lines so wonderfully developed by
Widor, are a step further along the
path Of gan-composition, and it
will be rare privilege for organist,
students and lovers of organ music
generally to have the opportunity of
hearing them played by the composer
himself upon an American organ,
where their orchestral possibilities
may be disclosed to their fullest
extent.
Trained in the severe school of
French musicians, pupil Of Franck,
Widor and other notable composers,
Vierne won the first prize in organ
in 1894 at the age Of "a. Two years
previously he had been appointed
Widor's assistant at ST. Sulpice and
became tGuilmant's assistant at the
conservatory until the death of the
master in 1911. Among his own
pupils Vierne has numbered many of
the foremost interpreters not only of
France but America and England.
The names of the great Dupre, of
Bonnet, Jacob, Barrie and Boulanger
alone are sufficient commentary on
this fact.
Always noted for his gift of impro.
visation M. Vierne has served to de-
velop this gift among many. of his
pupils. AS a performer he has been
noted for the clarity and purity Of
his style, mellowed by years of ex-
perience. 1t is said that M. Vierne
is preparing q special arrangement
for orchestra and organ of certain
movements from his symphonies
grouped together under the title of
pieces Symphoniques, which he
will play Cor the first time during his
forthcoming American tour. The
management of the tour as in the
case Of Courbin, Dupre, Hollins and
Christian, will be divided between
Alexander Russell, director Of the
Wanamaker Auditorium, for con-
certs in the Feast, and Bogue La

Editor of The Times: ,
Permit me to congratulate you
upon your editorial 1.-THE Silent
insult" 1t was worth while and
timely
There is room for more and Al
most striking feature was the fact
that neither the News or Star car
ried any mention of the news that
Indiana was under consideration at
the investigation at Chicago.
Today's news item of a $1,000 900
bond issue of the Midland Utilities
Company Is significant. The insult
interests in Indiana are not only in
trastate, but interstate.
The public securities commission
should be able to tell the extent of
the insult holdings and their power
in Indiana politically as well as
financially. With Indiana the very
heart of the insult interests it would
almost follow that we are little diff
ferent from Illinois and Pennsyl-
vania; however, there is always that
possibility that we may have es.
capped.
The opportunity is here for you
to do a great service and obtain the
glory and 1 commend the start as
do many others.
Yours truly.

No Goose Step Here

The idea that we are growing in
ferior through organization and ma.
chine is all rot.
So, too, is the idea that we are
losing the benefit of individual am.
bition and genius.
There is danger in too much of
the goose step. naturally, just as
there is danger in too much of any
thing, but, taken man for man, the
modern world is the strongest,
brightest and most decent world that
ever existed, and publicity was made
possible by cable, telegraph, linotype,
high power press. and men on their
toes have done great deal to make
it so.

Stimulating

If the flaming reports of evil
bring out the worst there is in us,
as uplifters sometimes complain,
equally flaming reports of good
bring out the best.
You can't turn on a bright light
without exposing dirt as we'll as
beauty, but who wants to live in the
dark merely to hide the dirt.
Newspapers and news services
have brought to us poor humans an
inspiration we never knew before
an inspiration to invent, discover

rious activities.

to follow crooked paths, the normal

The Audience Counts

Publicity, quick and efficient, is
doing a lot to make us stronger.
We have faster runners than we
ever had. higher jumpers and better

Nothing stimulates and improves
a performer, whether in the theater,
on the track, or leading an army,
like the size and responsiveness of
his audience.

Editor of The Times:
Sometimes a youngster, who de-
sires to keep a reputation for civility,
nearly boils over with the desire to
make some tart remarks about these
old ladies' who smoker and gosxHn
about the modern girls who ~
their babies according to schedule"
From all the older generation says
about the morals of us younger folks
they must have made a devil of a
mess of bringing us up. Now why
i'll tarnation can't they sit back and
at least grant us the right to fair
chance to try out another system?
They score our young wives round
ly because they read books on baby
care and feeding, because they take
the child to the doctor for advice
at regular intervals, because they re-
fuse to pick the child up or shove
a bottle between its lips every time
| it cries.
They say we're inhuman, because
we believe the modern doctors Who
say that babies have to cry some
that's the way they get exercise.
They razz us numerically, and to
our faces, because we insist that
every gushing old person who comes
along shall not pick the child up
and jab an unwashed finger in it's
mouth.
They insist that the whole crowd
Of us, babies and all, will come to
some terrible end-at least that
these heartless young mothers who
leave baby with a nurse once, or
twice or even three times~a week to
get relaxation upon which to build
strength to better manage a house
hold, and perhaps have some more
babies, never will get to Heaven.
I'm just mad enough about the
verbal spankings my wife and I have
received throughout the period we
have been rearing our two children
to remark that If the old busybodies
had had the job and had handled6&
the way they did twenty-five yea
ago they'd have killed off half the
future generation. Our mothers were
not faced with half the child prob
lens our softer civilization has
created.
The best answer to the young
mothers tormentors lies in the
death rate. A baby has about twice
as much chance to live to child
hood now as 1t did a couple of dec.
| AIDES or so ago.
Do the doctors get all the credit
for that? Not by gilded safety pin.
If the young mothers were not
smart enough to apply the modern
rules to the exigencies Of their par
ticular children the doctors would
not have gotten to first base.
Come on, grandma. You had your
| chance on us. Now take a we'll de-
served rest and let us alone.

MINISTER PENSION
DRIVE LAUNCHED
Presbyterian Session at Bal
timore Hears Outline by
Will n. Hays.
BY the Associated Prese.

By the Associated Press.
BALTIMORE, Nd, May 29.-The
Presbyterian Church in the United
States of America today entered a
financial campaign which will result
in self-sustaining pensions for all its
ministers over IS years Of age. with
a reserve fund Of $15.000,0OO.
The pension system was organized
during the past year by laymens 8
committee under direction Of two emf
nent national figures.
Will II. Hays, known in the bust
ness world as the chief figure Of the
motion picture industry. is chairman
Of the COMMITTEES under his church
designation as ruling elder of the
Presbyterian church, of Sullivan, Ind.
Andrew w. Mellon, Secretary Of the
Treasury of the United States, Is
treasurer of the committee.
Plan Outlined BY Hays.
Mr.. Hays outlined the plan to the
general assembly as calling for the
stated endowment by contributions
and a levy Of 10 per cent of ministers
salaries from the churches co-operat'
ing in the plan. The church would
pay Tx per cent, and the minister II
per cent.
The only objection to the plan was
made by Rev. Albert II. Cannon of
Sanata Barbara, Calf. who called
upon the assembly to throw out the
plan and substitute a system based
upon assessment. DR.. Harry b.
Master. secretary of the board Of
ministerial sustentation and relief.
answered this argument by saying
that assessment systems always had
failed.
The response of the assembly in
certifying the plan by viva voce vote
was interpreted to mean that it would
be put into action forthwith.
The laymen's committee said it
would be unable to ask for contribu-
tiOns for the endowment until 1000
churches and an equal number Of
minister's had asserted. This compn-
ance has been received from $500
ministers and $500 churches.
Contributors to Plan.
The system is founded upon the
experience of actuaries in the field
OF endowment work. the principal
contributors to the plan being stats.
ticians from the Prudential Life In
surance Co. under the direction of
Edward Duffield. president of that
company ana vice moderator OF the
assembly.
The plan calls for the fund to be.
come self-supporting when the last
pensioner under the old system is
dead.
The delegates to the assembly spent
an afternoon on an outing. The pull

will be occupied by visiting Presby-
