WASHINGTON SYMPHONY
Directors Vote to Work for Per
manent Orchestra.

I" ihe Editor of The Star:
The article signed by Charles l. E.
Hendricks and published in Thursday =
Star Is most timely. and | wish TO add
my little say. The directors of the
Washington symphony Orchestra. at
their last meeting. voted to continue their
advocacy of permanent orchestra. and
with the object of an active campo ign
toward interesting all Washington in the
project Will soon issue circulars stating
clearly the potent reasons for establish
ing for all time an orchestra i'll the Ma
tioHai Capital second to none.
Nature lily. the trend toward things civic
has been more OF less transient. but III
the last few wears the minds of congress-
men and business men alike. have awah-
ened to the fact that the beauties and
the institutions of Washington reflect Inc
standards OF the people of the whole
country. Then why neglect one of the
most efiicacious means of education and
pleasure? There is one argument against
a permanent orchestra i'll Washington
which s-bein9 openly expressed by some
musicians. but we believe these same
musicians are unWittingly selfish in their
compiacency in being able 10 hear two or
three good orchestras a season; this
brings us TO the point.
BY all means let Us have the Boston
and the philharmonic oEchestraS-tWo OF
the best III the country; and ii the general
PUBIC can sun dllOIu tichetS
let US have more Of the same class. But
what of the school children. the man and
woman of small means and smaller OPP
portunity with a strong desire for the ar
tistic in their natures? The people of
Europe from childhood hear the best
music at moderate prices. while here in
America the opportunities are so costly
that we attend Il concert with awe of a
personality in OUR minds rather than awe
of the composers accomplishment in con-
struction, harmony and color,
Cooperation Is Needed
The prices of the tickets for the Wash
ington Symphony Orchestra will afford
all classes an opportunity to hear the
worlds best music, and it needs only the
cooperation of the people of Washing
ton with the directors in raising this per
manent fund. which will assure proper
rehearsals and performance for we nave
in Heinrich Hammer a symphony di-
rector of European reputation-a man
who has established and maintained in
several of the larger cities of Europe Or

We feel confident that it requires only. the
proper presentation of the idea of per-
manent fund for the maintenance of a
symphony orchestra to arouse all Wash
ington. from the school child to the bUsi-
ness man. TO full appreciation of the
educational. artistic and civic value of
such an organization.

SAYS PHONE COST IS HIGH.
Mr.. Lewis Again Argues for Govern
ment Ownership of Lines.

Representative Lewis of the sixth
Maryland district made a second arsu-
ment for, the acquisition of telephone lines
in this country yesterday afternoon in
the House. He declared that the recent
agreement between the Department of
Justice and the American Telephone and
Telegraph Company, designed to restore
competition in the. telephone service.
would not improve present conditions.
Mr. Lewis holds that in this country prl-
vate telephone service costs too much
and is comparatively inefficient.

Europe Gets It's Share.

OF the quantity produced, apparently

the equivalent of SO grams of hydrous
radium bromide, was shipped to Europe,
and 1915 tons, containing the equivalent
Of 81 grams of hydrous radium bromide.

ducers for foreign trade. did little work
for more than half the year. owing. it is
reported. to the fact that its factory in
Liverpool had not been completed. Had
the factory come into operation sooner
the exports would have been consider
ably larger.
A prominent feature of uranium and
vanadium production during the year
was the change in method of payment
by American buyers. who no longer paid
for the vanadium content in the ore, but
bought it on the basis of the uranium
oxide content alone. though they received
payment for the vanadium abroad. How
ever. the miner received more or less
compensation in a higher price for the
uranium oxide he sold. Prices varied
greatly and returns to the survey show
that the price per pound for contained
uranium oxide ranged from 81 for ores
carrying o.6 per cent uranium oxide to
S4.G0 for one lot carrying ::.l5 per cent
uranium oxide and 4.s2 per cent wanna
dunn oxide
The demand for carnottte at increasing
prices caused large amount of pros
pecting. and the carnotite- bearing area
was shown to extend from the Paradox
country westward into the Dry valley
region of Utah. living between Monticello
and the Id Sal mountains. Farther west
and south deposits of carnotite were
found on Crescent and Trachyte creeks,
III the Henry mountains. and also south
west of the mountains.
