LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

They know only one speed, and
that is low gear; they act as If
they never heard of second or
high gear. They forget that they
are elected to do the will of the
people, and that the more time
they waste, the more money it
costs the people.
It seems that old age is obStruct.
ing the path of human progress.
All men of SIS or so years of age
should be forced to retire from
active life, so that the coming
young generation can have a
chance to work and make an hon
est living.
The channel of life from youth
to old age must be kept open, so
that there may be a constant flow
of progress. But now we find q
condition where the end represent
ing old age is completely blocked
by those who refuse to give up,
and therefore the young genera
ton has no chance, they have
run up against the stone wall of
old age; there is no outlet at that
end.
There is no way of stopping the
end representing birth and youth.
How then may we expect human
progress to continue unless the
River of Life is kept open and
flowing at both ends?
c. r. BRYAN.

Says NeV Deal
Is Bound to Win

To the Editor of The Times:
For the past week. since the
eve r-to-be-remembered Supreme
Court decision, the press has
been filled with many comments
as to the future course of the
New Deal. Let me say that the
New Deal is going to win in this
country and Franklin D. Roose-
welt is going to be the standard
bearer in this struggle of the
masses against the classes.
Much has been said of late by
Senator Borah from Idaho about
saving the Constitution. Where
has Mr.. Borah been all this
time? Why did he not realize
the plight of the economic side
of the country during the last
five years of Republican rule?
Where were Mr.. Borah and other
critics of the New Deal when
capital was grossly exploiting
labor for its own selfish gain.
20 We hypocrites, We can de-
ceive the face of the sky, but
We can not deceive the signs
of the times" I confess I
don't know much about con.
Stitutional laws. but I do say
the signs of the times point
to a new social and economic
order in this country. PreSi.
dent Roosevelt is destined by
the natural laws Of God to lay
the foundations for this new

HOPKINS RULES
RELIEF JOBS
international News Service


Harry L. Hopkins, who has doled
out more than two billion dollars
from the U. S. Treasury in the
past two years as Federal Emer-
gency Relief Administrator, was
intrenched firmly today as key
man in the four billion dollar
work relief program.
President Roosevelt's executive
orders prescribing rules and regu-
lations for the works program
placed the entire selection of those
to be employed in Mr.. Hopkins
hands.
The first to be given jobs will
be from the relief rolls of May.
and next those who become
eligible for relief subsequent to
May, 1885,"
Another section of the order
shows more clearly the Hopkins
influence. It provides that per-
sons who have been employed on
projects conducted by State emer-
gency relief administrations and
continued by State progress ad-
ministrationS, and who are
otherwise eligible" may be given
employment on the work relief
program.
But no such provision is made
for persons who have been en-
ployed on Public Works Admins
tration projects, on CCC. on roads
and highways, on Federal housing,
or any other of the numerous pro-
grams.

Maryland Club

To have a successful night club
business it is necessary to have
many different features. And
that is exactly what Maryland
Club Gardens can boast Of.
Dining and dancing on a ter
race surrounding a beautiful
swimming pool, the only bar in
these parts where you can &C.
tually see your drinks mixed, en-
tertainment conducted from a
specially constructed platfor m
over the water and many other
such features can be found at
this suburban spot.
This week the entertainment is
headed by that well-known must
cal comedy team of Don and
Ruth Marshall, whose tap rou-
tines are the smoothest yet seen
on the floor. And pushing the
above for top honors is Miss
Vivian Ingram, a former singer
in New York opera. The music
is supplied by AL Barley and his
orchestra.

Alcohol Won't Keep
You Cool

To the Editor OF l"s .... -
Hot weather will soon be with
us. And the restaurants of Wash
ington are advertising gin drinks"
to cool one off.
I wish to state that alcohol in
any form is the worst thing one
can take in hot weather. Iced tea,
lemonade or, better yet, cold
water with no ice in it are the
drinks that are best suited.
Persons consuming alcohol in
hot weather are shortening their
lives.
And the mint julep, while delec-
table, is deadly. I fear that my
advice will be wasted. but feel
should give it in the hope of saw
ing foolish persons against them
selves.

