MOTET SOCIETY
PLEASES IN
CONCERT
Memorial Continental Hall Is
Thronged by Lovers of
Choral Music.

The Benefit concert given last
evening by the Motel Choral So
ciety at Memorial Continental Hall
was a splendid success, financially
as well as musically, judging from
the large audience which generous
ly applauded the splendid work of
the chorus. Excellent rhythm and
absolute unison in tone and phras-
ing was the keynote of the entire
program.
Otto II. Simon, director, is mas.
ter of his art. blending the voices
together in exquisite harmony, and
by series of expressions and re-
pressions Of rare tone quality paints
a picture of true vocal beauty.
Much could be said of the group
of chOruses taken from Israel in
Egypt" by the immortal HAndel
In He Sent a Thick Darkness"
one sensed the coming darkness In
the low subdued tones Of the alto
and bass.
The second group of choruses fol.
lowing the motel of Bach, "SleeperS
"A" "AACn WOIl all 6nLnuSldSIIC
response from the audience, were
the songs Of the children Of Shem.
Ham and Japheth from the oratorio
THE Tower of Babel" by Rubin
stein. Here again one could feel
the monotony of the desert in the
deep sonOrous chords.
The solo work OF Victor Golibart
tenor, in the selection from Flight
Into Egypt" by Berlioz was es-
specially fine.
An interesting feature of the
evening was the illumination Of the
tree just before Nativity choruses.
The white radiance from myrtads OF
tiny lights, covering a tree reached
half way to the ceiling, shed It's
light over a hushed audience. MAX
ing lasting impression OF beauty
and reverence.
The baritone solo by John Waters,
with the blending of the alto and
soprano voices was gratifying. A
selection from 1.-THE Messiah con.
cluded the program.

Commerce Chambers Pro-
posaI Raises Storm of
Opposition.

Ancient enemies here, the ''esthe-
tics" and the "mundanes," are be-
stirring themselves in their rival
camps today. girding for the battle
over whether or not Washington
should make attempt to induce
manufacturing interests to locate
here.
On the one hand, the Chamber
Of Commerce and some other civic
organizations are lined up in favor
of the scheme, while art circles are
stirred to their easels over the idea.
Two days ago the Chamber let
itself in for a wild storm of pro-
tests when it unanimously agreed
with it's manufacturing committee
that there should be steps taken to
make Washington a favorable city
for manufacturing interests.
Opposition Grows. :
Last night rumblings of the OPP
position beclouded the Chamber s
horizon and today these rumblings,
ever increasing in their volume, are
assuming the creScendO that be-
speaks much uneasineSs.
Charles Moore, chairman of the
Fine Arts Committee, took his
fling at the proposal thus: ''The
local Chambers ambitions are spas
modic and should cause no alarm.
During the war a steel plant sprang
up here, but it has since been
aba ndoned. This is not the first
time local commercial interests
have endeavored to induce manu-
featuring interests to locate here.
1t has been going on for thirty
years"
Maj. J. Franklin Bell. engineer
commissioner, agreed with the
Chamber of Commerce that manu-
featuring interests should be en-
couraged to locate here.
1.-The beauty Of the city should
not be disfigured IL manufacturing
is properly handled" he said.
Charles A. Baker, president Of
the Federation of Citizens Associa-
tons, said: UNLESS carefully safe
guarded, with certain clear restric-
tons, the Chamber has embarked
upon a dangerous policy. The one
thought which should be in the
mind Of every loyal citizen is the
effect this movement will have
upon the future of Washington.
We would all like to know just how
far the Chamber intends to go in
industrial developments"

IDLENESS

No man has the right to be idle.
Six days thou shalt work. 1t is a
direct command resting upon every
individual. There are no con6 ions,
circumstances or positions in life
which authorize one to spend his
time in idleness.
The fact that an individual is
rich does not excuse him from labor.
Every man, regardless of his wealth.
his position, his possessions or his
power, should be made to labor
every day in the week. For one to
fold his hands in idleness and leave
his brain unoccupied is to make Of
himself a nuisance and an incubator
of evil.
The amusement craze of today is
the direct evolution of idleness.
There are so many ! lie men and idle
women that it has been possible to
build up great amusement enter
prises. The idleness f people is
being exploited by the avariciOus.
The breaking down Of society is
another evolution of idleness. Idle
women. no home duties. TO children
to care for. no domestic labor 90
perform. trans OrmS them mo dan
gerOus social factors. They become
the agents, or they become the OBJ
jects of every vicious design and de-
sire.
Take the yOung boys and the
young girls with idle hands. idle
brains, and unOccupied time. They
become the agents of the Devil, and
expensive menaces to society. The
aged men and women with nothing
to occupy their time or employ their
hands become a burden TO them
selves and a sorrow to all aroxad
them.
Idieness curses youth. damns the
middle aged, and brings sorrow and
premature death to the aged. Idle
ness fills the dens of dissipation,
crowds the pool rooms, occupies the
parks, filters up the streets. and
gluts the avenues OF traffic. Idle
ness is mans curse and the devils
host veRnnn
