CORNERS AND CANYONS
BY Frank Edwards Henckel

NEW YORK.-Cookie is a dog, or
the comings-up of a dog, and be-
longs to the daughter of family.
He is five months old and cocker
spaniel Two feet long; ten inches
high; ears, when spread wide like
the open doors of a sedan, fifteen
inches from tip to tip. Color, shiny
black, like the bottom of a mid-Vic-
torian hair-seated parlor chair, ex-
cept for some little white under his
chin. Pedigree, Topped - all the
way back to Fascination's remotest
ancestors and from them down
through thousand dogshows to
Cookie.
(You will find Fascination in the
cocker spaniel section of somebody's
list of the worlds greatest dogs.)
Cookie has feet. Four of them
all on the elephantine model; and
with an affinity for mud. If there is
a new mucno1e anywhere within
ten blocks, Cookies feet will find
it and bring all the adhesive matter
back with them to the house. You
can always tell when Cookie has
found a new mudhole. You can tell
it all along the sidewalks to the
yard-path to the porch to the hall to
the living room and thence to all
the other rooms in the house. There
is no partiality about Cookie, that
way; he thinks it is all just too cute
He wags his little stump of tail
and laughs and laughs when you
have to put him to the bath to soak
the mud loose.
| don't like it about his little tail
There was man once who was a
natural born criminal and a sadist
to boot. He was the first man to
bob a dogs tail. He was also the
first to crop a horses tail. Then
when he had died and gone to his
just reward, other criminal-saddists
came along and continued the bar
barism.

unlike his other symphonies there is no overt political or literary pro- gram attached to it. There is an extended slow movement which opens the work followed by two fast movements, bright and who'll ly unpretentions. The third move ment is based on dance rhythms and themes inspired by the popu- lar folklore of Russia.
 William Boyce (1710-1779) was known principally as composer of church music and an organist of outstanding ability. Constant Lambert, from various works of Boyce, has arranged music for a ballet entitled "The Prospect Be- fore Us." It is music warm but not sentimental, immediately con- structed without being cold, noble yet devoid of mock heroics.

Shostakovich Music to Celebrate
 Composers Birthday in Record Concert

A "free association test" con- ducted at Bradley Field these days might we'll run as follows: Tues day evening-Rain; Rain-Music; Music-Base Library; Base Lib- rary-Tuesday evening concerts, etc., etc.
 For next weeks rainy night con- cert we have chosen work by three different composers, Shostakovich, Boyce and Kreisler.
 The program will open with Shostakovich's Sixth Symphony. The composer was born in Lenin- grad in 1906. In 1919 he entered the Conservatory of Leningrad and began to compose while still a pupil there. Much of his music is frankly political in program, most natural attitude to expect from a composer living in a time and in a country where every cit izen is conscious of the fact that he is making world history. The Sixth Symphony was performed Tn Moscow on 3 December 1889. but
