K|NDLER STRESSES
RHYTHM IN TALK.
Mozart and Strauss Domi-
nate Program at Central
High School.
BY ALICE EVERSMAN.

Mozart and Strauss, whom DR.. Hans
Kinder said, God created to dispel
the gloomy aftermath of war. uni
versal at that time in Europe, dominat-
ed the program of the third students
concert given by the National Sym
phony Orchestra at Central High
School yesterday morning. Following
newly adopted plan of presenting
the composers of different countries
on each program, the music of Austria,
Hungary and Bohemia was chosen for
Yesterdays concert, represented by
their outstanding writer's, Mozart,
Haydn, Schubert, Dvorak, Smetana
and Johann Strauss.
Stresses Rhythm.
DR.. Kinder stressed the Importance
of rhythm in the informal lecture
with which he interspersed the con-
cert and took care to point out the
difference in each worked played. At
the very beginning, the two compost
tions by Mozart, the wedding March
from The Marriage of Figaro" and
the dainty "Minuet," written at the
age of IL, were selected for their
resemblance of style and the difference
of rhythm. AS a second orchestral
number, the first movement of Schu-
hert's Unfinished Symphony" was
played, DR.. Kinder preceding it by
a short word picture of the composer
and his life.
As the musical instrument tour,
which is part of these concerts, had
reached the woodwind section Of the
orchestra, quartet Of tromboneS,
played by Robert Claf'-, Vincent Squeo,
Edward Gummel and George Gaul,
gave MoZart's Ave Verum" as illus
tration. The combination of wood
winds and strings was demonstrated
in the "Allegretto' from Haydn's
Symphony in D."
Dances Well Received.
Bohemia was represented by its
most prominent composers, Dvorak
and Smetana, in two numbers written
VII UIlC DdSLS VI IiAC lAdIIOAlo4 NuAISSS.
The gay and variegated "Slavonic
Dance" and Bohemian Dance" were
received with special enthusiasm by
the children.
Elsa Baklor, soprano. gave two
Hungarian folk songs in native cos
tune. Miss Baklor has an unusually
fine voice which she understands how
to handle. and a decided dramatic
instinct which added vivacity to her
excellentIy sung numbers. The con-
cert finished with Strauss ''Pizzicato
Polka" which had to be repeated, and
"On the Blue Danube" waltz. The
song chosen for the audience to sing
was the familiar Czechoslovakian n
Dance Song" which, however, needed
three repetitionS before the singers
were thoroughly warmed up The
audience was one of the largest of
these popular concerts, attentive and
absorbed in the interesting history of
music which DR.. Kinder so skillful1y
brings out while making known the
best and most easily comprehended
works of each country's famous COM
posers.

WE'RE GROWING OLDER

THE people of Lima, Peru, have been cele-
u brating of late-celebrating the 4Ooth an
niversary of their city's founding. And in
that celebration there is gentle reminder
that white civilization on the American con-
tinents is an older thing than we usually
suppose.
Keeping our eyes within our own bound
aries, we generally take it for granted that
the traditions of the new world are all very
short But to so back four centuries into the
past is to go back long way.
When Lima was founded, England's fight
with the Spanish armada was still half q
century in the future. Shakespeare was not yet
born, and Martin Luther was still alive.
A society that can trace its lineage that far
back is getting on in years. The United States
and Canada may still be youthful; but Latin
America is. as human societies go. we'll along
in middle age.

THE SIX-HOUR DAY

IN face of outspoken opposition from Rail
Co-ordinator Eastman, union leaders at
Chicago voted to press their demands on Con-
gress for six-hour day. We believe the rail-
mems six-hour day, like the blanket 3O-hour
week, can not be won by legislative fat
Doubtless, as the workers claim, there are
about one million fewer men employed on the
railroads than in 1921. But it is not probable
that these, or any large number of them could
be reabsorbed by cutting the work day to six
hours. Mr.. Eastman says that to establish
six-hour day on the present eight-hour day
pay scale would add $500 100000 annually to
the railroads labor costs. Would not this
burden cause unemployment by forcing further
installation of labor-saving devices?
Because of over-expansion stock watering
cut-throat competition and other past follies,
the American railway system E morally is in
bad way. Already SIS roads, operating over
$4,000 miles or twice the total British mileage,
are in bankruptcy or receivership. More than
one and half billion dollars of rail bonds are
in default. To meet further deficits threat
ened by wage reservations, the roads are ask
ing the Interstate Commerce Commission for
a desperate and probably uneconomic measure,
general freight rate increase. The roads are
in heavy debt to the Reconstruction Finance
Corp. and Public Works Administration.
The workers prosperity depends Or that of
the carriers. To restore that railroad pros
perity there exists no magic formula. Con-
gress can help by imposing strict regulation Of
accounts, rates, standards and labor relations
on the railroads competitors - the barges.
Buses pipelines and airways. Even then there
remains the hard railroad job of financial re-
organization and modernization. Only when
the roads have restored their credit can they
borrow to re-equip their lines.
Aside from such reforms to strengthen the
industry upon which they depend, the workers
security lies along liz of unemployment in
surance, dismissal ( ..lpcnsatior, retirement
pensions and fruito / of the splendid labor
relations which have blessed most of this in
dustry.

