cert when, in addition to her con-
Quoting the chorus, she sang the con-
tralto solos for the cantata, Three
Springs" originally assigned to
Mrs Flora Brylawsh who was
absent on account of illness.
The fine training of the entire
Chaminade group was displayed
when without perceptible faltering
they sang their parts undirected, as
their conductor faced the large
audience at st. Paul's English Luth-
eran Church.
In this group, as in her other
numbers, 1.-THE Divan of HafiZ," a

GOVERNORS. DUE
TOHEAR RUM
FACTS
Harding Plans Vigorous Talk
on Enforcement at Farley
Late This Month.
Continued from Page 10

CONTINUED from Page 10
Volstead act and the ease with
which bootleggers 'get away with
it, can be directly traced, the Pres
ident believes, to the laxity OF State
and municipal officers.
In many localities, his reports
show, the local officials have as
sumed the position that enforcing
prohibition is the Government s
job and one that does not concern
them. Harding will endeavor to
impress upon his gubernatorial
visitors that in adopting this atti-
tude they are, in fact, contributing
to popular disregard for law and
order which in the end will have a
deplorable effect on public morality
generally.
The President will not attempt to
said today, but he will talk straight
from the shoulder, and tell them
that the question of enforcing pro-
hibition is one of the gravest be-
fore the United States today.
A round table discussion is plan
ned, in which the governors will be
urged to advance their own ideas as
to how Volsteadism can be made
more effective:
From these discussions, the Presi-
dent hopes to evolve a program of
Federal and State enforcement,
which can be put into effect from
Washington, and which he will ex-
plain to the country on his western
trip this summer.

Encores at Recital in
Masonic Temple.

A recital which evoked enthusiast
tic applause from the large audi
ence was given last night in New
Masonic Temple Auditorium under
the auspices of the Homer l.. Kilt
Piano Company.
Phillip Gordon, the versatile plan
list whose work as accompanies for
Mischa Gilman is well and favora-
bly, known, was the principal SOLO
list. He was assisted by Elinor
Whittemore, violinist, who illus
trated the artistry of the Ampico
player-piano with her Saccompani-
ments.
Gordon is a technician, first and
foremost. But there is D freshness
about his Interpretation and beauty
of tone that places him in the front
rank of American pianists. So en-
thusiastic was the audience that
Gordon was obliged to respond to
several encores. -
His duets with the Ampico, "Ori.
entale," by Cesar Vui, and 'Tur-
key in the Straw" a humorous set
ting by Percy Granger, were in:
teresting.
Gordon's program included ''Rondo
CaprlcclOSO, MSnueISSOHH, COuH'
try Dance" Beethoven-Seiso; GA
votte," Chuck Brahms; "Marche Mil
itaire," Schubert aussig; 'BaIlade, .
Chopin, and "A Flat Polonaise," by
the same composer.
Miss Whittemore displayed her
capabilities in the Rimsky-Korsar
koff Hymn to the SUM-; ''Noc.

Andaluza,' Sarasate, and Russian
Airs" Wieniawski.
