given a goal. We should have a super
latively good national conservatory so
that the hunger for music which is
inherent in Americans may be given
an aim. To any one familiar with in
stitutions abroad it seems pitiable
that America has no national con-
servatory. However, the enthusi-
asm which has been shown in the cele-
bration of Music Week gives us hone
that the agitation for we'll endowed
conservatory will bring results"
II want to see America have a big
conscrvatory-the biggest and best in
the world" said Mr.. Caruso. "Music
is the expression of the soul, and here
IN America, where we have so much
soul. why shouldn't we have unlimited
means OF expressing it?'
Mr.. Hackctt said he favored the
creation of government prizes to stimu-
late composers and performers.
1t was said definite plans for a con-
servatory may be announced before the
close of the week.
About half million workers were
entertained with music during the
noon hour yesterday, according to esti-
mates made by the Music Week Com
mittee. Thousands of workers Joined
IN choruses which had been arranged
oy hogert Lawrence, formerly head of
the neighborhood service of the Y. NJ.
c. A. The choruses were led by pro-
fessional singers, who, standing on
boxes, chairs or barrels, exhorted rig
gers, longshoremen, seasoned old sail
ors and workers in warehouses to join
them in singing about Nellies raven
hair or Sammie's smiles.
Almost all the department stores re-
ported they had done their bit for
Music Week by giving their employees
musicals before the stores opened.
The Music Show at Grand Central
Palace formally opened yesterday af-
ternoon. 1t will continue until Satur-
day night. Besides the one hundred
exhibits representing $2,o00000 worth
OF musical instruments, the show has
provided large motion picture room,
where the history of the manufacture
of musical instruments will be shown
continuously. In fifty concert rooms
music is provided either by mechanical
instruments or by opera stars.
The beginning of Music Week was
observed in the public schools yester-
day by special song services. Glasses
in about a dozen high schools engaged
in writing essays on the value Of
music.

Calli-Curci Sings
I'm la Traviata' to
Capacity Audience
songstress Appears in Role
of Nioletta; Dolci Is the
Alfredo and Maguenat
Is Cast as the Cermont

Nine Amelita GalliCurci made her
rcappcarance last night at the Lexing-
ton Opera House as Violetta in LA
Traviata" We will not say that the
affairs reared to Nine. Galli-Curci one
as yet left desolate, the huge audience
proved that they arc not; but such
singing az she disclosed last night
will speedily serve to deadcn the hymns
of praise with which our fervid opera
goers hitherto have greeted her an
nual Lexington Avenue hegira.
Nine. Galli-Curci is apparently of
the belief that pitch is made to be
defied, and she proceeded to defile it
from "Ah fors lui" on, and generally
TO the extent Of half tone. The
slvern quality of her tones. the charm
of her personality, the simplicity Of
her manner, were as great AS ever,
and for them much can be pardoned,
but half tone is a big order for
operate forgiveness.
Was it that she was out Of voice, or
was it that some of US had allowed
our enthusiasm to carry us away that
night two years ago, when we men
toned her in the same breath with
Sembrich and Melba, and one or two
of US even with Patti? Confession is
good for all Of us, and of enthusiasm
we should never be ashamed. Did we,
in short, raise our affairs to myth :?
Let US rather call it mystery-the
Cali, Curci mystery And mysteries
are always fascinating.
or the rest Of the performance the
less said the better. The Alfredo Of
Mr.. Dolci was most extraordinary
exhibition, physically, dramatically and
vocally. There have been Alfredos who
bleated, and Alfredos who languished,
but Mr.. Dolci's Alfredo roared.
The Germont was Alfred Maguenat,
splendid artist in French opera, de-
spite the unpleasant quality of his
voice, but utterly out Of place in Verdi.
The orchestra under Mr.. de Angels
played vigorously and incisively. but
with small regard for the singers.

Mime. Delcourt Gives Recital
Harp Selections Are Heard at
Princess Theater

Nine. Lucille Delcourt gave a harp
recital yesterday afternoon at the
Princess Theatre. AS at her recent ap-
pearance with the New York symphony
Orchestra, she used the harpe chro-
matique.
Nine. Delcourt is an excellent artist,
but she has not proved so far the su-
periority of this particular kind of
harp, and indeed, there seemed to be a
distinct loss in richness of tone from
the pedal harp. Nine Delcourt played,
among other things, four preludes by
Carlos Salzedo and numbers by De-
busy, Rameau, Albanez, Ravel and
Peirne.

London Insurance Statistics Prove How Materially Weight Affects

A table of standard weights, with mortality~ statistics, presented to a convention of actuaries in Edinburgh, showed that lightweight persons hs>ve a considerably longer life as a rule.
 The statistics were constructed from the records of 1S,000 healthy men in the British isles, insured between 1881 and 1915. Other statistics were offered showing that the average German and Austrian was nearly fourteen pounds. heavier than the average Briton, Cana dian or American, judging by insur~ ance records.

 He was in a quandary. He knew not how to answer. Deep down in his heart he kaeW he was going to leave her. was going to shut her out of his life. He had decided that again last night when drawing up his plans. But he could not tell her so now--not while she stood there questioning him, with such accusation, such bitter re- proach.
 You will, won't you?" she demand ed,-her face reddening.
 He chose the path of least resist anee. He took the shaving mug from her hands, replaced it on the table, and put his arms around her and kissed her on the lips.
