The Motel Choir. an independent organi-
cation of mixed voices, which gives It's
first invitation concert at the Continental
Memorial Hall Wednesday evening, takes
it's name from the classical form of the
Motel. which was the vehicle of musical
expression of many composers of the six
teenth. seventeenth. and eighteenth CEN
turtles.
Among the Italians Palestrina was pre-
eminent in this musical art form; among
the German. Bach and Keyser; among
the English. Byrd and Orlando Gibbons.
TIE word Choir" is used In the sense as
understood in England, meaning any body
Of singers. not necessarily connected with

cations in England making study of

ciety. founded in 1877, and the Bach Choir,
directed for many years BY DR. Otto
Goldschmidt. the husband of Jenny Lind.
The Washington organization does not,

forms, but includes those modern COM

Nature seems to have provided ex.
ceptional means for reducing the baby
hood-the helpless period-of the birds
to a minimum. thereby decreasing the
likelihood Of their destruction by their
several natural enemies. This safe
guard lies chiefly in the enormous eat
ing capacity Of the newly hatched
birds, three or four nestlings keeping
both parent birds busy from daylight
until dark stufing their uplifted and
gaping mouths. This large consump-
ton Of food results in a like prodigious

Beyond treating dirt roads at the
right time and keeping them well
crowned so as 10 shed rainfall quickly
there is probably no factor that will
tend better to keep them in good con
dition than the use Of broad tired
wagons in place Of the narrow tired
ones which have been IN so general
use in the past. There is always a
period when a road has been worked
into shape, but has not been packed
down hard, when a narrow tired wagon
heavily loaded will undo much OF the
work. The same thing is true during
rainy seasons, whea the road, however
well graded, becomes soft. Whatever
the season. the broad tired wagon has
a decided advantage over the narrow
in keeping the roads in good condition
