The dubious prospect was given
a demonstration. He was placed
in the salesman'S car and taken at
the legal rate OF speed from. his
prospective residence to the White
House-in so many minutes.
This had a very prompting ef'

Fourteenth Street is blockaded
from Virginia Avenue to Constitu-
ton Avenue and traffic attempt
ing the passage through Monu-
ment Park is detoured around the
park instead of directly through
it as in the past.
So, irrespective of the rapidity
of travel over Mt. Vernon Boule-
ward, River Road or Mt. Vernon
Avenue, the Virginian when he
gets to town must negotiate the
detour, either via the narrow,
winding and congested Virginia
Avenue-Twelfth Street route, or
he must take the longer passage
around the park. ~
It seems that the wrong word
was used in a recent story in this
column when the writer stated the
Hole fund was beginning to IRE
volve."
The accumulation of borrowers
interest payments does not enable
the corporation to build up re-
volving fund for making additional
loans, it appears. Instead these
payments are used, first, to pro-
vide funds for operating expenses
and, second, to pay interest on the
outstanding bonds, which have
been exchanged for the mortgages
that were refinanced.

HIST ORIG SPOT
OFFERS NEW
DEAL

Announcement has been made
Of the opening Of an extraordinary
sale of summer homesites in one
of Maryland's most historical Sec
tions, Point Blackstone. This
point of land overlooks Black
istone Island, which name has
been changed to the original, st.
Clements Island, on whose sandy
beach over three hundred years
ago, landed the two brave ships
containing Lord Baltimore and his
band of fearless followers. The
great state of Maryland Is just
having one of the most original
celebrations of this ancient event
ever put on by any state. The
first of this series Of celebrations
took place at Blackstone Island:
A great white cross was erected
on the spot where Lord Balti-
more's followers planted their
small cross three hundred years
ago and the ceremony was at
tended by thousands of people.
Within sight of this island lies
a beautiful point of land, the his
tory of which. is as celebrated as
that of the island itself. This has
been known as Coltons Point for
many years and on this point lies
the beautiful summer residential
subdivision known as Point Black
istone. This land lies high and
level above the Potomac River
and st. Clements Bay just above
where the river empties into Ches-
apeake Bay For hundreds OF
years this great body Of salt water
has been Washington's most IA
NOUS fishing ground, nearly every
variety of the finney tribe gath
ering here in large numbers.
Fine Beaches
The beaches here are hard
white sand where the surf thun-
ders in making the finest bathing
anywhere near washington.
Point Blackstone was laid out
carefully, and many beautiful cot
tages will be found throughout
the subdivision, some along the
shores, some surrounding the nat
ural harbor which nestles almost
in the center Of the allotment,
forming a natural harbor for the
cottagers boats.
The lots at Point Blackstone
have sold for five to ten times the
price now asked, but on account
of the death of the owner, the late
Robert Blackstone, it has been
necessary to put them on the mar
ket for the extremely low price Of
$40 so that every family may have
the opportunity Of owning a fine
summer place at a modest price.
PreshOwing Today
The preshowing of these beauti.
full home sites will take place to-
day and tomorrow, and the open
ing sale taking place the following
Saturday and Sunday. ,
It is exepcted that many 'fam1'
lies will avail themselves of the
opportunity of securing one or
more of these home sites during
the preshowing at this extremely
low price.
Point Blackstone may be
reached Ivy driving out Pennsyl'
vania Ave. s. E., and turning right
at Eleventh st. s. E., across the
Eleventh Street bridge into Ana
costa, turning left at the traffic
light and up the Good Hope Hill
onto the Leonardtown Road 20

NEW YORK, April 1s.-Stocks

Some market commentators ex-
pressed the opinion that stocks have
been selling "ex-inflation," empha-
sizing a revival OF me investment i'm

