LEGION REMODELS
COLUMBIA HALL
By E. w. MCGOWAN.

The remodeling of Columbia Hall,
recently leased by Roosevelt Post No.
80, is rapidly nearing completion.
This beautiful building will house the
Community Center" as well as all
Legion activities.
We are sure that the numerous
ways in which the Community Center
will make itself indispensable to the
public-with the same spirit of
gratitude" will the intelligent public
receive it.
Dedicatory plans are well under
way, announcement of which will be
made in the near future. In strict
adherence to its basic principles, the
above project is just another of the
many ways that the Legion proves
to the public that "In peace, as in
war-we serve"

the National Association of Negro
Musicians, at Pilgrim Baptist church
on Thursday evening, under the aus
pices of st. Philips Episcopal church.
The program consisted of Cha
come in d minor by Bach Busoni;
Scherzo in E major, Nocturne in F
sharp major and Pelonaise in A flat
major by Chopin; Sonata in B minor
by List and the Overture Of "Tann-
hauser" by Wagner-Liszt.
Mr.. Diton showed himself a must
clan of fine discrimination and in
telligent conception of his works.
The variety in the selection of his
numbers made possible the presenta-
ton of many moods, with beautiful
tone effects and brilliant technical
displays.
By request Mr.. Diton gave a very
lucid performance of the Toccata in
F major by Charles Widor, on the
organ. He also sang three numbers
with artistic feeling, his resonant and
musical baritone voice being well
suited to the Evening Star" from
"Tannhauser" by Wagner-Liszt The
artist was eminently successful in
his rendition of the Negro spirituals,
"Stand Still, Jordan" by Burleigh,
and Swing Low, Sweet Chariot"
harmonized by himself.
A few very appropriate remarks of
historical value added to the interest
of the program and the Overture
from "Tannhauser" made fitting
climax to an evening which was much
enjoyed by large audience.
Miss Dorcas Jones, contralto, sang
two numbers, with rich, deep voice,
absolute sincerity and clear enuncia-
ton. She was warmly applauded and
accompanied in a sympathetic style
by Miss Catherine Williams.

CARL DIToN's RECITAL
FURNISHES MUSICAL TREAT
Versatile Artist Delivers Delightful
Program Which Pleases Large
and Appreeiative Audience.
Local Talent Assists.

Carl Diton, president of the Ma
tional Association of Negro Musi-
clans, who was presented in piano
recital at Pilgrim Baptist church
Thursday night under the auspices of
st. Philips Episcopal church, delight
ed the audience, which comfortably
filled the main auditorium. He fully
sustained his reputation as the most
versatile musician of the race. Not
only did he show himself master of
the piano, but also of the pipe organ
and is the possessor of rich, res
onant, well-trained, baritone voice.
Mr.. Diton prefaced each number
with brief explanatory remarks which
were instructive and helpful in the
better understanding and apprecia-
ton by the audience of the great
masterpieces rendered. Mr.. Diton
has most pleasing personality and
radiating friendliness which brings
him at once en- rapport with his aud
fence. He completely won and held
his audience from his opening num-
Der, Chaconne in d Minor by Bach
Buzoni, and held it throughout until
it closed with brilliant rendition of
the difficult overture in "Tanhauser"
by Wagner-Lizst.
Responding to a request Mr.. Diton
sang with wonderful expression and
sympathetic Interpretation Evening
Star" from "Tanhauser" by Wagner;
the Negro spirituals, "Stand Still,
Jordan" by Burleigh, and "Swing
Low, Sweet Chariot" his own COM
position. He gave an organ number
by Charles Widor.
Miss Dorcas Jones, of whom our
race in Omaha can be justly proud,
sang in good voice and with fine in
depreciation, "Until" by Sanderson,
and "Vale" by Russell. Miss Cath
crime Williams was pleasing as her
accompanist.
The hope was expressed by those
who heard Mr. Diton that upon his re-
turn from Europe he will give an
other recital in Omaha.
Mr.. August M. Borglum, the able
and well-known musical critic of the
World-Herald publishes his opinion

