BY ALICE EYERSMAN.

TINE program given last evening
by the Hamline Choir. at its
Spring concert in the Hamline
L M. E. Church, presented ex-
clusively modern and ultra
modern compositions under the di-
rection of John H. Marville. The
musical value and with fine balance
of variety of mood The concert
proved to be one of the most inter-
esting given in some time of this
type of music and was a welcome eX-
cursion into the new literature avail
able for choir work. Both the di-
rector and choir are to be commended
for their efforts to present something
different as we'll as for the careful
study that was evident in their in
terpretations.
The compositions selected were
deeply religious in character with an
individuality of expression that en-
phasized the beauty Of the texts. In
the first group GuStave Holst's "Eter-
nal Father" with bell accompaniment,
was arrestingly lovely. embodying an
atmospheric effect of distinct original
ity Eric Gritton's 20 Emmanuel
Our King and Lawgiver," which
opened the program, was noble
work, impressive in the manner Of
treating the text and rendered by
the choir with fervid tonal color.
Original effects were arrived at in
w. Lawrence Curry's "Hymnus
Christie" while the fantasy on old
carols Christmas Day" by Hoist
contained the expertly intermingled
themes of the old Yuletide songs. The
final number of this group. r.
Vaughan Williams "The Hundredth
Psalm" profoundly religious in this
setting, was given in dignified and
broad line by the choir.
In the second group Mr. Marville
sang Maurice Ravel's magnificent ar
rangement of the Jewish prayer.
"Kaddish," with impressive effect.
His well rounded and warm tonal
quality was especially appropriate for
the simple outline of this deeply NOV
ing remembrance Of the dead and his
Interpretation was marked by fine
understanding. Two other solos in
this group. Delamarter's Carlton"
Rogers "Toccata," we're played by
Edith Athey on the organ, who also
accompanied the singers throughout
the program.
The other soloists heard during the

Yes, and Then Again, No.

Independent republicans of Connectl' rut (no. the terms aren't contradictory some time ago cast out from their order the former law school professor, Albert Levitt of Bedding Mr Levitt Is now member of Attorney General Homer , Cummings Department of Justice. This action did not seem to cause MT Levitt any undue concern, for he promptly or, gnnized new party with which he VIII endeavor to annoy republican candidate" for office this fall.
 These independent republicans las' week further declared their intention to have nothing to do with their founder by branding him as democrat who now holds office under a democratic adminis. tration. All of which might be true were it not for the fact that the same tactics as characterized Mr Levitt in his palmy days of 4 few years back are still his, although not employed as frequently. He has wld' ened his sphere of activities, though.
 William A. IIendrck publisher of the Connecticut State Journal, the monthly publication fighting tO restore Connectl' cut to the republican party, recalled AS can some others of us the recent GIT you call two months ago recent attack or MT Levitt on Governor Cross for his attitude towards the Public Utilities Commission The particular attack, tO which we refer was contained in an article in The Nation entitled, "WhO Owns Connecticut" The guppositi0n to be taken from the writings was that Mr Roraback is still in the saddle.
 Governor Cross felt called upon to re- spond and used the expression "tiSSu" of misstatements" in referring t0 the Lev. fit article. There was no continuation or the argument upon Mr levtts part. Per haps Attorney-General Cummings found some extra duties for him at the moment At any rate it can be seen that the scope of the Bedding man is spreading He no longer finds fault with Mr R0raback lle dislikes the manner in which our demo- cratic officials conduct them in office. All of which makes him more than an indc- sendent republican.
 We anticipate a lively time this fall 1T he can get time off to engage in some cam paign work. His coming will be enjoyed He has never yet engaged in any contro' versy in this state, political or otherwise, that has not supplied the newspapers with good copy. And if he performs as creditably as he did two years ago the democrats of Connecticut can be thankful Tn their present disordered state they certainly need any extra help they can secure, no matter the source. If MT Levitt's best interests this fall should re- suit in bringing democratic victory, as he even predicted himself, we'll be tempt ed to call him democrat, too.

