CARAVAN CONCERT

| A RECITAL deserving attention for
its originality was the Caravan
Concert" given Saturday evening by
Alix Young Maruchess, in the home of
Mrs. George H. Myers, on street. 1t
was a concert exclusively of works for
viola d'amore. rarely played in these
days, and the viola, which is seldom
heard as solo instrument, both Of
which instruments Miss Maruchess has
made the subject of exhaustive study.
The lovely soft quality of the viola
d'amore and the viola require an 1ntl-
mate surroundings for an appreciation
of the variety OF delicate coloring they
can produce, and the music lovers gath
cred together for this concert listened
with delighted interest to music from
another century.
As introduction to the program. Miss
MarucheSS took a moment to speak OF
the viola d'amore and to point out its
variation from the violin form. She
explained its seven strings, and the
natural harmonics and easy arpeggios
that belong to it, its limitations and
its expressiveness. All Of this was i'm
numbers that followed-"Andante and
Minuet," Milandre; "Serenade de
IAmant JalouX," Gretry, and Tam
bourin." by GosSec. In the "Serenade"
and "Tambourin'' and the "Minuet" of
the second group for viola d'amore. the
faint tinnineSs of the sound was like an
ancient bell Ginning in another century.
The second group was for viola and
the fullnesS and depth Of tone YVES a
marked contrast to that of its moro
delicate sister. Miss Maruchess played
Bach's "Komm' 'suesser Tod" with sus-
tanned impresSiveness that seemed to
linger even after the lively measures of
the Allegro from Haendel's Con
certo in B Minor" This last, together
Marais. La Matelotte" and 'Le
Basque" showed the deftness of her
finger agility and the firmness of her
| bowling Her complete mastery of both
instruments is founded on a modern
technical base and her fine musician
ship is an accurate guide for this classic
Interpretation. The third group again
displayed the delicate charm of the
viola damOre and its wide range, from
the "Plaisir d'amour" of Martini and
"Pastorale" of Rust to the arpeggio
laden "Polonaise" by Milandre.
To prove its survival and present-day
effectiveness. the viola finished the pro-

WASHINGTON, May 23.-In these hectic days of retrenchment in the House of Congress the treatment of the War Department appropriation bil Illustrates how the ruthless slash ing is done. The bill as finally passed and sent to the Senate carries a grand total in appropriations of S392,775,237. This is reduction of $52,997, ,998 compared with the 1882 appropriations, and less by $18,588,- 525 than was recommended by the Budget Bureau. To this depreciation Alaska contributed over $450,000, in 4 the appropriation for the Alaska Road , Commission, which was $800,OOO in 1882. For 1888 the Budget recom- mended $650,310, but the appropria- tion committee, reporting the bill, cut the figures to $354,310, which was finally adopted by the House.
 When the item was to be consid- cred Delegate Wickersham moved to amend and increase the appropriation to $650, ,31O, making lengthy talk on behalf of the necessity for the ia- creased sum. When the amendment was put it was defeated by vote of 25 ayes and 43 nays. MT .McDuffie, of Alabama, chairman of the economy committee, then sought to entirely eliminate the appropriation for the Alaska Road Commission. He moved as an amendment the elimination of the entire paragraph providing for the appropriation. After debate the amendment was defeated by the close vote of 50 ayes and 56 nays.
 Delegate Wickersham had printed in the Congressional Record lengthy statistical record showing the trade value of Alaska to the United States, and in the debate. figures from this

built up around President Hoover four years ago is undergoing altera- tions. The revised 1882 model will be rolled off of the assembly line during the Republican national convention this week. President Hoover will be presented to the country as the only world statesman who has taken a constructive lead in dealing with the greatest depression of all time. He will be pictured as having resisted all nostrums and fantastic schemes. An attempt will be made to represent him as safe and sane and set him against background of Democratic policies which Republicans will de- scribe as unsound economically.
 WASHINGTON.-President Hoover had been converted to the idea of a plank in the Republican platform re- submitting the question of the 18th amendment to vote of the people, but he is. firmly opposed to a plank recommending the repeal of prohibi- tion, it was learned tonight. It is stated on unimpeachable authority in Administration circles that the Pres ident will run for reelection on a re- submission plank, if one is adopted at Chicago. The President feels, how ever, it is stated, that the fight now rests between advocates of a repeal of the amendment and those favoring resubmission of the question.
