CONCERT AT HIGH SCHOOL
Entertaining Numbers Rendered By
n. Y. Metropolitan Company.

n. I. metropolitan Company.
The concert given last Friday night
in the auditorium of the new high
school building by Alex Skovgaard,
the Danish violinist, and his fellow
members of the New York Metropoli-
tan Company, was delightful affair,
far exceeding the expectations of the
audience. On account of the inclement
weather the audience was not large,
but those who came in spite of the
weather felt amply repaid. Skovgaard
by his brilliant playing on his wonder
full Stradivarius violin, fully justified
his reputation as one of the foremost
violinists of the time. The work of
Mrs. Skovgaard, both as accompanist
and piano soloist, was beyond criti-
cism, and Mrs. Frank Wiley, who ap-
peared as vocalist, by her perform
ance, fully maintained the high repu-
tation of the Metropolitan artists.
One of the notable features of the
oCCdSlOH was lHS dtLIdCCINeleSS VI
the program presented, its variety and
suitability to the purpose for which it
was planned. While all of the music
rendered was Of excellent quality, it
was not of the kind known as strictly
classical, and consequently was fully
within the comprehension and appreci-
alton of an audience, most of which
consisted of persons who were not
musical experts. As encores Skov-
gard played number of popular
melodies, such as "Swaunee River"
and cold Kentucky Home, and by his
friendly and affable manner complete
ly won the hearts of his hearers Mrs.
Safeguards performance as piano So
loist was marked by an extreme
delicacy of touch and ineness Of inter
probation which made her playing a
delight to the ear Mrs. Wiley has
voice wonderfully clear in tone, al
most perfectly trained and under ex-
ceptional control, and her singing was
pleasure which those who had the
good fortune to hear it, will not soon
forget.
Altogether the concert was of the
highest quality, and the high school
authorities feel a pardonable pride in
having secured such a company of ar
lists for the first public entertainment
in the new high school building.

Navy Supplied R-34
With Gas, but Failed
To Get Rum for Creu

Ia it weather conditions in mid At
lantic that dcav the British super
dirigiblc R-3i from starting on her re-
turn flight across the ocean?
This is the question that has brought
grave concern to the United States navy
and officials endowed with the enforce
ment Of prohibition.
1t was learned last night that while
the fuel necessary to drive the ship
across the Atlantic was on board. the
fuel necessary to energize the crew has
not been received at the field, and the
Navy Department above all others has
been asked to obtain it.
1--WE want $3.50 worth Of rum for the
crew." said Lieutenant Colonel Freder-
ick w. Lucas. the British officer in
charge Of landing arrangements. Eve
have asked the Navy Department to get
it for US. The rum was rcquistioned
before prohibition went into effect in
this country.
Rum is part of the rations of the
men, and is absolutely necessary to
them. They have never before been in
their without it. 1t is especially neces-
sary during the fight across the At
lantic, where chilling fogs penetrate
through the operating cabins of the
ship and make the task of the crew
very hard and lower their vitality.