 During the debate on the presidents reciprocal tariff bill, Huey resorted to his favored tao. ties. Member after member had explained at great length, and with pontifical Bolemnity, what n delicate and complicated thing the tariff was.

 There Is no hocus-pocus about tho tariff. 1 vote for your copper and you vote for my sugar. That's tho way it's done. 1t was tho spirit of tho Scripture that caused Q man to give his broth- or 0 tariff, particularly whom he hooded his brothers vote to get a tariff for himself.

BRIDGE ssy EtArrctt Wctxf

Bridge, contrary to general opinion, is not c game for socially passing the time--but for passing tho buck. It's as old as tho hills In fact much dirt has been dug up over 1t. Adam and Eve played it, oven to burning their brjtches be-. hind them. And it's been hearts, diamonds, clubs and divorces ever since.
 Really, tho game Ia two.thirds bluff. There's tho girl who wins ny hncssing---sho displays the most backbone. And tho ono who has few honors, yet c winning way with kings. Spinsters too who cross their bridges before coming to them--by Joining the birth con. tro" movement.
 Some sandwich in an idea that the game is scientific. Between the well bred that's just boioney. But ono cannot win by always being the dummy--one mast have some cents. Many, if they have tho spades, dig in and pile up fortunes. Others sit starry.oycd, gazing at their Miss. Fortunes.
 The real bridge course Ia in the home. Most any woman will con. tract for c business double if sho thinks her partner holds the jack. But it's tho douco to pay when he has only . five spot. It's then that the honeymoon version develops into an auction, with one of thcm getting tho grand slam.

susceptible, is courtesy. Though lacking some of our fine qualities, they are more courteous than we are. And if the two nations ever drift into armed conflict, tt will be from discourtesy as much as any thing.
 At time when armament is under continual discussion again, and the inter- national arms conference at Geneva has been struggling once more to find some ground of agreement among the powers, it is well to remember that courtesy often accomplishes more than battleships and torpedoes, And there are many forms of courtesy.
 Here is a practical form. In 1924 the United States, tightening it's immigration laws, banned Japanese immigrants alto gether, refusing to grant them the same quota percentage allowed European na' tions, though it. would have permitted the entry of only 140 Japanese year.
 That was q discourtesy which was like slap in the face. It undid the friendly work of many years. It cancelled the Jap anese good will gained by our liberal as- sistance given after the great earthquake. The United States Congress, by giving Japan now such a self-respecting quota, could do more to ward off war than 1t can do by voting hundreds of millions for war ships

 "TwIstcd Clay" ,by Frank Wal ford, is q creepy tale about the c0l' lapse of a mind-a story which describes the onset of insanity In way to make you shudder.
 it tells about a girl--evidently an AustralIan--who inherits ranoiac taint from her mother. She enters adolescence as bril- liant and charming youngster who lacks all vestiges of a moral sense
 Her emotional life is somehow perverted and twisted. ana ner father and the family doctor de. eide to take her to vienna ana subject her to a glanduiar opera ton, in the hope of making ner normal.
 She finds out about 1t and does not like it; so, to avoid 1t, she cooliy murders her father. without the slightest qualms of conscience, and burics him in Q newly hlied grave in the village cemetery.
 Then she begins to suffer delu- sions. She hears ringing bells and unearthly voices; the shade of her murdered father enters her room each night 10 chat with her. Bit by bit she slips farter over the line into madness.
 The murder is discovered; by e bit of amazingly ingenious and heartless tying, she throws sus- picion on the doctor and ruins his career. She is confined for a time in an asylum; she manages to escape, hides in the city. and, at the instigation of her super-naturai voices, begins career as Q homi- cidai maniac, committing murders for no reason at all. and covering her tracks with uncanny skill.
 And through it all sine has inter- vals Of complete sanity. She lights against her madness. dreads to hear the unearthiy voices--but when they speak she has to obey.
 The end. of course, is complete madness and death.

