HITLER MOVES AGAIN

Again the strong man of Germany reveals that might regardless of its copybook association with right achieves its objective In probability the boldes move he has made since he occupied the Rhineand in defiance of the old Allied nations Hitler has moved into Austria and late reports indicate that the Modification of that country virtually is assured.
 Chancellor Schuschnigg of Austria has bowed to the German will" which is tantamount to admit ting that the German war lord has the situation well in hand.
 Europe is again seething in uncertainty but cur rent dispatches indicate that the alarm will soon die down just as it has died down other occasions when Hitler made drastic in the international picture Italy the avowed ally of Germany, announces that she will not interfere in the Standardization affair Great Britain alleged by some to be pro- German under the Neville Chamberlain leadership, is significantly silent except for gesture of warning which appears to carry force Only impotent France who trouble ahead with Fascist nations all her borders raises the cry that she will in most vigorous manner which probably will not be very vigorous if she has to act alone

In the Glare
(New York Times

(NeW York TimeS)
 Last summer 300,000 visitors came to Calander to see the Donne girls One recent winter morning, with the temperature 42 degrees below zero, there automobiles parked outside the famous nursery. That is the tragedy of the famous five, according to the Toronto specialist who has charge of their educato He told a big audience of educators that the quintuplets cannot hope for normal social life. He believes no individual in this country has ever been as much photographed the Dionne sisters.
 It is a safe estimate The white light that beats throne, that beats, for instance at this moment Princess Elizabeth and her sister Margaret Rose, is soft haze compared with the glare in which the five Dionnes must live
 Yet all the reports are that the two little girls in Buckingham Palace do manage to get lot of normal excitement out of their childhood The five Dionnes by this time must be fairly indifferent to the gaze of the curious. The tragedy of Princess Elizabeth Shirley Temple is mitigated tragedy. And after all quintuplet is much rarer thing than royal princess child movie star.
 This leaves out of consideration the possibility that in another few years science will have nothing to learn from studying the five Dionnes en bloc, and the sisters may be separated In fact the time may come when the Dionnes apart and in different environments will be more interesting study than the five together

Not long ago there was q
movement to have books bound
in fabrics symbolic of their con-
tents.
"Gone With the Wind" for
example, was to have been done
up in threadhare red velvet
with two sputtering candles EN-.
bossed on the cover. Th e
weighty Anthony Adverse" was
to have been rebound in the
stuff maps are made of. Oil
cloth, calico and chiffon were
mentioned for other best sellers.
Nothing much came Of 1t,
however, until Paul southworth
Bliss finished "The Rye Is the
Sea-" Then the Cirrus Com
pany thought Of something
special.
The result is a thin, square
shaped book bound in sackcloth
with pages like wrapping paper.
The block type stands out most
effectively and the old sailing
ship on the cover lends a deco
rative note.

PLeases In
Recital
BY WILLIAM NEWMAN

To the growing list Of Amer
lean song writer's whose COM
bined efforts are creating one
of the most interesting schools
Of composition in the history
of the art must be added the
name of Mary Howe.
From her group of five songs
presented for the first time for
the Friday Morning Music Club
by Flora McGill Keefer, with
the composer at the piano, 1t is
necessary to choose but one to
prove the assertion.
1t is setting of Rainer
Maria Rilke's poem, "Herbsttag'
(Autumn Day., an exciting and
colorful study in the use of dis
sonance to stress the expressive
purpose.
SONG SET APART

with interest because of its free.
dom. An undiatonic melody
that still is lyric, a harmonic
scheme that places idea above
system, a feeling for the cumu.
latlve and reiterative climax,
set this song apart. Others in
the group displayed the same
fine talent in quite different as
poets.
This composer has an unmis-
table personality; yet a French
text Is set by her with such
sensitive regard for the nuances
of the language that 1t becomes
a chanson. OF a German text
she makes a lied. These neces-
sary echoes Of established style
are accomplished without any
sacrifice of individuality, an
achievement amounting almost
to a technical tour de force.
SINGS ADMIRABLY
Mrs. Keefer sang these songs
and others by Grieg, Rach-
mammoth and Chopin admira-
bly,. Her somber voice is beauti-
fully smooth throughout its un-
usual range. She practices the
fine art of diction with care and
taste.
Villa Semple contributed two
preludes and fugues from the
first volume of Bach's "Well
Tempered Clavichord," with ex-
cellent definition of their con
trapuntal texture and read the
exacting E minor sonata, opus
80. Of Beethoven with fine un-
derstanding Of its poetry and
without sentimental exaggera-
ton.

Story of the First
Woman Editor

It's gotten so that nobody
would think seriously Of writing
a book about a famous person
without first giving him or her
a title. If, by happy chance, he
or she happened to be infamous
as we'll, so much the better. We
have had, therefore, a succession
of glorious Apollos," gorgeous
hussies" and exquisite sirens"
It remained for George Stuyve-
SAINT Jackson to strive for a new
note and call his biography Of
Anne Royal ~ ncomm mon
scold."
Mr.. Jackson didn't seem to be
troubled whether or not his title
sounded tempting. He was bent
on a complete biography. and if
the Federal court of the District
of Columbia called Anne Royal
"a common scold." scold she
had to be, although Mr.. Jack
son found her a little different
from the garden variety.
She was, as only a small
minority Is aware, the first
woman newspaper editor in the
United States. She was also the
first woman lobbyist and prob
ably the most determined soul
ever to wage a private war for
what she considered to be re-
ligious liberty and political
honesty.
Mr.. Jackson tells all about her
turbulent career in this slim
little brochure numbering less
than $50 pages. It doesn't take
long to read it, but once read
it will be well remembered.
