Cossack Choir
Had Origin in
War Aftermath
Singers Who Will Appear
at EngliSh'S Nov. Is Led
Soldiers.

The Don Cossacks have returned
for their fifth American tour this
season. They will be heard at Eng
liShs Sunday afternoon, Nov. 10, in
the second Of the Martens Concerts
series.
This remarkable singing OrganiZa-
ton opened its tour in Montreal,
where 1000 were turned away I'M
able to obtain even admission.
The leader, Serge JarOff, is
dynamic little man whose control of
his men is extraordinary. He needs
no baton to beat time in the con-
ventiOnal sense, but plays upon his
chorus as upon a mighty orchestra.
A motion of the hand toward the
BASES brings forth a tremendous
climax of sound as from so many
tubaS under heavy pressure wind;
2 turn to the tenor section, and with
niger on lip, he draws from them
iolin pianimissimi that die to a
iere whisper.
The history of the Don Cossack
chorus dates back to the World war.
During the cZariSt regime, the mem
oerS served as officers in the i'm
perial army.
With the defeat of Deniken's
troops, they were taken prisoners
and sent to the prison camp of

Tschelengir, in Turkey. Here, they
faced another enemy, the cholera
scourge. A mere handful survived.
Their future seemed indeed hope
less.
But for the Russian soul, where
there is life there is music. Although
despair may be in his soul, song
is on his lips. Into his native folk
melodies he pours all the suppressed
surge of emotions in his being.
That is what these men did now,
as they circled the campfire at
night. Among them was a young
man, Is, Serge Jaroff by name, who
before the war had been choir
director.
Impressed with the beauty of
The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1934-10-27

these unframed voices, he set to
work teaching his comrades and
molding them into a well-balanced
singing whole.
Several months later the men were
transferred to Sofia, upon the con-
sent of the Bulgarian government
to accept them in its quota of Rus
sian refugees.
Here, working in factories, or at
whatever they were able to do, the
men continued their singing. even
tually forming the choir of the Rus
sian embassy church.

TALLEST BUILDING

America. In fact, Il is the tallest
man-made object in the world. II Is
266 feet higher than the Eifrel tower
In Paris. Its s. floors OF Office space
rise 10 a height OF loss fect--12 feet
higher than the very tip of the
Chrysler building. It's nearest rival.
From that point the combination

Writer Sees Advantages
in Fingerprinting All

10 it are more sentimental than real.
Save FOR the fact that few finger
prints, other than those Of criminals,
are taken now, there would be and
could be no real feeling against the
plan; and once fingerprintlng was
made universal. this feeling would
swiftly disappear, since no stigma
could attach to the process.
II Is hardly necessary to point out
the great advantage TO the authori-
ties, including the police, of being
able 10 identify quickly and posi-.
lively every person with whom they
may have relations, whether those
persons are criminal suspects or not.
Police oGicers sometimes make seri-
Gus errors in identincatlons with
tragic consequences. as did the Los
Angeles caicer who, with the best OF
Intentions, swore out an insanity
complaint against a mother because
she would not accept n spurious
child rs her own.
Had this boys flngerprints been
on file, the woman would have been
spared n narrowing experience and
the officer n lawsuit which is still
source Of trouble after several years.
There IS. In fact, as much reason
for filing fingerprints Of every indl-
vidual In the country as for filing
birth certificates, and possibly more
utility. The keeping OF birth, death
and marriage records IS so common
place and so obviously reasonable
that no one ever objects to It. To
carry tho same Idea n few steps fur
ther and make the record complete
would add very much 10 its value.
As for photographs. no one objects
10 them when they appear on pass
ports, libelous as passport photo
graphs often are.
Not only the carrying Of identifl-
cation cards, but registration at
police Office OF every newcomer to
any community. Is required In vari-
Gus parts OF Europe. and universally
accepted without complaint. To be
sure. the expense to the average
American city OF registering all Wis
itors would be quite an Item. but
such registration is not an essential
part Of the plan and need not be
considered for the present.
AS an aid In the war on crime, uni
versal fingerprlntlng would be Of I'm
mense value That does not need TO
be argued. It would repay It's cost
many times over In the time saved

CHICAGO, April 30.-A new rec
ord high of $1,7OO,OOO,OOO in surplus
cash in member banks of the Fed
eral Reserve system was reached
during the week ended April 25, the
federal reserve board announced
late last week.
Gold stock also reached a new rec

addition, the treasury deposited $13,-
100000 in gold certificates, bringing

At the same time, while deposits
were piling up, reserve bank credit
in use declined 100000 and money
in circulation dropped $23000,000.
The board, just prior to announc-
ing the figures, made public state
ment that conditions may develop
when, in order to prevent a recur-
renee of speculation excuses, it will
become important for the central
system to be in a position to rapidly
absorb the excess reserves.
