is the first time In 20 years that
had a new lesson" will be heard in
q violin recital this afternoon at
Constitution Hall.
Young Menuhin, whose fame Is
not unfamiliar to Washingtonians,
arrived here yesterday with his
father, Mosche Menuhin, who keeps
an eagle eye on the boy and pre-
vents him from OVERRIDING" In their
suite at the Carlton, Yehudi could
be heard practicing on his 100000
Stradivarius-a violin given to him
by a friend because the friend had
been so moved by the boys playing
of the Beethoven concerto-and the
father answered the telephone every
minutes with polite but determined
"No'sl"
This is Yehudi's one concert of
the week. His father allows him
but four month, and then he Is
shunted of for a two weeks vaca-
tion-starting on Saturday, for in
stance, for Palm Beach.
Since his last recital In WASH
ington, Yehudi has been most every
where in the world, has refused
hundreds of thousands of dollars
offered him by the Hollywood Aim
magnaUeS, cropped IN on Cnarue
Chaplin during the filming of "City
Lights" whereupon Mr. Chaplin de-
clared a holiday and did nothing but
entertain the boy, and was the cause
of Prof. Einsteins saying This little
Yehudi proves to me again that our
dear old Jehova Is still alivep
He has been invited by eight or
nine of the leading orchestras in
Europe to play for them-for the
first time in the history of music as
soloist with the orchestra merely as
an accompanying agent. This honor
has never been accorded any artist
before, and on account of 1t the
music has to be especially rear
ranged. Furthermore, Yehudi will
play three concertos at every one Of
these concerts, which also has never
been attempted. But Yehudi likes
concertos, and he likes orchestras-
so he will do 1t.
The boy has three homes-one in
New York, one in Basic, Switzerland,
where he studies with Adolph Bush,
and one in San Francisco, which
will eventually become the most per-
manent. He admireS Heifetz par

more important and much longer
praise be-waS the Tschaikowsky
Fifth Symphony" which has not
been heard here all Winter and
which was welcomed with open arms.
Whether because of the absence of
puissant examples of musical emo
tionaliSm so long from local pro-,
grams or because the pathos of the
haunting "RomanZa" movement has
never been better attended to, at
any rate, there were more tears evil
dent than usual, and even the light,
eerie grace of the "Valse' failed to
eradicate the fearful emotions pre-
viously aroused.
Mr.. Verbrugghen, an apostle of
direct and forceful conducting, given
over perhaps trifle to sluggish
nessss-aS in the interminable DO
lero"-outdid. himself nevertheless
in this symphony and won an ova-
ton which he easily deserved.
The orchestration of the Bach
prelude and Fugue," which owes its
being to the congressional energy
of the conductor, began ineffectively
and ended up with that blast of
sound which IS always the recipient
of much applause whether it de-
serves it or not. However, 1t was an
adequate opener"
The remainder of the program was
given over to Casella's quaint and
charming dances from the ballet

done without music. The first and
most effective was water study, in
which the dancers produced the eff
feet of sea waves with a rhythmic
movement of their bodies, wildly
suggesting the swell of the sea.
Miss Lathrop was particularly eff
fective in Purcell's Air on a Ground
Bass" in which she took the theme
and Mr.. Weidman portrayed the bass.
1t is q clever conception, well worked
out. Mr.. Weidman's work Is both
vivid and finished, not only in the
control of his body, but in facial
expressions. His Interpretation of
Borodin's "ScherZo," which was sub
phrey and himself at the close of
the program, was a brilliant bit Of
pantomine and dancing.
The second portion of the pro-
gram was music of the modern
school, the spirit of which was
vividly portrayed by Mr.. Weidman,
Charles Lasky and Jose Limon in
two short numbers. The first was

The pictures made by the enSem-
bles, as well as by Miss Lathrop,
Mr.. Weidman and the other solo
dancers were beautiful artistic and
always effective and elected rounds

SUMMERTIME
BY D. C. PEATTIE.

