BY ELENA DE SAYN.

Performed publicly nearly half
century ago, for the first time with
the composer at the piano, Brahms
Sonata No. in F Minor. OPP. 90"
for viola and piano has been re-
Gently issued by Columbia Co. re-
corded by Samuel Lifschey and
Egon Petri. While originally writ
ten for clarinet, this work gains in
sympathy when played upon the
viola, since the tone of reed in
strument. although clear and beau
tiful. has not the warm and vibrant
quality Of string instrument.
The performance leaves nothing
more to be desired as played by
Mr.. Lifschey and Mr.. Petri. The
veteran violist, for a number of
years first desk player of the Phila-
delphia Orchestra, dlScloses talents
as a soloist which should not pass
unnoticed His tone is unusually
lovely. The viola fairly sings in
his hands, while his phraslng, dy-
namics and style are these OF an
artist of the first water. In addl-
ton to the Brahms sonata he has
recorded also, on one side of the
last disc, Bach's "Gavottes Nos,
l and q from Suite No 6 in D
Major," originally composed for
unaccompanied cello.
Bach-S -StokoWski's Album No. q
(ColumbiD contains three pieces:
the famous "Arioso," which forms
part in two Bach's works, Piano
Concerto No. in F Minor" and his
"Cantata No. 1856; prelude in f
Flat Minor No. s" (Welltempered
Clavichord) and "Andante Sos
tenuto" from the violin Sonata in
A Minor" These arrangements fol

mountains" of Indiana.
In Brown County, Indiana, may
be found farmers who live much as
do the poor people of the mountain
sections of the South. The soil in
this part Of the State is a poor red
clay which yields little harvest for
the hard-working hill people.
Most of their money comes from
the tourists who flock to that sec
ton in order to see the famous COL
ors of the autumn leaves. 1t has
been said that the trees in Brown
County have more beautiful tints
than anywhere else in the country.
The streets of the small county
seat, Nashville, are lined with
quaint antique and pottery shops.
These antique shops resemble
every other shop of like nature all
over the country with their broken
spinning wheels, gatelegged tables,
ornate wavy mirrors and dainty
china figurines.
In the pottery shops may be
found queer modern statuary, plump
Gay DOWlS, Ilny Wnat-not vases,
and tall jars to be filled with the
goldenrod so plentiful in that area.
Each fall, artists, both great and
small, gather to paint scenes of
India Summer" and "A Mountain

In almost every home is at least
one painting presented to the fam

little John or Jane as a model The
houses occupied by these artists are
usually cluttered with large gilt
framed scenes of summer sunset
or dirt road disappearing into the
distant woods.

dent. Mrs. Juliette Law met Sir
Baden Powell in England and
brought to America great hopes and
ideas for founding q Girl Scout or
ganization here.
Daisy Gordan, Mrs. Laws niece,
Is the first registered member. Two
troops were formed at the time of
her registration.
Our silver green uniform Is fa-
m1llar and very dear to us. but the
Scouts of that day were familiar
with different uniforms. The first
official uniforms were dark blue
duck with light blue ties.
The Girl Scout organization grew
rapidly and spread over large por-
tions of the United States.
Uniforms changed to khaki mid
dies and skirts, with neckerchiefs.
The patent for the trifoil was Sc
cured in 1914. The trifoil repre-
senting the threefold promise known
by every Girl Scout: Duty to God
and country, duty to fellow man
ana obedience to the Girl Scout
laws.
Since 1917, when Mrs. Woodrow
Wilson became first honorary presi-
dent, the wife of each President of
the United States has been given
this honor.
Mrs. Law died in 1927 and October
81. her birthday, was established IS
official founders day. The Juliette
Law Memorial Fund was begun at
the annual convention held in New
YORK. Our own green uniforms were
adopted at this meeting.
During the next year the world
association was formed.
The organization increased and
camps were donated by people who
were interested in its welfare and
success.
A world flag was designated as
the officials banner of the Girl
Scouts.
Soon advanced courses in Girl
Scouting were offered, the Senior
Service Scouts for girls too old for
intermediate activities and the
Mariners for girls interested in and
living near the sea- The program
now included activities suited to
every type of personality found
among normal American girls.
Juliette Law had achieved her
purpose, her aim-an organization
in which girls might be given a
chance to live happy life in the
service of their country.
She must rest in great satisfac-
ton to know that she has founded
the largest organization for girls in
the United States.

Mary Irene Luft is a collector.

Her collection, which now num-

top of the wide mantel in her home,
was begun about years ago, when
her mother gave her a small replica
of one of the old mission bells Of
California. Now she has bells from
all over the United States, and from
many foreign countries, and they
range in size from Il inch to s
inches in diameter, and from ss
inch to 9 inches high.
The lone mission bell which start
ed her collecting is now one of a
group. She has 20 out of the full
set of 81, and all are easily identified
because of the name and date of
the mission carved on each base.
The bells are all about l inch high.
and each has a different tone and
shape.
One of her collection. a service
bell, is over leo years old, and is the
only one which does not ring. 1t is

After the day had slipped away,
Silently, soft shadows crept
Until they formed a huge black
veil
Under which We mortals slept.
Stars blinked in the moonlit sky.
The moon smiled at the world {.
And as it smiled, it's rays came
down.
And ccntentment was unfurled
Long hours passed, then came the

And the dusky veil gave way
To all the new and brighter things
That come with each new day.

 It Is to the advantage of all gardeners to use compost and an- imal mQnures as much as possible to make the soil more productive.
 In getting the garden ready to plant, the rows should be straight and run the long way of the plot for convenience in working If the plot is reasonably level. If it slopes appreciably and Is subject to washing, the rows should not run up and down the hill In gen- eral, flat culture is preferable to and requires less work than grow ing the vegetables on raised beds or ridges, Ridges, however, must be used on poorly drained places subject to flooding or where IT. rigation is to be used.