United Press Financial Editor
NEW YORK, Oct. 26.-Conflicting
news brought irregularity into the
stock market in early dealings to-
day, changes, however, were only
moderate and losses held within a
small range while a few issues made
fair gains. Trading was on a
smaller scale.
General Motors responded to its
earnings statement showing profits
for the first nine months higher
than any previous full calendar
year in the company's history,
United States Steel sold off slightly
as did General Electric, while Du
Pont, Radio and Western Union
continued to gain.
The increase of $1O79OO0OO in
brokerage loans announced after
the close yesterday, bringing the
figure to a new record at $4,772.-
$4,000, unsettled the market to
some extent, since a much smaller
increase had been expected.
The General Motors report show
ing earnings of $13.42 for the first
nine months as against $12.99 for
the entire record year of 1927,
served to Offset this in part. Sew
eral other favorable reports were
included in the days news, notably
Dupont, Westinghouse Electric,
Studebaker and Pennsylvania Rail
road. all of which showed sub
stantial gains over 1927.
Items in the weekly federal re-
serve statement were little changed.
RediScounts decreased 500, 900, 900,
but this was offset by an increase
of S22,1O0,OOO in bills bought in the
open market.
Reserves increased $8,900,0 900,
bringing the ratio of reserves to de-
posts to 60 per cent for the system
against 67.3 per cent in the previous
week. The New York ratio in
creased to TIA per cent from. 66.5
per cent.
Investment buying continued in
Western Union which scared to a
new high at 1862, up Al. New
highs also were made by Kennecott,
up rs at 1885, Pure Oil up 4, at
2815, and Shell Union Oil, up Y at
81.
Oils generally were in fair de-
mand with Marland bid UP on it's
favorable earnings report. Sinclair
held steady. Rails were irregular
with Union Pacific and Missouri
Ka0SaS-TpYaS in demand ond
Central and d & Fl selling lower.

clined.

Oct. 90
(By Thomson & McKinnon)

NEW YORK, Oct. ga wonder
full statement of earnings by Gen
eral Motors. That's what you call
real prosperity. incidentally that's
why the stock sells at present price.
If one knew what next year will
show this problem would be easier.
Don't forget the word discount-the
most important word in Wall
Streets Lexicon. Brokers loans -
that also was a wonderful state
n1ent. What comment may one
make on this subject that would not
be classed as trite? Every one
knows its importance, but every one
has been trained to ignore it. This
is as good a morning as any to
bring it to your attention more
forcibly. We say don't ignore it too
long. A day will come and it may
be close at hand when there will be
some reckoning of the old fash
Toned, not the new era, sort. If it
wasn't for the oil group which con-
tinueS, as the best part of the mar
ket, the list would have looked like
one of the real bear sort. Don't
overlook single opportunity to
take down some profits.

WHEAT SHOWS
FIRMER Tone;
CORN IN LEAD
Stubborn Resistance Keeps
Futures Market From
Going Lower.

BIZ United Press
CHICAGO, Oct. Wheat
showed a firm tone in quiet mar
ket on the Board of Trade today.
Moderate purchases strengthened
corn, oats were little changed.
At the opening wheat was 1Bc to
&c higher, corn was up &c to &c,
and oats were unchanged to 1sc off.
Provisions were steady.
Conservative traders see little OPP
portunity on either side of the
wheat market at present. The stub
born resistance shown to bearish
influence has made many believe
that tn first favorable news will
bring a sharp upturn. Filth most of
the American and Canadian crops
still unsold, sudden increase in eX-
port business might start bullish
demonstration.
Corn appears to be taking the
lead in speculative trading. Increas-
ing arrivals OF new corn have sent
many traders to the selling side,
while good export inquiry has slim
ulated buying. Industries are buy
ing large, quantities of the cash
grain.
Nothing new has appeared in the
oats market. Trade consists mostly
Of changing from one delivery to an
other.
