RuBINsTEIN CLUB CONCERT.


The Rubinstein Club Is the oldest
women's choral group In the city, and
the members always present their pro-
grams in the large ball room. of the VIII
lard Hotel Last night they gave the
final program Of the current season be-
fore an audience that completely filled
the hall. The members themselves, as
usual, made an attractive picture,
grouped in their pastel-tinted evening
gowns in a tier Of seats at one end of
the hall, with palms and vari-colored
flowers in huge basket as decoration.
The club has never sung better than
1t did in the famous "Seraphic Song"
by Rubinstein, the composer for whom
the club Is named. The arrangement
was that of Samuel r. Gaines. There
was intelligent cooperation In smooth
production Of well blended tone quality
and nice sustaining Of q long spun
note just before the final phrase. Only
in one passage, just following the final
alto solo phrase, did the chorus come in
with loud, sharp attack, when q softer
rising to fortiSsimo might have been
much more effective.
The whole thing was 80 well done,
with splendid singing of the alto part
by Edith White, who has an unusually
rich voice. and exquisite violoncello ac-
companying as well as piano, that the
latter part of it was repeated This
song is one Of the most beautiful melo-
dies ever written, and the singer would
be soulless who could not grasp its mes
sage and give 1t Interpretation. Claude
Robson led his singers effectively In
this number and also the Cornelius

q king. Thus, briefly, was the spirit
OF comedy most strongly in evidence
at the eginning-amusing, gay, I'M
hackneyed' Nevertheless, 1t withered
into somewhat inglorious grave at
the end.
The most pronounced moments of
merit in this play are when PanSy
Horner admits that she has bought
the ferry boat under her husbands
very nose; when Hattie convinces
John that his wife, Pansy, Is about
to become q mother; when the ferry
boat gives up the ghost and ex-
plodes In the middle of the National
Theater's most realistic rainstorm,
and when Freddie Sherman's most
lawyer like contract Is mutilated
into o curt sentence by the subtle
Nick Dominick. There are other
hilarious moments, too, lots of them,
in the first two acts, particularly
when Edith Gresham is casting her
net around the lifeguard who rescues
her, only to find that he Is to marry
her. Otherwise, the end Is apparent
ly too near the beginning, as is the
custom Of most comedies Of the pres
ent day and age.
The role which Frank Craven
played for a time this season in
New York Is handled most credit
ably by Walter Gilbert. Marion
Wells seems especially we'll cast, and
1t Is Joy to have Marion Sterly
back after her few weeks vacation.
The chief honors for real, deep,
dyed-in-the-wool Characterization
are carried of by Edith Gresham
and Romano Calender, but Freddie
Sherman and Forrest Orr do well
with less conspicuous roles.
On the whole, salt Water" is a
breezy comedy, whose virtues stand

are hidden by the talents of its
thespian navigators. e. de 8. M.

cessful last night. Mary Garrett Lewis

PIANIST.
The e0-piece orchestra was under the

showed unusually fine coordination and

INCREASED BIRTH RATE
IMPERILS BULGARIANS
Land Will Not Sustain Rapid Rise
in Population, Sofia States
men Fear.

SOFIA P.-Bulgaria holds first
place in Europe and possibly also In
the world for proportional increase Of
population.
According to the statistical ONCE,
which has just completed the returns
for 1923, the number of births recorded
in that year was 1876 000-or 80 per
1000 inhabitants. The proportion of
deaths was 18 per 1000.
Both figures show q considerable de-
crease from preceding years, but the
increase in population by is per 1000
every year is giving rise to some anx-
iety among the government authorities.
It Is argued that, with modern by
gienic methods and the campaign
against such devastating diseases as
tuberculosis, the population of the
country soon will be too great. It Is
now about 100000.
There Is no more land to be divided
among the peasants and industries
cannot provide employment for the ex-
cess population, so that measures will
have to be taken to induce the people
to emigrate.

Electrical Treatment Of
Soil of Little Value

There is a great difference Of
opinion among agricultural sci
entists as to the value of electricity
in the cultivation of various food
crops. Many English authorities
claim that grain and some garden
produce is quite materially speeded
up so far as growth is concerned
and the quality improved, by a cur
rent of electricity passing between
the ground and a network of wires
suspended above the growing crops.
A Finland farmer reports an in
crease of 30 per cent in the amount
Of produce and grain grown in this
manner. The United States Agri-
cultural department has been ex-
perimenting with the subject for
years and the final conclusion is
that no benefit OF at least very little
has resulted from the electrical
treatment of the soil. In fact il
was noticed that a slightly pro-
longed exposure resulted in kill,
ing the seed placed in the ground.
This conclusion is agreed in by some
other authorities so that the pre-
ponderance of opinion is that the
electrical treatment of soil is with
out result.-EXchange.

Magnesium Long Known

Magnesium metal has been known
to science 100 years. Though known
for 122 years it appeared in its
purest form a century ago and has
been available commercially for
more than Go years, says DR.. John
A. Gam, metallurgist, in a report
to the American Chemical society
on the development of the magne-
SUM industry.
Since the date of its discovery
it has been found that the metal Is
about seventy times as plentiful as
nickel and 200 times as abundant
as copper. Magnesium salts are
also found in mineral waters and
in the ocean. The important raw
material for magnesium production
in the United States at the present
time is Michigan salt brines.
