Smith, his Demo- cratic opponent in the recent nation- al campaign, as a distinguished Ameri- | can and a great public servant. | The President’s estimate of Mr. Emith was expressed in a letter read last night at the presentation of the Lactare medal, the annual award of the University of Notre Dame to the American lay Catholic “who in his par- ticular field of endeavor has achieved ' such distinction as reflects glory upon the Catholic faith.” Great Public Servant. The letter, addressed to Rev. Dr Charles L. 'O'Donnell, president of Notre Dame, said ‘I am glad you have given me the opportunity to join in congratulations to Gov. Smith for the honor which you confer upon so distinguished an Ameri- can and to the university for its public spirit in honoring so great a public servant.” The letter was read by Angus McDon- ald, vice president of the Southern Pa- cific Railway and former head of Notre Alumni Association. bute paid by the President to the man over whom he won the presi- dency is the first paid by Mr. Hoover since he entered the White House. During the campaign Mr. Hoover avoided any mention of Mr. Smith. They have met but once since the election. That was while both were on a holiday in Florida before Mr. Hoo- ver's inauguration.

MUSIC ‘ PIANISTS’ CLUB CONCERT. The seventh annual Spring series of | 10 piano recitals given by the Washing- ton Pianists’ Club was auspiciously inaugurated last Saturday night at the Columbia Heights Christian Church in Tecognition of National Music week. Leah Effenbach and Glenn Carow | were the featured stars of the evening, | each presenting a diversified program | of standard works. A large and appre- ciative audience, composed of music Jovers, teachers and students, rewarded the two voung musicians with generous use. s Eftenbach, presented by Arthur | Mavo, opened her recital with a “Pre- Jude and Fugue in D Major,” by Bach, followed by the first movement of Be thoven's “Sonata, Opus 31, No. 1 which were rendered with clean tech- | nique and fine phrasing. She then | played a charming group, composed of Mendelssohn’s_“Scherzo in E Minor,” | Schumann’s “Prophet Bird” and Cho pin’s ariations Brillantes.’ ‘The “Scherzo” was played with elfish speed and lightness, the dainty Schumann | number with requisite delicacy, and the seldom-heard Chopin “Variations” with facile technique and fine shades of | color. Miss Effenbach then concluded | her recital with a scholarly rendition of | the first movement of Mozart's “D | Minor Concerto,” accompanied on the | gecond piano by Mr. Mayo, in his usual efficient manner. | The second recital of the evening was | given by Glenn Carow, the young tal- | | by Notre Dame. ’s, the Assoclated Press Trains Will Carry Radio Phone Sets | For Passenger Use | Two-Way Conversation Is: Successfully Carried on {in Canadian Experiment. | TORONTO. May 6.—The feasibility of two-way telephone conversation be- tween a moving train and a stationary point has been demonstrated on !h!i Canadian National Railway. Service is to be made availabie shortly for pas- sengers on trains betwcen Chicago and Toronto. A two-hour conservation was main- tained between a train speeding north- ward through Ontario at 40 miles an hour and the main offices of the road at Toronto yesterday. Telegraph wires along the railroad | right of way are used by the system, which has been developed under direct- tion of J. C. Burkholder of the Bell Telephone Laboratories at Newark, N.J. Radio waves carry the voice of the | speaker in the railway car to the wires by which the impulses are transmitted to the receiving point. The test was begun by W. D. Robb, vice president in charge of the Canadian National Railway telegraph and tele- phone service. He picked up an ordinary telephone instrument and asked the operator for Mr. Barber, general man- ager of the Canadian National Tele- graphs. The connection was made | promptly. Rallroad officials conversed until the test had consumed two hours. Telephone service for use of pas- sengers will be installed as soon as pos- sible on fast trains between Chicago and stem is operative up to 150 as long as the telegraph wires are not more than 200 feet from the | track. Mr. Robb said a single wire | would be stretched through tunnels and in_other places where the telegraph | wires were not available. PARLEY ADOPTS UNIFORM BRAILLE MUSIC CODE By the Associated Pres: .
