1t was the third time March was
arrested for a similar ofiense in four
years. and the second time he was
sent to Jail for it. Last time he was
in for eight months, until the court
forced the vaccination of one of his
children.
The South Mountain hired man
stroked his 20 days beard today. when
Jail attendants suggested he was bull

went blind after a vaccination some
years ago, he protested.
Physicians asserted the blindness
was not due to the vaccination. but
Mr.. March spat into a corner OF his
cell and said he knows better"
His son Eugene is Z. March refused
to send the boy to school when the
teacher said he would have to be in

They went up into the mountains
and brought him back to jail. A
magistrate sentenced him to five days.
March would not give in" and drew
five more. That's the way it has
been ever since. And that's the way
his sentence ran up to eight months
four years ago when he refused to
allow another Of his children to be
vaccinated.

much less in direct District taxes, ac-
cording to a statement issued last

which he publicized locally Ma
tional Stamp Week. His I'M
firing zeal in the promotion of
the hobby may silence the few
who have unwarrantly expelled
him from a local stamp club,
through nothing else but, let
us say, professional jealousy.

the society to be honored with
the probable souvenir sheet the

likely will release next year.

portraits depicted in a frame,

once appeared as a magazine
novelette,, is fast becoming a
modern classic. Since it is well
worth a second reading, most
anybody would welcome its
cheerful presence beneath the
family Christmas tree.
Between its slim covers, Mr..

grown-up and long separated
brothers and sisters decided to
get together for an old-fashioned
holiday reunion. Gertrude sent

Gertrude expected everybody

the lusty. hope Of duplicating
an old-fashioned family break
fast that childhood chores and
joys seemed not so distant.
Chopping the tree, plUcking

factors helping to dissolve the

AS exclusively announced in
these columns last week, the
basis by which the schedule of
new issues evidently will be
drawn up is through the issu-
ance Of the three Sesquicenten-
NAL Constitution commemora-
tives, honoring the three
branches Of the Federal Gov
ernment-legislative, executive
and judicial.
Along with this trio of new
adhesives together with the Sec
ond Northwest Territory and
the Delaware Tercentenary, the
P. o. plans to introduce the new
regular, or Presidential, series,
which will not be completed I'M
til late in 1899. There will be 20
varieties Of the Regulars and
for this reason the P. o. believes
it wise not to issue the entire
series in '38.
AS was announced here, plans
are well underway for a series of
stamps honoring great American
scientists, authors, inventors,
educators and others of the Ma
tons great in the field of fine
arts. 1t is known that President
Roosevelt is in great favor of
such an issue.
Nothing definite Is known con-
corning the series. However,
with such a great number of
notables to select from, there is

include the overture to Mozart's
"Cosi fan tutte," excerpts from
1.-THE Rhine Gold" of Wagner
and Rimsky- Korsakow's Span
ish Caprice.
The Philadelphia Symphony
Orchestra will return to its
legitimate symphonic literature
when it next comes to WASH
ington at the end of the month.
Leopold Stokowski is to conduct
and has elected to present the
fourth symphony Of Brahms, a
composer and a work associated
with the earlier chapters of his
career.
Whether Stokowski comes as
guest or as co-conductor Of the
orchestra that he lifted from
the level Of provincial mediocrity
to that Of national fame is not
stated in the announcements
sent the press releases received
at this office. Titles are unim.
portant to a man Of his posi-
ton.
ALBAN BERG CONCERTO
The program will offer as
novelty the Alban Berg con-
certo for violin and orchestra.
It was composed under the COM
pulsion of a great sorrow. The
VienneSe moderniSt was greatly
attached to Manon Gropius,
daughter Of the widow Of Gus
tav Mailer, who died in the
spring Of 1885. Berg retired to
concentrate on the composition
of the concerto which he fin
ished in remarkably brief space
Of time.
The violinist for whom 1t was
written will present 1t. He is
Louis Krasner, whose national
ity is puzzling. Born abroad, he
came to America at an early
age and has received his entire
training here. His teachers, for
some specified reason, are not
named.
Stokowskd lists two transcript
lions in addition to the Brahms
symphony, both from his pen
the e minor prelude and fugue
of Bach and excerpts from
Moussorgsky's Boris Godunoff."
