Hospital. The hospital, which, as
its name implies, specializes in the
care of children. is again facing a
terrific deficit this year and every
dollar is needed to help defray the
expense of giving free care to sick
and injured children.
Needs of Service.
The only hospital in the city
equipped for the treatment of the
dread infantile paralysis, it has
many cases of this kind, and in
most instances the little victims are
from families unable to bear the ex-
pense of these treatments. The
Community Chest buys a certain
amount of service from the hospital
and its clinics, but the Chest funds
are far from sufficient to meet the
cost of all the free treatments given
children.
Gilbert and Sullivan productions
have always been popular in Wash

at Constitution Hall offer an oppor-
tunity for an evening of excellent
musical entertainment and for help

customs and sayings, traces the early
tunes, based on the Indo- Chinese
scale. to a Chinese and Celtic origin.
The advent of Luther and the Ref
ormation gave rise to an output
of Protestant hymns and chorals
and of the first vocal soil by native
composers. The first Protestant
hymn book was published in Poland
by Jacob Lubelzyk in 1858. OF the
famous Catholic composers of that
epoch are Waclaw Szamotuly, Mar
tin Lwowczyk otherwise known as
Martin Leopolita), both of whom
were directors of the Rorantistes'
chapel, and the two contemporaries
of Palestrina, Mikalaj Zielenski, Or
ganist to the Archbishop of Gniezne
in 1911, the first one to compose
three fantasies for solo instruments,
and Mikolaj Gomolka Q546- l6O9),
famous for his setting of $50 psalms
to the words of Jan KochanowSki.
An able contrapuntist, Gomolka was
known to insert popular and even
dance tunes into compositions of de-
votional character. found in several
of his psalms. Considered to be
the first to consolidate the national
elements of Polish music, he has
the distinction of being called the
forerunner of Chopin.
Movement Halted.
Thus the golden or the "Sigis-
mund's" era flourished in Poland
for a century under four kings:
Sigismund the First, Sigismund
August, Henry Valley and Stefan
Batory. Although ending actually
upon the death of Sigismund Au-
gust the development of music had
been still carried on by the same
musicians. With the passing of Ste
fan Batory, the soldier King, the
movement came to a halt for a
period of $50 years, during which
the foreign influence stif1ed ma
tional expression. While Batory was
not interested in music but only in
military bands and in the organ

ments he encouraged the creation
OF martial music and songs which
glorifled his achievements. He was
known to have lavished consider
able sums of money upon Antoni
Clabon, who wrote one to the words
of Jan Kochanowski, who hailed
Batory's victories over the Mosco-
vites.
The epoch of Chopin d8lo-184e)
and of Moniuszko 1819-1872), the
Polish Schubert" may be termed
as the renaissance period, with these
two great contemporaries as its very
embodiment. 1t was left to them to
perfect and to develop the ma
tional elements in music to an un-
precedented degree and to give an
impetus of renewed inspiration to
posterity.

other varieties. Even the Polish
"Marseillaise," born five years after
