when we lived there before we never
had any money to spare. 1t would be
pretty nice, Jim, to go back and have
something to draw on when donations
were wanted. Do you remember how
mortified we were that year that we
could not buy chautauqua tickets and
everybody wondered why we didn't go,
and the Taylors were always offering
us their seats saying they couldn't use
them? I've often thought that Agnes

Perhaps the most important and

HEARD
IN VIOLIN
RECITAL

The name of Jascha Helfetz
synonymous with perfection. SO
we who went to Polls Theater
yesterday afternoon, knew before
hand, the delightful violin re-
cital, that was in store.
Heifetz possesses a certain re-
serve, a zmodesty. that highly
becomes him. He has an APP
pearance of a poet, who sets him.
self apart from the world and
dwells in the land Of romance.
But Heifetz Is not so far re-
moved, that he fails to touch the
heart of every listener to his
wonderful music.
Under the magic bowling of the
world famous virtuoso, a violin
takes on an almost human quail
ity. 1t becomes singer of beauti-
full songs. He puts his whole soul
into each melody--which breathes
of his youth and pulsates with
the emotions of centuries.
His first group, which opened
with the Sonata in + Minor by
Iocatelli, was expressive of his
pleasant mood. The audience was
delighted from the first. but they
displayed a particular enthusiasm
over LES Petets Moulins a Vent"
little Wind Mills, by the great
Couperin, adapted to the violin by
Michael Press. From this COM
position of lively lingering and
bowling, we had a vivid picture of
the whirling mills, and one OF the
finest exhibitions of the artists
facility of technique.
Mensellssohn's Concerto" was
the feature of the program, II
has been admitted In all musical
circles that this composition Is
the most complete vehicle OF vio-
lin artistry. For in 1t are major
tests Of bowling, rhythm, lingering
and expression, that make 1t
piece, that few violinists will dare
to try. But with Heifetz, it was
just another song for his violin 20
sing. Brilliant tona1 colors and
harmonious shadings flashed
under the gifted fingers, in mello
notes that resembIed a cello.
1t might be said that Heifetz
was at his hest yesterday, and
that. he brought to us a joyous
moment, that win not soon be
forgotten.

emotions, such as anger, fear and joy stop the hunger contractions. But intellectual states, such as reading and reasoning, do not seem to interfere with the hunger pains particularly. Hence it is impossible for children in school to give at tention to their lessons when they are exceedingly huuhgry. On the other hand. excitement or anger during the hunger period interferes with the proper action of the diges- tive organs and is to be avoided.
 The experts in physiology have also found q definite relationship between the amount of sugar in the blood and the intensity of the un- ger contractions. When the blood sugar is markedly decreased. hun ser is increased when there S much sugar in the blood, the hun ger is decreased. For this reason, it is easy to satisfy hunger with candy or sugar, as this type oG food enters the blood quickly.
 One of the most certain and quickest ways to kill an appetite is to eat candy just before a meal. On the other hand, a piece of candy after a meal satisfies the hunger sensation.
