Noted Artist to Play

The Washington Auditorium is
first in the field with concerts for
the new season.
John Philip Sousa and his famous
band will give two contents on
Wednesday, a matinee at $3.50 in
the afternoon, and evening concert
at $50. The March King" has
been a nationwide attraction with
the swing and zest of his leading
since he left our own United States
Marine Band many years ago.

prano, is soloist for both concerts.
In the afternoon all school chill
dren will be admitted to any seat in

March" at the intremission. Both

HOlIinS, Great Organist
For the first time in the history
of the organ in America, a profes.
sional organization has sponsored
the tour of a great organist, the
National Association of Organists.
Alfred Hollins, the famous blind
organist and composer from Eng.
land, is thus set upon the forth.
coming appearance in Washington
at the Washington Auditorium, Fri.
day, October 8, at $3.50 p. m.
, The distinguished decoration worn
by this English virtuoso have not,
so 1t Is said, affected the individu.
alistic style of his playing, which
the London Daily Telegraph last
season declared to be happier and
more facile than that of any other
organist," Yet, according to the
same paper, "Hollins never seeks
after the sensational" "Often he
brings q touch Of raciness to his
work, but this is always we'll placed
and controlled by good taste. Buoy.
ancy is the special quality of his
playing" and as the London Tele.
graph says, how rarely can that
be said of organists"'

Positive Cure for Diabetes
 Sought by Purifying lnsulin

PASADENA, Feb. 14.-A positive cure for diabetes through elimination of the impurities in so-called pure insulin, is being sought here at the California Institute of Technology by Dr. John J. Able, professor of phar- mocology and physiological chemistry of John Hopkins University.
 For some time physicians and scien- lists have been administering insulin believing it to be pure, said Doctor Able. Recently he found that even the purest contained foreign mater ials. He then obtained leave of ab- sence to continue his search for means of eliminating these impurities.
 If it is possible to obtain insulin in an absolutely pure and free state it's effect on the human body will be far more positive than it is at the pres ent time, Dr. Abel said.
