MOUNTAIN NURSING SERVICE DESCRIBED Mrs. Mary Breckenridge, * Founder, Gives lllustrated Lecture Here. The work of the Frontier Nursing | Service in the Kentucky mountain dis- tricts was described yesterday by Mrs. Mary Breckenridge, founder and volun- teer director of the organization, in an Rllustrated lecture at the Sulgrave Club. Mrs. Breckenridge is a sister of Brig. Gen, James Carson Breckenridge, U. S. M. C, and a granddaughter of John . Breckenridge, Vice President of the United States in the Buchanan admin- istration. The lecture was sponsorcd by the Washington committee of the service. Mrs. Cary T. Grayson pre- sided. Covers 700 Square Miles. Mrs. Breckenridge sald the service now covers nine nursing centers, in- cluding 700 square miles, has 30 nurses, @ medical director, an 18-bed hospital, & dentist during the Summer months, a full-time social service worker, a statistician and a volunteer courier service. The speaker produced statistics show- ing that 1.000 infants were born with- out the death of a single mother as a direct result of childbirth. She said there were one-third less stillbirths than the average for the general pop- ulation of the United States and one- | third fewer infant deaths within one month after birth than in the general white population of Kentucky. Benefit Cruise Planned. 'The service also has conducted an Intensive study and war against hook- worm, she stated. It has given more than 46,000 inoculations against ty- oid, smallpox, diphtheria and other eases.

Miksa Merson, Pianist, Give Splendid Recital. SUCCESSFUL recital was given by Miksa Merson, pianist, last night at the Textile Museum before a large and interested audi- ence. Mr. Merson’s program was such as to balance one mood against another, providing always sufficient melody to permit of relaxed enjoy- ment of \\hlt he could do with it. Mr. Merson’s ability to handle the melodic strains so that not an iota of their meaning was lost was the salient feature of his playing. It desétves special commendation, for it proves how seriously contemplative is his work and how true is his understanding of the importance of the idea to be expressed rather than the outward technical display. His purely mechanical equipment is so ample and sure that he can afford to ignore it and give entire con- centration to the careful working out of phrase within phrase to gain the interpretation he is seeking. ‘The poetry that is not difficult to bring out in Schumann or Chopin, Mr. Merson also found in the Bach- Busoni “Organ Toccata,” and the warmth and sonority he put into it humanized it without blurring the rippling quality of tone or the es- sential dignity of the composition. Mr. Merson plays with a refined tone that avoids any forcing, but unfortunately the background of sonority that he gave in Bach was not sustained throughout the pro- gram. The lack of really reaching the deeper substance of the tone was disturbing to a certain degree in most of the selections with the ex- ception of the Chopin “B Minor Sonata.” In this he seemed to em- body the spirit of Chopin and he in- terpreted it with restrain and sensi- tive feeling. The allegro maestoso was a magnificent example of well developed dynamics, brought about by expert pedalling and rounded tone. The audience interrupted with applause and there was more at_the end of the dashing firlale. Morzart’s charming “Rondo in A Minor” and Schumann’s “Toccata™ were placed together and gave op- portunity for the contrast of fine singing tone and fleet, sure technic of which Mr. Merson is capable. His own “Ballade,” a composition in which the musical content is stronger than its form, was the first of a group that comprised “La Plus que Lente,” waltz of Debussy, and the “Navarra” of Albeniz. One of the finest numbers on the program was Liszt's “Nocturne No. 1,” which Mr. Merson played in an especially expressive-way. It was un- fortunate that he chose the “Rhapso- die Espagnole” for the climax of his program, for this is one of the least interesting of Liszt's compositions. Mr. Merson might have made it more effective had he played it with more fire and volume, but the re- straint he seemed to have imposed on himself last evening as to quan- Year... ry before INVENTORY tity of tone took away any brilliant effect that might have been made with the rhapsodie. The audience was cordially re- spen.slve and appreciative of his fine he was recalled un!ll he ebestod,” from “Tristan as encore. A E. Felian Garzia In Arts Club Recital. ONE of the mot interesting and colorful piano recitals of the sea- son tcok place at the Arts Club lat night, when Felian Garzia, well known pianist of this city and a major recitalist in his own right, gave a concert before a large and appreciative audience. Mr. Garzia devoted his program strictly to Becthoven, Chopin, Debussy and Liszt. From this classic_album he choe such works as Beethoven's sonata “Appassioneta,” two preludes and a barcarolle by Chopin, the “Jardins sous la P.uie” by Debussy, to which he gave especial grace, and as a finale the Liszt “Eleventh Rhapsodie.” Mr. Garzia’s playing ‘was warmly applauded. ‘Young People’s Concert At High School Tomerrow. MAGINATION and color, potent factors in the composition of music, will be explained and illus- trated by Hans Kindler, conductor of the National Symphony Orches- tra, at th> young peopie’s concert to be given in Central High School auditorium tomorrow mcrning at 11 o'clock. Dr. Kindler has built his program around the theme “Symphonic and Other Music.” It will include “Fifth Symphony,” first movement (Schu- bert); “Valse Triste” (Sibelius): “The Cave of the Mountain King"” (Grieg): songs, “Charlie Is My Darling” and “Santa Lucia,” and “Capriccio Espagnol” (Rimsky-Kor- sakoff). The large number of out-of-town school children planning to attend tomorrcw's concert will be aug- mented by & group from the Alex- andria high schools under the leader- ship of Mrs. A, H. Thomas. University Club Presents Two Artists in Recital. THE Entertainment Committee of the University Club presented other of its interesting concerts at the club house last evening. The artists were Marjorie Lowe, soprano, and Minna Niemann, pianist. Miss Lowe was accompanied by Gertrude Smallwood Mockbee. Miss Lowe assembled a number of seldom heard songs of deep artistic value and she proved herself again a sincere and intelligent singer with a gift for the expression of the best in song literature. It is a pleasure to find an artist, who not only knows of the possibility of vocal variety to be added to the program by these songs, but has sufficient ‘technical Read every item below . . . youw'll find them more interest- the front page mews!

Schubert’s ‘‘Das Wandern,” “Wohin” and “Ungeduld” were Miss Lowe's opening numbers and in the same group she inciuded, by special request, the charming “Wiener Walzer,” by Bernatsky. Her second group was made especialiy interest- ing by the opportunity offered to hear for the first time in Washing- ton Nielson’s “Sommer Regen” and “En Gift er Elskov,” by Lange Muel- ler. The very beautiful “Schnee,” by Sigurd Lie, and Grieg's “Ich Liebe Dich” were the more familiar num- bers. Her final group had the tragic “Why” of Tschaikovsky offset by the amusing “Nex’ Time I Senda Valen- tine,” by Kellog, and Leomi's “Tal- Iyho.” Mrs. Mockboe was the proper accompanist to assist Miss Lowe in her artistic interpretations.
