MUSIC is HEARD.
IN CONCERT HERE.
Audience Is Delighted
With Program
BY WILLIAM NEWMAN

Harold Bauer, Carl Engle,
Mary Howe, Alice r. Long
worth, Leopold Stokowski, Fred
erick c. Walcott and other
notables have formed a society
known as The Friends of
Music in the Library of Con-
gress. One of its several pur-
poses is to give concerts in
which the programs shall be
drawn from the treasures Of the
art, old and new, that are to
be found upon the well-ordered
shelves of its music division
said. quite truly, to contain the
largest and most important col
lection in the world.
DR.. Hans Kinder, Nine. Olga
Averno and a chamber orches-
ira gave one Of these concerts
last night and it proved a de-
lightful event. The program
opposed the old and the new. 1t
contrasted forgotten master
pieces of Corelli, MonteVerdi,
Lully and Couperin, important
seventeenth century masters,
with works by such contem.
porary composers as Maurice
Jaubert, ndebrando Pizzetti and
Paul Hindemith, and the mod
ernS had the best of 1t, for the
moment
CYNICAL ATTITUDE
Yet the thoughtful listener
left with the conviction that a
century hence the same ancients
will have places on similar
program from which the twen-
tieth century composers repre-
sented last night may well be
missing.
The moderns, using the forms
created by these seventeenth
century innovators, echo, at
least in two instances last night.
the derisive and cynical attitude
of their generation. The mirrors
they hold UP to the classic pat
terms reflect distorted images.
BIT in modern art, content is
more important than form, and
here the use of color, rhythm
and the spiritual reactions thus
induced, were entertaining If
not profound. The ancients we're
earnest. The moderns often as
sumo cynicism as protective
coloring to hide the lack Of more
important feeling.

YOUTH PIONEERS"
Mrs. Becker told the group the
preservation of American democ-
racy rests largely with Ameri-
can women. She called the
youth of the ma ion pioneers"
adding:
mo higher ambition exists to-
day than the building Of civic
righteousness, clean politics and
protection for the home and
community.
New frontiers for achieve
ment more pressing and vital
than have challenged the ma.
tion for many generations,
open before the youth Of this
day. He must be trained in
true American principles, in or
der to meet them"
Mrs. Becker called this day
and age a critical" one and
said that the women of the
country are faced with a deep
responsibility and unlimited op-
portunity. She said:
Where are the young men
and women in whose hands
rests the destiny of our democ-
racy coming from if not from
consecrated homes! In a day
when she may choose pretty
much as she will what she will
do with her life, is the woman
power of the nation going to con-
centrate on making the home
such a place that he who goes
forth. goes to bless, to build
and to serve!
CRIME UP TO PARENTS
Sterling qualities of charac.
ter, such as capacity for hard
work, thrift, ingenuity and
trained hands willing to serve,
are in demand as seldom before
If our civilization is to endure,
I'VE must teach youth that a
return of the pioneering spirit
is the way to defeat a depres-
sion or to stop a recession"
Pointing out that II per cent
Of the 100000 enemies of So
ciety listed by police are youths
who have not yet reached ma
ture age, Mrs. Becker declared:
IF crime Is rampant, if oppor.
tunity and justice are denied, If
citizens are failing In their re-
Sponsibilities, it is because we
are departing from pioneering
principles. We have to recognize
that the problem Of crime Is,
above all, one of lazy, irrespon-
Sible parents"
Mrs. Becker declared that de-
mocracy is still the hope Of the
world, the way to peace and
Justice.
PLEA FOR RELIGION
The president general stressed
the need for a return to stand
ards based on religious rather
than materialistic ideals. Com
muniSrn diScards religion" Mrs.
Becker said, demanding su-
preme loyalty, while Fascism
SubordinateS religion, and a
Subservient religion is a lost

Is religion. True love of God
and of fellow-man will find a
way to remove the causes of

president of the Sons of the
Revolution, brought greetings to

throughout the State until such tins
as the licenses could bear the name
of the new Secretary Of State, Mr.
Marvel. Thus 1t was for the greater
/ part of last Thursday that matTi-
m0ny was at standstill.
During the day, Clerk of the
Peace Francis F. Morgan had been
notified from the Secretary Of States
Office to not issue any marriage Ii
eenses without bearin gthe name of
the new official, Mr.. Marvel, as we'll
as to recall all licenses granted from
his Office to various justices Of the
peace who are accustomed to grant
ing licenses. Clerk of the Peace
Morgan notified all of the magis-
trates issuing them.
Mr. Morgan's office, for the first
time since 1921, really became the
only place In the county where a
license could be obtained. But it fell
to the lot of Miss Emma Louise Bel
vile, of RehobOth Beach, this coun-
ty, age 20 years, and a trained nurse,
daughter of Mrs. Elizabeth Belville,
Of Wilmington, and Charles Belville,
of Delaware City, New Castle coun-
ty, and John Arthur Futcher, age "a
years, son of Mr.. and Mrs. Oscar
Futcher of Rehoboth Beach, to run
into the snags of the law. Clerk of
the Peace Morgan, having been nOti-
fled from the Secretary of States
Office to call in all licenses held by
the justices Of the peace bearing the
name of Mr.. Terry, then Secretary
of State, and at the same time not
issue any from his Office without the
name of the new Secretary of State,
Mr.. Marvel, placed any applicants
for a marriage license in Sussex
county in an embarrassing position.
They were faced with an order from
the Secretary of State to the Clerk
Of the Peace Morgan. Thus it resOl-
we'd itself into a situation whereby
Clerk of the Peace Morgan was the
only one that could issue a license. I
This could not be done, however, un- |
til 4:30 O'Clock last Friday afternoon
when at o'clock, Clerk of the Peace
Morgan got in touch with the new
Secretary of State, Mr.. Marvel, and
he ordered that a member of the /
State Highway police force forward
to his Office the book of marriage IL

so that he might sign all of the Ii

hours to do their shopping, if they
desired, before they could be grant,

turned to the office of Clerk of the

"This question Is an important

of the total revenue from domestic

some $3.50, 100000 as against a do
