with the traditions of his calling, for
the German officer was no poor foe
man, as was we'll said by Captain
Patrick Dove of the Africa Shell, one
OF the nine vessels sent down in the
three-month raiding career of the
pocket battleship:
There is no mercy from Langs-
dorff when he has fighting to do, but
when he is not fighting he is fine
gentleman"-an honest estimate of
one man of the sea by another.
But the Fates withheld heroic role
in the last hours of the luckless
Langsdorff, and instead of sharing
the glamor that, even after twenty
years, surrounds the dashing exploits
of the commanders of the Karlsruhe,
Wolf, Moewe and Seeadler, World
War commerce raiders, he will be
remembered as the man who had to
scuttle his ship to avoid capture, and
then destroyed himself.

THIS AND THAT
By Charles Z. Tracewell.

other instrument. There Is something
about the keyboard which invites the
fingers for stroll over the little white
and black spaces.
This informal program comes from the
mind and heart Of the player, and, prop
erly done, enters into the mind and
heart of the nearer, If any, because 1t is
the expression of the good musical mood,
built on some knowledge and much love
OF music.
Similarity and contrast
The musician at the keyboard may
play several favorites by one composer,
led on by similarity of prior musical
mood in the composer, or he may allow
his knowledge of other composers to
function. In this way, his knowledge
of something another composer has done
Is brought into play, something in the
former composer drawing his attention
to the latter.
The photograph addict can make his
program in exactly the same way.
In this way it is possible to make some
rather striking changes, in the course
Of an hour or two.
If q listener were to hear only the
first and last compositions, he might
be amazed, but if he is fortunate enough
to hear all the changes, he realizes how
one composition suggested another, and
how appropriate the new number is,
in light of the one which went before.
Understanding this is source of real
qualification, unknown to players or lis
teners who listen by rote and who play
in the same way.
Il was seated one day at the organ"
And then what happened?
His fingers, idly wandering, hap
pened to strike chord of exquisite and
peculiar satisfaction.
This chord may be lost, but the idea
is very much part of this type of play
ing. according to mood, and can never
be wholly absent from persons who
fully realize the possibilities of music.
These possibilities hold vastly more
than those of performance and ap-
plause.
The program built on knowledge and
mood, primarily for ones own satisfac-
ton. makes perfectly plain the answer
to the question. why do you listen
to the music you do?"
The answer is, Because at the time
1t is tho music I want to hear"
The modern monograph, with rea-
sonable number of records permits the
non-performer to experience this salts
faction as well, in a measure, as the
performing artist.
It should be stressed that this type of
program cannot be determined in ad-
vance. but must be built as one goes.
To say. Now 1 will play Bach for
an hour" is not what we mean. You
may not want to play Bach, but some
body else, if your mood is changing as
it should.

Centralized Air Defense

Establishment by the War Depart
ment of a special "air defense COM
mand" to coordinate Americas de-
lenses against possible aerial at
tacks is an essential step toward
realization of the program of maxi
mum security deemed prudent in
the light of Europe's spreading fires
of conquest. According to Secretary
of War Woodring, the new command
will exercise centralized control of
anti-aircraft units, pursuit plane
squadrons and comprehensive air
craft warning service. Colonel James
E. CLANCY will be promoted to brig
adler general and assigned to the
command from his present post at
Mitchell Field, New York
Defensive types of aircraft now a
part of the General Headquarters
Air Force will be transferred to the
air defense command, under the re-
organization plan. The speedy inte-
ceptor- pursuit planes of the de-
fensive units thus will be ready to
take off with a minimum of red
tape and delay when a warning is
flash ID by the signal communica-
lions branch that invasion from the
air is impending. At the same time,
by means of the centralized control
system, anti-aircraft defenses can
be swung into action.
Apparently the new organization
is patterned along lines of the air
raid warning service now in effect in
England. A similar tie-up of signal
units, anti-aircraft batteries and
pursuit plane squadrons has func-
toned effectively along England's
coast since the outbreak of the Eu-
ropean war. The move by the War
Department, incidentally, should
tend to meet some of the criticisms
voiced by members of a congressional
group which recently completed an
extensive inspection tour of the
country's air defenses. One of the
chief complaints voiced by the in
vestlgators during the tour, accord
Ing to press dispatches, was that
America is not adequately protected
against attacks from the air. I'm
.doubtedly the air defense command
will have to be properly supplemented
with anti-aircraft guns, planes and
other equipment if it is to operate
IN an emergency with reasonable
success. In view Of the findings of
the inspection group, it may be as
sumed that Congress when it re-
convenes will be asked to give special
attention to this important phase OF
national defense.

Meunest Crime

If there is anything meaner than
taking candy from children, it is TAX
ing money from beggar. Especially
sad is the case of New York mendi-
cant who was recently robbed Of his
hard-begged pennies-two hundred
and twenty-six thousand, one hun
dred and ninety-seven of them. to
be exact. Few things are more dis
couraging to the ambitious panhan-
dler than to lose his last $2,26197.
Deprived of working capital, his
business is bound to suffer. His sales
slogan, Brother, can you spare a
dime?" will no longer have the old
zip it once possessed, when he was
fortified by the knowledge that he
himself in a pinch could spare over
twenty thousand of them and still
not be broke.
1t Is even sadder to reflect that the
disaster came upon him as the re-
suit of his attempts to repay a busi-
ness debt. His occupation, just be-
fore the story opens, had been chisel-
ing relief funds from the State Of
New York-until caught, that is, and
placed under bond for a monthly
restitution. He was getting along
nicely, with only hundred and forty
dollars due, when in wrong mo-
ment he tried to beg a nickel from
the wrong passerby. and instead
picked up four months in the wrong
place. To make sure of keeping up
his payments to the Relief Board,
the poor beggar turned his bank
book over to the wrong lawyer, as he
discovered when he emerged from
retirement only to find the account
appropriated. The lawyer is also
much saddened at being sentenced
to jail himself, and is said to be quite
worried for fear that while he is in
a cell, unable to protect his legiti-
mate interests. some INSCRIPTIONS
trtple-crosser may steal the money.

