Reception Honors
Musicians After
Concert Thursday

Enthusiastic endorsement of the
splendid work done by the Imperial
Valley Music Teachers association
IN bringing to the valley the series
OF outstanding artists, was voiced
by various citizens at the no-host
reception Thursday night in the
Barbara Worth hotel.
This reception followed the con-
cert by Gregor Piatigorsky, with
the 'cellist and his accompanist,
Valentin Pavlovsky, as guests of
honor. L. E. Behymer of Los An
geleS, impreSario, was to have shar-
ed honors with the two musicians
but due to the rains was prevented
from coming TO the valley.
Julia Bracket, president of the
Imperial Valley Music Teachers as
soclatlon, welcomed the guests and
called upon various representative
citizens to discuss the continuance
of these concerts.
Each speaker urged their contin-
uance and suggested the need for
increased support of the work done
by the association, among the
speakers being: Malcolm Macurda,
Mrs Warren Currier, Walter B.
Havekorst Cal Rector, Mrs. Eu-
gene Waterman, Mrs. f. George
Luckey, Mrs. Mont j. Reid, Fred
HeiSner, Arno c. Yaeckel and
others.
'CELLIST SPEAKS
Hlghlight of the entire reception
was the impromptu talk by Piati-
gorsky who showed himself to be
not only a great musician but a
real person, of rather shy digni-
lied charm, and possessed with a
delightful sense of humour.
Speaking carefully and apologize
ing for his difficulties with the
English language, Piat1gorsky ex-
pressed his pride in the fact that
he is soon to become an American
citizen, and his belief in the cul-
tural future of this country. Con-
traSted with the Europeans unWill-
lngneSS to admit ignorance, is the
American willingness to learn,
and through these concert series
IS the musical education of citi-
zens achieved His talk was char
acterised by amusing annedotes of
many his experiences and he made
80 firm friends that evening as a
result of his talk,
Music teachers were assisted by
a group of young hostesses, each
having selected deserving student
to act as assistant hostess that
evening

CHRISTIAN SCIENCE

For ever, o Lord, thy word is
settled in heaven. Thy faithfulness
is until all generation" These
words of the Psalmist are Col
den Text in the Lesson-Sermon on
Substance" on Sunday in all
Churches of Christ, Scientist.
One of the Scriptural selections
presents these passages about Je-
sus from Matthew: And when they
were come to the multitude, there
came to him a certain man, kneel-
ing down to him, and saying, Lord
have mercy on my son: for he is
lunatick. and sore vexed: And
Jesus rebuked the devil; and he
departed out of him: and the child
was cured from that very hour.
Then came the disciples to Jesus
apart, and said. Why could not we
cast him out? And Jesus said unto
them, Because of your unbelief:
for verify 1 say unto you, If We have
faith as a grain of mustard seed,
ye shall say unto this mountain.
remove hence to yonder place; and
it shall remove; and nothing shall
be impossible unto you"
The Lesson Sermon includes this
statement from the Christian Sci
ence textbook, Science and Health
with Key to the Scriptures" by
Mary Baker Eddy: When we come
to have more faith in the truth of
being than we have in error, more
faith in Spirit than in matter, moro
faith in living than in dying, more
faith in God than in man, then no
material suppositions can prevent
us from healing the sick and de-
stroying error

Piatisorsky Thrills Audience
In Superb Concert Thursday

Imperial Valley will never, in all
probability, have the privilege of
hearing any finer music than that
heard Thursday night wi Ell
Gregor Piatigorsky was presented
in Central high school in a con-
cert that can be reported only in
superlatives.
For their closing concert in this
seasons series, the Imperial Valley
Music Teachers association, selected
a perfect climax TO the finest series
they have yet sponsored.
Flawless technique coupled with
the soul and temperament of the
great artist made Piatigorsky's per-
formance something never to be
forgotten by his audience and made
it very evident as to why he has
been acclaimed everywhere as the
greatest celliSt of the age
Such perfection of tone, such
accomplished virtuosity, Vura
were revealed in Piatigorsky's play
ing that his audience was held
spellbound, and, in one instance, alb
solutely breathless as they listened
to the last diminishing, beautiful
note. Such a stiffness pervaded
that the intake of breath was audible
as the audience relaxed, paying
Piatigorsky the tribute of COM
plete enraptured silence before they
recovered from the spell cast by
his music to applaud vociferously. s.
The tremendous possibilities of
the cello, which, in the hands of
such a master, rival those of the
violin and of the human voice,
were demonstrated in Piatigorsky' S
playing, his program featured sew
eral numbers ordinarily considered
to belong in the realm of the violin.
In addition, it was a pleasure not
to be played down to, for Piati-
gorsky had chosen a program of
superb music, most of it new to his
listeners, all Of such tuneful quail
ity that it appealed alike to musi-
cally educated and to the unin-
itiated.
Fine Program
The program opened with four
movements from the Henry EecleS
Sonata" and continued with the
beautiful Haydn "Divertlment, D

