Randolph Macon, William and
Mary VS.. Guilford and Virginia Mill
tary VS.. Roanoke. Florida and Mis-

aren't fooling about getting started,
either. They will play Oklahoma

the Missouri Valley Conference, at
Oklahoma City.
Similarly, Iowa State of the Big
Six. Brigham Young of the Noun
tain States Big Seven and Wash
ington State Of the Pacific Coast

ney; Centenary, surprise loser of its
first game, against Hardin Simmons
Of Texas, and Texas Tech against
Texas Mines.

"Serenade of the Doll" and Cali

Mr.. Garzia in an impressionistic

"Galliwogs Cake Walk" played
somewhat slower than usual, seemed
appropriate and in keeping with the
composers idea. In the 'Poissons

with fish life, but the "Reflets Dams

Miss Alarie
Excels in
Bell Song
Felian Garzia
Gives Recital
AT Arts Club

Berenice Alarie, coloratura So
prano, who, in spite of her youth,
has won recognition in concert and
opera, closed last night the "Art of
Young America" series at the Phil
lips Memorial Gallery with an opera
benefit concert in which she pre-
sented four groups of songs and the
famous BELL Song" from Delibes'
'Lakme"
This latter showed Miss Alarie in
the best light through the smooth
ness and polish of her delivery and
the extra care given to details and
to tone production. Her coloratura
was steady and accurate, and while
her French was not quite as fluent
as her Italian or German, the words
were given proper infection.
Miss Alarie's voice is agreeable in
timbre and has sweetness in its
quality which Is heard to best ad-
vantage in songs such as Scarlatti'S
'Ie Violette" and Schumann's
"Rastlose Liebe," where long-sus-
tanned tones or phrases requiring
breath control are not apparent.
Songs such as Cornelius "Das Veil
chen" and Franz's "Sterne Nit Den
Gold'nen Fusschen" demand an in
terpretative ability which comes
with more experience, while the
technical difficulties of Handers
"Oh. Had I Jubal's Lyre" and Jo-
meli-Viardot's La Calandrina"
are songs where a certain virtuosity,
such as the ability of singing long
phrases in one breath or lending a
special brilliancy to runs and trills,
Is expected.
Miss Alarie was recalled several
times after each of her first two
groups and her aria was especially
enthusiastically received. She was
ably supported at the piano by Oscar
Heintze. The balance of her pro-
gram included songs by Faure, Du-
pare, Rachmaninoff. La Forge, j.
Alden Carpenter. E. Merz Butterfield
and j. Prindle Scott.

Attacking the Alley Dwelling Au-

gy Bottom" area, the Lincoln Civic
Association last night appointed a
special committee to appear before
Congress requesting hearing and
investigation of the authority's ac-
tivities.
Among those on the committee are
DR.. S. A. T. Boston, Thomas Over
ton, Mrs. M. H. Plummer and George
A. Parker.
The association also asked that
the housing code sponsored by the
Washington Housing Association be
adopted by the District and that q
limit be set for the number of per-
sons occupying house. Members
of the group claimed that many
home owners at present crowd six
families in a four or five room house,
thus constituting menace to
health.
A traffic light at New Hampshire
avenue, Twenty second and L
sIreetS NV. was requested by the
association
The group reaffirmed its opposi-
ton to any price increase in food
or rent in the District, asking that
legislation be enacted by Congress
setting up rent commission.

clatlon, presided at the meeting
which was held at the Stevens

Passenger Train
Leaves Rails al
Alexandria Crossinu
All Aboard Escape
Injury, but Traffic
Northbound Is Delayed

An engine, tender and three bag
gage cars Of Richmond. Freder-
icksburg & Potomac passenger train
bound for Washington were derailed
near Alexandria last night. tying UP
northbound rail traffic. No one was
injured.
Robert M. Colvin, superintendent
OF the F. r. & p at Alexandria, said
he was told a number of passengers
asleep in the rear cars of the trains
were not disturbed by the derail-
n1nt and did not know the mishap
had occurred until they reached
Union Station in Washington.
The train. a local which originated
at Jacksonville, Fla, was approach
ing Alexandria shortly before II
O'Clock when it jumped the track
near Telegraph road and Seminary
crossing
Officials in the division superin-
tendent's office at Richmond, Va,
said this morning they had not been
advised as to the cause of the mis-
hap.
They added that within a short
time after the derailment the pas
senger coaches proceeded to Wash
ington, using the freight tracks into
Alexandria and the main line from
that point on.
Other passenger trains delayed by
the derailment then moved on
northward over the same route,
they said.
Mr.. Colvin said that several ex-
perts from headquarters in Rich
mond inspected the tracks and had
not yet determined the cause of the
derailment.
Two cranes were being used to
place the engine, tender and bag
gage cars back on the tracks and it
was stated that the work would be
completed within a few hours. Rails
damaged by the accident also were
to be replaced SO that normal move
ment of traffic could be resumed.
