But first let us get it Strengthened out
about these Washington streets, and
why there is no street, as such.
Actually, there is Jay street over
Northeast.
But the letter was left out of the

perhaps rightly that it would be con-

Popular Patronage for the Orchestra

Huntington Cairns, secretary treasurer and
general counsel of the National Gallery of Art
not long ago wrote an essay on The Future of
Musical Patronage in America" which should
be read-and pondered-by every lover of music.
He points out that music-makers, composers
especially, always have been handicapped by
their natural inability to commercialize their
work while at the same time maintaining it's
artistic integrity. Even under endowment from
a government, they are not free to do their best.
Mr.. Cairns does not say so, but his argument
inevitably leads up to the conclusion that only
through popular support can musical organi-
cation or institution prosper both economically
and artistically.
Certainly, this is true in the specific case of
the Nationally Symphony Orchestra. At the
opening of its twenty-first season. Washington's
own orchestral ensemble is asking the public to
buy sufficient number of tickets for "a con-
certs and three ballet performances to justify
its existence between October "a and April g.
If the public responds generously, the season
will be a financial success. The orchestra is
pledged to do its part to the limits of it's powers

Improving Virginia Justice

Chief Justice Edward w. Hudgins Of the
Virginia Supreme Court of Appeals has made a
good suggestion. He wants all of the States
trial justices to hold regular conferences of the
type recently called by Governor Battle in his
drive for traffic safety. The Governors plan
worked well. Since he urged the judges to crack
down on reckless drivers there has been notice
able improvement in the traffic safety field.
Newspapers have carried numerous stories of
heavy fines and jail sentences meted out to
fragrant offenders of the traffic laws.
Chief Justice Hudgins points out that judi
cial conferences held annually or oftener, 'pould
help to bring about more uniformity in sentenc
ing offenders, would impress the trial justices
with their responsibilities and would generally
improve the quality of Virginia justice. Similar
conferences are held regularly in other States.
Virginia cannot afford to lag in this movement
for better administration Of the courts.

King Georges Illness

Washingtonians remembering the visit of
King George and Queen Elizabeth in 1889, have
a personal interest in the present illness of his
majesty. They saw him as he rode down Penn
sylvania avenue and they remember him as
likable, friendly man. His aspect was modest,
his manner congenial. He left an impression
wholly admirable.
Then, during the bitter years of World
War II, the people of Washington, in common
with those of other communities on both sides
of the Atlantic, read of his continued residence
in London while 1t was under bombardment,
saw him reviewing troops for the movies, heard
his voice over the radio. And these, too, were
ties between King George and the American
public. He was comrade and an ally in sea-
son of conflict and trial.
More recently, the marriage of his daughter
Elizabeth, the birth of his grandchildren the
Festival of Britain and the coming of age of his
daughter Margaret Rose have brought him again
and again into the experience of thousands of
WashingtonianS who now naturally are con-
cerned over reports of his majesty's illness and
the serious operation to which he has submitted.
If goodwill and sincere best wishes will help the
King in his struggle back to health, he is assured
of them in the Capital of the United States.

There can be no question about the esthetic
merit of such offerings. Howard Mitchell has
maintained the high traditions of Hans Kinder
and has added his own sincere and earnest
endeavors as the orchestras leader. His players
are at the peak of their technical proficiency
In terms of proved desert the orchestra has
every right to ask and to receive popular en-
dorSement at the box office. Mr. Cairns near
the close of his essay refers to skilled and ex-
perienced musicians as helping to make life
itself supportable in this "age of confusion -
His appraisal obviously is accurate. But all who
love music must aid, also The alternatives are
neglect and Illustration, disappointment and

The mantiS is an insect-and what

Our correspondent rightly is pleased
with the eyes.
Positively, there is not another crea-

They look at one as if fully under

they realized that you are a human
