Concerts Will Be Object
in Drive.
BY the Associated Press.


STOCKBRIDGE. Mass. August l6
Directors of the Berkshire Sym
phonic Festival today launched a
campaign for a permanent building
to house concerts which in the past
have been given either in the open
air or under huge tents.
The directors. supported by Serge
Koussevitzky, conductor OF the famed
Boston Symphony Orchestra, took
steps to have the building erected at
Tanglewood, permanent home OF the
festival.
Although the acoustics at concerts
staged this Summer proved superb,
partly due to the accidentally excel
lent qualities Of the temporary wood
stage, the canvas proved no protec-
ton against the noise Of the rain.
Yesterdays last-day audience of
1900 brought the total attendance up
to approximately 27,oo0 for the six
concerts 1t practically assured the
management that its $4,000 budget
would be met.
Miss Gertrude Robinson Smith of
the festival board announced a sub
scription campaig ign for a permanent
building which will cost, it is esti-
mated. about 100000.
The festival will be repeated next
year. with six concerts scattered over
two weeks.

BY SLEEPING SICKNESS
Serious Epidemic Reported in
King George County as Many
Animals Die.
By the Associated Press.

by tTF Associated Press.
FREDERICKSBURG, Va, Angus
l6.-A serious epidemic" Of eou1ns
encephalomyelitis, type of sleeping
sickness affecting horses. was reported
to be prevalent in King George County
today by DR.. r. T. Gregory, local
veterinarian.
A considerable number of horses and
mules in King George have been
stricken since the disease was discov-
cred last week and many have died.
Animals affected by the disease,
which is believed to be spread by
mosquitoes, develop blind staggers and
die within short time unless serum is
administered at the first symptoms,
DR.. Gregory said.
DR.. Gregory stated that it was DIFF
ficult to SECURE serum here because Of
an epidemic of the disease in the
Western States which had used most
of the available supply.
The outbreak appears to be confined
to King George County at present.
although DR.. Gregory said he hid re-
ports of some cases in Stafford a'd
across the Potomac River in Mary
land.

OF bill to remove families with
small incomes from Stun and hous-
ing conditions which are injurious to
the health and safety Of the citizens
OF the Nation"
The measure an altered version Of
the Senate-approved Wagner housing
bill, would allow the Federal Gov
eminent TO assist States and their
political subdivisions in providing de
cent. safe and sanitary dwellings,"
The committees report said it was
believed housing can be provided
under the terms Of this bill for an
income group which will average well
under 200 per year"
Tenants who would OCCUPY the nroi-
ecs, 1t was estimated. would have
to pay about SIS per cent of the rent
Federal and local contributions would
take care of the remaining As per
cent.
The measure was changed materially
from the form in which it passed the
Senate, where cost limit of S. 900
per room and $4,000 per dwelling unit
was imposed.
The House Committee substituted a
provision that the cost of dwelling
units should be no greater than the
average cost for privately-constructe
housing OF similar character. In anv
event, the cost could not exceed s.. 900
a unit.
The use of such an average fig
ure. the committee said. will provide
snfflcient flexiblitv to permit the or
Grafton OF this limitation. notvith-
standing differences in construction
cost depending upon the geographical
location and the size of the city in
