Corner
nCoins
By Ted Hammer

/ librorion, Amefieon kvmismote A.,oeiotior
Two main factors in determin-
ing the value of coins are scar.
city and condition.
Scarcity of a certain coin is
fixed by the number minted and
by how easily obtainable it is. If
only few hundred or even q few
thousand coins of a certain de-
nomination and year were minted
those pieces will fall into the rari-
ty class. The second factor, con-
dition, pertains to the state of
preservation.
Early mint records are not re-
liable in arriving at how scarce
coin is. For one thing, early
mint reports were on fiscal
basis, July l to the next June 30,
and the number of coins of given
denominations reported as minted
in certain year my not have
meant that certain number were
struck bearing that date.
More than 100 years ago, mint
employees continued using old dies
for weeks or even months after
the start of a new year. Thus,
dies for thousands of cents minted
in 1899 more than likely bore
dates of 1893. The latter is quite
common, often being sold at as
low as 81 to So, while the 1899
cent, even in worn condition, is
worth up to $50. Large numbers
OF gold and silver coins were
melted by the Government and
by individuals early in the 10Th
century. AS a result of the gold
surrender order of II years ago,
millions more of these coins were
melted. No records were kept as
to how many of each denomina-
ton and date were melted and no
one can estimate readily as to
which dates are most scarce.
Condition or state of preserva-
ton covers wide field, but is
important in fixing the value of
the coin There is virtually no
market for a coin that is so worn
some of the lettering or figures
are hardly legible.

the brother had friend who had
a cello he wanted to sell for $50.
1t took Mitchell long time to pay
for that cello but with it, he won
a first prize in Iowa City, gained
a scholarship at Peabody Con-
servatory, Baltimore, and finally
was accepted at Curtis Institute in
Philadelphia. There was period
also. testified to by several silver
cups, when he considered seriously
becoming professional golfer.
Audiences Hard to Understand.
AS conductor of a major or.
chestra, he finds audiences the
hardest to understand Some are
slow to accept anything new, 9TH
ers are tired of too much of the
old. He tries to meet both tastes
but he asks: Couldn't people lis
ten 20 minutes now and then to
something new in an entire sea-
son?" 1t is not easy to plan the
programs and it is a pre-vacation
chore. On lake in Vermont dur
ing what is supposed to be a sum-
mer rest, he studies the scores. He
goes out in his boat, with his fish,
ing gear all set, and the music on
his knees. There he works out his
problems, stopping only now and
then when a good tug on the line
shows he has a catch.
Each program is built around
what his soloists will present.
Some artists. like Miss Novaes
and Myra Hess. tell him at once
what it will be, others send In a
list for him to make a choice, and
there are still others who do not
make up their minds until the
last minute. Then ne cannily
slips in his novelty in the first
part of the program, feeling that
the audience will be in the most
receptive mood then. The win
ter's Odd and Even series offers
difficulties. The programs must
be specially balanced so that va
riety is maintained should the
same people want to hear both
series.
Mr.. Mitchell is an enthusiastic
musician, a thinker and an artist
of perception. The very essence
Of music is rhythm, he feels. It
is the strongest force in life and
in all that constitutes the world.
Music, for him must have
rhythmic intensity and drive to
give it immortality and must be
present in even the most soulful
piece. That, combined with form
and beauty, creates undying in,
terest for the interpreter. Among
the later day composers who
understood the subtleties Of
rhythm, Rachmaninof stands su-
preme. He thinks Hindemith
comes next, and his Mathis der
Mailer" is one of Mitchell's
favorites.
He is proud of the musicians he
has collected about him for the
coming season. He hopes that
they can work together in great
harmony and produce perform
ances that will be long re-
membered.

Camera Angles
Early Photographers Had to Be Poinstoking
grind picture By Alexander Weddeburn expect

expect Of it. The operation of
the camera is based on certain
Photographic principles. You
can't just, point your camera at
at object. press the shutter re-
lease and expect to get a good
picture. 1t is quite possible that
you would get something on the
film but it would be far from
satisfactory even if it were usable.
Focus Is Primary Requisite.
Most everybody understands
these days that the camera has
to be in. focus and that the image
if the object which you are pho
tographing must be sharp on
the plane where the film in the
camera is located. If the picture
Is not sharp and clearly in focus,
all the rest of the trouble you go
to will be in vain because you just
won't have picture that can be
used. Most box cameras and other
inexpensive machines are always
In focus and you needn't worry
about that. except when shooting
at closer than 6 feet. Even then
there is a special close up attach
ment Slat will enable you to use
your box camera in this way.
With the problem of focus out
OF the way you will have to give
some thought to what is actually
going on when you snap the
shutter. Take a look at the subject
you are photographing. The only
reason that you can see the object
is that light from the sun or sky
or other source Is striking the
object and these rays are in turn
reflected back to your eyes where
they register the sensation of
seeing on the brain. Your eye re-
acts to varying light intensities
automatically but the eye of the
camera does not. Therefore you
will have to regulate the amount
OF light that reaches the film. This
can be done by changing the
opening of the lens which admits
the light. Or it can be done an
other way by varying the length
OF time that the light is allowed
to reach the film. This is done by
changing the shutter speed.
Even with a given shutter speed,
lens opening, and light intensity
the exposure result can be altered
in still other ways. All film are
not alike. Some are more sensitive
to light than others. This is an
important fact that great
number of beginners do not realize
and by all means you should know
the speed of your film so that you
can make a correct exposure COM
putation. Filters will also change
your exposure if all else remains
equal and they should not be used
until you are entirely familiar
with their effects.

