CITIZENS ARE TOLD OF JUNIOR SCHOOL Principal Explains System for Takoma Park As- sociation. L. J. Cantrell, principal of the new Paul Junior High School at Brightwood, Was a speaker at a meeting of the Citi- zens’ Association of Takoma, D. C., held last night. He explained the place of the junior high school in the present- day educational system. Following the presentation of a ques- tlonnaire by a group of parents of Ta- koma children attending the new junicr high school, many of them in the ac- | celerated classes, he explained in de- | tail the querys in the communication. The paper sikted that there was every desire to co-operate with the school to the fullest extent, and that they rc- served judgment in view of the unset- tled condition of the new building. Some of the questions which he ex- plained related to the strict and un-, expected discipline of the children and | the necessity for the detaining after 3 o'clock of the entire classes. It was pointed out that this disrupted, in many instances, the after-school schedule of the parents. The parents felt that while they did not object to the pun- ishment of the guilty, the guiltless ahould not be made to suffer with them. Another speaker of the evening was Miss Elizabeth O'Hara, principal of the Takoma School, who urged co-operétion | @nd assistance on the part of the parents, pledging her best in the school Worl Br. D. N. Shoemaker, president of We assoclation, spoke briefly on the subject of organizations and the work ~='hich certain ones were accomplishing in the Takoma Park section. He ex- pressed the thought that these indi- vidual organizations were each repre- senting their seotions, referring to that section of Takoma Park on the Mary- land side in Montgomery County and in Prince Georges County, and that, as they did not overlap in their work, they should continue to function in their Tespective sections. MUSIC THE STRADIVARIUS QUARTET. A new organization made its local debut yesterday when the Stradivarius String Quartet gave a program in the chamber music auditorium of the Eliza- beth Sprague Coolidge Foundation the Library of Congress yesterday after- { noon. A capacity audience received the performance of this quartet with ‘warm applause. Late last Spring. when the famous Flonzaleys were closing their instru- ment cases after their “positively final” farewell tour, Alfred Pochon, second violinist of that group, announced the formation of a new quartet—the Stradivarius String artet. ‘The personnel includes three mu- sicians very well known here in ap- pearance th other chamber” music organizations. The least familiar mem- ber was Gerald Warburg, violoncellist, who is the son of the multi-millionaire. Young Mr. Warburg showed an amaz- 4ng command both of artistic expression and a-taient richly developed for so young & musician. He played the beautiful “Vaslin” °cello made by the t_Cremona maker of instruments in 1725. It is said to have the valua- tion of about $40,000. ‘The first violinist of the group is ‘Wolfe Wolfinsohn, formerly heard here frequently as first viclinist .of Lenox String Quartet. Mr. Wolfinsohn plays the mellow-toned “Titian" violin which Stradivari made in 1715. He sccms to have gained considerably in colorful interpretation and to have complete understanding of all the pos- sibilities of this beautiful instrument. | Mr. Pochon, who plays second violin, is obviously the authoritative member of the group from point of view of experi- ence and thorough knowledge of the entire fleld of chamber music. His in- strument, the “Spanish” violin which Stradivari is said w0 have made in 1723 was a fitt] companion for the “Titian.” Nicholas Moldavan, viola player, was heard here first in that chair with the Lenox Quartet and, later, with the Flonzaleys. The remarkable thing about these Tour musicians playing four of the most valuable stringed instruments in ex- istence is the fine tonal co-ordinstion that has been achieved within less than & year of playing together. Also, each member seems to bring out the beauties of his particular instrument. The opening number yesterday was Beethoven's “String Quartet in P major, 18, No. 1.” It seemed that as the yers progressed one movement 1o the next they also increased in the completeness of their ensemble balance and in interpretation. Mr. Wolfinsohn's violin frequently sang eloguently above the rest, but there were moments, espe- cially the duet passage, for first violin and viola, with the other two instru- ments as tonal background, in the third movement when the blended tone was delightful. The players seemed to zive even more beauty to the last two move- ments of Brahms' “String Quart:t in C minor, opus 51, No. 1,” which closed the program. A well-chosen middle number was the p of three sketches from Moussorg- s “Picture at an Exhibition,” ed for string quartet by Mr. Po- Particularly pleasing was the using sketch entitied “Market Gos- .” The mysterious and romantic qiglities of “An Old Castle” also were ch§rmingly brought out. mdnts performed by a quartet that wil' ! defprve a place in the front rank of increasing number of chamber ic quartets, HP Channel “Swimmer” Weds Trainer.

WEST END CITIZENS HEAR ALLEN TALK Crosby Appointment Discuss- | ed, but No Action Is Taken by Association. Although applauding a speech by Robert J. Allen, former policeman, com- mending the proposed appointment of Maj. Gen. Herbert Crosby as a Dis- trict Commissioner, the West End Citi- in the hall of the Assoclation of Old- | est Inhabitants, refrained from any formal indication of their approval or | disapproval. The appointment was d'scusced by | several individual members of the asso- ciation, many of them indicating their | approval. The principal objections | rested on the technical ground of Gen Crosby's non-residence in the District. | Jaraes F. Du Hamel of the Associa- tion of Oldest Inhabitants made a | short address, touching on many points of historical interest in Wasnington. Additional appropriations for comple- | ticn of the Western Market were urged by Grover Ayers, who pointed out that ths market's appearance should be im- proved as much as possible because of its importance to the community. Frank Van Sant presided at the meeting. Theaters Damaged by Bombs. GRAND RAPIDS, Mich., February 18 (#)—The Family and Liberty Theaters | were damaged here Sunday by bombs. No one was injured.

Col. Ladue outlined the development of Washington’s street plan with em- phasis on the improvements begun by Gov. Shepherd and on the adoption in | 1893 of the plan for a permanent htlh-l way system. He discussed also the high paving standards now in force locally; the assessment of paving and repaving costs, and future plans for widening certain streets after public hearings. Discussing a recent survey of all Dis- trict streets, Capt. Whitehurst said that there are 726 miles of highways in the | District, about 580 miles of which are | improved and 150 miles unimproved. He called attention to the need for | co-ordination of street paving plans with the street openings made necessary by public utility services.

By the Assocfated Press. \NEWARK, N. J, February 18.—| Nothing daunted by the crash which ended his first attempt to fiy a glider, Gov. John H. Trumbull of Connecticut | was looking forward today to another try at piloting a motorless plane. Although he appeared badly shaken and | ands, Gov. Trumbull refused medical | attention after the mishap. He was strapped in the seat of the glider and the towing car was started. | The sudden jolt as the glider shot up | to an elevation of 25 feet threw his feet from the rudder bar. Then as the plane nosed downward he fell forward against the control stick. tipping the nose of the glider at a stil more acute angle. The plane crashed onto the frozen runway, a tangle of torn wing fabric and splintered framework. Gov. Trumbull has been a licensed pliot since December, 1927, although | his flying career began in 1925, when he | piloted a plane over his own capital. MRS.
