Muzio-Middleton Concert.

Scarcely could conditions have been
more favorable for the opening Of the
1911-1S musical season in Washington
than found yesterday by Claudia Muzio
and Arthur Middleton. who were the
principals in concert No of T.
Arthur Smiths ten-star course. The
sunshine of a mid-autumn afternoon,
together with the well known achieve
ments of those to participate, was all
that was needed to fill the National
Theater with music lovers.
The program was most excellently
arranged 1t afforded a number of
opera arias. French and Italian songs
and English ballads. The latter. in a
large part, included settings of well
known poems Of Kiplings.
Claudia Muzio. with soldier-like. cap
and swagger stick, "a la militaire," the
only reminder Of war times save the
dience INN ediately with her youthful
bouyancy and charming manner. Her
voice, clear and bell like, rang out to
best advantage in italian opera. Her
rendition of three French songs and a
group of English songs especially
"Ecstacy," by Rummel and AT Dawn
ing" by Cadman, sung as an encore,
was beautiful, but she seemed as one
having returned home when in the
midst of an aria in her native tongue.

tone of great range, clearly demon
strated that he is master of his art
Seldom is such a versatile singer heard

matte effect to his songs. Two Handel

and Where Fer You Walk" the former

calization and the latter Astounding in
tenderness. were interesting numbers
and most beautiful was the Italian
song. "Povero Marinar." by Mililotti
Sidney Homers Uncle Rome" Mr.. Mid
dleton's first encore selection, was sung
with a pathos that brought forth many
a tear.
In good taste the closing number was
a duet. "Vendella," from the third act
of "Rigoletto." wherein Miss Muzio's
! soprano had another chance to- soar in
| opera, and Mr.. Middleton's temperament
appeared to advantage as the foolish
ness of a court Jester gives way to the
serious vein of fatherly love.
The work of both Mr.. Gennaro Pap
and Mr.. Rodney Saylor as accompanies
was adequate to the demand, which was
very exacting in most of the numbers

Every epoch finds the truth which
marks that period Of history expressed
in the personality Of a great leader. At
this moment Woodrow Wilson is the
recognized embodiment Of the principles
Of democracy and the kaiser of au-
tocracy. The campaign for conserving
the provisions Of America SO that the
allies may be fed is incarnated in Hoov-
or. The man for the hour, like Wilson
and Hoover. has always been prepared
for that epoch making crisis by the
lord. God never trains two men alike.
He seeks to develop personalities SO
that the message which will move men

and to do it," was educated in the
schools of Babylon during the period
that followed the return of the Jews
under Zerrubabel to Jerusalem from
their Babylonian captivity.
The Scripture Is silent concerning the
experiences Of the exiles, who returned
to Palestine under the provisions OF the
proclamation of Cyrus. for a period Oh
nearly nifty years. The temple had been
rebuilt. but the priyations. poverty and
perils OF the Jewish people had caused
a religious reaction which sixty years
after the returning pilgrims turned

SAVES ZINC AND TIN FOIL.
How 12-Year-0ld Boy Managed to
Buy Liberty Bond.

How twelve-year-o American boy
stuck to his determination to purchase
liberty bond and finally won out was
told today. Alex Gregory is his name,
and he purchased a bond of the first
loan out of money he had saved from
selling old newspapers. tinfoil and zinc
When the second loan came along
Alex had only $50, which he had earned
during the summer His school was soon
to start, and he did not see how he
would be able to get the other $40 re-
quired. So he went to his father to bor-
row the money, promising to pay him
back. But his father said that unless
he was sure he could pay he should
not promise. Last night he brought his
father the news that his teacher at
school had secured him a job after
school hours. He got the money and
the bond.
