Saxophones Used
in Fight on Devil
The saxophone—“instrument of the
devil”—is being enlisted by the
churches in their fight on the devil, it
is indicated in advices reaching the
Cohn Music Center, Elkhart, Ind. All
saxophone quartettes and sextettes in
church and Sunday school are among
the ‘‘devil’s own weapons” being used
to win folks over to religion.
“Not so long ago it was quite com
mon for church people to shun the
mention of saxophone, let alone go to
bear one played,” says James F. Boy
er, supervisor of the Conn Music Cen
tef. “The sentiment seemed to be,
even among musicians, that the saxo
phone wasn't much good for but jazz,
and for a while it did appear that
the jazz artists were the only ones to
recognize and make use of this com
paratively new addition to the brass
Instrument family. Reports now com
ing in here, however, indicate a
changed attitude on the part of the
public. Artists know that the saxo
phone tones coxae nearest of all others
in resemblance to the human voice, and
recognize that there is nothing so beau
tiful musically as a saxophone solo.
11. Beane Denton, on. of iliu gxeafcgt
Bring masters of this instrument, claims
that no cleaner, more elevating or in
spirational music can come from any
instrument, and will not play anything
that has the slightest taint of jazz in
it. Saxophone quartettes and saxo
phone sextettes are winning a place
for themselves in churches, especially
those that cannot afford a pipe organ,
and other churches have found that
the appearance of an orchestra at
church functions Invariably draws in
creased attendance. This is indeed
fighting the devil with his own wea
pons.”

even the smallest of communities will
have its band,” says Mr. lnnes. “And
they will be capable organizations, too.
“Never lias there been such an indi
cation of a widespread interest in
band music?. A school is as proud
when their hand wins the state cham
pionship as they are when their foot
ball eleven cleans up on every other
aggregation in the section.
“The students are seeing music not
only as a cultural pastime, lull as the
possible key to a remunerative pro
fession.
“It is time tile tide was turning. A
year ago tlie average American spent
but 10 cents on band music, while
$1.50 was being spent on pianos, and
$1 on talking machines. Those figures
are due for material changes, and it
will be the boys of the land who will
change them."
Music for “Sissies”?
Listen to These Boys
Elkhart, Ind.—'The age-old conten
tion that boys consider music as some
thing for “sissies” is exploded in a
survey brought to light by the Conn
Music Center here.
More boys want to study music than
do girls, questions put to 5,000 chil
dren between the fourth and ninth
grades revealed. Forty per cent of
the boys announced a willingness to
study music if given an opportunity.
Thirty-seven per cent of the girls man
ifested interest.
Parental influence was seen in the
fact that while only IS per cent of the
musically interested expressed a pref
erence for the piano, 50 per cent were
studying that instrument. Only 12
per cent were interested in the violin,
yet 20 per cent were taking lessons on
the bow and fiddle.
The saxophone, tl*e banjo and the
cornet took honors for preference
among the boys. None studying these
instruments was dissatisfied. Among
the extremely young boys the lowly
harmonica ranked high.
To Spend Half Billion
on 1926 Music Lessons
Elkhart, Ind. —Half a billion dollars
will be spent by Americans for music
lessons between now and next
June, it is estimated by the Conn Mu
sic Center. The estimate based on
a statistical study by J. P. Piake of
St. Louis.
According to Mr. Blake, there are
256,000 teachers of music who regu
larly practice their profession in the
United States. These teachers aver
age 20 pupils each. Allowing an av
erage of two lessons a week for each
student fur the 25 weeks between now
and .Tune, means a total of 250,0»X\000
musiedesson hours, which at the av
erage fee of S 2 per hour, firings the In
come of the music teachers up to
§500,000,000. -
It’s All In the Price
—but Do You Get It?
Whether they are there or not,
you don’t see them when you
look at an automobile—those in
visible values which, without
adding to the cost of the car,
mean so much to satisfaction in
ownership.
Dealer responsibility, ample ser
vice facilities, the constant help
ful interest of the seller in the
satisfaction of the buyer—these ,
should be included in the price
of every car.
Here is one place where car buy
ers get them.
