B—14 'EINSTEIN PLEASED WITH U.S. INTEREST Learns America No Longer Looks Upon Wealth and Power as Highest Good. By the Associated Press. PASADENA, Calif, February 24— Fascinating and valuable as has been the information in experimental physics and astronomy he has received from sclentists here, the most interesting Jesson Albert Einstein has learned is the great growth in American public in- terest in science. That was the keynote of his impres- sions disclosed in & round of public re- ceptions marking the last week of his two months’ visit in California. Ein- stein said he had learned America no longer looked upon material wealth and power as the highest good. More gratifying than the observations _supporting mental data that help him in his un! egl fleld theory, he says, is the revel tion ‘how American men of practica achievement prize the domain of know edge. sclentific Place Fortunes at Service, Particularly interesting, he says, is his observation that so many have placed a considerable part of their for- tunes and of their energies at the serv- fce of sclentific enterprise. And he expresses at each function appreciation of the fact that the fostering of science by the American people does not stop at the national boundaries. He was the guest of honor of Pasa dcna at a luncheon today following public civic demonstration yesterday at | = the Los Angeles City Hall and a ban- quet of the Los Angeles Chamber of Commerce. Confers With Dr. Smith, His lessons, however, are not all set aside by the receptions, for he set aside a part of today to seek more informa- tlon to fit In with his unified fleld theory. A research conference with Dr. Sinclair Smith, astrophysicist of the Carnegie Institution of Washington Mount Wilson Laboratory, as the lec- turer, was arranged. Dr. Smith is an authority on the use of thermocouples in the measurement of star light. The subject was the relation between the width of spectral lines and length of wave trains dealing with experimental data in which Einstein is interested in his effort to reconcile classical me- chanics and the quantum theory. Thursday morning he will aid in the dedication of a new building at the Pas- adena Junior College. He leaves mdly‘ for New York. JUDGE RAPS MOTHERS FOR CHILD DELINQUENCY | Assuming n,‘,F;th' Duties and Bhirking of Own Largely Blamed for “Flaming” Youth. By the Associated Press. | CHICAGO, February 24.—The Na- fional Praternal Congress was told yes- | terday that there is much juvenile de- Jnquency because “to> many mothers have assumed the duties of fathers, shirking their own.” The speaker was Judge Francis B. Allegretti of the Chicago Eoys' Court. “Notwithstanding woman's equality | with man in the present scheme of things,” he said, “father is still head of the family, or should be. It is the | mother’s duty to inculcate character in their children. The unbalancing of these dutles is responsible for so-called flaming youth Music and Musicians Reviews and News of Capita]'a Prognms. A Caj la Chorus Gives Interesting Program.

Their work is par- ticularly good in precision and clearness of attack, the shading and gradation of tone, legato, and the finish of their phr: tion, too, was clear and the chorus has a splendid body of tone, though the sopranos and tenors lack color in the high tones, which were, at times, thin. Mrs. Stahl has accomplished much with the chorus, for the singing of one number unaccompanied is diffi- cult for a soloist and the hazard is that much greater for 55 singers to give an entire program of part songs without accompaniment, and remain in tune.

Among the particularly interesting compositions, ranging from Pales- trina and Bach to one or two of the more modern composers, was “Jesus, the Very Thought of Thee,” written by Maud Sewall of Washing- ton. It is a graceful and singable chorus, well harmonized, and one in which the music is appropriate to the words. K.

Opening with a skit depicting the evils of street environment, it swung along in a commendable style, hav- ing but few flaws, which were noticeable. Charles M. Fyfe, intendent of the Boys' Club production manager, merits credit for the way he handled the enter- tainment. ‘The evening featured the Carroll sisters and Margaret Carroll, young acrobatic danseuses, pupils of Marion O’Connor and Ann Mitchell: Robert McKenny, xylophonist, and little Dot M:yerhofler, in a song and dance act. The greater part of the entertain- ment, however, was presented by young members of the Boys' Club. Most amusing was “The Dempsey- Tunney Fight in Miniature” (fea- turing the memorable long count), which was really done in miniature. Two tiny chaps, barely able to sup- port the large boxing gloves they wore, went at it tooth and nail until it occurred to them that they were on the stage and were supposed to act. Ranging from a tumbling team, in which the boys did some remarkable diving over human obstacles, to an oratorical delivery of Mark Antony's funeral address, given by Dave Wolfe, the program may have seemed & bit odd, but it was put over in great style. Others who did their share toward making the evening a success were the Elks' Boys' Band, who played vigorously; the Boys' Club Orches- tra, a harmonica band, and the Boy Scouts of Troop 85, who acted as ushers.
