London Music Critics Hail
1oscanini Brahms Concert
By The Asseeiated Presa

LONDON, Oct. London
music critics forsook their normal
sedateness yesterday in agree
ing that Arturo Toscanini's con-
cert at the Royal Festival Hall
Monday night-his first in Britain
since 1939-was just about the
best they ever heard.
Mr.. Toscanini-the dynamic
little fury" as one newspaper
called him-conducted the phil
harmonic orchestra in the first of
two all-Brahms' concerts before a
|Sell-out audience. The celebrity
studded crowd of 5000 included
Charlie Chaplain and his wife, Sir
Laurence Olivier and Vivien Leigh,
and the Earl of Hardwood, Queen
Elizabeth's cousin, and his wife.
In the Daily Express, American
guest critic Cecil Smith said that
at the end of the concert, which
included the first two Brahms
symphonies, the 85-year-old macs
tro received lone Of the greatest
outpourings of appreciation in

white pupils there. He issued a
revised statement calling Hines

Eastern High School. But school
Officials still want Hine replaced.

out of the program, marking 1t
''hold."
The two proposed Negro junior
highs which the committee recon-

slated for the near Southeast and
the Central Northwest. Transfer
of Eliot eliminated the need for
the first, and the second project

committee said.

Modern Marriage
Leap Year No Help to Girl,
DESPITE Time-Honored Beliefs
By Dr.. Paul Popenoe

The number Of marriages In o
year depends on q great many
more important influences such as
war and depression. I'm hard
times there are fewer marrisges.)
It isn't easy to trace the influ.
ence, if any. Of Leap Year. Stat
istician Louis I. Dublin has come
to the same conclusion in his
interesting book, "The Facts OF
Life" He reports that There
is no evidence that the marriage
rate in the United States is higher
in Leap Year than in other years.
In fact, since the Civil War period.
only twice was the marriage rate
in a Leap Year higher than In
the preceding and the following
year; the two exceptions were
1896 and 1920"
If you need help in bringing
your friend to face the facts OF
life, Ella, write me in care Of The
Evening Star and ask for a copy
of my 20-page booklet. "This Way
to Marriage" Please inclose q
stamped. self-addressed envelope
and 10 cents in coin. But don't
think that you or any other girl
will benefit by getting a man in q
corner and proposing marriage to
him. If he is not sufficiently in
terested to ask you to marry him.
you'd better take steps TO interest
him more effectively-or else dnd
another man.
