HUGE AUDIENCE.
HEARS CONCERT.
AT WATERCATE
Kinder Program Stirs
{ Great Enthusiasm
BY WILLIAM NEWMAN

Not even the proverbial jinX
OF second night, nor the tradi-
tiunal bad luck of postpone
ment, could prevail against
Washington's pride in its Ma
tional Symphony Orchestra and
the enthusiasm of its music
lovers for the concerts at the
Watergate.
Last nights concert, put over
from the foregoing evening by
threat of rain, attracted 1000
or 10000 persons. Indeed. there
were more paying guests at the
feast, for the barge which floats
the acoustic shell had been
moved 20 feet farther from the
shore and many more seats had
been added to the lower and
coStlier level.
This was DR.. Kindler's last ap-
pearance until he returns Au-
gust II for the final concert in
the series. If the attendance
holds up through the next week,
however, the management would
be we'll advised to extend the
concerts through August. Other
cities enjoy eight weeks of sum-
mer music and Washington
seems ready for a longer season
now, and still more concerts a
year hence.
AUDIENCE PLEASED
DR.. Kinder. be it noted with
satisfaction, does not find it
necessary to offer the summer
audiences of this city programs
Of the old, popular type. He
began with a Toccata by the
sixteenth century italian mas
ter, Frescobaldi, a transcription
from the organ repertoire, with
the massive Sonorities of that
noble instrument effectively
transferred to the more flexible
1diom of the great orchestra.
He followed this with the de-
lightful Mozart A major SYM
phony in which he discovered
80 much of simple. charming
melody and sprightly rhythm
that the great and inevitably
mixed audience accepted it with
every manifestation of Satisfac-
ton. Not all the credit for this
success belongs to Mozart.
Kinder is so vital, so alert and
50 genuinely interested in the
music he makes that all listen
ers must be persuaded.
The numbers which the pro-
gram stated would be announced
proved to be the Humoresque
Of Dvorak and the second Hun
garian Rhapsody of Liszt, and
the conductor evidently felt the
audience knew them well enough
to omit any announcement. He
was right. His listeners were
so satisfied with their own
achievements in musicology that
he was obliged to add an encore.
He chose Fritz Kreisler's tribute
to vanished city. the Viennese
melo6y called "LiebeSleid."
PIANIST PRAISED
The ,osoist of the evening
was DoI by Kemp Roosevelt,
pianist. Os Detroit, an efficient,
11lusicianly and confident artist
who put ayer the difficult Bur
ieske t02 piano and orchestra,
by Fi-hard Strauss, with gay
aba 1d0r. Her listeners felt they
would have liked to hear her in

OTHERS VIEWS
ABOUT NOISES
TO the Editor:

TO the Editor:
In the North Carolina Health Bull
letin for the current month I find a
very interesting and instructive ar
ticle headed: "Noises and Sick" Were
it read by every one it would do a
world of good towards reducing USE
less noises. This Health Bulletin
should go into every home in our
State as it is intended to. 1t is not
only entertaining but very instructive
about the things that are of vital inn
portance to every one. All you have
to do is write the North Carolina State
Board of Health, Raleigh, N. c., ask
ing that your name be entered on
their mailing list and it will come
every month bringing you much good
informat ton about how to fight our
worse enemy, sickness. It VIII also
cause you to have more respect and
admiration for what your State is dol
ing to help you stay well.
In the article / mentioned about
Noises and Sick, two facts are made
quite plain; they are that great deal
of noise is useless and could be avoid
ed and that noise produces sickness
best, finest mayor and board Of city
fathers that can be found in any baili-
wick between Bearpond and Grey
stone, but it would have been a great
blessing had they read this article and
needed its teachings before they let
that flood of fircrackers descend upon
up last September and continue until
about January 49,, of this year. May
God forgive them, for as Jesus said
about them who were killing Him !:
"They know not what they do"
This article 1 have mentioned quotes
a distinguished American who not
long ago toured the old country and
speaking of italy said: There appear
ed to be a quiet not known in the
United States; ~" I discovered that
chauffeurs are not permitted to sound
their automobile horns, except at cur
YES on mountain roads. On regular
highways and city streets you never
hear a sound. Even trollep cars are
tloiseless", That is the way they do
things where Mr. Mussollni holds forth
with his one man rule. Now I want
no Fascisi in this government, but
we all must admit there is a small
class of our people so prone to break
the law they should be ruled by a
hard hearted autocrat that would
make them respect the law or feel it's
punishment.
Read on and see if you do not think
some drastic step should be taken to
rid us of the few wickedly reckless
who threaten so many innocent people.
One day this week I stood On the
corner of Chestnut and Montgomery
streets and saw woman drive big
"ar by Junior high school during the
noon recess, when the whole square
vas alive with children darting here
and there, at speed crater than the
Is mile limit for our highways. It
was not her fault that several fathers
and mothers had no funeral the next
day, or worse still, the mangled re-

