Walter Damrosch Appears as Soloist
Hands Symphony Society Baton Over to Assistant
While He Plays Piano in Quintet.

The Symphony Society and Walter
Damrosch were at home in Aeolian Hall
yesterday afternoon. A large assembly
OF friends was present and an enjoy
able time was had by ALL" But without
doubt 1t was Walter Damrosch who had
the time OF his life. For years and
years and still more years he had been
conductor of the Symphony Society, but
he had never before been a soloist with
IT. Yesterday he iaIG down, not the
fiddle and the bow. but the baton of an
instrumental field marshal IN order TO
sit at a piano and play the persuasive
part In Cesar Francks quintet for piano
and strings, which he had arranged for
all the bows of his orchestra.
How could any one help suspecting
that he had made the arrangement so
that he himself could manipulate the
Keyboard? Rene Pollain, first viola and
assistant conductor, welded the baton
with gusto, while his boss carefully OBJ
served it's beat and took good care not
TO come in too soon or too late. The
quintet expanded itself graciously. Never
MIND what Cesar Franck might have
thought OF the new edition. They do
TINS sort OF thing In France too. so why

conductors. just as they persist In saying
mat Ossip Gabrilowitsch is the best con-
ductor among pianists. Old Jokes are
honored for their gray hairs. The truth
IS that except for some moments OF
rigidity Mr.. Damrosch performed his
task well. The audience was entirely
happy over il and an air OF domestic Joy
spread through the hall
Before the quintet Mr.. Damrosch con-
Quoted the orchestra in performance
OF Brahms's third symphony. and after
ward in repetition OF Rosphighi's foun-
tains Of perennial youth In Rome. There
seems TO be just a little danger that
these beautiful fountains may run dry

The Brahms symphony sounded as well
as 1t is likely to sound in Aeolian Hall.
It was very we'll done, indeed. and Mr..
Damrosch seemed to enjoy conducting II
almost rs much as he enjoyed playing
the piano.

Cook Who F aces Death.
Exacting Rules OF an East African
Native Kingdom.
From me London Doiiv MoR'


The Rev. John Roscoe, rector of Owing

societv wondering for more than an
hour while he lectured on his journey
through East Africa. where he went on
n tour of-investigation on behalf OF the
covernment and the Royal Society.
King George was amused by the trav-
eIler's description of the royal servants
al Bunyoro. one OF the places Mr.. Roscoe
visited. He described their duties in his
lecture in London.
'The Kings chief cook has very try
ing lob" said Mr.. Roscoe. "The custom
Il that every morning he brings to the
King d pot Of specially prepared meat
with which he must walk all around
the royal enclosure. With his face
whitened he enters the presence, and in a
dead silence throughout the court, which
may not be broken 10y coughing or sneez-

cook puts piece Of meat at the end

"He does this four times, but II by

dies Instantly
These servants find the ordeal so try

Spica, a Bad Star.
1t Bumps the Earth and Is the Cause
of Weather Freaks.

To THE New YoRK HERALD: Spica,
the bright star now rising late in the
evening east OF Saturn. is one OF the
mysteries worth investigating on ac-
count OF the intensity OF It's repelling
force against the earth and the weather
freaks which II produces.
In February. 1904. the moon passing
between the earth and the repesling
force Of Spica bumped the earth out
ward from the sun and caused among
other things a fall OF GO degrees OF
temperature in one locality the next
day.
The moon passing through the force
OF Spica was also the principal cause OF
the following: In April, 1906. the vio-
lent activity OF Vesuvius in November.
1909. the big West Indian storm; in
April, 1912. the tidal wave in March,
1913, the big tornado at Omaha; in
August, 1915. the Galveston hurricane
in January, 1921. 2.20O square miles Of
forest destruction by the Olympic tor
nado.
As stated some years ago, the laws
OF universal repelling force. or the laws
of gravitation, show that some OF the
stars are larger than the size which
some people imagine to be the size OF
the universe. yet Spica's great force
cannot be attributed to It's great size.
Like Reguus, 1t is in the earths traffic
way. but Spica causes more severe
weather changes than Regulus. Spica
takes part in the earth's weather every
month. The next date will be about

moral from bottle OF whiskey.
The bartenders at Tia Juana serve IL
in glasses that have almost the same
c,bic content as n thimblc. There are
flfty-two such drinks In one bottle. For
the least adulterated whislSey 75 cents

When the dlstiilers we're frantically

Game Law Enforcement.
Arguments Against Turning the Work
Over to the State Police.

