greater "Fugue in G Minor"
Bach), Stokowski led his men
through an adroitly built struc-
ture of themes played by the
various instruments and choirs
of the orchestra, sometimes
pianissimo, and finally gather.
ing forces into a mighty climax
Of incredible brilliancy. But the
effect of reserve power suddenly
added was heard when the final
chord modulated to the more
effective major chord.
So great an impression did
this fugue make upon the au-
dience that when Stokowskl
asked the audience at the end Of
the concert what they would
like to hear as an encore, there
was q vast cry for Bach" The
conductor smilingly remarked
that he would play Bach next
season.

ira than almost any other work.
It was this symphony that was
busted off and recorded by the
new electrical process in 1926.
The result was so successful that
the recording was scattered
throughout the world as an ex-
ample of the new method Of re-
cording.
Since that time, other orches-
tras have taken up this long
neglected work as well as the
other three symphonies by this
great composer. With more than
ten years background in perform
ing this symphony, needless to
say it was done in a superb man.

brought forth some. Of the most
marvellous combinations Of or
chestral tone color and power that
lit seems impossible to extract
further from any orchestra.
The first presentation Of Harl
McDonald's Concerto for Two
Pianos and Orchestra" was given
a solid and brilliant performance
last night by the duo-piano team,
Jeanne Behrend and Alexander
Kelberine husband and wife).
The feminine member Of the team,
slight in build, played with a
smoothness and yet could rise to
the heights of dynamic power,
especially in the third movement.
Whether her part were the
more subdued or not, one gained
the impression that her team
mate played the greater display
parts. The fast and furious
arpeggios for both pianos in the
third movement were given with
a speed that seemed to defy any
increase in time. The rhythmic
sections that frequently became
real jazz, set this movement out
as a most attractive if barbaric
work. The duo-pianists were re-
called to the stage number OF
times and finally they led the
composer out to receive his share
of adulation.
The Slow-moving and ponder
GUS tones of the "Parsifal"
music lowered the heights Of
magnificent expression inspired
by religious mysticism. When
this marvellous orchestra adds
tone on tone and choir on choir
under the careful leadership of
Stokowski in this music, one
cannot help but have a feeling
of ultimate power and beauty
of human faith.

There is a distinct difference
in the measurements of Miss Craw-
ford and those of Carole Lombard,
who has an equally beautiful fig.
ure. Miss Lombard is more slightly
built although she is the same
height. Because of structural diff.
ference, her perfect measurements
are: Bust, 3212 inches; hips, 32R
inches; waist, 251a inches. Miss
Lombard is in the topflight of
Hollywood's tennis players, but her

pearance, this star is rough and
ready in her choice of sports
and the result is perfect proper
lions and limitless vitality. She
is credited with the most perfect
hipline in Hollywood.
Claudette Colbert, another type
of beauty, has still different set
Of perfect measurements. This
sparkling brunette has the perfect
figure for the average girl: Bust,
SO inches; waist, Is inches; hips,
IS inches. Miss Colbert is a good
swimmer and an enthusiastic
walker. Both exercises bring the
important figure controlling
muscles into play.
With these three beauties the
measurements are different. but
there is the same proportionate
difference between the measure
mentS of each, according to the
standard set by Venus. In other
words. the waist is seven to nine
inches less than the bust, and the
hips do not exceed the bust by
more than two inches.
Your chest measurement Is de-
termined by structure. You take
this measurement by passing the
tape around the back and bring
ing it together above the bust. The
bust may exceed the chest meas
urement by one to two and one
half inches and have a lovely
curve.
The position of the bust is de-
pendent upon the tone Of the pee
toral muscles. You can wear a
bright sash around your waist If it
is seven to eight inches less than
the bust measurement. Anything
less than six inches is a middle
age spread. Your hips, according
to standards in streamlines,
should not exceed the bust by
more than two inches.
The three lovely examples given
today show you the sort Of figure
that is made by perfect proper
tons.

