MARGARET DENEKE'S RECITAL.

MARGARET DENEKE'S RECITAL.
To even the most jaded and sophis-
ticated individual the colorful vari-
ance in personalities is a subject that
never tires To go to Mary Gardens
recital in the morning yesterday and
then. a few hours later, to hear the
delightful lecture-recital on Dance
Rhythms in Classical Music" present
ed by another distinct but different
personality at the Library of Con-
gress in the afternoon was a real ex-
perience in contrasts. Miss Margaret
Deneke is an intellectual, precise En-
glishwoman. Behind the reserve and
almost shyness, Miss Deneke has a
marvellous sense of humor, which she
never let's run away with her, but
pulls up short the second she thinks
her audience has had enough.
Miss Deneke is choir master OF
Lady Margaret Hall in Oxford. Eng
land. She is not a graduate of the
school, but an honorary member.
First and foremost she Is a remark
ably talented pianist; there were
times yesterday when her hearers
wished she would not be quite so
systematic in following her definitely
planned talk schedule and linger
longer at the piano. especially in the
Bach numbers. Secondly, Miss Deneke
is a conscientious, thorough musician.
She studied piano with Eugenia
Schumann, the youngest daughter OF
Robert and Clara Schumann. She re-
members as a very small child having
played for the great Nine. Schumann.
and she tells of how madame's bright
eyes and wonderful smile are among
her earliest memories. Twice she
played forFClara Schumann, once in
London and once in Switzerland. Miss
Deneke, prior to the war, made
number of concert tours with the
Austrian violinist Nine. Marie Solidat
"a pupil of Joseph Joachim), who has
one of the most beautiful violins in
the world, a Guarnerius del GesN,
which belonged to Bazzini.
Miss Deneke became associated with
Oxford and her work with the choir
there. She found her lecture-recitals,
such as the one she gave yesterday at
the library, were popular. The col
lege needed, and still needs. funds to
carry on its activities, so Miss Deneke
set forth, donating her services to
this cause. For three years she has
done this kind of concert work in
England, and finally the college asked
her to come to America and carry on
the work. Miss Deneke says she is
charmed with the hospitality and en-
thusiasm of her audiences over here.
She goes home, sailing on the Beren-
garia December Is, after completing
tour Of As concerts. Miss Deneke's
work over here has been primarily in
large colleges and universities. Her
first American concert was given in
the home Of Miss Nevins, sister of
Mrs. Edward MacDowell, at Shaw
Farms, Waterford Conn. The Library
concert was her fortieth.

with William Byrd's Anglization of
the Spanish "Parvane" under the
amusingly British title, Earl Of
Salisbury Then come the old
dances Of the classical suite, the allie

Hubart Parry claims for England, and
the Italians also claim. Bach, Brahms,
Beethoven and Mozart provided beau
tiful examples Of these dance rhythms,
and Mozart and Haydn were both
brought into service to illustrate the
more pompous minuet. Then came
the walz with Shubert and Schu-
mann sketched in interesting portrait
ure by Miss Deneke's Word-pictures
as well as by their music. Tschaikow-
ski contributed the dominant polka
illustration. AS final encore, Miss
Deneke played little waltz by Gauby,
an old Austrian composer, who dedi-
Gated this charming number to Miss
Deneke. She returns next October.

advances of money to cotton growers,

with precision and severity, and that

MOTOR TOURISTS WHO TRAVEL THROUGH
STATE SPEND MORE THAN $15,OOO,OOO
EVERY YEAR

Auto tourists spend nealy $751;
100000 annually in Arizona, the
benefits of the touring traffic be-
ing distributed from border to bor-
der and there is hardly an enter
prise in the entire state that is not
affected either directly or other
wise in the scope Of this gigantic
expenditure.
On every turn Of the rubber
casing upon well rolled highways,
the tourist distributes wealth in
Arizona. He is the states biggest
customer. from the minute he en-
ters. He leaves trail Of silver in
the wake Of the blue smoke Of his
exhaust. The motorists in his
,ceaseless trips across the state is
harbinger of good business and
leaves ready cash in the till. Pur-
chase of oil and gasoline are but
few of the things he does.
In the office of the highway en-
gineer of Arizona can be found a
mass Of statistics to substantiate
the position Of the tourist as the
Southwest's greatest patron. To
the uninitiated it is a stock OF
mathematics to cause q celebral
tornado. But it's easy to unravel
in the highly developed form fol-

