There is keen interest in musical circles in this city in the announce ment that Eudice Shapiro, 22-year old Buffalo violinist, has been hon. ored by selection as the fea- tured artist on the Musical Star Radio program December 19, which is to be broadcast to WEAF and the NEG Red network, for she is well known locally as one of the Young Artist winners in the 1887 contests of the National Federation of Music clubs.
 A group of distinguished judges, included among whom were Dr. Nikolai Sokoloff, director of the Federal Music Project; Charles Hackett, Metropolitan Opera tenor: Reinald Werrenrath, concert bari tone, and Fabien Sevitsky, director of the Indianapolis Symphony or- vhestra, chose her from a group of six finalists at the 20th Biennial Convention of the Federation in In- dianapolis as winner of the $l,000 award in the violin classification. Her choice as a soloist on this program means that she has met the critical require- ments of such musicians as Mary Garden, Alma Gluck, Leopold Godowsky, Ernest Hutcheson, Olga samaroff, Ernest Schelling, Alexan- der Smallens, Albert Spalding and Efrem zimbalist, who constitute the Sealtest Committee of Awards.
 Appearance on this program places Miss Shapiro in line for another possible award, since If she is fortunate enough to emerge a winner in a three-week cycle, she wins a $500 cash prize, and also qualities as contestant for the 1000 award which Is to be presented at the end of 13 weeks.
 The young violinist Is a daughter of Ivan Shapiro, member of the Buffalo Symphony orchestra, and began her studies at the age of five with her father, whose pupil she was for nine years. Subsequently she studied at the Curtis Institute in Philadelphia. She is today Efrem zimbalist's only girl pupil. She is the tenth young American artist honored by selection for this program which Is broadcast every Sunday night at 10 p. m. EST. with the purpose of giving young American musicians of distinguished talent on opportunity to be heard by Q nationwide audience. Her ap- pearance on the program will be awaited with keen interest.

Nearly Kills Cat

SEATTLE, Wash, Sept. "a
G.N.SO.-Quick work by Mrs.
Harold Mitchell saved her young
kitten from an unusual death at
hands of King, a jealous English
setter.
King was extremely insulted
when Mrs. Mitchell brought home
the kitten. At his first opportun-
ity he took it gently but firmly in
his mouth, carried it out into the
alley, dug a hole and buried it
alive. Mrs. Mitchell hastily dug
it up and saved it from suffo-
cation.

O'CONNOR PLANS
.SUPPLANT|NG OF
BRAIN TRUSTERS
Wants Special Council
For Drafting Bills

UN.S.) A proposal for ere
alton of a legislative council to
chart sessions of Congress and re-
placement Of the brain trust"
drafting service was being inveS-
tigated today by Representative
John ]. O'Connor Cd of New
York, chairman of the powerful
House Rules Committee.
The plan, O'Connor said, has
been installed by many State leg,
iSlatures both as means Of in
creasing legislative efficiency and
saving money for taxpayers.
COUNCIL SUGGEGTED
O'Connor suggested that q small
council composed Of members Of
Senate and House might be
formed to meet during receSseS of
Congress and frame a program to
be followed in the next session.
The council, he said could not
only recommend a program but
put expert bill drafters to work.
WOULD DRAFT BILLS
He also suggested that Congress
might expand its legislative draft
ing service so that it could draft
into bill form proposals of depart
ments. This, he said, would elimi-
nate c0mnlaintS 0f hills heiI1p

into Congress.
O'Connor said that while Con-
gress spends but $4,000 on its
drafting service, New York State
spends $4,000. He is gathering
information from state legislators
in States where the council and
drafting service plan has been set
up and may propose change in
congressional rules to provide for
the new system.

RELIEF IN QUESTION
AS the President approached the
Great Divide, however, 1t appeared
that the States west Of the Mis-
sissippi were more concerned over
acquisition Of additional Federal
money titan they were about such
issues as the Supreme Court and
the alleged connection of newly
appointed Justice Hugo L. Black
with the Ku Klux Khan.
In Chicago, Gov. Henry Horner,
Senator william H. Dietrich and
Mayor Edward j. Kelly talked to
Mr.. Roosevelt about their diff
culties in caring for $4,000 thrown
off WPA relief rolls by the recent
retrenchment.
NEBRASKA GRATEFUL"
Gov. R. L. Cochran, of Nebraska,
rode from Chicago to Omaha to say
there was "a big gratitude vote"
in his state for the New Deal be-
cause Federal money saved us.
He wasn't interested in the court
fight or the status of Senator Ed
ward r. Burke, another opponent
of the Presidents defeated en-
largement bill. What Nebraska
wanted to know said Cochran,
was how the State would get
through the winter after losing
over $100,000,000 in corn last
month through the deadly blasts
of a single days "hot wind" ,
The President had been In PED
for two hours last night when
omaha was reached. Word was
telegraphed to the train that ne
could have a big crowd if he
would promise an appearance.
The answer was that Mr.. Roose-
welt was abed. Police, forewarned,
refused to let anyone without
credentials get into the train
shed. Mrs. Roosevelt assured sew
eral hundred thus qualified she
was grateful for their appearance.
INSPECTION TOUR
Omaha reporters said Senator
Burke was in town, but as Burke
was not at the station and the
President did not appear, the pros
pect of White House repriSal IN
Nebraska fell rather flat.
The President, in five informal
talks through Iowa, stressed the
idea he was making an annual
inspection tour of the country,
not a campaign swing.
He said repeatedly how pleased
he was to be back and see things
80 much better than they were
a year ago."
At Marshalltown, Iowa, the Elk
ecutive stressed the importance
of price stability for crops.
Bands and good crowds turned
out to see the President en- route

