Reading a good book sometimes
releases a little of that pent-up
energy, that might lead one to do
something that isn't right. Some
of the novels by Guy DeMaupas-

reading some of them decided that
Mr.. Coleman was right when he
said that the novels weren't OBJ

The entire program was devoted
to the more conservative works of
Brahms, opening with the GUAR
tet in C Minor, Opus 81, No. l."
The Gordon Quartet, using the
golden-voiced StradivariuS inStru.
mentS, gave a most effective pre-
Sentation of this work, character
lied by beauty of tone and con-
certed results. The triple rhythm
section of the third movement
showed a light mood in contrast to
the more serious and melodic
whole.
For sheer beauty Of instrumental
tone, violin and piano sonata has
many advantages over the con-
certo. The artist is not compelled
to bend so great effort to overcome
the technical difficulties of the dis
play passages usually introduced
in the latter. Jacques Gordon, ac-
companied by Frank Sheridan at
the piano, gave magnificent read
ing Of the Sonata in D Minor,

Birth Control Myth
Saws DIR. FiShbein

Amid gales of laughter, DR..
Morris Fishbein, editor Of the Am
erican Medical Association Journal
detailed the changes which have
taken place in the American home
since 1890 and then, striking a
more serious note, exploded myths
concerning a perfected method Of
birth control in an address last
night to the National Jewish
Forum at the Jewish Community
Center.
Back in 1890, DR.. Fishbein re-
lated, home life consisted Of get
ting up before dawn, eating a
cereal, going to work, then return
ing home, maybe playing a little
cribbage and at 8 p. M, to bed.
But today, DR.. Fishbein said,
home is "just a house in front Of
the garage"

He detailed I'VE work until 2
p. m, play little golf, go home
and eat, play bridge, then go to
a night club and return about 2
a. m, wondering where the chill
dren are and when they will get
home"
In case Of sickness, he said, the
patient is shipped from his home
to a hospital because of interfer-
ence with bridge and radio.
He declared that today I'VE are
born in hospital, married in
church, die in an automobile, and
are buried from a mortuary."
Complaints against the medical
profession for holding out" on a
perfected method of birth control
were told by the speaker who then
declared there is no perfected
method of birth control.

The Weingartner arrangement
of Weber's Invitation to the

tion that the "VorSpiel" and "Liebe-
Stod" from Tristan and ISold,

cert orchestral version instead Of
the vocal accompaniment which
was to have supported the voice
of Lotte Lehman.
DR.. Kinder is to be commended
upon presenting the prelude to
the third act Of Tristan and
Isolde" as it is seldom heard and
provided a most interesting dis
play of the voice of the English
horn. The long English horn solo

lowing which he was forced to

FEW CHANGES
TO Be MADE
IN CABINET
By EARL GOODWIN

Along with the Presidents re-
turn to Washington there comes
a clap of White House thunder
which knocks into a cooked hat
all the various "inSide stories"
about Cabinet changes, new secre-
taries and strange appointments
in general.
The Administration chiefs let
it be known that there is not
going to be any wholesale
changes.
The stories of the new faces in
the offices of the Presidents Sec
retaries, MesSrS. Early and McIn-
tyre, seem to be getting the laugh
in the close Administration cir
cles where they konw what is
going on.
Voluntary Basis
There may be designations from
the Cabinet-but if so they are to
be looked on as courtesy matters.
The President appoints these Of
ficials without a time limit. The
individual Cabinet officials will be
the judges of their conduct as to
designations. If any of them feel
they should give the President a
chance to get someone elSe-they
will do so voluntarily.
Stories of new secretaries to re-
place MAC" and "Steve" have
been rumored and printed; the
facts are there will be no one else
in the places of these two secre-
taries right away at least.
There is more or less basis for
the yarn about Jimmie" RooSe.
velt coming here to be a White
House aid or secretary-but moth
ing definite. It was truer several
months ago than it is today.
The President is not represented
as having an iron clad Cabinet
which will go through the next
four years intact; but there will
be no sudden overturn.
It is possible that a new Secre-
tary of War will be appointed. It
is to be recalled that Secretary of
War Woodring is definitely an
"ad interium" appointment and it
was so explained when the Presi-
dent changed him for legal
reasons from acting secretary to
secretary.
McNutt Eyed Here
The presence of Governor Nc
Mutt of Indiana here yesterday
gives rise to the suppoSition that
he may succeed his American
Legion colleague now on the job.
There is a rumor that Post
master General Farley will resign
to go into private business. Those
who know Mr.. Farley are inclined
to deny this as an imminent move.
In general, changes in the
secretariat and the cabinet will
not take place at the beginning
of the next ADMINISTRATION; if they
occur, it will be later in the year.

The disappointment over the
sickness of Lotte Lehman caus-
ing her non-appearance at the
concert in Constitution Hall Of
the National Symphony Orchestra
yesterday afternoon was in part
made up when DR.. Hans Kinder
substituted Schubert'S Unfinished
Symphony" in place of the group
of songs programmed.
There is a quirk in human
nature that causes individuals in
an audience to give way to ap-
plause when such a well-known
work as the Unfinished Sym
phony" is announced. Whether it
would be better for symphony con-
certs to be made up of popular
repetitions or Of new works is not
at all a settled matter.
One wonders just what the audi
ence applauded for. Could it be
for the same reason that when
q familiar work is played unan-
nounced as in an encore, the
audience upon recognition Of the
piece, bursts out in applause? In
the final analysis, such bursts Of
applause are not for the per-
former but rather the individuals
of the audience are applauding
themselves for their own ability
to recognize the music.
Be that as it may, the audience
thoroughly enjoyed the Schubert
symphony and were content with
the promise that Lotte lehman
would appear in another National
Symphony concert in the near
future when her voice will have
fully recovered. The extensive
violoncello work in this symphony
was played with a beautiful tone
and unity of effort.
