A Great instrumental
Program

There's something furiously eestatie
about Cortot's piano record of Weber's
"Invit0tion to the WaIts." Without
preliminaries he breaks into the first
crashing dance theme. continuing with
out break to the end. This is not as
many believe, ''slow waltz"-it never
has been. But it gives the sense of the
old waltz. which was not an easy. Gid
ing dance. but swift, half-delirious
whirl. 1t is played with a crisp, clean
touch.
Spring Is the time for Hugo Kreis-

himself accompanies Hugo at the piano,

Willem Mengelberg and New York
Philharmonic Orchestra complete this

For all its massive size, the work is al

song for the orchestra.

Olga Samaroff's latest record is the
"Nocturne in Z flat" one of the best

LAWYERS OF U. S. Y
PLAN FORMATION ?
OF LAW INSTITUTE
Distinguished Gathering of
Legal Minds in Wash
ington.

Washington, ID. c., Feb. 2s.-Prob-
ably the most distinguished gathering
of the legal profession in the history
of the nation assembled here today for
organization for the improvement of
the law to consider the formation of
an American law institute.
A report by the committee, of which
Elihu Root is chairman, based on an
exhaustive study Of the question Of
improvement Of the law and recon-
mending to that end the formation of
the institute, had been prepared for
consideration Of the conference. 1t
not only points out some of the prin-
cipal defects in the Law but suggests
how, in the opinion Of the committee,
these may be remedied by the inteili-
went constructive effort of the legal
profession.
In addition to jurists, lawyers and
law teachers from every state. the
committee had invited TO attend the
conference the chief justice and asso-
ciate justices of the Supreme Court of
the United States, the senior Judge
of each circuit court of appeals. the
chief justice and associate justices of
each state supreme court and the pres
ident and members of the executive
committee of the American Bar Asso-
citation. Invitations also were extend
ed to the deans of the principal law
schools, the presidents of the leading
legal societies OF the country and more
than 4 hundred prominent members Of
the bar throughout the country. More
than four hundred acceptances were
announced by the committee.
At a dinner tonight, following the
conference sessions at Continental Me-
mortal Hall, Chief Justice Taft will
preside and introduce as speakers John
W. Davis, president of the American
Bar Association and former ambassa-
dor to Great Britain, and Herbert s.
Hadley, former governor of Missouri.
The remedy for what the committee
report regarded as the chief defect in
American law. its. completely and
uncertainty" was advocated broadly
as "restatement Of the law that will
have an authority much greater than
that now accorded to any legal work"

cause useless litigation, prevent resort
to the courts TO enforce just rights,
make it impossible to advise persons
of their rights and when litigation is
begun, and create delay and expense.
Our investigation" the report con-
tinued, "shows that among the causes
of the laws uncertainty are lack of
agreement among members of the legal
profession upon the fundamental prin-
