Shanghai-The Japanese army
was moving Wednesday toward
Suchow, strategic railway center.
A determined Chinese resistance
had kept the forces from moving
forward for almost a month. A
Japanese army Spokesman stated
that the Japanese were now about
100 miles from Suchow and within
striking distance of Pengpu, next
major objective on the northward
drive. Chinese reports of a "stra-
tegic withdrawal" seemed to bear
out this statement.

try home. Tuesday was a holiday
in celebration of the arrival of
the infant who may one day be

gard was chosen because it is
the name of the Prince Bernhard's
mother.

ance". The senator also called at
tention to the similarity of the

ben tested for adaptation in this
State.
After planting, the seed must
be checked in the field by a rep

QUESTION:: How often should

ANSWER: Under average con-
ditions newly built terrace will
settle approximately one-fourth
of its height in a year and it is
therefore necessary that they be

QUESTION: What is meant by
a full ration for the dairy cow?
ANSWER: This simply means
feeding the animal to her full ca
pacity for milk production. In
determining how much feed to
give the animal she is, first of all,
given all the roughage including
hay and silage she will eat. The
grain fed is then gradually in
creased until Is pounds are be-
ing fed daily. The milk is weigh
ed carefully each day and when
the animal fails to make a cor
responding increase in produc-
ton for the increase in grain then
she has reached her maximum
production and the grain ration
can be set at that figure.

QUESTION: Is it profitable to

QUESTION: Is it profitable to
grade eggs before marketing?
ANSWER: Egg grading is not
only practical and profitable, but
it soon will be an absolute neces-
sity if the egg industry is to go
ahead. The purchasing public is
beginning to demand a quality
grade egg and the producer
must, sooner or later, familiarize
himself with standard egg grades
and quality as soon as a produc-
er of such a product. Not only
do eggs of known grade command
the high price on all markets,
but the grading gives the pro-
ducer an opportunity to Gull his
flock to better advantage and
save only those hens that are
producing the best eggs.

unless she is very fat. A mixture
of one-half pound per head daily
of corn and oats or corn alone
will be sufficient providing a le-
gume hay is fed. If the 1egume

STRING QUARTET
FROM BUDAPEST
OPENS SERIES
Audience Delighted
With Concert
BY WILLIAM NEWMAN

The series of chamber concerts
sponsored by the Whittall Founda
ton opened last night in the
Coolidge Auditorium at the Ii
brary of Congress with a program
by the Budapest String Quartet.
The famed Straoivari instru
ments which Gertrude Clarke
Whittall donated to the United
States Government. and which
repose in the Library of Congress,
were taken from their exhibition
cases and placed in the expert
hands of this group TO add the IN
comparable luster Of their tona
to the virtues Of performance
remarkable for its technical and
spiritual eXcellences.
LISTENERS DELIGHTED
No quartet that has visited us
from abroad this season has rep
resented this lofty department of
the art with more distinction.
They drew confidently and with
skill upon the reserves Of tonal
beauty stored in these magical in
struments by the cunning hand Of
their maker. They practiced all
the virtues of ensemble in a spirit
of controlled enthusiasm that COM
municated itself to the listeners to
klndle an equally eager response.
The climax of the evening ar
rived with the lovely A minor quar-
tet of Schubert. a work OF purest
genius, its only fault being its
seeming brevity. The aura Of ro-
nance that surrounds this music
is a fragile and evanescent enana-
ton of the spirit that rude hands
all too easily would disSipate.
TALENTED PERFORMERS
These artists from Hungary
caught this elusive substance and
projected it without making it tan
gible so that the listener lived
for the moment in a happy world
of unreality. The talent of these
performers to observe both the
letter and the spirit of the music
they present had grateful def
milton in the prefacing Haydn
quartet in D major, opus rs, which
was given sturdy and vital utter
ance yet kept within the classic
frame.
If the Brahms, opus ST. which
concluded the program, fell below
the levels reached in the Haydn
and Schubert works, that was the
fault Of the composer, not of the
performers. Brahms had his mo-
ments when all that he had to
offer was admirable workmanship,
but so did every other master.
The Budapest visitors remain
for concert Saturday afternoon.
They will 'oe followed, December
Is. NJ and 49, by the popular Cor
don String Quartet.

Du7atone Recital
Wins Praise

A new musical instrument had
its first public demonstration yes
terday, an event which may well
prove historic. It is the Ansley
Dynatone. which its inventor in
sists is not a piano, though the
tone is produced by piano strings
played by the ordinary piano &C
ton.
In its natural state it hardly
exceeds the sorority of the an
cient harpsichord. Subjected to
electrical ampliflcation, which de-
velops not the sound but the vi
bratlon frequencieS. it can develop
the power of concert grand. Yet
the cabinet that holds the mechan-
ism is no larger han the com.
mercial spinets of today.
The quality of the tone is more
bell-like than that Of the best
pianos and of longer duration,
when amplif1ed. This duration
makes the control of the damper
pedal difficult and some modifica-
ton of this part Of the mechanism
as well as more convenient con-
troll by the performer of the ampli-
flying means will be needed before
it can be used as completely sat-
isfactory concert instrument.
Even in its present state, a
form designed purely for the
home, it is adequate for such a
representative program as was
offered, yesterday. by the young
Finnish pianist, RENO Luoma, who
played harpsichord Bach with the
tonal fragility native to the music,
Chopin with all the resources of
the normal piano and Wrtuoso
pieces of List and DebuSSy with
the power and resource of a con-
cert grand.
This unusually gifted pianist
made convincing display of his
really extraordinary attachments,
repeating the success of his ap-
pearance with the National Sym
phony last summer at the Water
gate concerts. w. N.
