This change will also relieve the situation which has

PABLO CASALS' CONCERT.

Pablo CaSalS, master of the cello,
again displayed the completeness OF
his art in the recital at the National
Theater yesterday afternoon. The bad
weather was not an asset for the use
of any strlnged instrument, yet the
beauty of tone for which CasalS IS
noted cam, through. The opening
number, Brahms Sonata in +
Minor" gave Nicolai Mednikoff, at the
pia no, excellent opportunity, especial
" in the allegro moderate movement,
to show his ability, which harmonized
with the playing of the cellist. But
the cello came into its own in the
minuet and the lovely final move
ment. Smoothly rounded phrasing
md delicaIely graduated cadenzas
such as one has grown TO expect
from Mr.. Casals' fingers were present
in abundance.
Perhaps the Haydn Concerto in ID
Ma jor'' Was the high lishta of the
whole program both Tor cello and
piano. In this Mr.. CasalS used no
notes and the ripping. joyous phrases
of the old master were beautifully in
terpreted.
The final group of short pieces
was distinctive for Saint-Saens' Al
legro Appasionato" and Boccherini's
'Adagio and Allegro" both delight
fully performed. Florient Schmllt' 5
Chant Elegiaque" was quite in the
mood of a reverie, yet with little claim
to distinction. Petite ChanSon," by
Jean Hure, and May Mukle's The
Light Wind" were two dainty must
cal conceptions that seemed insignifi-
cant beside the works of the master
composers. Mr.. Casals' arrangement
of Granados' Spanish Dance" the
one encore, was the most colorful
thing on the program.

he really did not wonder that people
: generally did not go to hear organ
music, for so many felt they would be
bored with the colorless type of pro-

| lists.
J MI Swinnen's own program was a
remarkably well balanced one, with
numbers calculated to please every
body. There has certainly been no
other organlst to date who has gotten
from the instrument at the Washing
ton Auditorium the variety of effects

He opened his program with the
brilliant Bach '"Toccata and Fugue in
D Minor" 1t was played very much
forte. The characteristics of the great
composer were well empha sized. A
meditative "Ballade in c Minor" by
Schubert followed. Further contrast
came in Liadow's "Une Tabatiere
| Musique,' which in the organ yer.
| sion has the exact quality Of a music
box that is lacking in even the best
piano interpreted ion. The piano part
of the organ was shown to advantage
in Mozart "Minuet in D." which was
charmingly played. The old English

was effectively ornamented with bells
and everything.
a feature was the playing of the
allegro Nivace" from Widor's Fifth
Symphony" with a remarkable pedal
cadenza by Mr.. Swimmer
AS an encore Mr.. swimmer played a
| medley fmprovised upon the airs of
the South and the Civil War period
generally. He probably was surprised
because Dixie received hearty ap-
plause upon its inevitable appearance
about halfway through the number.
yet Columbia, the Gem of the
Ocean" blared forth magnificently
without single hand clap until the
very end.
In the second half of the program
Widor'S 'ScherZo" from the Fourth
symphony" was a gay contrast to
Dickinson's lullaby, and Nardini pro-
V1ded a lovely "Andante Canta bile"
The largo and finale of Dvorak's
New World Symphony" however,
aroused much more interest. Mr..

Swimmer did not materially improve
the beautifully simple largo with his
ornate decorations, and it was evident
that he was content to leave the
beauty of the finale almost undis-
turbed.
The last number, added by special
request, was Mr.. Swinnen's own IA
nous composition, an extremely de-
Scriptive Storm" During this num-
Der, when the storm was at it's
worst, the lights were eXtinguished
and everything was done to contrib
ute to the dramatic possibilities of
the music. Played on an organ with
all the attachments of the one at
the Auditorium. the work certainly
possesses tremendous possibilities of
description. Mr.. swimmer didn't miss
one OF them. At the end he came
back and played The Star Spangled
Banner" H. r.

A WISH TO KEEP STORE

President coolidge's recollection
that as . country lad he wished to
keep store shows that he had much
in common with other country lads.
It stamps no mark of individuality
on his boyish aspirations nor indicates
any special aptitude for the Presi-
dency.
The country store to the mind Of
the country Lad Of that era was
= place Of distinction, the man who
kept 1t = parsonage Of importance
In the community, who was supposed
to be in closer touch with the great
outside world than were most Of the
neighbors. He 1t was who OCCASION
ally went to Boston On business and
stopped over night at the American
House or Young's. That the country
youth should wish to keep store was
assurance that he was ambitious to
get ahead in the world.
While that kind of a wish Is quite
common. or used to be. with country
lads, it nevertheless is a manifesto
ton Of a quality which all Presidents
in this country have possessed.

RECALLS DISTRESSING coNDI'
TIONS

An authorized spokesman Of organ
tied labor, George o. Guthrie OF
Trenton, N. j.. presented at the
White House a few days ago an ap-
peal to the President to prevent
tinkering with the tariff.
The spokesman quoted from a re-
cent statement OF the prominent
Democrat, who seeks election In
Pennsylvania to the U. S. Senate,
William B. Wilson, formerly Secre-
tary Of Labor. The statement quot
ed IL as follows:
THE real wage is not the money
received, but the amount of buying
power received. . There Is not
the slightest doubt that the Amer
lean worker Is not only better paid
than any other workers, but can buy
more with his money"
Mr.. Guthrie goes on to remind US
that this state of affairs may only
be maintained by means Of an AIDE
ouate protective tariff such as that
provided under the Fordney.Macon1-
Der act, lndL dHlonS lue duoStAoi'
now before the American public none
Is of more Importance than the con-
tinuance Of our high standards OF
living. He recalls the great num-
bers Of those who vainly sought en-
pIoyment under the distressing con-
ditions which existed in this country
in 1e20-21, when foreign-made goods
were driving American products
from our American markets"
We will do well to recall the con-
ditions to which Mr.. Guthrie refers.
