on the most intimate musical
level. Edgar Varese's Octandre,
a block buster Of the early
twenties, has probably never
had a finer performance than
it received last night. Here
again, Mr.. Weisberg's uncanny
ability to penetrate into the
most subtle secrets Of a con-
temporary score, and to draw
an emphatic response from his
performers, made it possible to
show all the real meanings i'm
plicit in Varese's shrill, punchy
sonorities and their linear con-
Meeting tissues.
The only disappointment of
the evening came from the
Nonette by alderman. An
empty, hammered and meretric-
ious work, it sounded as if the
composer had thrown together
in random and cavalier fashion

which he hoped would add up

his ensemble last night con-

New President of AAUW
Is Honored at Reception
By FRANCES LIDE
Star Staff Writer

DR.. Blanche H. Dow, presi-
dent Of Cottey College in Ne
vado. Mo-, was introduced"
to a lot of old friends from
Washington educational cir
cles yesterday at a 4:30 to
$3.50 pm. reception at the
Education Center Of the AM
erican Association of Univer-
sity Women.
The occasion was in honor
of DR.. Dow in her new role as
national president of the
AAUW. a post to which she
was elected last summer at
the associations convention
in Denver, Colo.
She is well known here,
however, both for the presi-
dency Of Cottey, which is
owned and operated by the
PEG. and for her work in the
AAUW. including the chair
manship Of both the Fellow
ships Program Committee
and the mmittee on
AAUW Structure.
Officials, Diplomats Attend
In addition to educators,
the party drew guests from
official and diplomatic cir
cles in the Capital.
Assistant Secretary Of La
Dor Esther Peterson, who
served as executive vice
chairman of the Presidents
Commission on the Status of
Women, and Miss Marguerite
Rawalt, a commission men,
Der, were among the early
arrivals.
Mrs. Peterson had a long
chat with her new neighbor,
Mrs. Abraham Hartman, wife
of the Ambassador of Israel.
Having outgrown their home
in Arlington, the Petersons
recently moved into Wash
ington, the Labor Depart
ment official explained.
During a temporary lull in
the receiving line, DR.. Dow
said that, in a way. she had
snapped jobs" with her
AAUW predecessor. DR.. Anna

The National Council Of
Negro Women, converting in
Washington this week, spon-
sored an international night al
the State Department as part
of convention proceedings
Voices, Inc. a well-knit singing
group Of five women and five
men. were the performers.
The program was a long one
made longer by the fact that
1t began almost an hour late,
but once it got under way it was
pleasing. Bernard Moore at a
lecturn supplied smooth and
effective narration In a tele-
vision documentary style for
the musical numbers. which
consisted mainly Of spirituals
and show-tunes.
The double feature Of the
evening was a musical biogra-
ply Of Mrs. Mary Bethune and
a film biography Of her friend
Eleanor Roosevelt, the latter
with commentary by Mike Wal
lace. Both were affecting. Inez
Kerr portrayed Mrs. Bethune,
In four parts. the program
began with a centennial per-
spective on the Negro woman
in the United States, followed
~ the Roosevelt film, proceeded
to a charming depletion OF
musical fun in the home, and
concluded with This Is Our
Day." the Bethune tribute.
The Voices work Cor the most
part without accompaniment
and they are talented young
people with certain theatrical
flair for the kind of music that
is the mainstay of show bust
ness. Their spirituals are sung
without affectation despite the
kind Of narration which has
overtones that might induce a
little extra pathos. and that
restraint carries ever into the
other material they sing, too
Their work Is done with a GER
tain amount Of casual and we'll
lighted movement around the
stage, which helps.

Negro Women T old
To Use the Ballot :

Whaley pointed out, religion
or wealth or prestige don't do
any good. Money is dross I'M
less it can influence public
opinion at the ballot box.
The only thing that counts is
the vote. It's a very powerful
weapon.
Those who have moved,
however belatedly, constitu-
tionally and with some de-
gree of brotherhood, m US t
have our assurance that we
support them for what they
have DONE" she declared.
Women. particularly, seem
to feel that politics is a dir
ty business" that they do not
want to associate themselves
with, the speaker said.
This is wrong" she ar
gued. I'VE live in a country
where every official, from
the President to dog catcher,
is elected or appointed by an
elective official. We have to

