DESCRIBED Praise
Is Meant

Now, whea I talk about praise,
I don't near the indiscriminate,
empty phrase which is mean
ingless or sentimental. I mean
praise which is deserved. Or
perhaps deserved" doesn't ex-
press it well since it sounds like
something which has been
worked for and which applies
only to behavior-or to good
ness and badness" The kind of
discriminating praise which I
believe so necessary is the recog-
milton of effort or achievement.
Praise Of this kind has its
place in so many situations.
When your small daughter is
first learning to set the table,
you can treat the result in one
Of two different ways. You can
praise her for helping you and
for remembering as many knives
and forks and spoons as she
has; or you can see only the
slightly cock-eyed effect that
they give, and the salt and
bread and butter plates and nap
kins that she has forgotten, and
mention only those. When you've
had callers you can remember
all the crimes in manners that
your in-between boy has COM
mitted-or you can, if manners
happen to be what you're con-
centrating on, praise the effort
which showed itself in remem-
bering to stand, perhaps, and in
not interrupting.
Praise has a high place in the
life of the small child, too-the
one who is building with blocks,
handling tools, sewing, and
learning to use a spoon or fork.

LARGE AUDIENCE
HEARS THOMAS
AND MISS BURKE.
Delightful Concert Ends
Series For Season
By WILLIAM NEWMAN

John Charles Thomas and Hilda
Burke came from the Metropoli-
tan Opera to end Mrs. Lawrence
Townsend's series of Monday nu-
sicales at the Mayflower, and the
ballroom was filled to hear them.
They offered A program OF
many and interesting contrasts,
all deriving from the differences
that are essential in their art.
Miss Burke elected to stress the
lyric values and Mr.. Thomas was
more concerned with the dramatic
opportunities, a choice on his part
which reacted to the advantage
of the soprano.
RETRACES STEPS
For Miss Burke, who made her
operate debut Is years ago at an
unbelievably early age and in the
highly dramatic role of Aida, has
retraced her steps, technically. to-
become one of the most attrac-
tive lyric sopranos of the day.
Throughout the morning she prac-
ticed the fine art of bel canto
with such attention to vocal de-
tail that there was not a single
tone that seemed to the expert
enced listener to be deficient in
proportioned resonance or faulty
in placement.
This calm and technically per
feet song was warmed by the
gorgeous melody of Rachmani-
noffs Harvest Field" to some
thing rarely beautiful. 1t matched
the classic purity of Handel's 20
Sleep, Why Dost Thou Leave Me-"
It fitted perfectly the cool beauty
of Mozart's "Verdrai Carino" and
the ever-mounting ardor of Bruch's
"Ave Maria"
VOCAL BEAUTY
Thomas also made a dutiful
gesture toward pure vocal beauty
In a Massenet aria, in the duet
from Don Giovanni" in Do
naudy's 20 del milo amato ben;
not, it must be confessed, with his
usual measure of success. Perfect
song, perhaps, has ceased to inter
est him, for he turned to the pro
lection of word, incident, and Sit
uation with a zest that mere
beauty did not evoke. Thus it hap
pened that his version Of The
Minstrel Boy" was highly eXcit-
ing: that he made the brief drama
of the old English folk-song, Lord
Randall" a deeply moving mo-
ment, and the encounter between
David and Goliath" vastly anus
ing, by means not purely vocal.
His success with the audience
was impressive and his first en-
core. the familiar aria from "The
Barber" was an exciting tour de
force.
Mrs. Townsend announces the
series will be continued next sea-
son beginning December IL with
an interval for the holidays.
STUDENTS CONCERT
The first of the National SYM
ptony'S students concerts was
played in the Central High School
auditorium yesterday afternoon.
The audience should have been
larger, and when these young peo-
pie report upon the good fun that
DR.. Kinder manages to make out
of good music it is to be hoped
that twice as many will attend the
second concert in the series which
will take place March 5 in Con-
stitution Hall.
Meanwhile yesterdays program,
which was subtitled From Shep-
herds Song to Symphony" will be
played in two other schools where

ment, and IL they do not harvest
more than acres for grain or
hay no deductions will be made
from other payments earned under
the program.
If they take this latter choice
they will not be eligible for the
wheat payment but they will be
eligible to earn a payment on their
wheat allotment at the same rate
as applies to such crops as oats
and barley. Harvesting more than
s acres for grain and hay will bring
deductions from other payments
for which the farmer may be eligt-
BILE under the program.
Seeding wheat within the 1889
wheat acreage allotment establihh-
ed for his farm Is essential for
farmer to be eligible for the price
adjustments payments, as well as
for the maximum soil-conservation
payment on wheat for 1889. This
latter payment is to be between l6
and IS cents a bushel on the nor
NAL yield of the wheat acreage
allotment. When the wheat acrea-
ge allotment is overseeded, deduc-
ton will, be made from this pay
ment at the rate Of SOC bushel
on the normal yield Of each acre
in excess of the allotment.
The conservation and price ad-
justment payments combined will
mean a payment to cooperating
wheat farmers next year of be-
tween 20 and 80 cents a bushel.
For this reason it is extremely
that all wheat farmers
consider carefully what they stand
to gain or lose by complying with
the program, and decide before
they seed, Henness says.

