A marvellous unglazed cotton
print utilizes giant geraniums
and leaves.
One design is Just giant leaves
and flowers. Another combines
this pattern with beautiful IRON
work designs, trellises ablaze
with blossoms, as is the way in
South America.
The fabrics that stem from
Colonial Williamsburg are ideal
for early American rooms and
for the average living room.
There are handsome multi-col-

fine old homespun.
There are lots Of off-whites

Splashy patterns vie with de-
mure designs. And all come
from our own mills to aid in that

The official opening of the Ma
tional Symphony season was also
the first opportunity for the Wash
ington public to hear. in concert
performance, the much talked about
Seventh Symphony" by Shostako-
vich. These two events were suf1-
cient to draw a capacity audience
to Constitution Hall yesterday
afternoon, one which was demon
strative in it's welcome to the di-
rector, DR.. Hans Kinder, and re-
sponsive to all of the numbers pro-
grammed.
1t cannot be said that the recep-
tion of the last Shostakovich opus
was wholly for the work itself for

ton of the orchestra's playing OF

This is the third time the SYM
phony has been heard here, the
other two being Toscanini's and
Rodzinski's broadcasts. It has
aroused considerable comment for
the story connected with its crea-
ton and that its author. serving
in the civilian defense of Lenin-
grad as fire warden during the
bombardment, was able to find in
the happenings about him, inspira-
ton for a musical work of such
magnitude
With all the sympathy that every
one in this country feels, for the
heroic struggle the Soviets are
making and a personal sympathy
for the young piano teacher OF the
Leningrad Conservatory who left
his peaceful pursuits to join the
Peoples Volunteer Army in the
dramatic section, it is not necessary
to hail the Seventh Symphony as
the greatest work of the times.

creative ability was taking, the COM.

an extent that his later work
cemented the foundation of his
fame. Undoubtedly when he has
the leisure and peace of mind to
reconsider this last work of his, he
will revise it for even in these days
Of change, the ideals of art remain
the same.
The symphony has been claimed
a monumental work and herein lies
its weakness. Had Shostakovich
taken the first movement and ex-
panded it enough to make Sym
phony in One Movement" its
descriptive power would have been
fully impressive. The length of the
following three movements make
the work burdensome without
achieving any particular advantage.
In the second and third sections,
possibly written when the thought
of symphony following the Sixth"

during the siege of Leningrad, have
periods of dreariness that say
nothing. Not even the exquisite
melodies that form oasis of great
beauty throughout can lessen the
tedious effect of the linking passages
to any considerable degree.
The appeal of the first movement
is obvious. Whatever may be said

which the effects are created, there

Will Rogers Honored
In Launching Of Ship

Oklahoma Youngsters Led

BY the Associated Press.

BALTIMORE, Nov. 9-With a
great gray craft as the symbol, four
young patriots paid tribute yester-
day to an unforgettable American,
Will Rogers, and the Liberty ship
S. S. Will Rogers was launched to
become another link in the Nations S
huge bridge of ships.
The four young patriots were
Oklahoma school children, 8 to 10
years old, chosen to represent three
schools which collected 1851. 4,607
and 1891 pounds of scrap metal per
pupil in the newspaper-sponsored
collection drive.
Named BY Children.
The unusual tribute to the famous
humorist lay in the fact that his
name was chosen for the ship by
children who were only babies when
Will Rogers died seven years ago.
The S. S. Will Rogers, built in q
days for a new East Coast record
and christened by Mrs. Rogers yes
terday at the Bethlehem Fairfield
Shipyard Co., is the first of 48
Liberty ships to be named by the
scrap collecting children in each of
the 48 States. Oklahoma is the
first to make it's choice.

School, who collected 9,214 pounds

Bobby Lee Walker, 10, representing
the Walco School, with 1851 pounds

Reverting to the mood Of the

the opening and closing movements,

Ceiling Set on Bowling Prices,
But Brings Few Chonqes Here
Price Administrator Leon Hen.

Price Administrator Leon Hen
derson today placed a price CELL
|, ing on bowling, which will mean
an average saving for the Ma
tion's 100000 bowlers of one
half to one-third of a cent per
game. Pool and billiards also
were ordered under price control.
In Washington, the new charges
generally will mean a reduction in
cost at suburban alleys. with prices
at downtown centers remaining
about the same, according to Hugh
Arbaugh, president of the Bowling
Alley Operators Association. Bowl
ers in the Capital area number
more than $4,000. The new prices
become effective December %.
Maximum charges for billiard and
pool were fixed at March, 1912,
levels.
Ceilings for bowling are based on
September, 1941, charges plus an
allowance for recent increases in
labor and materials costs. OPA
stated that the maximums represent
national average reduction of
cent for every three games of league
bowling and a half-cent a game In
open bowling.
The new regulation provides that
the highest price for league bowling
shall be the highest price charged
for each price classification in
September of last year, plus 10
cents in the case of duck pins and
candle pins. and 7 cents in the case
OF ten pins, for each group of three
games.
For open bowling, the maximum
price is fixed at the highest price
charged for each classification in
september, l941, plus 4 cents in the
case of duck pins and candle pins
and 3 cents in the case of ten pins,
for each game.
The game of duckpins prevails
almost exclusively among Washing
ton bowlers. There are only few
leagues engaged in tenpin bowling,
Mr.. Arbaugh said.
Mr.. Arbaugh stated that % cents
per game is the price which prevails
at downtown alleys now, with those
in suburban sections either charg-
ing the same or cent or two
less. In September last year, he
added, downtown centers generally
charged 20 cents game. At that
time Is cents was the prevailing
price in the suburbs.