To THE NEW YORK HERALD: desire
to state some OF the objections to the
bill introduced in the Senate by Mr..
Fearon OF Syracuse which abohshes the
carefully built up organization of game
protectors and puts their work in the
hands OF tho State police.
The best argument against the bill Is
that In Pennsylvania an endeavor was
made TO have the State Constabulary
assist in the work of game protection.
The plan proved unsuccessful. Now the
Keystone State has gone SO far as TO
have two separate and distinct forces
protecting its fish and game. one force
giving its entire attention to the protec-
ton of fish and the other TO the game
In 1880 Governor Alonzo B. Cornell
had the foresight 10 obtain authority to
appoint eight men to enforce statutes
for the preservation of game. Every year
since then the field has broadened until
at the present time the force consists of
131 uniformed men, divided for the pur-
pose of administration into twelve divi-
sions, each in charge OF an inspector.
These men patrol $4,000 square miles
included within the State of New York.
protecting fish. game, fur bearing ami
mails and song and insectivorous birds.
AS to the efficiency OF these game pro-
t.ctors: last year they prosecuted 4,26s
cases of violations of the conservation
law and secured 4,1s0 convictions. They
won SO per cent. OF their cases. The
fines and penalties added to the State
treasury s70,s32.o7.
Tho office OF game protector is not q
political job. The work requires men oi

and paddle, and who have a first hand

Russia's Latest Mystery.

News from the borders of Soviet
Russia in which the dissolution or
overthrow Of the Lenine-TrotZky au-
tocracy was predicted has proved 50
unreliable that all announcements OF
this nature are regarded generally
with deep suspicion. Consequently
the latest reports. which represent the
feet as in open mutiny, the army
refusing TO act against the counter
revolutionists, Petrograd at the mercy
Of White forces in possession of Kron-
stadt, and Moscow torn by strife will
not be accepted as authentic until
complete confirmation is received
from reliable persons.
1t is fair to say, however, that ris-
ings against the dictatorship of LIE.
NINE and TRoTzKy before the end OF
this winter were freely predicted last
summer and autumn on apparently
logical grounds. The land and water
transportation systems had practi.
cally collapsed before cold weather
set in. The supplies of food and fuel
for the cities and large towns had
not been maintained Manufacturing
establishments were idle because OF
lack of raw materials. Skilled work
ers had gone away from the indus
trial centres to seek food in the
agricultural districts, where the reas
ants, having obtained ownership OF
the land, were. raising crops sufficient
for their own needs but nothing to
deliver to the Bolshevik commissars
That the city dwellers would be cold
and hungry before spring Of 1921
was plain to all.
AS everything in Russia is topsy
turvy and as reports from the dis.
tracted land are not to be relied upon
there can be no rejoicing yet over
the reputed reverses of the Reds, but
that this winter would be a difficult
season for LENINE and TRoTzKY was
apparent to everybody.

Commercial Geology.

The United States Geological Sur
vey recently issued notable work en-
titled World Atlas OF Commercial
Geology" one of the most ambitious
publications in design and accomplish
ment the Survey has ever undertaken.
Its scope and purpose are thus set
forth i'll the introduction
The study of the distribution OF
mineral raw materials and their rela-
tions 10 the promotion OF trade and
the control OF industry is a branch
Of geology and may best be termed
commercial geology. To set forth
graphically and to describe concisely
the basic facts concerning both the
present and the future sources of the
useful minerals is the purpose of this
World Atlas of Commercial Geology"
Thirty useful minerals are treated
Of, methods Of production described
and their uses enumerated in the text,
and seventy-two maps exhibit the es-
sential relations Of the worlds min
eral industries and details of geo.
graphical distribution In preparing
this work more than score of geolo-
gists cooperated and, it is interesting
to note, two women have qualified in
this wide flung and arduous field of
research.
The vast extent and Importance Of
the industries treated and the COM
manding position this country occu-
pies in them are thus referred to:
If we multiply the worlds output
of the thirty commodities considered
by the average United States price in
1918 we find that their combined
value amounts to about s4,575,ooO.-
600 OF this amount the United
! States contributed over SO per cent.
whereas Germany contributed less
than 10 per cent, Great Britain 1o.5
per cent, and no other country more
than per cent"
I In the year referred to this country
ranked first In the production of thlr-
teen out of the thirty most important
mineral commodities. 1t ranked sec
ond in four others; Russia, Austria
and Spain each ranked first in the
production of two, Germany and
1 Trance first in the production OF one,
Great Britain first in none and sec
ond in two.
The seventy-two pages of text. the
many maps-a set devoted to each
mineral group-contain much Of in
4 terest and value. 1t would be well
cor those who produce and use, for
those who legislate upon the produc-
ton and uses Of our mineral wealth,
to bear IN mind this warning Of one
of the books essayists, that ''in this
matter OF mineral wealth the nation
that is spendthrift to-day is so
much the less likely to possess inde-
pendent means tomorrow"

Woman's Newest Club.
Mrs. Belle de Rivera Explains the
Purpose of The Founders.

To THE NEW YORK HERALD: Your
account OF the forming OF the society
Of The Founders tends to give an er-
roneous impression.
For long time there has been the
thought in the minds OF thinking women
that some record should be kept u the
splendid work achieved by the founders
OF worth while clubs, whose very names
without some such record would soon
be forgotten.
For this reason and this reason alone
The Founders has come into existence
II stands Independent OF all other or
ganizations and by its very nature can
be in rivalry with none.
II is hoped that In many localities IN
the State and throughout the nation
other women will form like societies
10 uphold n high standard OF CLUB
ethics and to honor the names OF their
great women and keep their memories
green. BELLE DE riSEhA'
