk Is Nothing But Pure Bunk Cold Figures Shotr That Woman Drivers of Automobiles in Feirer Accidents and Far Fewer Fatalities Thaii Men - ff it li Odds in Their Favor Grouing All Time By L.. c. OWEN ? CwllH. ?r T?. Ad. f San Francisco. March 13. ? The^j appellation of "fool women" lon.c applied to that class of feminity who t drives motor cars, no Ioniser holds j good. The worn* n folk all alonft," have contended that it nev? r did. But they have had only men- word* ? including the feminine prc-roua tive of t.'.e last one ? to back np their'1, arguments. So the male of the sp.; cies has :oni' about his noisy way, refusing to believe. Now conies official attestation in ; the shape of mortuary, reports byj the coroner of this city that women, are more careful, and therefore more capable automobile drivers: than are men. Dr. T. W. 15. Leland j is the public official who comes for-i ward with indubitable proofs that 1 Insofar as the fair sex and their op eration of j.as buggies is concerned,! they no longer are more deadly than the male ? that the "fool woman"! appellation Is an unfair and unde served libel. For the last three years Coroner' Leland , has been keeping careful ; Check upon the cause of all fatal : automobile accidents in San Francis co. The summary of his tabulations Is enlightening. In the three years! there have been a total of U09 fatal L accidents. In unly 1 7 of thmin whh-1 lie death car driven by a woman, i Ml the other fatalities were caused' < ?y men drivers. The sar;j?i ti^'ulation also shown ;'iat wom.n nr. l??cominu !>?-t t ? r and ?etter operators of automobiles, . rhrco years a^o wr.mcii drivers cilled nine victims. Two years their core dropped to ftye. Last year it ivas only tl.ivv. Presuming that the check kept . iiere upon the caus?? or automobile accidents has much in common with those of other cities of similar size, ; :he tabulations kept by the, San Francisco coroner are of more than passing interest. For instance, the record shows that it is not the driver of hurtling *as juggernauts but the lowly pedes- 1 trian, who is in the most peril of his life. Of the 309 persons killed, 20!) r>r slluhtlv over two-thirds, were afoot when they met death. The lieavy toll on pedestrians also points to a moral. Ninety-eight of them were what are commonly termed, ?jay walkers." In only 2S of the 309 accidents!! lid the drivers of the machines lose j his life. Ninety-five other victims j were occupants of machines wrecked j by reckless or incompetent drivers. 1 I.?f thf l.tUei, 84 m'H1 women. Jazz Music Is To Be Made Respectable Now Money Can Do Anything Some Folks Think So Why May Sot the Kahn Millions Give Syncopated Music Standing and Position, They Say Ily ROBERT T. SMALL. Copyright, - 1924. by Tha Advanct New York, March 13. ? Jazz mu-| sic is in for the bis reformation. The ] Otto H. Kahn millions ? or at least; a part of them? are behind the i movement. If all goes well the com-! mon or garden jazz of today will he I replaced by "Anierlcan symphonic ' syncopation." Roger WolfT Kahn. J youngest son of the famors banker and chairman. Metropolitan Open i Company has invented the new name] for it and he is going to devote hi-j ? life to the elevation of the saxophom* and all its little playmates. , j Mr. Kalhn, Sr.. recently forbade j his son to play his saxophone in prl-j vate entertainments or to make any public appearances with the Roger1 WolfT orchestra, of which Kahn the! younger is b >th patron and member., But last nitht while Father Kahnj I was busy signing a new five-year | | contract with Giulio Gatti-Casazza ? | as gene-al manager of the greatest j opera organization in the world, and! while the worst storm In 20 years I swept the metropolis, young Kahn | made his deferred debut. He not only played with the band at thei j grill room where It is regularly en-; j gaged but he was broadcast over the! jp radio. It is believed now that young j Kahn won his father over because of] I his high aims for jazz. Mr. Kahn' j has said before that he was glad his j son was taking an interest in music and that he felt something really I j AmeRcin could be developed from | | the .