in doing the work, if they desire
to use such service. This instruc-
ton will also be given without
cost to all members who attend
the schools.
The movement, which was
launched by President Roosevelt,
will enable cooperative members
to get plumbing installed in their
homes at about one-half of the
usual cost, Mr.. Messick said. Only
a small amount has to be paid
down and the balance over a five
year period.
Arrangements for group buy
ing have already been made with
several leading manufacturers, it
is stated.
"This is wonderful oportuni-
ty and I want all of our mem
bers to take advantage of it," Mr.
Messick declared. "Our goal fol
the Coop is 1000 bath rooms on
the REA lines this year."

Congratulations to Representative W. B.
Austin and to the West Jefferson mayor
and board of aldermen for their efforts
and actions to establish a state park on the
top of Negro Mountain We hope there will
be no delay in getting the Department of
Conservation and Development to pro-
claim it as Estate park" and for the State
Highway Commission to take over the
road and improve it. The view from the
top of Negro is the most beautiful in east
ern America and it is our duty to let the
world know about this scenic spot.

Synphony's
10th Season
Concluded
G.. W.U.Ch
Sings Sibelius
Numbers
By ALICE EyERSMAN.

The Beethoven-B Brahms -SibeliuS
Festival and the 10th season of the
National Symphony Orchestra closed
last evening with a concert which
hOnored each of the composers in
turn. A further division was made
by assigning to the George Wash
ington University Chorus the three
Sibelius choral numbers, to Ania
Dorfmann the Beethoven piano
Concerto No. l in c Ma ajor' and to
the orchestra the Brahms First
Symphony" The combination of
the assisting artists and the orcheS-
ira made for program of unique
character, which was received with
universal acclaim by the audience.
The choral writings of the Finnish
composer were varied in style and
content. his Onward. Ye Peoples"
being noble work in rich harmony,
The Bells of Berghall" a lovely and
colorful number, while Dear Land
of Home" given by request, gave oc-
casion for the stirring melodies of
"Finlandia" to precede and follow
the group singing. The fresh young
voices of the chorus. eXcellently
trained by DR.. Robert Howe Harmon,
came forth in unforced volume
above the full tone of the orches-
ira. The appeal of the music was
enhanced by performance we'll
studied and sung with spirit.
Miss Dorfmann, who has played
before with the Symphony gave a
brilliant reading of the Beethoven
concerto. She has great power in
her touch and a sparkling crispness
in runs and octaveS that stands out
in a frame of impeccable rhythm.
Her tone lacks suavity and emo-
tional color mostly felt in the Largo,
where her fine musical analysis was
predominating. But in the force

Likes Heavy Roles

Returning to the type of heavy
role that won her stardom in her
very first picture, Patricia Morrison
has deserted the ranks of the hero
ines to become heavy in her next
picture at Paramount.
She is portraying "the other
woman" in Edward H. Griffith S
production, "One Night in Lisbon" !"
With blond Madeleine Carroll as
the heroine, brunette Patricia will
portray the divorced wife of Fred
MacMurray, which gives her plenty
of opportunity TO raise hilarious
hob with romance.

Rusting Rail Look
Quite Attractive Now

Since Uncle Sam has turned junk
man and is crying for scrap iron, at
tention of the defense agencies is
turning toward some of those rusty
rails which used to be bright and
shiny before the fivver and the
truck took away their business.
A quarter Of all the iron scrap
which goes into the manufacture Of
steel normally comes from the rail-
roads, and scrap makes up so per
cent Of the basic raw material of
steel. According to recent reports,
SO per cent of all traffic is carried
on 70 per cent of the mileage of the
railroads of the country. The roads
would be glad enough to get rid of
the rusty rails which carry little or
no traffic and the government would
be glad to tap this source for tanks
and ships and guns if it were avail
able. However, when formal steps
are taken to abandon a branch line
there is usually a strong protest
from the citizens Of a community
through which it passes.
Recently a representative of the
Interstate Commerce commission
was holding a hearing at a town
distant from Washington. Many per-
sons from the community we're
present as witnesses protesting the
abandonment of a branch road which
went through it.
There was a dispute as to how
much the road was used by the
community so the ice representa-
tive asked all those who had come
to protest against the abandonment
of the line who had come to the
meeting by auto, truck or bus to
raise their hands. All the hands
went up. None had used the rail-
road.
With the call for more steel for
national defense, Washington is look
ing with hungry eyes at the rusting
rails.

Has Trouble All His Own

Doesn't Like It at All.

told her about this house being over
a hundred years old and 1 told him
about the well-water. 1t had gone
bad. So he said to 60 ahead and
dig a new we'll"
Smith showed me the new well.
1t is 40 feet deep, drilled through
the rock. Smith was proud of it.
Up Duchess County way they have
a pride in old things that are good.
1T will last a hundred years."
Smith said with obvious satisfac.
ton.
Two Things Worry Him.
Smith does general farming
raises wheat, oats, corn, potatoes
and vegetables and keeps IA cows.
He has a good home market close
by and he raises enough vegetables
for himself.
There were two things which were
worrying Smith when I talked to
him. One which every farmer wor-
ries about these days-getting help.
And another which is the particular
worry Of a tenant Of a President.
Every year the Home club meets
on the Smith lawn, a group of some
four or five hundred Hyde Parkers
incidentally I understand these
people r really the ones the Pres
ident likes the most. This year
something happened that worried
Smith.
AS host he made an Introductory
speech. He told me that he looked
around and saw there weren't any
microphones and concluded that as
long as this was a home gathering
he could say what he pleased with
out being quoted in the papers.
He got a little excited, he told
me, and said something about wish
ing the interventionists would 60 up
on a mountain and talk themselves
to death. Next day he was shocked
to see his words in print. And he
got a lot of letters protesting.
He explained to me very earnest
ly that he didn't mean to say that
anybody could not say what they
wanted to under the Constitution.
IT suppose it's all right that they
should" he said, but it just seemed
to me that when these people talk
that way and show d~issention in the
country they just encourage those
people in Europe to prolong the
war;"
That's all I meant to say" he
concluded, II never had any idea
a reporter would 60 and put it in the
paper"
Smith does not think they should
have put it in the paper at all
even If he is the tenant Of the land
lord that he is.