as human food, "he shall forbid the
sale thereof and order the same to
be set aside" He added that this
regulation is inconsistent with pro-
visions Of the new Federal law and is
therefore ineffective and that Dis
trict inspectors must report the vio-
latlons 10 the Federal Government.
In his letter to the Commission
ers today. DR.. Rutland said:
According to an opinion trans
mitted from the Office of the cor
poration counsel. the authority un-
der which the Bureau of Food In
spection of the Health Department
functioned in the past is now aool-
ished.
In the place of the direct, and
often needed summary action,
which the department carried out
up to now under the authority con-
ferred upon the District government
by Congress. it appears that nov
the food inspectors services are re-
stricted to examination and inves-
tigation, the results of which are
then to be reported to the Secretary
of the Department of Agriculture
who in turn may then proceed to
the issuance of a libel OF infor.na-
ton and condemnation in the Dis
trict Court.
1T appears that no authority for
summary action to deal with food
stuffs unfit for human consumption
is provided in the Federal Act which,
however, deprives the District of the
right to act as In the past in its
own defense.
Notice Given 10 Inspectors.
I'm conformity with the opinion
Of the corporation counsels office,
I have furthermore been obliged to
instruct the inspectors of the Bu-
reau OF Food Inspection that until
further notice summary action or
the seizure or denaturing heretofore
authorized is herewith abolished.
Assuming. as 1 must, that the
opinion of the Corporation Coun-
sells office concerning the matter
here presented is correct. wish to
state most emphatically that in the
judgment of this department the
Federal act constitutes a limita ton
which seriously handicaps the food
inspectors in the performance of
their duties for the reason that since
most of the food products con-
demned are quite perishable, it is
not in the interest of efficient in
spection and market supervision to
permit such perishable foods to lay
around for many weeks awaiting the
issuance of libel of information
and condemnation in the District
Court, and such a practice in this
instance seriously jeopardizes the
public health"
While Dr. Rutland told his in
spectors they no longer could take
summary action, he said he had
told his men to warn dealers they
must under no circumstances make
Use of food products his men found
unfit for human consumption.

Presents Charges
In Miller Case
Ousted EmpIoye Accused
Of Asking Co-Worker
To Become Communist

The Labor Department, through
Gerard D. Reilly, its solicitor, today
made public a bill of particulars to
support charges that Mrs. Helen
Miller, recently suspended by Sec
retary of Labor Perkins. had been
active in promoting policies of the
Communist party and that she had
solicited at least one person to be-
come member of the party.
The bill of particulars, which was
presented to Mrs. Miller last night,
contains afidavits by Miss Helen
Wood, an employe of the Children's
Bureau, and her mother, Mrs. Helen
F. Wood. Wynnewood, Pa.
In her affidavit, Miss Wood dis
closed that Mrs. Miller in the sum-
mer of 1888 asked Miss Wood if she
would become a member Of the Com
muniSt party. In her affidavit, the
mother declared her daughter told
her in the fall of 1888 that Mrs.
Miller had asked her TO become a
member of the Communist party.
Protest Meeting Called.
A mass meeting protesting the
dismissal of Mrs. Miller will be held
at 8:l5 tonight in the National Press
Club Auditorium. Reid Robinson, a
national vice president of the C. l.
O., and Len H. De Caux, national
c. I. o. publicity director, are sched-
uled to speak. Henry Rhine. ma
tional representative of the United
Federal Workers of America. will
give details of the Miller case. Cecil
Owen, president of the Washington
Industrial Union Council, will pre-
side
The document made public by
Solicitor Reilly revealed that the
Department of Labor is in posses
sion of a report from the Federal
Bureau of Investigation which had
investigated Mrs. Miller's activities
The report of the F. B. I. contains
an account of an interview with
Jacob Baker, consultant of the Fed
