higher order Of music and musi-
clans as something completely be-
yond their comprehension. One
hears them say, "I can't under
stand" For that reason. they
foster distaste for the sym.
phonic and operate programs
that are daily finding more i'm
portant places on the air pro-
grams.
This should not be considered
lightly, nor as a plea for the
programs in question. Rather it
should be taken as a question,
why should the classicists con.
found the minds of people, who
are recognized as intelligent, ar.
tistic, cultured?" There isn't any
reason to believe the masses
could not understand, If they
would try.
AS was expressed by one cham
pion to the cause Of classical
programs, ''If Wagner or Rimsky-
Korsakow wrote Rhapsody in
Blue the people would have
thrown up their hands, but as it
was, a name like Gershwin gave
the public confidence in the com.
position and it met universal
popularity" The truth of the
matter is the fact that the
Rhapsody" is as complex in its
interpretation as many Of the
selections that grace a symphonic
program. The complications that
arise in the minds Of those who
fear they cannot comprehend,
is largely a matter Of imagina-
ton.
Just take it easy and don't
look for things that aren't in
the music. Let the message
come to you gradually and you
win find that your enjoyment
Of the classicists win soon equal
that Of the 'vooo-do-de-o doc
types Of music.

chant for weeds and grasses and q hor-
ror of grasshopperS when she was a
little girl playing alongside the North
Takoma siding left vivid impressions
on the mind of Miss Mary F. Lerch, so
strong in fact that she told Examiner
Kenneth Lyddane here yesterday, in the
hearing of the suit between the Balti-
more & Ohio Railroad and the town
of Takoma Park over the use OF the
siding, that she was quite sure the
tracks had never been used for the I'M
loading of freight from 1903 to 1911.
The railroad company has contended
that it has had the use of the strip for
many years for the unloading OF freight,
and a long line of witnesses have been
produced by the town in an effort to
show that in the early days Of the sid
ing freight was not delivered over the
park lands. So that Miss Lerch's i'm
pressions were regarded as rather i'm
portant, because they were offered to
show that the natural growth Of weeds
was so thick there during the period
for which she testified that trucks could
not have used the land to get to and
from the tracks.

Her home was near to the switch. In
one section of the park plot, she said
there was an abundance Of Queen
Anne's lace. Then there was q patch
of Spanish needles and coarSer grass;
two stunted pine trees. Right by the
switch there was a patch of goldenrod

TO the west was patch OF blackberrles
There was some sumac "and many
grasshoppers," she said. II remember
them because I hated grasshoppers
These were in the east end of the field
while further up was the land of gar
ter snakes" She said that the grass in
the plot now contested in the suit was
very tall, and she remembered that the
town authorities had the grass cut
between 1902 and 1910.
Rails Not So Shiny.
AS to the siding itself. she said that
the rails there were not so shiny as
those on the main line and seemed to
be much smaller. She remembered
