World Of Music

The Russia Of old gave to the
world music that will live on de-
spite the downfall of the Car and
the Imperial government.
What will be the result on
Russian music of the revolution,
of the years of social experiment?
We shall soon have a partial
answer to this question, for early
in February Dmitri Shostakovitch's
opera Lady Macbeth of Mtzensk"
is to be presented in New York
under the auspices Of the League
of Composers.
This opera is the first of a pro-
jected series of four, depicting the
life of women in Russia. Lady
Macbeth" is laid in the period of
1840, depicting the suffering of
womanhood.
The second opera will be placed
in the Czarist period of 1860.
The third will depict woman dur
ing the revolution of 1917, and
the fourth will show woman under
modern conditions of the Soviet
government.
The music of this first opera
depicts the sufferings of the peo-
pie and eliminates with the
plight of the exiles in Siberia.
The Cleveland S y m p h n y
Orchestra under the direction of
Artur Rodsinski will present the
New York performance of The
opera.

three years, took off from Wash

The incident caused such COM

Employees Of otel Kerns have
been exonerated by a coroner's
jury of criminal negligence in
the fire which destroyed the
hotel the morning Of December

The report, however, criticized

Origin of the fire was not de-

torted by the impact of a mans
fist, and a yet larger cloud of
blue-hot matter is shot out, to
go spinning upward, never to

WORLDS ARE BORN
Another and far greater ocean
of fire sweeps aloft. Fiery
chaos approaches a pitch which
only cosmic forces can produce.
AS these unleashed powers
reach their zenith, the specta-
Gle becomes sublime; a super
world of hot matter is torn
from the Sun, goes crashing up
ward to the accompaniment Of
unimaginable climatic thunder.
How finite in contrast is the
fiery heaving Of a VeSuviuS!
AS the invader passes beyond,
the sun loses another, though
smaller, mass of blue-hot mat
ter. It's work of ruin done, the
strangers gravitational pull
draws out another, still smaller,
mountain Of incandescent ma.
terial. IntensitieS are diminish
ing. Nevertheless, two smaller
bodies shoot out to follow in the
challenger'S wake.
The encounter is finished.
Still, wisps of gas spout out,
some hurtling into space, some
falling back onto the sun itself.
Hundreds Of thousands Of
years pass. The glowing mon
Ster is far away, though remain
ing the brightest orb. Cosmic
ruin has its compenSationS, for
it is from the tortured body of
a sun that new worlds come, in
this case the planets in our
solar system. Each portion Of
glowing wreckage is spinning
within itself, travelling an orbit
around the sun.
Millions of years pass. The
small masses have spun them
selves into spheres. Still more
millions of years. The smaller
spheres have cooled.
The third out from the sun
has a special interest to you
and me. Except for gentle
drafts of air once in a while,
which we with our tiny strength
call hurricanes, peace and quiet
prevail. It has come to be a
lovely place, this third sphere.
It has green meadows, brooks
and majestic forests. It is our
earth.

own brief lives, we humans
measure time in centuries.
We say the first railroad was
built a century ago, the first
steam engine three centuries
ago. America has been diScov-
cred four and a half centuries.
Recorded history has been 10
centuries in the making. Three
thousand centuries ago man be-
came a reasoning creature, able
to make fire and fashion stone
tools. 1t was 10000 centuries
ago that primordial life came
into existence.
But what is this compared to
the unimaginable span of 20
million centuries, which is the
age of our Earth? Yet even this
is but an hour on the Cosmic
Clock.
Through the research of many
minds, We can now present a
picture of our Earth'S beginning.
We may visualize the ancestral
Sun spinning it's way through
tnterstellar space. The firma-
ment sparkles with stars. There
comes a time when one star
stands forth bigger and brighter
than the other. Countless cons
pass. This bright star has now
become a glowing sun. An in
telligence, if there had been one
present, would have understood
that a great wandering star
from the outer space was COM
ing in.
GREAT CONFLICT
This stranger approaches
closer. It's speed is thousands
OF miles a minute. Our an
cestral Sun, moving at a SIM
liar rate, speeds toward it. De-
spite this unthinkable rapidity
for such great bodies, still more
cons pass while the gap be-
tween them is disappearing.
OF time, there is plenty. And
so it comes to pass that the
two steely blue-hot giants all
but fill each others sky.
Then the gravitational at
traction of the encroaching
star swells, distorting the Suns
face. From the surface, as
though in mad fury, spout
great fountains of fire. The
oncoming star grows larger.
Supermountainous incandescent
masses heap up in colossal
tidal waves. Corresponding
tidal waves distort the face of
the invader.
All at once a great clot of
blue-hot vapors is expelled from
the Sun and goes hurtling
aloft, spinning and whirling
with incomprehensible confu-
sion. The ferocity of the spec
tacle has become transcendent.
Another enormous cleaning
cloud, millions of degrees hot,
is belched forth from Sun, to
60 spinning and whirling into
space. AS gravitational forces
increase, the cosmic cataclysm
wakes more intense. A third

The TranSients
To the Editor Of The Times:
I notice that Mr.. Arthur RoSi-
chan, who has been director
Of the local transient bureau
for some months, has re
signed" to take another job.
Maybe he resigned" but the
circumstances surrounding the
whole affair seem exceedingly
peculiar. His resignation fol-
lows an investigation made Of
the local transient bureau ad-
ministration, and the man who
conducted the investigation is
to be the new head Of the
local bureau.
OF course, there is no way
for the average citizen to de-
termine whether Mr.. Rosichan's
resignation" was voluntary or
forced, but, I repeat, the cir
cumStanceS do not make the
matter appear very wholesome.
Now, if Mr.. Rosichan's "resig-
nation" was virtually forced, it
evidently was the result of the
clamoring that has been going
on by a disgruntled group OF
the transients in the bureau,
who have been stirring up
trouble here for some time.
I do not know Mr.. Rosichan,
but I do know that if he was
ousted because of the COM
plants made by these local
transient trouble-makerS it was
an abominable outrage and an
un-American act.
I say this because, as a tax
payer, maintain that the tran
sients who made the complaints
about the local bureau admins
tration are not entitled to an
iota of consideration. They ap-
parently are just a crowd of
radicals, and their demands
should not have been given a
hearing.
