In the best" but there Ia little
doubt In my mind that nothing
could be more beautiful than
the Mozart Violin Concerto No. 4
played for Victor by Fritz Kreis-
Ter. This artist plays a favorite
concerto as he alone can do. His
profound musicianship spsrkles
through the entire work. RCA can
be proud of this album in their
masterworks series.
Two others of unusual proper
tons ready for distribution this
month are the abridged version of
verdi's opera "oteilo" and sxo-
stakowiczs symphony Number
Five" Tibbett, Martinelli and
Jepson are the soloists in "Otello."
The chorus of the Metropolitan,
together with the orchestra direct
ed by wilfred Pelletier. balance
this set Of six records. Leopold
Stokowski and the Philadelphia
orchestra present the symphony of
one OF the greatest living COM
posers In a most bresth-taking
performance.
Lionel Hampton tears into some

St. Olaf to
Sing Sunday
Choir Which Made School
Famous TO Be Heard at
Central Lutheran


SUCCESS of St. Olaf choir. of
Mortified, MINI, which APP
pears in concert at Central Luz
theran church next Sunday night,
Jan. Is, constitutes an interesting
chapter In the history and develop
ment Of music In America. The
story Of the organization also en-
phasizes the fact that a singing
group can be of more value in
creating interest in a school than
a football or track team. The evi-
dence at Mortified is fine music
hall and studio building which has
been built entirely from the pro-
ceeds Of the orchestra.
Critics and music leaders de-
clare that the st. Olaf choir is one
Of the finest choirs In the world.
The organization has made the
little city of Mortified, MINI, the
literal Oberammergau Of America.
As the rustic mountaineers at
Oberammergau have brought fame
to their little Alpine settlement, so
these blond plainsmen from North
field have advertised on two con-
tinents their Gopher state city
with its 1000 inhabitants.
Each spring Mortified becomes
an Oberammergau for a week end
when the choir serves as the CEN
ter of a music festival which has
become a famous event In the
northwest. On the Sunday climax
ing the fete, the choir appears In
concert before thousands who
crowd the hilltop campus of the
college. This festival has been
regular event for over a quarter
of a century.
AS graduates these singers have
carried the message and the
meaning of noble music as well
a. the ideals of artistic sincerity
and devotion into widely spread
schools and communities. Many
Of them hold influential positions
In the musical life of America.
The numerous tours of this organi-
xation have not been undertaken
for the sake Of prestige or profit.
The members have gone out as
bearers of a message and as the
propagandists of an ideal. How
they have succeeded is q matter
of history.
This concert by the famous
choir in Tacoma is sponsored by
the Central Lutheran Mems club,
Fred L. johnson general chairman.
Tickets may be secured at Fishers
Civic Center.

OIL AND THE WAR

At the outbreak of the military experts cal- culated that Germany would need at least 1200O00O metric tons of petroleum and petroleum derivatives annually From September to May, period of n- activity on land, her consumption was probably no paign in the Low Countries and in France must have made serious demands on her stocks. And so with France and Great Britain.
 World Petroleum" places the total consumption oil and oil products by all the bellgerentS at than 30000000 metric tons 200000000 bar res yearly, an estimate which does not include the requirements of naval and supply ships
 The bombers that Germany and Great Britain have now loosed against each other consume each from 90 to 150 gallons of gasoline an hour from 26000 to 43,O00 barrels daily Pursuit planes which protect the bombers, need from no to 116 gallons hour according to the estimates of T. F. Wright, director of engineering of the Curtiss- Wright Cor poration How many planes actively en- gagged both sides nobody knows, but estimated daily consumption of 100000 to 1250O0 barrels of high grade aviation fuel is low rather than high.
 There can be little doubt that Germany's hope of receiving oil from Russia has been blasted either by Soviet indifference intention or what is more likely transportation difficulties. Rumana, too, has been a disappointment, and all the so because of Italys needs Time is the great ally of Britain, provided she keep the open despite the re- newed activity of enemy submarines.
 American oil experts have assured us that we can supply the needs of both Great Britain and the United States without too heavily taxing fields: But it would be reckless for American producers to build hopes of oil boom this situation.

