In the third group, Russian folk

Tartars from a collection of Rimsky-
Korsakoff. which rather dominated the
group, although a rare old Volga song,

Moussorgsky, was beautiful number.
The last group, works by non-Russian
composers, gave variety and balance to
the discriminating program. Kuecken

songs. "A Pilgrims Song" with BARI

artistry that brings a thrill in the ex-
qulsiteness of its beauty. The sere-

THE KEDROFF QUARTET.

The Community Institute opened the
seasons series of lectures and musical
events last night at Central High School
with an unusually happy choice for this
occasion, the second appearance in
Washington, publicly, of the Kedrotf
Quartet. This group of four Russian
singers has been singing together for
so long a time and with such excel
lently applied cooperation, technically
and artistically, that they invariably in
vite comparison to a fine string quartet,
than which there is no higher stand
ard for musical beauty.
The members of the Kedroff Quar-
tet are: I. K. Denissoff, first tenor,
formerly of the Imperial Opera Of Pc
trograd: T. F. Kasakoff, second tenor,
also formerly of the Petrograd Opera;
N. N. Kedroff. baritone and organizer
of this group and arranger of many
of its selections. formerly professor IN
the Imperial Conservatory of Petrograd,
and C. N. Kedroff, basso, formerly pro-
fessor in the School of Musical Tech
nique, Petrograd.
The quartet sang four groups of songs
and responded graciously to insistent
calls for encores. In the first group
were two songs by Techerepnin, de-
lightfully comic number by Borodine
and beautiful arrangement of the IA

Rimsky- Korsakoff's opera, "Sadko." 1t

The second group was composed en-

songs from a cycle for children and a
"Bacchanalian Song" with words by
Pushkin. OF these. the Cradle Song

in the accuracy and unobtrusiveness of
the delicate accompaniment. A Strauss
waltz (not the Blue Danube'D was an
effective finale. Among the encores the
outstanding popular numbers were

ond tenor had some difficult work in
sustaining a nasal bell tone for many
measures. and 1.-The Volga Boatmen's
Song" M c. NJ Kedroff, with the
deep, deep baSso for which the Rus
sian BASES are famous, was many times
in evidence as the completing balance
in tonal quality and color.
The Kedroff Quartet is truly unique.

Reed Hospital and at $50 pm. will
participate in a special commemora-
ton service for the late Gar and his
family at Epiphany Church, when the
quartet will sing some of the famous

WOMAN'S TRUE WORTH IS NOT FOUND IN ART

VIENNA, Aug. 28.-A competition among German anG Austrian DOT traitists revealed that modern ar tists have great difficulty in catch- ing on canvass the something that constitutes the same type of mod ern woman. Of many hundrers of portraits submitted only two were judged to have achieved that aim. The successful painters were Prof. Willi Jaeckel of Berlin and Prof. Sergius Pauser of Vienna.
 The international jury which made the awards declared that the outcome was the fault of woman and not of art. In former eras a true type of womanhood has been readily recorded by the brush, but the modern woman command; an art of transforming her real self into something which merely stands for the type of the day Thus she makes a first rate photographic subject but defeats attempts by DOT traitists to depict her soul
 Prof Pauser. recognizes two groups of female types. One, he explains, is like an exquisite flower which diffuses no perfume.
 "The other" he rhapsodizes, casts a spell over us and intoXi- cates like the images of a dream. They are visions we can never for get.

FORMER JUNEAU VISITOR RUNNING
 FOR HIGH OFFICE.

