Fiddlers Play|
With Rattles
Twenty-one snake rattles and
a button are removed from
mountain fiddle by Professor
Cadek.
By MARIO COLEMAN
.AP Features
CHATTANOOGA. Tenn., —
(AP)—“The method of telling a
violin from a fiddle is simple,”
says Professor Harold Cadek.
head of the Cadek Conservatory
of Music of the University of
Chattanooga.
“If it doesn’t rattle when it is
shaken then it is a violin and al
ways has belonged to a city
slicker.”
The rattle, Cadek explains,
came originally from a rattle
snake and was put inside the fid
dle in accordance with hill-billy
superstition, presumably to im
prove the tone of the instrument.
Recently Professor Cadek found
the daddy of them all—21 rat
tles and a button clicking around
in an old fiddle. %
Several old-time fiddlers on lo
cal radio programs were agreed
as to the importance of the rattle
charm.
“A car ran over my fiddle not
long ago,” said one fiddler. ‘‘And
the man that fixed it lost my
rattle and I’ve lost my touch and
I been lookin’ for a doggone rat
tlesnake ever since.”
‘The only practical use I can
think of,” Prof. Cadek said, “is
that the rattle in rolling around j
inside would keep the dust from !
collecting on the wall of the in-!
strument.”

CHAMBER OF
COMMERCE
HOLDS MEETING
The general meeting of the
board of directors, members and
i
the general public interested in
the development of Northwestern
Alaska, met in the U. S. Court
house, Monday, November 29, at
8:00 p. m. The meeting was called
to order by Vice President Frank !
Whaley, with A. Polet, secretary.
After the reading of the min- i
utes of the meeting of September
29. under communicaitons, the
letter from the Alaska Territor
ial Chamber of Commerce was
read in which the request was i
made to reply on three questions
submitted to-wit: First, "Is your
Chamber in favor of statehood
for the Territory?" Second. “Do
you favor election of the gover
nor of Alaska " Third, "Are you
in favor of the ear..est feasible
construction of an Aiafwan high
way connecting with the Pacific
coast states?” Under the cail tor
reports of committees. Honorable
O. D. Coohran, chairman of the
legilotive committee of the
Chamber, reports that ti.e in
ject of statehood ref: rred *: r.
committee was considered and
owing to the fact that the prom
ised new bill has not at this
date been introduced into the
Congress of the United States and
the other bills introduced in the
last session of Congress being
now dead the committee recom- •
mends that the matter be held m
abeyance until the bill is intro
ducd and a copy of same is ob
tained for study. On motion the
report of the committee was un
animously adopted.
The second question being
brought up for consideration. it
was generally on ciLseussion, al
most all present expressed their
opinion of being in favor of the
election of a governor by the peo
ple, stating that we are entitled
to recognition and that it is a
very democratic act to do so.
Leonard Smith, in his talk, re
marked that in his opinion, should
Governor Gruening offer himself
as candidate, that he is sure that
there is no one in Alaska that
could defeat him in the election.
On the question being put. the I
motion was unanimously carried.
The third question was taken
up and after much discussion and
no one present being acquainted
with the several routes proposed,
and being so far and so remote
from our section, it was decided ,
not to take any action but wait |
until more data can be botained. :
Secretry Polet brought up the
quesion of a tuberculosis hospital j
and read extracts from the Jun- i
ta- Empire and the Nome N-g
get in relation to the proposed
building of the two sanitariums,
each to be completed with at lea'*.
200 beds a: a total cost of betwe- n
four million dollars and' five
million dollars. One t< be Beated
in Juneau and tue other at eitner
Nome Fa.rbanks or Amchcrag*
The latter hospital to be pnmar
ily for Eskimos. A general d -
cussion -Ssued and everyone wa
c f the opinion that Nome or some
part of Seward Peninsula she -.ci
be selected for the sanitarium On
