The beauty about the crochet sug-
gestions offered In the Illustration

a short time to make and the cost
of the materials is trifing. The

one to suit every taste and require

ton Is received.
Tonight at $50 o'clock, Antonio
Brico, conductor Of the New York
Womens Symphony Orchestra,
will give a lecture at Wesley Hall
on the subject, Musical Attitudes
Here and Abroad"
When DR.. Wilhelm Furtwaeng-
Ter, the distinguished German
conductor was offered and had
accepted the post Of musical d.
rector Of the New York Philhar-
monte Symphony Orchestra, it
will be remembered that he was
forced to resign because Of those
who objected to him on the
grounds that he was q Nazi.
In further proof that DR.. Furt-
waengler Is a musician and not O
politician comes the report that
Chancellor Adolf Hitler has re-
lieved the conductor Of all his
duties as a conductor in Germany
next season. This action should
make the directors of the New
York Philharmonic feel strange
to say the least.

CALIFORNIA
G.0.P.RACE

SAN FRANCISCO, May 4 (U.SO.
California's bitter presidential pri-
mary contest has closed with the
States a. delegates in the Repub-
lican national convention as the
prize.
The election will be held tomor-
row. Then will be decided which
Of two contending groups shall
gain the right to represent the
State at Cleveland.
LandOn Seen Winner
Confidence was expressed in
many quarters that the winner
will be the forces which have been
aligned as the Landon delegation,
pledged definitely to his nomina-
ton.
They are individually recorded
under oath as preferring Gov. ALI
M. Landon of Kansas as their
choice for the presidential NOM
nation.
For months the record of Gov
ernor Landon has been presented
to the voters. He is now almost
as well known in California as in
his home State. The campaign
has been carried on the basis
Of Landon's service to Kansas
and his experience and successful
meeting of problems.
The Other Side
On the other side Of the Cali
fornia picture is the so-called
"uninstructed" d delegation, I'M
doubtedly sponsored by friends
Of former President Hoover.
The delegation is carrying a
socalled nominal candidate for
president who has openly ad-
mitted that if the delegation
wins, it will be released after the
first ballot for him in the ma
tional convention. This was done,
the Landon forces assert, in
evasion of the spirit, if not the
letter, of the State presidential
primary law.
This, the Landon forces assert,
is serving the Republican party
with a blank check. They declare
the presidential primary act was
intended to give the party voter
the right to know for whom he is
voting.
His Party'S Choice
A statement tonight signed by
the San Francisco delegates, en-
phaSized:
ut is well known that Repub-
Ncans generally look upon Gov
ernOr LandOn as the only man
available from every angle to
lead the party in the November
election.
1--WE urge upon all Republi-
cans the importance Of electing
the LandOn-pledged delegation,
pledged to carry ON from first
to last for his nomination"

Cattle Medicine Fatal

MORRISTOWN, N. J.-When
physicians he had consulted were
unable to rid him of an intestinal
disorder, Henry Buhr, 80, superin-
tendent of the Lushan Farms at
Chester, N. j., decided to try a
sulphate compound he had given
successfully to sheep and cattle
similarly afflicted. Buhr died in
agony 20 minutes after swallow
ing the liquid. County Physician
Mutchler said failure to dilute the
compound had caused death, but
that it would not have cured Buhr,
anyway.

A number of clever interpreta-
tive dances featured the program
of the dance concert given last
night by Marian Chase, Michael
Logan and their group of dancers
at the National Theater.
The most pretentious Offering
appearing last on the program was
American Horizons" in three cpl
sodes. The prologue gave glimpseS
of a nation hard at work in cease
less motion with the money-grab-
bers and politicians on the outer
edge. .
The second episode entitled
Mine Earnest Men," represented
the U. S. Supreme Court, with the
dancers appearing in gowns
wigs, and true-to-life false faces.
The action presented arguments
before the court, the formation OF
the decision, the minority decision
and the attempt on the part Of the
Chief Justice to bring about har-
mony. The false faces and action
were suggestive Of the late MIRA
decision.
The third episode, the epilogue,
again presented the common peo-
pie who were exhorted to line up
with a dictator but patriotism
causes q wholesale desertion and
they form another line to march
forward in renewed energy.
The "PuppetS-A Satire" was
a comedy take-off on ballet, free
