that does not require too great a
concentration on their part or too
much emotional awakening. They
are fearful that they will be asked
to sit through some long drawn out
composition so hard to follow or some
modern composers opus that doesn't
make sense, with so little OF that
nice, pleasant music so soothing to
listen to.
But if they would realize that music
was not given to mortals simply as
a pastime. but that it is an express
sion of life itself, of its joys and
sorrows, its ideals and its promises,
of regrets and of comfort, they would
find it not only absorbing, according
TO their present understanding. but
capable of revealing unlimited treas
ures according to their receptivity.
And. what is more, they would find
themselves led by a gentle but in
visible hand. step by step, on a path
way of multiple beauty. On every
side new vistas would open that would
create a desire to see more. But If
they are not willing to Cooperate,
if they insist on staying hemmed
in by what they already know. they
will remain revolving within a narrow
sphere that eventually will bring
fatigue and safety to themselves.
CCHIMA KAUFMAN, in his book.
- "Mendelssohn," has pictured the
public attending Mendelssohn's first
appearance as conductor of the Dus-
seldorf Festival in way worthy OF
contemplation at this time.
For miles around the roads were
choked with a swarming humanity
they came in ever-increasing numbers,
sWeltering hordes in sehnellpost. car
riages, hay-racks, wagons and afoot.
The sun beat down with venomous
binding relentlessness and the heat
mounted by the quarter hour. But
the boisterous. good-natured rustics,
intent on extracting the utmost in
enjoyment from the musical field
day-were impervious to every dis
comfort. BY water they came. too.
noisy, animated crowds In steamers
and skiffs. Nothing could strain the
patience of these music-hungry thou
sands.
They had waited whole year for
this event and the ardor of their high
spirits could not be dampened. From
they poured into the bulging city,
quartering with relatives, friends and
even strangers. The hotels overf1owed
with their uncomplaining guests to the
very kitchens, crowding eight or ten in
a room and five or more in a bed, for
the visitors were eager to embrace
every moment on the morrow when
the first concert was to take place"
Within the assemblage presented
a brilliant contrast. Fragile aristo-
cratic ladies in diaphanous ball room
frocks sat amidst toil-coarsened peas
ant women wearing tiny black caps
with yards OF ribbon streaming from
them. Officers in tight-fltting uni
forms were wedged between dirty stu
dents in tattered velvet jackets and
immaculate. pompous little manu-
facturers"
Mendelssohn played for this audi
ence the Pastoral Symphony" and
the "Leonore Overture" among other
things, and amid prolonged fanfares
and jubilant pandemonium the mob
applauded frantically." Here is a
picture of an audience which was not
fearful of the music it would hear and
a conductor who did not ask, What
does the public want?''

BIG u. 5. STEEL
PROFIT SEEN
International News Service

o. S. Steel Corporation, at the
directors meeting next Tuesday,
will report the biggest quarter earn
ingS in seven years, International
News Service learned in informed
quarters yesterday.
Net for the first three months
ended March 81 is placed in the
neighborhood of $34,500,000 after
taxes and charges, but before pre-
ferred dividends. Allowing for the
regular SITS rate on the senior
issue, this would be approximately
1925 share on the common stock.
The last time earnings Of this
amount we're shown in a quarter
was in the first three months Of
1880, when net of $35, TIT ,807 was
equal to $3.44 a share on the COM
mon. Net in the last quarter of
1886 was $20,651, 900, equivalent
to $1.65 a common share, while
in the first quarter Of 1886, when
floods were costly, net was the
equivalent of only "a cents a share
on the preferred.
The report will be better than
recently expected in Wall Street,
1t was learned, where estimates
had been of $30.000,000 net equi-
valent to around SITS on the
common. High rate of cement
production, of which United
States Steel is one of the nations
biggest producers, and gains in
the ore transportation and min
ing divisions contributed to the
gains along with the near capac-
ity steel and iron output in the
first quarter.
The big earnings gain and in
dications that this will continue
in the second quarter as we'll in
view Of high current operations
raises the possibilities of early
action to clear up preferred &C
cumulations, These amount to
1925 a share, or around $32,500,-
900, more than covered in the
first quarter.

fore they began to "sterilize" the gold, it
resulted in swelling excess reserves and an
enormous initiation potential. Now, under
the sterilization policy, it results in steady
additions to the Government debt incurred
for the purpose of buying and carrying the
gold in an inactive account.
Naturally, therefore, rumors of steps to be
taken to stop the gold inflow keep coming
out The latest ones seem to lean to the idea
that it may be we'll to impose some sort of
a tax or penalty charge upon gold imports

 As Koc outlined 1t, the new move- ment is one designed to unite people of all classes and political parties, on an appeal to pure patriotism. Its officers are to be designated by the government, and none are to be elected by the rank and file of the organization.
 Government spokesmen, explain ing the scope of the new movement, said it would not be 8 political party and would not affect the existing parties, government or opposition. It was described as something of an experiment aiming at stimulating patriotism.
 Koc said that the Roman Catholic religion would continue to predom- mate. He emphasized that all de- nominations would be tolerated.

 Col.

At once war veterans or ganizations began announcing their adherence.
 A chief point of the movement which Koc sponsored was unrelent- ing oppositio nto communism; an- other the cooperation of all elements of the national life and elimination of the class struggle.
 Government newspapers welcomed today the new movement of which Ridz-Smigly was believed the spirit ual father. Right-wing nationalist newspapers, however, were not friendly. One, "ABC." appeared with blank spaces because three ar ticles on the movement were cen- sored. and some headlines were

State Police Protect Slayer Of Young Girl
Twenty-Year-OId Wayward Son of Wealthy Family Is Guarded Against Lynch Threat-Admits
 His Crime of Brutality

West Chester, Pa, Feb. 22-(UP)- Alexander Meyer, 20, wayward and backward son of a wealthy family, schemed in his cell to- day how he could beat a charge of murdering a 16 year old girl. A heavy detachment of state police guarded him because of talk of lynching.
 Meyer showed no remorse whatso- ever, jail attendants said, and was sure that he would never go to the electric chair. He had confessed readily, authorities said, that he de- liberately ran down Helen Mover, 16, near Coatesville with a truck, car ried her to an abandoned farmhouse where he assaulted her. threw her body into & well, and threw in two sticks of dynamite after her, hoping to conceal his crime forever.
 Seek Other Victims
 Authorities checked back on all sex crimes in this vicinity over the past few years, believing that the desires which caused Meyer to cruise country roads looking for a girl "any girl" whom he could run down and then assault, may have driven him to other offenses.
 Meyer was paroled from Hunting don reformatory last summer where he had served two years of an inde- terminate sentence for sex crime resembling the staying of Miss Mover. Two girls were visiting on a farm near the country estate of his
