~ the Associated Press.

ny the Associated Press.
TRENTON, N. j., April T.-James
H. r. Cromwell, Minister to Canada,
asserted last night that "our demo-
cratic ideals and institutions now
stand-literally-at Armageddon."
Mr.. Cromwell, also candidate for
the Democratic nomination for
United States Senator from New
Jersey, said before the 1910 New
Jersey Model Legislature for Youth,
that rival systems of government,
rival ideologies, press close on every
hand; their proponents loudly claim
for them an efficiency, both for war
and for peace, which the democra-
cies have never possessed and in
deed, so they say, can never attain"
Mr.. Cromwell urged 200 delegates
to the annual mock legislature,
sponsored by Y. M. c. AS of the
State, to obtain political education
through participation in the actual
functions of q free representative
assembly" as the best insurance"
against alien "isms."
He continued:
For in this world Of today
We must be able to demonstrate
that our democratic institutions are
not only the instruments of free
dom, but the tools of our economic
and social progress. -"
You are, in effect, the political
soldiers Of democracy, and it is
the steadfastness with which you
stand by your ideals, which will es-
tablish our future security. pros
perity and prestige, both here at
home and In world affairs"

Music Ability Grows
With Shirley Levin

Only three years ago, Shirley
Levin. . successful piano contestant
In this city, made her bow at Con-
stitution Hall, playing q Mozart
concerto with the National SYM
phony Orchestra. However, it was
not the self-conscious little girl of
that day who gave a recital last
night but q pianist of artistic
cahbre who was presented at the
Washington Club by Lucia Nc
Kenzie Hendley.
To those who have not heard
Shirley since her first appearance
here, her playing came as q surprise
1t was her ability to project ideas
OF more mature mind and to make
music that thrilled her audience
The climax of her performance was
undoubtedly the Allegro Affectu-
oso" of the Schumann "A Minor
Concerto" which she played with
Austin Conrad at the second piano.
1t was the roundness of her singing
touch, its depth, her finished phras-
Ing and concentration upon the
interpretative side of the work that
made her reading a most ENJOYABLE
musical experience.
Lovely was also the hackeyed
'Nocturne in D Flat Major" by
Chopin, which moved along without
exaggerations and unnecessary en-
phasis, so often INDUCED in by
other pianists. The "Scherzo in B
Flat Minor" the "Impromptu A Flat
Major" and the "Etude G Flat
Major, Op. 10, No. s. showed further
the extent of her pianistic endow-
ment, while Bach-Hess, "Jesu, Joy
OF Mans Desiring" and Beethoven's S
Sonata, Op. 81, No. 2, in D Minor
helped give a complete survey of her
careful training. Needless to say
such recital was bound to bring
more people together than the
capacity of the hall allowed. There
was much enthusiasm and applause
not to mention flowers. E. de s.

ON her husbands uniform.
Bird lovers are very happy over
the way the violet-green swallows
accept ready-built houses. Some
Of their admirers go 50 far as to
furnish the feathers for the bed.
This must be a miracle to the busy
mothers who must find sufficient
feathers for the mattress, since
this once common commodity IS
becoming more scarce each spring.
Besides, the violet-greens are very
partial to feathers, and in moving
closer to town for bringing up their
children, they must travel farther
out into the country and look more
sealously for this important item.
Thus, the folks who know the needs
Of their bird neighbors have realized
their urgent requirement and sup
piled 1t. Not wishing to make the
birds feel they had so little to do
about establishing the apartment,
feathers have been sifted on the
breeze and swallows seem to appear
from every direction. Were they
happy? Such gay parties of them,
racing back and forth in the air
to catch or capture the precious
fluffy things raining through space
} for them.
These swallows, like all members
of their family, catch their food
on the wing. They keep the air
free Of many insects that would be
very annoying to man and beast.
En- route from their winter home,
they piece ou. this meat diet with
. few berries, though only three
per cent OF their total menu q
