OberhoAer Classed
As Greatest Leader

The "Music News in the January
issue says Of Emil OberhofkAr, coI.-
ductor OF the Minneapolis Symphony
orchestra. which will be, here on
April II for a matinee and evening
concert:
Ina recent interview a well known
musician and musical authority said
Of Emil Oberhoffer: II have heard
al the great orchestras OF the country
from the time Nickisch led the Boston
orchestra and Seidl was the idol of
New York. and, in my opinion, Ober-
hotter makes the third Of the trinity
of the greatest conductors this coun-
try has had. He has many things in
common with both of those mention
ed. yet withal a distinct individuality
all his own. He has the poetry and
temperament Of Nickisch and the mu-
steal insight and virility Of Sefdl, to-
gether with qualities Of his own to
supplement these. He has the same
phenomenal memory, enabling him
to- master and memorize his scores
and bring all his attention and
Beethoven and Brahms readings are
unsurpassed by any I have heard and
the sensation ne created in Boston
last February with the first Brahms
will bear this out. On the other hand
his grasp of the moderns is equally
remarkable and his reading of the
Rachmaninoff F. minor symphony, in
New York a few days later won a Sic
cess no. less striking and this is signif
ficant in view of the fact hat the
same symphony had several previous
performances there, which made little
success. In my opinion, We're Ober-
hotter at the head Of the same orches-
ira and located in Boston or New
York, he would be generally acclaim
ed the greatest conductor in America
today
Probably no other conductor has
given as many performances of the
best work Of our American composers
and the names Of Mcdowell, Chad
wick, Weidig. Hadley. Kelley, Busch.
krQeger, Skilton and many others
have appeared frequently and often
on his programs, both in Minneapolis
and elsewhere.
Mr.. Oberhoffcr comes from a must
cal family and was born in Munich.
He has had a wide musical experience
Us an operate choral and orches-
trail conductor, and has been in this
country about twenty years.

MORE CORN BREAD

One Of the first war breads to be-
come popular was corn bread. With
every %stearning piece of spoon broad
lifted from the casserole, the patri-
otto housewife feels the proud glow
Of a we'll aimed bayonet charge at
the enemy. Every time a piece Of
corn bread is served at the table with
a whitish color and a suspiciously
sweetish taste. she feels that though
she has made a personal attack on
the enemy. the weapon was a little
blunted or that h charge didn't
quite go> of.
Maybe using a large part white
Husband who cant stand too much
cor taste" And maybe the added
spoonful Of sugar was to make it
more palatable to Johnny and Susie
who tease for that bread that tastes
like cake"
Every little bit helps; however. and
it has been this partial substitution Of
other cereals that has gradually ac-
custon1ed the conservative family to a
wartime bread. Row, however, 1t is
':fifty-fifty." That is. the housewife
must buy as much OF other cereals as
she buys wheat, but It ID. left to in
dividual taste and discretion how this
shall be used. Some may be served
as a vegetable, such as hon1iny and
rice, ana 0tnerS as a IIOur a~On1lxIure
for breads and pastry. But all tEis
will stabilize the effort to save food
and apportion the saving fairly
among all classes Of consumers
Accustom your family to more and
more OF another cereal in their bread
and IL corn breads are still a nvorite
with them and the meal is, easily
available in you locality. give them
varied kinds of r bread as often
as possible.
Another conservation measure IN
making q liquid mixture like corn
bread is that a liquid fat may always
b. used, such as a vegetable oil. The
following recipe is for corn breed
without egg:
