Good Orchestral Playing.

When all Is said and done. who really
knows what constitutes good orchestral
playing7 The truth Is that with the great
majority of people the point OF interest
in an orchestral concert Is the person
aiity OF the conductor. There arc honest
men who actually believe that there is
an element OF cheating in the business.
Their view was expressed by an intelll-
gent man who said 20 this writer few
days ago:
whats the use OF the conductor.
anyhow? The musicians never look at
him"
IL has been rumored that there were
conductors at whom the musicians never
looked lest they should fall into mex
tricable confusion but OF course all
those conductors arc dead The con-
ductors OF the present moment are all
~ the vrtuoso type, wizards OF the
baton. or something OF that sort And
without question one Of the greatest
baton magicians IN the world Is Arturo
Toscanini
He has magnetism" That IL the
thing Now just what do you mean

ductor's podium and by some secret and
mysterious personal power suddenly

Toscanini's
Conductor Obtains Good Work
From Poor Material
Caruso's Illness.
By w. =. HENDERSON.

w THAT THIS city really needs is
M orchestral concerts. Some
one should speak to Mayor
Hylan about IT, He made speech
last winter at a dinner fcr John Nc
Cormack. and, without referring to the
guest of the evening, told all about the
musical ins.ss.,s.ias of the local gov
ernment, such as concerts in the parks.
No doubt If influential citizens would
call the Mayors attention to the state
Of affairs he would institute proceed
tngs looking toward the inauguration
, of a series Of municipal concerts" This
is not a quotation. but the English is
the kind commonly employed in such
pronunciamentos.
This cry for more orchestral con-
certs is evoked By the arrival and rev.
elation of La Scala Orchestra. as 1t is
called. The exhibition of last Tues
day evening in the Metropolitan Opera
House must have persuaded the vlsl-
tors from Italy that we were suffering
from an orchestra famine, or that
many Of us, indeed, had never heard
an orchestral concert before.
AS far as the audience of that eve-
ming was concerned, such conclusion
would not have been far in error. The
almost hysterical compatriots OF Mr.
Toscanini, standing behind the or
chestra rail and shouting bravi at the
end of every movement. need not be
taken into account. They are not pa
irons of orchestral concerts, nor any
kind of concert, except so-called
song recital given by some Italian
opera singer.
1t is not of these that notice should
be taken. But Tuesday evenings audi
ence contained hundreds of other lis
teners, persons well known in this city,
who never have been seen at concert
of any one OF the local orchestras. And
all of them were enthusiastic in their
proclamations of the superiority OF this
imported product. The plain truth is
that most of these excellent people have
not the faintest idea OF what constitutes
excellence in orchestral playing nor have
they any knowledge OF what can be done
with an orchestra by conductor of the
foremost rank.

Prima Donna Conducts.

Were you ever judge at competi-
tion OF German choral societies? They
put you behind screen so that YOU
cannot identify the singers or the COM
ductor that you can see nothing brt
hear everything After YOU have hcari
half dozen choruses sing the same
number you have TO determine which
sang it best. You must depend entirely
upon your hearing.
What a pity audiences at orchestral
concerts cannot be compelled to depend
upon the same sense. We should have
far less of this excited worship of prima
donna conductors. But every music
lover acquainted with the qualities of
good orchestral playing would recognize
them whenever present and would know
what TO attribute 10 the musicians
themselves. and what to the conductor.
A good pianist can make an inferior
piano sound better than an incompetent
pianist can but that does not prove that
it is good piano Mr.. Toscaninrs
brilliant achievement with La Scala Or
chestra was that he obtained good re-
suits from poor material Mr.. Tosca-
mini Is a great conductor No intell-
gent music lover has yet failed to per-
ceive that But he is no magician. The
results obtained on Tuesday evening
were developed slowly through arduous
rehearsals and numerous concerts before
the New York public was confronted.
But the plain facts in the case are
these. Better orchestral concerts are
given weekly in this town and without
the faintest evidence OF public excite
ment. IL was not La Scala Orchestra,

