including Raya Garbousova and
Howard Mitchell, cellists; Antonio
Brosa, violinist, and Ania Dorfmann

And, unlike the beloved master
pieces" series-consisting as it does
of standard works, the special series

ties and important but rarely played
compositions.
Mr.. Mitchell, first cellist of the
National Symphony Orchestra, will
be heard in the solo part of Ernest

ing his career as cello virtuoso.

National Symphony on March 2,
Miss Castagnetta will play the
Scriabin Piano Concerto" Miss
Castagnetta is a young American

the National Symphony without
soloist, will feature the Fifth
Symphony" of Shostakovich, and
"Daphnis and Chloe" of Maurice
Ravel.
The Brahms Beethoven Sibelius

Angeles in June of the coming
year.
The objective which this wide
spread group of musically interested
people has in mind is of the great
est Importance and should be adopt
ed by others not members of the
Federation. 1t Is certainly necessary
that our cultural defenSes be as
strong as their warlike counterpart,
for the latter will be of small avail
If the spirit of the people is not of
even greater strength. Culture Is
one of the means by which sturdi-
ness is given to the mental outlook,
for it provides logical reasons for
the preservation of the finer things
of life Among these, music takes
first rank, for its influence betters
the well-being of man in his spir-
itual, mental and physical aspects.
The gist of the Federation's latest
deliberations is conveyed in the
statement: "The policy resolutions
passed by the board distinctly in
dicate the Federation's awareneSs
that it has a part to play in the
solution of grave present-day prob
lens and its conviction that music
is the strong handmaiden of democ-
racy." These executives are closer
in touch with musicians of the
country than any localized group
could be, and their knowledge that
the time is ripe to stress national
spirit in music and to broaden its
expression is founded on long ex-
perience and observation.
Opportunities Given.
The opportunities which this
country, as a democracy, offers its
youth will be stressed in the Young
Artists Contests, when selected
pianist, vocalist and violinist will be
awarded $1,000 as a prize, and for
the instrumentalist, in addition, an
appearance as soloist with the Phil
adelphia and New York Philhar-
monic Orchestras. The Federation
has also promised aid to the Ma
tional Refugee Service, to assist IN
placing refugee musicians where
they can take care of themselves.
The good neighbor attitude toward
Latin America will be fostered by
the interchange of music between
all countries in this hemisphere.
The Federation has realized that
the influx of musicians from war
ring countries presents a major
problem to the United States. There
is naturally a deep feeling Of SYM
pathy toward these refugees and
desire to help them enjoy the bene-
fits we possess. However, there is a
danger in this also that may ulti-
mately strike at the foundations OF
our musical life, and it is foolish to
close the eyes to its presence be-
cause of humanitarian feeling.
For many years foreign musicians
controlled nearly everything musi-
cally in the United States. They set
a standard and the American musl-
clan had to meet 1t or be beneath
consideration. The idea was firmly
rooted in the public mind that only
persons from across the Atlantic,
Including Americans who had spent
time and money lover there" were
fit to be considered artists. The
young musicians of this country
were busy for the most part in strlv-
ing to pattern themselves on Euro
pean lines, completely putting aside

Pupil Of Guilmant.
Mr.. Bonnet was born in Bordeaux,
France, where at the age Of IA, he
was appointed organist Of the
Church Of st. Michael. Shortly after
ward he went to the Paris Con-
servatory, where he became Sne Of
the outstanding pupils of the great
Guilmant and won first prize in
organ.
A little later the post or organist
at the Church OF st. EuStache in
Paris became vacant and Bonnet
was unanimously chosen from
among large number Of applicants
to fill it. In that historic church,
where Bonnet still presides at the
organ, he has given scores of re-
citals. In 1911, at the death Of Gull
mant, Bonnet succeeded him in the
much-envied post as organist of
the "Societe des Concerts du Con-
Servatoire" Since then Bonnet's ca
reer has progressed amazingly and
he has been engaged as soloist with
many of the worlds most celebrated
symphonies.
Bonnet's reputation spread be-
yond the boundaries of Europe and
he was requested to come to America
where he toured from New York
to San Francisco, and from Mexico

Jungle of 1000 Acres
Is Built as Mans Hobby

Arthur G.. Mckee of Cleveland,
Ohio, known as builder of gigantic
steel mills, also owns perhaps the
most beautiful and authentic jungle
in the country.
"You might say jungling is my
hobby" Mckee says. cit began
when I bought a 1,OOO-acre tract
near Vero beach in Florida. That
was about 20 years ago and it was
more or less just mass of under
brush then"
Mckee has peopled his jungle with
more than 300 monkeys, apes and
deer, and planted rare and unusual
trees.
From many parts of the world the
Cleveland industrialist brought spe-
cieS of plants and animals.
81 think a person would have to
travel at least $4,000 miles through
tropical jungles to see the things
assembled there" Mckee said.
Perhaps the most interesting fea-
ture of the gardens now is it's animal
populations, consisting largely of
primates from India, Malaga, AT
RIGA, Panama, Columbia and other
tropical sections.
Rhesus monkeys, chimpanzees,
gibbons, ring-tail monkeys and
spider monkeys chatter through the
palms and bread fruits. Deer drink
from the streams and ponds. There
is even a Canadian brown bear on
the premises.
The gardens have more than no
different varieties of palms, 40 types
of rubber and other tropical trees.

Canadian Indian Tribes
Nav Fish Out of Season'

Rene Philip, q resident of the In
dian reservation at Caughnawaga,
near Montreal, Canada, went fish
ing recently and caught q bass and
sturgeon, enough to feed a good
many papooses. But since the fish
ing season in the province of Quebec
had closed, game warden arrest
ed the Indian.
Rene defended his right in court,
pleading that as an Indian he had
the inherent right to fish anywhere,
at any time, in season or out. Chief
Justice Perrault, one of the great
legal minds of the province, agreed.
This incident focused renewed at
tention on Caughnawaga and upon
the Iroquois Indians who live there.
Long known as one of the proudest
and fiercest nations, the Iroquois for
two centuries waged warfare upon
New France. They were allies of
the British colonists. Descendants
now at Caughnawaga long since dis
carded their bows and arrows, TOM
ahawks and muskets and live in
peace and quiet.
Today the reservation provides a
curious admixture of old and new
ways of Indian life. It has long been
popular with tourists. There are
schools for the youngsters, and a
church of the Catholic faith to which
the Indians have long been devoted.
Opposite the church, Katare Tekak-
witha is buried. Because of mira
Gle cures attributed to her remains,
movement has been started to
have this Indian maid of yesteryear
canonized.
In juxtaposition is the convention
al native scene in which Indians
may be seen pounding their own
grain, hunting, fishing, making pot
terry, snowshoes and weaving cloth.
according to the ancient pattern.
A birch-bark covered "long house"
with fascinating figures decorating
the ridge-pole and in which the Iro-
quois hold ceremonies is one of the
newer attractions at the reservation.
