OVERFLOW GRO WD AT COMMUNITY SING
Orchestra Played an Entire Symphony for the First
 Time in City

Yesterdays community concert at the Bijou-the twenty-third commu- nity event, counting from the first given at Capitol park early in June was the best of all. The programme with two special features-the com bined Ens1ey and Central high school Glee clubs and the members of the Treble Clef chorus Of the Music Study club, each in double number, was exceptionally attractive.
 The Philharmonic orchestra, under the conductorship of Philip Memoli, was in excellent form. It played an entire symphony-Haydn's Surprise" and the fine rendition of this clas- sic work was indeed an achievement of which all musical Birmingham could well feel proud.
 The first movement, as beautiful as it is difficult, puts any thigh class or chestra on its mettle but the Phil harmonic was fully equal to the task. It was read with clarity, while in dy- namics and rhythmic grace 1t meas ured fully up to accepted traditions. The andante was heard a few weeks ago. It captivated the audience then, but was even more entrancing in its dainty passages yesterday afternoon. The third movement was in the form
 
 and tuneful and last-an allegro-like the first movement difficult, was played with good style and spirit. The symphony was generously applauded.
 The orchestra's other numbers were Dvorals ever popular "Humoreske, Chopin's prelude, opus 2S--dear to all pianists and lovers of music in gen. eral-and Tobani's Hungarian Fan tasia.
 ff1t.~ s.;, <xYa nHt, ,hc Ktffd directing, and Miss Virginia Handley at the piano, acquitted themselves well. Tn fact, this organization was one of the most enjoyable male choruses heard here in long time.
 The Music Study clubs Treble clef, Mrs Newman at the piano. sang two short compositions of rare artistic inertia "Portuguese Folk Song," with Mrs. Strickland soloist. and Fay Eos ter's prize composition. "In the Car penter's Shop" a story of Mary, the mother of Jesus. This new work is very appealing. It is full of pathos and tears but 1t is beautiful through out It was admirably. sung.
 The songs for ''eyerybody" included "Old Black Joe" and one of the espe- cially happy features of 1t was in the singing of the refrain with proper phrasing and shading by the colored people in the gallery. Director Law renee showed that he was delighted and when he called upon the colored mezzo soprano endowed with a voice rich in quality and sympathetic, to sing the first verse the vast crowd in the balcony and parquet listened with rapt attention. The colored contingent made q pronounced hit, and received tumultuous applause.
 Ushers at the Bijou reported that hundreds of people were turned away yesterday because there was not even standing room after the concert started.

Combing Won't Rid
Hair OF Dandruff

The only sure way to get rid of dand-
ruff is to dissolve it, then you destroy it
entirely. To do this, get about four
ounces of ordinary liquid arvon; apply
it at night when retiring; use enough to
moisten the scalp and rub it in gently
with the finger tips.
Do this tonight, and by morning most,
if not all, of your dandruH will be gone,
and three or four more applications will
completely dissolve and entirely destroy
every single sign and trace of it no
matter how much dandruf you may
have.
You viii find, too, thu all itching and
digging OF the scalp will stop at once,
and your hair will be fluffy, lustrous.
glossy, silky and soft, and look and feel
a hundred times better.
You csn get liquid arvon at any drug
store 1t is inexpensive and never fails
to do the work

FROST PROOF
CORN is NEXT
Possibilities Of Such Grain is Held
Out by United State De.
partment Of A0ri-
culture.

WASHINGTON, April 1s.-In this
age of wonderful achievements,
frost-proof corn is among the pos
sibilities Of attainment. When
corn is bred that will Withstand spring
and fall frosts and grow at low
Temperatures, like rye, the reign and
territory of King Corn will be ex-
tended and his powers increased.
Recent work Of the office Of corn
Investigations, bureau of plant indus
try. United States department OF
agriculture, indicates the possibility
of producing varieties that will con
tinue growth at low temperatures.
Some kinds of corn have been found
to withstand freezing, both in the
spring and in the fall, and afterwards
continue to grow. Still more en-
couraging Is the fact that some in
dividual plants of these hardy var
ieties are more enduring than other
plants Of the same variety.
At the first signs Of spring, with
patches of snow still on the ground,
seed of these varieties has been
planted and has shown ability to with
stand frozen ground and spring frosts
and ultimately to yield well. Planted
in February, 1917, plants which were
several inches high withstood freeze
of March 5, which froze the ground
to a depth of two inches.
Of still more Importance than the
possibility of producing frost-proof
corn is the possibility of producing
varieties Of corn that will continue
to thrive and produce grain at lower
temperatures than existing varieties.
There is much territory with long
frost-free periods, where, during
nights or for several weeks during
the growing season, temperatures re-
main too low for ordinary varieties Of
corn to grow.
