House Group Discusses
Public Aid Item
With OfficiuIs

The House Subcommittee on Dis
trict Appropriations today completed
hearings on the 1910 budget esti-
mates after discussing an item for
public assistance with Elwood Street,
director of Public Welfare, and Miss
Alice Hill, head of the Public AS
sistance Division of the Welfare
Department.
Chairman Collins said the appro-
priation bill would be whipped into
shape Immediately. Indications are
it will be reported to the House
early next week.
Burdette G.. Lewis, who made a
special investigation of the relief
situation for Congress, explained to
the subcommittee late yesterday the
results Of his inquiry. He also de-
scribed how the findings in his COM
prehensive report were checked six
times He is reported to have said
the checking in each instance was
made without the knowledge of
other investigators.
1t was said Mr.. Lewis argued that
with proper administration of relief
funds enough money could be saved
to care for worthy applicants who
have been denied assistance. His
report to Congress charged there

tured genius before "Parsifa" could
have been written. But even with
out this study we can acquire an
idea of this inner development, and
careful listening to these two mas
ter works will accomplish that if
nothing else.
Today we probably find Wagners
music more than any other on the
average programs of symphony Or
chestras. 1t has sung itself into our
hearts and our imaginations. But
the inevitable consequence is that
we have been unduly influenced and
have lost some of our sense of per-
spective and of objective judgment.
We rather accept it all without rem
dering an account unto ourselves. 4"
To help the music lover 60 through
this occasionally very healthy proc
ess no better choice than that of
these two records now to be issued
could have been made, as they rep
resent, as I have said, two entirely
different, nearly opposite states of
the constantly effervescent and
ever-ripening mind and soul of the
genius Wagner.
For those more especially inter-
ested in the essential differences be-
tween the two great ovrtures I
would advise the buying of the
pocket orchestral scores they can
be obtained at small price, and fol-
lowing the music while playing the
records several times. The resultant
understanding and consequent in
creased critical appreciation will be
equally astonishing and delightful.

Music Appreciation booth in the

The great Wagner, creator of the
modern music drama, revolutionized
opera by his bold defiance of all
conventions. His family was horri-
fed when Wagner decided, at the age
Of Is, to become composer.
Laughter Greeted Effort.
Samuel Chotzinoff, the celebrated
music critic and radio commentator,
who selected the list of symphonic
works being offered in The Stars
campaign, tells us that in 1880, in
a theater at Leipzig, occurred the
first performance of concert over
ture in B fiat, composed by a IT.

three different colors of ink-red for
strings, green for woodwinds and
black for the brass. The conductor
had the utmost difficulty in per-
suading the orchestra to play the
overture. and when the audience
heard it, amazement gave way to
laughter, in which even the COM
poser was forced to join.
Wagner played the piano so bad
ly that his teacher once told him
he would never amount to anything.
But his poetic talent had begun to
manifest itself when he was only II
years old. At 16, he had completed
tragedy-a sort of compound of
Hamlet and LEARN which he
killed off AZ Of his characters, and
had to bring back most of them
as ghosts to prevent the play from
coming to an untimely end.
BY 1884, when the composer was
81, he had become conductor of
the Magdeburg Opera Company.
He went on from there to a dazzling
career.

BY HANS KINDER.

In the preludes by Wagner, to be
issued in The Stars Music Apprecia-
ton Campaign today (the ones to
"Parsifal" and THE Meistersinger")
we get two entirely different and
contrasting aspects of Wagner's ge-
MUS. For whereas the "Parsifal'
prelude is a process of inner force
and of intense spiritual exaltation
The Meistersinger" vorspiel on the
contrary is one of joyous and ju-
bilant physical exultation.
For the prelude to the opera
"Meistersinger." by Wagner, we of
the National Symphony Orchestra
receive constant requests. Small
wonder, when we consider the ever
returning, rich beauties of this score,
beauties of melody and harmony
and counterpoint, of gayety and wit
and of a fervor and magnificence
which are equally irresistible to the
artist and the layman.
If one studies the scores of these
two works one notices the enor-
nous inner development which must
have taken place in the mind and
