DID THE WHALE
SWALLOW JONAH?
From the Size of Colossus, Pro-
bably-But Whale Lore Might
Say Otherwise

COLOSSUS" the 6S-ton whale, Capt.
Harry White and the greatest col
lection ever assembled of both lv-
ing and dead sea monsters will
make the opening bow in Sank
Centre Saturday, August s. Amid
nautical surroundings that lend a
salty tang to the very atmosphere,
the gigantic marine exhibit will be
spread over a specially built rail-
road car over 100 feet long, and
will be placed on siding at the
Great Northern Depot. Old "Colos-
sus" himself takes up the biggest
chunk of this space, stretching 80
feet from his balloon filled jaws to
the tip of his flukes.
A crew of thirty attendants will
arrange to get everything in ship
shape for the engagement here.
Capt. Barnett, who has spent the
last so years of his life in whaling
in remote reaches of the seven
seas, will order the gang plank in
place when the last exhibit is set
up in preparation to introduce
thousands of Sank Centreites to
the first view of whales and whale
lore.
The Captain had a personal hand
in the capture of Colossus years
ago off the California coast and
since that time he has spread the
fame of his embalmed prima DON
ma from coast to coast, via print,
the lecture platform and radio. A
staff of uniformed attendants will
be on hand to give educational
talks on each feature of the show
and to answer any questions asked
by landlubbers, from 2 p. NJ, until
II P. NJ. The whale is only one of
the shows attractions. Also ex-
pected to excite the admiration of
the visitors is the Penguin family,
those rare Arctic birds. Only a few
specimens have been brought to
this country and the Eureka whal-
ing company is the first organiza-
ton ever to display publicly in a
nationwide tour of these comical
birds.
Other exhibits include live Chin
csc dragon lizards, man-eating
sharks, octopi, and many other
features.
The exhibit will remain here fore
one day and will be open to the
public from 2 P. NJ, until II p. NJ

IL DUCE PROCLAIMS
THE END OF LIBERTY

The following was written to the
Editor of Labor:
I have been reading the official
biography of Mussolini by M. G.
Sarfatti, and find the following
quotation from Mussolini himself:
"Fascism has already stepped,
and, If need be, will quietly turn
around to step once more over the
more or less putrid body Of the
Goddess of Liberty"
AS Mussolini has written a pre-
face to this book, the authenticity
Of the foregoing cannot be ques-
toned.
Fascism means the end of liber-
ty! Some of us have known that
since the beginning, but now we
have it on the authority of II Duce
himself.

the proportion of funds borrowed

The Brahms Symphony No. l." be-
cause it received more votes than any
other work and also because it is one
of the major compositions which Hans
Kinder, conductor, introduced to the
orcheStra's repertoire this season, will
occupy feature place on the program
The symphony was selected in the
most heated race of the voting cam
paign. Until the last day Of balloting,
it was second in running to Tchaikov-
sky's Sixth Symphony" the "Pathe-
tique." A final rush of votes, however.
gave the Brahms work total of 664
points to CAB for the Tchaikovsky
symphony.
Victory for Brahms was considered
remarkable not only. because the
"Pathetique" is a traditional concert
favorite, but also because Brahms fol-
lowers divided their votes among three
Of his symphonies. Votes cast for his
Second Symphony" gave that work
214 points and a large number of bal
lots were cast for his Fourth"
DR. KINDER has expressed himself
- as highly pleased with the voting
and. because Of the decided popularity
of the "Pathetique," has decided to
play. one of its most beloved move
ments, the ALLEGRO con Grazia, DUR
ing the second half Of the concert. He
also promises few surprises for the
program.
Following the results of the voting,

A feature of the voting this year
was the unusual interest in the heav-
ier forms of symphonic composition.
More votes were cast for symphonies
and for symphonic poems than for
other groups on the voting lists. In
addition to the winning Brahms Sym
phony and the "Pathetique." there
were 504 voting points cast for the
Beethoven "Eroica" and 1870 were cast
for the Shostakovich symphony No.
l." which the orchestra played this
season for the first time in Washing
ton. A large number of votes were
scattered among a score of other
symphonies, including, of course, the
Schubert Unfinished" which the or
chestra played at its final Thursday
concert 10 days ago, and the popu-
lar Cesar Franck ID Minor Sym
phony."
THE competition in the symphonic
poem field-in which Mr.. Shure's
suite was classed-was. though not so
close, even wider. Eight compositions
received more than 100 votes each.

which received 588 votes, was Mozart's
Zine Kleins Nachtmusik," with 364
votes, which DR.. Kinder included on
his last Thursday program. Smetana's
die Noldau" was given 352 points and
the suite from Bizet's Carmen" 223.
Others high in this group were Tchai-
kovsky's Romeo and Juliet" r.
Strauss "Don Juan" Bach's Suite in
B Minor" and Sibelius' EN- Saga"
In the overture contest, the "Eg-
mont" was followed most closely by
| Wagner's overture to 'Lohengrin,"
which received 3l0 points. Among
the next five, each of which polled
more than 200 points, was the elegiac
overture. "Chatterton," by Edward
Potter of Washington.
The excerpts from "Boriz Godou-
nov," which incidentally were ar
ranged by Dr. Kinder for symphonic
purposes, lead the large field of mis-
cellaneous requests. This work re-
ceived 270 points to 1873 for Debussy's
Afternoon of a Faun" and 1856 for
Wagner's Ride of the Valkyries."
The point system, used this year for
the first time, gave voters an oppor-
tunity to list not only first choices, but
second choices also. First choices
counted two points and second choices
one. So eager were some voters to
place their "favorite" on the program
as first choice" and again as Sec
ond choice"
THIS years request program affords
an interesting comparison with
last years, in that not single work
Flute" overture. by Mozart, was the
favorite overture, and Schubert's "Un-
finished Symphony" the chosen work
in that field. The Ride of the VAL
kyries" was placed on the program
last year, but this season was only
runner-up. The Largo" from
Dvorak's New World" Brahms Hun
garian Dance No. l." Sibelius' Fin
landia" and the Artists Life" waltz,
by Johann Strauss, were other popu-
lar selections that were played "by
request" last year.
Ravel's exotic "Balero" which the
orchestra has played on request pro-
grams in previous seasons, and which
was a great favorite last year, received
a total of six votes this year.
