eS THE USHAWA DAILY TIMES, SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 23, 1929 PAGE NINETEEN Railway Ottawa, Ont.; Feb. 22.--~The rail- way terminals situation in Montreal must be faced "and faced in a rath- er large way in the very near fu- ture," Hon. Charles A. Dunning, minister of Railways and Canals, informed the House of Commons, recently, The minister was speaking d continued debate on the re- solution of D, F. Kellner (U. F. A. Athabaskn) which calls upon the government to consider making o further federal grant for the next five years' highway construction. Mr. Dunning drew attention to the fact that Canada was the owner of a | large railway transportation system, and that its needs must be considered when large expenditures Terminals Situation... In Montreal "Must be Faced" from the federal treasury on high- ways were contemplated. He did not want himself placed on record as being opposed to the construction of a national highway. Mr. Dunning stressed the point that the provinces themselves pre- fer increased subsidies to grants which are earmarked for some specific purpose, such as highway construction. They were opposed to government grants with strings at- tached. . Later debate was productive of an amendment from A. M. Car- michael . (Progressive-Kindersley) which favoured the construction of a national highway from coast to coast as soon as possible. UKELELE REPLACED BY SAXOPHONE LELE RENEW YORK'S YOUNGER SET New York. -- The ukelele has gone the way of all fads. One may look forward to a summer min- us the tinkling of "Aloha O" thru- out a ferry ride and a night's attempt te slumber. The college boy no longer considers the ukulele an indispensable part of his equipment for higher learning. The high school girl has shelved her "uke" with her slave bracelet. The manager of a large musical {fstrumént store reports that the sale of "ukes" has. become stand- ardized. The manufacturing of the {nstrument has dropped to its old form. This might be consoling news in some quarters except for the ad- ditional information that the saxo- phone has taken the place of the "uke". No matter how painful saxo- phony :may be to your tympanum you will have to grin and bear it. For the "sax" to-day takes the lead in the sales of musical instru- ments and its popularity increases daily."

The sax and the reed, the drum of the ear- liest days and the drum of the present age-have not outgrown their respective primal character- istics. If "Rudy" Wiedoeft had not for- saken the clarinet to devote his life to a saxophone the musically- minded might have continued to find joy in their ukuleles., "Rudy" devotion was intensive. When he found the sax luring him away from the clarinet he studied the former's faults and virtues. With them in mind, he talked to a man- ufacturer of musical instruments. After the conversation "Rudy" was sent to the manufacturing plant to find out what he could ao to make more mellifluous the last three or four notes of the saxo- phone, which, since it was invent- ed by Mr. Sax, a Belgian of the eighteen hundreds, had been an earache, Eighty years before "Rudy's" experiments began the double key had been eliminated and one key had been mrade the route to anoth- er octave. "Rudy" emerged from his labors with the type of saxo- phone now most sought. It had five keys that had not existed be- fore on a sax stem and a few cur- ves that softened the balky lower notes. Paul Whiteman surprised an audience in Carnegie Hall not so long ago in a number he called "Free Afr," One of the instru- ments was a bicycle pump from which was extracted sixty bars of musical notes. Then, again, a music faddist obtained an intreview with a man- ufacturer of musical instruments and suggested that a number of instruments be made to carry a new scale of quarter notes. The nranufacturer tried to show the man that such a venture would be a financial loss. "There are already twelve types of saxophones, five of flutes. elev- en: of trumpets, fifty of harmon. fcas, fifteen of accordions, eight of banjos. six of cornets, six of ba- lalaikas, eight of sarrusophones, nine ,of mandoline, four of oboes "Stop!" wailed the faddist. Musical instruments of all kinds have not changed in pitch and have been altered very little in form in all -the decades of their manufacture. Even the sax, with its silver neck, its five new keys and the Wiedoeft curves, is not much different from Mr. Sax's lanky conical instrument. BRACKEN WINS Winnipeg, Feb. 22.--Premier Bracken yesterday won the first round in his fight for a breathing spell to mend his political fences when, by a vote of 28 to 22, the Legislature carried the First Min- ister"s motion to adjourn until Friday afternoon.

NATIVE CHIEFTAIN MUST GO TO JAIL Apia, British Samoa, Feb, 23.-- Tamasese, native chieftain and leader of the Mau', an opposition organization of natives otherwise known as the Samoe Native League must spend six months in a New Zealand jail.

PROMINENT BRITONS URGE LEGALIZING SERILIZATION London, Feb. 22.--A number of leading physicians, bishops and other prominent persons, alarmed by the results of marfiages of men- tally deficient and diseased per- sons in Britain, have urged the ministry of health to initiate an official inqury into the possibility and advisabilty of legalizing ster- lization of the unfit. Yesterday's newspaper carried at some length the appeal of those backing the movement, who include several prominent women. 'They cite the fact that similar legislation has been passed in some states of the United States and in some Eu- ropean countries, PICKERING Pickering, Feb, 21.--Miss J.

J, Sidey was turned over by the authorities to Provin- cial Officer Mitchell, and county constable Chester, who held a war- rant for his arrest on a charge of stealing chickens from the farm of Henry Marks, Pickering Township.
