also to have appeared yesterday.
Doda Conrad, bass, was i'll, however,
so that the burden Of the vocal
performance fell on Noemie Perugia,
soprano: Nathalie Kedroff, contralto,
and Hughes Cuenod, tenor. In the
first number, Pour les Funerailles
dun Soldat," by Lili Boulanger,
sister of Mile. Boulanger, the solo
parts were taken by Nine. Kedro1,
substituted for Mr.. Conrad, and Mr..
Cuenod. The work of the young
composer. who died at an early age,
has a noble, somber quality that i'm
mediately expresses the deeper sig
nificance of the title. There is a
gripping power in 1t that registers
in spite of the simplicity of its form
and glowing beauty that radiates
throughout, sometimes dimly and
again with effulgence.

BY ALICE EVERSMAN.

The National Symphony Orches-
ira covered itself with glory yes
terday afternoon with a superb in
depreciation of Beethoven's great
"Eroica" symphony. Inspired by
DR.. Kinder, whose musical knowl-
edge was matched by his personal
enthusiasm and reverence for the
work, the orchestra reached new
peak Of excellence In its playing.
This was the richly rewarding per-
formance which Dr. Kinder offered
the large audience in the first half
of the program, but the remainder
held an equally delightful and stim-
ulating musical feast In the unusual
works given under the direction Of
the renowned French musician,
Nadia Boulanger.
Besides an exceptional fineness
from a technical angle, the per-
formance of the "Eroica" was par
ticularly distinguished by the imagi-
nation and feeling which DR.. Kin
dler brought to it. It was as noble
a presentation as one could wish
to hear, yet there was a poignant
human quality to it, powerful in its
appeal. The first movement was
iridescent with its varying hues, the
result of the accenting of every
detail with a corresponding emo
tional warmth. and with deep per-
sonal conviction. The famous
funeral march. as played yesterday,
was an unforgettable musical expert
ence, so profoundly moving was it in
its solemnity. yet with dramatic sig
niflcance woven into it.
The lively pace of the scherzo, with
its contrasting broader moments,
and the nobly conceived interpreta-
ton of the finale with its elements
of power we're but combinations of
the splendid performance of the
first two movements. In fact. the
entire reading was 50 alive with the
feeling that DR.. Kinder infused into
1t, which blended with his musical
conception Of it to an imperceptible
degree, that 1t must remain the high
point of the orchestra's artistic at
tainments. The storm Of applause
that followed its completion could
speak but a part Of the audiences
reaction for there was a deeper emo
ton that could not be expressed in
visible form.
Mile. Boulanger. whose fame is
widespread wherever musicians
gather. has added to it by her re-
cent appearances as conductor of
the best-known orchestras in the
United States. 1t was a privilege
to have her direct the National

Prohibition Foe Asks
Hearing on Measure
To Make District Dry
'Busybodies in Sticks
Who Force Prejudices
On D. c. Are Raped

Capt. w. H. Stayton, veteran foe
Of prohibition, today asked for a
hearing before the House District
Committee on bill that would make
Washington bone dry.
Il wonder why Representative
Guyer is willing to sponsor this bill,
year after year, when he must know
so well that prohibition in his own
State Of Kansas is responsible for
shocking conditions and disreputable
drinking habits" Capt. Stayton as
serted.
1T is all very well for busybodies
out In the sticks to petition Congress
to make the Nations Capital q
model dry city'-it is nothing to
them if, by forcing their personal
prejudices on Washington they
bring back the low speakeasies that
flourished with prohibition, if they
again put poison liquor within the
reach Of children, if they recreate
the unwholesome atmosphere which
followed wet-drinking, dry-voting
hypocrisy, or if they deprive the
District of Columbia of millions OF
dollars now available for general
District expenses"
AS executive director of the Re-
peal Associates, Capt. Stayton asked
Chairman Jennings Randolph of the
House District Committee for an
opportunity to present the views of
his organization. He said Repeal
Associates, the successor to the AS
ISOLATION Against the Prohibition
Amendment, "at least morally" rep
resents many Of the l5,000.0 900 who
voted against national prohibition.
Another proposed change in the
Districts liquor law drew a protest
from Milton S. Kronheim, president
OF wholesale liquor firm.
He asked all citizens associations
to protest proposed substitution of
Government-own dispensaries for
the existing retail liquor stores. In
letters to heads of all associations
Mr.. Kronheim called attention to
the number employed in Liquor
stores here and said the dispensary
system would drive thousands into
the ranks of unemployed and de-
prive Federal and District govern
ments Of large revenues.
Mr.. Kronheim pointed out that
the A. B. c. Board had found but
one violation Of the law against
sales to minors in the past year.