Time spent in the state by the
average foreign car is estimated
at five days. Then with total of
$4,000 persons visiting the state
during 1925 determined by state
highway department statistics only
a little arithmetic is needed to de-
termine the fact that approximate
ly $4,000, 900 is left by the great
friendly army which crosses Ari-
szona's boundaries.
Employees in the office of
Chief Engineer w. w. Lane, of
the state highway department, in
calculating the number Of tourists
to cross the state annually are do
ing it upon the basis Of the months
already passed on the calendar
year. The amount Of travel upon
Wednesday is taken as the founda-
tion of figuring.
This, it is pointed out by Chief
Engineer Lane, is because il an
average was obtained of Sunday
traffic, it would be excessive and
not an indication Of the travel on
the other six days Of the week.
If the figures were compiled on
Monday it consequently would be
lighter. So Wednesday has been
found the ideal day upon which to
base figures Of actual tourist
travel within the state by means
of purely methodical calculation
if nothing else.
Many interesting things natural
ly contribute to the work Of the
state-highway department in its
pusuit to bring out an approxima-
tion Of the number Of out-of-state
cars which annually traverse high
ways Of this state. It has been
found that upon the state high.

Fire Prevention Is Easy.

Fire prevention is merely matter
Of ordinary care. The great majority
of fires come from causes that can be
avoided by the simplest precautions.
Cleanliness is one. Order is another.
Frequent inspection of premises is
another. Observance OF the most ele-
mentary rules of safety is fourth.
The owner OF a valuable machine
does not allow il to deteriorate
through lack of attention. He keeps
n oiled, free from rust. clean of grit,
lie watches it constantly and makes
Il capable Of doing the work assigned
to H. In just the same manner the
owner of a business keeps 1t free from
clogging trash. rids it of dangerous
combustibles. adopts fire preventive
appliances. He keeps his business
establishment prepared for fullest eff
ciency at a minimum OF risk from fire.
The householder who Is considerate
of the safety of his family likewise
keeps his premises free from trash
that may cause fire. He inspects his
home systematically TO make certain

that there are no flre-making corners,
no loose electric wires, no exposed
matches. He runs his house as he
should run his motor car. or as the
business man runs his shop or store
or factory. on the basis of security.
Most fires are due to the careless
ness OF people who have nothing at
stake. who throw lighted matches or

Is no trash to ignite. the carelessly

every person to be scrupulously care

first rule of safety should be learned
by all who are responsible for bust
ness and domestic premises, to keep
them free from fire-making materials

If everybody cleaned up the prem

everybody eXtinguished every match

would become so infreQuent that the

presented for public consumption an
article which declared that there is
no "crime wave" in this country, that
lawbreaking is not on the increase,
and that the present system of pun
ishment for crime is all wrong. 1t
should be curative and not punitive.
1t should be milder and more consid'
crate Of the lawbreaker.
To this statement Of the situation
there is bound to be a general dis
sent The public will not accept the
hypothesis that there is no more
crime in America than the increase
of the population justifies, or that
milder penalties are desirable to cope
with the normal percentage of Of
fenses. On the contrary, there Is
definite and deepening belief in the
fact that crime is on the increase and
that the cure lies in swifter and stiff
er punishments.
Surely the coincidence Of the new
order of the law in New York State
and the remarkable lack Of crime dur
ing the most lawless period OF the
week, just noted, will strengthen the
public belief that sharper penalties,
more quickly applied, constitute the
cure for the crime evil, and that un-
less and until such penalties are pro-
vided by the law and applied by the
courts there will be an increase of
crime out of proportion to the popu-
lation growth, Mr.. Darrow to the con-
trary notwithstanding.
