Goldsmith’s Simplified Method of Time and Music 187 East Fair Street Atlanta, Ga. Have you read or heard of E. M. Goldsmith’s wonderful discovery of counting time. This method is com piled in book form, and is made so clear and understandable that a per son without any musical knowledge whatever can learn to count time with this method. For instance this book starts with a measure without a note and ex plains what a measure is, after which illustrations in the various times are thoroughly explained, and counted in the original form of counting. Three measure illustrations are given throughout the book. The purpose of the three measures is to make sure thepupil understands. After the original has been ex plained and counted, sixteen rules are laid down in simple form to simp lify the more difficult passages. ll ustartions have been selected from classic which if were counted in the original . would be very . difficult These illustrations are explained and counted the simplified way, and should the performer miss a note in an effort to get the time and no tation, he or she would know it by the sayings in the count. Good for a beginner, better for one who has already studied. The purpose of this method, is to make sight reading in playing or singing easier. This is a simplified method of time, therefore simple words are used in the count to convey the idea. One hundred and thirty different illustrat ions with three measures to each il lustration, besides sixteen rules are given in this book.

Since many of the plans were the composite work of organizations, universities, etc., a single plan often represented the views of hundreds or thousands of individuals. The content of these plans is therefore an index of the true feeling and judgment of hundreds of thousands of American citizens. These plans come from every group in American life. Somo are obviously from lifelong students of history and international law. Some are from per sons who have studied little, but who have themselves seen and felt the horror of .war —or who are even now living out its tragedy. But among them all are these dom inant currents: that. If war is hon estly to be prevented, there must be a face-about on the part of the nations in their attitude toward it; that by some progressive agreement the man ufacture and purchase of the muni tions of war must be llHited or stop ped; that while no political mechan ism alone will insure cooperation among the nations, there must be some machinery of cooperation if the will to cooperate is to be made effec tive; that mutual counsel among the nations is the real hope for bringing about the disavowal of war by the open avowal of its rest! causes and open discussion of them; and finally that there must be some means of defining, recording, Interpreting and developing the law of nations. Statement of Jury of Award The Jury of Award realizes that there Is no one approach to world peace, and that It Is necessary to rec ognize not merely political but also psychological and economic factors. I. ENTER THE PERMANENT COURT That the United States adhere to the Permanent Court of Interna tional Justice for the reasons and under the conditions stated by Secre tary Hughes and President Harding In February, 1923. 11. COOPERATE WITH THE LEAGUE OF NATIONS, WITHOUT FULL MEMBERSHIP AT PRESENT That without becoming a member of the League of Nations as at present constituted, the United States Government should extend Its present cooperation with the League and propose participation In the work of Its Assembly and Council under the following conditions and reservations: , . . Safeguarding of Monroe Doctrine 1. The United States accepts the League of Nations as an Instrument of mutual counsel, but it will assume no obligation to interfere with political questions of policy or internal administration of any foreign state. \ In uniting Its efforts with those of other States for the preser vation of peace and the promotion of the common welfare, the TJuited States insists ypon the safeguarding of the Monroe Doc trine and does not abandon it* traditional attjtude cohcernjM American independence of the Old World and does not consent to submit its long established policy concerning questions regarded by It as purely American to the recommendation or decision of other Powers. A ,. 1 .r vy , No Military or Economic Force . « 2. That the only kind of compulsion which nations can freely engage to apply to each other in the name of Peace Is that which arises from conference, from moral judgment, from full publicity, and from the power of public opinion. The United States would assume no obligations under Article X in its present form, or under Article XVI in its present form in the Covenant, or in its amended form as now proposed, unless in any particular case Congress has authorized such action. The United States proposes that Articles X and XVI be either dropped altogether or so amended and changed as to eliminate any suggestion of a general agreement to use coercion for obtain ing conformity to the pledges of the'Covenant. No Obligations Under Versailles Treaty 3. That the United States will accept no responsibilities under tha Treaty of Versailles unless in any particular case Congress has authorized such action. League Open to All Nations 4. The United States Government proposes that Article lof the Cove nant be oonetrued and applied, or, if necessary, redrafted, so that admission to the League shall be assured to any self-governing State that wishes to join and that receives the favorable vote of two-thlrda of the Assembly. Development of International Law 6. As a condition of Its participation In the work and counsels of the League, the United States asks that the Assembly and Connell eon •eot —or obtain authority—Ho begin collaboration for the revision and development of International law, employing for this purpose the aid of a commission of jurists. This Commission would be directed to formulate anew existing rules of the law of nations, to reconcile divergent opinions, to consider points hitherto inade quately provided for but vital to the maintenance of international justice, and in general to define the social rights .and duties of States. The recommendations of the Commission would be pre sented from time to time, in proper form for consideration, to the Assembly as to a recommending If not a law making body.

