That dashing team of pianists,
Luboshutz and Nemenof1, have made
unforgettable several numbers in
cluded in their programs given in
this city. Among these were the
"Valse Tzigane" by Mischa Levitski
and Russian Dance" by Stravinsky
arranged by Luboshutz. These are
given out this month on a single
disc recording which catches all
the fire and virtuosity of the gifted
players. This is music that stirs
the pulse. an excellent contrast to
many other recordings of piano
music.
Irene Jessmer, soprano of the
Metropolitan, Is a newcomer to the
Victor fold and has chosen for her
debut recording "Marietta's Lied"
from Korngold's Die Tote Stadt"

works.

In spite of all the new doctrines
that have been born in this modern
age and the careless attitude toward
old usages, there is still a thrill to
be had in hearing the national
anthem. 1t brings back the days Ct
childhood when much was made of
each national holiday and when all
patriotic ceremonies, and many other
events were inaugurated with the
playing of this hymn. At that time
the childish mind was imbued with
the great spirit that started this
country and taught pride in all that
our democracy stands for. With each
playing of The Star Spangled Ban
ner," the youthful citizens stirred to
the noble implications of the text
and felt joined with unbreakable
bonds to the patriotic spirit of their
elders This feeling remains even in
adult years.
Perhaps loyalty to country was
tust as strong in the years following
the World War. 1t had, however,
to join many other of the finer
things of life that were showed into
the background by the craze for
modernism. At any rate, people
had grown inarticulate as regards
their patriotism and the national
anthem was heard only on rare &C.
casions. When it was played, there
was a tolerant attitude toward it.
such as was accorded the advice of
the sages of the country.
Agitation Failed.
Agitations were started from time
to time to have new national
anthem. one more in keeping with
the growing esthetic taste of the
people Nothing came of this, how
ever, whatever the reason.
In these days, when public ten
denotes have been jolted out of their
complacent championship of all that
is new. and most progressive by the
seriousness of world events, The
Star Spangled Banner comes into
Its own.
It stands as a rock bespeaking
both national and personal security
as ordained by the founders of the
country and the brave and strong
hearted men and women who made
1t what it is. Through its somewhat
awkWardly constructed musical
phrases, there shine both firmneSs of
ideal and an eternal promise of vic
tory of right over might. The words
of its text call to the dauntless spirit
of the free American and to pride
and eXhaltation in his heritage.
There were even those who assert
that its musical setting is lacking
In artistic value and that as ma
tional anthem it deserves better
music. But more and more, the true
citizens of this country are treasur-
ing this grand old song as it is with
its honesty, faith and courage in
every measure.
Most people will agree that at
tendance at a concert where great
music is featured is not regarded as
seeking mere amusement. 1t be-
comes almost a rite, with all
the accompanying seriousness of
thought. Listeners to music of the
great geniuses of the world wish to
attune themselves to higher plane
ST mental concept and deeper sense
of spirituality. There can be no
better way Of awakening the proper
mood for just appreciation of mu-

WHEN the farmers Of f., Amer :,
w lea come to the Worlds
Fair in New York during the
week of August IL, which has
been designated as Farm
Week at the Fair" one of the
chief centers of interest and
activity will be the popular
General Motors Highways and
Horizons exhibit. This exhibit
houses the now-famous Futu-
rama and a variety of other
displays, many of which show
the important role played by
the farmer in the national
welfare of our country.
Visited by more than 100000
persons during the Fair last year
and, again playing host to capac-
ity crowds of daily visitors, the
GIN Fair show has carried the
message of the farmers role in the
scheme of American living to per-
sons from all sections of the
world. During Farm Week" the
entire personnel of the GIN build
ing will be on hand to greet and
meet personally as many as pos
sible of the thousands of rural
guests, expected to visit the Fair
at that time, according to A. j.
Schamehorn, general manager of
the exhibit.
Zone of the most important
themes of our entire exhibit is the
dramatization of the inter-depen-
dence of the farmer and industry"
Mr.. Schamehorn said. Every
year millions of dollars worth of
raw materials from the farm are
used in the manufacture of motor
cars. The profit to the farmer
from the purchase of these ma
terials enables him to buy farm
products in return-not raw
farm products, but manufactured
and processed materials from the
farm which have been made up
into a myriad of conveniences and
necessities contributing to better
living for the farmer and his
family"

Terry's suggestion that he and
Caroline be married that night
brought a look of relief to the
girls white face.

before we sold the house back
home. If that taXicab driver with

Linda won. Half an hour later
there was fire in the fireplace, the
gate-legged table was drawn IN
front of it, and the four of them
were preparing scrambled eggs and
bacon and toast. Caroline, with two
glasses of warm milk inside of her,
was regaining her lost color.
Come up, all of you," Linda had
insisted to the men. Turn this into
an adventure. Don't let Caroline be
embarrassed to face you tomor-
row."
Robert followed Linda into the
kitchenette as she attached the
percolator.

tended hospitality to a stranger"
Abruptly he changed the subject.
Shall ( take in the cups? You
know, some hidden instinct led me
to seek a haven here last night"
His grin was young and boyish,
but there was something cynical,
stern in his eyes. For the first time
in "a hours Linda found herself
wondering why he had sought sue
cor. He had not told her. He had
acted as though she had no right
to be inquisitive. But that was all
right. Ronnie was back and she
was meeting him the next after
noon.
Long after the men had gone she
and Caroline sat in pajamas before
the fire, talking.
Have you ever watched your
last quarter go and not know
where you could earn another
one?" the girl who loved Terry
asked. Il had job, a dreadful one!
I came out of college with all sorts
of ideas. I wanted to be secretary
to somebody important. There was
just enough money left from my
inheritance haven't any rela-
tives-to pay for the school.
"And got a job. Such job!"
She sat with her chin on her
hands and her elbows on her
knees, studying the greens and
reds of the applewood fire. II was
secretary to corset buyer! Did
you ever see the headquarters
where the successful corset buyers
have desks? They are successful.
They keep their hats on while they
dictate, and they usually need their
own products. Anyway, I lasted
until two months ago-I went there
in July following graduation. Since
then"
Now her voice was bitter. But
the girl needed to talk. That Linda
knew. So she said
