Special Dispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, April 8.-Sales of
chemicals for the first three months
Of this year are likely to register
gain of Is to 20 per cent above the
level for the corresponding period
IN 1888. according to new analysis
appearing in Poor's Industry and
Investment Surveys Continued
business recovery is likely to be re-
f1ected in greater percentage gains
In the coming months.
Operations in the automobile
and textile industries, two important
chemical consuming fields, are ex-
pected to register substantial gains
above year-ago levels" continues the
forecast. THE sharp uptrend in
construction activity is stimulating
an increasing demand for chemicals
used in the glass and paint indus
tries. Incoming orders for chem
icals from other fields of activity
both consumer goods and capital
goods industries-should also ex-
pand to substantially higher levels
TN view of competitive condi-
tions, leading carbon black produc-
ers at the beginning of the year
failed TO raise domestic quotations
from "a cents pound to 3 cents,
as originally scheduled. Since prices
are generally fixed on contract
basis for six-month periods, no
change is likely over the period
ahead. Nevertheless, earnings of
leading carbon black producers for
the first six months this year are
expected to register satisfactory
gains above those for the corre-
spending 1888 period.
Further marked expansion In
the sales of plastics is definitely in
prospect. Demand has increased
rapidly in recent years, and pro-
duction now probably averages 10
million pounds annually. AS re-
suit of continued improvement In
quality, and aggressive research
work, many further uses for plastics
will be developed

In him 4 feeling Of alteration which
he called prayer" for whom music
was intended to express the other
wise inexpressible," could not hope
for understanding.
Debussy was the greatest musical
poet the world has ever known. His
extraordinary sensitiveness made
him particularly alive to nuances
that escape the ordinary composer,
nuances which only he has been able
to re-create with tonal usage that
touches chord in every ones heart.
Love of nature took on something
so delicate and intuitive with him
that he seemed to have some key
of its beauty denied to others. Once,
In speaking of Beethoven's PAS
torale Symphony" he ascribed its
popularity to the widespread mis-
understanding that exists between
man and nature" That his under
standing was true, loving and inti-
mate can be realized from the works
extolling her that he has left us.
Didn't Compose Easily.
Composing was not so easy for
Debussy as for other writer's. He
labored hard and long at every thing
that he did, taking six years for the
composition of "L'Apres-midi dun
Faun" and 10 years for his opera
"Pelleas ct Melisande." He was
never out of pecuniary difficulties
and supplemented his spare income
by giving lessons and accompanying
singers. For some years he wrote
critical reviews for prominent Pa
risian newspapers. Delightful read
ing, they show the whimsical side
of the man and give no inkling of
the deeply poetic nature underdeath
With clever phrase he could con-
demn or praise and always bring
the laughter, which it was his Joy
in the Conservatoire days, to evoke
Debussy died on March 25, 1913.
He lived to know the homage of the
entire world and at the same time
the controversy regarding his musi-
cal idiom that had dogged his foot
steps since his early student days.
But for those who know him today,
he has lifted the veil that obscures
for most of us the beauty about us,
the loveliness of little things and
the charm of silence broken by
family sounding tones. All his life

Pope Plus Appeals
To Spain 10 Return
To Catholic Ideals
Pontiff Praises Those
Who Bottled Against
Spread Of Atheism
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
VATICAN CITY, April 17.-Pope
Plus XII appealed to the new rulers
of Spain and to the Spanish clergy
yesterday to lead their war-torn
country back to the ideals of the
Catholic Church.
The Pope, speaking in Spanish,
broadcast his plea through a micro
phone set up in his private library
He told his bishops to counsel
benevolent kindness" in bringing
those who have been led astray
back to the principles of the
church"
In extending his "paternal con-
gratulations for peace and the
victory which has been granted by
God," the Pontif praised those who
he said fought in the defense of
"civilization" against the spread of
atheism"
He expressed special sorrow for
the absence from Spain of many
poor children violently torn from
their families"
Ou1 lll6 UllC lllO1C OAlolA CWo yVoAo
of civil strife in Spain. thousands
of children were removed to refugees
in France, Britain, Soviet Russia
and other countries.
Nothing the Pope declared,
would give me more pleasure than
to see them returned to the bosom
of their families"
He told the Spanish bishops it
was their duty to lead all Spaniards
back to the faith and acceptance of
the principles of the church as part
of the urgent work" of reconstruc-
ton.
Spanish Nationalist Generalissimo
Francisco Franco, head of Spain's
new government, drew commenda-
ton from the Pontiff as the illus
trious chief of your state" who has
given "unequivocal proofs" of Chris
tian sentiments and regard for
supreme religious and social in
terests.'

BY ALICE EVERSMAN.

1t Is rather difficult to reconcile
the heavy, stolid- looking Debussy
of the pictures one is accustomed to
see with the delicate poetic imagery
Of his music. Although French
born, Achille Claude Debussy had
distinctly Oriental features with
dark, expressive eyes, high forehead
and thick, black hair. His pale
complexion heightened the illusion.
AS he was little inclined to physical
exercise at any time of his life.
his figure was heavy and somewhat
flabby although he was not as lack
ing in muscular force as it appeared
However, he in no way suggested
the type of thought and symbolism
of his music.
Debussy had several likings that
were strongly part of his life. He
loved cats, always owning some and
supplementing these with porcelain
counterparts for which he would
willingly spend his last penny.
Friends found in his 1.-the move
ments and somnolent attitude real
resemblance to his favorite animal.
He adored the color green, having it
about him as much as possible, and
climaxing his preference by falling
in love with a woman with green
eyes. When he moved into mod
est apartment after his marriage
with Rosalie Texier, he had it all
done in green, the wallpaper and
rug of that color and even the
wood of chairs and tables stained to
match. He wore green neckties by
preference and even went so far as
to carry green cane.
Liked Cafe Life.
The cafe life of Paris attracted
him and he is closely associated
with the famed places where artists
of every branch congregated. Some
times he would sit with felinelike
composure without taking part in
the conversations about him and
again launch into violent arguments
or some bit of horseplay. He was
an excellent mimic and at the slight
est encouragement would convulse
his friends with his clever imita-
tions, one of his favorite bits of
nonsence being to sing serenades
using his cane as guitar.
All his life Debussy was re-
dictionary, causing much trouble to
his teachers by what they considered
his willfulness. Neither in his first
years of study nor afterwards did
they recognize the seeking of genius
for the path it would take. Debussy
himself was troubled by the strange
contrariness within him that for
bade his taking the orthodox way
others had so successfully followed
and sometimes was moved to dispair
and doubt of himself
Was Tolerated at Conservatory.
For IL years he was tolerated at
the conservatoire in spite of the an
tagonism and irritation his teachers
felt for him. A few of these, how
ever, dimly sensed that there was
something worth while in the boy
and that his continual battle against
rules might have deeper meaning
than mere Righteousness Among
his fellow students he had many ad-
mirers who enjoyed his eccentric
solving Of problems assigned to him
in lesson time and the strange mod
ulations that he called "a feast for
the ear"
Yet all this waywardness was as
sisting the development of a COM
poser whose mind detected nuances
