STAR HERALD TO AGAIN
POST ELECTION RETURNS
AUGUST 3, A, 5 and 6

Following our custom, the Star Her
aid will attempt to handle the pri-
mary election returns from over the
county as fast as they are counted on
the night of August 10.
We are depending on our old report
ers, the election judges and clerks,
the township committeeman and all
other friends who are interested, to
assist us in getting the returns.
We ask that the complete totals,
both state and county, be phOned in as
soon as counted. A number of report
ers have heretofore sent in results of
county races only but, on account of
the unusual interest this year in the
state races, we wish to give com
plete report. We respectfully ask that
our reporters keep this request in
mind.
There will be a big scoreboard, elec-
trically lighted, in front of the Star
Herald Office and seats will be arrang-
ed in the street.
Should any reporter incur any ex-
pense in sending in the count from his
township, the Star Herald will be glad
to pay it. Our aim is to get the re-
port as soon as the votes are counted
and if q little expense is incurred we
are prepared to handle it.
To our friends over the county, we
ask that you see your judges and
clerks or your township committeeman
and if they have not made arrange
ments to send in the report, see to it
that someone is detailed to do it or
let us know and we will take it up.

MUSIC NOTES
By JESSIE MCBRIDE

It is the thing that win set q
standard for the nation. It is q
thing that will make possible an
international interchange Of culture
that will lift us in the eyes of other
great nations of the world.
There is scarcely single city
in the United States, of first rank. .
Mr.. Hetzel continued. without a
permanent Symphony Orchestra, ex-
cept the National Capital All the
others felt the need of their own
orchestra, for the development of
musical life, which Is absolutely I'M
possible without 1t.
THE washington Symphony Or
chestra viii, OF course, hay to
prove also, in few regular sym
phony concerts. its quality.
Il like to quote Walter Dam
rosch, who said In the New York
Times that: Having q permanent
orchestra means not only having
on hand d Little symphony, sew
eral Chamber Music groups. but
also trained opera orchestra, with
capable inatrumentalists who are
first class soloists.'
ITO our own musicians It further
offers freedom from a daily six
hours service, with unlimited bene-
fits to the education OF youth to be
derived from their leisure mo-
ments."
- u
Our Symphony Orchestra will un-
doubtediy, this season of 1861,
give us some fine concerts.
Mr.. Hetzel would desire to make
them attractive to the many.
He desires to play music Of
classic simplicity, music that gets
under the skim by virtue Of its
oft-repeated themes.
Do you like the prospectus?
Who is going to substantive the
hopes?
The Washington Times il strongly
behind this movement to put the
Washington Symphony Orchestra
ION the map"
We would be glad to hear from
the Public on this subject.
We want your" arguments.

THE WASHINGTON
SYMPHONY

SYMPHONY
When Kurt Hetzel takes up the
baton of the Washington symphony
Orchestra this season 1t VIII be
with the purpose Of creating per.
nnanent symphony orchestra for the
National Capital.
There are three ways by which q
symphony orchestra may be made
a vital part of our civic life, with
its broader reach into the national.
the international life that our city
stands for.
First. It could be in the hands OF
an orchestra association. with a
chairman who would establish it a.
an important asset to the city as
the orchestras OF Boston, New York,
Philadelphia, Cincinnati, Chicago.
Detroit. Cleveland and Los Angeles
have become.
The concert last spring, under
the baton OF Mr., Hetzel, proved his
musicianship and also the equally
important fact that we have, among
our resident musicians, rs men
capable Of maintaining the standard
requisite for q symphony.
"I wonder why people interested
in advertising washington have not
found out yet how cleverly other
cities use their orchestras for that
purpose" says Mr.. Hetzel.
"The orchestras Of Minneapolis,
Cleveland, Los Angeles, Detroit,
Seattle, and others besides the older
ones. put the names OF their cities
almost daily before our eyes and
emphasize proudly the ownership
of a first class organization in a
way that makes everybody think
these cities must have unlimited
funds"
But Of other ways OF making this
thing possible.
**k
Second, the permanent fund for A
symphony orchestra could be made
through popular subscription.
Third, and this Is the ultimate,
when ready it could have a Con-
gress of the United States behinc
It. This latter is the ideal toward
which America yearns.
