Hout in the avowed action DR..
Leopold Stokowski is taking in
reSigning from the dictatorship
of the Philadelphia Symphony
Orchestra in order to do research
work in music, mentioning eSpe-
cially the field of Swingmusic.
A few decades ago, the waltz
emerged from the status of
strictly dance music to that Of
classical concert music. Witness
the VienneSe waltz. The Strauss
father and son are commonplace
on symphonic programs today.
The true VienneSe waltz has no
obvious accent, neither does
swing-music.
With some of the most serious
musicians of the country be-
coming interested in the swing
music rhythm, there will doubt
less emerge a classical art form
that will be perpetuated just as
the VienneSe waltz. Art to be
truly great must always appro-
pirate that element that touches
the humbleSt mentality. Swing
music gives evidence of being
the vehicle on which popular
music and classical art may join
together in producing lasting
beauty.
We shall be pleased to publish
any statements readers may have
in further explanation of swing
music, or we shall try to answer
questions on swing-muSic that may
be in doubt.
Tito Schipa, the Italian operatic
tenor, returned to the United
States last week after a season in
Italy, and among his first acts
here, completed plans for an ap-
pearance next winter with the
National Symphony Orchestra in
Washington.
Mr.. Schipa has an engagement
with DR.. Hans Kinder, conductor,
and the National Symphony Or
chestra for October Is, at Consti-
tuition Hall. This will be at the
orchestra's second Sunday after
noon concert of the 1936-37 season.
The noted tenor has always
been popular in Washington, but
because of a years absence from
the American music scene, his visit
here next October will be not only
an important, but also a gala occa-
sion.
From London, where the con-
ductor has been filling a several
days engagement with the Brit
ish Broadcasting Company, comes
word that DR.. Kinder is arrang-
ing an all-Italian program for the
day of Mr.. Schipa's appearance.
There will be arias from several
of the famous Italian operas in
which the tenor has had leading
roles. The orchestra will enter
into the spirit of the occasion
with appropriate instrumental
music. DR.. Kinder is planning
to bring into the program some
representative Italian works, in
CAuOAAAS PACCCo Wy VIC CcIAAy AAAoo"
tiers, and the modern composers,
too. There will probably be a
Rossini overture, and excerpts
from one of Claudio Monteverde's
operas of the Sixteenth century.
Other composers, such as Per-
golesi, Boccherini and Paisiello,
of the Seventeenth nd Eight
zenith centuries, will be placed
alongside of Verdi, Donizetti, Lo-
oncavallo and Puccini.
A tribute to the most widely
known Of contemporary Italian
musicians, Ottorino Respighi, who
recently died, will be given in
this program.
With Schipa's name now added
to the long list of celebrities al
ready engaged to enhance next
winters National Symphony sea-
son, advance requests for season
tickets will doubtless reach q new
high.

Why does swing music swing
when it does not have any &C.
cented beat? One of the main
reasons why popular dance music
is not generally considered CLASH.
cal music is that the accents are
too conspicuous and obvious. The
strongly accented music, of course,
appealed to those who had little
or no training in music.
But now the educational back
ground of the masses has changed,
due largely to the universal hear
ing of both popular and classical
music via the radio. The average
person is now able to appreciate
and dance to music that is not so
obviously accented.
In the Biguine rhythm, the first
shown above, the accent
has diminished until only the
first quarter of a beat is played
louder than the remaining seven
divisions of time. The Indy Hop.
shown in the second example.
places a stress upon the after-beat
and thus the obvious doWn-beat
accent is eliminated.
Finally the strong down-beat
and the after-beat are dropped
and in their place a
compromise is made resulting in
the swing-music rhythm shown in
the third example. The after-beat
becomes a roll or simmer tied to
the beat on which the accent
would be expected to occur, but
does not.
With the monotonous and too
obvious drum and banjo beats
finally eliminated, the perform
ers in a modern orchestra are
given more lee-Way in presenting
improvisationS. The skill with
which these improvisations are
will eventually deter
mine whether or not a work may
be classed as popular or classical
music.
Wayne King, popular modern
orchestra leader, claims emphati.
cally that much of the So-called
popular music that is now being
turned out is in fact classical.
His contention seems to be borne

with one of these complications
attempt to reduce without the aid
Of a physician. It must be re-
membered that, with heart trouble
and high-blood pressure, one must
reduce very slowly and with great
caution.
Since overweight can bring
about so many complications, pre-
cede your reducing with physical
examination. Deposits of fat
blanketing the vital organs place
an additional tax upon them and
interfere with efficient function
ing. 1t is essential to know just
where you stand with adipoSe
tissue.
The line between normal weight
and overweight is very finely
drawn, because 10 to Is per cent
above the accepted averages may
be normal for certain individuals
whose structure warrants more
weight. However, Is per cent is
considered obesity, In general, 10
to Is per cent overweight may
ruin StreamlineS; 20 per cent may
constitute a threat to health, and
IS per cent is a distinct health
liability. So don't take your over
weight lightly!
In Sedentary life it is easy to
overeat. You may be eating what
seems to be only a moderate
amount Of food, but if you con-
tinue to gain weight you are eat
ing in excess of your needs. It is
evident that your food habits are
not adjusted to your energy re-
quirementS. This food excess may
be ever so slight, but if continued
year after year it will in time lead
to obesity.
Embonpoint is listed on the
debit side of health's ledger, so
enlist your doctors cooperation
and get rid of it.

ports within flying range Of Spain,
in order to prevent the entry Of air
craft, was deferred pending ap-
prevail or disapproval Of several gov
ernments affected.
Angry Dispute Expected
It was believed possible that an
angry dispute would mark the meet
ing Of the subcommittee on foreign
volunteers among Germany, Italy
and Portugal on one side, Russia
on the other, due to the intense
desire Of these nations to ensure
victory for the nationalists and
loyalists respectively and their de-
sire to offer them substantial assist
ance.
The situation was admittedly q
dangerous one. First news reached
British sources that German au-
thorities were cognizant Of the dis
patch Of between 5000 and 5000
Germans to Join the nationalist
forces. But also information
reached London that tank units
were being recruited. 1t was as
serted that tank men and men from
other German military contingents
were already hurrying to Spain.
In Spanish Uniforms
AS fast as they arrived, this In
formation said, the Germans were
being given Spanish uniforms. It
was charged also that their arms
were being transported separately
from Germany and that from Ger
many also were going air craft,
tanks, expert officers and men, in
addition to rifles, bayonets and re-
volvers. The Manchester Guardian
asserted that Germany sent arms
to Spain in Spanish steamer. The
allegation was that the steamship
unloaded at Hamburg a cargo Of
empty orange crates. Nazi storm
troops, pledged to secrecy, acted as
lockers, the newspaper said. The
crates, 1t was alleged were filled
with ammunition and put back
aboard the ship-the pretense being
that the oranges were spoiled and
must be sent back to Spain.

called for Mr.. Roosevelt to make a

bombs mostly incendiary, dropped in
the Arguelles, Moncloa and Rosales
districts.
1t was impossible to ascertain the

over the city In bright moonlight,
dropping great bombs in the western
section, and the thunder Of the big
guns In the suburbs reechoed
throughout the city. In battle OF
the fiercest sort, the nationalist
seemed to have thrust vainly at the
loyalist lines. And while on the
fighting line the militiament held
the nationalists, In the city there