DISLIKED EDITORIAL ON
WHAT REALLY COUNTS"

BY R. E. Baur.
Under the caption, What Really
Counts" we read an editorial that
should properly have been placed in
the Indianapolis News, or appear
ing in The Times there should have
been a question mark after the cap
ton.
What really counts is whether or
not Henry Ford is to take any re-
sponsibility for the 10000 workers
and the additional 10000 mentioned
after the two or three months of
feverish production, whether he will
recognize their rights as human be-
ings to say how fast pace they are
to work.
Henry Ford car not throw out his
machines at the end of several
months production, but he cam and
will throw out from 10000 to $4,000
workers who will join the ranks of
the seaSonally unemployed. We
know that we will refuse to recog-
nize any organized voice of his
workers. The business is his and he
runs it as he pleases. The Times
will, of course, get Ford advertise
ments for writing editorials of ap-

WELCOME CHANGES

DERHAPs the most interesting thing about
u the security program offered to Congress
by President Roosevelt is not the program
itself. but the Congressional reaction to it.
So far. hardly voice has been raised in
opposition to the measure itself. On the con-
trary, criticism seems to be based almost en-
tirely on the contention that the measure
does not go far enough.
In that fact you have a yardStick to

NAVAL DISCLOSURES

THAT beats anything I ever heard Of in
Il all my hfe,' Senator Bone said of tes-
tinony at the munitions inquiry that the Navy
Department drew a contract permitting
shipbuilding corporation to charge the gov
eminent for all of its taxes including income
taxes.
Men who have lived longer than Senator
Bone might say the same.
Disclosures of the cordial cooperation be-
tween the military departments of the gov
eminent and manufacturers of war weapons
are eye-openerS. They seem to prove that
neither the American people. nor their Con-
gress, nor their President, nor their State
Department have had enough to do with the
governments defense policies and interna-
tional relations
This alleged Navy Department effort to
save "a shipbuilding contractors profits from
taxation is an especially fragrant uSurpation.
The corporations attorney said that any one
signing such a contract was "a fool" and an
officer of the corporation admitted the con-
tract would not stand up"
Also revealing are the statement OF Adj
miral Land that cruiser prices quoted by pri-
vate builders have doubled in the last three
years, and evidence that one engineering firm
draws warship plans for three major COM
panies and also for the Navy Department.
Congress might save the taxpayers money
by asking the Navy to hold up its big building
program until more is learned.

But the temptation is becoming too strong.
curious haircuts, sartorial eccentricities and
amazing contrasts is gradually weakening Mrs.

Congress-" she says. Such beautiful, wavy
hair They would make splendid pictures"
Next to artistic Caroline sits Rep. Everett M.
Dirksen of Pekin, ILL., celebrated here for having
rented dress suit to attend White House re-
ception. Some observers think that the side
view which Mrs. O'Day enjoys of the Dirksen
name may have prompted her remark about
beautiful, wavy hair. Mr. Dirksen seldom combs
his hair but allows it to fall gracefully about
his eyes. He is (tonsorially speaking) the Borah

fcim Of coddling, designed TO sep our national
self-reliance
This comment is not made in criticism of
any party or any individuals. Most of US
would have looked on it in that fashion. We
simply we're not ready to admit that things
can happen in our country against which
no amount Of individual effort could avail
But now the plan is ofered-and the OBJ
lection most commonly heard is the charge
that it isn't strong enough; that it does not
provide enough security, or promise to pay
out enough money.
Washington correspondents agree that there
pass; the question is whether it will not be
amended to give greater benefits.
We have had revolution in this country.
after all; and it has taken place in our
minds. Our point of view has shifted. We
don't look at things with the same eyes that
we used half dozen years ago.
Yesterdays dangerous radicalism is the
height of today's conservatism-in this one
field, at any rate.
This simply means that we have found out
some things about our country and about our
selves.
We have found out that a country in
which great masses Of the people never earn
more than SIS or $40 a week. and are sub
Ject to spells Of complete unemployment at
varying intervals, is not country in which
every man can attain any measure of indie
pendence and security by his own efforts.
And we have found out, simultaneously
that we as individuals can not stand If IN
have that state of affairs continue indefinitely
We are willing to subject ourselves to
complicated and expensive program to end it,
