Music has been the hobby of Sonora
Ferrara since she was a child. The

studied at the New England Conserv-
atory OF Music and later under teachers
in New York and Europe.
Seated In the lovely French salon of
the Cuban embassy, close to the grand
piano upon which she often plays ac-
compartments to songs. which con-
tribute so greatly to delightful musical
evenings with her friends, Sonora Fer
rara told the story of the development
of the musical movement" in her own
country.
Several years ago." she said, "a small
group OF women, either musicians or
lovers of music, met one afternoon in
Havana. Their purpose was to discuss
the formation Of society to devote It's
time and resources to promoting inter-
est In music and musicians, sponsoring
concerts, operas and other musical pro-
grams and obtaining, whenever possible,
the greatest artists from other countries
to lend their talents to programs ar
ranged by the society
The result of this meeting was the
Arte Musical. Officers were elected and
it was agreed that each member should
pay nominal fee. From the funds
thus acquired, augmented by returns
from amateur performances given under
the auspices of the society members.
there soon was a comfortable sum rest
ing in the society treasury. BY means
OF these accumulated fees It was possible
to engage the talents of many distin-
guished artists from Europe, South
America and the United States.
1T was through the invitation of the

tinued, that Havana first saw and
heard the Violtnist Heffitz. I had heard
him play in New York, and wrote to

make every effort to obtain a recital
from him for the musicaIes of the So

BINGHAM PROTESTS
HEFL|N'S ATTACK.
Argues Against Use of Sen.
ate Forum for Stirring Up,
Religious Hatred.
ny the Associated Press.

ny the Associated Press.
Protest against using the Senate
fourm for stirring up religious hatred
was voiced in the Senate yesterday by
Senator Bingham, Republican,, of Con-
necticut, after Senator Hefli3. Demo
crat of Alabama had completed an.
other attack against the Influence OF
the Roman Catholic Church"
Hefiin immediately challenged Bing-
ham to debate in the Washington Audi
forum next month the "propriety OF
calling of attention here to the dan
gers which threaten religious freedom"
This was ignored by Bingham, but he
heatedly denied Helms accusation that
some one had inspired him to reply to
the Alabaman.
Bingham Attacks Speeches.
The exchange occurred with only a
few Senators on the floor. Bingham
apologized to Senator Hefiin fey stating
that his speeches we're intended to stir
up religious bigotry." Hefiin had shout
ed. THAT is untrue" Binghan( said
81 shouldn't have said intended I
should have said do"
use of the word intended i was
wrong" said Bingham, land apollo ize.
I should have said these speeche.t do
stir up religious hatred. They leao! to
as q Mason I wish to protest agai pSt
the use of this forum for the stirring
up of religious hatred in this country
I wish the record to show that the
great majority of Senators are not In
sympathy with these speeches just beN-
cause they are ignored"
Taking the floor again after a speech
of more than an hour, Heflin declared
there "are some mighty weakened
80 re Hor VAd p
kneed MaSonS." But when he referred
again to the influence of the Catholic
Church in the Senate, Bingham de-
clared that he had been influenced by
no one and Heflin said he accepted his
statement.
Hefiin opened his speech with the
reading of letters he said he had re-
ceived lauding him for his effort to
prevent the flying of the church pen
nant above the American flag on Navy
vessels during church services. The
Senate two weeks ago voted down a
proposal by Heflin to prohibit this.
The vote was SO to 10.
Catholic Penpushers" Denounced.
At that time Hefiin contended that
the church pennant was actually the
Roman cross"
The ALBANIAN declared that eff Her
bert Hoover meets this Catholic issue
ne will be reelected in 1882" How
ever, he said, "if he dallies or plays
with 1t, the issue in 1892 will be Cath
Ole or non-Catholic control of this
Government"
Assailing what he described as the
Catholic "penpushers" in the press gal
lery, Helm said they had denounced
him for his attempt to prevent the fly
ing of the church pennant above the
AaYannnAa6
lini for his agreement with the Vati-
can and asserted that religious free
dom lies dead in Italy at the feet of
Mussolini.''

CAMPUS COMMENT
BY KNUTE ROCKNE

AS regards the business man,
there is no finer game for health
and fun than golf. But most of our
college men going in for the green
pasture ball shooting game is a
sign of the physical decadence OF
our young men.
We don't play football as hard as
we did thirty years ago. The college
man doesn't play baseball as hard
as he did fifteen years ago. The
bodily contact has been almost en-
tirely eliminated from basketball
and with the introduction of the
delayed offense, the game is not
nearly as strenuous as it once was.
It may be that five or ten years
from now VIC will have no strenuous
sports such as football and basket
ball and the most popular college
game will be golf. BY that time
the youth Of our colleges will be a
very docile lot and entirely devoid
of the sterling personalities tingling
with initiative, energy and rev
ideas, which has to a large extent
characterized university life in
America in past years. This is what
some folks want. If the present
tendencies continue they will get
their wish.

Six clubs which had remained
idle for the first two days OF the
season owing to cold weather and
rain finally got into action Thurs
dav. and the carnage was terrible.
The lowIy Phillies drove out three

almost equally lowly Robins made
three homers, and lost to the Boston
Braves.

Babe Ruth and Lou Gehrig, the

hitting for the circuit. The Babes
clout was particularly spectacular,
coming as it did on his first time
at bat. It was a long, lifting shot
into the far left field bleachers, a
spot somewhat unusual Tor Ruthian

Lefty ODoul, who was traded by
ahe Giants to the PhillieS, drove out
two home runs against his former
teammates, while Charley Grimm Of
the Cubs slammed his way into the
home run club with his second cir
cult clout of the year. Earl Averll'
sensational Cleveland rookie, is the
third major Lacquer of the season
10 hit two homers, with the league
pennant races barely under way.
They Hit That Ball!
The Chicago Cubs have lost no
time in bearing out their preseason
reputation for terrific smuggling. They
have made thirty eight hits in the
three games they have played, in
GLIDING seven two-baggers and flYe
home runs.
That is hitting in any mans
league. and indicates that Joe Nc
