Again there was a capacity audi- ence. The conductor was Fritz Reiner, leader of the Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra. The music, in direct con- trast to the first program, which had included the works of only classicists— Beethoven, Mozart and Johann Chris- tian Bach—was almost entirely by mod- ern composers and a decidedly enter- taining and colorful program it was. The only concession to the older | schools was Johann Sebastian Bach's two chorale preludes—“Schmucke dich, O liebe Seele” and “Komm, Gott, Schopfer, heiliger Geist.” Even so, these ! were given as arranged for orchestra by that extreme musical individuality of the present day—Arnold Schoenberg of d ward, Dorothy | Vienna.

LEADERS IN PARLEY ON CHURCH MERGER Representatives of Methodist Epis- copal and Presbyterian Denomi- nations Confer in Pittsburgh. By the Associated Press. PITTSBURGH, January 30.—Over- tures of the Methodist Episcopal Church of America looking toward a merger with the Presbyterian Church in the United States of America drew leaders of both denominations to Pittsburgh today. Bishop Herbert Welsh, Pittsburgh, headed representatives of the Meth- odist Episcopal Church. The Presb) terian Church was represented by me: bers of the general assembly’s depart- ment of church co-operation and union, of which Dr. J. Ross Stevenson, Prince- ton, N. J, is chairman. The Pittsburgh conference was de- cided upon after receipt at the Pres- byterian General Assembly at Tulsa, Okla., last May by Bishop Edwin H. Hughes of a definite request by lead- ‘ers of the Methodist Episcopal Church for such a merger. Presbyterian leaders from New York, Chicago, Columbus, Detroit, Los An- geles, St. Paul, Baltimore, Nashville and Marshall, Mo., are on the commit- tee representing the church’s general assembly. Dr. Lewis Seymour Mudge, Philadelphia, stated clerk of the Pres- byterian General Assembly, also was expected to attend. . Bishop F. D. Leete, Omaha, was mong Methodist Episcopal Church of- ‘ficials who arrived yesterday.

Bach chorales’ construction. —‘There reports | were many who showed _enthusiasm | over the Bach works yesterday. To the fying. That buoyancy that is essentially a quality of the great Bach seemed not quite secured, always slipping just around the corner away from the listen- er instead of meeting his ear squarely with that definite frankness and ful- fiilment of his expectancy that has real completeness. An_American, Daniel Gregory Mason, was honored with first place on yes- terday's program. The work was a festival overture, entitled “Chanticleer.” It had its moments of humor and charm, yet withal seemed much ado about very small matter. There was a tendency to overelaboration of a theme that had simplicity and limitation of elasticity. The Respighi suite for small orches- tra which followed, entitled “The Birds,” was filled with amusing clever- erness in reproducing the characteristic | noises or songs of the particular feathered folk so honored. There was the gurgling dove whose song rippled pleasing after the prelude: then follow- ed the businesslike clucking of the gossipy hen, the very individual plain- tive song of the romantic nightingale, and, lastly, the pertly persistent call of the cuckoo, that bird whose dual-noted melody has supplied more t one great composer with the b marvelous work! Signor Respighi in this composition was at all time: - ful in keeping his various fowls always in the picture, yet never monotonous and fascinatingly decked out in ap- propriate and original _contrapuntal settings. It is a delightful lighter work. Complete contrast was offered in the for a | barbaric contents of the Scythian suite, “Ala and Lolliy,” written by the Rus- sian modernist, Sergei Prokofieff. The work is frankly programmatic and has the descriptive charm of ballet music. The listener is given the feeling that the composer, while not reaching great inspirational heights in this work, has imbued it with originality and excellent discrimination in building gradually toward the blazing climax of his finale. The program was closed with the lovely impressionistic suite of Jacques Ibert, “Escales,” which was first heard in W ington almost exactly two years ago, when the Minneapolis Symphony Orchestra presented it. Mr. Reiner's ading was perhaps a little more subtly colorful than Mr. Verbrugghen's or per- haps it was because the New York aggregation is of such uniformly fin- ished musicians that the intricate phrases of this delicate music seemd more polished than at the earlier hear- ing here. The oboe solo in the second movement was beautifully done and the work as a whole left an impression that it would be welcome if it might be given more frequently in Washington. ‘Throughout the afternoon Mr. Reiner seemed in admirable mood and con- ducted with a vigorous concentration that won warm appreciation from the entire audicnce.—H. F. THE GORDON STRING QUARTET. The Gordon String Quartet and Ru- dolph Reuter, pianist, came riding out of the West to give an interesting pro- gram in the chamber music auditorium of the Library of Congress last night. The Chicago quartet, which is de: cidedly one of the best American groups, if not perhaps the best, is composed of Jacques Gordon, first violin; Walter Hancock, second violin; Clarence Evans, viola, and Richard Wagner, violoncello. A capacity audience listened to the program, showing polite applause for the Leo Sowerby modern quartet, pro- longed applause for Carl Engel’s “Trip- tych for Violin and Piano,” and spon- taneous, fully enthusiastic applause for Joseph Haydn's “Quartet in F Major,” which closed the program with the rousing style and melodious content that feature the works of this writer, who is credited with establishing the string quartet form as the highest art. The Sowerby quartet showed clever competence in the writing, but seemed a bit bare of melodious inspiration and two days of sustaining a fractured rib in an accident in icy Chicago streets, is to be especinily commended.

No truly ani-knock motor fuel is being sold except at a premium Eveny sororsr s famifiar with the "knock” or “ping” which comes in a gasoline motor under strain. This “knock” is, strictly speaking, a fuel standardized' methods of measuring, many fuek oaly partially se. “knock,” and is noticeable particularly in me tors with high compression and motors fouled with carbon. 8ome gasolines “knock” more than others. But all gasolines have a tendency to “knock” as the compression is raised in the motor. The majority of cars today are built to operate satisfactorily ona gasoline like*‘Standard,’that is scientifically refined and properly proportioned. However, there is an extra degree of driving satisfaction in using an “anti-knock” fuel, especially in a high compression motor, or in one that is carbonized from long usage. But such a fuel must be a genuine “anti-knock” fuel, and no such fuels are being sold, except at a slight advance over the price of gasoline. In s research laboratories, the Standard Ofl Company of New Jersey has developed a method of rating the “knock”’ of fuels. These scientific tests show conclusively that only a few moter fuels are genuinely “‘anti-knock.” Of these genuine “anti-knock’ fuels, the very best is ESSO, rightly called “the Giant Power Fuel.” It is made and sold by the Standard O# Company of New Jersey. We guarantee E8SO to be a genuine ““anti-knock” fuel, with other qualities which make it, in our, opinion, the best motor fuel obtainable anmizere at any price. Thousands of motorists are now ustng RSSO, finding that while they pay slightly more per gallon for this fuel, they get an extra engine performance never before experienced. Thisisobvious, since genuine‘‘anti-knock’’ fuels are compounds of high grade gasoline with other products, which eliminate the “knocking” tendencies of the gasoline, and such products cost more to make. Try ESSO once and experience the extra driv- ing satisfaction it gives. For sale everywhere at the Silver ESSO Pumps with the ESSO Globes. There is no governmental standard against which the “anti-knock” quality of fuels can be measured. As a result, and through lack of STANDARD ' OIL TRADE MARK.
