QUARTET MADE

N. Y. String Group to
Perform Here On
Feb. %

The New York String Quartet,
which will appear here February %
at the Junior college auditorium, is
one Of the few organizations in this
country which devote their time
solely to the study Of chamber mu-
sic.
The members-Ottokar Cadek and
Jaroslav ~Siskovsky, v%iolins. Ludvik
Schwab, viola. and Bedrich Vaska,
cello-Rave no other occupation and
therefore are able 20 give all their
attention 10 the very trying and
laborous art Of quartet playing.
1t has been said of individual ar
lists that they are born and not
made. In a quartet the artists in
dividually may be born. but az an
ensemble the making of a quartet
means toll without end.
Every year the New York string
quartet meets during the months Of
August and September at n beauti-
full estate in Vermont on Lake
~Champlain. TO prepare the programs
for the following season. Summer
svorts are not neglected. but the
mornings are vigorously set aside
and devoted 70 unrelenting practice.
The results have justified this Sc

State Hesitates
Although the boy was indicted on
Jan. ?, he has no. yet been arraign-
ed in court, and residents of Man
chester and Nashua have been won

1t was learned through reliable
sources that the state does not de-

have been current that an agree
ment had been reached whereby the
boy would plead to a lesser offense
and will be sen to the industrial
school until he reaches 81.
Young Rokas first attracted state
wide attention when the Nashua au-
thorities announced that the young

BEAUMONT, Tex, Feb. 2.-tPJ-
A self-styled psychology burglar
who obtained jewels valued at $500
from a Beaumont home by posing
as a telephone repairman, had his
business down to such a fine bust
ness science that he had women clas-
sified into five groups.
The man giving the name Of Cecil
4. Irons, who VAS captured in st.
Joseph, Mo-, and all the iewelry re-
covered has asked that he be given a
ten year sentence in Missouri so
that all other cases against him will
be outlawed, and has declared his
intention of becoming a criminolo-
gist to run other crooks to earth at
the end OF his prison term. He is
under indictment here Police say
he operated also in New Orleans and
Springfield, Mo.
Here's the way he says he classi-
flies women:

her jewelry on the top Of the dresser
in a tray dusty with face powder
and thick with rouge.

neat, who puts her jewelry away in

3-The woman who has quite a
few diamonds and employs servants,
who puts her jewels in a dresser

MACDONALD'S TRIP
MAY REDUCE TAXES
Premier viii Be Thinking in
Terms of Billions on
Visit.
By the Associated Press.


. L0ND0N'-When James Ramsay
Britain and first lord Of the treas
ury, leaves London for his heart
to-heart" conference with President
Hoover he will be thinking In terms
OF billtons-the billions In armament
costs now heaped upon the tired backs
Of taxpayers.
Much smaller sums we're sufficient to
wrinkle his brow when, as lad Of 10,
ne came to London practically penni-
less. He began the carving out of his
extraordinary career by addressing en-
velopes for a bicycle touring club.
Sixty cents was all he had when he
arrived, this son Of Scottish peasants,
with O hankering for more education
than poor boys Of that day were sup
posed to have. And although he had
hoped for something better when he
came, $2.40 q week was what he got for
the envelope Job. But it was only tenn
porary work. with gaps Of unemploy-
ment between.
Finally young Macdonald found what
looked ike permanent work as invoice
clerk In a warehouse. The job paid
him about $3.75 o week, every week
and he felt 50 prosperous that soon he
was paying tuition fees at the City of
London College and Highbury Insti-
tute, and even sending home some
money to his mother
Given an opportunity to do some
chemical laboratory work, he threw
himself into 1t with such unrelenting
application "a degree in science was
his ambition them that his health
broke down. Thus his first 10 years
In London turned out to be years II
poverty and obscurity.
Meanwhile, however, he had become
interested In socialism, and when o Lib
eral politician offered him the post of
private secretary he found himself In
position to achieve both q living and
political education. He would have
preferred to have worked his way
through o university; later, however,
he looked upon the learning he had
obtained through toll as more valuable
than anything the university could have
given him.
No doubt the President Of the United
States and the Prime Minister Of Eng
land will have many an anecdote Of
those early struggling days to exchange.
For Herbert Hoover got what Ramsay
MacDonald'S breakdown prevented
chance to work his way through uni
versity.
To many who feel keenly wars double
cost 1t will seem q happy turn Of fate
that these two men-both unequivocally
poor In their youth-should now strive
to pare down the costliest Of all bur-
dens on civilization. Their "heart-to-
heart talk" may make Mars pauper.
