which she followed by the same

that gave the impression of Ma
poleon maneuvering troops-horse,

orchestral Interpretation of Tschai'

We cannot think of a greater con-
trast Of musical thought than was
contained in the four numbers
Leginska played personally or d.
rected the orchestra in playing.
And we cannot think of anyone
who would, or could, do each OF

pianist director woman, could and
did. Fraser Gange, the English bari

gram mate-was just that and then

The Sacred Heart Quartet which
performed for WRC at the start OF
its evening program, gave listeners
an idea that Washington has no
need to borrow mixed quarteting
from any other community-and
that the more of this kind of mu.

Knute Rockne himself could
never have designed a more per.
feet system of aerial attack and

radio brOadcasts developed last
night against the static team that

ing loud speaker goals. Clear

mind listeners that old static was

A poor little rich boy who said
his name was Socony and that he

Medal for Inventor

The John Fritz gold medal was con-
ferred on Elmer Sperry for the in
vention of an aerial torpedo designed
to hit targets at a distance of 100
miles. According to William Saun-
ders, chairman of the naval con-
sulting board of the United States,
who spoke at the presentation exer-
cises in New York, our government
was prevented from using the tor
pedo during the World war only by
the signing of the armistice. "This
perfectly fine experiment" declared
Saunders in his remarks, "was stopped
by the armistice. If that had not
come we would have had 10000 fly
ing guns which could have been sent
into enemy forces in no time."-Path-
finder Magazine.

Has Seen History Made

Mrs. Julia Anne Pridgen,' one hum
bred and three, the mother Of Con-
federate soldier and contemporary Of
every President of the United States
since Washington, lives in Fender
county, North Carolina, near the
scene of the Revolutionary battle OF
Moore's creek bridge, Mrs. Pridgen
was the mother of NJ. D. Pridgen, who
served with Lee. He was the eldest
of twelve children, six of whom are
living. The youngest is sixty. Her
soldier son and her husband have
been dead for several years. Her
memory, despite her advanced years,
is keen. She recalls the day when
the young men of the country marched
away to the Mexican war and when
the first buggy came into Fender
county.

TOO OLD-FASHIONED
TO BE RECOGNIZED

Michael Arlen, though claiming so
phistication to the nth degree, admit
ted that he was shocked with certain
strata Of American society. -
II was a guest at a Long Island
home" he remarked, land during tea,
was chatting with one of your sub
debs. I had heard that she had two
sisters and a brother and ventured to
inquire about them.
"'Oh, we never mention Them she
exclaimed. They are taboo in the
familyp
":Not dead? I exclaimed, thinking
that perchance had been misinformed
concerning them.
"'Oh, no. was the reply, but they
are all married and not one of them
has been in scandal or had a divorce
or anything but children. They're Just
plain bourgeoise.'

Great Parks Chapters
in History of World

It Is significant that more and more
emphasis is being laid upon the educa-
tional possibilities Of national parks,
nearly all Of which are in the Far
West. There are nearly 1000 museums
in this country, each one small and I'M
important as compared with parks
like Yellowstone, Glacier, Grand Can
yon and Yosemite.
The old idea was to break off
specimen Of rock or pick up a rare
fossil or saw off a tree chunk and
transfer them with great labor to a
building where few score persons
might see them. But millions now 60
into the national parks, which are far
greater museums.
Each one Is chapter in the history
of the world. There are lessons in
erosion, sedimentation and other proc
esses by which the world was made.
Behind the depth, height, weight,
mass and superficial beauty is the
handiwork of the Creator, presented
in such a way that all may compre-

may be under the religious influence,
as well as benefit physically and ex-

OF course there are those who hav-
ing eyes never see. All over the world
there are travellers who, no matter how
many countries they visit, never leave
home. Tourists rush through or by
and behold nothing. A young couple
in a fancy roadster, from an eastern
state, tore at high rate of speed past
the marvellous Painted desert Of north
ern Arizona at a point where the main
road goes close to the strange paint
pot.
cannot imagine even the most hard
ened old-timer passing the place with
out giving it at least glance. A few
hours later the same couple were play
ing golf west of Winslow.
