Almost at the same time came a
letter from Yehudi's father with &C
counts of the Overwhelming success
OF the young genius on the first lap
OF his world tour Such an unusual
parsonage as Yehudi belongs to all
communities and all those who were
privileged to hear him at his concerts
in this city will undoubtedly be inter-
ested to know of the tremendous
impression made by him in Australia
In the period from May Is to June
20 Yehudi gave 10 concerts in Mel
bourne. Each of these brought out the
social .and artistic circles of the cap
ital to tax the capacity of Town Hall |
at each concert. The critics them
selves admit that they had exhausted
all adjectives in describing his playing /.
and bewailed the fact that the same I
words had been tarnished by their ap- |
plication to lesser artists.
The Melbourne Star says: "Once |
perhaps in hundred years musical
genius arises TO amaze the world. /
Longer periods than that elapse before /
a genius arises who has message that |
gives fresh inspiration and who can /
reveal new beauty in his art. OF the |
rare type is Yehudi Menuhin. The |
l8-year-old violinist is a twentieth /
century apostle with a new message /
a message pulsating with vitality and
stimulating in its inspiration"
There were many human interest
stories connected with those concerts.
At risk Of their lives, four young girls,
who had not the price Of ticket,
climbed across the roof of the Town
Hall of Melbourne and inside the
lighting equipment and spotlights. go
feet above Yehudi's head. where they !
we're compelled to restrain their en-
thusiasm or be discovered. When .
Yehudi heard of their escapade ne j
sent tickets for another concert, so
they could listen to him with greater
safety Another enthusiast ran from !
the organ loft in the concert hall in !
Sidney and gathered up the shreds OF
Ilair from the artists bow, which his
vigorous playing Of the Paganini Con-
certo" had caused to fall to the stage.
Since it will be many months before
Yehudi returns to Washington these
words of his great success on the other
side of the world bring real pleasure.
He is in truth an "apostle" bringing
beauty wherever he goes, and who
knows how fruitful that message Will
be in helping many to a finer and
nobler life?

WITH that frenzied fervor in which
he tackles figures, the secretary
Of the Washington Taxpayers Pro-
tective Association casts knowing
eye over the relief roll. He pom
ders. Scratching his head, he opines;
THE relief roll has grown less
than it was last year. That is true.
But, it is one and half times larger
than two years ago. And, two years
ago we were dragging bottom"
There must be reason. Mr.. Lusk
takes out his pencil, makes a few
passes over a piece of blank paper
and reveals a startling fact. It is
this:
The number Of colored people who
have received relief here since the
rolls opened equals more than 81 per
cent Of the colored population.
Nov, any one should know that
is not the truth. Most Of the colored
population Of Washington, highly re-
spectacle and hard-working, not hit
too much by adversely. manages to
wangle out a lving-without benefit
Of the dole. Figures, however, show
otherwise. There Is something wrong
somewhere"
That Is the surmise Of Rufus 8.
Lusk
This overburdening Of the relief
rolls may, In itself, be true test
of Washington's prosperity. Derelicts
from other communities are said tn
be coming in here, getting on the
relief rolls-supposed to be only for
Washingtonians.
Figures tend to show that.
While there was drop in the relief
rolls over last year, the decrease was
due primarily to the fewer number
Of new and reopened cases.

been registered on relief in Washing
