Ancient Mission House Robbed of Rare Collection, SAN FERNANDO, Calif.,, October 22 (#).~—Valuable relics were found to be missing yesterday from ancient San | Fernando Mission, which was entered | by ‘robbers Thursday night. Among the treasures taken by the | thieves, were two ostensoriums; “""i manuscrints written in Spanish relat- ing to the foundation of the mission 130 years ago; a rare altar cloth, a chalice and- an ancient chalice veil, a specimen of needlework done by Spanish nuns in the Middle Ages. | MUSIC JORDAN MUSIC FORUM. The Jordan Music Forum programs that are given every Friday night, under the auspices of the Arthur Jordan Piano Co., and that are so popular with music lovers, had a very interesting hour of vocal and piano presentations last night. The program was broadcast from station WMAL and was under the personal directicn of Frank Kimmel. There were three stars on the forum program, Martin Mallory, Irish bari- tone; Elenor Locke, soprano, and | Stewart Dickson, pianist. The accom- | paniments for Mr. Mallory and Miss Locke were played by Hester Mallory, whose careful, intelligent and | thoroughly capable work must have been a joy to both singers. i Martin Mallory has a rich, strong voice and he sang with much power and sweetness. I particularly liked his singing of Clarke's “The Blind Plowman” and the first number of his_second group, “Out of the Dusk to You,” by Lee. This song brought out the fine quality of his voice, and the tones were mellow and clear. Stewart Dickson, a very young pian- ist, made his radio debut on this pro- gram. Although his program in- cluded selections by Brahms, Mendels- sobn and Liszt, a composition by God- | owsky called “Alt Wein,” and one by Percy Grainger, “Irish Tune of Coun- ty Derry,” were rather more interest- ing. These latter numbers were played with much individuality of in- terpretation and the Godowsky compo- | sition was very capably handled the while the artist brought out ably its beautiful waltz movements. M Lo was at some disadvan- | tage since she was suffering from a | vy cold and it was evident that at mes she breathed with much diffi . It was understood, however | that this was not readily discernible over the radio. Miss Locke i vels known in the JWest, where she was a equent soloist over Station KSL at Salt Lake City, Utalr. The possessor of a very fine voice, she will undoubt ¢ be popular here. The first num | ung by Miss Locke was Zanec- “Your Love Is All,” which she | ery pleasingly. Another song in | which the artist ve proof of her ability was Herman Lohr's “To My First Love.' | The final number of this interestin am was “Charmaine,” which ung by Miss Locke and Mr., M: This an _impromptu ngement, but the duet was nic done B.ID.P.

GENEVA, Octobe: 22 meeting of the L Disarmament Confer nce Preparatory Commission, on which the United States is represented, prol ibly will be convoked November 29, officials an- nounced last night. The program, however, will be re- stricted to the designation of a special committee to study the general pro. sram of security in relation to dis armament, according to the announce- ment. Present plans are that the se.urity committee will meet in January and the general disarmament committee in Avril for a second reading of the draft of the treaty on disarmament. It is expected that at the January gather- ing delegates of the great powers will endeavor to reach an agzreement on the outstanding difficulties, and hope is enterfained that the first gene disarmament conference my be con- voked in 1929, ‘The next gue of ions “The Silent Guardians of Your Health and Your Home"’ putchase your Hoover Vacuum Cleaner on Convenient - Monthly Payments ARTIFICIAL LIFE SEENBY CHEMIST Dr. Slossons Tells Psychol- ogists Sugar in Blood De- termine Courage.
