furniture?
AS you put pictures that vary
pnly lightly in size back on the
walls make a point of having
either the tops or bottoms of the
frames on the same line. Large
pictures are out Of scale in small
rooms or over small pieces of fur
niture, so are small pictures on a
large wall space or over large
pieces of furniture.
If you hang one picture above
another, take care to preserve
uniformity and balance. Tops Of
pictures should not hang out
from the wall. This causes them
to tilt to an unpleasant angle
Place screw eyes near the ton
of the frame SO the picture will
hang flat against the wall.

Ground fresh meat and meat
like liver and brains spoil more
quickly than other meat. These
should be stored loosely-wrapped
and cooked within two days for
the best flavor.
For storing cooked meat, poul-
try and fish, place in covered
container in the refrigerator and
use within a few days. To keep
yolk in the center of eggs, store

tainer in the refrigerator.
For proper storage Of fats, re-
frigerate lard, butter, margarine,

Music
By Alice Eversmon

Charles Munich, conductor Of the
Boston Symphony. honored his
predecessor. the late Serge Kous-
sevitzky, by dedicating to his
memory last nights concert in
Constitution Hall. The playing of
Mozart's Masonic Funeral Music,
K. ATT" as first number was in the
nature of a memorial service and
at its end, by Mr.. Munch's request,
the audience rose to its feet for a
minute of silent tribute. The spirit
of KouSSevitzky was evoked fur
lther by the performance of the
last work commissioned by. the
Koussevitzky Music Foundation,
Honegger's symphony No. S." and
Iof Tschaikowsky's "Pathetique"
symphony, a favorite of the late
music director.
The Boston musicians and their
conductor seemed in closer accord
last night than ever before. The
effort previously shown by the men
Ito achieve Mr.. Munch's desires
was absent and the leader himself
was more controlled and decisive
IN his directing. The result was

music making of the finest order
immediately visible in the per-
Iformance of Mozart's Funeral
Music"
The gracious dignity of this mu-
sic is solemn without being heart
tending. 1t is one of the COM
poser's noblest works, where sor-
row is made to be uplifting. It's
voicing is given first to the wind
instruments in a beautiful chorale
that Is expanded with great beauty
Through the other division of the
orchestra. 1t was reverently played
The last local performance of the
Funeral Music" was in 1897. when
Dr.. Hans Kinder programmed it
for the National Symphony.
| Honegger's symphony in its
modern speech fitted in we'll with
the grief motive of the two other
numbers, for it is a personal work,
filled with introspective refiec-
tions of a sombre nature. The
first movement is especially so,
and part of the Allegretto. The
radius of thought is limited in
these sections. with no waves of
excitement or pronounced cli-
makes and. as if summing up the
Ifruitlessness of the cogitations,
each movement reaches finality
with a single, soft drum beat.
The writing is quite extraordi-
nary. beginning with the rich tex-
tured chords that announce the
first theme. Throughout, the
opening movement retains this
striking quality of sound like thick
velvet touched. at all times, with
an arresting aura of dissonance.
The second movement has an odd
liveliness to it that has no joy,
and which is checked for a mo-
ment by solemn measures reminis-
cent OF the atmosphere of the
opening movement. The final Al
legro marcato is a wild, defiant
outburst that, after a tumultuous
display. subsidies gaspingly to the
concluding drum-tap.
This recurrent use of a single
note from the drum has some
special significance for the COM
poser. for he has inscribed it
under the title of the manuscript
which is now in the possession of
the Library Of Congress. The gen.
uine feeling in this symphony is
strongly communicative, despite
the fact that there are no mo-
mentS when the listener can bask
in a simple emotional expression.
It's construction is remarkably
compact and more opulent in
color than other Of sHonegger's
works. The orchestra played it
magnificently, following a clearly
devised plan and with apprecia-
ton Of its strange emotional in
tensity. The audience was greatly
impressed and the symphony
meant something to it. judging
by its reaction.
Tschaikowsky's "Pathetique" was
envisioned dramatically by Mr..
Munich. At the same time. its
tragic utterances were stark with
out any melting quality. and no
wings were given to the trium-
phant ending Of the third move
ment. Mr.. Munch's viewpoint is
different. AS finely detailed as it
was. there were points of interpre-
tation and of tempt that inevi-
tably were compared to those of
Koussevitzky whose memory was
commemorated. Except for these

Big Four parlley Hopes
Fade as Deputies Fail
10 Draw Up Agenda
BY the Assoeiated Prsss

PARIS, June %. - Prospects
faded today for a Big Four con-
ference on the worlds war jitters.
Sixteen weeks Of attempts by
deputy foreign ministers of Brit
lain, France, the Soviet Union and
the United States to draw UP an
lagenda collapsed last night.
The Western powers told Rus
sia badly there was no point in
continuing their fruitless meet
lings. They added, however, they
hoped Russia would see, her way
clear to attend the proposed Big
Four conference despite the fact
the deputies failed to agree on
what should be discussed.
The West has tentatively pro-
posed that the conference take
place in Washington July %.
The four deputies had made
some progress in compiling a list
of general subjects to be dis
cussed. They were hopelessly1
deadlocked, however, over whether
the North Atlantic treaty and
American overseas military bases
should occupy a formal place in
the conference negotiations.
The three Western deputies
opened the final meeting yester-
day-the 74th since March--withI
a joint declaration which said
Russia's insistence on putting the
treaty up for debate shows the
continuation of this discussion
has no practical utility"
They indicated any further ex-
changes would have to be on the
government level.
Soviet Deputy Andrei GromykoI
appeared perplexed and then al
bit shaken by the declaration. HeI
asked whether it meant the
deputies conference was over.
When Britain's Ernest Davies
replied In the affirmative. Mr.
Gromyko pulled a bulky type
written manuscript from his brief
case and read q two-hour and
40-minutes criticism of the West. |
He then quoted Prime Minister
Stains February interview in
Pravda which said Russia is fol-
lowing course designed to pre-
vent war and maintain peace.
