dominant feature OF the entire event
was the fact that this program was
admirably selected for variety In color
and mood and suffered no monotuny
because all works were by composers Of
one nationality. Rather, 1t showed the
marked versatility and original charm
OF each composer represented. Mr..
Marville should be congratulated
The choir. consisting of about 50
voices. showed clear and exact intona-
tion especially noticeable in the cap
pella selections, fine organization OF the
different voice parts, the soprano and
bass sections being the strongest and
best blended, with the sopranos at their
best in the high sustained passages OF
two of the choral numbers. The
enunciation was good and some nice
effects in dimmuendo and crescendo
work were achieved. This is II COM
paratively new choir and it gives much
promise.
one of the most unusual choral Sc
lcctionS given was Joshua" written by
MouSsoreSky, father of Russian music y
1t was the only number in which the
choir was accompanied by the organ.
OF the a capella selections, the out
standing seemed to be Tschaikowsky's
90 Praise the Name of the Lord
Lord. Hear Our Prayer" by Silber2 as
adapted and arranged by Lewis At
water. Washington organist, with at
tractive handling of the themes by all
four voices. and 1schaikowsky "Cheru-
bin Song" always a favorite, The
other selections. however, were well
chosen and admirably performed.
Assisting with solo selections were
Ethel Stickles. soprano, who showed
good legato style and diction in songs
by Mednikofr and Rachmaninoff; Mabel
Flehr. contralto. who sang the TSchal-
kowSky air from Jeanne dare, "Adieu
Forets." in clear-Cut English; Edith B.
Athey. organist of the church, who
played lengthy fantasia from Rim
-Korsakoff's symphonic suite. "Sche-
herazade." and Mr. Marville,. who sang
the reeitative and ejr, From My Souls
Depths" from Ruoinsteins Paradise
Lost. 1t was a well arranged and
well performed program.

is to be developed "in accordance with
its true destiny" w. l. Swanton of the

told members Of the Central Citizens
Association at their meeting In the
North Capitol Savings Bank Building
last night.
Presenting figures comparing the an
nual expenditures of the District of
Columbia and the average of six cities
nearest in population. compiled from
census data for 1926, Swanton declared
that the people of the District should
pay no greater tax than that paid by
those of other cities comparable in
wealth and population and the balance
should be made up by the Federal Gov

A proposed 500, 900, 900 construction
program was also outlined by the
speaker The plan provides for a public

MONACO RISES
IN WRATH AT
PERIL OF WORK
Citizens Supported by
Casino Gamblers Aroused
Over Thought of Taxes.
BY RALPH HEINZEN
limited Press Staff COrresnondent


PARIS, Dec. 19-The narrowing
possibility that the good people Of
Monaco might have to work and
even pay taxes has brought on a
crisis in the little principally on
the Mediterranean.
Crises are as rare in Monaco,
where the worlds pleasure seekers
come to drop their gold into the
Monte Carlo casino The rakeoff
from the casino constitutes the bud
get and every one is happy.
That is, happy until recently,
when grumbling began to be heard.
The people complained that not
enough money was spent for the
public good.
The casino authorities, they said,
actually were running the country
in the absence of Prince Louis, the
ruler, and not running it right. They
demanded that Prince Louis do
something about it.
Tries to Soothe People
Prince = Louis is at Chateau
Marchais, in northern France,
where he spends much Of his time.
His angered subjects made pointed
remarks about "a man without a
country"
Prince Louis attempted to soothe
the populace by messages OF en-
couragement, but they continued to
object. The national council, nom
inal governing body of the princi-
pality under authority of the prince,
resigned.
Then Prince Louis made telling
thrust. He warned the people that
all this dissension would do no good
towards attracting visitors and dol
lars to the casino this winter.
The proclamation failed Of the
desired effect and today Prince
Pierre de Polignac, son-in-law and
heir of Prince Louis, was in Monaco
trying to smooth things out.
His efforts were clouded by
suggestion of some of the inhab-
itants that he was attempting
coup in favor of himself.
Prince Pierre summoned the
members of the communal council.
representing the towns of the prin-
cipality, and told them they were
the only representatives of the
people since the resignation OF the
national council. Pierre told the
delegates that Prince Louis would
approve any solution recommended
by the communal council witt.
Pierre's assent.
Pierre conferred with other lead
ing Monacans, explaining that ne
came to hear their complaints and
report to their sovereign.
Keep All They Get
Monaco is the smallest independ-
ent state of Europe. It's area is
about eight square miles and It's
population about $4,000. 1t is on
the southern coast of France, sur
rounded on all sides except the sea
by French territory.
The casino authorities have the
gambling concession until 1947. The
present annual grant to the state
for the concession is 10000 pounds
(about $450,000) which will be in
creased to 100000 pounds annually
in 1887.
The people of Monaco are not
permitted access to the gaming
tables, so they keep all they get
They pay no taxes and receive high
rentals for the land. Visitors spend
much money in addition to their
gambling expenditures.

Frank Baker, 625 Keasley St., South

"Since over a year ago, have had
a bad case of stomach trouble that
just wore me out. had sick spells
that left me weak, dizzy and nerv-
Gus. My appetite was very poor,
and after meals the food would not
digest, but felt like rock in the pit
of my stomach. I had burning
pains in my stomach. I could not
sleep at night even though I was
all tired out. In the morning got
up feeling weaker and worse than
when I went to bed. lost weight
and had no pep at all. The first
and only relief came when started
taking Viuna. Almost at once be-
gan to get we'll. I took it regularly
and soon felt like a different man.
The bilious attacks and burning
pains stopped, my appetite came
back, and my digestion improved
wonderfully. can eat heartily
again with no gas, and no rock-like
sensation in my stomach. My nerves
are steady, I sleep splendidly every
night. and feel full of pep when I
get up. Life sure looks different for
me since I got back to health, and
I'm mighty thankful to Viuna."
Viuna acts promptly on sluggish
bowels, lazy liver and weak kidneys. II

Gliders to Be Made
In Detroit District

Detroit, Nov. Is. R-One of the
few plants outside of Germany de-
voted exclusively to the construction
of engineless air planes, or "gliders.' y
is to be erected in the Detroit dis
trict. Announcement is made that
elders, Inc, recently organized In
Detroit, will erect a factory near
Rochester about Is miles north OF
Detroit.
W. J. Scripps Of Detroit is presi-
dent of the company. while the di-
rectorate includes some of the best
known aviators, such as Alfred V.
Verville. Edward V. Rickenbacker
and Edward Stinson.
Pilot-training and sport are the
purposes of the gliders. The new
company plans construction of three
types-primary trainers. secondary
trainers and soaring gliders of the
Darmstadt type, which recently es-
tablished a world record Of more
than II hours flight in Germany.
Several glider clubs are being
formed here with the object Of OBJ
tanning fundamental knowledge Of
aerodynamics.
