A-10 CHLDREN CROND SPECAL CONGERT Symphony Performance for Youngsters Proves Delight to Large Throng. BY ALICE EVERSMAN. The auditorium of Central High School was crowded to the doors with the eager children and their escorts who gathered yesterday for the open- ing concert of the students’ series by | the National Symphony Orchestra. More even than the two series for adults, these students’ concerts, en- livened by the interesting talks of Dr.| THE SUNDAY STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C., JANUARY 13, 1935—PART ONE. Models for Charity MISS JEANNE RENAUD Of Washington dressed in the beige crash linen play suit trimmed with wooden buttons and a large brown sun hat, which she wore as a model at a_ fashion show given in the palm terrace of the Hotel Roose- velt, New York City, for benefit of the West 63d Street Community House. A. P. Photo. Kindler, are one of the finest expres-| ] sions of what the National Symphony means in civic education. | ‘Dr. Kindler began by tracing the history of music from biblical times | to the program for yesterday's con- cert. He produced a ram’s horn such as was described in the Old Testa- ment, and pipes of Pan to illustrate the types of musical instruments used by the early Greeks. Asking the! children to remember the name of | Pope Gregory, who was responsible for | the finest music in existence, he next} spoke of the Troubadours and the; “little fiddlers of the king.” the name of the small orchestras at the courts | of the French kings. i French Music Played. i This_led him logically to the sub-. Ject of yesterday's program, French music. On each side of the stage| and flanking the American Flag. hung | the colors of France. The concerts| this year are described as “musical Journeys” through the music of vari-| ous countries with Germany as the, next “port of call.” | Explaining first the influence of | the dance on musical form and the| characteristics of the different prm‘-l inces of France, the first number,| “Ballet Suite,” by Rameau. with its| “Menuetto,” “Musette” and “Tambou in” was played by the orchestr Speaking of Berlioz as a “New Deal composer in contrast to the consema-l tive Delibes, the orchestra next played two numbers by those composers, De- libes’ “Passepied” and Berlioz's most | representative work, “Marche Hon- | groise.” The second movement of Cesar Franck’s “Symphony in D Minor" was next given a reverently beautiful read- ing. The “musical instrument tour™” began with the violin, cello, harp and contra bass. Jacques Posell playing as | bass solo, “The Elephant,” music of Saint-Saenas’ “Carneval of the Ani- mals” An arrangement of Saint- Saens’ “The Swan,” for vioiin. cello and harp, was then given by Frank Gittelson, concertmaster; Howard | Mitchell, first cellist, and Sylvia Meyer, harpist Ravel Excerpts Played. i Reaching the modern composers of | France, the orchestra played Debus- | sey’s arrangement of Satie’s “Gymno- | pedie No. 2.” and two excertps from Ravel’s “Mother Goose suite, the story | of which was amusingly related by Dr. | Kindler. | With the singing of “La Marseil- laise,” a repetition being needed to gain the proper spirit and the play- | ing of the “Farandole,” from Bizet's | “L’'Arlesienne Suite No. 2" the concert lasted a half hour longer than those | of last year. i An informal lecture was given yes- ! terday afternoon in the auditorium of | the Library of Congress by Jean | Thomas, founder of the American | Folk Song Society. Miss Thomas | comes from Ashland, Ky., and brought | with her records made by the moun- | tain musicians and moving pictures | of the folk festival. Interest Awakened. i Miss Thomas’ interest in the music of the Kentucky mountaineers dates from the times she was sent into the | mountains to report the trial of one | of the mountaineers for murder. She | found herself lodged jn a room ad- | Jjoining that of the murderer. Her | distress at the situation vanished | when she heard a voice singing the | folk songs of the region which, on investigation, proved to be the mur- derer himself. Eventually acquitted, | he helped her to begin a study of the | music native to the mountainous section of Kentucky. | Through her efforts, the American | Folk Song Society was organized six | year ago. The pictures shown yes-‘ terday were taken at the Folk Song Festival, held last June, and showed | the native musicians and dancers and | the large crowd that came from all over the world to hear their music. ‘The records were made by the musi: cians and represented the songs and various instrumental music performed at the festival. BOYD HINDS GIVEN FAREWELL DINNER| Director of N. E. Boys’ Club Takes Community Chest Post on Tuesday. Approximately 90 guests, a goodly | percentage of whom were boys from | the Northeast Boys' Club, last night attended a farewell dinner given at the Arlington Hotel in honor of A. Boyd Hinds, retiring director of the club, who becomes assistant director of the Community Chest Tuesday. The dinner also served to welcome Otto Nielsen, who succeeds Mr. Hinds as director of the club on Tuesday. Coleman Jennings, prominent phil- anthropist, who has long been asso- ciated with the work of the Northeast Boys' Club, presided as toastmaster. H. L. Willett, jr. director of the Community Chest, thanked the club for releasing Mr. Hinds in order that he might accept the new position and spoke of him as one of the most promising young men in social work in the District. Willett was followed by Clarence Phelps Dodge, president of the Community Chest, who spoke 1 & few words of greeting and welcome | to Mr. Hinds to his new post. Otto Nielsen, new director of the Boys' Club, spoke of the advantages that he had gained in association with the retiring director and prom- ised his utmost efforts in carrying out the policies that have been formu- lated by Mr. Hinds. Mr. Nielsen has 1 where far away up the creek, came a faint, unmistakable sound.

