HEARS
-. GIT TTELSON
AS SOLO|ST
By RONALD THORNE

The final Sunday concert this
season of the National Symphony
orchestra proved perhaps the
most enjoyable of the entire
series. Made up largely of re-
quest numbers, it reflected in con-
sequence the musical interests Of
the Washington public, and Con-
Stitution Hall was filled yesterday
with an eager and enthusiastic
audience.
Many persons have expressed
the view that the Sunday con-
certs chould not be discontinued
so early. These concerts are of
a distinctly popular nature, and
Sunday afternoon is a convenient
time to "ttend them. Inasmuch
as the famous pops" Of the Bos-
ton Symphony do not begin until
April 19, and run continuously
until July 4, there seems to be
ample precedent for continuing
the local concerts until a later
date.
OF special interest TO- yester-
days audience was the appear
ance of the genial Frank Gittel-
son. concert master Of the Nation
al Symphony. as soloist. Gittel-
son chose the famous Bruch Con-
certo in G minor as a means OF
demonstrating his artistry, End
1T was an admirable selection.
This concerto is considered some
thing of a tour de force for vio-
QiniStS. and it has not been played
here in several seasons. 1t is
rightly esteemed among the finest
concertos ever written for this
instrument, and Gittelson, ably
supported by the orchestra, ave it
a brilliant and thrilling interpre-
tation.
The remainder of the program
was made up of thoroughly ia
miliar works-the "Meistersing-
er" overture, Schubert's "Unfin-
ishei Symphony" the seconC:
moveme ent Of Tschaikowsky's
''Pathetique," and the once de-
bated but now generally accepted
''Bolero" of Ravel. The orchestra
rose to its maximum of effective
ness in this final number. Under
the fine direction of DR.. Hans
Kindler, it presented "Bolero" in
manner long to be remembered.

Pastor Sees People
End Indifference

Out of the present crisis will
come a greater public interest in
national affairs, lost in the past
few years, the Rev. J. Frederic
Wenchel, pastor of Christ Luth-
eran Church, declared in his SER
mon yesterday. 49,.
The present distress, he said. is
due. at least in part. to. the fact
that the people lost interest in
national affairs, neglected their
civic duties, and had no sense
of responsibility toward the Gov

thority. "The rest Of you haven't had
a chance to study him, but have. He
was very dangerous looking black

valet, Toison, gross and ignorant
man past middle age, with whom at
one time or other 7 visited all the
convenient brasseries. My father did
not concern himself about me. My
mother feared to show her solicitude,
in dread Of what happened little
later. She taught me to read; but my
lessons were irregular, since her time
was never her own and there was all
too little opportunity for her to de-
vote herself to me. You must under
stand that was not the only one who
thought her beautiful. My father was,
fiattered by the sensation she created
at social functions. Was she not one
Of his possessions? He thoroughly en-
joyed exhibiting her and gave an
amount of thought to her adornment
that she never did. There must have
been story to,explain their marriage.
What 1t was was too young to be
told. No doubt I was sadly neglect
ed child, but so long as maman and
could steal our moments together, /
was happy. The crisis came on their
return from fortnight's stay with
the Comte and Comtesse de Chatillon
at their chateau near Ruel Their two
sons, one older, one younger than i,
were both so far advanced beyond me
in education that my poor mother was
forced to face the fact that at last
some action must be taken for my
sake.
UNFORTUNATELY, she was 30 accus-
toned to count on my ready co-opera-
ton that she did not warn me Of her
purpose. We had finished our second
breakfast on the morning after their
return from this visit, had risen from
the table and moved out into small
salon in the sunny bow window Of
which my father used to sit and
smoke his long black cigars until the
hour came for his departure for the
club. When would have slipped
noiselessly from the room maman sig
nailed me to remain. She said:

