occasional forced tones, the

dry or "musicological" despite

Two woodwinds from the Ma
tional Symphony last night
Joined the Budapest Quartet al
the Library of Congress to play
Mozart's quartet for oboe anc
strings and his quintet for clari-
net and strings.
Ernest Harrison and Harold
Wright showed themselves to be
no less at home in the intimate
atmosphere of the chamber mu-
sic ensemble than they are ir
the autocratic orchestra.
Both works are among Mo-
zart's best for a small ensemble
and each is quite different In
style. The oboe quartet is a. dis
play piece for the solo instru-
ment, with the strings taking a
subordinate part Of accompani-
ment. Mr.. Harrison has to play
for Is minutes or more almost
without a pause of breath.
His tone is very beautiful. and
his control of the oboe, which Is
famous for getting into all sorts
of unforeseen difficulties, is ad-
mirable. The long D minor song
that is the second movement OF
the work could hardly have beer
more touching.
The clarinet quintet, on the
other hand, is a completely in
tegrated piece, with the sole
instrument woven into the fabric
Of a tapestry of many colors
Only in the additional trio oi
the minuet is the clarinet sci
apart like a visiting prima donna
to show off her voluptuous tones;
elsewhere she makes music with
the strings on equal terms. Ano
what q multitude of colors and
enchanting figurationS there
are!
Mr.. Wright is a superlative
clarinetist. His tone is easy anc
pure. and his sense Of timing
and ensemble unfailing. Seeing
him sitting in back of the strings
facing the audience, it was
brought home to me how the
clarinet seems to defy the usual
laws of acoustics. Even though
the bell is partly buried in the
players knees, and obStructeo
by the music stand, the tone is
as unaffected by this muffling as
though the instrument were

All Club Week Flames Cut

Stock Appears To Be A
Total Loss; Building
Heavily Damaged In
Night Blaze.

Flames swept thru the Milford
Army and Navy Store in Milford
last Saturday night, causing ex-
tensive damage to the stock and at
least several thousand dollars dam
age, to the brick building located at
the corner Of Southwest Front and
South Walnut Streets.
The total loss has not been esti-
mated by EdWard Bruner Of Do
YER, owner Of the store, and Bur-
ton p Masten of Milford, owner of
the building Mr.. BrLner's son.
Harold, is manager Of the Milford
store.
The blaze broke out on the first
floor section Of the building within
10 minutes after the store closed
at $3.50 D. m.
Exploding cans of canned heat
helped spread the flames to the
upper portion Of the building.
Volunteers Of the Carlisle Fire
Company sped three pieces of
equipment to the scene and laid
lines Of hose in both the front and
rear in addition to cutting holes
in the roof to pour water into the
flaming interior.
F'iremen succeeded in bringing
the blaze under control before it
spread to adjoining buildings. They
were hampered by a high wind but
the fact that a fire wall separated
the burning building from the
Pierce Hardware Company proper
" was a factor favorable to the
fire fighters.

State House Again
Threatened By Fire
Blaze Was Confined To
Floor In Treasurer's
Office

The south wing Of the old State
House was the scene Of a fire last
Sunday evening that might have
had serious results had it been
permitted to continue unnOticed.
The FIRE was confined to a portion
Of the floor in the Office Of State
Treasurer Howard E. Dickerson.
When Dover fremen reached the
scene the smoke was so thick that
considerable difficulty was expert
enced In locating the fire. The first
floor and the basement of the south
wing were overfOwing with smoke.
After bringing their smoke ejec-
tors into service, and donning
smoke masks, the iremen finally
lccsted the fire on the floor Of the
Treasurer's office and when they
were able to reach it, they quickly
extinguished the b1msS.
However, because Of this pOssibil-
ity that the fire might have reached
into the walls Of t!se building, Fire
Chief George J. Hill, o., ordered
a second alarm sounded which
brought all Of the Dover fire ap-
paratus to the scene as we'll as
more firemen.
The FIRE was caused by an cleo
trio heater, which apparently had
been left burning from the close of
business on Friday, and which was
located on the floor under the
Treasurer's desk. The electric cord
leading to the heater was burned
off.
The fire from the heater ate
through a rug on the floor into the
wooden flooring and then ate into
the rafters under the flooring. It
