Stevens 19, Finds ''Jerker" Job Affords Funds
to Garry on Music Studies as Highly
Praised Compositions Await Buyers
EVERETT STEVENS

Mrs. Charles Riordan, and Mrs.
Frank B. Keyes.
Out in his home, 1900 block
Sixteenth st. N. W., the young
musician practices two and three
hours every day. Part of the day
he allots to composing new pieces.
He would like to sell some of
his compositions to defray current
expenses-and also to pay the last
few installments on his piano, he
said today.
Manifests Modesty
No frillS or eccentricities of
genius can be found sprouting
from this blooming musician. He
says anybody could play and COM
pose-if they worked hard enough.
He mipimiZes his own musical tai
ents and says that success along
musical lines at least is "nine-
tenths work and one-tenth abil-
ity."
Stevens wants, among other
things, to be an orchestra leader,
"as good as Stokowski. if possible" 4"
and it is with this goal in mind
that he is working these days.
He has little time for amuse-
ment now-for what with working
at his music and going to Balti-
more each day, his "a hours are
overcrowded. But the days of fun
and ease will come later, he said
today,

II Everett Stevens can jerk an
audiences emotions with the
same facility he jerks sodas,
Washingtonians can look forward
to some thrills.
While the summer time means
swimming and golf for his friends,
it means chocolate frappes and
Sizing sodas for the 19-year-old
pianist who last night gave the
first public recital Of his own
compositions in the club room of
the American Pen Women, 100
block L st. N. w.
Not that Everett eats and
drinks the frappes and sodas-he
dispenses them. That's how he
makes sufficient money to pay
his expenses at, the Peabody Con-
servatory of Music.
He won a three-year scholar
ship in the Baltimore institution
but even with that it takes
money for carfare and clothes
and books.
Player at Six
Bach and Beethoven might be
all right for study and practice,
but they do not offer enough to
Stevens who composes with as
much ease as he runs his deft fin
gers over the keyboard.
He started playing when he was
6 years old. Even then he strove
to express himself and his feelings
on the piano and while he learned
to play the works of the great ar
fists there was always a burning
desire to compose for himself.
Young Stevens was graduated
last February from Central High
School. He won the scholarship
to Peabody from a field of more
than 200 contestants.
Praised BY Great
No less an authority on music
than Nine. Natalia Rimsky-Korsa-
koff, niece of the great Russian
composer Tschaikowsky, said to-
day Stevens is one of the best
young pianists she has ever heard.
Nine. Rimsky-Korsakoff is so con"
vlnced that Stevens will some day
be an outstanding composer she,
with group of women from the
Pen Women, is sponsor
ing the young pianist.

DEALER
TEST URGED

Persons applying for liquor
dispensing permits should be re-
quired to produce evidence of
superior character, and if the
District liquor bill does not re-
quire it Representative Virginia
E. Jenckes (D) of Indiana will
bitterly oppose the entire meas
ure.
In explanation of her stand
she said today:
"The purpose of repeating
the Eighteenth Amendment was
to put the dispensing and use
Of liquor back upon a sound
moral basis.
THAT can be accomplished
only if the right to sell liquor
is given to persons whose char
acter is guarantee against
abuses. To place a person of
the criminal type behind a
liquor dispensing counter would
be to endanger the moral struc-
ture Of an entire community"
So important does she regard
this, Mr.. Jenckes said, that she
would fight the entire bill until
q character clause is inserted.
Neighborhoods, she a d d. d,
should be entitled to forbid the
sale of liquor within the limits
of their own community.

DR.. Vernon P. Scheidt

at rest rumors tina; the president
Cf the Annapolis school, DR..
Douglas Huntly Gordon, will not
hold tat office after the current
scholastic Jear and that a gen.
eral shake-up of the athletic
staff is in the offing.
DR. Vernon P. Ccheidt, class of
'29, requested the newly organ
lied alumni association to take
a hand in the matter when, he
said, the rumors have become so
widespread as to disturb both
the graduate and undergraduate
bodie
The stories are being circulated
by graduates, DR.. Scheidt said,
and the whole situation has "be-
come so cloudy that it should
be aired by some responsible or
ganiz' lion which can uncover
the truth. If an unhealthy
condition" is found, the associa-
tion should offer constructive
criticism for its improvement, the
latter stated.
Other rumorS besides the re-
ported departure of DR.. Gordon
are that the head coach is to
be replaced and the lacrosse
coach may be relieved. Reports
that the faculty and administra-
tion are not in sympathy and
that the student council is un-

NEW YORK, Dec. 25.-Re-

pecially in the large New York
stores, enjoyed a volume of bust
ness due to the holiday season

According to the trade reviews,

retail sales ran anywhere from
10 to 40 per cent above the totals
recorded in the same week of last
year.
While for the last few weeks
Of the holiday trade there had
been a sEong tendency on the
part of the buying public to lean
toward useful items, in the week
just ended the trend made a
marked shift, and luxury and
semi-luXury goods weer reported
in pretty good demand.

thorities, as prescribed for un-
der the master retail code are
set up Immediately in those com.
munities as yet without such or

retailers may forfeit the oppor-

steps after the first of the year
to supply the initiative for the

JOSEPH GAINES, M,D.E2.

Most e~ar-troubles are born anc
bred in the nasal passages. In these
intelligent days, parents are care,
full to take their children to the
capable doctor-to see about pos.
sible adenoids, tonsillar infections
and the like; it is good, sane pro-
cedure.
For back in the nostril, begins thu
little "eustachian tube" or canal
which leads from the outer air tt
the real inside of the ear-the mid.
die ear" Through this canal
germs find their way. Then alb.
scess of the ear may result-alway
dangerous to the hearing. I hate
to run up against a bullying ear
drum case of earache!
The nasal passages should b
kept clean, as far as possible; q
good nasal spray with a capable
aneiseptic solution-always selected
by your physician-should be kept
and used intelligently. I do not
recommend nasal douches-quan-
titles of fluid soused into the nose
which may actually force germs
into the eustachian canals, instead
of washing them all out! No othe,
than a specialist should force fluid
into and through the nasal passages,
One should, always be GENTLE
in applying self-treatment to the
air-passages of the head. I do not
believe in pinching the nose anc
"snorting" hard, to force air into
the ear-drums. 1t is a sure way Of
advancing the infection upward
it is laying the foundation for flu
rure trouble with the ears and
heading.
There is no xcuse for permitting
the little boy or girl to carry d
running nose" to school or where
sver they go. These days of nice
sprays should keep everything in or
der. Another caution: Don't re-
ly on the radio for your choice of
a%ntiseptics or treatments; ask your
physician, whose interest is in some
thing else than your pocketbook.