Senate to Pass
Utility Bill Monday
international News Service


President Roosevelt's demand
for dissolution Of giant holding
corporations in the public utility
field appeared headed today for
Senate approval with Admin
stration leaders predicting passage
of the Wheeler-Rayburn bill Mon
day.
While the Senate enjoyed a
weekend recess, opponents of the
bill conceded defeat. There were
indications the bill would pass the
Senate by a two-to-one vote, since
Senator Wheeler 3D. of Mon
tana, co-author of the bill,
had accepted amendments which
sharply modified the most Strin-
gent sections.

ton of the program will be pre-
sented by the United States Army
Band under the leadership Of

known Mexican tenor, Luis Al
varez.
The program will consist Of
numbers from most of the coun-
tries of Latin America, and Will
include several compositions
played for the first time in the
United States.
Widespread interest is being
manifested among lovers of vocal
music in Washington over the re-
cent announcement that another
Metropolitan Opera Quartet will
give an all-operatic program in
this city at Constitution Hall next
season as one Of the attractions
of the series of five evening con.
certs to be given by Mrs. Dorothy
Hodgkin Dorsey.
This interest IS particularly
keen among those who had the
good fortune to hear the perform
ance last November of the Metro
politan Opera Quartet of 1934-35,
consisting of Grace Moore, so
prano; Edward johnson, tenor;
Rose hampton, contralto: and
Richard Bonelli, baritone.
AS Edward Johnson, the tenor
of last sons quartet, has just
taken over the task Of directing
the activities of the entire Metro
politan Opera Company, he has
necessarily withdrawn from the
concert stage. His place will be
taken, it is expected, by Charles
Hackett, leading tenor of the
Metropolitan.
In the place of Grace Moore,
soprano, Helen JepSon will join
the quartet for next season. Miss
Jepson is a spectacular new art
list, who made her debut with the
Metropolitan Opera last January
at the premiere of I'm Pasha's
Garden" and has also attained
fame via the radio.
The contralto and baritone
parts in the quartet's perform
ance will be handled, as in that
of last season, by Rose hampton
and Richard Bonelli, both of the
Metropolitan Opera, who were
credited nth much of the sue
cess of the organization last sea-

Many wisecracks are poked at
the absent minded antics of poets
and musicians because part of
their stock in trade is. the ability
to dream and convey their dreams
to others. "Traumerei," the theme
of which is shown above, is a
musical dream poem.
Some have an idea that every
phrase of music conveys Q definite
message to those who know music:
music can hardly express an idea
as accurately as the printed word
but as a dream may be interpreted
in many ways, so music may Gre
ate a certain impression on the
mind of the listener.
Two parallel examples may be
used in delineating "Traumerei."
Heating. the poet. said, "A thing
of beauty is Joy forever" Schu-
mann, the musician, expressed the
same idea with the theme which
rises slowly to high note. then
descends to rise and descend in a
beautiful melody that has re-
manned "a joy forever"
The poet continues, Its lowell
ness remains: it will never pass
into nothingness." The composer
repeats his melody up and down
without any hint of monotony but
with increasing interest. Again the
poet says, But will still keep a
bower quiet for us, and a sleep
full of pleasant dreams-and
health, and quiet breathing" The
musician seems to take the list
ener into the very heights Of
heaven and send it back again to
mother earth; then up to the
heights of contemplation and
back again to the depths of earn
est thought.
Eleanor Bagwell Harris, soprano,
and John Paul Jones, baritone,
will give a recital tomorrow night
at 8 o'clock in the garden OF
the Arts Club, the weather per

Over three thousand musicians
will play in Washington during
the Shrine Convention. These
bandsmen will be heard in some
seventy odd military bands, bugle
and drum corps, and oriental
bands. Possibly the greatest mu-
steal novelty will be the oriental
bands which consist of musetteS
"a simplified oboe), drums, GYM
balls and other percussion inStru-
mentS.
The largest of these oriental
organizations will be the Syria
Temple, Pittsburgh, Oriental Band
of IS pieces; the Medinah Temple.
Chicago, Oriental Band of Sc
pieces; and the Yarab Temple,
Atlanta, Oriental Band of 40
pieces. The music used by these
organizations is largely original
with each band as there are prac-
tically no printed compositions
published for this unique instru-
mentation.
Some of the larger Shrine or
carnations Will be represented by
all three types of bands and a
chorus of chanterS. A real bag
pipe band from St. Johns, New
Brunswick. Canada. will be in the
parades. The military bands will
combine to form a massed band
of over $500 players to give a
concert Wednesday afternoon at
1870 o'clock on the Ellipse.
The first of the series of out.
door concerts annually presented
by the Pan American Union will
be given Tuesday night at 9
