Picture the. tired business man, sated by mus- leaf" comedy and Jazs, paying a phy- atcian . who prescribes ono Hungarian rhapsody, three times a day, aft r r meals. ; When William Congreve, the poet, asserted In verse that - "music hath charms to soothe the savage' beast," . ha unwittingly stated a scientific fact, according to modern .psychologists. Going s ill farther, the psycholo- gists declare that every kind of music 1 has Its own special sort of reaction, and to prove - thudr contention a test was 'made at Harvard University. With . Harvard and Radcliffe stu dent aa subjects, it was definitely es- tablished that various types of music register verying effects on human brings.- ' A a . result of these experiments, which are taking place throughout the country, it is belfcved that in the future music will have a definite place in the treatment of mental diseases. The work Is being carried on by of flciala'taC tht. Edison Phonograph com pany: under the immediate supervision of Thomas A. Edison and Professor Bingham, of Carnegie Institute. ' As the testa are made, ; the results are coveted at the Edison laboratories, .. thutatd and studied.

Five musiaa) Selections wen; prayed on u phonograph before the class and each student 'then described' on a chart his or her mood before the music begaln. ttat mooid with which, the music ended and the particular selections which had. affected the change. Professor Langfeld mhasized to the class the Importance which such a study may have on the treatment of nervous dis order!. IG I He Said Foreign Influences Are Trying To Sow Discord In "i -, the Nation. Philadelphia, April 7. A warning that . foreign influences, dangerous in their' tendencies, are again at work to weaken the close ties of friendship that ' bind us to those peoples beside whom we fought in the great war," was sounded here tonight by General John J. Pershing, who addressed two mass meetings in . the concluding exercises of all-American day. Praising the patrloism of foreign born . American citizens, whom he said toe had seen fight under the American . flag in the PhUlippines, In' Mexico and ; In France. General Pershing said that often? their enthusiasm for America has surpassed that of many native born, "who have not always lived up to th obligations of their birth." General Pershing reviewed the causes Which led to the United States entering the war "the onslaught of arrogant militarism supported by a certain dls ( loyal element here at home," and con jtlnued: ' ; "Nearly three year have passed and we again hear the murmur of disloyal ty.

Santiago, April S The South Amer ican countries will be commercial cli enta of the United States so long as they are not able to avail themselves of more advantageous markets, says the newspaper Ultimas Nnticias in an edi torial In which it asserts American goods "ordinarily are of inferior qual ity." The paper, sayg the war permitted the United States to enter into com mercial relations with the South Amer leans who "by force of necessity were obliged L to accept America's strange systems, diametrcally opposed to those that had been used by the great pro ducing nations of the old world." It is well known, the paper declares, that the methods employed by the North American exporter differ notaljly from those followed by the exporters of Great Britain and above all by Germany. "The American goods apart from be ing ordinarily of inferior quality are costly, the paper adds, "and in addi tion the goods are,ladly packed. This results in heavy losses. Moreover, the Americans do not conoede credit and if they do concede credit it is on terms little acceptable. Replying to tha newspaper's charges of inferority in American merchandise, a writer in the newspaper El Mer- curlo, signing himself "Chilean mer chant" says: "If American goods are consumed by 150,000,000 Americans and Canadians in fact by nearly half the population of the universe are you not able to be assured that American mer chandise' should be good enough for we South Americans?" Answering the newspaper's assertion that American export methods are en tirely different from ihose employed" by the Europeans, the "Chilean merchant says there are two reasons for this: First, because the Europeans have de monstrated that their system of sell ing has not proven beneficial since "it only has facilitated ficticious busi nesses without foundations, resulting largely in heavy losses through bad ar rangements or bankruptcies , and sec ondly, because the Europeans are not able today to extend long term credits. 50 Cases Thrown Out Greenville, S. C, April 7. The fed eral grand Jury here Joday threw out about 50 cases charg'ng violation of the selective service act. In which the men had been notified to report to the local board in November, 1918, but failed to do so because the armistice had lieen signed in the meantime. The grand Jury took the position, it was announced, that while there might have been a technical violation of the law, there was no wilful violation and the cases should not be prosecuted. Sen Elected President Honolulu, April 7.
