GALE SWEEPS OVER
SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA

Los Angeles. Cal, Jan. IA thirty
four-mile gale. the severest known here
in sixteen years, swept over Southern
California to-day doing considerable
damage to the gyowing crops. and
causing a practical cessation Of shipping
along the coast. About Los Angeles It
took the form of a severe sandstone. and
the sky was darkened throughout the
day with clouds of dust and sand. Trees
were uprooted, and several frame build
ings blown down.
The principal damage to the fruit crops
was to the oranges. the high wind be-
ing general throughout the whole of the
citrus belt.
The effect, aside from knocking much
of the fruit from the trees, has been to
bruise the oranges. which will have the
result of reducing the grade. The dam
age cannot be estimated before the
oranges are picked and graded prepara-
tory to packing.

LECTURE ON MOZART
TO- ART SOCIETY
Daniel Gregory Mason Gives Third
of a Series of Talks
on Masters.

Daniel Gregory Mason gave the third
of his series of five lectures on The
Great Masters of Music" under the aus
pices OF the Washington Society OF Fine
Arts. in the assembly hall OF the New
National Museum last night Mozart
was the great master considered.
Mr.. Mason opened his lecture with a
few remarks on the problems OF art in
general. THE artists problem he said.

tween the too easily understood. the OBJ
vious, and the eccentric or stimulating

order. spice. variety. the stimulation

In music the chief types of variety are
rhythmic devices, such as syncopation
and shifted rhythm: harmonic variety.
such as meditation and the kaleidoSCo-
pic play of intervals. He also spoke of
the relation of Haydn to Mozart. Haydn,
who was Mozarts senior by twenty-four
years. had brought music to the point
of irregularity. that prepared il for the
kind of subtle instinct. sense Of beauty.
and delicacy of perception that Mozart
pre-eminently possessed. He spoke of
their influence upon each other: of Mo-
zart's debt to Haydn in structural form.
of Haydn's debt TO Mozart in finish and
wealth of detail.
Haydn learned from Mozart "a rounder
phrase. a richer harmonization, a fuller
command of the orchestra. Mozart
learned from Haydn a wider range Of
structure, gravity, and dignity OF eN-
preston" But Mozart, far the greater
genius of the two. added the wealth of
luxuriant imagination to the outline
which he inherited from the elder man.
Mr.. Mason gave a brief resume OF
Mozart's life; spoke of his delicate ply
steal and mental organization; OF his ex-
traordinary precocity; Of the marvellous
correctness of his ear. He dwelt upon
the duality Of the man and the musician.
Mozart The musician was a seer of
visions. a prophet: the man was COM
monplace. uninteresting, not studious,
not thoughtful, but convivial.
No beauty of rhythm or melody of
harmonious meditation escapes Mr..
Mason. and he has a happy homely IL
lustration to illuminate each detail. His
last illustration was the first movement
of the G Minor Symphony. in which he
called attention to the high contrast
between the second and first themes,
the transitions, usually new melodies;
Mozart's avoidance of the emptiness of
Haydn's subsidiary themes. Haydn's
themes were more or less perfunctory.
The working out of Mozart's themes
were more mastery. and of greater
variety and resourcefuIness.
In summing up. Mr.. Mason said that
perfection of structural form, combined
with melodic richness and suave diction.
wealth OF detail, elegance and polish,
without sign of labor, but full OF a fresh
spontaneity, distinguished Mozart's mu-
sic.