Brilliant Achievement

or its concert that called out the dem
onstration OF last Tuesday evening. II
was an outbreak of public admira-
ton for the great conductor who for
merly dominated the artistic life of the
Metropolitan Opera House. and whose
departure left the high standards OF that
institution without the strongest of the
hands needed for their support.
Enrico Caruso's Illness.
The illness of Enrico Caruso causes
general regret among music lovers. But
it should astonish none. The famous
tenor was in bad condition on the open
ing night OF the season in mid-Novem-
Der. He was quite as bad at his second
appearance, when he sang Nenorino in
"L'Elisir d'Amore' He was probably
not perfectly himself in any perform
ance up to the time OF the bursting of
the blood vessel IN his throat in Brook
lyn,
When he supposedly vrenched his
side in "Pagliacci" he may have been
suffering from the beginnings of the dis
turbance in his lungs. At any rate
there is ground for at least a suspicion
that he may have been not wholly well
at any time since the season opened.
Such A theory would account for some
very bad singing.
Pleurisy Is extremely painful. Pro-
longed suffering from paip takes much
out of a man. IL sh0nl& not astonish
any one if. when Mr.. Caraso Is able TO
leave the house. he should be ordered
South and kept there MI the typical New
York winter weather Is surely ended.
The opera going public ought not TO find
any fault with such decision IL 1t be
made. Mr.. Caruso has served this public
faithfully and deserves every considera-
ton.

care. Adults with damaged hearts should
be provided with suitable occupations
entailing a minimum of strain.
One of the most important relief meas
ures. from both a medical and an eco
monte standpoint, is the vocational
training of children in suitable trades,
and the adjustment of the adult heart
cripple to some form Of labor which is
within his physical capacity. The work
of the Trade School for Cardiac Conva-
Iescents has demonstrated clearly that
patients with even the more severe grades
of heart disease are able, under proper
supervision and control, to earn their
livings in spite of their somewhat pre-
carious STATE Of health.
But the point the association wishes
emph. sized is that crippled hearts can
be prevented if they are discovered in
time The only way this can be assured
is throl gh periodical examinations by
physicians. A heart which is in good
condition one day may be running on only
half power the next and in no condition
to survive a sudden ecstacy Of joy or
grief.

HURDLE FENCES
NIMBLY WHEN 2
COPS OPEN FIRE
Two Negroes Drop Groceries
Other Plumber Planted
Under Shrubbery.

Admid a shower of bullets from the re-
volvers of two police officers two bur
glars escaped early today but they were
forced to drop a sack of groceries stolen
from Your Grocery Company's store, 1401
North Illinois street.
The burglary and series of hold ups
were part of crime wave that swept
over the city during the night.
Lieut.. Fred winkler and Sergt Edgar
Deeter, riding in an automobile in
Fourteenth street near Illinois street at
a. m. saw two negroes carrying a
heavy sack. The police ordered the sus-
poets to halt. Instead the negroes ran
between two houses and dropped the
sack. The police left their car and
started in pursuit
HURDLE FENCES
AS POLICE FIRE.
The negroes hurdled six fences as the
police opened fire with their revolvers.
Seven shots were fired at the men who
lodged behind sheds and jumped fences
in their fight. Lieutenant Winkler saw
one of the men run from an alley and
ordered him to stop. The man halted
and held up his hands as the policeman
covered him. Winkler was within fifteen
feet Of the burglar and as he walked
nearer he lowered his revolver. The
thief, seeing his chance, jumped over a
fence and lodged behind a shed as the
lieutenant fired.
At a. m. the police arrested two sus-
poets, charging them with vagrancy and
holding them under a high bond The
men are. George Harris, 20, negro. 1884

robbed four times, but this is the first
time in indianapolis"
Sloan had been calling on friends at
1920 North Illinois street, and at 80
o'clock this morning started to walk
downtown. He reached. the first alley
south of St. Clair street on Illinois street,
where he was met by two negroes armed
with revolvers. They forced him to
walk back into the alley and there they
searched him. Sloan said the holdup
men obtained a little more than 81.

