Fun military honors will be ac- corded Jules Aquenette, nationally known World War hero who died af st. Mary's hospital late Tuesday night following a brief illness, it was announced at the office of the Waterbury Veterans Bureau today. Only immediate relatives and close friends will attend the services, which will be held at the chapel at Noroton, and at which Waterbury soldiers at the Noroton home will act as guard of honor.
 Known throughout the country as the Belgian Rose", AquenetteA was one of the outstanding indi- yidual figures of the big conflict, A native of Belgium, he came to this country as eboy of 17 and had been here only a short time when war was declared.
 He enlisted in the Belgian army at Paris, August, 1914. and was assigned to the 9th Division, 11th Battalion, Pioneer Engineers where he server as corporal with the sec ond company for the duration of

 The change will become effective as soon as the recommendation of the inspectors. decided on after the conference this morning, are ap- proved by heads of the post office department at Washington. There will be no opposition. The inspectors told The Demo- crat this morning that consolida- ton of rural routes has been a practice since 1924 as both an economy and an efficiency measure. The regular routes were laid out in the days of horse drawn vehi- cles and a great deal more dis- tance can be covered now by the carriers in motor cars. The regu- lar old route, "A miles, is consid- cred too short for the rural car- rier of today. Lengthening of the routes means more pay for each of the carriers.
 Mileage Cut Down
 Mileage on the city's rural routes will be cut down, when the change becomes effective, from 130 miles to about 123 or 124 miles. Four carriers, officials say. can cover this distance effectively and thoroughly.
 The inspectors likewise pointed out this morning that number of residents now on rural routes could receive regular city delivery if their sections had improvements such as sidewalks. Lack of these makes 1t too dangerous to send a regular carrier over such route.

Man Behind the Mills

New York, Sept 6-(UP)- George A. Sloan keeps in touch with the nation wide textile strike situation by dashing from one room at the Cotton-T Insti- tute to another, answering any body's telephone, reading piles of telegrams, and participating Tn dozens of conferences.
 As president of the institute and chairman of the cotton textile code authority he speaks for more than 1900 mill owners. It keeps him busy more hours a day than his code permits.
 Sloan is tall--some inches over six feet--and athletic. His hair is gray, his voice soft. His clothing is carefully tailored; he favors fig ured cravats.
 He dashes into a press confer ence. Hair bit mussed, sits down at the head of long table and smiles.
 Sorry I'm late" he apologies. 'but I had to sneak out of another meeting to get here"
 He answers all questions prompt iy and with candor.
 Sloan, born in Nashville on May 30, 1893, traces his ancestry 10 Thomas Sloan, who did his part in the American Revolution. An in- dustrialist in the southern city, he helped found the textile institute, became it's sercetary in 1926. Three years later he was elected presi- dent. In the same year he married Florence Lincoln. divorced wife of William A. Rockefeller.

 Tho question is how far mob action of the minority will force the mills to close" said George A. Sloan, chairman of the cotton code authority. This is an issue for the American public to consider"
 German Is Scoffcr
 German scoffed at these charges. He said the workers left their jobs because they were tired of being exploited. He said they were trying to strike peacefully. He charged that management and reaction ary" public officials were rcspons- ible for whatever violence there was.
 He issued new set of confiden- tial instructions to his flying squad rons of strike organizers. At almost every paragraph were these words in capital letters:
 "The strike goes on!"
 German said there could be no end to the walkout until the textile industry signs a contract contain ing these seven clauses:
 l. Recognition of the United Textile Workers of America as the only bargaining agency for labor.
 2. Reduction of working hours frnn1 Al tn n nor wAak.
 3. Establishment of wage scales and machine load limits yet to be determined.
 4. Promise by the industry not to interfere with union activities.
 s. Organization of a mediation board to settle future disputes.
 6. Promise by labor and capital to call no strikes nor lockouts dur ing the life of the agreement.