In its order, a group Of numbers by
the l7th century composer, Monte
verdi, was sung by the vocal ensem-
BILE. The accompaniment were
played by cello and contrabass or
four cellos, with Mile. Boulanger
standing at the piano and with the
right hand lightly supplying the
treble part. The charm Of this
barely audible background enhanced
the evocative style of the singers
who are especially skillful in the
creating of moods. The ease Of their
vocal production permits them to
indicate every slight change of effect
in subtle manner and the lovely
songs were rich in sensitive color
ing.
The gay rhythm Of "Maledetto sia

noble line Of "1llustratevi o cieli"
as Miss Kedrof sang 1t, the three
singers beautiful Interpretation of
"Lamneto della Ninfa" and "Lascia-
temi morire" aroused ever growing
enthusiasm until it reached an ova-
ton which brought the artists and
Mile. Boulanger out repeatedly.
The final number was the over
ture by Szalowski, a pupil Of Mile.
Boulanger, a vigorous work tinged
with carnival spirit expressed in q
colorful play of orchestral tone.
Mile. Boulanger gave it a brilliant
performance, which formed q splen-
did climax for one of the most OUT

AGED VETERAN

PASSES AWAY
William e. Bennett, Of Crisfield,
Aged SO Dies At Home
OF Daughter

William e. Bennett, of Crisfield
aged Civil War veteran, died Sunday
evening at the home of his daughter
Mrs. E. Fl. Bethard, of Crisfield. He
had been in poor health for some time.
He was a native of Worcester Coun-
ty but had been living in Crisfield
with his sister for the past II years.
He was Crisfield's oldest Civil War
veteran; he enrolled in Company B,
Fifth Maryland Infantry in September
1864. He was wounded in the line
Of duty at Fair Oaks, Va, on October
"a, 1864. His left arm was amputat-
ed at the shoulder. He was born in
September 18th, 1916 and was 90
years old.
Funeral services were held Tuesday
afternoon at 200 o'clock from EN-

Another one said that when the men
of the law drop in, they won't know
his back room from one of belmont
co.'s best, and, if they will let him
know the day and the hour, he'll give
them set-out which will keep them
there all day-they forgetting to go
elsewhere.
Then, as the shadows begin to gath
er, cast by the rays of declining
sun; as the pale blue moon begins to
shed it's reflected light over a peace
full world as the curfew tolls the knell
of parting day; as the artificial lamps
start their blinking efforts to help
wayfaring man; as some retire to the
soothing arms of Morpheus; and as
some direct their footsteps in the
paths so recently trod by those bent
on bending the law-breakers (o1
breaking); then, what do we see?
Why, that form bench is back to its
pristine stance; that case in the wall
is doing business as of yore; that
shoe-repairing outfit contains some
thing else besides shoe polish bottles;
Delmonico's replica has disappeared
and the blind tiger is grinning; and
the whole face of the inside, outside,
downside, upside world has changed.
Presto! Psst! Bingo! and all is well
until the next warning comes. The
cycle is repeated; the lightning
changes dazzle the eyes; the history
is rewritten; all is lovely, and the
goose hangs high.
How-some-ever, it's a long lane that
has no turning. Maybe the gods have
sent some gifts in the way of officers,
who will make us sinners see the error
of our ways, and induce US to quit our
evil deeds. That is "a contamination

POCOMOKE BOYS
SUFFER DEFEATS
WEDNESDAY EVE.
TexacO Is Beaten By Team From
Acc0mack; Guards By
Salisbury Quint

Two very interesting games Of bas-
ket ball were played in the local ar
mory on Wednesday evening last. The
preliminary was a close contest be-
tween a quint from Accomack County
styling themselves "The Whispering
Pines, and the five representing the
Texaco Company. The result was %
to 20 in favor of the visitors.
The locals were little off color in
the first half, being on the short end
of a II to z score. In the second
half, Pocomoke's representatives came
to life and scored Is points while
holding their opponents to a scant 5.
Their rally was q little too late to
overcome the lead piled up by Acco-
mack in the first two quarters, but
that lead came very near being wiped
out.
The second tussle was between the
Trinity" club, of Salisbury and the
Pocomoke National Guard cagers.
This game was nip and tuck affair,
until a very few moments before the
end, when the boys from Wicomico
pulled ahead to win by a score of 50
to 20.
At half time the game was tied up
ut 1912, and during the third quarter,
the locals forged ahead at one point,
but failed to show enough to hold it,
and the game was lost in the last five
minutes of play.
