Passage of a bill at this session of Congress to prevent the Commission. | ers from erecting the heating plant | for the new McKinley High School on the corner of Second and R streets northeast will be sought by Senator Copeland of New York.

LONDON, January 20.—Steps have been taken to ‘‘deflate” the ice cream of England, which, it is claimed, is in some cases 50 per cent air. At one time ce cream was almost unknown in the British Isles. Now the annual consumption is 45, 000,000 gallons. The Ice Cream Association of Great Britain and Ireland and dairy organizations have urged the ministry of health to fit a butter fat standard. The contention is made that some manufacturers, by the use of high- speed freezers and concentrated in- gredlients, turn out ice cream whip ped to double its original volume, one-half of which is actually air. Small manufacturers claim that without expensive machinery they make a product that has less air and more cream than that of their prosperous competitors. “ORATORY” AVAILABLE HERE IN BOOK FORM Volume Contains Successful Ora- tions of Last Three Years in be economical and more satisfactory to all concerned to construct under the Langley Junior High School, | which adjoins the new McKinley High | School, one heating plant sufficient to | serve both structures Col.

The music division of the Library of Congress has just received the original_sketches and full score of Robert Schumann’s “‘Symphony No. 1 (in B flat, opus 38) in the composer’s handwriting. The manuscripts were purchased at a recent auction sale in Berlin of part of the celebrated collection of mu sical manuscripts of the late Wilhelm The purchase was made possible through the gift of $1,000 from the Beethoven Associa- tion of New York for the increase of the library's collection of autograph chamber music and orchestra manu scripts in the hands of classic com- posers. The sketches and full score are bound together in the original card boards. In all, there are 188 quarto pages In Schumann's writing. Six- teen of them contain the first sketches of the entire work, written mostly in pencil, and one two staves after the fashion of a “piano reduction.” Ae- cording to the dates placed on them by Schumann himself, these sketches were completed in the incredibly short time of four days, January 23 to 26, 11841, The orchestration was begun on the following day, January 27, and finished on February 20. Thus the whole, to which Schumann gave the name of “Spring Symphony,” was conceived, sketched and orches- trated in less than a month during the time of the composer's greatest activity. 3 This was Schumann’s first large or- chestral work. Numerous changes in the orchestra score were proof that | he was still unfamiliar with the tech- | nique of some instruments, especially the- trumpet and the French horn. The larghetto in this original version differs considerably from the final printed edition of the. &ores vhich ident, was-teasimaster, . i Original Score of Schumann Symphony Is Obtained by Library of Congress was not published until 1853. On the first two front fly leaves Schumann kept a record of the dates and places | of some 50 performances of the sym- phony and the names of the conduc- tors; covering the 11 years before the printed version appeared The first performance took place March 31, 1941, at the Gewandhous, in ielpzig, under the direction of Men- delssohn, who conducted from the manuseript score now in the Library of Congress. This is the first extensive manu- script by Schumann that the Library has been able to obtain. WATERMAN IS ELECTED. Named President of Vermont Uni- versity Alumni Here. Senator-elect C. W.

CHICAGO, January 20.—A brighter picture of agricultural and business | conditions in the Northwest was por trayed today by Roy A. Young, gov- ernor of the Mederal Reserve Bank of Minneapolis. The farmer, through diversification | and other means, has greatly im- proved his condition, said Mr. Young, | who was on the program of the mid- vear meeting of the North Central division of the Chamber of Commerce of the United States. “The surprising part of the whole thing is that we have been able to stand up as well as we have,” de- clared Mr. Young. “The acreage under cultivation is within 5.2 per cent of that in 1920 and the number of farms has increased slightly. The value of farm produc- tion is as great as six years ago in spite of short crops and depressed prices for grain.” Explorer Fights Fever. CHICAGO, January 20 (#).—Her- bert E.

O. Eld- ridge, showed that of a total of 76 trafic deaths, 68 were caused by motor vehicles, while out of a total of 84 deaths in 1925 motor vehicles were responsible for 3. The big discrepancy is shown in the death caused by street cars, which in 1925 were charged with 12 fatalities and five last year. Mr Eldridge's report showed further that the greatest number of per- sons were killed at street intersec tions, 41 meeting death at these points. Thirty-five were killed be tween intersections.

In making known that the bureau would have an exhibit at the 1927 ex- position, President Martin A. Leese of the chamber said: “The Bureau of Engraving and Printing is a welcome addition to the exhibits we are planning for the in- dustrial exposition. We are planning to include the large Government plants, because they are truly Wash- ington industries. They employ thou- stands, and represent an integral part of the economic side of the com- munity. “We are ple: is ased to have the bureau for the further reason that it is an outstanding example of the possibility of making a large industrial structure as well appearing as any other large building intended for commercial use. The contention of those of us who hope to achieve a judieious expansion of industry here is that industrial structures * which are appropriately placed are desirable," It was stated by Mr. Leese, who has just been re-elected president of the Chamber of Commerce, that he now is working on the selection of a number of committees to take charge of spe- cial features of the exposition. s S JOHN KELSEY, 61, DIES.