mains of children crippled for life.
This woman looked like she was well
and correctly brought up but this one
act stamps her as a reckless bag
whose home should be in some far
away jungle where her forebears~ hung
from limbs by the elongation of their
spinal columns. She belongs to that
breed of animals who blow their auto
mobile horns at any hour of the night
disturbing decent folks in their sleep.
It is the men and women of her class
who use Chestnut street for a speed
way and go by the hospital at high
speed while blowing their horns, at
all hours of the night, as if they were
the vanguard of an army that was TAX
ing the town. Half a square from the
hospital is a large sign which says
"Slow Down, HOSPITAL, Sick People,
Be Quiet" This sign is obeyed by
most people, but of course not by that
careless, reckless, don't give damn,
set who are responsible for all our use
on our streets and highways.
Now it is only small per cent of
people who regard not law and order
so it seems to me they should be made
to behave. I know just how to do it
is the question, for it is plain you
cannot reach them by precept or ex-
ample, and it is just as useless to try
to have them. correct their ways by
putting anything in print, for they
read nothing except those books and
papers i that portrays characters as
soiled as their own. So it is. obvious
nothing but the pohceman's c}ub will
avail to- protect law abiding, folks
from these monsters who are such a
menace to orderly daily living.

ONCE UPON FEB. 10th


Before Nicholas Copernik, the Pole
known as Copernicus, grew up and
began questioning established ideas
of creation, all humans Except some
lond dead and forgotten Greeks) be-
lieved that the Earth was the center
of everything in the universe; that
man was the one and only important
thing; that the little Sun, Moon, stars
were placed out there for mans bene-
fit, to light his mighty Earth.
Copernicus' De Revolutionibus Or
blum Caelestium, proving the Sun to
be the center of the universe, the
Earth a minor planet and a man in
significant indeed, was as epochal as
Andreas Vesalius De Humani cor
ports fabrica Con the Fabric of the
Human Body published the same
year. 1t laid the foundation of mod
ern astronomy.
Copernicus, who was born 465 years
ago today, was SO when his revolu-
tionary work was completed Years
passed before it was published. Print
ers were not interested or did not care
to risk punishment for publishing a
book that was so contrary to establish
creed. To get it printed by a friend
inserted, without Copernicus' know
ledge, a preface assuring the reader
the text was a mere computing device
not to be thought of a questioning
ecclesiastical authority and induce a
bishop to give it his imprimatur.
While Copernicus was engaged in
astronomical researches that were to
make him an immortal, he was filling

It will be extremely interesting to
watch the various exchanges of judi

judges with opposition trying to stay

Theoretically, Judge A shouldn't be
at all concerned about such profane
affairs as politics, but from practi-
cal point of view it isn't human nature
for Judge A to be satisfied holding
court in Cherokee county while Candi-
date B is campaigning vigorously in

Dare, for example.
And so Judge A will likely do bit
of term-swapping with Judge B, so
that both can get around bit among
