A dignified, elderly lady was cross

Rejoices at Prospect
OF Summer Concerts

To the Editor Of The Times:
I am very glad to hear that all
the arguments have been settled
in regard to the National Sym
phony Orchestra and that the
summer concerts will begin on

Hans Kinder is doing a wonder
full thing in bringing to the people
of Washington, during the sum
mer months, the good music which
he has provided for them through
out the winter. This is the first
season in the history of the orches
ira that summer concerts have
been arranged and I surely hope
that music lovers of Washington

the people of the District of Co

Too Many Horns,
Art Protests

To the Editor Of The Times:
Honk-honk-honk! That's all
I hear as I drive through the
streets. If I get behind two or
three cars that are jammed up be-
cause some addlepate UP ahead
has got himself baIled UP, then a
second addlepate has to toot his
horn right at the back Of my
head-as if it were my fault.
Usually it's a cab driver, Of which
there are too many anyway for
them all to make a decent living
They used to say the better the
driver the less he needs a horn.
Doesn't it hold good any more?
