unknown quantity. Yet she was
just recovering from an attack Of
laryngitis, which hampered her
when she appeared in recital at
Mrs. Lawrence Townsend's last
musical morning and which forced
her to cancel concert engage
ment in Richmond. Singing a
group of French songs, an Eng
fish group and several lovely Ger
man songs, she displayed a
glorious voice and great dramatic
power. in addition to considerable
beauty and a winning personality.
IN encore she gave the lovely
Some Day He'll Come from
Mime. Butterfly" in brilliant style.
Unknown here and unheralded,
Mr.. Hetzel proved to be an artist
of great ability. His piano num-
bers were brilliantly executed and
he reached the heights with the
magnificent ''Liebestod'' from
Tristan and Isolde"
A buffet supper was served fol-
lowing the recital. Baron and
Baroness Nathan, who are the
most charming of hosts, were as
sisted in receiving by the members

CDOIIDGE AND COAL

From thc outset of the anthra- cite strike President Coolidge has let it be known through his snokcsmcn that he intended to keep hands off Nothing has oc- cured since the beginning of tho strike to change his attitude. He insists the laws are inadequate to give him any sort Of legal control over the dcstinies of the coal in- dnstry, and in this respect he un- doubtcdIy is right. The fault lies with Congress, which failed to pass laws as suggested by tho report of the coal commission Of recent years, SO that when the present strike dawned there was nothing on tho statutes giving to the Prcsi- dent authority to take hand.
 Congress now is making a show of attempting to rcctify Its earlier delinquency. How 1t will proceed
 and how long it will take to get T law through Congress on the sub
 joct is a matter of opinion, with th'
 majority opinion 10 the effect tha
 it will not be done in a hurry.
 One of the reasons why in President has not been forced | rclinuuisN his earlier stand and a
 least insist that the industry set 1t

NEWS IN NEW YORK

The late editions of the New York evening newspapers last week. on the day of the Oklahoma | mine horror, offered mute evidence of their inability 10 perform the functions of ordinary newspapers. Only the New York Post carried the detailed Associated Press story of the disaster, the same story that appeared that afternoon in the New Britain Herald and other up to.date newspapers in the smaller cities. The New York Posts c,rcu- laton is comr mraratively small, the main reason being that it sells for a nickel, which means subway ride in New York, while tho other papers sell for less. The main body Of New Workers did not know of the Oklahoma disaster until the 1 NtNl 1loIVlnG.
 ! Of course, this is only one in- 1 stance; but something similar is
 happening every day. The New
 York afternoon papers of large cir culation are going to press so early
 in the day that about all they can
 carry in the way Of news is few
 bulletins, so that they fill them
 selves with pictures, comics, special
 features and compelling
 matter generally. The people read
 them while riding on the subways,
 and in this way they serve their
 chief purpose.
 Such complete news service in
 the afternoon as is given in the ; smaller cities is quite unknown: in deed, it is impossible, The Hcrait carries the complete day report O. } the Associated Press, in addition Q to the complete local news of th' 0 previous 24 hours. In New York | with the afternoon papers of larg = est circulation going 10 press at al v hours in the morning, and needing 8 until the early afternoon 10 prin s the papers, q complete days new f service Is unatt ainable except 10 { such a paper as the Post, which i t not faced with such difficulties an E Is on a par with afternoon paper l. in the smaller cities. New Tor
 journalism has let the news of tn W day be handled by the mornin 1T papers, something that afternoo ], papers in tho smaller cities hay ct quit doing decades ago.
