TWIN CITY CIVIC AND BIBLE
STUDY CLUB
By Estelynne Wagner


The Twin City Civic and Bible
Study Club met Wednesday, Feb
ruary 2, at BIT No. st. Adams st.
Miss Dolly Briley assisted the
hostess, Mrs. Frank Titus.
A report of the sick was given by
Mrs. Birdie Jones.
The Lords Prayer was the topic
of the evening discussion-the
president carefully analysed each
part of it. Too often this prayer is
taken lightly and merely repeated
instead of being studied for the real
meaning. Refreshments were
served.
We wish to thank all who aided
our cause by attending the dinner
last week.

this instruction free of charge at
the expense of time, labor and pa
thence. We have two young high
school graduates in the B. Y. P. U.
and Sunday School, Messrs. W. d.
Massie and Charles Milsap. They
are to be commended upon their in
telligence, ambition and patience,
for without these three qualities
they could not have succeeded.
Both boys are prominent in the So
cial and business activities of the
church.

The China brier. which grows in
Florida, was used by the Seminole
Indians to prepare a dish called
coontie, or contee, which was made
from the starchy roots of the China
brier. The roots were chopped up
and pounded in a mortar. Then
this meal was mixed with water
and strained through basket. The
sediment, when dry. was a red meal.
This meal was mixed with honey and
warm water. 1t jelled as it cooled
and was eaten with corn bread or

STEWART WINS
CONCERT CROWD
BY HIS COURAGE
Toronto Conductor Puts
Daring in His Baton
BY WILLIAM NEWMAN

Reginald Stewart, of the To
ronto Promenade Concerts, SC
widely heard in this country on
the air, was the National Sym.
phony's guest at the Watergate
last night.
Ten thousand listeners voted
him an interesting conductor. !
liked him because he is not afraid
to depart from the beaten path;
to take one of the most important
of romantic symphonies as the
center of a summer program, and
to treat it with a freedom that
challenged nearly all the precon-
ceptions of the composition which
few conductors find it possible to
abandon.
Stewart took nothing from the
beauty and eloquence of the first
Brahms symphony by reason of
his individualistic approach. He
likes speed and clarity. He likes
the contrast achieved by lingering
on an expressive phrase. He is
less concerned with the excite
ments of climax than with the
works several moments of concen-
trated feeling accumulated by
logical development.
He takes delight in making
clear the processes of this de-
velopment, and it was these rather
than the simple lure of melody
that seemed to provide his chief
|preoccupation. He has a fine art
of orchestral diction and q pas
sion for the string tone. Seem
ingly the color of wood-wind and
brass attract him less, for they
occasionally were slighted, and
this I think a fault, notably in
Brahms.
That he can deal expertly with
the drama Of brazen and reedy
sound he proved in his account of
the "Rienzi' overture which had
many interesting and even start.
ling effects. In short he is a con-
ductor of real imagination obliged
to do things in his own way, ham,
pered by no unreasoning respect
for the traditions.
The evenings soloist was Mar
shall Moss, the National SYM
phony's new concertmaster. He
is an inventor as well as a musician
and was to have demonstrated his
new electronic violin, an instru-
ment in which the tone producing
agent is a version Of the amplif1er.
Unhappily, the small amplifying
machine Of Mr.. Moss instrument
and the two mighty ones that
serve the orchestra could not be
made to work together; so he
played the violin that the old Ital-
ians perfected three and a half
centuries ago.
His assignment was the Mendels-
sohn concerto, which he took
rather deliberately, displaying at
times a tone of considerable beauty
which is distinguished not only
by its rather slow vibrato but also
by it's great clarity at high speed.
The Washington times., 1938-08-01

