Music Teachers Hear
Miss Eversman

Miss Alice Eversman, music critic Of
The Star. Monday night urged men,
bers Of the Washington Music
Teachers Association, Inc, to use
their influence In presenting to the
public the injustice of the practice
under which musicians appear be-
fore clubs and other organizations
without compensation.
Miss Eversman cited the personal
expenses faced by any musician in
making a public appearance, as we'll
as the cost Of training, and cited
instances where musicians were ex-
pected to serve without receiving
fees when extensive and expensive
preparations for their programs were
carried out and paid for from club
budgets.

Alma Ekins and Myra Shapiro Of

$40, 900 damage suit against a local
taxicab association and a Japanese,
discovered yesterday that the United
States marshals ONCE lacks juris-

he is an employe of the japanese
Embassy.
A summons in civil action was
handed to Deputy United States
Marshal Alex P. Hare to serve, but
he discovered that the foreign de-

Accordingly, this information was

the spell which heavenly voice
can weave and how from their hearts
they spoke their pleasure.
And there were no tricks used to
win them, no display of tempera-
ment or excessive emotion, no vocal
fireworks to arouse them. It was
Just plain singing which Nine. Flag
stad gave them, but so perfect, so
superior and yet so simple that even
the least knowing recognized it as
something no other artist had ever
been able to offer. Although many
may not have been conscious of it,
they had at last heard what song
is intended to be.
It may be because deep in every
one there is constant longing for
beauty, that Nine. Flagstads lis
teners are so moved by singer who
is calmness itself. She has at her
command the loveliest thing in the
world the gift of song in all its
perfection, and having it, has no
need to stress its message. She
sings, and music is made, and what
1t has to say is echoed in every
heart. 1t is the dignity and nobility
which she brings to her art that
enhances and renders more touching
the exquisite vocal endowment which
is hers.
For the first time since Nine.
Flagstad has sung here, her voice

a slight edge to the lusciousness of
tone and some evidence OF effort in
production, while the one weak spot
in her voice, the high A, was most
noticeably affected. These are the
consequences that every busy pro-
fessional must suffer from time to
time, but they also reveal the char
acter of talent, training and artistry.
In spite Of handicaps, Nine. Flag
stad's art in all its phases. remained
the astounding thing it is acknowl-
edged as being.
Under the circumstances, her best
work was done in the extremes of
artistic demands, in the delicate
songs and in the taxing arias. The
lovely sweep of phrase in 'Leise,
leise" from Webers Der Freis-
chutz" was marvelously fashioned,
working up to the climax of the
finale in joyous manner. In the
beautiful Mild und leise" from
Tristan und Isolde" the warmth
and amplitude of her voice rang
forth in all its glory. Yet as i'm
posing as was her delivery of this
great music, not many would have
foregone the privilege of hearing her
sing such small, perfect gems of
songs as Beethoven's Itch liebe
dich," Brahms AN elm Veilchen"
or Almaes' "Lykken mellem to men
nesker." The tenderness in the
softly produced tone, the poignancy
and simplicity of the whole were
something never to forget.
Nine. Flagstad included in her
program some songs that rarely find
their way to the public ear, such as
the three by Strauss, "Befreit," 'Du
meines Herzens Kroenelein" and
"Wie sollten wir geheim sic halten"
and Brahms "Liebestreu" In a
group sung in Norwegian, Grieg's
Fra Monte Pincio" and "Et Haab"
were new and showed the singers
art to perfection. Strange to say,
Nine. Flagstad is not so success
full in her choice of songs sung in
English, the best last evening being
Eleanor Warren's "Snow Toward
Evening"
Too much praise cannot be given
Edwin Macarthur for his beautiful
accompaniments played without

MEN AND MACHINES

The thumb rule OF courts is that
Ignorance Of the law is no excuse
and this could well be extended to
our everyday life and say that zig
norance OF facts is no excuse to make
false statements"
Today there are many misinfOrmed
and misguided people who are setting
up the machine as the big bogyman
responsible for unemployment. So
the Machinery Institute set about
getting at the facts and used as the
basis OF its study the official reports
OF the United States Governments
Census Bureau and other govern
mental agencies.
Here are the facts revealed by the
Institutes study: "It is not logical to
assume that the machine is the cause
Of unemployment.
Factory employment today is SO
per cent above the 1899 level when
little machinery was used, while pop
ulation is only 70 per cent above the
1899 figure. Had there been no in
crease in meehanizatiOn since then, a
ninety-fOur hour work week would
be required for factory workers to
produce the goods necessary for the
current standard OF living"

THE TAXPAYERS
FOOT THE BILL

A curious situation exists in Ne
braska which is stronghold for
municipal ownership of electric
utilities. PWA hydrO-eleetric pro-
jeets on the Platte River in that
state are nearing completion, and up
TO December 4, 1887, according TO the
Chicago Tribune, they have been un-
able to sell their power to Nebraska
cities which have municipally-owned
electric plants, for the simple reason
that the cities have refused to buy.
The hydrO-electric power costs more
than the power generated in the
cities own steam plants.
The situation is ironically humOr-
Gus. II the cities in question had
highly-taxed privately-Owned utili-
ties and they refused to buy power
from public projects. the promoters
Of staIe socialism in the electric field
would try to drive them out of busi-
ness by tax-subsidnzed, tax-free
competition. OF course. in the mean
time, the private plants would be
smeared with charges Of exploiting
the ratepayer and mulcting the in
vestor.
1t will be interesting to watch the
struggles OF the bureaucrats in Ne
braska. If the federal government
manages to force PWA electric pow

POINTING WITH PRIDE

Long columns Of figures are usual
ly monotonous and sometimes wholly
non-understandable 70 the average
person. But to the trained statisti-
clan they hold gold mine Of know
ledge to be carefully sifted and
passed along as a simple story.
Such is the story they give of the
growth OF a single industry-the gas
industry-in the United States, pre-
sented to US by a recent survey OF
natural gas and manufactured gas.
II would appear difficult to duplicate
the progress of this one single in
dustry from the open hearth days to
the present day efficient uses to
which gas is put. But doubtless
there are many other similar stories
of growth Of industry in the United
States.
For instance, II was found that s5.-
00O,000, 900 is invested in the gas in
dustry TO furnish service to l7,OOO,-
900 customers. The gas companies
employ $4,000 persons with annual
payroIls totalling $213,000.000 and
back OF the job OF each employee is
an Investment Of $4,000. In 1929.
the average employee in the industry
worked 4S hours a week against 40
hours now and the pay level is slight
ly higher today.
Gas heating OF homes is on the in
crease. 1t being estimated that g.
000. 900 homes in the country are now
heated with gas.
Now to reach real figures big
enough to asphyxiate yon-the total
production OF natural gas alone in
1897 aggregated 2.5O0.000, 100000 GU
bic feet. This was ma all-time high,
exceeding 1886 by more than II per
cent.
