Recital Given by
Kaspar Violin Pupils.

A N unusually interesting program,
entirely of violin music, was given
last evening by the members of the
artist cass of Josef Kaspar in his
studio, on M street. There was va
riety in the compositions chosen for
the solo numbers, and two numbers
were for four violins, giving well
come change among so many solos,
each by a different player. The en-
semble numbers, played by Mary
Park Clements. Ethel Hicks, Julia
Robertson and Mr.. Kaspar, were
well done in tone, precision and
shading
Oscar Levine. who closed the pro-
gram with two movements from the
Brush concerto, was perhaps the
most popular of the soloists, and he
played with splendid tone the bril-
liant cadenzas, trills and difficult
double stops.
Jean Westbrook, who preceded him
on the program, played two numbers,
Gluck's 'Melodie," arranged for vio-
lin by Kreisler, to which she gave
a musicianly Interpretation, and
Pugnani's "Preludium and Allegro"
in which she showed breadth and
ease in the intricate passages.
The three other soloistS were Julia

EXPLORER TELLS
Of STRANGE BIRDS
Ernest G. Holt Describes Ex-
petition on BraziI-Vene-
zueIa Boundary.

A paradise for students and lovers Of
birds exists along the Brazil-Venezuela
boundary in Northern South America,
Ernest @. Holt told members of the Ma
tional Geographic Society last night in
an illustrated address at the Washing
ton Auditorium. Mr.. Holt led an expe-
dition for the society to the region in
1881 and brought back a collection OF
more than 5000 specimens of birds,
many rare and some believed 10 De
wholly new to science.
Mr.. Holt showed colored lantern
slides of gorgeously feathered and un-
usual birds. The most striking was the
Cock of the Rock. the size OF small
crow and of a vivid flame color from
bill to tail To his mind; the speaker
said, it is the most beautiful bird IN the
world.
Bird With Climbing Thumbs"
The most unusual feathered creatures
pictured included the hoatzin, bird
with climbing thumbs" on its wings
when young; very small specimens with
abnorrnally long bills, and orioles that
weave nests feet long. The tiny man
ikin might be called the gigolo bird,
the males dance before groups of adj
miring females.
included the capuchin or bald-headed
calf-bird. which has a hoarse cry like
that of a calf; the smallest woodpecker
in the world, smaller than many hum
ming birds; the smallest Anic-i;c;.:. e king
fisher. of less bulk than house wren,
which has fprsaken the fishing ways
of the kinghsher tribe and lives wholly
upon insects: jacamars, shaped like
giant humming birds, and cotingas,
highly colored creatures with extra wing
feathers which hum as they fly. One
outstanding member of the collection is
Heilprin's jay, very rare bird, of which
only two specimens have so far been
recorded, one in a collection in Phila-
delphia and one in Europe.
Joined Boundary Commission.
BY special permission RI Holt and
his assistants Travelled for three months
with the Brazil Venezuela Boundary
Commission and was enabled to pene-
trate some areas not before traversed
by scientists. The scientific collections
brought back to Washington have been
presented by the National Geographic
Society to the National Museum.
Mr.. Holt found the region near the
boundary sparsely settled with natives
and with only handful of whites,
chiefly traders in balata a kind of rub
ber Native tribes were observed eating
monkeys, alligators, alligator eggs, par
rots, wild cats and the winged forms of
Ieaf-cutting ants. The Americans found
that the monkey meat and parrots made
pleasant addition to their menus One
experiment with fried ants and ALI
gator meat, however, was reported to
be enough.

HELPING ALASKA

Maybe are dense to the point but it is diff fcult to reconcile the repeated of various Chambers of Commerce in the States that they wish to assist Alaska with the attitude the members of the ganizations take respecting Investments
 Unfortunately all efforts have hitherto been directed to Alaskas political affairs This has it's merits in bring ing the power Of the Senators and Representatives of these States to bear in shaping favorable legislation and is something to be desired.
 But why stress political interest when there lar ger question: This is economic development which if ried to success will have salutary effect upon trade than any political action aside from emancipation from conservation.
 What Alaska needs most is investing capital with which to open her mines and other industries Until this IS forthcoming those displaying interest in her affairs cannot hope to increase their volume of trade
 With respect to political acon it is as vital to the Pacific Coast States that Alaska have square deal as it IS to Alaska Unless this there can be no advance
 It is altogether possible that too much political ac on wherein conflicting opinions bound to occur has tendency to create chaos and confusion in Washington
 Any political action should originate in Alaska itself and sound should have the backing of the entire Pacific Coast Otherwise will witness various sections mpor tuning Washington for legislation which is bound to awaken sectional jealousies and get nowhere
 Let these rich States bring their capital to Alaska create industry and population and she take care of all other matters
