Nothing short of the true meaning of the word perfection can adequately express the choir’s rendition of the most beautiful and difficult classical religious music. Praise of the most flattering kind leaves something to be desired. Each Voice Is Perfect Standing before his singers, each one of them perfect in tone, pitch and rhythm and letter perfect in the mu- sical score, Dr. Christiansen gives no pitch. There is no accompaniment and ne scores are used. Before his baton moves, he has the entire atten- tion of each one, then there is the rte of song at once full, melodic and rue, Pianissimo effects in singing and in the humming which gave sustained moments of rare delight were infinite- ly delicate but audible through the large auditorium to. the last whisper. The solo voices, the beautiful s0- prano of Gertrude Boe Overby and the tenor of Howard Jarratt, were submerged into the singing of the group. In this choir, the soloists take no forward position as they sing. }Ineidental soloists are not even mens tioned on the program.

If anyone had suggested this event- uality to Vertex he would scornfully have said, “Sans blague!”—which may be translated loosely as “Oh year?” —and would have ordered another martini. Tissier was arrested, as I have said, on December 22. He was charged with swindling some 500,000,000 francs, in the false bond deal in Bayonne. And the first thing he did was to show the white feather. “All right,” said his lawyer. “Let them accuse me. Let them keep me in jail. But I am going to talk, and when I get through talking the whole Chamber of Deputies and the Cabiret, will be in prison. Nobody in France will be safe. Just wait and see.” They waited, and they saw. Hard-Boiled Prober The state investigation in Bayonne was placed in the hands of a judge named d’Uhalt. He was a two-fisted, hard-boiled investigator. He inter- viewed Gustave Tissier every day, and every day that “squealer” named) more names. For every name men- tioned Judge d’Uhalt produced an indictment. For every indictment there was a flaming headline in the papers. ‘We have an idea in the United States that we alone know something about) emotional scare-journalism. I wish I could reproduce here some of those streamers. American editor would have been arrested for passing them. One of the first things Judge d’Uhalt. did was to arrest the fat Bayonne play- boy mayor, Joseph Garat. That was on January 8 In the streets of his city the crowds assembled and jeered at him. They followed the undigni- fied “Black Maria” that carr’sd him to the doors of the courthouse. Th2 were remembering the stories laugh- ingly told about their corpulent chief executive. They remembered his sumptuous “official” dinners, his gay parties. They also remembered that these were paid for out-of their own lost funds. They had winked indul- gently at his reputation for liking the ladies, but they now recalled the stor- ies told by indignant manicurists whom he had insulted, chorus girls, to save his Colonial Minister in a weak communique on January 6. On January 7, however, he demanded Dalimier’s resignation. Dalimier re- fused. The press clamored all the more. The people grumbled. And finally, late in the evening of January 8, Albert Dalimier handed in this Portfolio. Thus ended his political career in France. A certain paper, hostile to the gov- ernment and of strong reactionary tendencies, suggested that a timely suicide by Dalimier would have been @ noble gesture. Perhaps, after all, this was a kind- ly suggestion. Now, however, the preas had real- ized what a story was breaking. Paris- Soir broke it on December 26, and Le Jour followed up with a startling revelation by Vertex to the effect that the Paris playboy, Serge Alexandre, and the Sante prisoner on bail, Sacha Stavisky, were the same individual. Furthermore Vertex told the world that the Surete Generale, national Police on the same order as Scotland Yard, had known all along of Alex- andre’s real identity and had done nothing about it. Made Paris Mad And this disclosure made Paris mad. No wonder. Angry Paris and angry Prance had not the least idea where Serge Alex- andre, as people still thought of him, could be keeping himself. Gustave Tissier was screaming his name loud- er than all the rest, but nothing hap- pened. He had vanished. Officially, at least, the police knew as little as the press, and the press knew nothing. “Where is Stavisky hiding?” blazed out the headlines of hundreds of Siiasasl dailies. And nobody answer- He was rumored to be in Switzer- land for the winter sports. He was reported in Paris. Someone recently had seen him leaving the Hotel Clar- idge, where he and his wife had taken apartments for the Paris season. But he had definitely gone when the de- tectives arrived. Some more cynical rumors even hinted that an airplane had carried him over the border— safe from the chance of revealing too much about highly placed men who were involved in the scandal. But this was stated by a newspaper known to be hostile to the government.

ENTOMOLOGIST RAPS, SWENSON STATEMENT Denies That Birds Have Been; Poisoned by Bait Spread for Grasshoppers No losses of game birds by poisoned | bait spread to curb grasshoppers have been reported to the Burleigh county bd Office, it was learned Thurs- lay. The question of the endangering of the bird life was raised when J. A. Munfo, entomologist from the| Agricultural college, took exception to @ statement by Thoralf Swenson, state game and fish commissioner, jwho condemned the use of arsenic- | laden bait as a menace to birds and & “racket.” “North Dakota bird life is not threatened by the poisoned bait,” Munro said. “It seems strange we haven't had authentic reports of birds | in large numbers from acl bait, if what Mr. Swen-| aon says is true.” i “Both state and federal experiment stations have conducted investiga- tions into this very situation and have discovered that the bird loss is negli- sible, if any. “Mr. Swenson characterizes the control campaign as a racket, but if anyone is benefitting welcome it as a means of saving their “It is unfortunate this statement should come from the head of the; game and fish department just at this time when the control program is pro- ceeding so well, and it is equally un- fortunate the statement should have been made without an investigation of available facts.” If bird life alone could contro} the insect pests there wouldn't be any grasshopper invasions, said Munro, but the birds cannot hope to multiply as rapidly as can the insects. He said that in the seventies of the last century, when the grasshopper scourges were severe, birds probably were as plentiful if not more so than used and the grasshoppers ruined crops despite the birds’ efforts. “Granting that a few birds do die from the poisoned grain,” Munro said, “the crop must be saved.” Firecracker Injures Democratic Nominee New England, N.

The firecracker was lighted by his brother several feet from Pechtl and tore into the calf of his leg as it ex- ploded. Clothing and powder were driven into the leg and infection re- sulted. Pechtl was given anti-lock- jaw serum and apparently will suffer no harmful effects from the accident. New England Lawyer Leads Primary Race| New England, July 12.—(?)—Harrv| J.

O, said Thursday. On cattle appraised prior to that time withdrawals may be made, bu the county agent's office or the town: ship committeemen must be notified of such withdrawals, Putnam said. Contracts for cattle shipped cannot be sent to Fargo or St. Paul until all condemned animals have been killed. Federal emergency relief men have been detailed to do the killing and they will furnish receipts to the coun- ty director. Killings may be reported through the township committeemen and Put- nam recommended that in cases where, condemned animals are butchered, the heads be left on the premises with the tags in the ears so the FERA men would have a check on all such cattle. Ninety-seven cars carrying between 4800 and 5000 head of stock have been shipped from Burleigh county to date, according to the county agent. Roosevelt Cruiser On Way to Hawaii Balboa, C.
