The federal food administrator for 1 Alaska has issued notice to divisional, ! district and local federal food admin istrators in Alaska, bakers. public eat ing places, retailers, consumers. and all concerned. of a new wheat COnscr- vatiOn program of the United States food administration, now effective in the territory Of Alaska. and they are advised to govern themselves accord
 ingly. Existing rules and regulations
 in re wheat flour sales and consump- ton promulgated by the federal food administration for Alaska are hereby vacated and set aside" says the an nouncement. and it continues:
 The recent careful survey by the food administrators of the United States, France, England and Italy of the food resources of the 22O,000,oOO people fighting against Germany shows that, to maintain enough supplies and HtltoShly itctlH Hto attiiSt "iC"otNi, there must be maintained in all coun- tries d conservation of wheat -four during the coming year.

 the large use of corn bread, We must
 use the mixture with wheat flour in addition to our normal consumption
 of corn bread.
 For this purpose regulations are
 formulated, effective September 1, providing, first for the preparation | and marketing by the manufacturing and distributing trades of the country of mixed flour available for purchase

 The rules formulated by the food
 administration provide for the elimi- nation of the "fifty.ffty" rule; retail CTS and bakers may buy wheat hour

Bloch Writing
Everyman' Music

Ernest Bloch is just completing the
score Of his incidental music for Rich
ard Ordynski's production Of the old
English play, "Everyman," which will
have two performances at the Metro
politan Opera House, under the au-
spices of the Society of the Friends
OF Music, on the afternoons of Easter
Monday and the following Thursday.
April 1 and 4. The music will be
played by the orchestra of the Metro
politan under the composers baton.
In the "Everyman" score Mr.. Bloch
seeks to heighten the variety and color
of this ever-changing picture of me-
diaval life, imagined by some name
less monk four centuries or more ago.
Throughout it runs the religious
majesty, the sense of the imminence of
deity which was so keenly felt bv the
medieval soul. 1t is a theme which
appeals with peculiar liveliness to
man of Mr.. Bloch's gifts, and in treat
ing it he has freely utilized his talent
for harmonic and instrumental color
ing.

Greek Idea in Dancing
And Symphonic Music
Recent Exposition at the MetronoE.
tan Rene1vs Question of Interpreting
Schubert With the Feet

We hold not the briefest brief for
what Helen Moller and her pupils did
TO the Schubert Symphony in major
at their exposition of the Greek idea
in dancing" at the Metropolitan Opera
House last Monday afternoon. They
may have exposed Greek dancing, since
none Of US has more than the faintest
notion what Greek dancing was like.
But the most noticeable exposure was
of something too, too solid, and not at
all of anything so evanescent as art.
If the occasion had not invited such
an avalanche of remarks about "the
naked truth" the dancers artistic
Standards" the shocking fact that
woman is a bipcd, and the like, we
might have had a very pretty discus
sion concerning the propriety Of dane
ing to q symphony. There are some
who simply won't have it. A symphony,
they insist, is q symphony; it is not
ballet If Schubert had meant his
music to be danced he would have so
directed. 1t is an impudence, they in
sist, to seek to add anything to a
Beethoven symphony. Did not the mas
ter know what he was about? Is his
music incomplete" as it stands? Has
Miss So-and-So the genius of Beetho-
ven, that she presumes to make clear
his meaning?
When we get into this sort OF discus
we are furiously embroiled in
SC clashes of tastes which make the
apers Incorporate and leave the soul
Inject for some kind of Turkish
The only thing to do is to gather
il little knots OF Bolsheviki and
Nenshevik and humble things about
each other in safely distant corners of
the rooms. Some of US who are Boil
sheviki in this matter, and would sin
cerely like TO see certain of the SYM
phonies danced, if only il could be done
adequately, won't ever be convinced to
the contrary. Wagner. with that splen-
did poetic imagination which was the
solid half Of his genius, said one of the
ultimate things when he called Bee
thoven's Seventh Symphony "the apoth-
costs OF the dance" And those who
have read Nietzsche's "The Birth of
Tragedy" will never get the feeling out
Of their blood that music at its most
intense and exalted somehow implies
the dance. And in any case, is it such
sacrilege to speak Of dancing in con-
nection with symphonies? The sym
phony was originally TO more than a
suite OF dances, and not until Beetho-
ven's Third Symphony did it break with
its dance tradition and become clearly
emotional and dramatic. And even in
Beethoven. and for decades afte-ward,
the dance feeling pulsed persistently