The Rails Go

As was predicted right along the Public Utilities Commission has seen no reason to forbid the removal of trolley rails on the East Main street line and establish a bus route in it's stead. At hearing yesterday there was no objection raised by either of the parties concerned in the physical end of the work--the city and the Connecticut company-nor was objection voiced by any person who lives within the areas to be affected.
 Years ago such hearings were always attended by persons who might have some personal grievance and who would express it publicly. But to-day even a momentous question like change in transportation methods scarcely brings forth comment. The region that will be affected by the change is highly residen., tial and thickly populated It includes all the East End and ultimately will extend as far as Cheshire.
 We feel sure that the establishment of this bus route is but the forerunner oi many similar ones in the next rev months. It is quite obvious that the trol' ley car, SO far as Waterbury IS coll .erned is doomed. Even our hills are no longer problem to the modern motor bus used in transporting passengers Time was when we believed that hilly routes would prevent establishment of such service, but this has been disprovcd of recent years.
 If the removal of the East Main street rails does one good thing it will be the elimination of the dangerous underpass at Rockville. It is surprising that more ac- cidents have not occurred there of recent years with increased traffic and faster operation of motor vehicles. Such n haz' ard has no place in the modern highway Syatem.

ltaly's Wheat

The Mussolini government in Italy has been stimulating the cultivation of wheat by offering yearly prize for the best wheat farming. The prize-awarding cer' emony this year was in the nature of vic tory celebration. Italy ",w grows all the wheat it needs. lnaI address Musso. lini emphasized the great financial, eco homie and military importance of being self-sufficient in this respect. "rhe battle of the wheat has been won," he said. "We know today that, no matter what happens bread will be available for the Italian soldiers and people," His minister of agriculture stressed the same point, say ing, "The nation has acquired security for it's daily bread"
 The assurance of plenty of bread for . whole nation is matter for rejoicing. It is unfortunate, however, that the idea of war.preparedness seems to be SO large an element of Italian satisfaction. One won. ders whether other wheat-growing and wheat-exporting nations will congratulate Italy wholeheartedly, and also whether Il day may come when Italy has too much wheat and must blow under some of its lately-developed acres. Such thoughts would have seemed silly few years ago. The fact that they are not so dismissed now is evidence of our general puzzlement about all our old ideas

 London, (UP)--An imperial con. ference, attended by representa- lives of Britain and tho D0minions !a likely to be called this year.
 It will have far-rcnching effects on Britain's trade accords, it IA be. iievod.
 The imperial conference nor. rnnIly is held every four years. lt last took place in 1880, but no meeting has been convened yet for this year. owing to the interven. ti0n of the Ottawa conference in i032.
 Conference Urged
 Now the governments of Cam ada, Australia and Now Zealand Gro urging that such q conference be hold In tho near future. They are said to be alarmed as to what may happen when the OttHwn agree nents relating to dairy prod lco come up for revision In June, tg36.
 They fear further cuts In their export quotas of dairy produce to Britain. What they wants is that the cuts shall be made in the ex. port quotas Of. foreign countries.
 The situation is this Tho British Success of It's marketing scheme competition. It has been an. nounced in parliament that the failure of the milk marketing scheme was due to n flood of low priced Dominion goods. Walter Elliott. minister for ag- riculture, is said to favor cuts in the Dominions' quotas next June, in order to boost his pet marketing schemes,
 Threat of Gut The threat of reducing the DomIniOns' quotas provides Britain with an excellent weapon for bar gaining for q reduction in the Dominlons' protective tariffs against British goods. Already New Zealand has asked the do- rninion office whether q drastic rec Guction, or tho removal. of her l protective tariff on British goods would ensure the continuance of unrestricted supplies of butter and chees to Britain.
 It is understood that the reply was unsatisfnctory. New Zealand has redoubled her pleas for q con- ference Co consider the situation.
