Mrs. Cheatham. The taxing music
lies easily in Mrs. Cheathams voice
and she sang it with spirit that con-
tinued the opening exultant chorus
of the "Magnifcat The choral
writing in this work has a harmonic
richness and a soaring quality very
expressive of the text
A moment of real drama was Mr..
Tittmann's singing of the bass air,
where the authority of his presenta-
ton and his true Bach style arrested
the attention. The voices of Miss
Apple and Mr.. Whittemore blended
excellently in the EFT Misericordia, 3"
while Miss Watkins sang the diff
cult soprano air with noble effect
The trio of women S voices is an un-
usual treatment both as to form and
vocal harmony. Bringing the glori-
Gus hymn of the Virgin to a close
are two magnificent choruses where

Bach Sung
In Advent
Program
Choral Society
Excellent at
The Cathedral
BY ALICE EVERSMAN.

The Washington Choral Society,
Louis Potter, conductor, chose some
of the loveliest music of Bach for
its Advent program last evening in
the Washington Cathedral. In
"Sleepers Wake" and "Magnificat"
the choral group had as soIoists
Cathreen Carrico, soprano; Howard
Samsel, bass, and Joseph White
more, tenor, in the former work and
Charlotte Watkins, soprano; NADIA
lynne Powell Cheatham, mezzo-
soprano; Mary Apple. contralto:
Joseph Whittemore, tenor, and
Charles Trowbridge Tittmann, bass,
in the latter. Lyman McCrary at
the organ, Mildred Kolb Schulze at
the piano and a symphony orc.les-
ira provided the accompaniment.
The singers were stationed near
the altar rather than close to the
organ as on former occasions as the
organ took less part in the accom-
paniment than the orchestra. The
amplification system in the Cathe-
dral should have made it possible
for the volume of the solo voices to
be heard clearly in the farthest cor
ner of the large edifice but for some
reason the effect was not the antici-
pated one of clarity and sorority.
The chorus came through with
proper robustness, the voices having
resonance and melloWness in the
we'll balanced ensemble.
Among the soloists were nicely
contrasting voices, the pure, lyric
tenor of Mr.. Whittemore offset by
the splendid, deep resonance of Mr..
Tittmann's bass. The duet in
"Sleepers Wake" sung by Miss Car
rico and Mr.. Samsel, was the high
light of the cantata, Mr.. Samsels
fine voice being effectively heard in
the solo recitative later. The sing
ing Of the cantata was preceded by
two chorals, Now All the Woods
Are Sleeping" and Wake, Awake.
for Night Is Flying sung by the
choir of Calvary Methodist Church
from the apse.
The short orchestral lnterlude be-
tween the duet and the choral for
tenors is one of the most exquisite
bits that Bach has written and the
orchestra played it with great feel
ing. The finality in which the organ
adds its majestic tone brought forth
a rich volume of sound making a
most effective climax.
The beautiful song of Mary that
Bach wrote for the Christmas of
1923 in Leipzig gives greater oppor-
tunity to the solo voices, beginning
with the EFT Exultavit," sung by

, look alike. There are five genera
of moles in America, and seven
species and subspecies in the group
Scalopus.
This engineer of the garden
meadows, fields, open woodlands and
stream banks is one of the most
fascinating of mammals to study
He is solitary worker, an individ-
ualist, a tunneler without peer in
the animal Kingdom. He Uses uE

measured, since it often disfigures

accomplished in the flower or vege-
table garden.
Insects are what the excavator
is after. The network of roots
found in the way are expertly
shipped off as the hunter pursues
the grubs, earthworms and insects
to be found among them.
In the northern part of their
range the young moles are born in
March or April. In cozy nursery
IL to 18 feet from the surface and
usually at the foot of pasture grass
or a shrub, four to five naked, blind
babies snuggle close to their mother
The mole is a lone worker and will
not tolerate an invader upon his
hunting preserves. Meeting head on

affair. Biting and scratching with
sharp claws and still sharper teeth
each is determined to throw the
other upon his back, so that the
vanquished one may be siezed by

swift movement of the blade-claw OF

By LILLIAN COX ATHEY.

In the eastern part of the United
States the common mole, an animal
of great industry and secretive
habits, is known by many because
of the damage wrought upon the
roots of valuable plants and the
change in the contour and firm
ness of the soil in which it's activities
have taken place.
Many nature lovers find it inter-
esting to analyze the scientific name
of an animal, as it enables them
to trace with accuracy the reason
