The most brilliant assemblag, ,
of dignitaries Washington has
seen this season paid signal honor
to a little bushy-haired master of
the piano last night in Constitu.
ton Hall.
The First Lady of the Land,
members of the Cabinet, diplo-
mats, Congressional leaders and
social lights for more than two
hours sat enthralled by the musi-
cal wizardry of Ignace Jan Pad
erewSki.
Only One Paderewski
Paderewski opened his program
with the Bach prelude and fugue
in A minor, a LiSzt transcription.
It was followed by the A Major
Sonata of Mozart-beautiful in its
nobility and profound in its mus
ical thought.
But it was in Chopin'S compost
tionS that the pianist rose to his
own great stature. He played
the B Minor Sonata, with execu-
tion that ranged from a fairy,
gossamer-like touch, to brilliant
dynamics that fairly made the
rafterS ring.

bers, four exquisite gems from
the pen of DebuSsy, and Listz's

FIVE MORE HELD
IN WATERS
MURDER
Altogether 18 Arrests Have
Been Made, But Police Ad-
nit Case Seems Hopeless

Five more colored men were
arrested yesterday by Mont
gomery county police in con.
nection with the murder OF
Horace D. Waters, 79, in his
store at Old Germantown, Md,
last Wednesday night.
Although this brings the total
of arrests to 18, little hope is
now held for the capture and
Identification of the guilty. r.
A. Bennett, 68-year-old clerk, and
the three colored customers in
the store at the time of the
shooting told police they were
too scared to remember how the
gunmen looked.
Two suspects were brought
from Hagerstown, two from Cum
berland, and the fifth was
nabbed near Old Germantown.
Detective Sergeants William j.
Flynn and M. j. Dunn, of Balti-
more, who have been working
with county police, returned to
Baltimore, practically giving up
hope of catching the slayers.

Jiggs and Maggie today are be-
ginning their third decade of
matrimony, still pickering, still
clashing over whether royal titles
are more important than corned
beef and cabbage, but their mari
tai battles are doing more than
their bit to make life brighter in
the great American home.
This is the opinion of notables
who last night celebrated the
china wedding anniversary Of the
famous Bringing Up Father"
comic strip characters, and hailed
their creator, George McManuS,
at a dinner at the Willard.
300 Guests Present
The chubby, genial cartoonist

800 MINUS JOBS
SET To TAKE
Anything
Commissioners and Board OF
Education Pledge Aid;
U. S. Clerks Help

Montgomery county has SOC
persons whose need for jobs
is so great they a:e willing to
take any kind Of occupation
for which they are physically
fit, a recent survey made by
the unemployment relief com.
ittee of the Social Service
League shows.
Practically all of these per,
sons are heads of families.
Included in this group are
eeamstresses, salesladies, prac'
tical nurses, domestic, farm
laborerS, painters, carpenters,
elevator operators, boiler makers,
caddies, mechanics, bricklayers,
electricians, printers, chauffeurs,
watchrnen, chefs, plumbers, sign
painters, cabinet makers, up
holsterers, statesmen, contractors,
a research worker and a civil
engineer.
An Emergency Work Bureau,
under the direction of George w
Davis, with Mrs. Robert D.
Hagner, secretary, has been or.
ganized with offices m the Rock,
vile courthouse.
This bureau will attempt to
place all who are listed with it.
1t has been promised the aid of
the county commissioners on road
jobs, and assistance from the
Board of Education.
Any person needing help, re-
gardless of how long such help
is needed, is requested to get in
touch with the bureau. Prefer
ence will be given those who have
the greatest number of depend
entS.
Clerks Pledge $12,98O
While the salaries paid will not
be comparable with those paid in
similar positions procured on the
outside, the wage scale Will be as
generous as possible under a re-
lief plan.
It is estimated that this repre-
sents but one-half of the unem-
ployed in the county, making the
average about per cent. Pledges
amounting to $12,98O have been
received from Government clerks
living in Montgomery county.
