Whatever the vicissitudes or the
heartbreaks, the sweet, happy nature
of Mozart could never be over
whelmed. The family bond was
never loosened. Long letters full of
detail were written to the father
from every point Of his sons wan

the letters to "Nannerl," who soon
gave up professional playing, full of
all kinds of nonsense and play on
words with ever an affectionate
greeting to some pet. "A thousand
kisses to Bimperl,' the dog. Gay
balls were held in Wolfgang's and
Constance's house until late in the
morning or long dreamy days spent
by the constant lovers in the fields.
There was always the true attach

Only IS years that divinely gifted,
happy soul knew an earthly ex-

enormous output of music, beautiful,
ever changing, immortal. And
through it all shines the radiance of
the spirit, unspoiled by adulation

Wilkes Barre News Guild
Ends City-Wide Strike

By the Associated Press.
WILKES-BARRE, Pa, March o.
The Wilkes-Barre local of the Amer
lean Newspaper Guild voted early
today to end a strike called five-
and-a-half months ago against the
city's three daily newspapers.
Robert w. Johnson, editor of the
Record, said the publishers hoped
to resume publication this week.
Expressing doubt, however, that
this would be possible, he said the
papers still have problems which
must be solved" These included
negotiations on contracts with the
typographical and pressmen's unions.
The guild vote-94 to 26-ratified
a contract tentatively agreed on
Monday in New York by the pub
fishers and representatives of the
local guild.
Morris Watson, international vice
president of the guild, said terms
Of the agreement included:
Twenty-week severance pay, a
guild shop, five-day work week after
next Labor Day and six-day work
week until that date: the wage ques-
ton to be determined by an ar
bitrator within 60 days and to be
retroactive to date of ratification.

on the table.
Clark Causes Confusion.
The chamber was thrown into mo-
mentary t1areup as the first roll call
der against Senator Clark making
both motions simultaneously. When
Vice President Garner upheld the
objection, Senator Wheeler stepped
into the breach by making the mo-
ton to table.
Earlier, there was another parlia-
mentary flareup as the first roll call
started. Senator O'Mahoney made
the point that he was on his feet
seeking recognition before the first
vote was cast. Several Senators had
voted, but by unanimous consent the
call was stopped until Senator O'Ma-
honey announced his proposal to
limit the Presidents power to abol-
ish functions.
When Senator Byrnes sought to
elaborate on Senator O'Mahoneys
statement, Senator johnson, Repub-
lican, of California, made a point
of order.
Twenty-Five Democrats joined with
twenty-one Republicans and the two
Farmer-Laborites in support of the
Wheeler amendment Forty-two
Democrats, one Progressive and one
Independent opposed the amend
ment.
Plan Defeated Last Year.
The same amendment was the
high light of last years battle over
the much broader reorganization bill
that was killed in the House. A
year ago the Wheeler plan lost, 43 to
80. Seven of the Senators who were
recorded last year, changed their
view of the question yesterday.
Senators Brown, Democrat, Of
Michigan; Gillette, Democrat, of
Iowa; Pittman, Democrat, of Nevada
and Walsh, Democrat, of Massachu-
sets, who supported the amendment
in 1888 opposed it yesterday.
Senators Chavez, Democrat, OF
New Mexico; Smith, Democrat, of
South Carolina and Lundeen, Farm
er-Labor, of Minnesota, who opposed
it year ago, favored it yesterday.
The net result was a gain of one
for the administration, but not
enough to prevent its adoption.

BY ALICE EVERSMAN.

BY ALICE EVERSMAN.
The entire short existence Of
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart was
surrounded by the bright aura of
happiness in his family life. 1t was
in every sense a real happiness
given expression In demonstrative
affection, in much laughter, in low
ing understanding, in many foolish
little jokes about homely communal
things and gentle teasing of one
another. Beginning with the close
union of Wolfgang with his father,
mother and sister, it continued when
Mozart married and had the asso-
citation of his harum- -scarum in
laws. There was also an important
place assigned the cats, dogs and
canaries that were always a part of
the household.
The home where Mozart was born
was simple, comfortable one. filled
with sunshine, growing plants, pets
of all descriptions and an OPEN
hearted hospitality for all friends.
Later when Wolfgang married and
poverty sat on his doorstep, there
was laughter and nonsense aplenty
that worry, sickness and debt could
never completely Danish. But his
childhood was carefully watched over
by his kindly, placid mother and his
shrewd but loving father and shared
completely by sweet, talented Mari
anne, affectionately known in the
family circle as "Nannerl."
Wrote Concerto at 4.
The history of Mozart's musical
career more closely approximates
that of artists of today than any
of the other great lights of that
period. When Leopold Mozart, who
had assiduously trained his baby
daughter to be pianist, discovered
that his toddling little son could not
be kept away from the instrument,
he sat down Immediately to super
intend his education. At the child
proudly displayed his first concerto,
which he had just completed without
help, but which his baby fingers
were yet too weak to execute. He
had never played the violin, although
possessing a tiny one, yet fell into
something of a tantrum until he was
allowed to play the second violin
with the trio of friends that met
weekly at the Mozart home. He
read the music and played almost
without mistake and with almost
the same finish that he brought,
with such strange maturity, to his
piano performances and his COM
posing.
His father was faced with a prob
lem but one that pointed to the
brightest future. His two children
were exceptionally gifted, 'Nannerl,"
pianist of distinction, and 'Wol-
ferl," her equal as performer yet
far outstripping her in his extraor-
binary ability to write lovely
original music perfect in its form.
The neighbors were advised of every
new development of the remarkable
child by his proud father, who now
began to look beyond the narrow
horizon of his home town for greater
fame.
Taken on Concert Tour.
He decided to take the children on
concert tour. From the very in
ception of the idea his special
talent for publicity began to mani
fest itself, a quality that would
surely have won the approval of
today's concert managers. He had
the children outfitted with the finest
clothes he could buy with the money
he had borrowed for the venture, he
hired private coach and taking