A Book Of Songs

Since there are some thousands of
songs published each year, and just
few CT these are good ones, the need
for some sort of sitting is evident.
This is where the editor of "collec-
tions" performs one of his chief SER
vices.
But this IS not all, The songs pub
lished this year tend in some degree
to sift themselves, and each season
one or two emerge by the natural proc
ess OF elimination, as II. T. Burleigh's
Deep River emerged two years ago
But what about the thousands Of songs
published long ago and forgotten?
What about those published in strange
lands and never published anywhere
else? The concert singer would need
an international intelligence bureau to
keep informed. Here, more than ever,
the keen-eyed editor is indispensable.
And his services are appreciated.
Since Kurt Schindler's two volumes of
Russian songs were published few
months ago, for instance, we have
heard some dozen or eighteen of them
IN New York concert halls, or seen
them on programmes We missed. And
as for his earlier volume, "a Century
of Russian Song it has been a mine
CT material for singers for five years.
Let no one again make sighting refer
ence to the editor and collector as a
"rehash artist"

"hlch to some of us seems to crv for
accompanying dancing, and that is pre-
cIsely the one Miss Moller chose
Schuoerts Seventh. Isadora Duncan
owned its possibilities a number of
years ago, and with her pupils danced
TO the last two movements, not ade-
quately, as we felt, but with vastly
more feeling for the spirit and the de-
sign Of the work than was shown on
Monday. But many q listener must
have caught the feeling independent
The rhythmic quality of every move
n-ent .ashes like whip. The second
theme of the opening allegro must
convey the picture OF some exotic
dance to the dullest of souls. The
lovely trio of the scherzo is one of
the most irresistible Tits in all music,
The andante makes the muscles tincle
with desire for visible rhythmic move
ment. The final allegro is not to be
described IN any such measured Ian
guage. To one who feels it at all
(there are some who call it weak and
thin) it is violent whiskey, making
I the head spin and the blood rush in
crazy directions. 1t is nothing short
Of painful to sit in ones chair and
listen to this music, unable to do any
thing about it. The peculiar dance
quality does not reside merely in the
persistent rhythm. 1t is somewhere in
the tireless and exultant melodies
themselves. But by the grace Of the
gods OF music it is there, and some
thing simply has to be done about it.
That something can be nothing but
dancing, dancing straight, honest and
natural, physical and buoyant, the
overfowing expression of joy in the
1.-the figures, clean muscles and re-
silent flesh which nature has given
to her favorites among US. Natural
dancing, but not aimless. The human
animal, when he is keyed up to play, is
not aimless. He is very intensely aim
ing to throw a ball to some particu-
lar spot, or to jump clean over
brook, or to put the shot exactly an
inch beyond the worlds record.
Artistic organization is not triumph
over natural impulse, but natural i'm
pulse getting what it wants. The
Italian children who obstruct traffic
down in Macdougal Street on summer
days get their games organized as fast
as their minds can make up rules and
principles. And so the dancing which
will accompany this Schubert SYM
phony, when it satisfies US, Will be as
impulsive as human nature at play and
as the music of the childlike Schubert
himself, but as clearly organized as his
symphony and as simple.
1t will not tell "a story" as Miss
Moller tried to do. Schubert's music
simply won't lend itself to that. 1t is
as impersona as country
gallop, as absolute" as a shower bath.
1t Will be a pure architectural design
in movement and mass, as Schubert's
music is an architectural design in
rhythm and tone.
