Pitching Questionable.

ONLY a single question mark-but
unfortunately an all-important
one-was hanging over the Capitals
newest diamond representative today.
That was pitching branch of base
ball that dragged potential first-di-
vision Washington team into the mire
of sixth place year ago, and the
phase of the game which will decide
the 1886 entry's fate.
Definitely, Washington fans can be
assured of the speediest ball club in
local history, band of 1o-second men
who conceivably could run wild, but
intelligently under the guidance Of
the cold, steely analyst that is Bucky
Harris. Definitely, Capital fans also
can be assured of club that is on
the upgrade-that is building for the
future upon squad that averages only
27 years Of age. Definitely can be
promised the most colorful team in
years.
There can be expected, with only
slightly less assurance, lineup that
will embrace enough batting power to
win pennant. If the rebuilding plans
OF President Clark Griffith and Man
ager Bucky Harris detracted from the
offensive of the hard-hitting 1885 edi-
tion, it was not apparent in an exhibi-
tion schedule that has embraced 20
games, 13 Of which were won.

The American Government does

UnwillingneSs Of the State De-
partment to grant even tacit rec

of the American arms embargo
against Italy and Ethiopia.
Officials watched with interest
today the movement in Great
Britain and other League of Ma

economic sanctions imposed
against Italy.
Ordered Arms Embargo
The State Department has with
held lifting of the arms embargo
chiefly for three reasons. Under
the terms of the neutrality act the
Government is obliged to declare
an arms embargo whenever a
state of war is considered to exist
between two countries. When
Italy's armed legions marched
across the borders of the ancient
African kingdom last october and
engaged Halle SelaSsie's warriors
in battle, this Government took
the position that state Of war
existed and slapped on an arms
embargo.

war between the two nations ap-

Reasons for Attitude
Nevertheless, the State Depart

the arms embargo. The reasons
are:
/. This Government did not
wish to take the initiative in
any move which might be con-
Strued as lifting sanctions be-
fore it became apparent what
the League of Nations intended
to do in respect to its own sane

The nations musical culture is
on the march, is the report that
DR.. Leopold StokowSki makes after
having travelled some IL 200 miles
in five weeks during which time
the Philadelphia Symphony Or
chestra played 36 concerts.
The audiences ranged in number
from 5000 to $4,000. with an aver
age of 5000 for each Of the SO
concerts. Mr.. Stokowski evidently
dropped out of his aloof and dig
nified character and actually frat
ernized with young musicians, con-
Quoted school orcheStraS, and dis
cuSSed all manner of music prob
lens with all manner of citizens.
And he claims to have gotten a
treasure of experience-in other
words a kick-out of it.
According to the Sunday New
York Times, Mr.. Stokowski be-
lieves that everywhere there ap-
pears to be a thirst for music
not only a desire to enjoy the
purely SenSory pleasure of listen
ing to beautiful tone or to revel
in sound woven into organic de-
sign, but to treat music as a chan
mel leading to cultural growth.
The responsiveness of our people
is more extended than it was a
few years ago. They seem to par
ticipate in the emotion and even
in the ecstacy of the music to a
far greater degree than formerly.
80 many have suffered during
these hard years, and out of their
suffering will come, I think, a
greater sensitivity, understanding
and tolerance. Our musical insti-
tutionS have not yet adjusted
themselves to the new conditions.
The public is no longer confined
to a small privileged class. Or
chestras and operas, save in the
summer out-of-door series, have
not made provision for extensive
audiences. We must have large
auditoriums. acouStically perfect,
so that we may sell tickets at low
prices. 1t should be possible for
everyone to come and hear"
In practically every community
in which the orchestra gave con-
cert, the lower-priced tickets that
sold for 81 or less were sold out.
In a few communities it was no
ticed that some of the top prices
we're scaled too high with front
rows empty. Mr.. Stokowski be-
lieves that this country is fast ap-
preaching a great musical age.
American painting and American
architecture have already been es-
tabliShed; but music, being so
much more ethereal, takes longer
to attain this status.

day afternoon, when she
jumped from a third-floor
window in the Northcross
Hotel, at Columbia and st.
Antoine. The injured wo--
man was rushed to Receiv--

II is believed that domestic
troubles motivated tho desperate
act. The young woman, it is re-
ported, had locked herself in her
room at the hotel and refused to
open the door, when her husband
knocked for entrance. When he
went to secure a key with which
to unlock the door, it is said the
wife in desperation jumped from
the window
Fortunately her fall was broken
when she struck the roof of a low
er building adjoining the hotel,
from which she rolled to the
ground between the walls of the
two buildings. Bruised, bleeding
and half-unconscious, the injured
woman was taken into the hotel
and given first aid treatment, pend~
ing the arrival of the ambulance.