Ben had slammed the door shut.
Resentment over this violation
of his privacy zoomed. Was it ever
possible, he wondered, for a fel-
low to be left entirely alone when
he wanted to be. He took special
pleasure in hurting things into his
bag as he began to pack. A num-
ber of items had been misplaced.
That is, they weren't where he
had left them that morning.
If this woman would only
learn to quit meddling all would
be we'll. The next time he saw
that landledy he'd tell her where
she got off. He didn't need any
help from anybody and
a. glance at the clock had told
him it was time to leave. Packing
had taken longer than he had ex-
pected. On his way out he passed
the little old landlady on her
knees, scrubbing the Dashboard of
the ill-lighted hall. He stopped to
speak to her, as sharply as he
could, about entering his apart
ment.
She turned and looked up, draw
ing pathetically thin hand across
her wrinkled face, and smiled. It
was the face of one who had tried
hard throughout a long, hard life
and had never received the breaks.
Ben nodded, smiled weakly, and
walked out.
When he swung into the hotel
lobby he noted a clock for the first
time since leaving the apartment.
It was past time for the airport
bus to leave! He dashed to the

Here she was again, Ben

would be the time to tell her not
to interfere with his affairs, point
out that this room was his castle

no one had the right to 80.
Just then the announcer gave

"Say," he blurted, "did you by

The little old lady stepped back

Daily Short Story

Transportation desk and was told
that the bus had gone. There was
no chance of catching the plane
unless they were willing to hold it
up until 80.
The clerk picked up the phone,
got a wrong number, then the busy
signal. Finally the connection was
clear and he was told that the
plane had left. Ben turned away
and walked slowly out into the
summer night.
Riding home in a bus he had
continually chided himself for be-
ing so careless. A swell weekend
had been spoiled because of a few
minutes. He prided himself on his
promptneSs. He couldn't under
stand how this had happened.
AS he stepped into the apart
ment he had switched on the
radio. There was even more salts
faction in hurting a sock into a
corner, his shirt through the door
way into the bathroom.
Then the news broadcast had
come on. At once the strange
paralysis had crept over him. For
the words had said that the last
flight of Swift AirlineS had

trip of the day would accommo-
date him. He could be at his wife's
family home within three hours.
However, his whistle had died
on his lips as he entered the
apartment after an early dinner.
The worst had happened. The
landlady had entered, had seen
the mess and had done what she
considered her duty.

Everything seemed unreal. The
words of the announcer were like
the utterances of fate itself, pro-
nouncing the awesome decision of
an umpire in the stern game OF
life.
Ben walked unsteadily to the
chair by the window and looked
at the photograph of his wife and
baby on the nearby table. He
Gazed a long time at the picture.
The Washington times., 1938-08-01

THEN THE news broad
cast came on. At once a
strange paralysis crept over
Ben. The plane had crashed.
1t had burned with all aboard.
Then he glanced at the clock.
The feeling of horror and help
lessneSs that had swept over him
became intensified.
Dusk of the late summer eve
ming deepened as Ben thought
back over what had transpired
during the short time since San
dra and the baby had left for the
country for the summer. That
had been but two days before.
NO INTERFERENCE
Sandra had been particularly
lovely and loveable because of
her excited anticipation OF the
trip to her family home. And
the baby had chortled as if sens
ing the joy of the event. Ben
could still see them smiling and
waving through the Pullman win
dow as the train began to move.
That was on Thursday after
noon. It had been too late to
bother returning to the office, so
he had gone straight to the single
room in the old brownstone house
that was serving as an apartment
until times were better.
While he walked up the street
he had been thrilled by a certain
anticipation. Though he always
keenly missed Sandra and the
baby when they went away, there
was a definite satisfaction, at
least for the first few days, in
being quite alone in his castle
and able to do just as his fancy
dictated.
Under usual circumstances he
was neat to the point of fuSSineSS,
but there was special kick in
the opposite state of affairs when
he was alone.
Accordingly, he had tossed his
hat onto a floor lamp as he walked
into the one-room apartment,
slipped his coat over the back of
the neares: chair, draped his shirt
across the top of the dresser and
folded his trousers on a table
without benefit of the usual
hanger.
FAST-STEPPING CLOCK
There was additional satisfac
tion in the fact that the alarm
clock always was at least Is min
