Mrs. Bond was glad of the gathering dark

broken at the end because of tears she could
not hold back longer. If Daddy were only

him. He would know what to say.

She hesitated minute, then stepped out into
the late afternoon sunlight. Evelyn's eyes
we're on her, and she smiled trying to make
her appearance casual.
The creaking rockers slowed and stopped.
Evelyn said, 1T S no use, Mother, | won't

Mrs Bond rose as though an unseen force

she went slowly into the house.

Navy Band Orchestra
Excellent in Concert

1t was with a sense of pride that
one listened to concert given by
the United States Navy Band Sym
phony Orchestra at the Navy Yard
last night and applauded the good
work done by its musicians and
soloists under the capable direction
of 1t. Charles Benter.
An ambitious program included
Dvorak's Carnival Overture On.
92," Wagner's "Siegfried's Rhine
Journey" from "Gotterdammerung, "
Saint Saens' First Concerto" for
violoncello and orchestra, LISTS
Second Hungarian Rhapsody" and
Sibelius' "Symphony No. 2 in D Ma
jor, Op. 49," The performance was
noted for its pure intonation, clarity
of execution and freedom of delivery,
which spoke we'll for the preparation
of the program. The cadenzas for
the harp and clarinet, in Liszt's
Rhapsody" were executed with a
truly professional finish and brilli-
ancy. The accompaniment supplied
by the orchestra for the concerto
had precision and accuracy that en-
hanced the enjoyment of the whole.
The soloist Of the evening was
musician Jean Kayaloff, who was
heard in the difficult cello concerto
by Saint-Saens. His style. fine spun
tone and his technique place him in
a virtuoso class. He plays in the
altissimo with the ease of a violinist,
ripping off treacherous passages
with utmost dexterity Of left hand
and flexibility of wrist and right
arm. His mastery exceeds by far the
usual standards Of good cello playing
and his readings of strains where
sentiment was required, were fully
satisfying. AS his encore, Mr.. Kaya-
loft chose the Swan" by the same
composer, which he played with q
breadth of tone and nobility.
The audience was a large and an
appreciative one and applauded
heartily each selection. E. de S.

One of the interesting things
about this particular horse is that

about o'clock Monday night. That
may come as blow to any one who
thinks the best horse in the world
is none too good for Miss Lille, but
there it is. National Theater at

Mr.. Plohn did not know. And

who still have chance to study
their animal psychology.

the liver and dropsy. Lately chill
dren's specialists have raised the
question as to whether certain cases
of enlargement of the heart may not
be due to the same vitamin b def
cheney. Some children showed en-
largement of the heart, with slug
gishness, slow response to stimula-
ton and a history Of deficient diet.
All of these symptoms improved
after adding vitamin B, in the form
Of cereals or yeast, to the diet.
Lack of Vitamin C
The cause of scurvy is lack Of
vitamin C, which is found in fresh
fruit juice, especially lemons, toma-
toes and oranges. In a large num-
Der of children in Vienna who had
scurvy, as result of the restricted
rations after the World War, there
was enlargement of the heart and
sometimes fatal termination from
heart failure. Heart failure can be
produced experimentally in animals
who have been fed a deficient diet
and have had scurvy produced.
In still another form of vitamin
deficiency due to lack of vitamin D,
which is found in fish oils, especial.
ly cod liver oil, there was also dis
covered symptoms which point to
heart failure.

Heart Trouble Due
to Vitomin Lack?

A typical case, reported by a
physician in the neighborhood, was
that of a mountaineer's child in
Kentucky, aged years, who pre-
sented an extremely emaciated ap-
pearance, with dry, thickened, pale
skin and a sunken, aged face; his
pulse was very weak and very rapid,
the heart enlarged, and murmurs
could be heard. He had obviously
been eating ration which was def
cient in many vitamins, particularly
vitamin D. His recovery on we'll
balanced diet and rest was striking.
He gained nine pounds in weight
during the two months he was in
hospital residence, his skin became
normal in color and texture, and his
face round and youthful. His symp-
toms entirely disappeared after a
few weeks Of appropriate treatment
and his heart returned to normal
size.
Although the effect of malnutri-
ton upon the heart in children is
rare, such cases do occur and physi-
clans should be on the alert to spot
them.