AS surely as Summer is ushered in
With open street cars and straw hats
and the merry note OF the electric fan,
so some one of my friends, well mean
ing, and knowing my love fer nature
invites me on a picnic-Great Falls,
Black Pond, Mount Vernon, Annapolis
or an excursion farther still afield to
Manassas or Gettysburg or Chancellors-
Vile, and on those ancient battlef1eids
I and my temper and the chiggers do
great battle.
Now a picnic is a fine thing for a
grocer. because 1t always takes quanti-
ties OF extra butter and bread for sand
wiches; quantities Of sugar and salt are
carried leagues from home and lost
forever to the larder; reserves of pickles
and olives and ham and cheese are
rushed up from the store. But picnic
as meal, Is an inferior form Of ALI
mentation. There is always sand in the
! sandwiches or you get jam on your lap
or you gag on the peanut butter, and
the coffee runs tepid out Of the doughty
vacuum bottle.
1t is also a poor way for a naturalist
to pass his time. The shrieks of the
children send every bird and squirrel
within mile radius lying away. Any
Turks-cap lilies, any orchids or phlox
unlucky enough 10 caCcn the eSLneLlC
eyes of the ladies are fallen upon evil
days. The men complain of the food
and every one, on reaching home, con-
tracts virulent case of poison ivy.
The only sort of picnic that those
with an eye for bird and respect for
flower can enjoy are those improptu
affairs, devoid of vacuum bottles and
picnic suit cases fitted with nickel gad-
gets that don't work, which are entered
into as an agreement between friends
Children should picnic With children
People that like swimming parties best
should go swimming, and invite nc
1andlubbers. And nature lovers should
Aock together, and, walking swiftly,
talking softly, share their own special
delights. For them the slogan must be
Perish the shrieking automobile; down
with all sandwiches; ostractze all
trampers who are always too hot or too
cold, who have fallen arches. house

Death to banging sportsmen.''
A fisherman in the party is just ac-
ceptable, especially if he catches any
thing. But no gushers. No rushers-
the athletic kind that wants to TICK of
the miles for miles sake.
Then, as you drink spring water out

Chicken Outlets,

These are made of a very soft cro-
quette mixture, just capable Of being
handled and no sitter. The chicken
that comes whole in cans and Is al
ready perfectly cooked is excellent for
these, and saves all the time and trou-
BILE Of cooking. Chop the chicken fine,
son well with salt, pepper and celery
salt. Make rather heavy white sauce
and add to the chicken, mixing well
and having the mixture soft. Spread
on a platter to cool, shape into outlet
form. and dip in egg and crumbs and
fry in hot fat. They may be served
hot and are delicious cold. Garnish
with lemon slices, olives or spiced fruits.
Serve with asparagus salad. The as

We start getting certain notions about

the notions are wrong, but we go right

he was chased and bitten by q dog. To

says that his heart just turns over.
It's just like this: He knows per-
fectly well that dogs are usually good.
natured and harmless; that they are
easily frightened by him; that he can
always drive them away with harsh
word or small stick. He has dogs
around him in his house and In his
garden. But underneath all his pleas
ures with dogs is this continual fear
that he got as child.
In his case it doesn't affect his BUSH
ness life. But you probably have some
fear which does make some difference
to you in your work. II when you were
young you got the idea that. certain
people were grand and important and
that You were poor inferior and insig-

you become, no matter how great or how
famous or how rich, in your heart you
never get rid Of that feeling Of tnsig-
ni1cance.
It's a good. wholesome feeling in
many ways, because it makes people try

ambition than love Of money or any,

PERSONAL HEALTH SERVICE
BY WILLIAM BRADY, M. d.

In fact, this is a good rule of safety:
Never take q purgative in the presence
Of severe pain or distress in stomach"
or abdomen.
II the trouble happens to be appen-
dicities or other acute Inflammation,
the physic Stirs things up and tends to
spread the Inflammation. Out Of the
5,121 appendicitis cases mentioned 306
ended fatally. OF these 406 patients
who died 121 had made the mistake Of
taking a physic before sending for q
doctor, and they ell had general peri
tonitis. Only 20 of the patients that
developed general peritonitis had not
taken purgative.
In Philadelphia the medical and
health authorities issue this advice to
the public:
I'm the presence Of abdominal pain
give nothing by mouth. Never give q
laxative. Apply an ice bag. Call your
physician. Abdominal pain which per-
siStS for six hours is usually dangerous"
don't know, but suspect the COM
mon habit of taking laxatives is q pre-
dispoSing cause of appendicitis. I be-
lieve a daily spoonful or two of whole
raw fiaxseeds instead Of the customary
physic actually tends to prevent appen-
dicitiS.
