Theosophist Lecturer.

"In the>reformer we see the de-
stroyer-a man protesting against

national lecturer and writer for the
Theosophical Society, last night be-
fore the Washington lodge of the
society. 1916 H street northwest.
Orme addressed the gathering on
the -Theosophical Interpretation of
Iconoclasts. He showed the work
of iconoclasts during the progress
of the world, and how they had
torn down the old only to rebuild
the new.
The destroyer is seen in the
war" Orme said. and he is so
breaking the gods of militarism,
might and autocracy that they will
not be reconstructed by the genera
tions rising about us. What the
individual iconoclast could not ac-
complish has been done by the aid
of nature who came to the rescue
The lecture was we'll received by
an audience that crowded the Theo-
sophical headquarters. The program
included vocal solos by Miss Anna
Breitenstein, accompanied by Miss
Vivienne Donner, both of the King

into the abyss on three successive
occasions.
Democratic cheerfulness about
1924 Is based on widespread con-
fidence that President Harding's ad-
ministration will be beset with
thorny difficulties from the hour OF
his inauguration. At home and
abroad Democrats prognosticate
stormy weather for the new re-
gime. They say they don't be-
grudge the Republicans their task
of dragging the nation from the
slough of despond into which eight
years of Democratic government has
plunged it. Even with the con-
structive genius which they con-
cede will be at President Harding's
command for that purpose, Demo-
Gratis see times of great stress on
the national horizon. They conjure
up visions Of social and industrial
unrest. They see a. taxation prob
lem of more battling dimensions
than American politico- economists
ever before have tried to unrayeI.
They call the cost of living the en-
during issue in the United States
and one with which the Republican
administration will have no more
success in graphing than its Demo-
cratic predecessor.
Skeptical About League,
Abroad there is the ever-towering
league of nations question. Demo-
cratic leaders. particularly those
close to President Wilson, are high
ly skeptical as to President Hard
ing's ability easily to come to grips
with II.
They predict a prolonged period
of debate and discussion, especially
IL the Harding-Senate panacea for
an Association of nations" or new
world order" minus the obnoxious
provisions of the Versailles cove
nant has to be worked out with
foreign governments through the
long and laborious process of dip
lomatic exchanges. Another con-
ference of the powers would prob
ably be equally interminable, to saw
nothing of the confidently-awaited
Johnson-Borah guerilla warfare,
Then there will be with the Hard
ing administration, as there was
with the Roosevelt. Taft and Will
son administrations, the more or
less eternal problems of Japan and
Mexico.
Cold Comfort.
It is all these things that the /
Democratic calamity howlers are
conjuring up, as they post-mortem |
over the party corpse that the elec-
torate embalmed this week. Their
hopes rest on the conviction that |
events will conspire to depopularize |
'Hardingism" before his Presidency |
is over. and that on the waves of |
his forfeited prestige they can ride /
back to power. 1t is cold comfort,
but 1t is the best the ides of the |
bleakest November on record afford

Corn to be
Fuel of Farmers
Instead of Coal

Farmers may burn corn for fuel
this winter. according to DIR. H. c.
Taylor, of the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture. because its
price has dropped so low that II may
become cheaper fuel than wood or
coal.
The burning of corn for fuel"
said DR.. Taylor, however deplor-
able, may always be expected when
the price of corn goes so low that
it will not buy it's equivalent in COM
mercial fuel.
Farmers will not burn corn in
stead of coal unless they are driven
to it by economic necessity. If the
prices Of farm products are adjust
ed to pre-war levels no more rapidly
than are the prices of things the
farmer must buy, agriculture can be
counted on % continue a safe and
conservative course. But il the
price of farm products fall and the
prices of other things remain high,
the farmer will be compelled to re-
organize his business on a more self
sustaining basis.

when Il made ready to go 20 the
front. 1t was then, according TO the
old stories. that Miss Read and her
parents began to have a difference
of opinion about her soldier ro-
nance. Fathers In those days often
took a stern stand in such matters.
Miss Read was the only girl In
family of boys and she had been
petted and spoiled. When her father
and mother sought TO play a part
in her affairs she resented IL deeply.
Her father refused to consent to
her marriage at that time and he
did not even want her TO say good
by to the man she loved" said one
village chronicler.
When he forbade her TO go out
on the day the regiment marched
away she said IL she couldn't go out

Of Hancock. II was a soldier OF
this regiment who fell in love with
Miss Fannie. SO the story goes.
I Never in the history of the beau
tiful little mountain village has
there been such a gay season as
in that first year Of the civil war.
A regiment of gallant young men
brought to their very doors meant
a great deal TO little village
many miles from the great centers
of life.
The old American House, which
was kept by Fannie Reads father,
Rely Read. was the scene of many
of the gay affairs in which officers
from the camp took part. 1t came
to be headquarters for the young
soldiers. Among the young girls OF
Hancock Miss Read was easily the
most popular.

