The striking part of this toll was the fact that none of the deaths occurred in a major disaster; that is, one in which five or more lost their lives. Tt is the little negligent act upon the part of the miner or his co-workers or some over- sight in a safety device that leads to the minor accidents that take a life here and there but run up such a huge toll annually. - Q .1 1 ‘x-..fi...-fl ~ \ B Ak . .

Continued from Nineteenth Page of that lingering beat, and had started his attack upon it. He is a somber, reserved direc- tor. His gestuies are turned in upon them- selves, held close rather than squandered. He is the absolute antithesis of the equally tall, extremely capable Furtwangler, who combines with his great natural gifts an amount of capering and leaping which almost unbalances the auditorium. Strauss must have been tempted to adopt some such method against his supernumer- aries, but he did not. He dominated by calm- ness. He barely accentuated his baton stroke. He rarely glanced at the recalcitrant group standing together on one side of the stage. Yet the orchestra felt his mood and followed him. The audience felt it and swayed forward in their seats. The rebels felt it and desisted. Imperceptibly, every one in the great opera house had been enlisted in the effort of will which the director made to pull his chorus into line. Almost before the incident had been realized it was over. The mob was singing in time. Richard Strauss had won. “How did you do it?” I asked later. “Precision!” he replied. Strauss is like the Russian, Stravinsky, in that he insists upon the absolute, literal, mathe- matical reading of his scores. “I demand precision in the rendering of my own works and try to achieve it in my own interpretation of others.” Precision offers the “leitmotif” of Strauss’ many anecdotes about his early patron, Bulow. “Most conductors cannot read partitions,” the old Wagnerian used to exclaim, “Crescendo means pianissimo, diminuendo means fortis- simo.” Strauss is a thorough German in his pedan- tism. He is a thorough German in everything. He toiled on Brahms and Bach and Beethoven with his father. Although he studied Lisst and Berlioz as well as Wagner while under Bulow and Ritter, it is significant to remember that 22 Adam’s wife. Marchers 24 Afternoon Peel. functions Worries. 26 German city.

I have learned from the French and from the Italians, too. Music is a province largely in- ternational. Yet, of course, it is true that my early ‘Aus Italien,’ in spite of its name, is not Italian at all. It is simply a German visitor’'s impression of the southland.” Indeed, throughout his work, where he has_ been touched from beyond the frontier, he has reacted only so far as to give a German impression of the influence. It is not safe to take Strauss too literally when, in the face of his rigorous schooling and early tutelage, his natural disposition and his daily habits, he claims to be an internationalist. Another Fruit Fly Invader T'S just one pest after another in the never- ending war between agricultural experts and the enemies of various crops of the country. Having taken emphatic and drastic steps toward the eradication of the Mediterranean fruit fly, and having battled, to a large extent unsuccessfully, against the Mexican bean beetle, the Japanese green beetle and other such pests, along comes the dismaying news that another invader, the Mexican fruit fly, is just on the verge of making its way across the Rio Grande into the fruit belt of Southwestern States. Maggots of this fruit fly were discovered in two importations of plums apparently from the State of Sinaloa, in Mexico. This State has heretofore been a sort of neutral zone of de- fense between infested areas and the American fruit belt, but it is feared now that, despite quarantine steps carried on by the Mexican authorities, the fly has made its way into the protective zone. The fly has twice made its way into the United States, but in both cases, through the co-operation of the Mexican authorities, it was wiped out. The simple method of prevenung any of the host fruits attacked by the fly to ripen was employed and the fly was exterminated. The Mexicans carried on the same activities on their side of the border, with the result that the outbreaks were suppressed.
