VOICES MADE PART OF ORCHESTRATION N. B. C. Has Chorus of 26i Singing Instrumental Parts From Score. RANK BLACK, N. B. C. musical director, has formulated a new element in the chemistry of | music—the use of the human voice as an orchestral instru- ment. | In “The Pause That Refreshes on | the Air” Black has combined an | orchestra of 65 pieces and a chorus | of 26 voices in one ensemble with the | Vvocalists singing instrumental parts | s well as words to songs. “I have always contended,” Black | declared, “that there has been one | instrument missing in the orchestra | as we know it—the human voice. The | really complete orchestra should con- | tain actual human voices, not just singers, but voices used as instruments with special parts written for them to make them an integral part of the orchestra itself.” | Every note has to be specially ar- ranged and it requires the services of eight copyists to get the score into shape. In each of the 15 minute halves of the program there are sev- eral different melodies which flow | from one into the other without | pause for announcement. As Black explains it: “By weaving the introduction of one song into the finale of another, we produce a musi- cal fabric much in the manner of a rhapsody but built on the familiar popular tunes of the day.” * ok % ok UST added to the N.

But Dick and Elinor Hixon's nerves were on edge. Seven o'clock had rolled around too soon for them.

A friend of Osborne’s, is he? Well, I'll teach him to show his dirty face here.” He spun round unsteadily and, lurching across the yard, began to fumble at the door of one of the sheds. Mrs. Gowlland made an imploring gesture. “Go—go at once,” she gasped. and it will kill you if here.” ‘Whether I should have followed her advice or not I can't say; in any case it was too late. There was the rattle of a chain from inside the shed, and with a menacing growl the huge rough-coated brute that I had seen crouching on the bank that morning bounded out into the open. “At 'im, boy! Get your teeth into the—" Swift as light, a bristling mass of black fury launched itself toward me. I sprang back, and as I did so, some- thing silent and yellow fiashed past me from behind. It cannoned full into my assailant in midair, and the next moment, amidst an ear-splitting clamor, two frantic, writhing bodies were locked in a life and death battle. A foul oath burst from Gowlland's lips, and stooping down he snatched up the broken handle of a pitchfork. Before he could properly straighten himself, however, I had leaped for- ‘ward and gripped him by the wrist. “No you don't, ducky,” I said. ‘We swayed to and fro, straining and struggling till, with a savage wrench, I tore the weapon from his hands. At the same instant his foot slipped and, losing his balanch he sat down heavily in the mud. A little breathlessly I turned to see how matters were progressing else- where. I had just time to observe that George was on top, his teeth buried in his enemy’s shoulder, when with another and equally unprintable observation, my own adversary struggled to his feet. “Better leave 'em alone” I said Ppleasantly. “You may get hurt if you try to interfere.” For a second he stood facing me, RENOVIZE . your home This Has Been Our Bnll.nul for 86 Years EBERLY’S SONS 6357 1108 K N.W.

Go—go, I im- plore you. It’s the only thing that will stop murder.” From somewhere close at hand came the bang of a door. “Sounds sensible to me,” observed Jerry. “He'd probably shoot George and then there'd certainly be a mas- sacre. Any objection to beating it?” “None,” T said. And without further ado we bolted ingloriously through the gate. I lay on my back, gazing up at the glass skylight, against which the rain was_still fitfully driving. “There’s one thing dead certain,” I repeated; “the man's as mad as a hatter. What's more, if I'm any judge, he’s on the verge of D, T.” Jerry picked up his pot of beer from the cabin floor and took a long gulp. “Pleasant for his wife!

NEW YORK, January 5—The In-| £ 2 ternational Nudist Conference struck | Practice what you preach. Ride the back yesterday at the advisory council of the Legion of Decency and said: “It is strange indeed” to find Alired E. Smith in the role of a crusader against nudism. The former Governor is chairman of the Advisory Council. “It appears,” said Rev. Ilsley Bocne, executive sesecretary of the nudist conference, “that the Legion »f De- cency of the Catholic church pro- poses an amendment to State laws against immorality, directed spe- cifically against the nudist move- ment. ¢ ¢ 5 “It is strange indeed to find Mr. Smith favoring legislation designed to prohibit in the realm of morals, for he was one of the country's stanch- est advocates of prohibition repeal and | made the statement that we cannot make people mora) by legislation.