It will be another 40 minutes at least before the bar’s really safe, but there’s no harm in making a few preparations. You two stay here and, for the love of Mike, kebp your eyes open.” He left us abruptly and, moving forward into the bows, started to haul in the slack of the anchor chain. Down below, through the open door of the cabin, I could hear Jimmy pumping up the Primus. “I'd give a lot to know what's hap- pened to our dear friend Orloff.” I said. “Where do you suppose he was making for when he slipped off from the factory?” “I've been trying to work it out.” Molly sat down beside me on the wet cabin top. “I believe he meant to go bak to the boat. He'd finished with us—at least, so he thought—but that was no use unless he could get rid of the others, too. “I don’t know how he was going to do it. I expect he had some cun- ning and horrible plan to make it look as if we'd all been killed in the explosion. Anyhow, he certainly wouldn't waste time. He'd already sent one of his men to watch the farm, and—" “But when he found we'd es- caped,” I broke in, “why didn't he finish us off then? What chance should we have had against a crowd of armed toughs?” She shook her head. “It's got to look like an accident, Nick. After all, this isn’t Russia. You can't shoot down four people and just leave their bodies lying about on the marsh. Why, even now, when he knows—." “Listen!” I gripped hold of her wrist and for a tense second we both sat there in breathless silence. Through the moaning of the wind, from some- CHAPTER XLV. RACE. T WAS only a short pull—40 yards at the utmost—but, with the spray splashing over us at every stroke, we were all four drenched to the skin by the time we got on board. George. who was waiting for us on deck, heralded our approach by a chorus of staccato barks, his enthusi- asm culminating in a frantic attempt to lick each of cur faces in turn as we climbed over the side. “What about a hot drink and a mouthful of biscuit straight away? suggested Jerry. “I could do with it for one, and heaven knows when we if ' Clearante of PIANOS Grands and Uprights Knabe, Steck, Mason & Ham- lin, Chickering, Stieff, Kimball, Vose & Sons, Hallett & Davis, Hardman, Fischer—are just a few of the famous makes on sale at reduced prices.

Free Estimates For Your Convenience MEtro. 2132 wind-swept creek, I had a momentary glimpse of our pursuing enemy. She was a powerful-looking cutter, half as large again as ourselves and, in addition to her engine, she was forging along under every strip of canvas that she was capable of carrying. “Thanks, old man; I'll take her on now. You get down into the well, Molly.” Jerry, who had already possessed himself of the tiller, slipped deftly into my place and, edging out of his way, I peered through the flying |spume at the white-crested turmoil ahead of us. “Looks ugly,” he remarked, “but it's our only chance. Now they know we've got the paper those devils won't care a curse what happens. They'll shoot us down like rabbits and then make fo- that ship of theirs.” I fished out the revolver which I had stuffed away into my side pocket. { “They’ll have to hurry,” I muttered. i"" they don't catch us before we reach the bar—." “That's what I'm counting on,” Jerry laughed grimly. “They must draw at least a couple of feet more than we do and with any luck there's an almighty smash coming for some- body.” He eased off the mainsheet and, with the wind dead behind us, the Seagull heaved and smashed her way joyously through the onrushing tide. “Better lie down, Nick,” he added; “it would spoil all the fun if you got & bullet through your head.” His advice struck me as sound | and, stretching myself out flat, I looked back over the foaming wake which spread out in a broad fan | astern. With the help of her engine the pursuing cutter was overhauling us rapidly. In the bright light of the moon which now shone down through a gap in the cloud bank I could see her crew of four as plainly as though it were daytime. One of them, a huge, bare-headed fellow, who was steering, I recognized at once. It was my old acquaintance, the big Russian sailor. With his bestial features and enor- for all the world like some monstrous ape, but it was on the-man who was crouching motionless beside him that my eyes instinctively riveted themselves. A cold blast of hatred went through my heart as I stared at that still, sinister figure. He sat there, bent slightly forward, his face a white mask in the moonlight. Except for the slight swaying of his body as the ship rose and fell, he never stirred or varied his position. Not more than a hundred yards now separated us and every moment the roar of the sea as it pounded against the bar became louder and more strident. Twisting myself around, I took a glance forward over the plunging bobstay. Directly ahead of us the line of breakers that stretched from shore to shore was broken by a nar- row strip of dark, swirling water. On each side of this, over the crest of the ridge a white maelstrom boiled and bubbled, while here and there patches of black sand still showed among the frothing turmoil.

By the Associated Press, The question of taxes was discussed yesterday on Capitol Hill, disclosing a wide division of opinion among the law makers. The Treasury is opposed to cutting the tax. The Federal Afcohol Con- trol Administration believes a lower levy would bring death to the boot- legging industry. Indications are that the adminis- tration is willing to let the tax remain lowering liquor at $2 a gallon, although a group of | Congressmen, headed by Representa- tive McCormack (Democrat, Massa- chusetts), favor restoring the old $1.10 a gallon impost. Reduction Is Urged. McCormack, an influential member of the House Ways and Means Com- mittee, issued a statement urging re- duction to $1.10, and added: “If liquor taxes are too high the cost of legitimate spirits to the con- sumer is such that illegally manu- petition and at a lower price.” Representative Samuel B. Hill of Washington, ranking Demograt on the same committee, expressed the opinion that the $2 rate should be preserved and lower retail prices | brought by tariff pact reductions of | the $5 a gallon import duty.
