a step toward recognition of those
which have been formed within re-
cent years. To these belong the

While Victor Co. has added to the
aggregation of 48 units of interna-

educational direction, reaching out
toward the student and the amateur
and providing them with means of
adequate home study without the

Review of Recordings

wishes to improve his style and
technique, these recordings answer
an immediate need. There is always
an advantage in playing with peo-
pie Of a superior attainment, un-
handicapped by mediocre partners,
yet a young musician or an anna
teur Is not always fortunate to have
professional advice and it is for that
reason that this form of a record
ing may prove valuable to him.
Besides this special edition Of
chamber music masterpieces. CO.
lumbia Co. has issued several al
buns Of selections to the students
repertoire for piano. violin and
cello To the four albums already
released others will be added con-
tanning material for the flute,
trumpet, clarinet and other instru-
ments.
Bernard Greenhouse, cellist Of the
Dorian String Quartet, has been
assigned the task of recording such
numbers which emphasize the sing
ing qualities of the instrument. He
has fine tone and pure intona-
ton. His performance of Golfer
mans "Andante" shows greater
freedom of execution and more
style than Marcellos Sonata in G
Minor" Sonata in E Minor" and
Largo" and Allegro" from Sonata
in G. Minor" by the same composer.
On the whole, there is a certain
monotony and lack Of dynamic
effects. Since these recordings are
intended for students, it is impor-
tant to get out of the selections the
greatest possible good, and there is
no reason why player as advanced
as Mr.. Greenhouse could not do it.
Besides the aforementioned pieces
there are two numbers composed
by the famous English cellist, Will
liam Henry Squire, "Serenade" and
"Bourree," and Pergolesis Nina"

Manila, Jan. 29-UP-Coinc Incident
with the reinforcement OF L. S. mill
tary and naval forces in the Philip
pines, the American and island
armies are synchronizing their
plans for Philippine defense with a
view to achieving the maximum pos
sible degree of preparedness, reli-
able sources have revealeu.
United States and Philippine
Commonwealth military chiefs, 1t is
understood, are taking into consid-
Grafton the tremendous pace OF ma
tional defense activity in the Unit
ed States In working out plans for
the defense of the islands.
L. S. army officers we're reported
to have conducted an inspection of
Philippine army training cadres,
mobilization centers and depots to
determine equipment needs and
other defense requirements of the
scantily armed Filipino militia.
II is understood the inspections
were made for the specific purpose
OF estimating the appropriations
necessary for financing a mobiliza-
ton Of Filipino man-power In an
emergency.
Twelve Filipino Divisions
There are ~ divisions of trained
Filipino regulars and reserves. Com
bined with the 10000 U. S. army
regulars In the country, including
the Philippine Scouts, these divi-
sions comprise the first-line de-
tense of the Philippines.
Washington reports indicating
the possibility OF $50 100000 appro;
priation for Philippine defense we're
enthusiastically received in defense
circles here. L. S. army authorities
AZ well as the Commonw ealth gov
eminent are understood to be in
favor of this contemplated proce-
dure. The sum. II 1t should be made
available, probably would be used
TO procure ornaments for the Phil
ippine Army.
The amount would not be suffi-
cient to cover all Philippine defense
requirements, but 1t would immense
ly strengthen the defense capacity.
The Commonwealth normally APP
propriates sS.000,000 yearly for de-
tense. but for 1910 the outlay was
said to be only $4,000, 900. The re-
duction was attributed TO the Off
cial belief there was not much logic
In training more men while there
was not enough ornaments with
which to equip them.

CANCER EXPERTS
WORK ON FARM.
THREE SCIENTISTS USING
RATS ON WHICH TO
EXPERIMENT

Malvern. Pa. Jan. 29-UP-Miles
from the Philadelphia Industrial
center. on a tiny. peaceful farm,
three scientists are conducting ex.
periments which some day may pro-
duce a cure for cancer.
DR.. Leonard G. Rowntree, former
ly professor OF medicine at the Uni
versity OF Minnesota and director OF
clinical investigation at the Mayo
Clinic. Rochester, Mimi. is direct
ing the experiments on cancer,
which annually causes more deaths
in America than any other ailment
except heart disease.
The project was started three
years ago, when members OF the
Philadelphia Institute for Medical
Research. in experiments with Vita
min Z, discovered that wheat germ
oil produced cancer In rats.
The research workers then de-
vised a plan by which rats were
treated with the oil to produce can
Ger for purposes OF study.
During the experiments. two ex-
plosive fires occurred In open stills
where ether was used as fat solv-
ent In distilling the crude oil. The
scientists decided to distill the oil
in closed watts. but, much to their
establishment, the rats no longer
developed the disease under this
method.
Last spring, they went back to
the old method OF distilling the
product They rented the Malvern
farm and continued the work where
no outside persons would be endan-
gered by possible explosions.
Whether the group has been sue
cessful again In producing the dis
ease in the rodents has not been
revealed. DR.. Rowntree announced
that at the present no report would
be made public.
