Well" Heller related sadly, "the

got to take that chicken, then I
don't want any Of them. He walked
out on US"

half a coop of chickens, he has to
take half, just like that" and he
sliced an imaginary coop in half

OF course, no one can foretell
what the Supreme Court will de-
eide, but Judging from what hear
about the corridors OF the Capitol,
the MIRA IL not in very high re-
pute and it is freely predicted that
the Court will at least hold certain
portions Of 1t unconstitutional.
The MIRA Is not very popular
with the farmers and small bust
ness men. They contend that it has
unduly increased cost of merchan-
disc without correspondingly in
creasing the ability of people to
buy.
The matter of extending and
amending the AAA will shortly
come before Congress. It is now
before the committees Of the two
Houses. While the AAA may have
its faults, yet we have but to look
back to the days before it was in
voked to realize what it has done.
Perhaps one of the greatest COM
pliments paid the AAA was when
a delegation representing the pota-
to growers Of Maine came to see
me several weeks ago and asked
that potatoes be made a basic COM
modify. I have similar requests
from the potato-growing sections
of Minnesota, which would indicate
to me that there is some good in
the plan.
As I see it, in attempting a per-
manent program we should retain
the good features of the various
New Deal setups. For instance, the
MIRA has done away with sweat
shops and child labor. Certainly, no
one would go back to either Of
these evils.

Cheers "

'My son recently started to
learn an alto horn and hopes to
join a boys band soon. The parts
of the band arrangements do not
seem to sound well when he plays.
Would you suggest a better in
strument for him? He seems to
be interested in the instrument,
but I do not like the music Of
the alto horn" Three cheers for
a boy who is willing to learn
music in thorough manner!
Most boys are not interested in
the alto horn because it does not
ordinarily play melody.

gan on an alto horn in the town

perience the most valuable foun-

Please, mother. do not discourage

The alto horn plays a monot
onous succession of tones usually
in the after-beat of the accom-
paniment such as the right hand
would play on the piano in play
ing a simple chord accompani
ment. The great value in playing
the alto horn lies in the training
in counting time and the fact
that beginner may play after
beat with an amateur band in an
incredible short time. The reason
for this quick performing ability
lies in the absence of technical
demands. An alto part in an
ordinary march may not use more
than six different tones through
out the piece, but the time must
be accurate. BY all means lei

CRIME WAR

ATLANTIC CITY, Sept. IL.
The National Woman's Christian
Temperance Union will fight
crime and juvenile delinquency by
teaching youth once more to love
good music, to appreciate the arts,
to form taste for good literature
and to desire social refinements.
The program was announced at
the sixty-first annual convention
here by Miss Grace Leigh Scott,
of Greenville, Ind, former worker
in the A. E. F., now national di-
rector of the w. C. T. U. social
morality department.
She said:
"Our nation is Inundated at
its crime record, and particu-
larly at the youth of its crimi-
mails. Seeds of delinquency have
been sown early, and it becomes
necessary to trace their origin,
to safeguard childhood and the
child's mind from ti-eir infec-
tion.
"The subnOrmal tendencies in
our amusements; the lowering
of taste in music, literature and
other arts; the fact that we can
find satisfaction in cheap,
shOddy pleasures, is a challenge
and call to action for all who
are interested in human prog
reSS."
1--WE must begin a great pro.
gram of education to recreate a
love of good music, an apprecia-
ton of the best in various arts,
taste for good literature, and a
desire for refinements and
social graces expressed in dress,
manner and speech. With these
goes a sincerity of purpose
which will bring a realization of
the shams and articles under
the thin veneer of many present
social customs"

While our Washington impre-
sarios are busy publicising their
concert courses and attending to
a heavy advance sale of season
tickets, it might be interesting 10
consider and compare what our
neighboring city of Baltimore will
have for its musical fare this
season.
Possibly the most important
announcement is the appointment
of a well-known conductor for
the municipal Baltimore Sym
phony Orchestra, DR.. Ernest
Schelling. While the Baltimore
organization has doubtless been
under the direction of capable
directors, their names have sci,
dom been heard elsewhere. With
the advent of DR.. Schelling, an
internationally known musical
name is brought to the podium.
AS a conductor. DR.. Schelling
has received considerable atten'
ton in directing children's con,
certs with the New York Phil
harmonic for a number of years.
internationally, he is known as a
great pianist. He will continue
a series of children's concerts in
New York, but will devote most
of his time to the Baltimore or,
chestra. Only five children's con-
certs are announced this season
in Baltimore.
The exact number of concerts
for the season are not as yet an
nounced, as DR.. Schelling has not
been able to figure the relation
between rehearsals and concerts
that a limited civic budget will
permit. The less time spent on re-
hearsal, the more concerts will
be achieved. Some conductors
spend much time in rehearsal,
stopping to explain every small
detail; others have faculty for
a clear explanation when start,
ing work on a new composition so
that few stops are required.
DR.. Schelling is notably of the
latter class of conductors. He has
the power of winning the CO.
operation of the players with his
air of friendly authority which
eliminates misunderstanding and
time-consuming errors. He so
peared in Baltimore as a guest
conductor two years ago when he
presented his own tone poem, "A
Victory Ball"

World Of M HUSic
Theme Of Simple Aveu." by frances Thome.

by DR.. Schelling and one OF the
major works of Sibelius.
DR.. Ernest Schelling made his
first public appearance when at
the age of four he gave piano re-
cital. In furthering his STUDIES
abroad he was a pupil OF the
famous piano pedagogue, Leschet-
izky; later he acquired the dlstinc-
ton of being one of the only two
pupils that Paderewski has ever
accepted. Concert tours in Europe
and South America brought him
much favorable notice and his
reputation as a conductor of chill
dren's concerts in New York has
been widespread.
The Baltimore Symphony Or
chestra is known as America s
first municipality supported orches-
ira and was organized 19 years
ago. Gustave Strube, who ap-
peared here at the Watergate this
summer as a guest conductor, was
the first regular conductor OF the
orchestra. DR.. Schelling succeeds
George Siemonn as director of the
orchestra.

Frances Thome, shown above, pre-

CITIZENS OPPOSE
RENT COMMISSION
PetWorth Association Terms
House Measure Class
Legislation.

Branding the House bill to create
o rent commission here as "class
legislation" the Petworth Citizens
Association last night adopted a
resolution opposing the measure at
o meeting in Petworth School.
]. L. Carr, chairman Of the Laws
and Legislation Committee, brought in
the resolution, which listed the fol-
lowing reasons for opposition:
THE purpose Of the bill Is against
the long-recognized principles Of our
economic system and 1t Is class legis-
lation, as 1t is designed to favor one
class-the renter-only.
Emergency Is Denied.
Merely because living accommo-
dations are exceptionally well occu-
pied does not create such an emer-
gency (as declared in the bilD as to
demand radical legislation.
The enactment. of the bill would
tend to defeat its own purpose; 1t
would discourage building which
without encouragement would create
an abundance of living accommo-
dationS.
There is no more reason to legiS-
late against rents than against food
or clothing; so far as prices are con-
cerned there is just as much OF an
emergency in food as in housing"
Copies of the resolution are to be
