RUSSIAN QUARTET
TO GIVE CONCERT
to The Evening Journal.

Special to The Evening Journal.
NEWARK. Dec. 9.-The Artist
Series Committee Of the University
of Delaware believe that the Rus
sian Quartet. which is to give
concert in Wolf Hall. Saturday
night Of next week, will prove the
most interesting of any OF the en-
tertainers that have appeared IN
connection with the series and that
thew will furnish a real treat to
music lovers.
The Russian Cathedral Quartet
renresents the highest achievement
in male quartet singing. They have
appeared in the leading cities OF
the country and were everywhere
recognized as setting new standard
of excellence. In three changes OF
Russian costume. they present their
native. folk. gypsy and Cathedral
music.
Tbese men were sent to America
bv the former Russian government
to present the native music being
,hosen for the unusual quality of
their voices as well as their long
range. from the high d of the tenor
TO the B fat below the staff Of the
bass.
In their appearance at the White
House before former President
Wilson. as we'll as in theatres. col
leges and concert halls. they were
able to convey to their audiences
the weird and sombre beauty OF
the Russian music, which is the
expression Of an oppressed people
only now beginning to find light.
No less interesting IS their inter-
pretation OF American folk songs
and classics.
one of the outstanding features
OF the program will be the singing
of the Russian Cathedral anthems
which are the greatest and most
difficult of all Russian music.

CORNELIA

FORTUNATE is she who bears the
- name of COrnelia, which through
the centuries has been symbolic of all
that is beautiful and reVerent in moth
erhOOd. Not only has COrnelia a heri-
tage worthy of an empress, coming as
she does from the distinguished old
Roman gems of Cornelius, but her
memory is immortalized by Latin
legend, which makes her the mother
of the Gracchi and the heroine of one
of the most beautiful tributes to moth
erhOod.
Some etymologis,s endeavor to trace
COrnelia back to the two words cornu
belli, meaning "a war horn," but the
consensus of opinion is that she had
no existence previous to the first wom-
an so called, who was the daughter Of
Publius Cornelius Scipio Africanus l,
and the mother of the Gracchi. She
seems to have inherited from her
gallant warrior father a spirit of pure
lofty dignity which made her the high
est type of Roman motherhood.
When, according to the legend, the
matrOns of the most fashionable circle
of Roman society were gossiping over
the ancient Roman equivalent for tea
and exhibiting their gem collections
for the edificatiOn and envy of each
other, Cornelia alone had no glittering
display. But, summoning a slave, she
had her ~ beautiful children brought
TO her. and, laying her haLds on the
shoulders Of the Gracchi, proudly
said: These are my jewels"
The great historians of ancient
Rome have carefully recorded the in
cident making Cornelia superior to all
the noble Roman ladies of her time

Glass Once Was Costly.

For many centuries glassmaking
was a fine art known only to few.
When the Book Of Job was written
glass was worth it's weight in gold,
and the Phoenicians seem to have trad
ed glass beads as jewels among the saw
ages of northern Europe, according to
the Detroit News. 1t used to be
thought that the ancient Egyptians at
an early epoch anticipated the discov-
cry made by the merchants of Sidon, for
drawing of two workmen apparent
ly engaged in glassmaking had been
discovered in a tomb of the eleventh
dynasty. But the best authorities now
agree that the drawing represents
some other process of manufacture.
The Sidonians certainly held for .
long time the monopoly in glassmak-
ing, and they spread the use of the
new material throughout the Medi-
terranean. Later the Romans became
admirable artists in glass.

Thousands Have kidney
Trouble and Never
Suspect 1t
Applicants for Insurance Often
Rejected.

Judging from reports from druggists
who are constantly in direct touch with
the public, there is one preparation that
has been very successful in overcoming
these conditions. The mild and healing
influence of DIR. Kilmer's Swamp Root is
soon realized. 1t stands the highest fol
its remarkable record of success
An examining physician for one of the
prominent Life Insurance Companies, in
an interview on the subject, made the as
tonishing statement that one reason why
so many applicants for insurance are re
jected is because kidney trouble is SC
common to the American people, and the
large majority of those whose applications
are declined do not even suspect that they
have the disease. DIR. Kilmer's Swamp
Root is on sale at all drug stores in bottles
of two sizes, medium and large.
However, if you wish first to test this
great preparation send ten cents to DIR.

Mrs. Cravens told the auxiliary work
ers, explaining that the two American
Legion departments would realize $780,
900 from the dedication.
The women responded with enthus-
iasm. Under Mrs. Cravens' leadership
they conducted a campaign as siren

gave of their time and energies to

LIKE BLESSED HAVEN IDEA
Wildwood IN. J.) Legion Post Estab.
fishes Retreat for the Gonzales
cent Ex-Service Men.

That hiatus Of loneliness and pain
and weakness that often is the lot of
the veteran as he leaves the eperat-
ing room of a government hospital,
and before he can go to his home, is
being made one of pleasure and real
rest by the Byron Pennington Croker
post of the American Legion at Wild
wood, N. ]. The post has established
what is known as Blessed Haven, a
retreat for the convalescent ex-service
men. 1t is the only institution of its
kind in the state.
So successful has Blessed Haven
been, and SO thoroughly has it become
all that it's name implies, that other
Legion posts are contemplating the
establishment of like retreats. 1t is
planned to have them in the more
thickly populated sections in orCer
to bring the boys as close to their
homes as possible.
The Ely miner., 1922-10-06

Cornelia's popularity as a feminine
name throughout Europe is due to the
martyred Pope Cornelius whose relics
were brought TO Compeigne by Charles
the Bald. In the Low Countries, Cor
nelius became Keetje or sometimes
Kee. Nelson Is a Dutch rendition of
Cornelius.
But though Cornelia's jewels may
lave been her children, she had a tai
ismanic stone, the turquoise. 1t Is said
to protect it's wearer from the danger
attendant upon travellers and to bring
them good fortune when they see the
new moon reflected on it's surface Sat-
urday is her lucky day and one her
lucky number. Holly, signifying fore
sight, is her flower.
