STRING QUARTETTE
 AND MISS KERR

When seventeen-year-old Muriel Kerr made her debut in New York at the Inaugural Concert of the Schubert Memorial with the Phil harmonic orchestra under Mengel- berg, nothing was known about her except that she was chosen for the extra ordinary honor.
 Her. success was so instantaneous that within year from her debut she had played from coast to coast Curiosity concerning her and interest in her reached such a high pitch that 1t was found necessary to limit her 1930-31 tour to forty concerts. When a very youthful artist is much in demand, there is great danger of overtaXing her. However. in the case of Muriel Kerr no financial ad-

, miSsioners. The democrats are grind | ing out campaign material, as they expect power to figure largely in 1932. If they can obtain an adverse , vote on the commissioners. President Hoover will refuse to resubmit the nominations, but the democrats pur-
 pose will have been gained. Insurgent republicans, who must
 vote with the democrats If the mo-
 tions are to carry, are striving to
 make MT. Hoover unavailable for re-
 nomination. If they can make him
 unpopular through emphasis of this
 phase of the power dispute, it will
 serve their plans for 1882. There will
 be more of this strategy if congress ever gets back to farm relief. While the attack has the sem blance of sham battle in that the commissioners probably will remain in office regardless of the senate vote, the contest may have a more decisive echo. The senate is aroused by what some members describe as its own neglect in failing sufficiently to inquire into the views of the com missioners before confirmation. That haste will not be repeated in con- sideration of the tariff commission CTS, which is scheduled to begin next Monday.
 The senate's anger is likely to be thwarted so far as the power com mission is concerned and just as like ly to be vented upon the tariff com
 mission nominees, especially upon
 Henry P. Fletcher of Pennsylvania,
 nominated for the chairmanship. In the relief dispute. the interests of town and country openly are clashing.

 clude the unemployed in the cities. Longworth, Republican Floor Leader Tilson and Chairman Shell of
 the rules committee were just as adamant as Laguardia, and said they would let the measure lie there. The only way the bill can be taken from the speakers table is either by unanimous consent, which Laguardia, is preventing, or by special rule. Shell has said he would not consider a rule until he is requested formally.
 In addition to Laguardia's Objec- tion. republican leaders face a de- mand from democrats for approval of the $15,000,000 food loan pro- vision.
 "I'm going to get vote eventually on my proposition" Laguardia said to-day.
 Those desiring more extended re- lief than provided by the bill are considering a plan to have the senate add it's measure, with the food loans included, to the deficiency bill which now Is pending in the senate. The original house bill appropriated only 45.000,000. none of which was specified for food.

Insurgents Of This
 Congress Are Busy
(Continued from Page 1.)

Eight republicans and six demo- crats have informed Assistant Ma jority Leader McNary they desire to speak on the Walsh motion to re- consider the confirmation of Power Commissioners Smith, Garsaud and Draper. The debate promises to re- verberate and echo in the 1882 cam paign. As far as the senate is con- cerned the campaign already is on.
 Senators seeking the opportunity to speak on the power motion are:
 Republicans-Shortridge, Couzens, Norris, Brookhart, Borah. Cutting. Blaine and Johnson; democrats, Broussard, Ransdell. Walsh, Mont. Barkley, Dill and George. Four of the group probably will defend the commissioners.
 Minority Leader Robinson is op- posed to night sessions at this time. On two successive days McNary has proposed agreement to limit debate and has been defeated. He said he might put the night session proposal to q vote to-day.
 But there Is serious purpose be- hind the debate on the three com-

day is registration day at the relief committees headquarters and Chair man William M. Harris and his staff were busy receiving names.
 These applications will be inves- tigated during the next few days and the work will be given out in accordance with the needs of those applying. As stated yesterday, the number of men now working amounts to over 1900 and, it was said today. 1t is apparent that the figure will be we'll on the way to 2.000 if the applications continue to come in.
 Today, also, Chairman Harris was busily engaged laying down his plans for the clothing drive which will be conducted in Waterbury next week. The drive will start on Monday. In the churches on Sunday all pastors will urge their parishioners to give all the old clothing they have to the relief committee.
 This clothing will be nended and cleaned and distributed to families where it is now known that suffering is going on. due to the lack of proper garments to protect these needy per- sons against the winters cold.

cent or Lesson the transportation of certain
commodities. Other commodities, notably
those produced on the farm, would be ship
ped at the prevailing rate.
These surcharges would be gathered into a
general fund to be used to assist profitless
roads in paying their bond interest. Any mon
ey left over after that had been done, would
be divided among the lines in proportion to
the amount they contributed.
This may prove to be of assistance to the
lines-particularly those which are, from a
financial standpoint, weak sisters. But it alone
will not solve the fundamental railroad prob
lem. Even allow the increase would have prob
ably given only temporary relief. The main
thing-and the thing that must eventually be
done if our principal medium of transporta-
ton is to be saved from ruins to exert the
same type of regulation over all transport
agencies.
Railroads have lost millions of dollars of
business to bus and truck lines which use the
public highways for their road BEDS and are
subject to very little regulation. They have
lost millions more to waterways which have
been directly subsidized by government, both
in construction and in backing up a rate struc-
ture which creates deficits. So long as this con-
dition exists, our over-taxed, stringently reg
ulated railroads will be between the devil and
the deep blue sea.

We live in the midst of blessings till we are
utterly insensible to their greatness, and of the
source from whence they flow. We speak of
our civilization, our arts, our freedom, our
laws, and forget entirely how large a share is
due to Christianity. Blot Christianity out of
the page of mans history, and what would his
laws have been-what his civilization? Christi
anity is mixed up with our very being and
our daily life; there is not a familiar object
around us which does not wear a different
aspect because the light of Christian love is
on it-not a law which does not owe its truth
and gentleness to Christianity-not a custom
which cannot be traced, in all its holy health
full parts, to the gospel.-Sir A. Park.
