500 Songs in Repertoire.

IT is estimated that Anna Case, the
distinguished American soprano, who
will give one of her famous recitals at
the National Theater Thursday after
noon, has in her repertoire over 500
songs, exclusive of operatic arias.
Miss Case has always been noted for
her varied programs and is indefatigable
in searching out new material. One of
her principal reasons for going to Eu-
rope during the past Summer, aside
from her successful debut recital at
Queens Hall, London, was to secure
personally new manuscript material for
use on the programs Of her extensive
tours this season. Miss Case sings in
English, French, Italian, German and
Scandinavian, being noted for the clarity
of her enunciation in all these tongues.
In arranging a program she rarely
groups songs in chronological order or
according to the nationality of the songs.
She has always tried rather to build a
musical mood, to bring out what might

NIGHT.

The second Of series OF lecture-re-
cltals under the auspices Of the
Washington Society of the Fine Arts
will be given by Alfred j. Swan in
the Central High School Auditorium
tomorrow night at SIS. The subject
VIII be Beethoven and Shubert-
Two Ideals in Music"
Mr.. Swan was born in 1890 in St.
Petersburg, Russia, of English
parents. and studied the violin under
Leopold Lange Ga pupil of Auer and
first violinist at the Imperial Opera
These studies were continued in
England with A. J. Slocombe. 1t
was as a violinist that Alfred Swan
first was Known. Mr.. Swans father
decided on the legal profession for
his son, and the latter accordingly
matriculated at Exeter College. OK
ford, in 1908. In 1911 he abandoned
his legal studies and returned to
his home in st. Petersburg to devote
himself to music. He entered the
Imperial Conservatoire, where he
took the usual theoretical subjects
and piano. 1t is to the great Rus
sian critic V. Karatuigin that Mr..
Swan owes much of his knowledge
Of musical form and history.
War and revolution cut short his
musical development. Engaged in
relief work with the American Red
Cross in Siberia, cut off from his
home by the civil war, Alfred Swan,
by way of the Far East and the
American continent, finally got to
England in 1920. Here he gained a
reputation as writer on music
("Chesterian," Musical Times") and
n lecturer (T6ynbee Hall, London).
In 1921 he was called to the Uni
versity of Virginia as assistant pro-
fessor of music, and to Sweet Briar
College, Va. 1t was then that the
book on "Scriabin," the great Rus
sian tone-poet and mystic, was writ
ten which has ELECTED a lively and
favorable reaction in the British press
In 1923 Mr.. Swan moved to New
York, following invitations to teach
and lecture with such organizations
rs the Master Institute OF United
Arts, the International Composers
Guild, etc. In January, 1924, he was
appointed lecturer for the board of
education. He has Just completed a
book on Russia and Its Contribution
to the Worlds Music"

be called the harmonious contrast with
light and shade in each group
In speaking of programs Miss Case
said in recent interview: 'The hard
est task of a singer is to find really
good songs and enough of them to make
a program of interest and variety with
at once an appeal to the public and a
high musical standard. Songs must not
only suit ones voice, but ones tempera-
'ment, for unless 1 can feel myself into
the atmosphere OF a song | simply
cannot sing it. Plaintive songs, dra-
matte ones and ones with a note of
melancholy are not rare; it is the bright
songs which throw these others in con-
trast that are not so easily to be found.
And then you have to avoid as much as
possible, what other singers use. The
further problem Of appearing before the
same public for a. second, third and
fourth time complicates matters still
more. 1 have discovered a number OF
new songs in Europe this Summer which
I hope my public will like"

IF CAME LAWS PROPOSED
 BY [. ?. vVALKEE'

In a letter to the Gateway receiy
 ed from Ernest P. Walker, chief ful ed from Ernest P. Walker, fur war den and U S. game warden in charge of wild life of Alaska, he states that the subject of game regulations, inas much as possible under the existine act, is up for consideration, and the biological bureau is inviting organi- ations and individuals to submit their suggestions and changes in prevail ing regulations to him at his office in Juneau
 MT. Walker states that a number of parties from this section have sug- gested the opening of the moose sea son on September first and have rec commended a bag limit of one. He adds: 'I recall that you favored a zone about the town closed to hunt ing. Such regulation would be pos sibe under the existing act. The ad- visibility of protected strip on each side of the Government railway, say one or two miles on each side, has been discussed, the object of this be- ing to protect and afford a check on the indiscriminate shooting by sec ton men and others from the rail road, which results in the destruction and driving away of game. These nc doubt, and others are well worthy Of consideration"
 Recommendations should have sub mitted with them reasons for same and those involving designated areas should specifically and clearly out line boundaries for such areas.
 Suggestions will also be received on fur seasons and regulations.
 Material must be in the hands of MT. Walker not later than February 20.
 There is no doubt but that the sea son for killing moose is unsatisfactory to local sportsmen on account of the lake freezing up and navigation be- ing impaired about the time the sea- son closes. To kill moose before the weather is cold enough is to waste them. By making the season month later hunters could go over the ice by dog team and bring in any moose killed without danger of the meat spelling.

SECRETARY MELLON
 INQUIRIES C0UZENS
 WHY DODGE TAXES

WASHINGTON, D. C., Jan 22- Secretary of the Treasury Mellon made public today a letter he had written to Senator Couzens, of Mich igan, replying to the letters of crt- cism of the administration propos- als to cut the surtaX rate down to 25 per cent. In his reply, the secretary cited COuzens himself, as a shining ex ample of the evils of the present tax law which allows a rich man to make all his investments in tax exempt se curities and thus avoid paying any income tax He called the attention of Couzens to the fact that the Mich igan senator had an income of over one million dollars year and yet he did not pay one cent into the nation al treasury for the support of his gov ernment. The senator's criticism of the Mellon proposal to amend the con stitution by prohibiting the further is suance of tax exempt securities was attacked on the ground that the pres ent law allowed the senator to avoid paying taxes when the Mellon pro- posals would force him to pay a tax by employing his funds in general busi4ess. The secretary directly asl ed Couzens: Must a system which permits man with an income of ov- CT a million a year to pay not one cent to support his government re- main unaltered."

JUNEAU WANTS BOND
 ISSUE FOR s2OQ,0OQ

A new bill seking authority for Ju neau to float a bond issue amounting to $200,000 has been introduced in Congress by Delegate Sutheland.

 If congress approves the bill, the ques' ion of floating the issue for tLc purpose mentioned will be put before the people of the community to vote on majority being necessary before the bonds could be placed on the mar ket.

TOURIST TRAVEL BRINGS
 ICE PLANT TO WRANGELL

As a result of tourist travel during the past summer, Wrangell is to have first-class cold storage plant The way it happened was like this: Last summer a Dr. Leet got to talking a bout the town to one of the local bus mess men and he was informed that all the community lacked was cold storage plant. Upon the doctors re turn to the States, he informed his son of the fact; so the son, being a cold storage engineer, got in touch with the chamber of commerce, be- came interested and bought ticket to wrangell. The young man promot- ed stock company and bought two thirds of the stock and will begin building in short time.
 This is one instance of what tour ists do for country. Encourage the trade and tourists'n come.
