the year, in most sections of the
nation, the weather is clear and
crisp; the autumn rains have
ceased and it is too early in most
instances for the SHOWS and sleet

The extended holiday-if you're
lucky enough to have the Friday
following Thanksgiving-will be
used by many to pay visits to the
folks back home or to attend a

Flutes: One Mans Collection Tells Their Story
By COLT HENDLN, Jr.

DREPARING A COLLECTION of some
= 1900 flutes, 1,400 books about
flutes, $4,000 pieces of music for flutes
and other related material for exhibi
ton involves learning quite bit about
well, flutes.
So says William Lichtenwanger of
the music division of the Library of
Congress.
The project also involves learning
something about the man who pre-
sented the collection to the Library in
1941, the late DR.. Dayton c. Miller,
physicist at the Case School of Applied
Science in Cleveland.
At present Mr.. Lchtenwanger and
few assistants are wading through
l06 large packing cases which con-
tain the collection.
The first survey has been completed,
so they know approximately what is
IN the collection. But the real work
is just starting, the cataloging of
each item and the setting up of
permanent display.
Until this has been finished, speci-
mems from the collection can pe seen
in the lobby of the Library. On dis
play, for instance, is the ebony flute
owned by Frederick the Great, 17th
century King of Prussia The original
manuscript of an aria composed by
the Prussian monarch is among the
many old manuscripts in the collec-
ton.
A few days after the collection
arrived in 1941, the order to evacuate
all valuables came through, Mr..
Lichtenwanger explained The flutes
were sent to depository and we're
not returned to the Library until the
end of the war. Even then the music
division could not get started on
the collection until some 600 cases of
other cataloged material had been
unpacked and replaced in the Library
stacks.
Evening star., 1947-02-09

Dr. Miller's first item was a Civil
War fife given to him by his parents
when he was baby. Broken later,
the fife was the start of the collection
which traces the history of the flute
from the first bone and cane pipes Of
primitive man to the modern flute.
which is practically the same as the
instrument perfected by Theobald
Boehm between 1880 and 1885,
Oldest manuscript in the collection
is one published in 1888 at Heidel-
berg by Heinrich Knoblochtzer. One
chapter is headed de Tibia," Latin
for ION the flute" Flutes in those
days were made from bones.
In the collection can be found YER
sions of the flute such as the Arabian
Qussaba, the Bulgarian Kaval, the
Chinese Tung Hsiao, the Maori Koa-
uau, Rhodesian nose flutes, walking
stick flutes. Guatemaian clay flutes,
pre-Inca period flutes from Peru,
human legbone flute from South
America and American Indian love
flutes.
In fact, you can name your material
and the Miller collection has it
including the latest thing, a plexi-
glass flute.
Dr. Miller even made an all-gold
flute in 1905 in special laboratory
in Cleveland.
When he finished this flute, valued
at $2,500 at that time, DR.. Miller took
the instrument and played few
notes. Then, so the story goes, he
went back into his laboratory with a
vacuum cleaner.
After cleaning the room carefully
ne sold the bag of dust for several
hundred dollars to buyer who hoped
to find enough gold to compensate for
his investment.
There's no doubt about it," Mr..
Achtenwanger declared. "Dr. Miller
was a man with passion for flutes. I"

Cagers Here Saturday; 54-42 Score

Failing to keep pace with sharp

college cagers went down to defeat

to AZ Saturday night on the Bluff

Showing the effect of a long lay
off over the holiday season, the
Beavers were, not up to their pre-
Christmas form, and the colored Wis
itors put on a real offensive per-
formance to pull away to a 12-point
victory.
Bluffton started stronger than
their foes, holding a 8 to edge at
the close of the first quarter. In the
second period, however, Wilberforce
reversed the advantage, and the visi-
tors were out in front at halftime,
23 to 20.
Most of the winning margin was
built up by Wherefore in the third
