"The new crops, income from
poultry, and from other livestock,
sales of garden products, pre-
served foods, handicrafts, inn
proved marketing methods, and
other things which Extension
agents are promoting are con-
sanity adding new income"
The skill and knowledge i'm
parted to boys and girls in All
club work, the inspiration and
information which older people
obtain, the cooperative spirit de-
veloped, the increased morale and
confidence which come with the
services of efficient extension
agents are some of the biggest
gains to a county, Goodman says.
GAIL of these help to add to
the tax paying ability of the peo-
pie of the county. Of course,
such ability is low in depression
times, such as we have had for
four years. But in normal times
there was an increasing ability of
the farm people to meet normal
public needs"
Expenditure for extension
agents for a number of years has
also meant an investment in the
reputation of the county, Good

INVISIBLE MAN
BACK IN GANG
SPOTLIGHT

NEW YORK, Oct. 81 uN.sJ.
"Bo" Weinberg, the invisible
man" Of metropolitan rackets,
leaped back into the reckoning
today as police continued their
major offensive against the un-
derworld as an aftermath of
the murders Of Arthur Dutch
Schultz" Flegenheimer and three
Of his henchmen in Newark last
week.
Weinberg, 1t was learned, held
conference with Martin Krom-
pier, Schultz lieutenant, some
where in the Bronx only a few
hours before Schultz and his
aides were shot down in Newark
and Krompier and Sam Gold
were plugged in a Times Square
barber shop. .~
Weinberg, a former Schultz
associate, Is said to have threat
ened the gangland boss and
Krompier with death if he
wasn't permitted to remain in
control of certain Illicit activ-
tiles the Schultz mob formerly
controlled. Krompier. 1t was
said, threatened Weinberg with
similar fate if Schultz weren't
allowed to take over his old
territories.
Krompier is near death in Poly
clinic Hospital.
This theory contradicts an hy-
potheSiS entertained for some time
that Weinberg was dead and that
the murder of Schultz had been
arranged by the sinister Big Six
syndicate.
Two Of the leaders of this mob,
Johnny Torrio. hacker Of AL Ca
pone, and Lucky Charley" Luci-
ano have been located in Miami,
but Florida police told Police Com
missioner Valentine they would
not moleSt the pair unless specific
charges were brought against
them. Mr.. Valentine admitted he
had not sufficient evidence against
either to bring them back here.

JOB CAMPAIGN
LAUNCHED BY
PRESIDENT
international News Service

President r o o sevelt has
launched a personal drive to en-
list industry in the campaign Of
employment.
While the Government work re-
lief organization is bending every
effort to provide employment for
3,5OO,000 heads of families on re-
lief rolls within the next 80
days, and industrial production
is approaching the 1929 peak,
employment and payrolls in in
dustry are tagging behind pro-
duction, the President revealed.
AS a result he is comforting
eonferring with individual repre-
sentatives Of various industries to
try to find a solution to the
problem.
The President cited reports OF
one industry which shows that 1t
is producing 80 per cent as much
goods as in 1929, but 1t is en-
ploying only "a per cent as many
people, and payrolls are only IA
per cent Of the 1929 figure.
His conferences with industrial
representatives, he said, are being
held in an effort to find out why
there is such a difference between
production, number Of persons en-
ployed, and payrolls, and what can
be done to remedy the situation.
The goal Of the Administrators
employment program is to encour.
age industry to provide as many
Jobs as the Government work-re-
lief program, 3,50O,00G. Harry l..
Hopkins, Works Progress Admins
traitor, has assured the President
that the Government would reach
its goal during November, and that
direct relief allotments to States
will end next month.

Theme From Don Jum." by Richard Stouss.