The possibility of strikes in the oil

Market sentiment was not quite as
bright as it has been, although few

BEGINNING DRIVE FOR
SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA

TODAY is important to the National
Symphony Orchestra and to its
wellwishers in that it marks the open
ing Of the campaign for the subscrip-
ton fund necessary TO insure concerts
for next year.
During the last three years, the or
chestra has climbed far, artistically,
under Kinler's direction, and on q
smaller budget than any such SYM
phouy h the United States. A $780,
900 budget Is needed by the Boston
Symphony, q $5o0,000 budget by the
, Philadelphia orchestra and more than
s400, 900 Is needed by the New York
Philharmonic each year. The accom-
plishments of the National Symphony
are brought out into even more strik-
ing relief when it Is realized that 1t
operates on less than one-fourth OF
these orchestraS' costs. The deficit
of the Detroit orchestra last year, for
, instance, was nearly twice the amount
on which the National Symphony sue
cessfully operated its season.
Much, of course, Is due to the
splendid size OF the audiences.
11OWCtCI, ~ 1CnNS @ NoA4o1NOA 49,
sum which must be raised by popular
subscription from among persons who
realize the musical. cultural and civic
value of maintaining an orchestra in
the Capital.
Much of the fund will have to come
from dues for membership to the
National Symphony Orchestra Asso-
ciation. Dues are s25 a year, al
though many members subscribe
more. Late last season, the orchestra s
future was placed even more definitely
in the hands Of those who support
1t by becoming members Of the as
sociation, by giving each member a
vote in the orchestra's affairs. It
was recently announced, further, that
IL per cent Of membership subscrip-
tions for the season l934-35 will be
applicable, if the donor so wishes, to
season tickets.
After today's concert. a reception
for all members of the National Sym
phony Orchestra Association will be
held at 1928 F street northwest. to
meet Albert Spalding, todays soloist,
and Michael Strange, distinguished
authoress and playwright, who has
recently come to live in washington.

ance Of, for instance, q work like
Strauss "Salome's Dance" with q
duration Of seven or eight minutes, an
orchestra has to pay $751;
I would like to draw special atten-
ton to the last movement Of this
superb concerto because of the charm
ing way in which the rythm Is con-
stantly changed.
"Bourree Fantasque" ...... .Chabrter
The "Bourree Fantasque," by Cha
brier. Is one Of those works which un-
Justly have disappeared from the cur
rent repertoire. If ever there was
work which shows the particular
brand Of French happiness known as
"joie de vivre" 1t Is this particular
work. From the very start, the main
theme (of typical French country
dance) Is full Of the spirit and ex-
uberance Of nearly Rabelaisian
character. It Is happiness Of a kind
which Chabrier, with his southern
French blood, was particularly apt to
illustrate felicitously, as he has done
In his other works like "Espana," etc.
This work was originally a piano
composition and has been splendidly
orchestrated by Felix Mottl. 1t Is IN
the traditional A B A form, with
singing middle section after its gay
and impetus first part, which, later
on, Is resumed.
"Poene" .Chausson
The Chausson "Poeme" Is one OF
the three Of four works which have
given this master his fame. 1t Is
work full of a yearning quality and
feeling Of aspiration, interrupted by
passages Of intense passion. 1t Is in
fluenced, as were Chausson's other
works, by the spirit of Cesar Franck,
his master, but there Is no doubt that
he acquired an idiom of his own. 1t
is one of the works which is dedicated
to Ysaye, the great Belgian violinist
whose playing was indirectly respon-
sible for the creation of SO many con-
temporaneous compositions OF value,
the greatest service an interpretive
artist can render TO posterity. Re-
Gently 1t seems to have been dropped
from the current concert programs,
and am happy that Mr.. Spalding,
besides the lovely Mozart concerto,
made this admirable choice.
Overture. "Phedre" ..... .Massenet
The concert, the second half OF
which, as will be noticed, Is dedicated
to works Of French composers, will be
finished by another overture to
tragedy, namely, the one by Massenet
to Racine's immortal 'Phedre," the
work with which every great actress.
from Adrienne, LeconVeur and Ra-
chet to Bernhardt and Duse has
added to her fame.
1t is a work which speaks for itself
in its combination of dramatic fervor
and melodiousness. The brilliant Or
chestration of the man who created
the well known operas "Thais," Ma
non," "Herodiade," and many others,
Is evident throughout.
"Phedre,'' being a so-called concert
overture as distinguished from one for
purely operatic purposes shows to
particular advantage the special care
which was lavished on its form as
we'll as on its Instrumentation. and it
is undoubtedly Massanet's most Sue
cessful effort in this line.
