HENRY VAN DYKE, AT 75, STILL ENJOYS TROUT FISHING Princeton Professor Also De- clines to Abandon His Sweet-Tasting Pipe. Author of Many Books Hopes to Write Something New of Benefit to World. By the Associated Press. PRINCETON, N. J., November 11.— Dr. Henry Van Dyke, finding himself at the age of 75 years in “the Indian | Summer of his life,” can still enjoy “a sweet-tasting pi and can still | “hook and play and land a salmon or | a trout.” “I am not an optimist,” said Prince- professor emeritus on his birth- y at his home in Avalon— “there's too much evil in the worlk and in me. Nor am I a pessimist— there's too much good in the world and in God. Still Enjoys Music. “I am rather, I suppose, a meliorist, believing God wills to make the world better, trying to do my bit to help, and wishing it were more. At 75 a man can't expect many more joyful surprises. But I can still enjoy music and books and good talk.” Dr. Van Dyke is hopeful of writing “something which has not been said.” He was eager to praise the work of Struthers Burth, Ernest Poole and James Boyd, all of whom studled un der him at the university. “I am more proud of them than of what I have done,” he said. *‘They all deal with modern themes, but not one of them has broken the old tradi- tion of clean thinking and decent writing. The trouble with the smart Aleck school of writers and talkers to- el DR. HENRY VAN DYKE. day is that they demand too much of give enough of it.

BALTIMORE, Md., November 11.— Declaring his court was all that stood “between the welfare of the commi- nity and activities of that part of the underworld, which fattens upon manu- facture and sale of liquors” Federal Judge Morris A, Soper yesterday criticised officials of the State of Maryland for declining to permit police to assist in enforcing the Volstead act. The criticism was made from the bench in United States Court, during rebuke of James A. McCarthy, an ot torney, who told a jury that “the peo- ple of Maryland do not believe in the Volstead law anyway.” The defend- ant was fined $150 in that case and McCarthy was ordered to appear for possible contempt proceedings because of this and other statements. The lawyer's apology_was accepted, after Judge Soper told him that personal opinion conferred no right to ignore the law. Judge Soper said one consideration for the attorney was that “in this community State officials not only de- cline to permit the police to assist the prosecution of this law, but they also decline to enforce the law of the State of Maryland, which is still in effect.” This reference was to State laws regu- lating liquor traffic, which were not re- pealed at adoption of the Volstead act.

This was the second bearing during the past week of this lecture-recital, it having been given before the members of the Twentieth Century Club Tuesday morning.

New York, who has a marked flair for the interpretative demands of these modern composers, played 27 compositions that ran the whole «amut of human emotions in the sug- gestion of moods and played them with obvious sincerity and sympathy. If the “Ninth Sonata,” which ended the program, did not seem to have much really musical message for one hearer at least. it probably spoke elo tuent volumes to others present, for Seriabin’s muslc, as given in_their many sketchy excerpts of his shorter Mrs. Miller and Mrs. Van Pelt were charming, enthusiastic expounders on the subject.
