American Farmers
Mutual Seeks Our
Insurance Risks

Announcement was made this
week of the licensing, by the
American Farmers Mutual Insur-
ance Co., an auto insurance com
pany located in the Twin Cities, Of
three Negroes as underwriters for
the firm.
This firm has never discrimi-
mated in selling insurance to any
individual regardless of race, creed
or color. Some months ago when
C. M. Mitchell, Jr., of the st. Paul
Urban League was investigating
the widespread discrimination
against colored people by various
auto insurance companies he con-
tacted American Farmers Mutual
and found it was one of the few
companies which practiced abso-
lutely no discrimination against
American citizens of any nation
atty.
Through the interest of the As
ISOLATED Credit Union and its
board of directors the company de-
cided to license three Negro agents
in the Twin Cities as a further
evidence of the firms sincerity and
interest in the protection of Negro
drivers of motor vehicles who need
fire, theft, and liability coverage.
Elsewhere in this issue is an adj
vertisement by American Farmers
Mutual outlining the company pol
icy and giving the names of its col
ored representatives.

By Alice Eversman,

The Columbia Phonograph Co.
has much to offer the public this
month in its releases. There is first
of all another volume of Delius'
music issued by the Delius Society
of which Sir Thomas Beecham is
artistic director. This release is
Volume III and contains the entire
score of "Appalachia." the final
scene of "Hassan," incidental music
written for the play of that name,
the prelude to his opera, "Irmelin,"
and La Calinda," dance from his
other opera, "koanga."
The music of "Appalachia," which
Is in 10 parts, was inspired by his
experiences during the composer s
venture at growing oranges in
Florida. The name meaning North
ern America" stems from old Indian
days and the principal themes are
old slave songs and as such bears
the subtitle Variations on an old
slave song for full orchestra with
final chorus" It was written in
1902 and first performed In 1904.
The peculiarly sympathetic un-
derstanding of the fine old Ameri-
can Negro songs which has colored
his symphony and quartet, is again
to be found in this work. Delius,
who sought seclusion in order that
he might find himself once more,
has combined his own introspective
feelings to the nostalgia music he
heard around him on the lonely
plantation, IS miles from any house
or store.' He has taken the slave
song and given it changes of char
acter through his variations with
out destroying its beautiful simplicity.
A solo voice and chorus are brought
In toward the end intensifying the
effect of music heard from the dis
tant slave quarters.
The style Of writing associated
with Delius is well applied also to an
atmospheric depletion of "the story
of Hassan of Bagdad and how he
came to make the Golden Journey
to Samarkand" in the incidental
music later arranged in a concert
suite with the inclusion of the here
recorded closing scene. It is effec-
lively written, with a mans voice

Final Philadelphia
Concert Brings
Master

The fifth and final concert by the
Philadelphia Symphony Orchestra
IN Constitution Hall on Tuesday
evening will bring Leopold Stokow-
ski for his only appearance in the
Capital this season. His program
will offer familiar compositions of
Bach. Brahms and Wagner and the
first performance in Washington of
Dmitry Shostakovitchs symphony
No. S, Opus A." This latter work
will occupy the entire second half
of the concert.
The first half will open with
Bach's "Toccata and Fugue in D
Minor in StokoWski's own tran
scription, the Brahms Variations
on a Theme of Haydn" on the orig
inal OF which is inscribed, "Diverti-
mento nit dem Chorale st. Antoni."
and the Magic Fire Music" from
Wagners opera, die Walkure.'
Considerable interest centers
around the new Shostakovitch SYM
phony. which was written in cele-
bration of the Goth anniversary of
the Republic of Soviet Russia and
was first performed in this coun-
try less than year ago over a
Nationwide network by the N. B.
c. Orchestra with Artur Rodzinski
conducting.
For the recent Boston Symphony
Orchestra performance, John N
Burk. who provides the notes for the
program. stated that the symphony
lis conceived, developed and scored
for the most part with great SIM
plicity." He added: THE themes
are usually pelodic and long,
breathed in character. The manip-
ulation of voices is plastic but never
elaborate. The composer tends to
present his material in the pure me-
dium of the string choirs, notably in
the opening and slow movements
where wind color and sorority are
gradually built up. The first move
ment and the last gain also in in
tensity as they unfold by a grad
ual increase of tempo throughout" !"
The symphony is in four move
ments and follows closely the ira
ditional form for each one.

cal faculty. He is music critic Of
one of the leading Belgian news
papers. He writes of this work that
he chose the form of the ballade in
order to free himself from the re-
strictions of the classical concerto
form and to enable him to use and
develop his ideas with the utmost
freedom.
Martinu, who is 48 years old. has
to his credit sizable list of works
that includes seven operas, seven
ballets, dozen orchestral works,
and innumerable chamber music
compositions. In addition he has
composed violin concerto and two
piano concertos.
American Premiere.
For the unusual combination of
string quartet and orchestra he has
written one concerto, to be heard
next Sunday. 1t was given it's Amer
lcan premiere six years ago by the
Boston Symphony Orchestra under
Koussevitzky.
Generally considered the most
outstanding of the younger Czecho-
Slovakian composers, Martinu be-
gan his musical career at the con-
servatory in Prague with the inten-
ton of becoming concert violinist.
But he turned with increasing
earnestness to composition and it
was not long before he gave up the
thought of virtuoso career for the
life of composer.
His first teacher was Josef Suk,
well-known nationalist composer.
who influenced Martinu but slight
ly. The latter with his strong af-
flnity for French impressionistic
music went to Paris in 1923 and con-
tinued his musical studies under the
famed French composer. Albert
Roussel. For several years his COM
positions reflected his enthusiasm
for the French school of modern
composition, but suddenly his style
changed completely and his work
became intensely nationalistic. Wig
orous rhythms, an unusual har.
monic idiom and exotic melodies
stemming strongly and obviously
from his native land are character
istics of his later works of which
the concerto for string quartet and
orchestra is one.
The remainder of next Sundays
program will be announced within
the next few days.
The program will open with
Schubert's symphony No 8" known
| as the "IJnfiniShed" Svmnhonv and
will further include George Schu-
mann's Dance of Nymphs and
! Satyrs" and Ravels "Bolero."

sing program of sacred polyphony
under the direction of Arthur
Howes, F. A. G. o. The continental
school will be represented by works
OF Palestrina and his pupils, Vittoria,

lish school will be represented bv
works of Farrant, Tails, Weelkes

In this program the much-dis-
puted "Adoramus Te," long at
tributed to Palestrina, but now
known to be the work of his pupil
F.: Anerio. will be sung, as will
Tenebrae Factao Sunt," likewise
thought to be the work of Palestrina
until recently, but actually the work
OF another pupil, Ingegneri. Both
compositions are worthy of the great
master of polyphony. however.
The we'll known Lord for Thy
Tender Mercies' Sake" listed in
publishers catalogues as the work
OF Richard Farrant, is so different
from other works of this English
polyphonist that musicians have
long doubted its authenticity. It
closely resembles certain compost
tions of Weelkes and of Tye, the
former of whom will be represented
by his Let Thy Merciful Ears, o
Lord on this program. Other we'll
authenticated compositions of Far
rant will be heard in this concert,