Now the music OF both appears on
our program of today, peacefully,
side by side. And that is what counts.
The overture to the "Abenceragen"
was written for the opera of the
same name In this opera the struggle
between two reigning Moorish fam
lilies in fifteenth century Spain is de-
scribed, though it is pure music" in
the full sense of the word TO our
present-day standards.
symphony No. in E Minor"
(from the New World") Dvorak
The New World" symphony is un-
doubtedly the greatest work that
Dvorak, the national musical genius
Of Bohemia, ever composed.
The symphonic form demands lit
orally everything Of composer. 1t
demands inspiration, melodic and
harmonic, and the ability to use and
to vary and to build up this material
into a great entity. Balance, control,
reserve are necessary so as to build
the work up to its climax. And the
four movements, of which a SYM
phony usually consists, must be con-
trasting so as to avoid monotony.
Besides all this, the composer must
have a complete knowledge OF all the
instruments in the orchestra, so that
he can write well for each of them.
He must also know which combina-
tions of instruments sound well to-
gether, which best express his moods,
and which are to be avoided.
The more we think about 1t, the
more astonishing it seems that the
little butcher boy from Bohemia. with
out much opportunity for learning
music, should, by sheer instinct
nearly, have come to the point where
he controlled all the difficulties
which we have just mentioned and
arrived at writing one of the worlds
greatest symphonies; work that will
always appeal, not only to the mu-
sically elect, but to the masses as well,
and still will be great and enduring
work of art. The reason is-itS fine,
folklike quality, its wonderful song
like melodies and rhythms. Dvorak
was son Of the people and remained
Just that, all his life, even at the
time of his greatest fame.
No wonder that, with his enthus-
iasm for folk songs and rhythms, the
Negro tunes and the syncopated
rhythms of America should fascinate
him. And that is one Of the fine quail
tiles of the New World" symphony;
folk idiom is there.
But there is something greater still.
There is the quality of the vastness
of America, Of the long stretches OF

prairie, of the lovelineSs of a warm
Summer night under the stars, OF the
fragrance of semi-tropical flowers, Of
the spirit Of generous freedom and Of
gay adventure. He caught that spirit
like the genius he was, and that Is
what makes this work lastingly great.
If you have never thought yourself
capable Of appreciating symphonic
music. if you thought it "highbrow"
or "above your taste" listen to this
work and realize how great, really
great man can speak to all of us and
convince, with the same language,
each of us in his own way.
Suite, Ma Mere iOye" Ravel
The Ravel work, Mother Goose"
speaks for itself, suite Of five fairy
tales: Cd "Pavane (old stately dance
of the fourteenth century, of the
Sleeping Beauty" (2) Hop O. My
Thumb" 90 "Laideronnette," a Chi
nese fancy; "a Beauty and the
Beast" (5) "The Fairy Garden" 1t
shows Ravel at his finest and best.
Each of these gems is characteristic
of its title, superbly orchestrated by
the greatest master of the orchestra
of today-the composer of "Bolero."
Rackoczy March from "Damnation Of
Faust" Berlioz
We will end the concert with the
"Rackoczy March," by Hector Berlioz.
Berlioz, the great nineteenth century
romanticist, inventor Of modern or
chestral Instrumentation as well as of
new musical ideas in general, wrote
the "RackocZy March" upon the oc-
caSion of guest conductorship in
Budapest. In one of his letters he
warmly defends his expedient for ex-
plotting the superb version of this
Hungarian anthem, which he had
written to thrill the patriots of the
nations capital He describes its ef-
feet upon the occasion of the first
performance:
when at last the orchestra hurled
forth the main theme fortissimo, the
concentrated excitement of the audi
ence exploded and the music was
drowned in the outburst of enthusi-
asm, the orchestral tempest being
quite incapable of contending with
the eruption of this irresistible vol
cano. 1t was a lucky thing for me
that I had placed the piece at the
end of the concert, for anything
played afterward would have been
entirely lost"
The stirring effect Of this vital
composition is as irresistible today as
it was when it was first heard, now
well nigh a hundred years ago.
