HOROSCOPE "The stdrs incline ~s
 bat do not compel"
TUESDAY, AUGUST 5

OGoDnA hoSOto4 O
 Adverse aspects rule through the morning hours today but later benefic planetary influences are active. Again there is an evil s,por- tent for labor. ~
 HEART AND HOME: The stars smile upon families long accus- toned to prosperity. They are un- der planetary direction that gives them foresight and inclines them to share advantages with less for tunate groups. The spirit of de- mocracy will rule in summer re- sorts while among workers for na- tional defense the best understand ing should prevail. The wise will begin now to prepare for future exigencies. Girls should train for practical vacations most important to the general good.
 BUSINESS AFFAIRS: The first of the war fortunes now will be mentioned with more or less resent ment, for notwithstanding Govern ment safeguards wealth will accrue to numbers of far-seeing Ameri- cans. Money will be so plentiful that there will be tendency to- ward extravaganza on the part of Wage-earners. The desire to travel will continue to be general and Canada will share with the United States generous profits due to tho national wanderlust. i.a.5
 NATIONAL ISSUES: Public de- mands for information regarding international policies will be sep- couraged by undercover enemy agencies. Unthinking persons will criticise the Government for secre- cy which is imperative. Astrologers remind the public that 1t is nec- essary to rely unquestioningly upon the leadership of the President and the Congress. Poisonous propagan- da will increase and will be circu- lated through channels belonging to church and state. The label Peace" will be used effectively,
 INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS. Since Britain entered the world war the seers have warned that reverses would be suffered and they have hinted that again his tory would repeat itself by record ing full aid rendered by the Unit ed States. There is a sign read as indicating inevitable loss of Amerir can lives. A disaster on the high seas, probably on the Pacific Ocean, has been foretold. Those who read the stars emphasize the message that isolation is an impossibility f0r this great nation. a]aol Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of year of ad4 vancement and good fortune. Happy memories will be impressed upon the brain this year.
 Children born on this day should be brilliant in mind and strong in character. Many will win fame and fortune.

Gifted Soloists
Share Program
With Ormandv

Eugene Ormandy will conduct the
fourth program in the winter series
OF five to be given by the Phila-
delphia Orchestra Tuesday, Feb
ruary 18, at S:45 pm. in Consti-
tuition Hall.
On this occasion two gifted women
will be soloists. One is the Hun
garian singer, Enid Szantho, a con-
tralto of worldwide reputation and
member of the Metropolitan Opera
Co. Miss Szantho comes by her
Irish first name because of mother
born in Sligo, Ireland. Her father,
former vice secretary of state in
Hungary, and her husband, Laszlo
Steiner, an economist, both are
Hungarian. Miss Szantho will sing
two groups of songs.
The other soloist on February 18
will be Edna Phillips-an American
harpist-who will play the solo part
in new concerto for harp and
orchestra written by the orchestra S
American composer-manager-Dr
Harl Mcdonald
The extra added concert, which
the Philadelphia will present Tues
day of Holy Week-April 8-with
Stokowski conducting and the West
minister Choir participating in Bach's
Passion According to st. Matthew,
also is arousing much interest.

psychical destruction rampant In
the world? Have they come to the
realization that in the beauty and
gentleness of music there is nourish-
ment OF the spirit and that such
nonrishment is greatly needed st
/ this time.
/ The countries Of Europe now at
war have realized it. In England
concerts are being given and music
cultivated as If there were no death
and terror lurking to strike at the
roots OF the British Empire. A recent
article from England, published in
one Of the musical journals, states
that the London Philharmonic
Orchestra has been playing to
audiences that average 10000 a
week. Myra Hess has been giving
midday concerts at the National
Gallery that are heavily patronized.
Other concerts in London and other
cities show little falling off of their
audiences.
Ignored Air Raid.
An incident told in this same
article is worthy of being repeated,
as showing both the stamina Of the
British and their love of music.
Richard Tauber has been appearing
frequently in concerts not only as
singer, but as conductor and
composer. During one of his con-
certS, "Tauber sang an aria by
Mozart and during his performance
a man appeared on the platform be-
hind him carrying placard which
announced that an air raid was in
progress and that any one who
wished to leave the hall might do
so Immediately. But not a soul
moved. and Tauber, who had not
seen the interruptor, went on singing
with no disturbance in the audience
to tell him anything was amiss."
This probably occurs often, since
air raiders are no respectors of art.
But it also proves that music meant
something to these people and that
they welcomed every chance to hear
it. 1t was not simply the fact that
a great singer was appearing or
that they wished little musical
diversion, for no one would risk
death or injury just to get their
moneys worth. 1t must have been
that the opportunity to refresh the
spirit with the kind of tonic that
music gives was worth defying the
invaders to enjoy it.
We need that sort of feeling
toward music in this country. For
that reason we cannot afford to lose
any organization or individual who
can give it to us. The National
Symphony was needed in the past
and has fulfilled that need by in
creasing the cultural appreciation of
many. 1t is needed now to keep our
courage high to meet whatever the
future has in store for us.