^nusical expression now known j j as "Jazz." So that is the theme young Kahn Is to proceed upon. | The youngster is not only a saxo- j phone player ? the richest saxaphone player 1n all the world, because Paul Whlteman is a fiddler and can't I blow a note on any of the walling [ winds, but he is a composer as well and his debut was made the occa { slon of the first public presentation I* of a fox trot called "Why." Rog< r played the saxophone solo parts in [ the rendition of his composition and the piece was received with mucn applause. Young Kahit is just as serious In his effort to elevate jazz as his dls-: | tinguished father has been in the de-| | velopment of grand opera in this, I country. He believes that Jazz is | the best possible medium for edu j eating the musical taste of the peo-j pie as a whole, because it has [ caught the fancy of the masses and ' L has a wider following than any cypeH ?jutf music yet developed. I HT Like Paul Whlteman, yOtttg I pAnlin feels that the musical taste | lean be elevated by bringing tltfu I classics Into syncopated arrange- I ments. He and 1>ls associates have, been quietly but energetically #ork-h Ing along this line, using* the ball room of the Kahn mansion on Fifth | Avenue as their grappling ground! with the old masters. The results have been quite start I - | Ing With the collaboration of the leader of his band, Arthur I*anc. young Kahn has arranged one of the | most difficult compositions of Ru-;l bensteln in a symphonic syncopated.! rhythm which lends Its.df to the foxj| trot In a most appealing way. H also has taken the Atorm motif from j the William Tell Overture and inad". It Into a syncopated symphony for the lodefatiguable dancers of the _ day. i One of the boldest assaults on the m classic* hat been the arrangement of i ?ithe Meditation from Thais in fox I trot tempo. The Meditation air Is ( (carried by a violin played by a young r graduate of the Vienna musical eon-U aervatory. The plunkings of the ban-Q Jo and the obllgato of the savo-n phones are quit, unique. Today Mr.jj E Kahn waa working on suite* of f?.[i ktaous American airs, all of which arefl ba' given the symphonic syncopa-? ?Von treatment. With Mr. Kahn, | Sr., ruling the opera world, and Mr. Kahn, Jr., taking the burden of the] jazz uplift on his broad young slioul- . dfM-s, there is imminent danger that ! Washington may order an investiga tion of this new musical "trust." | TO MEET TONIGHT The Ladies' Aid Society of thej First Christian Church will meet at , 7:30 tonight at the chufch. ! Mr*. Bessie Stewart has returned from a trip to New Orleans and ot her points. .Mrs. William H. Vodrey. of East Liverpool. Ohio, is the guest of Mrs. G. W. Ward, 314 West Main street. Mrs. Vodrey reached the "Sunny South" in time lo be welcomed by the snow storm of Tuesday morning. Lonni?- Jennings who has been seriously ill at his home near the rity is much better. Give Jolly Play Manteo, March 13 ? On Monday night. March 3, Manteo High School presented "Deacon Dubs." 'Che play was directed by Miss Marjalene r??lar and the choruses by Miss Nora Phillips. * The cast of characters was: Dea con Dubbs ? from Sorghum Cent?tf Simeon Tolar; Amos Coleman ? a young lawyer ?

Camllle Britikley; Yennie Yensen ? the hired girl from Sweeden ? Alyce White. The deacon was careful not ta let the audience forget that he was from "Sorghum Center. Slate O' West Virgin ny." ^rmt ? railed. Hie crowd much merriment by his bash mi love for Miss Philipena. But Miss Philipena was not to be cheated out of her romance, and the Instated that the deacon say what he had to say and quit beating around tin bush, until the Deacon came to the point and presented her with a dia mond ring that cost $19.69. Yennie Yenson was equally deter mined in her suit for Deuteronomy Jones whom she insisted "Ban* pretty good looking fellow," and she was willing to pay "Saxty-Nine Dol lars and sixty nine cents for him at the auction sale, even tho' he said little. Deuteronomy Jones tho' he talked little managed to tell Yennie at last that he wanted her for hia wife. Rawdon Crawley, a true villian. tried to abduct the heroine, Rose Raleigh, but the hero, Amos Coleman, arrived Just in time to save her. And Emily Dale's 'ro mance was crushed by the know ledge that Crawley was already mar ried. Crawley went the way of all villians and was ^crushed beneath the wheels of a mcrving train while trying to escape the officers. In the end the clouds all passed away I I and there is a triple weding. and j they take their honeymoon to "Sor- ; ! ghum Center, State O' West Vir-J glnny." The stage was artistically decora , ted to represent the yard -of a com 1 furtable cottage, even "the old fash ioned bucket that hung in the well" having its place.
