MCDONALD ENJOYS
HOURS AT CHEQUERS
Premier Delights in Long Walks
Through Country With
Peter, His Pet Dog.

LONDON (NA.NA.).- Mac
donald Is essentially an open-air man
and some of his happiest hours during
his term Of Office have been those spent
at Chequers, the official country resi-
dence Of British premiers.
When staying in this beautiful and
historic Buckinghamshire haven, Mr..
Macdonald delights to take long coun-
try walks with his airedale terrier.
Peter. He walks quickly, over rough
country, and seldom wears an overcoat.
One Of his favorite tramps is up to the
crest Of a windswept spur of the Chill
terms, from where one can see the
ancient village Of Belinesbury, the
traditional home of Cymbeline.
MIR. Macdonald Is much interested in
the contents Of his temporary home
and he has enjoyed showing these
treasures to many distinguished mem
bers OF the naval. delegations during
the last few weeks.
The prime minister Is, next to the
sovereign, the most closely guarded
man in Great Britain. One inf1exible
rule that devolves Is that the doors
OF the house must always be kept
locked.

MENGELBERG'S

With noncnaIance that bor-
dered on indifference WilleTn
Mengelberg swept . mighty
orchestra into the first bars Of
Richard Strauss tone poem,

York Philharmonic Symphony
Society gave its first concert
Of the season in Constitution
Hall yesterday afternoon.
Having taken in q few details
of the auditorium and his au-
dier1ce, the Dutch concert macs.
tro returned to his conductorial
duties with an air Of satisfac.
ton and the great opus was
carried on.
Nothing was lost by that mo.
nentary distraction. These
musicians need not constantly
be governed. Mengelberg on
the other hand has too clear
an understanding Of the com.
poSer's thoughts to step out Of
character in q fleeting relaxa-
ton. The gesture was unmis-
takably made with full con-
fidence that indulgence in
natural inclination would not
rob q masterpiece Of its irides-
cent grandeur.
Yet, the dynamic leader re.
called q signal which inaugu.
rated the fourth movement Of
the TschaikoWSky Symphony
No. 5 In e Minor, because Of
distant sounds Of q coachman's
call and cooIly regarded those,
who were forced to leave before
the close Of the concert, which
was prolonged more than half
an hour.
Such incidents serve to en-
phaSize the senSitivity Of the
gifted leader and give inklings
to why music under his baton
is never quite the same as an
other conductors. Through
them we may comprehend the
individuality which he ema-
mates every movement he is in
command.
Still how erously he
checked that potent factor to

several times for his admirable

Doctor tells how to heal
CHAPPED HANDS

"CHAPpED hands," writes leading Baltimore
- doctor, usually come from one of three
causes: hot water taking out the oils which keep
the skin soft, insufficient drying of the hands in
cold weather; or strong alkaline soaps that also
dry out the oils, roughen the skin and make it
brittle and coarse.
prescribing for bad cases ofchapped hands,
normally consider it necessary, first, to apply
something which will relieve the pain or irrita-
ton and which will help to soften the skin-then,
an antiseptic medication which will keep the tiny
cracks or skin abrasions free from infection and
promote quick healing.
"Inmy experience, Noxzema Cream is the most
effective preparation for accomplishing all of
these things 1t is pure white cream contain.
ing variety of soothing, antiseptie medication.
1t stops the smarting instantly, softens the skin
and promotes rapid healing. 1t has the added
advantage of being greaseless so that it can be
applied during the day or at night without band
aging and without fear of soiling clothes

 In the utilities, Electric Bond d; Share, Utilities Power & Light and American Light & Traction new were well bought. rising a point or so.

The Appa- lachian Gas Corp. common stock was admitted to trading on this market, selling initially at 13 3-S. The stock closed in Chicago yester- day at 12 1-i.
