WELL RECEIVED

An enthusiastic audience greet
ed Miss Bertha Young. well known
Brownsville musician, when she ap-
peared in concert Wednesday eve
ming at the Junior college audi
forum, for the benefit of the Public
Health Nursing association.
The program was wei balanced.
and displayed Miss Young's full
range Of technical and musical
ability. Numbers were arranged in
four groups. beginning with the
classics, through Chopin and on
down to the ultra-moderns.
In the group Of classics with
which she opened the program, the
yourg pianist promptly won her
audience by her true musicianship,
brilliant technic and deep, lovely
tones. A most interesting Bach
Fuge and Prelude was the first of
this group, followed by two move
ments of the Beethoven Moon
light Sonata" and the ever lovely
Schuman "Papillons."
The Brahms Intermezzo, Opus
l19, and three Chopin numbers
brought her listeners infinite pleas
ure. with her sure phrasing of the
melodies. The Chopin group was
civ u-all rrovol orI afforl
ed much contrast in tonal qualities
and moods.
Miss Young seemed even more at
eace in the modern selections. cap
turing perfectly their elusive at
mosphere and unexpected Shad-
ings, and proved herself eqaul at all
times to numbers by Friffes, Debus-
sy, and Phillip, outstanding men,
bers Of this school.
The program closed with two
widely differing numbers. Sparks. :
by MoSkowski. performed with a
delicate touch and sparkling runs,
offering a great contrast with the
crashing chords and pronounced
rhythmS OF the Spanish Dance"
by Granados.
Miss Young's poise and charm
ing presence put the audience at
ease. and added much to their
pleasure. and she played with in

purposeful study.
She received her early training

ATEOPERATES
DEFICIENCY

AUSTIN, Nov. 6.-tP1-The State
of Texas, having exhausted its gen.
eral revenu fund, was operating on
a deficiency basis today.
Although this is the first time In
several years that there has been a
deficiency. the reason was not due
70 extraordinary slowness of tas
collections, but to inability of
banks to advance funds as they had
done in previous years, Gregory
Hatcher, state treasurer, said.
Gov. Dan Moody expressed sur
prise that Hatcher was unable to
make the usual arrangements. say
ing he had recently been told by
the vice president of a large bank
that his bank would be glad to take
care of a part of the warrants.
The governor also called atten-
ton to d law passed by the 40th
legislature. in which the annual
deficiency until tax collections are
paid into the treasure in January
and February, was recognized.
Hatcher said there was not cri-
ticism due the banks. for refusing
to continue to assist me in artifi-
cially financing the state" because
"tha increased financial burdens
placed upon them and the increased
legal complications that have arisen
from year to year fully warrants
such action"

Leakage of electric currents from

causes serious injury to trees, ac-
cording to tree specialists in the
United States Department of Agri-

injury to trees and shrubs is scorcll-

plants being located where white
washed or light-colored walls reflect
the heat of the sun. Other types of
injury to trees are caused by dense
shade or too intense sunlight.
