Yet the reports that are being COM
piled at the end of this third season
contain material that will make STIR
ring reading SO years from now. when
the story of the National Symphony
Orchestra is told again. Through the
plain account of the work accomp-
llShed and the balanced figures runs
the thread of romance as thrilling as
any Crusaders tale, when detached
from the matter-of-fact details that
flrSt focus the attention. 1t is story
of an ideal, a quest for beauty, a de-
sire for the Intangible but life-giving
food for the spiritual mind. Told as
a troubadour'S tale of the middle ages,
the story would have all the material
for romantic reading, but a. part of
modern life, too close for us to be
conscious of this angle, it resolves it
self into an accurate account Of the
dollars and cents invested in the ad-
venture unless we look further.
1t is not fair that the romance of
what is being accomplished should be
hidden behind the struggle to succeed
and left to another generation to dis
cover. 1t should be the inspiring
thought that takes the edge off the
hardShips encountered and lightens
the burden to be borne 1t should be
the thrilling consciousness that spurs
on to greater endealor AMI carries a
reward by adding a measure of ro-
nance to the pressing problems of
finance
The foundation of the National
Symphony Orchestra is the outcome
of the idealistic dreams of few cour-
ageouS people. 1t is the result of the
sure knowledge born of experience
that good music is necessary to combat
the sordidness of everyday life and
necessary to future generations if a
national life is to be built upon rock
and not upon sand. 1t requires cour-
age to express an ideal and to fight
for it. This the founders of the Ma
tional Symphony have done, and they
have preached the gospel of their faith
to the unbelieving There is not much
difference between those who battle
to establish music in materially in
clined world and the great reformers
and pilgrims who were willing to
suffer in order that their religious
convictions could assume a prominent
place in both governmental and pri-
vate planning,
When a guarantee fund was es-
tablished. in 1881. 81 people contrib
uted. With the small amount assured
a group of fairly inexperienced musi-
cal recruits were gotten together to
form an orchestra. Many of these
men had had little acquaintance with
the great symphonies either as listen
ers or performers. They were not ac-
customed to playing together, to the
accuracy required of an orchestral
performance or to the bigness of the
interpretative ideas they were to ex-
press. Yet under the inspiration of
Hans Kindler's artistic knowledge and
dynamic personality, they gave cred
liable performances.
The second year brought 4O2 sub
scribers to the fund. People began to
discover that music had something
worth while to give and that, with a
local orchestra, it could be within
the reach of every one at small cost

BOSTON MAY BUY
 ELEVATED ROAD
Majority of Committee Voted to Purchase It for
 $lOO,OOO,OOO

Boston, Jan 5.-(UP)-Estima ing that it would result in annual savings of $1,000,000 to $2,000,000, @ special committee of the Massa- chusets legislature to-day recom- mended outright public ownership of the $100,000,O00 Boston elevated railway system, now under public control and private ownership with 5 per cent dividends guaranteed to stockholders.
 The vote in favor of public own- ership was to 8, indicating a stormy greeting for the proposal in the legislature. Three demo- crats, Senator Warren, Lawrence, Reps Welsh and Lee, Boston, and one republican, Sen Hughes, Dan vers, favored purchase of the road. Three republicans, Reps Kimball, Maiden, Bigelow, Brookline, and Gott, Arlington, opposed any change because of the great amount of money involved and the uncertainty of financial conditions at the present time." The dis senters did not pass on the merits of public ownership as such.
 The majority recommended im- mediate exercise of the option con- tained in the public control act of 1918, giving the commonwealth the right to purchase the road. It would have the cities and towns served by the railway float a bond issue of approximately $23,O0O,OOO to redeem the roads 238,794 shares of common stock at the estimated present option price of $95 per share. In purchasing the road the public would take over net liabilities which on August l, 1883, totaled $98,267,148.

BUILDING AID
 TO NEW DEAL
Revival of Industry Rene. fits Thousands In=
 directly

Chicago - (UP) Unemploy- ment and the slump in building construction go hand-in-hand, ac- cording to A. F. Dickinson, mid western building executive.
 Revival of the general building industry, with its widespread in- fluence on allied industries, would be the greatest single stimulant to national business, Dickinson be- lieves.
 More than S.OOO,OOO people. |" he said, ''are directly dependent on new building activity, while other thousands benefit indi- rectly."
 In the four years preceding the depression, new buildings con- structed had a value of $27,917.- 073,O46, while the total for the past four years has dropped to approximately $14,087,000,0O0. This year, the lowest total of the four was reached with only IS per- cent of normal construction as- tivity functioning. It is no CO., incidence, Dickinson says, that the peak in unemployment also was reached this year.
 In 1929, the last large building year. 4.500.000 persons, directly and indirectly dependent on new construction requirements, wero paid $7,000.000. At that time one of every ten gainfully employed derived his income from the build ing industry.

 ASK FOR PAROLE
Would Free Robert Stroud Mother Is Against
 Freedom

Kansas City, Mo-, Jan. 5-(UP) Bird fanciers all through the United States circulated a petition today asking parole for Robert Stroud, who has been doing some mighty fine things for canaries lately.
 Just now Stroud is in solitary confinement in Leavenworth Fed eraI prison, and has been for the last 17 years.
 Under a special ruling Stroud was allowed to raise canaries. He began solling them all over the United States. Bird fanciers liked them so much that they thought he should be freed.
 In this the bird fanciers will lack the cooperation of tho convicted slayer's mother, Mrs Elizabeth Stroud. who 0nco prevailed upon President Wilson to commute her sons sentence from death by hang ing. ..
 "He is better off where he is." Mrs stroud said.
 Stroud, n wo44, was sent to Me- Neil island federal prison when he was tS for murderlng his rival for tho l0vo of n Juneau dance hall girl. Ho was transferred 10 l,onv- enworth after stabblng fellow inmate.
