Song


Song by Thomas CGreJO
Ask where Jove bestows,
When June is past, the fading rose
For in your beautys orient deep
These flowers, in their causes, sleep.
Ask me whittier do stray
The golden atoms of the days
For in pure love heaven did prepare
Those powders to enrich your hair.
ASK whittier doth haste
The nightingale when May is past;
For in your sweet dividing throat
She winters and keeps her note
Ask where those stars light
That downwards fall in dead of night
For in your eyes they SIT and there
Fixed become in their sphere
Ask if east o west
The Phoenix builds her spicy nest
For unto you at last she flies,
And in your fragrant bosom dies.

Not a whisper of Tschaikow-
Sky's characteristic melancholy
may be found in the "Nutcracker
Suite" a theme from which Is
shown above. The ballet suite is
based on the fantastic fairy story,
1.-The Nutcracker and the Mouse
King" by E. T. A. Hoffman.
AS the "Nutcracker Suite" will
be given in it's entirety by the
Bekefi-Delaporte Institute of the
Dance next Sunday night in the
Jewish Community Center, Six
tenth and @ SITS. N. w., the va
rious movements of this suite
will be included this week in the
series, Music Everyone Should
Know"
The story Of the ballet is cen
tered about the dream of a little
poor girl who has been given
among other toys, a silver nut
cracker which was at once broken
by some rough boy friends. The
girl grieves over the broken nut
cracker and goes to sleep on
Christmas night with her pillow
wet with tears.
AS she dreams, the broken nut
cracker assumes a human form
and commands the lead soldiers
in battle against mice led by
the Mouse-King. AS the lively
cohorts of mice are about to tri-
umph, the girl Stays the Mouse
King with slipper; whereupon
the nutcracker is transformed
into a handsome prince. The
prince takes the girl to the fas-
cinating country Of the Sugar
Plum Fairy somewhere in Araby,
where their arrival is celebrated
by a great frolic by the toys.
The brilliant, rhythmic, and bar
barrie music composed for the &C
ton of this story is such that only
a Russian can properly delineate
it in the dance. Theodore Bekefi
has the training and art OF the
Imperial Russian ballet under Fo-
kline and the great Diaghileff.
The first movement Of the suite
is the Miniature Overture - which
is just what the name indicates.
While it is not as good dance &C.
compartment as the other move
ments, it is nervously alive with
sprightly charm. The movement
does not use the BASES and cellos,
leaving the burden of the music
on the violins and resulting in a
brightness and penetrating sweet
ness with several marked climaXeS.
True to his usual form, Tschai-
kowSky embellishes the main theme
with bright scales played under
and over it; glittering rivulet of
tone flashes from the flute and
suddenly the pizzicati chords of
the strings, joined with the soft
tones of the celesta, end the over

IDAHO VANDALS
 UPSET HUSK|ES IN HOOP OPENER
Washington Loses Confer ence Thriller on Seat
 tie Floor, 37-36

SEATTLE, Jan. 8.-The Idaho Vandals came to town last night and the local boosters of the Uni versity of Washington basketball team still wonder what hit them. For that veteran Idaho club, play ing inspirational ball, trimmed the Huskies in a rousing, hair-raising thriller, 37 to 36.
 It was the first Northern Divis- ion Pacific Coast Conference game for both teams, and it was the first time in modern maple floor history that Idaho has taken a victory from the Seattle five on the Washington flcor. The squads mix again tonight.
 Make no mistake, last nights duel was a thriller of the first water. The visitors started like a house afire and led at one time, 12 to ?, and at another time, IT to T, only to have the battling men of Hec Edmundson rally to lead at half-time, g to 20.
 But the team from Moscow, Ida ho, was not to be denied and, soon after the start of the second pe- riod swept past the startled Illus kies to thrill the 5000 spectators with great exhibition of fight and ability. Just as the final gun sounded, Ralph Bishop, elongated Washington star, sank long shot to bring the count, 37-36, but it was too late.
 Harold Klumb huge Idaho play CT, and young Chuck Wagner, Washington sophomore, tied for high-point Aonors at II each. Both Bob Galer, high-point man in the conference last year, and Clyde Wagner, another Washington ace were busted from the game in the second half on four personal fouls each.

LICHUAN, Kiangsi, China, Jan. 8.-Under the guidance of China's first lady" Madame Chiang Kali Shek, the people of this ravaged territory, recently rescued from the communist armies, are tackl- ing energetically the problem of reconstruction.
 Mime. Chiang is president of the Kiangsi Christian Rural Service Onion, an organization which has set out to effect the regeneration of region which had been reduced to social and economic ruin by six years of calamity.
 Peasants Like New Deal
 Volunteer workers from Chinese universities, government experts on social problems and foreign mis- sionaries are working in close CO., operation to create modern rural society on district which was known only a few years ago as darkest China
 The peasant population has been responsive to this new deal" and in the few months in which the work has been in progress much headway has been made in such projects as village industries, rural health programs, credit and mar keting cooperatives, classes in mod ern agricultural methods and mass education.
 The task is a formidable one, The population has been so deci- mated by the wholesale exodus of neonle within the terror-filled