Holiday Sofety

AS the year moves into its final
weeks, a renewed and specialized
effort to reduce the number of traffic
deaths Is being made. Participating
In joint effort of national safety
organizations and the large cities,
the District Commissioners have
called upon every person using the
streets to exercise unusual care in
these closing days of December.
These are days OF Joy and celebra-
ton. But they are also days crowded
with greatly increased activity and
movement. They follow with their
combination of relaxation and jubi-
lation an extended period of hustle
and nerve strain. And in the past
they have been marked by the high
est rate of death and injury of any
comparable period throughout the
year. Each New Year In recent years
has found scores of Washington
homes darkened in sorrow for the
loss or permanent injury Of relatives
or close friends. Tragedy stalks
through the Christmas season,
choosing its victims at random.
Aside from the humanitarian as
poets and the element Of civic pride,
reduction in the city's accident rate
is important even in purely mer-
cenary consideration. Upon it de-
pend collision and liability insurance
rates, economic well-being Of many
families of the community, and such
matters as police protection and
provision for disqualification. So far
this year Washington has not had a
record of which it can be proud.
At this time last year eighty-two per-
sons had met death on the streets.
Today's figure is eighty-one. This in
spite of at least six full months of
concentrated activity on the part OF
officials, civic organizations and in
dividuals to assist in the education of
the public and the enforcement OF
the regulations.
A chance remains in these last
days of the year to redeem part OF
that record. But it will require the
full cooperation of every person
venturing upon the streets. Each
one has his own life to live, but it is
his responsibility to the community
to preserve it.

naval attache at Santiago, Chile,
capped his career. When he stepped
aside to make room for younger
officer, it was merely to employ
his freedom in another patriotic
duty. Up to the moment of his last
breath he was an American gentle
man engaged in business useful and
helpful to his flag. His judgment
was sound, his convictions firm, his
aspirations selfless. All that he was
and all that he possessed of talent
and devotion and loyalty he gave
without thought of reward to the
cause he loved. He personified the
best spirit of the Navy to the end,
and he will be remembered as a
symbol of that force.

What makes you listen to the music

What makes you listen to the music
you do?
It is question which scarcely bothers
the concert goer The music is provided
on the program; If you decide to go. you
know exactly what you will hear; and,
II you have heard the performers before,
you know exactly how you will hear 1t.
The home musician on his own, with
his piano before him. or his photograph
at command, must face the music.
The question then resolves itself into
one of mood.
What one plays is what one wants to
play. The desire is conditioned on all
the you know and are in music.
This knowledge and being, in music,
Is thing Of real satisfaction, provided
it is handled properly.
Caprice may dictate what one plays,
or hears played. There is not much real
satisfaction in that
knowledge is much the better
prompter This is the understanding Of
music which is built solidly on real &C
quaintance.

A famous conductor of yeSteryear
said, when told that Americans did not
understand Wagner, We'll let them hear
him until they do understand him"
Nothing takes the place of hearing, in
music Nothing, that is. except knowl-
edge, and even that must be buttressed
with hearing all the time.
Hearing Is the great dispeller of pref
prejudice than other arts, or life itself.
1t is safe to say that most persons with
reasonable aptitude for musical express
sion, which connotes a reasonable love
for music, will widen their horizon i'm
mensely by listening to composers whose
work they do not admire at first.
Often enough they will surprise them
selves by finding something for admira-
ton where before they saw and heard
nothing at all.
This amazing reaction, possible in all
walks Of life and art, is nowhere more
striking than in music.
To listen carefully may not mean to
ike, but TO listen carefully time after
time more often than not does stir up
admiration The musical life, as the
everyday life. is much better for admira-
ton, a positive thing, than for depreca-
ton, which is negative.
The musician at the piano, and the
music lover with a modern photograph
and number of records, are in the same
position:
Each must build his program.
In the concert hall and over the radio
the listener takes what is given him. but
at his instrument he makes his own pro-
gram and program notes in his own
head as he goes along.
Mood, not caprice, dictates.
This good mood is perhaps better ex-
emplified at the piano than with any

Says Restricted Immigration
May Aid Employables.
To the Editor OF The Star:

To the Editor OF The Star:
During the past $50 years we have
admitted approximately 40 millions of
immigrants to our shores.
For a long time there was an influx
Of 100000 immigrants yearly to this
country, and as result our labor
markets became glutted with the un-
employed from the labor markets Of the
world.
It is true that since the immigration
quota was cut to $4,000 years by Con-
gress, In 1929, our birth rate has declined,
in which both factors tend to alleviate
our labor situation.
If the current immigration quota is
maintained, or reduced to nothing for
q period of 10 years, and If the birth
rate continues to decline, 1t may be pos
sible that 60 years from today our in
dustrial system will be able to keep the
unemployables of this Nation happy