Faulkner. Then he relieved Faulkner Of
$2.0S and four street car tickets. Faux
ner reported the holdup to park police
man who, instead of searching for the
robber, told Harry he had better take
his girl home and then go home himself.
Faulkner took the girl home and then
notified police headquarters The police

holdup man had an hour In which to
escape.

One Of the men had sprained ankle Gnd
badly scratched face.
At the time the police saw the tSyo
suspects they did not know that the
grocery at Illinois and Fourteenth streets
had been robbed. Later they found the
men had forced a transom over the front
door In the sack dropped by the two
negroes were found ten-pound sack of

GROCERIES PLANTED"
UNDER sHRUBBERK.
Patrolman Loucks is believed to tave
interrupted two burglars who had robbed
the Childs grocery store, 1871 North I'LL
nois street, and had planted" the gro
ceries stolen from the store under shrub
berry in the neighborhood. Motorpolice-
men Fineran and Seifert devoted more
than two hours in collecting hidden gro
ceries in alleys and under bushes, near
the store The burglars had removed a
heavy steel bar, broken rear window
and crawled into the store. They had
carried a large supply Of groceries from
thu store and had hidden them, planning
evidently to call later in the night and
haul away the loot. They may have
hauled away one automobile load of
groceries before Patrolman Loucks ar
rived, the police believe. George B.
Snider manager of the store, was un-
able to state today if the groceries re-
covered were all that had been taken
from the store.
Under bushes in Salem street the police
found a bag of navy beans weighing
about fifty pounds a bag of lima beans
weighing about fifty pounds, thirty
pounds Of oleomargarine and two dozen
oranges.
In other places the police found six
cans OF baking powder, three cans Of
cocoa, two large pieces Of bacon, two
dozen lemons, half bushel of potatoes,
two boxes of matches, fifteen bars of
soap, twelve and a half dozen eggs, a
half peck Of onions and twenty pounds

infectious diseases or by the constant use
Of stimulants or by unsuitable modes of
life reads a pamphlet now being dis
tributed by the association.
The infectious diseases most frequent
ly affecting the heart, are rheumatism
and syphilis. In early life rheumatism
is the chief cause. while the cardiac dam
age due to syphilis is generally apparent
only in later life
Although the causes of acute rheuma-
tism are not definitely known, it is quite
certain that 1t is a germ disease in which
the infection probably enters through
diseased tonsils, adenoids and decayed
teeth. The removal of such tonsils. ade-
nOids and the proper care Of the teeth
seem to be the most direct and effective
preventive measures against rheumatism.
Also the value of outdoor exercise and
sufficient sleep in well-ventilated rooms
as preventive measures cannot be over
estimated.
adults leading sedentary lives, whose
activities are chiefly mental, who get
but little outdoor exercise and who eat
more and sleep less than they should,
frequently suffer circuIatory changes"

tobacco, tea and coffee can not be pre-
cisely stated, but ii is evident that they
play a definite role in causing degenera-
tive diseases of the heart. Education
must be the strongest ally against these
preventable causes Of heart disease"
The association believes that a nation
wide campaign against heart disease is
crying need at the present time. Tuber
culosis, they point out, has declined with
encouraging abruptness since the Anti
tuberculosis Society began its we'll
organized and wen-financed attack, but
the control and prevention of heart
disease has scarcely been attempted.
THE prevalence of heart disease among
children and young people, with the en-
suing years of incapacity puts a burden
upon society which can be better met by
prevention than by relief measures elone,"
declared the secretary of the ASSOCIATION

self supporting; they are excluded from
all but few occupations, and they are
usually dependent upon their family or
upon the public throughout their lives"
Under favorable conditions most per-
sons suffering from chronic disease of
the heart maintain a fair oegre of health
for many years. But when conditions are
unfavorable the course Of the disease is
usually marked by periods of serious III
ness, when the Heart, for the time fails
in its effort to perform the work required
of it.
Mere medical care for patients of this
type is not enough. They need intelll
