CHAMINADE GLEE CLUB BANQUET

GLEE CLUB BANQUET
THE Chaminade Glee Club held a
banquet at the Shoreham Hotel
last evening to celebrate its tenth
anniversary. The dinner was fol-
lowed by a program Of music and
speeches. The entertainment was
conducted in the guise of g. radio
broadcast with the president, Louise
Munsey, as announcer. Esther Lin
kinS, the director, gave a short well
come; Hans Kinder, guest Of honor,
made speech for the National
Symphony Orchestra, and Gideon A.
Lyon read an address on Washing
ton as a Cultural Center" One of
the members, Florence Human, also
gave a clever history of the club in
verse.
The music was supplied by .Erbin
G. Thomas, baritone, and Dorothy
Radde Emery, local composer-pian-
ist, Mr.. Thomas two groups were
selected carefully with an eye to
variety and interest. The aria

an old Cornish air, encore to the
first group. had marked rhythmic
swing. The well worn HUM In
victus" was also done with real con-
viction. Fortunately Mr.. Thomas
chooses songs whose words are
worthy of emphasis, even In such
humorous ones as Sanderson'S Cap
tain Mac" The three verses of an
English ballad by Lord Somerset
were perhaps too long for an en-
core, but the song was very fine and
thoughtfully rendered. Mrs How
ard Blandy. the club accompanist,
gave Mr.. Thomas sympathetic sup
port in the piano parts.

Congress and Business


The United States Chamber of Commerce says
we shouldn't have special session OF congress. be
cause of the uncertainties which inevitably would
follow" That's myth.
Myths are very pleasant things, sometimes Take,
for instance the myth that horsehair if kept in a
bottle of water long enough will turn into snake.
Or the myth about the Republican party and pros
perity.
But myths have no place in adult America, and
myths like the now being fostered by the United
States Chamber of Commerce are better dead than
alive.
If it's true that congress makes business unset
tied, it's just as true to say that all government
operations should be stopped to business. Con-
gress is only a third of the federal government.
Would you send all the executive branch on a
vacation to help business? Or put the lid on judicial
activities to help business? AS a matter OF fact
the executive and judicial branches of our federal
government probably have more direct effect upon
business than the legislative.
Tie Constitution decreed that congress shall
meet to legslate, when legislation is needed There
is before the present session great deal of i'm
portant business that may not be transacted before
March 4
In ttht event. or if some important issue arises
that requires legislative action congress should meet
in special session.
For decade after decade, we have been having
regular sessions Of congress and special sessions and
business has gone right along.
A special session now is unlikely to disturb any
legitimate business.

The public will hardly agree with the
suggestion of the attorney general that one

Either this commissioner is crook and

It "a matter of record that in many other
cases this particular commissioner, CALVIN

charge by the encouragement is true.
There is no middle course and no com

If the utilities have been brlbing mem

There should be some challenge to the
legislature in the fact that this money was
taken from a holding company and not
utility. It is time to investigate what these
holding companies do with their funds and
how they get the money out Of the hands OF
the controlled utility into the pockets OF the
uncontrolled holding company.
Not only this small concern but every
holding company for utilities should be
probed.
The people should know what IS being
paid to the holding company of the electric
company in this city and how huge are the
sums that are being charged to operating
expenses for the benefit OF this legal fiction.
The people should examine the other
holding companies and find out what is being
taken from the people of this state for the

This slip by small utility operator
should be the occasion for examining the
whole financial utility structure.
Crooked commissioners must go to JAIL
Crooked holding companies must be curbed.

A person with chronic bronchitis

This mucus may be stained by

This brings about further difficulty
of breathing and more wear on the
heart, because it is harder to get
the proper amount of oxygen into
the blood.
Obviously the treatment of bron-

good climate is important, since in
this way the patient is relieved
from the smoke and the fumes and
the dust which keep his tissues
constantly irritated.
Infections in the nose, throat and

mucus membranes.
There are other drugs which aid
a free flow Of mucous, thus serving
to wash the surfaces of the n1ucus
membranes free from the irritating
materials.

the attending physician can pre-
scribe drugs which will be of great
