Now it bas heen discovered that the stumping machines used for such cancellations are made in the United States, and there have been clamors for an official explunation Post office officials have pointed ont that the Amerlcan-made ma- hines, which have replaced older ones of British make, can deal with more than 600 letters a minute, while the former ones were much slower. It is further stated that no machmes of the same speed and efficiency can be obtained in Eng land hecause of the American pat ent.

TREMENDOUS IMPETUS GIVEN FESTIVAL OF Magnitude of Scheme Catches Imagination of Lead- | MUSIC PROPOSAI ers in All Walks of Life and Wakes Splendid Enthusiasm.’ \ The proposal fo of musi a Spring festival to be held in this city next May, first broached and sponsored by the District Commissioners, ago, has aroused such a spontaneous enthusiasm that already the success of the project seems assured. Hun- dreds of singers and musicians have pledged themselves to the movement and many leaders in business and official life have promised their full co-operation in carrying the project forward to a tremendous success. 1 The magnitude of the proposal has caught the imagination of people everywhere. Nothing but the most enthusiastic comment has been hes on all sides. Among musicians an eagerness to get started on actual work is manifest. The visions of huge choruses, massed bands and operas of the highest type, glorify ing to the extreme American mu- | siclans, singers and composers, has |aroused a fervor that seldom has | marked musical project in this |countr The possibilities that e |#head of a successful festival uniting |all that the city possesses musically |into a glorious five-day program, are | tremendous, according to those in- | terested | The festival plan has drawn closer attention to the movement for a na- |tional conservatory to be lecated |ceive the best the world has to offer in the wav of musical training and at which teachers could be prepared 1o go out all over the land into the public and private schools and unite |in & comprehensive program that would develon in every child a love and understanding for music. Broader Plans Suggested. Several plans have been suggested by various musicians In regard to the | coming vears. once the festival has been established. An even greater | festival has been suggesied for 1927 | covering two weeks and providing for | the performance of several operas | great symphonies, and even going to the extent of providing for competi- tive performances patterned after the | Welsh eisteddfods, at which the lead- ing organizations of the country gather 10 sing and play for prizes and the honor of being adjudicated the best in each class. There seems no Hmit to the possibilities which the festival may suggest. Within the next month the commit- tee to formulate May festival plans will have been chosen, and from that time on the plars are expected to be peeded until the actual preparation of the program« can be undertaken. Among those who have indorsed the project are: Bishop Thomas J. Shahan, rector of Catholic University: “In connection with the musical festival and the e tablishment of a national conservatory of music, permit me to say that I am in favor of both propositions.” Lieut. Charles Benter, director of the Navy Band: “As regards the Spring festival of music and the na- tional conservatory, you may be as- sured that we are in favor of them 100 per cent. They would prove to be of so great an educational value that {it would be almost impossible of full estimation at this time. A national | conservatory here would be an im. | mense benefit to practically all of us. The constanm presence in this city of eminent musical authorities would lighten our work and give us quick access to many phases of musical in- struction that are now attained only with much labor and research.” Capt. W. J. Stannard, director United States Army Band: “It is dif- { ficit to measure the full value of the plan for a Spring festival of music 10 be held in this city. It i to be hoped that the suggestion will be taken up immediately by civic leaders, after which 1 am sure the musicians here wil welcome the op- portunity to co-operate in every way. Personally. § would please me to de. vote the part of my timeé dur- ing the Winter to any activity that Imay be assigned to me by ~those week | |bere, at which Americans could re- | finally tival “Undoubtedly, selected to organize the fes. Washington can be revealed as the real musical center of the Nation. provided the resources here are properly exploited. It is my thought that Washington has be- come ‘routined’ in & musical way and does not really recognize the advan tageous position existing here. What we need more than anything else is some sort of unified endeavor finding expression In an event such the [ proposed annual Spring festival of music, and it i& to be sincerely hoped | that it will be brought about. “Many things come to my mind when thinking of the proposed festi- val. but the feature of exploiting native American composers in at least one of the programs predoml nates in my mind. Where is there a more appropriate place than the Na tlon’s Capital for bringing American’ composers to the front in a repre- sentative program? What more ap- propriate time than the proposed Spring festival?"” 'W. A. White, principal, Army Music School: “I believe that the plan for a great Spring festival of music in this city. to become an annual event, is an undertaking that will meet a long-felt need in this city and will prove an outstanding success. We will do all in our power to asxist in making it a huge success. Edouard Albion, of the Washington Opera Company “The Washington Opera Compan stands ready 1o use its every resource in the furthering of the plans for a great May festival of music. We will 20 arrange our activities as to make possible two or three“opera perform- ances if the committee so desires. The May festival will be a step toward the goal which has long been the am | bition of the Washington Opera Com- pany, to make Washington the music center of the nation. We see wonder. | ful possibilities in the establishment of a national conservatory.” Clyde B. Aitchison, director of the Interstate Male Chorus: “The idea of a Spring festival of music is a splendid one. It ix something we all would very much like to see transpire and 1 feel sure that It can be warked out successfully. The 'undertaking has our best wishes for success.” Sidney Roche, Washington com- poser: “The plan to hold here a great Spring festival of music is the real thing. There is no reason under the sun why Washington should net be- come an educational and artistic music center with good symphony orchestras, festivals, operas and other such ac' tivitiep.” Congratulates Sponsors. Leo Behrendt, director of the Ca- thalic University Glee Club: “It was with great pleasure that I read of the plans for a musical festival in Wash- ington to take place next Spring. Congratulations to the enthusiastic musical spirits who huve conceived that excellent idea and who propose to carry it through. While other Ameriean cities have achieved consid- erable success in their musical under- takings, Washington, the capital of the mightiest Nation, has in the past been satisfled in playing an inferior role in the realm of music. Should the plans as proposed by some mu- sical leaders of our city carry through, then our Capital can claim a place in the world of music worthy of its name.”" R.

August 26.—The Prince of Wales, whose collars, shirts, coats and breeches have set the fashion for these articles of dress among London's smartest men, has unwittingly created a new vogue for the tango, which heretofore has never attained much popularity in the Mayfair ballrooms When the news reached l.ondon that the prince had taken up the tango during his visit to Argentina soclety folk, who for a long time have heen casting aboyt for a substitute to ease the tedium of the eternal fox trot. but were not quite sure whether the Charleston from America would fit in, reacted quickly to the tidings and the dance from Argentina jumped into popular favor overnight The newest devotees of the tango say that the South American step is more restful than the fox trot and more dignified than the Charleston, without, however, losing in grace or spirit. Meanwhile, in spite of its somewhat doubtful parentage. the Charleston is still in the running and is seen more and more often on fash | fonable dance floors. orm at Columbia Will Modern Apartment.
