The St Louis Symphony orchestra, which will give two concerts in Bir- mjneham Monday under the auspices of the Music study club, is one of the oldest symphony organizations in the country. Tradition has it. that symphonies were performed in St. Louis by a local orchestra as early as lS45. Be that as it may the his tory of symphony music in St. Louis from Civil war times is well authen- ticated One of. the ssmost. valued treasures in the archives of the ~St, Louis symphony society is we'll preserved program of symphony concert given by 40 musicians, known as the St. Bouis Philharmonic society. on October 1S,. 1SG0 The director of the orchestra was Edward Sobolew- ski. q man of Polish birth whose de- seendants to this day are actively identified with the musical life of St. Louis.
 The present St. Louis Symphony society dates from 1881. Thes con- ductor of the organization from 1881 to 1894 was Joseph Often, and from 1895 to 1906 Alfred Ernst was the di- rector. It was in November of 1907 that Max Zach, assistant conductor of the Boston Symphony orchestra, was engaged as conductor and he remained in that post until his sud- den and untimely death in Febru- ary. 1921.
 Zach was. a product of the Boston Symphony orchestra. having been a member of that organization since 1886. and the best traditions and ideals of that famous organization were implanted in St. Louis by him. After II years of patient and untir- ing effort he gradually brought to perfection an orchestral instrument twhich may certainly be said to take rank as one of the six best orches- tras in the United States.
 When in the spring of 1921 the of ficials of the St. Louis Symphony so- ciety invited Rudolph Gang to accept the conductorship of the orchestra, Gang came to St. Louis and found an almost perfect instrument for him to play upon. He also found the back CTS of the orchestra ready to gAar- antee adequate financial support. &bove all, however, he found the St. Louis public had been well trained in the appreciation Of the masterpieces of symphony music by his distip- suished predecessor. With such ideal conditions, it is splendid musicianship and agreeable personality of Rudolph Gang should have attained such remarkable suc- cess during his first season as con- ductor.
 AIr Gang himself often says that his success was made possible large ly-through the years of earnest work that MT. Zach put forth to bring the

q RAND T0 OFFER. HUMOR PROGRAM. ].
Douglas MacLean In Going Up' And Larry Lemon
 Comedy Features

The Strand program for this week is dedicated to the humorous side of life, presenting Douglas MacLean in Going Up" and Larry Semon comedy sThe Midnight Caba- ret'' g. Going Up" was frankly built solely for laughing purposes and it hits the bulls-eye squarely. It is funny from beginning to. end with out single tagging scene. The screen story might well serve as a model for comedy producers. It is unusually coherent, filled with sus- 'pense and excitement while the laugh provoking situations convert a pretty drama into a riotous com edy once. more to demonstrate how much more can be done on the screen than on the stage.
 Going Up'' is a personal triumph for Douglas MaeLean. HJe never permits a guilty laugh to escape. He makes his funny scenes funny, and that is no little thing to do. The role of Robert Street fits him like a new kid glove and he could not possibly get more laughs out of it unless he came down from the screen and tickled the audience in the ribs.
 There are some remarkable flying scenes in the picture--the sort that drag an audience to the edges of the seats and permit it to sink back with loud laugh when a closeup of Mir MacLean reveals that he has escaped that danger and Is still battling heroically to subdue >fjs pirouetting plane. .....-. ift
 Marjorie Daw, Hallam Cooley, Edna Murphy, Francis McDonald,- Hughie Mack, Arthur Stuart Hull, John Steppling, Wade Boteler and others give Mr. MacLean excellent support and aid him materially in putting over his comedy. The pie ture is directed by Lloyd Ingraham.
 The screen version is based on two successful Broadway successes: The Aviator" by James H. Mont gomery, and the musical comedy, Going Up," which was adapted from the former play of Otto A. Harbach and Louis A. Hirsch.

HEALTH SERVICE TO STUDY COMMON COLD

WASHINGTON, Dec. 16.-(By As sociated Press)-A detailed study of common colds is to be made by the public health service in cooperation with a number of the country's lead ing universities. Dr. Hugh c. Cum ming, surgeon general, says colds, influenza and similar conditions are responsible for a great deal of suf- fering, loss of time, disability and not inconsiderable number of deaths.
 He says there are few, if any, in- dividuals who do not suffer from some acute respiratory condition at least once year, losing from g. day to a week or more as a result, and some attacks develop into more seri- ous conditions, a { times even a latent pulmonary tuberculosis being light ed up
 Comparatively little is definitely known as to the real causes, distribu- ton, manner of spread, and epidemi- ology of these so-called minor re- spiratory ailments, Dr. Cummings says. and this detailed study being undertaken is expected to be of value in attempting to prevent these af factions.
 The work will be actively under Hopkins Medical school, Georgetown and Howard universities, Washing ton; Tulane university, New Orleans: Ohio State university, University of Chicago and University of California. It is anticipated the studies will eX- tend over two or three years.

TAXATION MAY BE ISSUE
IN PRESIDENTIAL RACE

are paid by more individuals than
would receive the bonus, but the diff
ference is that the bonus supporters
are organized and the taxpayers
are not, and also not a few of the
taxpayers themselves would be re-
cipients of bonuses. Very few mem
bers of congress will dare to oppose
the bonus in the coming session, and
the general impression prevails here
that unless President Coolidge takes
a determined stand the bill is as
good as passed now. This is be-
lieved to be one reason why Senator
Smoot is trying to discourage talk
of tax revision while Secretary Mel
lon, who is against the bonus, is
tempting the general public with a
tax revision program.
President Coolidge is determined
to make a record on economy. He
is said to be getting ready to pre-
sent to the December session of con
gress a comprehensive plan for re-
duction of expenditures, and there
are rumors that he will urge in gen
eral terms a reduction of taxes and
will include also a bonus proposal
that doesn't cost the government as
much money as previous bonus
measures.
Whatever position is taken by the
president, there is bound to be d de-
mand from the radicals for further
tax cuts, and this will give the po-
litical opponents of the adninistra-
ton both in the campaign before
and after. the national conventions
opportunities for trouble making.
Taxes will be ma or issue.
81 am very much in favor Of tax
reduction at this session OF con-
gress,' he said. 1--WE cannot act TOO
speedily so long as we act with in
telligence. If the fearful tax burden
now being carried can be relieved

Vised, as any one, declares to the eX-
tent of $500, 900, let us do so as
soon as possible"
