University singers, however. the analogy fails to hold
true. A coming Caruso or Melba may be included in the
Madrigal roster but, lacking individual fame and laurels
of achievement, we cannot know that.
What we can be sure Of, however, is that the voices In
the Madrigal Club performance will be clear and young
and we'll trained in the numbers which they will present.
We can be sure that the performance will be given with
the verve and spirit Of youth and with that natural pep"
which professional producers sometimes strive in vain to
emulate.
We can be sure that these performers will give the very
best they have. for they undoubtedly are enjoying this
trip to which they have looked forward oil season and
may be depended upon to arrive here in high spirits.
Spirit and enthusiasm can take the place of practice
and training in some endeavors but when careful drilling
and preparation are combined with them the result often
Is amazing.
To offer a critque upon the work of the Madrigal club
in advance of its performance would be impossible and
unfair to all concerned, but we feel safe in predicting
that the offering tonight will be e~minently satisfactory
and will more than repay Bismarck citizens for the time
and money spent in attending it.

Hidden Values

Among the many ways in which the government touches
the business of the country Is one wholly approved by
businessmen. This is the activity Of the Commerce De-
partment in making available to industry and to cii-
zens generally the latest and most accurate information
on various commercial subjects.
Recognizing the business OF operating a home as the
biggest and most complex in America, the department
has issued a booklet on how to buy furniture. 1t tells the
home-owner everything he could want to know about
intelligent purchasing of household equipment.
The reason for issuing the booklet is set forth in a
statement the gst Of which is this: "The very nature
OF furniture requires that the principal construction
features be hidden" 1t further asserts that conditions
have not been such as to give even the most cautious
consumer all the information he needs for really inteli-
gent buying"
The essence of a good many problems is contained in
the statement that the principal construction features"
are hidden. The essential qualities of either q person or
a product may be CLOSED over with paint or pretense.
Most intelligent persons keep that fact in mind when
doing q great many things besides purchasing furniture.
If it is essential to know that a chair is strongly built
of good materials, 1t is equally as advisable to be sure,
in making a friend, that he has within himself the quail
tiles which make for loyal friendship-and that you have
those qualities also.
For friends are fully as important and as necessary to
we'll being as chairs.

This Is National Jewish Hospital Week, during which
funds are raised to carry on the National Jewish hospi-
tai in Denver, and that Is q reminder Of this particularly
gracious work for the relief Of human suffering, which
is beautiful not merely for what it does for those suffer-
ing from tuberculosis but for its influence IN breaking
down barriers Of race and creed.
For this hospital not only works under the motto
None may enter who can pay-none can pay who enter"
but, though it was established by Jews and in the main
is supported by them, those at its door know no restric-
lions Of race when sufferers apply. It Is strictly nom
sectarian In its service to afflicted mankind, and when
sick people apply it does not care whether they are Jews
or Gentiles, Catholics or Protestants. Just sickr:-s and
need are all that anybody requires to receive the benefit
Of its healing ministry.
The first Of its kind in the country, this splendid hos
pital has been operating for ~thirty-one years. Like many
other institutions, the depression has crippled It's receipts,
and it must have help to keep going. It would be SO
great q pity to have it stop that the thought Of 1t Is IN
tolerable. Yet a current deficit Of q hundred and fifty
thousand dollars Is an ugly menace.
This week National Jewish Hospital Bonds, selling for
q dollar up, are being offered. These bonds should be
sold, here and elsewhere. In amounts great enough 10
abolish the deficit and reassure those who depend on this
institution for life and health. And there should be no
more racial distinction in giving than the hospital makes
in bestowing It's tender and merciful manifestations.
Those who wish to give should communicate With n.
Y. Josephs or Albert Marx, who head the local campaign
