News of the Music World Continued from Twentieth Page here before; that Gigli will be among those present, and that the new French tenor, Thill, will be another cause for excitement. All of which should make opera enthusiasts roll up theéir sleeves and dig deep into the old stocking for the small fortun= necessary to be witness to such imminent brilliance. T the final “Salcn Sutro” of the season, on February 27, at the Carlton Hotel, at 4 o’clock, Dr. Howard Hanson will present ex- tracts from his works, witla explanatory remarks. In 1921 Dr. Hanson was awarded the Rome Prize in Composition. He was in Italy from 1921 to 1924. In 1924 he returned to the United States to become director of the Eastman Schocl of Music of the University of Rochester, which position he still holds. He is president of the Music Teachers’ National As- soclation, chairman of the Commission on Cur- ricula of the National Association of Schools of Music, member of Committee on Ap- pointments, American Academy in Rome, and has had conferied upon him the honorary degree of doctor of music by Northwestern and Syracuse Universities.

This will be followed by musizal numbers including ‘“Invocation to the Sun,” “By Weeping Waters,” an old tribal mourning song; “Song of the Mesa,” a Hopi lullaby; “Corn-grinding Chant,” a thanksgiving ceremony, and many tribal songs, some of them accompanied by the box drum, a native musical instrument.

W ar on Hopper Insect The beet leaf hopper is another of those insect pests which, under favorable conditions, comes in a swarm now and then to do tremen- dous damage to the crops of the country. The hopper has been the subjcct of an intense study by the Department of Agriculture because of the loss it brings to the sugar beet raiser. The re- sult of the survey has bcen to disclose much concern in the life of the hopper, but, so far as preventive measures are concerned, nothing has been worked out. The best the department can do is to protect the farmer against heavy loss by warning him in advance of heavy in- festations, in order that he may turn to some other crop for a season. “The hopper, which is a very tiny insect, spreads the virus of the curly-top disease, which destroys the beets. It seems to pass through three generations a year, but never really hiber- nates, as do many of the other insects so damag- ing to crops. The hopper must have food the year round, and it must have the food in liquid form. Therefore succulent plants are vital to its existence. Because of the hazards which nature herself raises to keep the hopper down, it takes little in the way of unfavorable weather to curb its num- bers drastically. A dry Spring which keeps the Spring plants from maturing means that the Summer plants will be slow and the Fall plants may not even germinate. If this be true the lot of the hopper is hard indeed. On the other hand, in case of favorable weather, the Spring generation of hoppers thrives and brings on a myriad in Summer time. The favorite Winter host plant is found in the 1931. “HRE 122.

Notes of Art and Artists Continued from Nineteenth Page the librarian of Congress, of a boy, Theodore Dwight Woolsey. Miss Putnam studied suc- cessively under Bela Pratt, James Earle Fraser and Charles Grafly and has done work of very great distinction. Her portrait of Pablo Casals, the Spanish cellist, is a masterly production and is fortunately included in the permanent collection of the Hispanic Museum. Her foun- tain of a young elf astride a sea horse is deservedly popular—gay and charming. She now adds to her list of fine works this strong, significant portrait typifying boyhood. Miss Putnam received the Helen Foster Barnett prize of the National Academy of Design in 1922, the Widener medal at the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts in 1923 and the Avery prize at the New York Architectural League in 1924. THE Art Promoters’ Club of Washington is giving a dinner dance and art exhibition tomorrow evening, February 23, at the Carlton Hotel. This is an interesting combination of gayety and art which ought to appeal to many. ANNOUNCEMENT is made by the Institute of International Education that, in co-oper= ation with the College Art Association, a lim- to Save Sugar Beels. desert regions near the beet sugar areas of Idaho, It is an introduced weed cest, the Rus- sian thistle. Just how far the hopper can travel in a season has not been determined, but the scientists of the department are on its trail and sooner or later adequate control measures will be worked out in all probability just as they have for many of the other pests which threat- ened at one time to make so much headway in the country. Polished and Brown Rice. THE demand for polished rice far exceeds that for brown rice in this country. Dur- ing 1929, nearly 1,000,000,000 pounds of rice were handled by the rice interests in the United States. Of this vast amount handled as whole grain, only 20,000,000 pounds were sold as brown rice.

THE following concerts by the United States Marine Band and Orchestra are scheduled for the coming week: Monday, at 4 p.m., band concert; Wednesday, at 8 p.m., symphony con- cert; Friday, at 3 p.m, orchestra concert.

Further information in regard to these scholarships can be obtained from the Institute of International Education, 2 West Forty-fifth street, New York, N. Y.
