excellence during the evening.
The classics were REALISTICALLY por-
trayed by Miss Becker in Bach's
Prelude In B-Flat" and Mozart's Fan
taisie in D-Minor" Mr.. Guaraldi did
likewise vocally with "Se Vuol Ballare."
by Mozart: Hear Me, Ye Winds and
Waves by Handel, and I'm Questa
Tomba," by Beethoven. Artistic stand
ards set by tradition were adequately
measured up to by both artists.
Miss Becker later played an interest,"

sympathetic tonal coloring. She was
last heard in brilliant reading of the
first movement of Grieg's Concerto in
A-Minor," with Catherine Benson con-
tributing artistically to the ensemble at
the second piano.
MIR. Guaraldi, with every considera-
ton for the dramatic vein of the

CHICAGO ADOPTS
WARTIME METHOD
Four Minute Men Who Sold
Liberty Bonds to Make Drive
for $74,OOO,OO
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, February 22.-The -Four
Minute Men," who sold nearly $780,
900, 900 worth of Liberty bonds during
the war, heard the call to ection again
today, this time to raise money for a
city. Through this Liberty Loan or
ganization the Silas H. Strawn citi-
zens' committee expects to raise STA
OO0,O 900 to keep the local governments
running
Nearly $4,000. 900 is needed imme-
diately to pay the overdue salaries of
43,800 public employees. In two days
only half this sum has been subscribed.
Call Made for Action.
The s o S to the "Four-Minute Men"
was sent out late yesterday by Strawn
when it appeared evident that monies
he had hoped to obtain were not
promptly forthcoming. He prevailed
upon Philip r. Clarke, president of the
Central Trust Co. of Illinois. to or
ganiza the "Four-Minute Men" for a
drive in the manner SO successful in
the sale of Liberty bonds.
Clarke at once began selecting chair
men for the 25 committees, one to each
trade, and called them together today.
Despite the holiday. he expected to have
the drive started by nightfall. He in
formed the trust company that he
would be of duty four days. by the
end Of which time he plans to have OBJ
tanned the necessary subscriptions.
Three Hampering Factors.
Strawn said three factors had arisen
to hamper collection of the money by
the citizens committee. Many large
taxpayers believe public officials should
be compelled to curb expenditures be-
fore receiving private aid, he said.
Still others resent lack of formal prom
Use from the city and school board OFF,
Gals that they will cooperate on legis-
lation to prevent a recurrence of the
present conditions. Thirdly, the sensa-
tional reports of sums already received
have created a general feeling amonl
many taxpayers that their aid is not
needed.

Says:

BEVERLY HILLS.-Poor old dis
armament conference. even If it
does make an agreement with each
other, why before they can tele-
graph the news back to their
countric why the men that made
the agreement may be thrown out
OF ONCE. Every one of those dele
cations have to read the papers
every morning to find if they are
still working. France just called
for another preacher right in the
middle Of the sermon.
There is not even a two weeks
clause in any political contract
over there. Any time you pull a
bad move you are out on your ear,
and they throw your hat after you.
On account of us being a democracy
md run by the people, we are the
only nation in the world that has
to keep a government four years
