Victor Records for Next
Month Full of Patriotism

Patriotism of the universal kind,
is the keynote of the issue Of Victor
records for January. Caruso, fired
with passion for his native land,
sings Garabaldi's hymn, while the
Zionist movement is interpreted by
Gluck and Zimbalist in the Zionist
hymn, "Hatikva,' (Our Hope.) The
Duet of the Flowers from Madam
Butterfly, Pucinnl's opera is given
by Frances Aida and Sophie Bras
lau, and Aida also appears in the
Aria of The Sweetest Maiden"
from La Bofeme. The Elman
String quartet interpret the witchery
Of Tschaikowski's "Andante Canta-
bile" John Mccormick sings with
wonderful richness and fervor,
when You Come Back" and Err
nestine Schumann-Heink renders
Onward Christian Soldiers with
wonderful fervency and inspiration.
dreaming of Home, Sweet Home"
when Tony Goes Over the Top,
"The Americans Come" Il can
Always Find a Little Sunshine in
tn Y. NJ. C. A." are among the no.
table vocal records.
If half the pleasure in dance mu-
sic depends on the way it is played
you know the reason for the popu-
larity of Joseph c. Smiths orches-
ira, which, fortunately, all devotees
Of the dance may enjoy by means OF
Victor records. One of the latest
records that this orchestra has made
is "Mary"-a fox-trot with song
in it, which is equivalent to saying
a dance number with a kick in it. By
the time the singing starts you'll be
ready to sing, too-it's the kind to
make you want to.

JUDGE SCORES
S0RDID DETAILS
OF DW0RAK CASE
Woman Given Divorce and
Custody Of the Child on
Grounds of Cruelty;
Boy Real Tragedy.

Judge Day in district court, when
passing judgment in the Dworak
divorce case, scored the introduction
of sordid details into this class of
trials, and he took occasion to ex-
press his views on some of the
phases of compatibility in the do
mestic relations.
He awarded Mrs. Marie Dworak
the decree of divorce which she
sought, together with $3.50 ali
mon, $50 per month for the sup
port of Arthur, the '-year-old son,
and $3.50 for attorneys fees.
Scores Dworak.
II believe there has been suffi-
cient evidence offered in this case
to establish cruelty the judge
said. The testimony has been filled
with many small things which tend

able. One may be stung to death

"Mr. Dworak was so absorbed in
his business that lie lost sight of
the sympathetic relations which
were due to his home. He held the
dollar so close to his eyes that he
did not see the finer things viii ii
make for happy home. He work
ed l6 hours a day. Attention to
business is commendable, but neg

are not forms of work which or
dinarily belong to the housewife.

his wife child-murderer.

Outside of the court room the
lengthening shadows we're marking
the advent of another Christmas eve,
when good tidings and peace on
earth are supposed to be dominant
in the human breast. The father
wanted to have his boy with him on

the child was suffering from a cold

lieve that the curfeW order now
proposed will apply only to Lon

may be seen to embOdy greater re

first.
One instance is that more trains
are to be taken off and the sug
gestion even is made that London
subways and street cars will dis
continue operations at $50 while
storekeepers will be prohibited
from lighting their windows. One
effect of the order may be to get
the people TO work earlier, thus
bringing the entire day into line
with the proposed change.
Clubs and private hotels, as we'll

Washington, March 20. - Grain
movements to western primary
markets in the last five weeks have
been 40 per cent higher than in the
same period last year, mainly be-
cause of heavy corn offerings but
deliveries of wheat have been less
than one-third of last year and in
the past three weeks have been de-
cre1sing.
A railroad administration report
disclosed this today without offer
ing explanation of the low wheat
movement. Officials said that the
roads were moving all the wheat
offered and that slow deliveries
were caused by the failure of farm
ers to release their wheat.
