WOULD PROHIBIT LIQUOR

A truly forward movement for the protection and betterment of their own race has emanated from Nulato, where the Indians sent in d petition signed by au oyerwhelm- ing majority of their people, to the proper officials in Juneau, protest ing vigorously against the indis- criminate sale of liquor to minors of both sexes, intoxicated persons. and individuals who cannot afford to spend money in that way. The petition strongly recommended that all existing liquor licenses be re- voked, and that the sale of liquor be prohibited on the grounds that it was a physical and moral detri- ment to the Indians.

 The diminishing fur crop of Louisiana since 1923 when about ] 15,000,O00 pelts were harvested and more than 2O,0OO trappers employ ed to the present 5,O0O has aroused both the fur interests and the gen eral public. The falling off of rev cnue former peak of $2O,000,O0O $ keenly felt in every line of business in the state. Salt water tides. storms, drouth and disease, in Mr. Cohen's opinion are responsible for the killing off of the fur bearing animals.

Inc worlds most popular SYM
phony, Beethoven'S Symphony
No. S." will be heard on the open
ing concert of the Symphonies
on the Potomac" series Sunday
night under the direction of Al
fred Wallenstein.
The average listener will in
variably say that he prefers to
hear descriptive or program music,
yet this greatest Of symphonies is
not descriptive nor is it titled. The
only clue to the composers
thoughts concerning the Fifth
Symphony" is his expression after
the work was finished, THUS Fate
knocks at the door,"
The persistence with which the
first theme shown above occurs in
the first movement serves admir-
ably as a musical expression of
the constant pounding of Fate.
The form of the symphony from
the time of Haydn to Beethoven
had developed into four parts, each
one viewing some phase Of life,
the first movement, aspiring reSo-
luton; the second, pathoS; the
third, humor, and the fourth,
triumph.
Unlike the "Eroica" Symphony
No. 3 Ito celebrate the memory Of
a great mani the Pastoral" Sym
phony No. 6 Con the memories Of
life in the country, and the Sym
phony No. 8, based on Schiller'S
lode to JOY" the Fifth Symphony
by its sublime dignity. vigor and
breadth rises above mere deScrip-
tive pictures to a spiritual plane
that touches the soul.
Whether one prefers program or
abstract music, the great popular
ity of the Fifth Symphony through
many generations of all classes Of
listeners, proves that abstract mu-
sic by such a master as Beethoven
has a lasting hold on all lovers of
music, There are depths OF
thought in it that may be faith
omed only by the most learned
and yet there is a magic spell in
this music that holds the atten-
ton of those who are little versed
in music.
The magic spell of this sym,
phony serves to make one long to
hear it over and over with a grow
ing appreciation for the deeper
thoughts contained in it. Thus
the Fifth Symphony serves admir-.
ably as an introduction to this
highest foiIn of orchestral music,
the symphony. Because of the
popular appeal Of outdoor summer
concerts, this symphony may be
used to advantage at least once
every season.
The Fate theme opens the first
movement played by the strings
and clarineEs in unison. On the
four notes Of this theme is erected
a powerful structure Of tone that
at times Is raging and mercileSS,
at other Zines it is disguised in
a more subtle expression.
The various woodwinds voice
the second theme shown above and
use it from time to time in pen.
Sive dia.og between the raging
utterance3 OF the Fate theme
The deadly four beat rhythm OF
the Fate theme dominates the
movement until it is used with all
the power of the orchestra at the
end.

Adjusting Children's
 Meals Mother's sWorry
Food Essential For Health, Growth Must Be Served Regularly-=State Health Officials Lunches Discussed

Adjusting the meal plan for chill dren, now that they are back in school and the summer regularity of meals is possibly interrupted, re- quires careful attention in order that the eating of foods which help health and growth will not also be interrupted, it was stated by Eliz- abeth c. Nickerson, director of the bureau of public health instruction of the state department of health, in the departments weekly broad cast today.
 Plan Lunch
 The distance between school and home may make 1t impossible for the child to return home for lunch, so instead of planning the noon meal the mother must plan school lunch. Most schools now make provision for the purchase of milk, the essential part of the meal, but the rest of the lunch must be chosen so that it is we'll balanced and appetizing, Miss Nickerson said, pointing out that sometimes. food suitable for the home meal must be specially pre- pared to make it suitable for a