"a suggestion for using and pre-

name at the top, and file them

DR.. Carl Engel, former head Of
the music division Of Library Of
Congress, was presented with the
annual medal Of the Elizabeth
Sprague Coolidge Foundation,
given for high achievement in the
field Of music, yesterday after
noon at the chamber music con-
cert in the music auditorium.
The concert, which was at
tended by many distinguished
guests, including Mrs. Franklin D.
Roosevelt, was given by the Kroll-
Britt-Sheridan Trio, made up Of
violin, cello and piano. In addi.
ton to the presentation Of the
medal, DR.. Engel was further hon.
ored by the inclusion Of one of
his compositions on the program,
"Triptych."
New Composition Heard
A Trio" by Walter Piston was
used to open the concert. This
work was commissioned by the
Library Of Congress and was
played in public for the first time
yesterday afternoon. This work
seemed to follow a modern trend
similar to the Bartok work heard
last spring. The form was angu-
lar in structure and contained
many nerve-wracking disSonanceS.
The last movement, Allegro mod
,erato, was built on q semblance
Of fugue form.
One hesitates to criticize these
modern compositions. In the light
Of history this is the usual ten
dency when any new type Of
music is heard. Brahms, whose
Trio No. 2 in c" was heard at
the end Of the program, was criti-
cized severely in his time.
Yet in listening to Brahms
after the Piston work, it was like
basking in the cheerful benef-
icence Of the warm sun after ex.
periencing combination earth
quake-Storm-auto wreck. If the
sole intent in presenting such
music is to obtain certain effects
in the mind of the listener, it
were easier done by listening to
traffic on a busy street and dodg-
ing drunken car drivers.
No word Of any furor in the
music world caused by the Bartok
work has as yet reached our ears.
These works prove interesting for
a single hearing: or, If it is like
learning to eat olives, one won
ders how many times one must
endure the playing Of such q piece
before one acquires . liking for
such music.
II there were any noticeable
form Of theme melodies to these
works, one might wish to study
them deeper. Evidently they are
designed principally to make q
passing impression and then fade
from sight.
Then, too, there is the difficulty
in finding any musicians who
seem to really put . whole-hearted
effort, into the Interpretation Of
these works. Even StravinSky'S
own playing never seemed to uS
very convincing.
After an ensemble Of musicians
have relieved themselves Of the
task of playing one Of these mod
ern works, what q difference may
be noted when they get on fa-
miliar ground such as the Brahms
Trio. Yesterday afternoon, the
trio Of musicians became more

"DOn Juan" Theme
The theme shown above from
the symphonic tone poem, Don
juan" by Richard Strauss, is in
cluded in the program of the next
concert Of the National Symphony
Orchestra, Sunday afternoon, at
4 o'clock in Constitution Hall.
Don Juan" is one of the earlier
works with which Richard Strauss
gained attention in the music
world. Excerpts from the literary
poem Of Nikolaus Lenau, q Hun
garian poet, were quoted by the
composer on the fly leaf Of the
score, leading to the assumption
that there are cryptic illusions to
some Of the activities Of Don Juan
in the music.
The story of Don Juan has been
treated by many writer's, and in
the case Of Lord Byron, especially,
some accuse the authors of writ
ing Of their own amorouS expert.
ences and aScribing them to the
Sevillan libertine of the Four
teenth century.
Taking the story on a higher
plane, one might imagine the
music picturing the hero in an
endless quest Of the one woman
who combines all his ideals Of
possible perfection.
The above theme is voiced by
the full orchestra near the open
ing of the tone-poem. It's We
hement questioning nature gives
rise to the idea that it was meant
as the motif Of desire. The theme
occurs at intervals throughout the
work.
Near the end of the piece may
be traced the theme of the story
when Don Juan reluctantly re-
turns to his senses and resolves
never again to allow his sensual
nature to dominate. In this state
of mind, he picks a quarrel and,
purposely dropping his sword. vel
comes the opportunity to make an
end of life.
A loud crash from the full or
chestra signals his death and
there follows q sort of dirge
theme to mourn even a deSpicable
character; the mourning gives
way to q more serene theme OF
complacence at the end.
