SYMPHONY FUNDS BELIEVED SHORT More Time for Canvass In- dicated Committee Need. Kindler Speaks. Tadications by committee chairmen and their aides thut more tiine prob- ably will be required to canvass their various fields have led to the belief that tomorrow will find the National Symphony Orchestra short of its goal in the campaign to raise a $100,000 sustaining fund. Dr. Hans Kindler, conductor of the orchestra, who was a guest at the meeting in campaign headquarters at the Carlton Hotel, told the work- ers he hoped to hear of the success of the drive at Asheville, N. C.. to- morrow, where the symphony is sched- uled to give a concert. Central High School auditorium is inadequate for the children’'s cotcerts, | Dr. Kindler said, in emphasizing the | need for a more spacious hall if an| enlarged program of students’ con- certs is to be carried out next season. $1,000 Largest of Day. The largest contribution of the day—a gift of $1,000—was received | from Mrs. Emile Berliner of Wardman Park Hotel Miss Clara Burroughs, vice chair- man of the Educational Committee, reported progress in her group.

Miss Elizabeth Hummer, supervisor of the fifth division, reported gifts of $172—the result of two days' solicita- tion. Bryan School aione contributed $50. Miss Hilton said complete solici- tation would require considerably more than the 10 days originally allctted. Miss Mary McQuade, representing the parochial schools, reported her committee nad visited 22 schools and 6,000 children. Business Houses Generous. The Business Committee, of which Mrs. Oliver Struck is co-chairman, re- ported numerous gifts from business houses, including $100 from Lans- burgh's & Co., and a similar amount from the Yecht Co. “Reports from business houses are encouraging,” she said, “with more contributioas coming in than last year. My committee, however, hopes to con- vince more business houses of the value of ihe National Symphony as a civic and business asset and secure their financial assistance.” The Army Committee, through Mrs. Barton K. Yount, co-chairman, an- | nounced 2n increase of nearly 100 per cent over last year in the number of Army officers contributing to the fund The Government Committee, which Mrs. Ernest Gruening is co- chairman, reported a membership from the Biological Survey.

Potomac 0701 A nes, on the Prench Riviera, by storm | MUSIGAL CONCERT TOUR 15 ENDED Dr. Kindler Uses Russian and American Music in Series Finale. BY ALICE EVERSMAN. The series of student concerts which the National Symphony Orchestra has been giving at Central High School ended yesterday. The musical tour of various countries, which has been the feature of these concerts, brought the young listeners back to their own country by way of Russia. The num- bers chosen were the most representa- tive of the character of the music of each nation besides making known their most outstanding composers. Moussorgsky, Tschaikowsky, Rimsky- Korsakof and Ippolitov-Ivanow were selected from the Russian writers, and MacDowell, Vardell, Skilton and Foster for the American One of the features of these con- certs, which has held the interest of the children wa$ Dr. Hans Kindler's explanatory talks.

Calling at- tention to some special point in the works played, he succeeded in fixing the objective of each concert firmiy in the children’s minds. Not all the audence were young people for so entertaining and instructive were these concerts that many adults were also patrons. Prank Gittelson, the concert master of the orchestra, was the soloist play- ing the violin arrangement of Rimsky- Korsakof's “Hymn to the Sun.” Mr. Gittelson, who has had a distinguished career as concertizing artist, has an unusually besutiful tone, pure and resorent, and a polished and facile technique. His interpretation of the hymn contained a lovely poignancy that was received with an outburst of applause difficult to still. An extra soloist. was Lila Zalipsky, who in na- tive costume danced a Russian dance accompanied by Mme, Zalipsky at the piano. Two songs were scheduled for the audience to sing, the “Song of the Volga Boatmen” being given twice and Foster’s “Old Black Joe” finished the program. Definite announcement will be made shortly as to the number | and character of these concerts to be | given next season. | EYES EXAMINED save 257 t0 507 On the Cost of Your Glasses EYESTRAIN HEADACHES POSITIVELY RELIEVED FRATERNITY PLANS FETE | Theta Delta Chi Local Chapter to Observe Founding.
