MUSIC

A good sized audience of school chill
dren, parents and others interested
in establishing the fundamentals OF
music in the youthful mind enjoyed
a program that would have done
credit to many adults who perform
on the amateur stage during the
music season, in the auditorium of
the National Museum Natural His
tory building yesterday afternoon,
when a number of Washington chill
dren took part in the various roles
of composer, conductor, members of
a symphony orchestra and as solo
performers There was one omis-
sion: none of the children sang. The
only vocal numbers were contributed
by a charming bevy of embryonic
school teachers from the Wilson
Normal School under the skilled lead
ership of Bernice Randall Angelica.
The children participating were all
members of various children's clubs,
the Junior Clubs of the National
Federation of Music Clubs in the Dis
trict. The outstanding features were
the two toy symphonies played by the
Vivivoce Club, Frances Gutelius, direc-
tor, and including a work by Thelma
Callahan, a member, who turned out
composition that was admirable.
Little Ted Crum, not yet in his teens,
conducted the Haydn TOY Sym
phony" and many small tots probably
in the second and third grades at
school were among the ardent 'in-
strumentalists.'
Another especially fine achievement
was the playing of Victor Herbert S
"Serenade" by a trio of violinist,
'cellist and pianist, showing the
planting of an interest by participa-
ton in chamber music, the most deli
cate of the musical arts. Mrs. George
Gravatt was leader for the group rep
resented by this trio. Miss Helen Mil
ler's group democstrated the study of
fundamental harmony by Chord
Races" Two representatives of the
"B Natural Club" Mrs. G.. F. Will
liams and Miss Caroline Bender. di-
rectors: three of the Progressive Club,
Mrs. Abbie Higgins, director; and one
of the Crescendo Club, Miss Pearl
Waugh, director, gave piano selec-
tions.
The musical art of dancing was well
represented by little Anne Breitbarth
and several older girls from the Tcher-
nikoff Gardiner Studio. All the par
ticipants were required to pass two
"auditions" in order to qualify for ap
pearance in the program. This is
necessary to maintain a high stand
ard for the performances which are
primarily organized to give the chill
dren practical experience in appear
anceS and to show those interested in
musical progress the work actually
being done with ,tthe coming genera
ton. This first program was an ad
mirable start.

attempts will be made to still further
reduce this sum.
I'm our club and business activities
we meet thousands of people from all
sections OF the country-people who
are voters. Invariably these people
want to see Washington made a beau
tifui capital city and likewise they
invariably want the Sederal Govern
ment to stand it's proper share of the
expense Of running a capital city.
Likewise these people are invariably
surprised to learn that Washington
has no say in it's physical affairs nor
in the distribution Of its own tax
moneys.
Small Group Dictates.
"At the same time there are large
numbers of Senators and Repre-
who share these same feel
ings, but it Is a fact that small group
in Congress seems to have a great
amount Of influence in regard to Dis
trict of Columbia affairs. The result
is that at the present time the Fed
eral Government is paying not more
than 20 per cent of the cost of run
ming the District of Columbia.
This means that the Government
takes some thirty-two millions OF our
tax money and spends it practically
without regarding the community
needs. Likewise the Congress declines
to spend additional of our moneys
which we are willing to spend for
such needs.
LAS a result our school building
program is held behind, our highways
are a national disgrace. we lack the
high pressure water system, and SO on
This deplorable condition will continue
in this community until the rank and
file of our citizens decide that fur
ther forbearance is useless and ac-
cordingly agree on determined cam
paign for the securing of Legislation
which will guarantee the proper han
ding of the finances of the City of
Washington.
For years and years we have
drifted and we cannot hope for bet
terment of conditions until we make d
demand for a constructive change.
Remember the governed get just the
kind of government to which they are
entitled If we, the citizens of Wash
ington. will put something into the life
of this community from a civic stand
point we will obtain proper recognition
and results. Otherwise we will get
nothing and we will get just what we
deserve -

Indians Number 346,962;
Increase 1000 a Year

Washington Slowly but steadily
the Indian population of the United
States of America has been increasing.
In 1924 the official count fixed the
total number of aborigines at 346,962,
one-half of them full-blooded. For
more than a generation the total has
increased at the rate of about 1000
year.
Thirty years ago the Indian popula-
ton dropped for a time below 100000.
1t has been estimated that at the time
Columbus discovered America there
were about $4,000 Indians of all
tribes roaming the country. In other
words, the present Indian population
of the United States is more than 40
per cent that of the original total be-
fore the coming of the white man.
Oklahoma has more Indians than
any other state-about 100000. Ari-
IONA has 5000 South. Dakota 1900.
New Mexico 10000. California 10000
Minnesota $4,000, and Montana 10000
New York has an Indian population of
more than 5000.
These totals do not include about
$4,000 who no longer live with their
tribes and are counted in the general
population.

WON'T LET US TELL
OF OUR OWN TRAVELS
(Percy Waxman in Life. }

What is it that makes people think
that just because they've been to Eur
ope, seen the sun set behind the Py-
rennes, ridden in a Venetian gondOla
or eaten an omelette in Paris, they're
entitled to come back home and bore
the population with long recital of
their unique adventures? They make
me sick.
Recently met one of these abroad
casters who had just returned from
Mediterranean cruise. Great Ra! but
she was fluent informer. She start
ed in with her little travelogue from
the minute she had had her passport
pictures taken clean through the first
Switchboard tournament On to the
landing at Havre, across to Biskra,
way over to Cairo, and down the Nile
with full descriptions of every stop
over between Aleppo and Forty second
street. She kept up her rattle for
such whale of time that I never
did get chance to let her know I'd
just arrived from Panama and had a
lot of genuinely interesting things to
tell her.
