HUNDREDS OF DISEASE
GERMS ARE ISOLATED

In discussing the Early Diagnosis
Campaign and the contribution made
by modern research TO the war on
tuberculosis, Professor john Weinglrl,
director of the McDermott Foundation
OF Seattle said hundreds of disease
germs have been isolated in the fifty
years since Koch's great discovery Of
the germ OF tuberculosis was an
nounced, Many Of them have sue
cumbed to remedies produced by
scientific research following their dis
covery; yet the germ of tuberculosis
itself has defied the quest of scientists
for a cure.
To-day efforts are being made along
this line by TIE Eesearch Committee
OF the National tuberculosis Associa-
ton with funds derived from the seal
sale. Though the germ still defies
science, progress Is being made toward
solution Of the tuberculosis problem.
This research committee, has con-
Quoted work since 1922, employing
university laboratories in various parts
of the country. This makes possible
the selection Of outstanding men In
the several departments OF scientific
knowledge to supervise laboratory
workers. DR.. Edward Livingston Tru-
deau, the first president of the Ma
tional tuberculosis Association, once
said that anything which would kill
the germ would also kill its host, and
so far this has proved to be true.
More than 10000 persons die from
tuberculosis in the United States eacl,
year, although only one person dies
today for three who died In 1882
when the germ was first discovered.
in the State of Washington, re-
search on tuberculosis is being con-
Quoted by the Alice MeDcrmott
Foundation at the University al
Seattle. This work has been in prog.
ress for six years and number OF
scientific papers have already beer
published as result"

MRS. /, 5. BrALL, SIR, moNoRED


What happy results a kind remem-
brance may bring, was eXemplified on
Sunday afternoon, April 10th, at the
home OF Mrs. l.. G, Beall, Sr,, when
she was the hostess to a group of
local d, A, r., women through cir
cumstance made possible by her
friendship with Mrs. George Goebel,
of Spokane, Wash,
A few days ago, Mrs, Bealls Sind
year dawned, she had been IN Van
couver, WASH, to state conference OF
the d, A, r., herself a member of the
State Board. There she met again,
Mrs. Fannie Goebel, past State
Regent and dear friend When the
! state convention was held in Spokane
two years ago, Mrs, Goebel arose at
a, m. and baked surprise birthday
cake for Madame Beall's s0th birth
day, which was fittingly honored that
night at the Davenport Hotel. Re
Numbering this years approaching an
niversary, Mrs. Goebel baked another
birthday cake, which she sent by
parcels post, addressed to. Mrs. II. A.
Stanley, that the cake might be taken
to Madame Beall as surprise and in
time so that ladies who were present
at Saturdays d. A. r. meeting might
also partake of it.
(, Unfortunately it did not reach Mrs
Stanley in time for this event, SO q
special party was arranged by Madame
Beall who shared her charming gift
with several others specially mentioned
by Mrs. Goebel in her delightful letter
accompanying the cake.
| AT a lace draped table, on Sunday
afternoon, there gathered in Madame
Beall's home, Mesdames Kate Forbes
Miss Parker, DR.. Nell Parker Jones
Mrs. H. A. Stanley and Miss Stanley
Mrs. o. H. Lincoln, Miss Lulu Mead

THE IRISH LAND
PAYMENT QUESTION

Washington, d. C.-Relations be-
tween England and Ireland remain
grave because of the threat of the De
Valera government of the Irish Free
State to renounce the oath of allegi-
ance to the crown as well as the land
annuities paid to the English Govern
ment 1t is stated that Dominion
Secretary j. H. Thomas, acting for the
British Empire, will stand firmly on
the terms of the Anglo-Irish Treaty
but with dignity and patience.
The issue between the two govern
ments is remnant of the old "ab-
sentee landlord" question which was
settled in 1885 when the British Gov
eminent passed what was called the
great land purchase act. This act
provided that when landlord and
tenant agreed upon purchase price
Of landlords interest in a parcel of
land the government would advance
the money to finance the transaction
The terms of payment to the British
Government for its loan to the pur-
chaser were so much annually over a
definite number of years. They were
based upon so many years rental,
usually eighteen years. If a farm rent
ed for $3.50 per year the purchase price
would be $4,000, which the British
Government paid and received back
from the purchaser in annual install
ments of per cent.
1t is the agreement carrying these
annuities which it is understood the
Irish Free State will formally re-
nounce.
Land stock which was floated years
ago by the government to pay for
these farms is still quoted on the Lon
don Stock Exchange.
1t is pointed out that the oath above
referred to is an oath of faithfulness
to the head Of a confederacy of states
and not an oath to the King of the
British Empire as such. The states
embrace Great Britain, Canada, South
Africa, Australia, New Zealand and
the Irish Free States.
The question involves, according to
the announced program of the presi-
dent of the Irish Free State;
Il. Union of those Ulster counties
which are still under Great Britain
with the Irish Free State
20. Removal of the oath OF allegi-
ance to King George at the next ses-
sion of the Dali, April 20.
"3. Refusal to pay land annuities
to Great Britain, and demand for
the restoration Of the $l5o0o0oo0 al
ready paid

