DtNOND
Mr.. Hayes will have the good wishes
of all concerned in the future of the
symphony and the same enthusi-
astic cooperation that the citizens
of this city have SO nobly manifested
in the past.
While it has been farewell to
Mr.. Cappel as regards his connection
with the orchestra, it by no means is
a severing of his relations or activ-
tiles in the local musical life. He has
already established himself in offices
In the Woodward Building, where he
worked for the past 10 years for the
National Symphony and will develop
several new ideas, to be announced in
the near future, which, as Mr.. Cap
pei hopes. will contribute as much
in their way to the musical develop
ment of Washington as has my work
with the National Symphony He
will continue to maintain his home
here. which has been gathering
place for the noted artists visiting
the city
AS in most things where results
seem to be the natural outcome of
growth, the part that the manager
of an organization such as the Ma
tional Symphony plays is seldom un-
derstood The miracles of his
duties, the necessary combination OF
business acumen and psychological
understanding, the wide contacts
and knowledge of conditions are
things that are accepted without
further question. These qualities are
not gained in short space of time,
but are the results OF experience
over a long period of activities in
musical management.
Began Young.
Few people have had that expert
ence to the same degree as Mr.. Cap
pei. He began as a boy Of 18 when,
as professional pianist, he was the
headline attraction on chautauqua
and lyceum courses throughout the
United States. The war interrupted
his career as a soloist, but after
serving a year in the Army and a
year and a half as organizer for
community service, he returned to
the chautauqua field. this time as
director. Associated with one of the
largest chautauqua bureaus in the
country, with headquarters in Wash
ington, his duties covered the Selec-
ton, preparing and coaching of pro-
grams for the various tours which,
at that time, spread the knowledge
and helped in the growth of appre-
citation of good music in all sections
Of the United States.
Mr. Cappel was the first manager
TO take the service bands on tour,
and to his skillful planning is due
the acquaintance of distant parts of
the country with such famous
groups as the United States Marine
and Army Bands. His connection
with the Marine Band covers a
period of 20 years, and is still con-
tinuing with an important tour ar
ranged for that organization for this
fall, when the band will play in
New England, Pennsylvania. New
York, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Michi-
gan, Wisconsin and Iowa.
During the years preceding his ac-
ceptance of the post of manager of
the symphony, Mr.. Cappel spent a
good portion of each season on the
road. He built up a wide circle of
acquaintances in all the important
cities and towns, and has at his fin
ger tips all information about au-
ditoriums, hotels, transportation
facilities and the many details of
how to move a musical group from
one place to another in the most

Review of Recordings

AS the name of this youngest
member of the symphony family
in disc form suggests, the group
wishes to be identified with its
alma mater, the school for orches-
tral playing. Unquestionably the
training has been sound and OF
the best. The musicians play with
a flawless ensemble, and while they
have not as yet attained a great
elasticity of tone and shading their
performance is very good. Some
splendid work has been done by the
WoodWind and there is an exemplary
accuracy of pitch through the en-
tire section.
The conducting, however, does
not show the best insight into the
possibilities of the work. On the
directors shoulders lies the respon-
sibility for illucidation Of the score
and if he has something to say
the performance is interesting, II
he has not, it is too bad for the
composer, because it is he who IS
at a disadvantage. The perform

up to the conductor to take a step

While Mr.. Moiseivitch does not

performance is of high order and

Doughnut Stones

Doughnut stones are perforated
ring-like stone objects Of prehis-
toric significance. They are found
on the sites Of early Indian settle
ments throughout North America,
particularly in southern Califor-
mia, where many have been UNI
earthed from ancient burial plots.
It is believed that the Indians
slipped these stones over heavy
sticks for use as hammers, weap-
ons, or as weights for digging I'M
plements.

what she is, a lady. Any girl or

officers Of the U. s. army had IN
formally and unofficially' suggest
ed the use Of a little live ammuni-
ton during army training maneu-
vers.

the army would not even comment
upon such a fantastic and childish
statement. But these are not nor

handing general Of the Fourth
army and really guardian Of more
than 100, 900 young Americans, feel
that something should be said
about such absurd statements &C
credited to officers OF the army.
Never Considered
"Of course. there never has been
such plan of action,
and l know of no officer in the
army who would ever give serious
thought to such an idea.
THE truth is that for many
Years there have been reports that