HOT WATER MUST
BE GIVEN CHANCE
TO MOVE FREELY

Rambling noises In a farm water
system can usually be eliminated by
setting the water back or heating
element level in the kitchen range so
that the hottest water may circulate
freely instead Of being trapped and
converted into steam, which causes
the rumbling. says the bureau of ag-
ricultural engineering. United States
Department of Agriculture.
The water back usually is a hollow
iron casting, set in the kitchen-range
fire box opposite the oven. 1t has
two tappings-inlet and outlet-for
y or 1-inch pipe. The lower tapping
or inlet and the upper tapping or out
let are piped to low and high connec-
tons In the side of the hot -water sup
ply tank. The upper tapping should
be flush with the inside top of the
water back.
In furnace, the fire-box coil or
pipe should be either level or. prefer
ably. arranged to allow a continual
rise from cold-water inlet to hot-wa-
ter outlet. Often the circulation may
be improved by using larger or bet
ter-pitched hot-water pipe from the
coil or water back to the boiler.
Most noises in boilers and pipes
are caused by slow, air-b0und. or
ove-heated circulation. A hot fire
may intensity the rumbling in boil
er and pipe until it seems like a vio-
lent pounding. It is poor economy
to heat water faster than used at the
faucets Steam at faucets indicates
that the boiler water is above boiling
temperature and not that the boiler
is filled with steam. Faucets should
not be closed so quickly as to cause
the familiar pounding noise known
as water hammer.

but, If you decide you wish me to hear
1t. please begin at the beginning. I'm
a firm believer in the effect of ones
childhood on ones afterlife. Where
did you live when you were a little
boy?" she asked. seeking to lead him
to begin his story.
Il was born in Paris" Nesbit told
her after lighting her cigarette and his
own. my father was one of the lazy
rich. He'd never done a days work
Of any kind, but he loved to splurge
about where he could pass himself
off as one of the great American finan-
ciers. Then he was enjoying himself,
d-n his fat carcass. We followed the
fashions. That is, we had home Of
sort, magnificent but unhomelike, in
Paris; and were dragged about from
one watering place to another at my
fathers heels. He was popular. That
great fat lump Of man oozed wit,
laughter and good nature except in the
heart of his family.
II don't mean that my father was
brutal to my mother in the ordinary
sense of brutality. am certain there
was nothing Of which she could make
legal complaint. He practiced a re-
fined cruelty. What she liked-music
to give you one instance he professed
to be unable to endure, his nerves
would not permit it; and it was the
same with everything she cared for.
Perhaps 1t will set the case clearly be-
fore you If say very early in life

affection for her in his presence. She
never actually told me that we must.
conceal our love for each other; but,
when with him, her manner to me
was SO distant that took the cue and
repressed my natural exuberance.
When we were alone, which was not
SO often as she wished, we were happy,
and In those hours, snatched from
what recognized even then as a mis-
cradle existence, she devoted herself
to instilling in me sense Of patriot
ism, possibly with an intention of over
coming the handicap Of my foreign
birth. / must never forget that I was

When she spoke there was finality in
her words.
"You none Of you move with the

patton strange, although even there
I'd be forgiven the moment they
learned why wanted the money. My
only objection to having this city hear

that I might have imitators; and

"I've said before, and I say again,

''But, Smif dear, aren't you simply

wouldn't expect you to be making a
fortune yet. Only. what prospect is
there that you ever will?"
Lucy was interested in the answer
to her question, which was slow in
coming. Smif gathered up her gloves
and purse and paid the check as If she
had not heard. Then she rose.

''You're avoiding my question, Smif,"
said Louise, "and insist that It is en-

Of a reasonable return on what you

Nesbit would arrive and speculated
a little on his possible attire, smiling
at the thought of the effulgence of his
emeralds In the conservative reception
room of the Badminton.
Promptly at half past eight he was
announced from the Office and Smif
asked that he be sent up at once,
awaiting his coming with more than a
little curiosity. He entered, hat In

arm, In irreproachable dinner clothes
Leaving his outdoor things in the little
foyer. he came into the living room
with entire self-possession.
She decided that seen without the
distraction of the emeralds, he was
certainly not ordinary in type. Indeed
she rated him a very distinguished

"What sort Of crime do you want to

Smif asked crisply. Except for the
fact that you have evidently trifed

I'd take you for fairly harmless In