Uruguayan Pianist
To Make His Debut
At Pan American

Hugo Balzo, brilliant Uruguayan
pianist, will make his debut in
Washington in a recital at the Pan
American Union Thursday after
noon at pm. invitations having
been issued by the Minister of
Uruguay.
Senor Balzo, who came to the
United States only last month, has
given recitals in New York and has
just returned from several engage
ments in Ohio. The pianist has
been sent to this country by the
Uruguayan government to study
and to concertize. In 1886 he went
to Paris on a musical scholarship.
A year later, in competition with
300 pianists at the International
Bellan contest, he won the first
prize. He has played much in
Europe as we'll as in South America.
The artist will devote a consid-
cradle part of his program to works
of outstanding South American
composers: Allende, Chile; Lecuna,
Venezuela; Tosar and Fabibi, Uru-
quay: Villa-Lobos, Brazil, and Gin
astera, Argentina.

POPULAR Music

A new name joins the great fra
ternity of recording companies. The
newcomer is keynote, and it makes
an auspicious debut with a discing of
two songs written and sung by the
Tin Pan Alley veteran, Harold j
Rome. Taken from the New Pins
and Needles" show, these two ditties
are in the best Rome satiric tradi-
ton and as presented by their author
have punch that few besides Mr.
Rome could inject. With II Wanna
Be a G-Man" he gives Mr.. Hoover s
institution a thorough yet gentle
ribbing C"Outa my way, Bud, lemme
get in at picture"D. And it's a
catchy tune, too. More delicious and
more amply justified. though, is
The Song of the Ads on the back
surface, in which the singer repre-
sents a parade of those horrible sug-
gestions which leap from every peri
odical, radio broadcast and sign
board to enlighten the consumer as
to which is the only gasoline, tooth
pick or moonburn salve that will
provide the Utopian existence. Mr.
Rome carries off this tidbit with g
relish that will readily be shared by
the listener.

The spirit of the dance, either in
phantasie form or in conformity
with actual dance steps, controls
the Columbia company's output of
recordings this month. The most
exotic among them are several from
South America, forming the basis
of collection from that part OF the
world. 1t contains also vocal num-
bers sung by Olga Averino. This
musicianly soprano, well-known
here through her appearances at
the Library of Congress and with
the National Symphony Orchestra,
is heard in several attractive songs,
accompanied by the piano or
combination of piano and strings.
The South American Chamber
Music Album" selected and ar
ranged by Nicolas Slonimsky, fea-
lures nine composers and six coun-
tries: Heitor Villa-Lobos, Oscar
Lorenzo Fernandez and Francisco
Mignone of Brazil; Carlos Pedrell,
Alfonso Broqua from Uruguay, JAG
obo Ficher, a naturalized Argen-
tinian; Domingo Santa Cruz of
Chile, Andre Sas, Peruvian, and
Guillermo Uribe- -Holguin of Col
umbia. Two-thirds of these men
enjoyed period of study in Paris
and, while using native themes,
practically all of them reflect the
impressionalistic style of the French.
The most original among these
musicians is the prolific Villa-Lobos,
a great technician who avails him.
self of the newest means for Or
chestration. His "Choros," Bra
lillian dance, written for violin and
cello, exhausts all technical re-
sources of the two instruments and
is as beautiful as it is unusual. Each
of the strings in turn accompanies
the other. The composition sounds
as if played by a small orchestra
due to a clever use of artificial
effects such as double stopping,
chords, double harmonics, or of
sustained tone with a simultaneous
pizzicato in the left hand.
The piece is excellently executed
by Alfredo st. Malo, violinist, and
Fritz Magg, cellist. In this their
virtuosity is not marred by an over
loud piano tone, annoying in some
of their other numbers such as
Santa Cruz "Arabesque." Sas' Can
tos del Peru" and "Kcachampa,
also Uribe-Holguin DANA" Mr..
Slonimsky, who acts as their ac-
companist, displayed a much more
sensitive touch and a finer style
in his solo by the same Uribe- -Hol-
