Crandall's Symphony
Orchestra,

TT Is rumored that Washington is
L to have a real symphony orchestra
of so musicians. The creation and
maintenance OF such an organization
has been attempted frequently in the
past under the auspices of patrons
of the arts, but. in the present in
stance, the problem is approached
from an entirely different and CO.
operative angle.
Harry NJ. Crandall, owner of group
of motion picture theaters here, is
said to have originated the plan for
a local symphony orchestra, utilizing,
as a nucleus, thu orchestras of his
Metropolitan and Tivoli theaters
under the joint direction OF Daniel
and Elias Breeskin. The latter was
concert master with the Minneapolis
Symphony Orchestra last season.
Weekly concerts will be given at
the Tivoli Theater on Sunday after
moons at o'clock and at least four
formal concerts Of two-hour length
are planned for each year, the pro-
ceeds from these concerts to be dis
tributed among the members Of. the
orchestra.
Courtney Hayden. president Of the
local musicians union. and w. NJ.
Lynch, secretary, have done much to
cooperate with Mr. Crandall in ar
ranging the practical details of the
undertaking. Even SO, the expense Of
maintaining SO large an orchestra. re-
hearsals and operation of the theater,
will make it impossible to predict a
profitable first season-from the hnap-
cial point Of view. This fact, how
ever, it is said, has been discounted
in advance, largely through the will
ingness of Washington's musicians to
make sacrifices in order to create in
the Capital permanent symphony
worthy of being ranked in time with
the famous organizations of Phila-
delphia, Boston. Chicago, New York
and Minneapolis.

Helen Ware in Washington

HELEN WARE, well known Ameri-
L can violinist who made her home
in Washington temporarily last year,
has returned this season to adopt
the city permanently as her place of
residence. Miss Ware says she be-
lieves that the Capital City is destined
to become the artistic and cultural
center of the United States.
I'm foreign countries the capital is
the center, usually, OF all artistic
life" said Miss Ware. 'It has not been
their abundance of wealth and peo-
pie have claimed those titles. The
center must inevitably shift to Wash
ington. In fact, steps in that direc-
tion have already been taken. A
determined effort is being made to
esta blish national conservatory of
music here. Some day it will be a
reality. The reason is not far to
seek. The atmosphere here is con-
genial The city is beautiful. 1t is
quiet. poised. unhurried and under
the guardianship of the Federal Gov
ernment which will foster, when the
time comes, the Nations artistic de-
velopment There is abundant op-
portunity for research here and the
inspiration of the old masters in
various branches of art in our mu-
seums and public buildings The large
foreign population here, with its in
herent sympathy to artistic things,
is boon. The type Of residents, un-
sullied by industrialism. should fur
nish good material for leadership"
Helen Ware studied the violin with
two great masters Of that instru-
ment. Sevcik Of Prague and Vienna
and Hubay Of Hungary. Her instru-
ment is a Stradivarius, insured in
England for $4,000. Miss Ware is a
composer and author as well as SOLO
ist and teacher. Some of her COM
positions for the violin are played by
leading virtuosi and her books, espe-
cially those on Hungarian, Slavic and
gypsy music, are said to be consider
ed authoritative.

Cranes and Geraniums.
From the Kansas City Times.

In the giant cranes used for lifting
heavy burdens we find a close kinsman
OF the dainty geranium which decorates
our greenhouses and window boxes. The
first use of the word crane was to
denote the long-legged member of the
bird family, with which all readers are
familiar. The Greek name for the bird
was ''geranos." When name was
sought for the geranium the old Greek
word was adopted. because of the fact
that the seed capsules of the flower have
a long projecting beak. resembling that
OF the bird. In many localities the
geranium is still known as cranes
bill" In machinery the crane" took its
name from the resemblance of its long
arm to the neck of the bird. In point of
naming. therefore, the flower. the bird
and the mechanical crane all belong to
the same family.

Women Increase
On Wall Street

New York; June % "a. P.)-Wall
Street is becoming more and more
dependent upon women; the aver
age space for each Office worker in
the financial district of Manhattan
has been cut down over six per cent
in the last decade; bankers maintain
more magnificent quarters and give
their employees less elbow room than
all other tenants of the most pre-
tentious Skyscrapers.
These are the outstanding conclu-
sions of experts of the Building
Owners and Managers Association,
after a survey of a group of the
worlds largest Office buildings un-
dertaken to obtain data for the use
of architects in designing skyscrap-
ers of the future.
Ten years ago, when the last ac-
curate door-to-door census of first
class Office buildings in the Wall
Street district was taken, it was
found that there were four men
employees for every woman. and
that the average floor space for
each worker was 125 square feet.
A similar census in a typical office
building recently revealed that in a
total population for the structure of
III, 1858, the proportion of men to wo-
men was only two to one, and that
the average working space had been
reduced to 107 square feet.

German Brewing
Shows Increase

Jena. Thuringia, June s GA. P. by
Mail)-Dr. Abel, director of the in
stitute of hygiene in Jena Univer-
sity, has compiled statistics showing
the increasing amounts of grain used
in brewing in Germany between
1918 to 1922, and says these figures
impress brewers more favorably
than they do specialists in hygiene.
The investigator says that from
the beginning of September, 1920 to
September, 1922, German brewers
used Al times as much food-stuffs in
making beer as the foreign Quakers
contributed for the relief of under
fed German children. The increase
of the alcoholic content of beer is
deplored by DR.. Abel. who says al
coholism has increased in Germany
in direct proportion to the increased
manufacture Of heavier beer.
The Nuremberg institute for the
care of alcoholics dealt with only 20
cases in 1917, while the number of
cases there in 1921 and 1922 respec.
lively was 442 and 1913. Other
hospitals are said by the doctor to
show similar increases in alcoholic
cases.
