Kershaw said, "Mr. Wiegand is endeavoring through playing to varied audiences at the Tutwiler, in concert and otherwise. to bring to the people music which is educational as well as pleasing. MT. Wiegand combines a classical knowledge of music with scholarly ideas along the line of programme making, which is an art in itself and interspersed with the classical will be found always music that the masses appreciate on our pro- grammes, thus giving varied and en- joyable programme as the occasions de- mand."

 that are satisfying, delightful. pleasing, appealing, the Violincello stands out as one of the most lovely of them all, with it's deep contralto ton alities, it's pleading, resonant, qualities, and it's wide range and limitless varia-' ticns.
 The cello is schooner heard either in solo or ensembles than almost any other instrument, yet why this is true is d matter of speculation, because 1t Is so beautiful and so pleasing; and by that mean, the cello is not heard like the violin, the flute, the clarinet, and other strnged instruments; perhaps it is be- cause of it's difficult mastery; perhaps 1t is because there are so few teachers of this wonderful instrument; perhaps and again perhaps; at any rate when one hears the cello with it's deep-Voiced Schumann-He II enk, Louise Homer, Mar garet Matzenauer tones-its superb Pal Plancon, Edouard deReszke, Jose Mar donnes, infections and variations, one wonders again why there are not more cellits-more teachers of this lovely in- strument and followers of it's marvellous tonal beauties.

BLAMES GOVERNMENT FOR
 COLLAPSE OF EXPORT TRADE

Atlantic City, N. J., Nov. 22.-Address- ing the second annual convention of the Associated Dress Industries of America here today, pr. Edward E. Pratt, former chief of the federal bureau of foreign and domestic commerce, blamed 'our delin- quent government" largely for what he termed the collapse of the export busi- ness of the country"
 This business," he declared, "has borne the brunt of the reducing process that was inaugurated by the federal re- serve board more thaa year ago.
 'At the present moment export busi- ness has almost entirely ceased, cancella- tions of orders previously placed are pouring into (this country and drafts on merchandise. already sent out are being resumed and dishonored in foreign coun- tries. There is no American bank today that is doing foreign business in the pure sense of the word. There are many banks in New York essaying international bank ing, but engaged practically in what might be termed international pawnbrok- ing
 We must look forward to a period of exporting capital and a period of large | imports, and also to a period of intense competition in neutral markets. We have to recognize England as a competitor in every market in the world. Germany. l too, will undoubtedly be back in the field 1 in 8 few years, and will compete with I her old skill in many markets" 1 Delegates attributed slow buying in the trade to failure on the part of retailers to

Corn gained 1-4 cents to 2 1-2 cents and oats lost If to Is cents. In provisioIY there was a setback ranging from 57 cents to $1.50
 Almost complete lack of confidence in the bull side of the wheat market was shown by a majority of traders Some of the more adventurous spirits in the pit eV.nced a disposition at the outset to act CT oriricns that a decided reaction was due after the drastic liquidation which of late had been forced on specu lat.ve hcicers.

 WOMAN IN NEW HAVEN

New Haven, Nov. 22-The mystery of the death of Frances Allingham. 22, whose body was run over by trolley car in Winthrop avenue Saturday night, ap- peared to be nearing a solution to- night, although the question of whether the young woman was dead before the trolley car hit her was not settled. The police investigation resulted in the ar rest tonight in Wallingford of Henry Van nell and Farederick c. 'O'Brien, both of that town. They were brought here and
 locked up at police headouarters at the
 direction of Coroner Eli Mix
 The police say the two young men
 were with Miss dillingham; on an automo-
 bile ride Saturday night, having met
 her in notorious cafe here. The po- lice theory is that the woman's body was thrown from an automobile to the street, where the trolley car struck it. The mo- torman had no time to stop the car after , seeing the object on the tracks. Coroner l Mix, however said the medical exam nation indicated that the woman was alive wHen the car ran upon her. | Miss Allingham was born in Water l town, N. Y, and was graduated from the ] high school there, according to certifi. cates found in her clothing. The police say she lived in Watertown until two years ago.