The only possible pathway to inter national agreement with reference to these complicated and difficult fac tors is through mutual counsel and cooperation which the plan selected contemplates. It Is therefore the unanimous opinion of the Jury that of tho 22,165 plans submitted, Plan Number 1469 is “the best practicable plan by which the United States may co-operate with other nations to achieve and preserve the peace of the world.” It is the unanimous hope of the Jury that the first fruit of the m.utual coun sel and cooperation among the nations which will result from the adoption of the plan selected will be a general prohibition of the manufacture and sale of all materials of war.

TWO DEAD AND THREE JAILED IN FIGHT OVER LIQUOR Villa Rica, Ga., January 10.—Three farmers, well known in this section, are in jail in Carrollton, and two others, brothers, are dead as the re sult of a fight six miles north of here in Paulding county, just after dark last night. *" A dispute over stolen whiskey was given as tho cause of -the tragedy. It was an nounced that n-T inquest was neces sary, John Norton, forty-seven years old, and hi 3 son, a young man of twenty-one, together with Clyde Hancock, were taken to the Carroll county jail by Sheriff Braswell Boyd. It is understood that Hancock is held as a material witness, he having seen the fight. Homer Brown, twen ty-two, and his brother, Ernest, twenty-one, were buried today near New Georgia church, six miles of here, rear the Browns’ home. John Norton already was under bond on a whisky charge. WORK AS A REJUVENATOR. Thomas A. Edison, who will be seventy-seven years old on the 11th of next month, was seen the other day by a reporter, who handed him a questionnaire containing this query: “Are you still a two-shift man, work ing sixteen hours and sleeping about four when you get a chance?” The inventor, pictured as "a leonine fig ure of a man, as virile as an athlete in his forties,” answered: “I still work two shifts to prese”ve my health and entice my subconscious mind to be interested in this world with no desire to quit.” There is a lesson in Edison’s ex perience and in his manner which, it would be well for all adults to con sider. It is work, he indicates, that keeps him healthful of bod/ and youthful of spirit. Idleness, it is in ferred, would in Edison’s opinion have the contrary effect. That this is true in many cases can be vouched for by those who have seen men, on retii’ing from business, age rapidly, wither away and die. It was lack of occupation as much as anything else that caused their decadence. Life lost its interest for them when they gave up their work, and lacking the will to live, they gave Up the ghost. The old men who are most youth ful in their ways are constantly at work on something—they are inter ested in a thousand and one things. Georges Clemenceau who, though six years older than Edison, is about to make a trip to Japan, is another dis tinguished example of the truth of this. The influence of one’s mental con dition on one’s bodily health is not clearly understood, but there un doubtedly is some connection be tween the two. The man who is cheerful has, other things being equal, a better chance of attaining a ripe old age than the discontented one. And work, if it has to do with something interesting, is great pro moter of cheerfulness. If one’s work is drudgery it is incumbent to find some other kind. The main point to be considered is that one should at all times have an agreeable occupa tion, so that the mind may have no leisure to brood over unpleasant things. It is for this reason that hobbies are to be recommended. [ Normal human beings ought to have no difficulty in finding interest ing things to keep them busy. Com pared with what yet remains to be learned, only the surface of the vast field of science has been scratched. Edison knows considerably more about scientific subjects than most of us, but finds sixteen hours a day none too many for the continuance of his studies and experiments. It Is not necessary to travel to see and learn new things. Immanuel Kant, one of the wisest of men, was never during his eighty years of life farther than forty miles from his birthplace. He craved universal knowledge and read nearly every thing he his hands on; and through intense interest in life and all of its manifestations he retained youthfulness of spirit just as Edison is doing. A man,of many years whose mind is occupied with interesting pursuits is not much concerned over his age and, after all, as someone has said, one is no older than one feels. Page Three
