Prefers A Sousa March

Prof. Lockwood, of the School of Music, in speaking of his Washington visit, says that he thinks President Roosevelt would prefer a march of Sousa's to a symphony of Beethoven. In other words, according to the standard of the musicians, President Roosevelt is not especially a musical man. Symphonies are not strenuous enough for him.

On the other hand, Mrs. Roosevelt is musical. She is responsible for the series of concerts given at the White House of classical music. She was the first of the ladles of the White House to institute such concerts, which are common in European courts.

Prof. Lockwood has played before the Roosevelts twice. Six years ago, whein the President was governor of New York, he played for them and the only time he saw Roosevelt grow enthusiastic over any music was when he played a rhapsody from Liszt. The then governor came over to him exclaiming: "Do play that over again. That's fine."

Prof. Lockwood says the President looks much more serious, more grave, than he did six years ago. The professor was shocked at the change in Mrs. Roosevelt. Six years ago she was fresh. Now she wears a very tired look. The social cares of her position evidently wear heavily upon her.