TIME OUT
FOR THOUGHT

Emerson once wrote: my friends
have come to me unsought; God
gave them to me-"
Though we do not realize it, we
are often drawn to someone as a
friend because we subconsciously
feel the need of acquiring certain
definite attributes of his which we
ourselves do not at present possess.
It may be understanding or toler-
ance which we need; it may be
that we subsconsciously aspire to
those ideals of his which we think
more inspiring than our own; o:
we admire his accomplishments, or
certain qualities of his personality
reliability, sincerity, or industry.
Later in the association we
learn that we have evolved, grown
taken on that quality or those
qualities which we hadn't been con-
scious of searching for-and we
wonder where they came from. 1t
is when we look back upon friend
ships of the past that we discover
the source, and, in return, we may
inspire others.

Old Story Seen in
Mineral Deposits
Ceologists Reveal Interest
ing Facts in Vest.

NEW YORK. - Identification OF
tiny heavy minerals which have
survived the elements for centuries
is helping geologists to reconstruct
a picture of western North America
as it appeared before the Rocky
mountains arose from the sea some
$4,000, 900 years ago, according to a
report to the Geological Society OF
America by DR.. Marcellus H. Stow,
professor of geology in Washington
& Lee university.
So reliable are these heavy min
erals as miniature 'fngerprints"
that the geologic history OF an area
tens of miles square can be accu-
rately pictured by matching reoc-
curing specimens.
For hundreds of millions of years
before the Rocky mountains were
formed, their area, now trimmed
with towering peaks, was a great
inland basin filed with successive
shallow seas, according to DR.. Stow.
Then for an untold span Of time,
widespread and violent disturbances
began to shake the earth's crust,
warping, bowling and buckling great
layers of rock
Volcanoes erupted intermittently,
emitting showers of debris and
streams of lava. Such revolution af-
fected many parts of the earth, un-
til finally from the deep inland ba-
sins arose the Rocky mountains, the
Andes, and other mountains in va
rious parts of the world.
DR.. Stow investigated two series
Of rocks, one dating from the Late
Mesozoic, laid down Immediately
before the Laramide revolution, and
the other ascribed to the Early Cen
ozoic, deposited Immediately after
the revolution. He found heavy
minerals" in most of the 300 sand
stone samples which he examined
in the geological laboratory of Wash
ington & Lee university.
By comparison of these minerals
with similar ones occurring in beds,
the geological history of which is un-
derstood, the sequence Of the dis
turbances can be learned.

IN WASHINGTON
BY BOB MERKLEY

1t does not look much like the
meek shall inherit the earth, does
it? Japan is walking off with
China, Mussolini is digesting Ethl-
opia. and Hitler has the European
nations lined up like suspects at
a police station. What does that
mean to you and to me and to our
Uncle Sam?
1t may not be possible to an
swa, that question completely, but
it can be answered in part. one
sure thing is that the worlds mud
die is going to demand a lot OF
our time and money.
Nearly every government depart
ment in washington is carrying
on it's work with one eye on fore
IGN conditions. Department heads
who usually reply to almost any
question now freeze up solid when
reporter ventures out beyond the
fresh water line. You can get the
news from Europe yourself and
make up your own mind if you
want)to know what Uncle Sam is
going to do.
That diplomatic silence is only
temporary, of course. When the
Seventy-sixth Congress comes to
town there will be a cloud of blue
smoke lowering over the Capitol
as long as there is fire in Europe.
Keeping still does not get you any
where in Congress.
Right now flocks of warplanes are
flying in formation over the Ma
tional Capitol. Tl3ey have been
here all along, but each day seems
to bring a few more. To the man
on the street they are a pleasant
reminder that all of the worlds
munitions are not piled up in some
dictator's back yard.
But where are those stories we
used to hear about letting the rest
of the world go its own sweet way?
You do not hear much about that
now. Most good Americans would
rather we did not tangle in Euro
pes mess, but they think it is a
very good idea to have few extra
warplanes and battleships lying
around in case we need them. Peo-
pie have seen some strange hap
penings in the recent past.
The most unbelievable thing
about our foreign policy is that the
critics are leaving it alone. Al
most all Republicans and no few
Democrats have wept in agony
over what they call the sins of the
New Deal. They have lambasted
lust about everything except Mr.
CordeU Hull. His foreign affairs
have come through without a
scratch. They must be good.
And all the while we are build
ing our fighting force. Why does
not somebody set up howl about
hat? Why do the pacifists fai

The actual acreage Arizona farm
ers decide to seed to wheat this
fall or next spring will determine
whether Or not they will be ellgi-
BILE for conservation payments and
wheat price adjustment payments
under the 1899 AAA Farm Program.
according to information received
by K. K. Henness, county agricult-
ural agent.
When they determine the amount
of this seeded acreage they will
also be deciding whether they want
to be eligible for wheat loans and
wheat crop insurance next year.
This means that wheat farmers
must decide before they seed
whether or not they want to go
along with the farm program. IN
former wears, farmers in some
cases have seeded wheat and then
wanted to adjust this acreage lat-
ter by using some of the wheat Tor
hay. pasture or a winter cover
crop. The 1889 program does not
effect the practise of farmers US
ing wheat for this purpose, but Tor
the average wheat producer the
allotments have been made to allo"
enough acreage, within the aliot
ments, for hay, pasture, and cover
crops.