INVESTING FOR THE YEARS AHEAD-7
Investment Clubs Can Be Fun and Profitable

earnings, dividends, price, etc,
When a club is new a simpli-
fled form can be made up that
will show these figures. Later,
a club may want to tackle the
MACS chart technique. The
principle involves plotting a
company's sales, earnings and
market price on a ratio or
semi-log chart. On such a chart
a compound rate of growth
appears as a straight line
Once the figures for past earn
ings are plotted, a trend line
may be drawn projecting them
into the future.
Investment clubs have other
problems besides the techni-
ques of buying and selling. The
first one, of course, is how to
get organized. The way this
usually works is that some
imaginative person gets the
idea and puts 1t UP to two OF
three friends. All then sit down
and suggest name5 of four OF
five others who might be In
terested. When tile group
reaches six on eight, it meets
again to round out the men,
bership to about is. In this
rounding-out process, / is ad-
vantageous, although not
necessary, to add a lawyer and
an accountant. The more
different interests and profess
sions represented, the better.
Next step might be to join
the National Association of In
vestment Clubs and get an
organization Kit. Membership is
81 per club member per year
The cost of the kit is IS, which
may be applied to the first
years dues. The kit covers the
following ground: articles OF
agreement or bylaws, with an
explanation of how to operate
the club; investment policy;
record keeping; reporting for
income tax; stock study aids
with a blank form; model
encouragement to be made
with the broker handling the
clubs account.
The address of the NAIC is
1916 First National Building
Detroit 26, Mich.
Two Named as Agents
When the club holds its first
organization meeting, 1t may
invite a competent investment
man to discuss the mechanics
of investing and methods OF
selecting growth stocks. Two
members generally are ap-
pointed as agents. They open
a two-name account with a
brokerage house, put in the
actual buy and sell orders and
handle the money. The clubs
broker provides a safe-keep-
ing account, holds the club
securities, collects dividends
and provides monthly state
ments.

than the amount members have
paid in were under two years
old. And over half of clubs
under one year old had this
kind of paper loss.
Almost as difficult as the
first two years is the period
between the second and fifth
year. During this time the club
should be making a fairly good
percentage return, somewhere
between 8 per cent and IL per
cent according to the July,
1860. polD, but the dollar
amount of each individuals
stake still looks pretty small.
Then, too, the novelty and fun
Of starting the club have worn
off while the work of select
ing stocks goes on and on.
This period, therefore, is the
one in which members are most
likely to lose interest and al
low the club to fall apart.
Outlook Briehtens
If a club can last through
the fifth year-and, even
better, the seventh year-the
outlook brightens. The ad-
vantages of compounding be-
come apparent, and the indi-
viduals stake begins to appear
worthwhile. The average an
nual income plus appreciation
in clubs that had been in ex-
istence seven years or more in
1860 was IA per cent COM
pounded. And it should be
noted that $40 a month in
vested for seven years at that
rate amounts to around $1.400,
$40 a month, to around $4,000;
$50 a month, to around $4,000,
and so on.
Remember. though, that
these rates Of growth-11 per
cent after five years and IA
per cent after seven-d didn't
come automatically. All the

The Association publishes q

growth stocks are analysed
and in which the portfolios OF
various member clubs are re-

One at q Time
Since selecting good stocks
is probably the hardest and
the most important job that q
club has, the NAIC has done
considerable work on growth
stock selection methods. 1t rec
ommends, first, that a club
take up an industry each
month. Ideally, an industry
should be selected from among
those that are growing faster
than the economy as whole
A two or three-man investment
committee is appointed to build
up a list Of the leading COM
panies in the industry, along
with pertinent facts and fig
ures on prices, earnings, etc,
The committee reports to the
full membership at the next
meeting, and one stock is Sc
lected for purchase.
There are several ways in
which the investment commit
tee can get its information
The brokerage house where
the club has its account will
make available statistical mar
ket services. often it will al
low club members to take out
pertinent material overnight
The investment committee may
also write direct to the presi-
dent of any company in which
it is interested and ask for the
annual report and whatever
other material is available
Such letters will usually bring
in a raft of information. some
times direct from the president
of the company himself.
To select the stock that
comes closest to the ideal re-
quires that all stocks under
consideration be listed uni
formly so as to show sales,