Western Iowa, they ignored light

LOCAL ISSUES CITED
Martin and others opposed to

no useful purpose for the 1910

Posture Is
Essential
To Beauty
Smartest Clothes Lose
Style When Poorly
Dis p | a y e d.
BY ELSIE PIERCE.

IF THERE'S any compliment the
modern woman prefers to Shes
good looking" it's She looks smart"
The compliment implies that woman
has made the most Of h" good points,
that she knows how to look groomed
and how to make herself as attractive
as it is possible for her to be.
When we say a woman is smart
| that covers more than mere beauty.
It takes in poise and personality, her
speech, her voice, her gestures, her
manners, her command of every STU
| alton with a certain suave gracious
ness. In other words, 1t takes in
beauty and brains and charm.
But let's confine ourselves today to
the she looks smar'-which Is
enough food for thought for one ses-
sion. To my mind that covers three
very important factors.
Appropriate dress is one OF these
| factors. No matter how beautiful the
costume in itself. or how glamorous
the individual looks in it, she cannot
look really smart if the outfit IS not
appropriate to the occasion. The truly
smart woman always wears the right
thing at the right time.
Now there are those who manage
to have a costume for sportswear and
a costume for shopping, different
outfit-complete to every detail Of ac-
cessories-for informal dinner or tea,
a dinner gown, costume to wear for
formal functions. Yet. because they
slip I'D on the little details of good
grooming their very appropriate cos
TUNES do not show OF to best advan-
tage and they cannot be termed truly
smart.
| And there are those who have ap-
propriate clothes anG are meticulous
in their grooming, but no one calls
them attractive or smart, and the fault
lies with carriage. You've doubtless
heard it said about some one in your
set "She can wear the most inexpen-
sive clothes and carry then off like a
| queen" You don't have to be tall,
necessarily, Or regal to carry clothes
| off well. But you do hav to carry
yourself we'll. Posture is important
important to health, to beauty, to
ones appearance. And after all, ones
appearance may be more important to
securing the job or holding it. to win
ming the affection Of the dear ones at
home or the respect and regard of
the husbands business associates. 1t
may open the door to social success
and domestic happiness. When you
think about your appearance in terms
of the newest styles, when you are
planning your Spring wardrobe, give
a thought to the three important fac
tors mentioned above.

meat carefully. so that it Is rare and
ender, and top with one great broiled
mushroom cap. Be sure that the string
that holds its shape has been taken
off-there is nothing so discouraging
to a querulous invalid as a piece of
string in the plate! Try serving a
little baked, creamed cauliflower with
the meat, unless you are one of the
people who can't control the vege-
tables aroma during the cooking proc
ess. A compete Of green gage plums,
black cherries, nectarines and pears
would be delicious dessert. Take all
the fruit from the cans and simmer it
altogether in the juices, until the sirup
is thick and the fruit soft and tender.
Do not cook rapidly or the fruits will
lose their shape. Lemon juice added
during the cooking does wonders for
that "tinny' taste.
If the patient is a rice eater-by all
means indulge his whim. Make small
rice ring and fill it with creamed
chicken, mushrooms and sweetbreads,
cut into small pieces. A salad made of
the small hearts of Boston lettuce,
with a simple French dressing, goes
we'll with this. You might start of
with fresh fruit cup and wind up with
junket glorifled with strawberry jam.
Strawberry jam does lot for rice
pudding, too. in case you want to con-
sumo the white grains in that form
instead!
Of course, all these suggestions de-
pend entirely on the individual con-
valescent and just what the doctor
nothing organically wrong, and it is
simply matter of squirting the old
appetite and building up in general,
then they should work like charm.
don't advise heavy, greasy foods, and
think nothing should be fried that
is served to an invalid Portions
should be small and dainty, and if
something messy. such as a SQUAD. is
offered, then finger bowl with water
and a slice of lemon in it should be
provided. For the average person. no
matter how sick he thinks he is, when
presented with fat, juicy squad, sit
ting on piece of toast with bacon
or currant jelly on his manly chest
(the squads chest, not the patient's)
is very apt to fall upon the bird and
tear it limb from limb. AS licking
the fingers is not considered proper.
even in he'd If the sheets and hla
ket: covers are to be saved, the finger
bowl is dire necessity.
And now I'm hungry myself-but
how in the world can 1 manage a
SQUAD here in the office? Guess it'll
have to be a sandwich!