America should show as much
federation for mediocrity among
American composers as it shows
for mediocrity among Europeans,
Deems Taylor told the conven.
ton of the Music Teachers Ma.
tional Association at the Hotel
Washington today.
Most conductors Of American
symphony orchestras, he said,
are Europeans. He did not
quarrel with that because they
know their business. But the
new compositions they offer are
by composers Of their own coun-
tries, for the most part, because
they are familiar with that
music and it sounds good to
them.
Consequently, a great deal of
thrash is performed on symphonic
programs, all Of European origin.
while American music, even of
second and third rate standing,
cannot get a hearing.
He pointed out that unlike
European countries, Americans do
not constitute a race; America is
rather more like a club. We have
no folk music because we are not
a race and do not react to the
racial stimuli. Indian, negro,
cowboy and mountaineer folk
music has been sought as a basis
The Washington times., 1932-12-30
Encouragement Great Need
OF American Music

Of American music, all vainly; the
mountaineer type perhaps comes
closest.
Parenthetically he interpoSed
the remark that we have peasant
minds in this country, and that
many of them run the Govern
ment, but are not recognized be-
cause they wear top hats.
With other critics, Taylor laid,
he had been misled into thinking
that jazz was the American mus
ical idiom. Jazz has a quality
that is twpically American, he
said, but it is now clear that Il
is not the solution. If we are to
have American music, composers
must express themselves in music,
hoping that the people generally
will react to their ideas.
Walter Damrosch, discussing
radio as ar aid to musical educa-
ton, urged that children be en-.
couraged to play some musical
instrument, and repeated his
warning against giving them
ultra-modernist music before they
are familiar with the classics.
Peter Dykema discussed musi-
cal fraternities and sororities,
and George A. Wedge spoke on
theory in musical education.
The convention closes today
with a concert by Washington
composers at the Phillips Me-
mortal Gallery.

PHILHARMONIC
TOENDLOCA[
CONCERTS

Tuesday, January "a, when the
New York Philharmonic-Sym-
pnony Orchestra plays in Wash
ington at Constitution Hall under
the direction of Bruno Walter,
with Walter GieSeking as piano
soloist, will mark the next to the
1sat appearance of the world
famous organization in this city.
On March 7 the orchestra,
under the baton of Toscanini,
will give it's farewell concert in
washington. The January pro
gram will be music lovers last
chance to hear Bruno Walter
here. The concerts are under
the management Of T. Arthur
Smith Bureau.
Explaining the reasons for the
discontinuance of the washing
ton series, given regularly every
season since 1925.26, Arthur Juds
son. manager of the Philhar-
monic- Symphony of New York,
said:
"It is with deep regret that
the board of directors has de-
cided to eliminate its annual
visits to Washington from its
schedule. but touring has be-
come too expensive. 1t costs
approximately $1,000 for each
concert and the overhead in
these times is excessive. Be.
sides, the PhilharmOnic-Sym-
phOny is now the only perna-
nent orchestra in New York
and the demand for more and
more concerts in its own city
has become greater with the
increasing interest in symphonic
music. In order to fill this
public need all Of our out-Of-
town concerts have been given
up and the dates thus made
available replaced by additional
performances in New York
city"
The Philharmonic Symphony
Orchestra, the second oldest in
the world, is now in the ninety
first year Of its existence. The
JanuarJ "a concert will be the two
hundred and fortieth in the his
tory of the orchestra, and the
twenty-fourth it has given in
Washington since the regular
series has been established.
Geiseking will play Schumann's A
Minor Concerto. The rest of the
program here has not been an
nounced.
! The National Symphony Or
chestra's first concert of the new
year will be held on January 10,
with the Russian pianist, Vladimir
Horowitz, as soloist.
The 1888 portion Of the sym.
phony'S season will feature seV-
eral illustrious artists, including
Mischa Levitski pianist, and two
renowned violinists. Mischa Elman
and Washington's own Sylvia
Lent.
It is also possible that Frank
Gittelson, concert master of the
symphony, will appear as soloiSt.
Another music treat is in store in
the scheduled appearance Of Mar
Gel Tabuteau, famous oboist and
oboist of the Philadelphia Sym
phony Orchestra. Tahuteau is
called by many the leader in his
field. ~
The next young peoples con-
cert of the National Symphony
will be presented at Central High
School at II a. m. on Saturday,
January IA.
Conductor Kinder has been
invited to direct in an outstand-
ing series of concerts inaugurated
by Frank Black, new musical
director of the National Broad
casting Company. Besides Kind
Ter, Eugene Ormandy, conductor
of the Minneapolis Symphony,
and Essay DobroWen guest con-
ductor of the New York Phil
harmonic who was heard in
Washington recently, will con-
duct in this series.
The date of DR.. KindlerS ap-
pearance on the air has not been
definitely set.
