that time, one might well believe that
Strauss gagged the musical intellect
of his public with extraordinary skill.
The shocked sensibilities, the Of
Tended upholders of good taste and
the general uproar that followed the
first performance of "Salome" in
Dresden in 1905, with an echo In the
sudden attack of moral rectitude that
assailed the producers and auditors
In America, is now well known history.
When his next opera, Electra" was
announced to be in process of con-
struction, one writer said, "As his
forthcoming opera, Electra" has been
stated on good authority to contain
points that will offend or at least sur
prise the most hardened admirers of
'Salome,' there is no injustice in men
tioning this as the primary object Of
these compositions.
When, last Winter, Electra" was
announced for the Metropolitan Opera
in New York, one eminent reviewer
wrote in an editorial. ITO the New
York public that was first exposed to
Electra almost a quarter-century
ago by Oscar Hammerstein, the expe-
rience of sitting before this somber
and terrible music drama seemed like
an evening spent in a mad house with
the lights out and the maniacs loose
and uproarous. Critics may have
learned to view Electra from a some
what different point of view. but it
would be wildly fantastical to hope
that the general public attitude to-
ward the work has materially
changed"
The same reviewer wrote after the
Metropolitan performance: "Appar-
emily no one was outraged. A huge
audience sat through the long, un-
broken act with every indication OF
engrosSed attention and at the end
of the performance there was an ex-
traordinary scene of enthusiasm with
countless recalls for the singers and
their colleagues. Is it possible that
the terrible Electra has returned to
stay?"
So the vision of the man who also
wrote Tod und Verklarung," Don
Juan" and songs like "Morgen, "Traum
durch die Daemmerung," Itch TRACE
meme Mime" and "Staendchen, has
finally reached the present conscience
ness of the public His astonishing
knowledge of tone color, his ability
to find in musical terms the manner
OF telling story or painting a picture,
his uncanny orchestral sense and I'M
Outstanding Of harmonization, have
at last convinced the public that for
some nifty years, tomorrow, there has
been a great genius In our midst,
pursuing his convictions undisturbed
by either praise or disapproval.

SULTAN PLEDGES
SPEEDON MARKET
Tells Southwest Citizens e.
forts Being Made to Rush
Work on Mart.

Addressing the Southwest Citi-
zens' Association last night, at its
meeting in the Trial Board room of
the fourth precinct, Col. Dan I. Sui
tan, Engineer Commissioner, assured
the association that every effort is
being made to construct contracted
work on the farmers market, at Tenth
and F streets southwest.
Col. Sultan said the children's hos
pital, at Glenn Dale, and the farm
ers' market were the first two prof.
ectS on the District construction list
for completion. He said the work
on the Jefferson Junior High School,
delayed over year due to the in
ability Of officials to decide on site,
would be started as soon as possible.
Water Front Work Discussed.
Construction work on the water
front, which Col. Sultan said was a
vital issue to Southwest citizens, can
not exceed present capacities until
an appropriation is inserted in a con-
gressional rivers and harbors bill, he
said.
Harry S. Wender introduced a reso-
luton indorsing the Federation of
Citizens Associations plan to form
vigilance committees to aid police.
The resolution, unanimously adopted,
commended Capt. jeremiah A. sullivan
and Maj. Ernest w. Brown for the
splendid work they have done
with the shamefully small personnel
with which they have been forced to
work."
In report of the Schools Commit
tee it was stated that all of the chill
dren in the Jefferson School who had
been reported suffering for need of
medical attention in DR.. Leon Cor
don's report last month had been
given medical care.
Play Needs Cited.
The committee reported a school
physician also had been at the school
for several weeks also examining all
Of the other pupils.
Lack of proper recreational facili-
ties were decried by various members
of the association.
A meeting of various civic organiZa-
tions will be held this evening in the
fourth precinct board room, at which
plans will be made to secure some
recreation site for southwest children.
This afternoon the Southwest Chill
dren's Council, another new organi-
zation for the prevention of child de-
linquency, will meet in the Office of
the Family Service organization at
GIT M street southwest.

A cold once under way Is a cold

Groves Laxative Bromo Quinine
means COMPLETE relief because
it is COMPLETE treatment. 1t
does all the four things necessary.
1t opens the bowels, combats the

Tucson, Arizona. test for
molly bdenum, recently found by
the Bureau of Mines of the Uni
versity of Arizona. will be in
cluded in the new edition of the
University's bulletin, Field
Tests for the Common Metals, "
the manuscript for which has
just been completed by George
r. Fansett, mining engineer of
that organization.
The test should prove of much
value to prospectors and niue
owners of Arizona since this area
offers unusual possibilities for
finding new deposits of the met
al, the demand for which has in
creased tremendously within the
past few months. This is evi.
denced by the advance in price
together with the veritable army
of field scouts and represent
atives of the leading alloy steel
and chemical companies of this
country as we'll as from foreign
countries.
According to Mr.. Fansett,

are located 10 several counties Of
Arizona, and there is reason to
believe that there are many other
deposits which may now 10 locat

The metal is chiefly employ
&c in the manufacture of special
steels." MIR. Fansett explained.
1T is very necessary in making
high pressure boiler plates, auto
mobile parts, high speed tools,
and was used extensively during
the past war in making weapons
and munitions"
Previously all known methods
OF testing for the metal were com
plicated;it was necessary to use 8
different test for each type of ore
10 which molly bdenum existed. !.
since the tests determined not the
element, but compounds. The me- W
test however, is simple and reli
able, and the same procedure is
used for all ores. since it deter
mines the element itself, bot the
compound. All that ia needed
to perform the new test, Mr..
Fansett says, is nitric and sulph

CONSERVATION CORPS PRAISE y;
FOREST FIRE LOSS IS ONE-FiFTH

Washington, April 15.-Pres-
ident Roosevelt was told today
that $255, 100000 was spent in
given employment TO 100000
young men during the first year
of t h Q civilian conservation
corps.
Robert Fechner. director Of
emergency conservation work,
reported to the chief executive
that $40, 900 would still be ia the
forest camps at the end Of April.
Funds have been appropriated TO
continue the program another
six months.
In addition to the enrolled
men, $4,000 experienced for
esters y d technical experts
have supervised the work and
5000 reserve officers have com
manded the camps.
Reports Of cabinet officers
whose departments cooperated
we're filed with Fechnner's.
Secretary Derm said actual dis
bursements to March / had been
1926. 600. 900. OF which two thirds
has been poured directly into
the channels of industry, com.
merce and agriculture to accel
crate recovery. Men ia b e
corps, Dern reported, sent home
approximately 100000. 900 to aid
their families.
Fire Loss Low
Secretary Ickes aud Secretary
Wallace emphasized the value of
the program to the nations for
ests and parks.
The fire record for 1888 is
one of the best ever recorded for
the national forests" Wallace
reported. Damage was held to
approximately 1926, 900, which ia
less than II per cent OF the an.
nual fire loss during the previ.
Gus five year period"
Wallace also said the corps
had made possible the start, Of
the first large scale, mass attack
on the white pine blister rust
disease ia the forests of the
Pacific northwest where. be said,
the disease has continued to
spread and wipe out the entire
white pine lumber industry"
Another credit 10 be recorded,
be said. was the planting of 72,
600. 900 trees during the year.
Ickes reported the forest work
ers had made possible the carry
ing out Of plans for national
parks which would have taken
10 years to accomplish under
normal circumstances.
Secretary Perkins praised the
social phases of the work.
It is clear that no single at.
tack upon unemployment could
have aroused more widespread
and deeply felt approval" she
said. 1T is a plan which does
conserve the social resources of
the nation.
