whole life in the state. His parents

first mentioned having come to this
state in the early days of its settle
ment. With no advantages over
those OF other youths of that day and
time, Mr.. Griffith, with characters
tic determination, added to bright

Symphony Orchestra under DR..
Walter Damrosch was given before
a distinguished audience at the
opera Thursday night and was ac-
corded an enthusiastic reception.
The program rendered homage to
the French people, beginning with
the .Marseillaise" and including
Beehoven's Heroic Symphony"
Vincent Dindy's "'Istar" and Maurice
Ravel's "Daphins Et Chloe"
At the conclusion of "Istar"- the
audience made a demonstration that
continued so long that NJ. Dindy.
who was in the orchestra circle,
had to stand and acknowledge the
plaudits. He flushed with embas-
rassment as DR.. Damrosch and the
orchestra gave three large cheers
for him.
After repeated recalls at the end
of the concert DR.. Damrosch held
the audience rapt by a glorious In
depreciation of the "Star-Spanglcd
Banner" which was received with
cheers and applause.

PLANS INSPECTIONS
TO PREVENT FIRES

Intensive campaigning to combat
possibilities of fires in apartment
houses is being undertaken by the
Washington fire department
Last winter fires in apartment
houses occurred frequently, many of
them doing considerable damage.
Inspection by the fire department
showed that, in many instances,
trash had been allowed to accumu-
late at the foot of elevator shafts,
Education Of janitors in fire preven-
tion followed.
During the winter, apartment
houses were inspected every seven
days. In the summer, inspection
will take place at twelve-da
periods.

armed would rise, a new military
force. The Berlin government could
effect disarmament OF Erhardt's
brigade II it wanted to do so, for
1t would be easy to cut of their
food supplies and blockade them
with reliable troops. But Berlin
either is unwilling or afraid"
One thing I am certain of Is that
workers of the Ruhr district would
like a chance to disarm Erhardts
force, but the only prospect of their
being disarmed is when there is
really a democratic government in
Berlin enjoying the confidence Of
tho workers.

The people of this Charming res

One Eas onlJ to lock at the pinched,