Frederic R. Coudert, Jr, of the famous New York lawyer of the and grandson of the even more famous lawyer of the same name nephew of Gov and Mrs Riggs, has accepted the fusion nomination for District Attorney of New York County He takes his place on the fusion ticket as an anti-T -Tammany Democrat. The day after he unqualified endorsement of two eminent Democratic authorities
 One of MT. Coudert's endorsers was his Tammany opponent Supreme Court Justice Thomas C. T. Grain who declared that MT. Coudert is not too young to be District Attorney. His record has been a splendid one" Mir Coudert is 3l and Justice Grain his endorser, who is running against him, is 69.
 The other endorser of Mir Coudert was the Democratic New York World, which said:
 In nominating Frederic R. Coudert, Jr
 for District Attorney, the Republicans have
 made excellent selection and in our opin-
 ion at this time Mir Coudert is clearly to
 be preferred Justice Grain the Demo-
 cratic nominee.
 Even if the personal qualifications of the
 two candidates equal, the argument in
 favor of supporting MT. Coudert would still
 be decisive There is every indication that Mayor Walker will easily be reelected. And that being the case, it is highly desirable that in the crucial post of District Attorney there should be who is not beholden to the same political influences which round the Mayor. It is very healthy thing for the city to have Mayor and District Attorney who belong to different parties. With a competent, vigorous and courag- eous District Attorney such MT. Coudert shows every promise of becoming the city

would have one to turn to as a check

 political life and will support him.
 Frederic R. Coudert Jr, visited Juneau with his father and was a guest at the Governors House when his uncle Governor of Alaska. He made many friends here at that time when he was still a college student His friends will be glad to know that he has made good and that his merit is being recognized by high authority.

CAPITAL APPRECIATES LOCAL
 SUPPORT.

The enthusiasm with which capital has greeted the public spirit shown by Port Angeles, washing ton because that town voted 28l9 to Il In 1aVor ol a bond iss11e to bring water into the place in order to secure the location there of 500-ton pulp mill and a 100000 foot sawmil is a lesson to other towns that desire to progress and prosper Among the things taught by the congratulations that poured into Port Angeles is that capital appreciates local friendship as one of the finest possible assets There is nothing that will do more to secure capital for town than assurance that it will receive the utmost co-operation from the local residents. The following editorial from the Pacific Pulp and Paper Industry magazine, commenting on the attitude of Alexander Poison, the largest lumber man of the Grays Harbor country, toward Port Angeles tells edifying story, one from wmch other towns along the coast might profit:
 Alex Poison, leading Grays Harbor lum- herman and a militant figure in the in- dustry is financially interested ln the new pulp mill and sawmill venture of the Olym- pic Forest Products Co, at Port Angeles.
 Following the successful water bond el- ection at Port Angeles he expressed his contradictions to that city upon it's civic cooperation and enterprise in welcoming new industry. He expressed a touch of bitterness towards Grays Harbor as con- munity and said that that community had lost this self-same industry through its fail to cooperate.
 
 ing this new industry Mir Poison said. New industries need consideration in matters of taxation and should be helped along Vacant sites pay no taxes. The attitude of Grays Harbor on the question of taxation and in other ways has served to drive this desirable industry out of the community.
 "Grays Harbor will not feel the loss so heavily today as in the future. On account of the policies inaugurated by Federal and State bodies in charge of forests, insisting more and upon complete utilization, the industries which set their houses in order best to meet those policies stand the best chance to get these public bodies of timber when they become available"
 MT. Poison indicated that failure of civic spirit in Grays Harbor caused him to throw his support to Port Angeles.
 This is a lesson to Juneau at a time when sh is seeking and expecting the development of pulp and paper industry and other industries here Let us support in every way possible the peopl who are coming here with millions of dollars t make manufacturing city. And let us not forge for minute that of the finest and sures ways to convince the coming capitalists that the really wanted is to give all possible suppor and encouragement to the industries aread have.

The Bremen.
Manchester Guardian.)

Even her rivals will congratulate the Bremen on her remarkable feat in breaking the trans Atlantic record for speedy crossing What makes her triumph all the more notable is that foggy weather seemed likely to rob her. almost at the end of her course, of the coveted distinction Rally ing from this handicap, the Bremen ran her last lap at the remarkable speed of nearly thirty knots That would not be bad rate for boat which like the destroyer, is built primarily for speed But for liner of more than forty thousand tons it is magnificent. Thus does the Atlantic contract. Of course, five-day crossings are not likely to become the rule for long enough even the Bremen will not hurry to break her record But such feats as hers are far more important than flights by aeroplane in the history of transatlantic trans port.
