Original Modernistic Music.

BY Radio to The Star.
BERLIN, Germany, September 20
After successful concerts in London and

charming daughter of Albert Halstead,
American consul-general at London,
made her debut before q highly critical
Berlin public last night with a first
performance of Wheeler Beckett's orig
inal and modernistic music to Walt
Whitman's Mystic TruImpeter."
Whitman's rhapsody Of the almost ex-
tinct large North American swan was
sung with a deep understanding of the
words and music in a clear, dramatic
soprano. Miss HalStead's voice thrilled
the American and German audience
which crowded the Philharmonic Hall.
Enthusiastic applause greeted the COM

view to undertaking on a cooperative
basis with the Department of Commerce

there are other credit agencies besides
personal finance engaged in the field of
personal credit and to make a compre-

Constantly expanding opportunities
Tor the personal finance business were
sketched by Mr.. Persons. Pointing to
the census figures, which in 1890 placed
the rural population at 80 per cent and
the industrial, or city, population at 10
per cent, he said the industrial popula-
ton today is around go per cent and
the rural population 40 per cent.
Although the process OF induStriali-
cation has been going forward for years
the definite shift To a predominantly
industrial population" said Mr.. Per-
sons, occurred in 1920. In the ordi-
nary course Of events the industrial
population should be j 5 per cent by
1910. Since the State-Supervised small

the industrial worker for patronage the
increase in the city population eventu-

The Importance of consumer credit II
the national business structure wa:
stressed by DR.. Julius Klein, Assistant
Secretary of Commerce, in a statement
issued yesterday commenting on the dis
cussions of consumer finance which Will
feature the sixteenth annual convention
of the American Association of Personal
Finance Companies to be held in the
United States Chamber of Commerce
Building here from September % to 20.
DR.. Klein, who is an internationally
known authority or foreign and domes-
tic commerce, stated that studies OF per-
sonal finance were desirable to aScer-
tain the facts surrounding consumer
credit from the standpoint Of the m
diyidual.
Field Little Explored.
"The field of consumer credit is as
little explored from the standpoint OF
the individual consumer as was the
general situation surrounding INSTALL
ment finance only a few years ago,
said DR.. Klein. 1T is an important
and sizeable factor in our national econ
omy. The sterilization OF consumer
credit is certain to exert positive m
f1uences over a considerable proportion
Of the business Of the country.
1.-The time is approaching, he con-
full to ascertain the facts surrounding
this form of credit, which, though ex-
tended in small units, nevertheless in
the aggregate amounts to hundreds OF
millions of dollars annually.
THUS far virtually all that is known
about personal financing is that which
has been developed through the sam
ping surveys of the Russell Sage Foun-
dation and the private and uncorrelated
research of concerns i'll the personal
finance business.
ut seems established that more than
80 per cent OF our population has oc-
caSion to employ with regularity some
form of small loan credit II we are to
sustain the processes of mass consump-
ton of merchandise, it is likely that
these consumer credit facilities will
continue to serve usefully in maintain
ing economic balance between domestic
production and consumption. 1t is an
intriguing field for business research
and one from which is likely to emerge
eventually some valuable business indi-
