Gate this summer, has been kind
enough to write the following
article to be used during our
vacation:
Dear Mr.. Bemies: Some time
ago I read an article in your
World of Music" column suggest
ing a series of rhythmic dances.
A pupil and friend of mine be-
came much interested and asked
me, why rhythmic dances?" I
understood what he meant and
explained to him that all our
music is built upon a rhythmic
basis. But the rhythm may be
persistent, taking an almost un-
alterable form, as in the case of
Ravel's "Bolero." Not only the re-
peated melody and excellent in
Strumentation are important, buC
more so the rhythmic figuration
which gradually grows in, intens-
ity, exerting a hypnotic influence
over the listener.
Drums Cited a...
n The drums are the most
rhythmic instruments; a fixed
tone is not essential, only the
rhythm is vital; it probably ex-
listed before the notation of music,
as evidenced by the Indians and
other tribes Of primitive men the
world over. This music would
soon lose it's charm to the culti-
waited ear, therefore we must in
vent the melodic line and the har-
monic basis.

tions and we must be prepared

The Federal officials conferred
with Attorney General John P.

The suggestion Of possible tam

the crash, arose when Major S.

the plane developed motor trouble
shortly after the takeoff.

COMMENT ON THE WORLD OF MUSIC

lour challenge that we wanted con-
structive criticism of this column,
and the following is presented
with many thanks:
Dear Mr.. BemieS: It is rather
unusual for one to be in the posi-
ton Of criticising a critic, but I
have read your criticisms Of our
concerts from time to time and
have enjoyed them very much.
However, I have often wondered
why there is so little mention
made Of the work done by an indi-
vidual player during the per
formance Of the orchestral num-
bers; also I think the different
sections Of the orchestra as a
whole should receive mention
whenever they do creditable work
as a unit.
In other words. I think the
critic should criticise the orcheS-
ira as a whole, each section, and
each performer who has outStand-
ing work during the rendition Of

STEEL HOUSES
GROW|NGI IN
DEMAND

DETROIT, Sept. % U.N.S0.
New uses for steel which "tax the
imagiation" today held the center
Of interest at the $4,000, 900 iron
and steel exposition here as the
5000 delegates to the allied meet
Ing Of the association Of iron and
steel engineers toured the Great
Lakes steel mill where the widest
steel strips in the world are pro-
duced.
Many new uses, it was said, may
come from the new steel strip, 96
inches wide, turned out in a hot
rolling mill. The sheets now are
bein gused for all-steel motor car
tops and stamping of large body
panels. Possibilities for utiliza-
ton Of them in other industries
were described as almost limitless
by the engineers.
Growing Markets
Growing markets for steel also
were seen in the gooming auto
matte refrigeration industry, man
ufacture of steel houses, and in
producing steel plumbing ware.
Steel houses were said to be grow
ing more popular in the South be-
cause it was claimed, they were
able to withstand hurricanes and
termites. Most engineers here
agreed, however, prices Of steel
houses must be pounded down still
further for widespread adoption.
While most of the delegates Wis
tied the strip mill, others turned
Ito a big auto body plant here
where steel plunging ware, includ-
ing bath tubs, are stamped out
from one piece of steel. Officials
Of the company expected steel
plumbing ware to replace all cast
iron bathtubs.
History Told
The tour of the mill started
after George R. Fink, president,
sketched its history. In 1922 Fink
was selling Pittsburgh-made steel
to Detroit consumers when he de-
cided to build a plant nearer the
source of consumption. He
launched an independent COM
pany, later merged it with others,
and in 1929 it had assumed such
b place in the industry that Fink
was able to raise 10000, 600 for
expansion without a stock issue.
During the last two years the
company spent $20,000,000 more
in an Improvement program and
it was said to be the only major
steel company which weathered
the depression without taking a
loss in operations. It brought the
total capacity Of steel mills in the
Michigan area to about 5000, 1000
tons annually, or about half Of all
steel needed in automobile manu-
facture.