Clad in delect- able blue silk paja- mas, her piquant face fresh from a cold-water splash, her champagne-colored curls still rumpled from the pillow, the pretty girl-wife looked anything but quar- relsome as she darted about setting the table for breakfast. Resentment, however, was venting itself in hot, angry woids. “The streets are glazed with ice.” Her high-pitched voice carried easily across the modern living room, through the orchid-and-gold bed room and on to the black-and-silver bath room. “I refuse to drive you down to the office!” The boy-husband was sensitive about broadcasting his marital trou- bles. He emerged from the bath room daubing at a fresh razor cut with a towel. “All right, all right—only pipe vn!” he retorted in a low scornful “I'll call a cab.” cab would be as econom! your prized gas-eating Royilac.” Eu- nor rubbed it in. A willowware plate spun to its place on the table. “You started this economizing stunt, so bus.” “Me—ride the bus!” Dick ejacu- lated disdainfully. “Why, I wouldn’t | be seen entering one of those drafty, top-heavy monstrosities!” He began straightening the living room chairs with vengeance. “You're a show-off, that's why!” the girl accused. “As you like!” shrugging his shoulders. “But I'm staying in the Loop mmgm to avoid hearing nu this again.” “Who cares?” Having had the last word, Elinor began humming a little tune. Its forced gayety seemed to in- crease the tension. The song died away. Silence reigned supreme—for a mo- ment. Then the bell rang. Opening the door, Elinor recognized the her- | culean youth who had operated the |hotel ~ switchboard the last three nights. He carried a bottle of cream and a pint of milk. “Mawning, Mrs. Hixon,” came his pleasant drawl. “The milkman just arrived. There's a heap to deliver so I ran up with yours to make cer- . ;nln you received it in time for break- ast.” “Oh, how kind of you!” Elinor exclaimed. Noting his overcoat, she asked, “Going home.” “Yes. I'm off duty at 8" turned away. Later the girl could not account for her actions. On the impulse, she tugged at his sleeve. “Would you like He better social life.” Church Owns Slums. Some of the worst slums in Eng- land are owned by the Church of| | England, declared Sir John W.

A. PHILLIPS, Associated Press Financial Writer, NEW YORK, January 5—Profit taking and adjustment of accounts for the week end caused some irregu- larity in prices on the curb market today. A number of specialties were bid for briskly and merchandising shares were in favor, but utilities, oils end metals were backward. Trading was fairly active. Leading utilities, including Ameri- can Gas, Electric Bond & Share, Niagara Hudson, and Cities Service displayed moderate steadiness in initial sales, but failed to hold the advantage in subsequent trading. American Super Power, however, was supported at slightly higher levels. An uneven trend prevailed in cther sections of the market. Creole Petroleum lost a fraction and Inter- national held unchanged. Lake Shore Mines and American Cyanamid “B" sold moderately higher end minor | losses occurred in Wright Hargreaves, | Bunker Hill & Sullivan and Cord * | Corp. A strong tone prevailed in special- ties. Singer Mfg. advanced 5! points, Pepperell was 1'> higher and advances of around 1 wers made by Dominion Bridge, Mayflower and Mead Johnson. Pittsburgh Plate Glass and Sherwin Williams were in- active and showed little change. Chicago Grain By the Associated Press. CHICAGO. January 5.—Downturns of wheat prices early today resulted more or less from uncertainty cver President Roosevelt's budget speech expected on Monday and from ensuing legislation. There was a lack of any vigorous buying support. Opening un- changed to %< lower, May, 997:29913, wheat afterward sagged all around Corn started at 3, off !{ up. May 89'ga89';, and subsequently held near the initial limits Rallies later lifted both wheat and corn, with May wheat contracts rising to $1 a bushel, and more than over- coming ecarly declines. Some talk was heard that the May delivery of wheat appeared to be working itself into a natural “corner” in which speculative sellers might have to pay dearly for being too venturesome. In this con- nection, friends of higher prices urged that the basic factor of constant dis- appearance of available domestic sup- 2| plies of wheat was operative without respite. Wheat and corn visible supply fig- ures on Monday next were generally expected to reflect recent very small . | Teceipts, which were accompanied by ' | good shipping sales out of the various markets. Moreover, the visible supply totals, it was currently predicted, would be whittled down a great deal further before auother domestic crop 18 | of wheat could even be approached. Renewal of strength in hog markets today tended plainly at times to in- spire buying of corn and oats. An- other stimulating influence was word 2% | that United States purchases of Ar- gentine corn had subsided, and were likely to revive until Chicago 9 1y 1% | not 47y | prices of corn advanced to a considere able extent. # | Provisions were steadied by upturns Z:, of hog values. 6% Liverpool Grain Prices.
