WELSH SINGERS CONCERT
Mountain Ash Male Choir Sings al
WItherspoon Hall


The Mountain Ash Male Concert
Choir, an organization of Welsh sing
ers, gave an enjoyable concert last
evening in Witherspoon Hall before an
audience which was not so large as it
should have been. The choir, which is
under the direction Of Professor T.
Glyndwr Richards, has some excellent
voices among its members, especially the
tenor section, and some fine soloists.
The choral numbers naturally were
the principal feature of the concert.
The choir showed the results Of long
and hard training and sang with good
ensemble. All the members Of the or
ganization were prize winners at various
eistedfodds, and it has been made up
from the best voices obtainable among
the Welsh singers. Among the most
enjoyable numbers Of the chorus were
Caldicott's "Peace to the Soul Of the
Heroes" "who Sails With Drake, -
and Genees clever descriptive chorus,
Italian Salad"
The majority Of the numbers on the
program, however, consisted of solos
and duets. some of the participants
being Messrs. Sidney Charles, Thomas,
wards, Teif Davies, Harry Evans and
Steve Jenkins, the latter having a par
ticularly fine tenor voice which showed
to good advantage both in his solo work
and in the tenor solo part Of Genee's
work. William Evans was the ac-
companist, and also played piano
solo,

Half an hour before the procession
passed through the streets the crown
and sword of state were borne in the
royal carriage, surrounded by life
guards from the lord chamberlain's Of
flee at st. James's Palace to the House
of Lords. There were two guards of
honor at Buckingham Palace, and other
guards, with the state colors and regi.
mental band, outside the Parliament
buildings, from the tower of which the
royal standard was raised when the
sovereigns entered.
A large group OF state dignitaries, in
regalia and wearing emblems of their
office, were gathered at the royal en-
trance beneath Victoria Tower to re-
ceiye the king and queen.
As the procession approached the
royal salute of forty one guns was fired
by battery of the Royal Horse Ar
tillery, stationed In St. James's Park,
close by. Entering the building, the
king and queen, with their retinue, pro-
ceeded up the staircase to the robing
room, thirty or forty of the nobility
preceding them.
Immediately in front of the king and
queen when they entered the House of
Lords was the sword of state, while
behind them came pages of honor, off

guard, in scarlet and bearing halberds.
The procession advanced to the House

Amberg Finds Law of c Correspondence

Correct distribution is the keystone of reliable filing.
In some form, the Anberg Company had invented and
tried practically every method in to arbitrarily
control filing distribution. Results showed that till the
law governing distribution was known and understood
such efforts merely blind groping and that to obtain
dependable filing, distribution problems be provided
for in advance. The application of the Law of Cores
pondence not only provides for but controls distribution
Anberg took seven years to find and prove this law

filed record in emergency The confidence in your

Scientific Basis of the Amberg Plan

The Amberg Plan is founded on a law of Cores
pondence proved 9e26 accurate This law is based on
the Aberg masterist of 2O5 o2O whose proportion
OF occurrence is constant throughout business The
masterst is the result of the analysis of millions of names
and the study of name for than half
a century in over rs 600 Anberg filing installations

The Amberg Plan Individually Applied

Anberg experience covering more than half century
has established that no two filing problems are ever
identical. Few similar. 1t is in its individual
application to your pecularities of organization and
business relationships that the Aberg Plan assures your
having effective files Provision for the volume of feabe
matter developed by your buying branches agencies and
chief efaccounts is the first step the Amberg Plan That
together with the application of the Law of Correspon-
dence gives you indivdualized files.
You can adopt the Amberg Plan at once
without any commotion in your office. Asking
Amberg how, will not oblgate you or cost you
anything.