MAILING OF XMAS CARDS
1t Is Desirable to Have Them Sent
Early by First Glass Postage

The Third Assistant Postmaster
General recently requested that:
Patrons be advised that while
printed cards bearing no unpermis-
sible written additions are accept
able at the third-class rate Of post
age when enclosed in unsealed en-
velopes, it is often more desirable
from the standpoint of both the
sender and the addressee to have
the cards sent in sealed envelopes
at the frst-class rate OF postage
because of the better service ac-
corded frst-class matter, including
free forwarding or return if unde-
liverable as addressed. Large num-
bers of Christmas cards, mailed
unsealed at the third-class rate Of
postage, are disposed of as waste
each year when they are undeliv-
cradle as addressed due to removal
of the addressee or other cause
Such cards are not entitled to the
free forwarding privilege accorded
cards mailed in sealed envelopes at
the higher rate and consequently
the senders in some cases never
know that the cards We're rot de-
livered. This would not occur if
the cards were mailed sealed at the
first-class rate"

EARLY HISTORY OF
ST. PETERS CHURCH

From the Rev. L. d. Gibson S
historical Thanksgiving discourse
in tracing the history of the Epis-
copal Church in Delaware and es-
pecially Dover, the first mention
that is made of the Episcopal
Church for this place was that "in
the county records an indenture
was recorded in the year 1740 be-
tween Thomas Green, of Duck
Creek Hundred and Nicholas
Ridgely and Thomas Tarrents
church wardens of St.Johns church
at Dover in the county of Kent. !"
This is the same Green from whom
the stream flowing this side but
near to Duck Creek took its name,
and on the brow of the hill running
up from which was the site of the
first st. Peters Church, the stones
of which form part of the pres
ent church, being brought thither
after a long season of disuse and
decay when it was reconstructed
over sixty years ago. The church
or society at Dover was first men
toned in 1703 when a memorial
was sent to the bishop of London,
signed by twenty-five persons ask
ing for a minister because of the
increase of sin and crime" One
was sent and they seem to have
been supplied with a preacher for
some seven years and the condition
of things generally reported bad,
and ministers hard to keep. ''But
at length" says the narrative, in
1773, after % years of vacancy,
the Rev. George Frazier arrived in
Philadelphia, and he writes: II
went down about 100 miles to the
place of my mission and was re-
ceived cordially upon landing by
sundry principal inhabitants and
conveyed to Dover the country
town, small village of fifteen or
sixteen families. I preached next
day in the court house, and some
days afterwards we chose two
church wardens and 10 vestrymen

OIL MEN OPPOSE

Three large and enthusiastic
mass meetings are being held BY
the Associated Petroleum Indus
tries of Delaware this week o1
December 5th, at which time ovel
5000 individuals who depend or

will organize in New Castle, Sus-

industry is one Of the most essen
tial in the state and one Of the
heaviest taxpayers, is organizing
largely to protect its motorist Gus
TONER'S" according to II. ". Dan
iel, prominent Oil company execu-
tive of Wilmington, who is heading
the movement and who is Chair
man of the Associated Petroleum
Industries of Delaware. Our co.
600 odd customers are now should
ering a most inequitable load of
taxation. We are acting purely in
self-defense and on behalf of the
motor vehicle owners Of Delaware
who are today paying the equival-
ent of 38 IL per cent sales tax
on gasoline This is an unreason-
able sales tax for any commodity.
Last year Delaware motorists paid
in registration fees, state and fed
eral gasoline taxes and federal lub-
ricating oil taxes the sum of ap-
proximately S3,48O,OOO. Diversion
Of motor tax funds is a matter of
current interest. This diversion is
a dangerous threat against the mo
torist and an unwise fiscal policy
that must be discouraged and dis
continued. There is a growing
sentiment against diversion and in
favor Of the abolishment of the
federal gasoline and motor oil tax
and for a lowering of state gaso-
line taxes. The gravity of the Del
aware situation has been one of the
factors behind this move on the
part of the petroleum industry to
protect its motoriSt customers
against IllL IuSI Id2A dCLlclIdS. We
are inviting to our Wilmington,
Georgetown, and Dover meetings
all state and national legislators.
We want them to attend as observ-
ers and to secure a very thorough
and sympathetic understanding of
the conditions faced by the oil in
dustry and its customers. We are
anxious that they should become
familiar with our program and OBJ
jectives. Once they attain such an
Delaware citizens
may look forward to relief and Sc
curity from diversion" Mr.. Dan
iel explained that the Associated
Petroleum Industries of Delaware
is voluntary, non-profit organiza-
tion and that membership involves
no financial oblizations whatever.
Every individual who derives his
living from the petroleum industry
is eligible to membership and al
ready hundreds of pledge cards
have been signed, indicating gener-
al support from the petroleum in
dustry and those associated with it.
