M u S C.

Dusolina Giannini, possessed OF a
beautiful soprano voice and true
art in song, gave an interesting pro-
gram last night at the Memorial
Continental Hall before an apprecia-
tive audience, which gave her pro-
longed applause.
The high spot in her program was
the moving "Vissi d'Arte," from La
Tosca. All the brilIiance Of her pow
er.ful voice, all the depth of feeling,
all of her appreciation of music
poured forth in this aria. 1t was evil
dent that she would make a marvellous
Tosca, both in voice and interpreta-
ton.
The Tosca aria was the final num-
Der of a group in Italian, which in
cluded Respighi's "Stornellatrice."
draamtic song; the gentle Caro-, Caro-,
ell milo Bambin" of Guarnierte, which
she sang with exquisite tenderness,
and "Stornellata Marinara" of Cimara.
This Italian group was the best of her
program and in response to prolonged
applause she sang charmingly the old
air phyllis Has Such Charming
Graces."
The English group, which was the
third on the program, was changed
from the program listing and song,
"My Mother" which was sung feel
ingly, opened the group In place OF
Life" of Pearl Curran. other songs
included when Love YOU" written
by Nine. Giannini's brother; Moe
turne" of Frank La Forge. beautiful
quiet song, and La FORCES Hills" a
song of little appeal.
The opening group was German and
made up entirely Of works of Brahms.
They forecast the disappointing fea-
ture of the program, q tendency of
Nine. Giannini to have a little diff
Guilty with her pitch on the final notes,
which were sung pianissimo. This
was not so evident in her Italian songs,
however, and may have been due to
cold which kept her from being at
her best.
Nine. Giannini caught the spirit of
the songs, "Heimkehr," "Immerleiser
wird mein Schlummer," ''Vorschnel-
ler," in which she gave the first indi.
cation of the brilliance and power OF
her fun voice, and "Von Ewtger
Liebe."
The final group was composed of
four Italian folk songs arranged by
her brother, "Canta per Me" Luise,
"Serenatella'' and 'Tarantella Lu.
ciana," which she sang with fine APP
probation of their tradition.
Miss Molly Bernstein, who played
Nine. Giannini's accomplishments,
was exceptionally capable. Fl. P. b.

VOTE ON McNARY-HAUGEN BILL
PRACTICALLY ASSURED IN HOUSE

and failed of vote In the Senate
because of lack of time. then the
demand for a special session to take
it up again might be more pro-
nounced. Today the situation with
regard to the annual appropriation
bills is better than it has been for
years. The House has only the Dis
trict appropriation bill. the legisla
tive bill, the State, Justice, Commerce
ficiency bill. 1t is expected these
will be disposed of quickly. The
Senate is not far behind the House
in consideration of the supply bills.
Senator McNary. chairman of the
committee on agriculture. issued
statement with regard to the farm
relief bill reported by his committee
yesterday. He said, in part:
1.-THE committee bill provides a way
for producers of the basic agricul-
tural crops to adjust supply to de-
mand in their most profitable mar
kets and to their best advantage.
This bill is addressed to the same
problem and is based on the same
principles as the committee bill re-
ported in the last session, although
many changes have been made to
improve and strengthen it.
Cotton, wheat, corn, swine and
rice are the basic commodities specifi.
cally treated under the surplus con-
troll features of the bill, although
there are loan provisions aimed to as
sist producers of other farm commodi-
ties in organizing for orderly mar
keting.
1.-The administrative body is a farm
board directed to promote stability
and effective protection for agricul-
ture.
This measure has been overwhelm-
ingly Endorsed by the farm and CO.
operative organizations all over the
country. 1t contains no subsidy, no
price.fixing, and no Government buy
ing or selling. It's fundamental prin-
ciple is the collection of the cost Of
stabiliZing each commodity from the
commodity itself through the equaliza-
ton fee.
THE equalization fee is simply the
contribution each unit Cbushel, bale or
the commodity. This fund for wheat,
for example, makes it possible for an
agency set up and controlled by wheat
growers, In cooperation with the
board, to say how much of the sur
plus of wheat shall be removed from
the domestic market at any time.
Within limits dictated by business
sense, 1t enables wheat farmers to ad-
just the supply OF wheat to the needs
of the domestic market at an Ameri-
can price. 1t would mean the same
with rice.
American cotton exports are near
ly two-thirds of the worlds interna-
tional trade in cotton. Such a fund
for cotton would make 1t possible for
cotton growers to feed cotton into the
markets of the world as fast as the
world wanted it at q reasonable
price,"

UNITED TO FORM
GREAT MEDICAL CENTER HERE

will have constantly increasing facili-
ties for clinical work. The hospitals
on their part will have the advantage
of the various laboratories in the
Medical School. The people of Wash
ington will have the advantage that
comes from larger hospital units and
the association of a teaching institu-
ton with hospital And it is felt
that this utilization will give Washing
ton added prestige along medical
lines
The heads of the three institutions
already affiliated held several final
meetings during the last week. 1t was
not thought the papers could be
signed before early next week. a
meeting was held on Friday. however.
at which it was agreed that all OBJ
stacles to the amalgamation of in
terests had been eliminated and that
the deed could be completed before
the week closed
"Those who are parties to the
agreement" DIR. Lewis added wish
to emphasize the fact that there will
be no change in the activity of any
of the institutions until such times as
the actual changes in buildings are
brought about. The support given to
the various institutions will be con-
tinued with the added incentive that
will now be contributing to an impor-
tant project along the most efficient
and modern lines"