Weapon No Longer Secret
Cleveland Plain Dealer)

(CleVeland Plaln Dealer)
 Hitler is beginning to have trouble with one of his principal weapons
 Without minimizing the effectiveness of a bril- liant and powerful military machine, it is evident that German military prowess has been than equaled up to by that other weapon-the ability of the Nazis to spread fear and cultivate treachery behind the enemy lines.
 This has been the real secret weapon of Hitler. But secret weapon is useful only so long it mains secret and the enemy has not learned how to combat it. Scandinavia, the Low Countries and France found out about it too late Had they known earlier it is possible that of them might be playing door mat in Der Fuehrer's lebensraum.
 But Hitler finds that the British don't so easily partly because they British and partly because they know all about this secret weapon and have found way to combat it. The antidote to fear is victory and in the days since Flanders and the battle of France the Royal Navy and Air Force have given the home folk taste of several victories. The antidote to treachery is the jang of those who show any symptoms of it. and Britain is doing thorough job in this respect.
 Add to this the fact that the tight little island which rules empire is otherwise pretty tough nut for the German military pincers to crack and you understand why Adolf has stopped talking quite so loudly about what he would do to the British He has allowed his radio to suggest across the channel that the whole idea of invading England might be considered mistake in Berlin, if the Eng fish could see their way clear to get rid of Winston Churchill
 However, the English have finally learned not to hear very well when Hitler begins whispering sweet nothings. They aren't in the mood for love right now. They're having too good time chasing big bully around the Mediterranean

BRITAIN KICKS BACK

The Germans opponents of total war from the skies, learning that widespread bombing is a game two play. Despite her admitted superior ity planes Germany is finding the Royal Air Force a dangerous foe It is tit for tat in the air since the equalization of France and that may be one of the why Hitler has not immediately followed his continental conquests with the much publcized invasion of Britain.
 There been other deterrent faltors, of course. One was the uncertainty of the Balkans and the lurking suspicion that Russia might not abide by agreements and limit her land grabbing to Bessa- rabia This seems to be settled for the moment, and so an ntensfication of warfare may be expected in the west.
 As the Nazis step up their tempo preparatory to

HOROSCOPE "The stars incline
 but do not compel"
TUESDAY, AUGUST 6

lOEnJDAI, AO1Ool Benefic aspects dominate today. The early hours are promising for business and industry The con- 1 figuration encourages a sensitive response to intuition. It is 8 good time to follow ones lunches.
 Heart and Home: Women should cultivate cheerful outlook upon life, stimulating to all members of the family. Forebodings of the eff fleets of war should be dissipated. | This is a day for constructive thought and action. Home now has special significance and all that emphasizes it's charms should be stressed Extravaganza should be avoided and informal Inequalities should be encouraged.
 Business Affairs Merchants and manufacturers continue under a planetary direction conducive to prosperity. This is a favorable date for starting new enterprises, and for expanding many lines of indus try. Labor is under a rule of the stars promising for major indus tries. Among leading trades coop eration between employers and em- ployees will be most fortunate for the future.
 National Issues: Changes in de- partment heads in Washington will be accomplished with general ap- proval of the system which ignores party affiliations and seeks genu- inc qualification for important tasks in the great machinery of govern ment. Extreme activity in the de- partment of justice is prognosticat- ed as a widespread plot to ham per the nation in its defense pre- parations. is discovered. ,.,.
 International Affairs: The death of ruler in the East is fore told. India will undergo threaten ing influences with surprising loy- altieS developing as European con- flict spreads. The elimination of Venus seems to promise improve ment in Chinese conditions, but famine will destroy great numbers of the people. American aid will be sought for all world victims of war with an inSistence never before eX- erted.
 Persons whose birth date it is have the augury of an average suc- cess in the coming year. Great care should be taken in business matters. ~
 Children born on this day prob ably will be exceedingly gifted. Original in ideas and keenly intui- tive, both boys and girls may be- long to the super-talented class. a

THE COAST GUARD

One hundred and fifty years of service to the nation, service of the exacting and dangerous kind is being commemorated this week by the U. s. Coast Guard.
 On March 4, 1790 Congress passed an act au- thorizng ten revenue cutters for duty along the coastline of the 13 States. On August 4 1790 just l50 years ago yesterday President George Washing ton signed the act and the Revenue Cutter Service, which became the Coast Guard in 1915 was born. In 1939 the United States Lighthouse Service estab lished in 1789 year before the Revenue Cutter Service, consolidated with the Coast Guard
 Juneau takes special interest and pride in the Coast Guard. The cutter Hada, like the Unalga and Tallapoosa before it. is integral part of the community We have learned to respect and honor the who the Coast Guard uniform. We add our congratulations to those they receiving the 150th anniversary of their service
 Congratulations Coast Guard, your 150th birthday. May you live to be million.