from major works he had not even
heard. He didn't get to first base
with that test. But he made a
decision. Borrowing whole
library of symphonic works from
the Institutes collection, he started
in to learn all the cello parts by
heart. The next year. he was
sent up again. Full of confidence
he watched Stokowski turn page
after page of compositions he
knew to choose, finally. and to his
dismay, another work he had
never heard Of. This time,
Mitchell rebelled. He told the
conductor it was not a fair test
and offered to play anything else
he might suggest. The results
were so satisfactory that a con-
tract was signed for Mitchell to
be a member of the Philadel-
phians' cello section.
The depression came along be-
fore the season began and forced
Stokowski to cancel all new con-
tracts. A little later, Mitchell re-
ceived Kindler's invitation. 1t
came when his eldest daughter
Lorraine was days old. During
the first two years he played with
the symphony, he went twice a
week to Curtis until he obtained
his degree, the institute paying all
his transportation.
Mitchell believes that many Gel
lists take up conducting because
the cello literature is so poor.
There is great pleasure. at first, in
playing the solo repertoire, but it
is limited. He became a cellist by
chance When each of the family
of six, himself, four brothers and
a sister, reached the age of 6, his
mother began to teach them the
piano. At II. Mitchell added to
this accomplishment, a hot"
trumpet which he played at
dances and elsewhere to earn
money. At Is. his older violinist
brother convinced him he should
study the cello, mainly because

You can't just grind pictures
out of your camera like ham,
burger pouring from a meat
grinder. 1t takes more than just
push-button technique. In fact
every. picture you take acquires
bit of your own personality. If you
are the nervous t-it-over-in-a- a.
hurry type of individual your pic
lures will reflect this in COM
mensurate degree Of poor quality
But If you are an earnest worker,
know your camera and It's acces-
sories. and deliberately use them
well you will never have to fall
back on the old moss-covered
excuse that the other fellows pic
lures are better because he had
better equipment.
That alibi is tossed around more
often than you might suppose.
During the recent Amateur Snap
shot Contest there were people
who complained bitterly that one
or two of the consistent winners
Of weekly prizes were able to take
better pictures because of their
more expensive cameras. This is
pure poppycock. You can take just
as good picture with an inexpen-
sive camera as you can with a
high priced one. except in few
instances that are seldom en-
countered by the snapshot fan.
1t is easy to see why an expert
enced worker can make better
pictures with a box camera than
novice lost in the intracacies of
a machine that is designed for
professional use. 1t always has
been hard to sell people on the
idea that they don't have to spend
hundreds of dollars for a camera
before they can get into the salon
class of photography. The best
proof of this contention would lie
in comparison of pictures made
over 100 years ago with many
made today with the latest types
OF Photographic equipment.
Photography Is Too Easy.
With the uncorrected lenses
and roughly built cameras of the
last century, photographs of last
ing beauty and excellence were
made by professionals and anna
teurs alike. Any box camera
made today is superior to the best
Of the early cameras yet the
century old photographs are
usually better than the average
output of today.
You may we'll wonder why this
is so. 1t is not that people were
naturally better photographers in
the last century. 1t is because
the very difficulties that beset the
early photographer made him
think out or plan each exposure
with meticulous care. On the
other hand, we are used to slip
ping a roll of film into our camera
and shooting six to a dozen ex-
posures in as many minutes. And
that is the cause of most of our

lillian pianist, as soloist in the
Schumann concerto. One of the
greatest among woman pianists
Miss Novaes' talent was recog-
nized early by the Brazilian gov
ernment, which helped to start
her on her brilliant career.
DR.. Kinder talked to his first
chair cellist for three days with
out result. Mitchell said he
could not conduct the orchestra
he was one of the men-called his
colleagues by their first names
How could he take up the baton
to lead them in a concert? 1t
simply could not be done. No
more was said about it for the
time being, but one day, during
the rehearsal of Elgar's "Pomp
and Circumstances" DR.. Kinder
suddenly thrust the baton into
Mitchell's hand. saying, II want
to hear how this sounds"
That was Mitchell's conducting
baptism. He had studied the art
at Curtis Institute along with his
cello and other musical subjects
In a short while, he found him
self directing the symphony s
children's concerts. All told, at
that period, he conducted 20 with
out receiving anything as homo
rarium. After this. there was nc
question but that he had proven
his mettle. although no dreams
that he would actually head the
orchestra entered his mind.
Telegram From Kinder.
He came to the National SYM
phony direct from Curtis Institute
on recommendation of Frank
Glttelson, then the symphony
concertmaster. Gittelson's endow.

by that time. He learned 1t the