MUSIC

City Club Group Urges En-

O.K.'S MUSIC IN MOVIES
Resumption Of Inaugural
Ball Also Sponsored !,
By Body.

- Group singing in department
stores and high-grade music in the
movies will receive the encourage
ment of the music group of the City
Club. according to the program OF
activities outlined at a meeting last
night at the clubhouse.
Percy S. Foster. organizing chair
man OF the group. was elected per-
manent chairman; William II. Brig
ham vice chairman; and H F. Carl
secretary-treasurer.
Aids store Morale.
The group should give its active
support to group singing by en-
ployes in the department stores" !"
said Foster. This plan already has
been given a trial by several of
our large department stores, and
the results have been gratifying.
II is found that a song in the morn
ing starts the employees to their
tasks with vim and enthusiasm, a
spirit of light-heartedness and CO.
operation. Singing clerks work bet
ter"
I'VE should also give our moral
support to those movie theaters that
are furnishing good music" said
Brigham. Some of the movie houses
are playing excellent music, and our
approval should tend to raise the
standard of music in other movie
houses"
Too much praise can not be given
the high-grade music that is being
offered at several of our movie
houses" said A. ]. Bachrach. The
people actually crave good music,
and it is quite noticeable that those
movie houses which offer the best
music are always the best pat
ronized."
Greater Interest I'm Music.
washingtonians are taking a
greater interest in good music than
ever before, according to Bachrach.
Seats for symphony concerts this
year are being sold out far in ad-
vance" he said.
Foster expressed the hope that
the Inaugural Ball would be re-
vived.
The Inaugural Ball always has
musical features which are of in
terest." said Mr.. Foster But the
music is only incidental. of course.
The Inaugural Ball gives visitors
to the city a chance to see the Presi
dent. high officials, and noted diplo-
mats. 1t gives the common people
a chance to see the heads of the
government"
This country has the prettiest
women in the world and the In
augural Hall offers an opportunity
for bringing the varied types of
beauty together"
The group adopted a charter and
bylaws stating that the purpose of
the group is to promote the cause
of good music in the community, to
aid the development among the peo-
pie Of a standard of taste in music
which shall leave little room for the
inferior, to cooperate where it can
be helpful with all agencies for the
advancement of the science OF
music. to provide for concerts and
lectures and generally to use its in
fiuence toward the advancement of
the musical art.

SEES HER KIN BURIED

HANCOCK, N. Y, Nov. 5.-one day
last week a little old woman stepped
from the door Of great old house
in Hancock. N. Y, into an automo-
bile which carried her to the funeral
of her brother, e. Darwin Read. She
was shrouded in shawls and wells
80 that no one really saw her. And
yet every one of Hancock's 1880
Inhabitants would have been more
interested to see her-to talk with
/ her face to face-than anyone else
in the world.
For ffty-nine years the woman,
Miss Fannie NJ. Read, beauty and
belle Of civil war time. has secluded
herself in the great old house, refus-
ing to cross the threshold except
when one Of her own kin was buried
in the town. The curious who
sought to catch a glimpse OF the
woman about whom traditions have
gathered for SO many years failed
in the attempt to see her face, with
all their trying.
Seen by Reporter.
Recently when reporter saw
Miss Read at her house she ap-
peared with a shawl gathered close
ly about her small face. From the
shelter of its folds her eyes, still
keenly blue, looked forth timidly
ssN, 90 f.,Il Dat hA-
clear and decisive, gave evidence
that the long and lonely vigils OF
these many years Of her seclusion
have not impaired the vigor of an
excellent intelligence.
Like Miss Havisham. the weirdly
interesting figure OF Dickens Great
Expectations" Miss Read immured
herself in her home for loves sake,
so tradition says. And, like Miss
Havisham also she has refused to
have alterations and repairs made
in the old house as the years have
gone by.
Not a piece Of furniture has been
moved in those large old fashioned
rooms since Miss Fannie withdrew
from the world.
Permits No Repairs.
Picture cords have rotted and the
pictures which they held have fallen
to the floor. but Miss Fannie has
refused to have new cords put in
and the pictures rehung. Year by
year the house has fallen into
greater disrepair, put when those
few persons. only close kin and one
or two girlhood friends, whom she
has permitted to see her during
these long. solitary years, have en-
treated her to permit the house fur
niture to be repaired Miss Read has
vehemently refused to submit to
these changes. She has carried her
point with all the unswerving de-
termination with which she has
clung to her main purpose of cut
ting herself of from society for
ever.
