They were carried to Virginia in the prison ships by. Scotch and English. refugees after the restoration of Charles II; while the Hugenots, in flight from France, carried them to North Carolina. As these pioneers forged their way into the mountainous regions of the new world, their songs sustained them among natural hardships. . Centuries passed and in the isolated mountain regions, especially those of Alabama, the songs lived on with out competition, handed down. like hierlooms from father to son. Today the hymns are the same as they were 300 years ago. Supervised musical training among the mountaineers, did not begin until about 1860, when M. L. Swan, an itinerant music master, settled in Jackson County, Tennessee. He is said to have used a _ seven. sharp “Harp of Columbia’’ in setting the pitch for his choristers. From this ‘novel instrument, the singers‘in Jasper derived :their designation as “Greek Harp Singers.” This organization gave its first public concert in 1873. In 1909, a state wide organization of ‘‘white spiritual’’ singers was formed under the name of the Alabama State Sacred Harp Musical Association. It has now 110 ~ SUNG BY WHITES LUCKY JANE PROPERTY ito drift in an 1800 foot tunnel on the. Lucky Jane mining property. at North Bloomfield,was a_ business visitor in Nevada City yesterday. With his partner, Joe Fahne,‘ he has made considerable progress in their 600 foot contract. The company expects to cut an old-river channel at the end of the projeted 2,400 foot tunnel. Southern California interests are developing the property. gates to take part in the three day “sing” at Birmingham. The Association not only keeps alive the ancient hymns, but also the traditions of the music classes of other days. Seated about a large table, the singers are directed by a concert master. who uses a pitch pipe to strike the lead notes. They ‘first intone their ‘‘so-lo-fa’s’ and then join in singing the words. The writer who looked up the activities of the Association in-preparing articles on Alabama for the American Guide —the government’s forthcoming 5volume travel handbook — learned that only the old hymns handed down by the followers of Cromwell, Calvin and de la Motte are used in concert programs. The reason that these are called ‘‘White Spirituals”’ is to distinguish them from the far more widely known colored spirituals. Some of the ‘‘White Spirituals’’ are widely known by old American families, though not under that classification. In many a home. of the land, Grandma’s musical repertoire includes the antique favorite, ‘“‘Paradise,’’ which begins: “There is a land of pure delight, Where saints immortal reign; Infinite day excludes the night, And pleasures banish pain, and pleasures banish pain.’’ community groups under its. wing.

FOR CHRONIC SPEEDERS SAN FRANCISCO, March §27.— Persons who are obviously unfit. to drive an automobile or who repeatedly and chronically defy or ignore public safety mechanisms and regulations, should be subjected to a mental and physical examination. This is the openion of Dr. E. W. Twitchell, clinical professor of neuropsychiatry of the University of California Medical School. According to Dr. Twitchell it would not be practicable, to subject every driver or prospective driver to such an examination, but it certainly should be done in the case of those who persistently defy necssary driving restrictions and menace the lives and limbs of others. According to Dr. Twitchell automobile mortality and accident situation may be expected to become much worse before the people of the. relief. The number of incompetents now driving cars is constantly on the increase, and it is presumed that this number must increase to the saturation point of human tolerance and endurance before there is a change. Dr. Twitchell states he has occasionally found it necessary to submit reports to the State Division of Motor Vehicles regarding patients who wre obviously unfit to drive. In one instance, he said he obtained eancellation of the license of one insane man who was being permitted to operate his car freely on crowded streets and highways. Another taxicab driver in one of the San Mateo peninsula towns who was suffering from a severe nervous complaint also came to his attention, and he has warned a number of. epileptics and members of their families that these sick persons should not drive an automobile.
