We think that Mr. Washington de ! tracts from his artistry by putting his knee on the piano while announcing a selection. Intermission followed thus: In the fourth and concluding group came the spirituals “Motherless Child” by Burleigh; “Sweet Little Jesus Boy” by MacGimsey; “I Stood on De River of Jordan” bv Burleigh; and Prices’ “My Soul’s Been Anchored In De Lord”. It is commonly believed that only the Negro can sing spirituals with effect. Mr. Briggs lived up to this commonly accepted item and really treated the audience in his final group ! of selections. The initial number was very well rendered. The softness and tenderness of “Sweet Little Jesus Boy” affected the audience very much so. The third selection was masterfully done. The melodious piano part added to the beauty of the number. It seems gg If Vfr.

His skill and accurate musical touch as he presented each number, was won derful to hehold. His reputation of na tional and international fame as an excellent violinist was well manifested throughout his performance. It has been long since we have heard and witnessed such artistic ability of such a rare note as Mr. W hite. Each note he struck sent ripples of pleasure thru the audience. When finished he was called back for several encores giving them with the same skill and controll as was shown throughout his entire proram. His audience was so impressed with his music that they didn't want it too end. Ou" praise wouldn’t be complete of this fine concert without mentioning, the excellency of Mr. White s accom panist in the personage of Mr. Henry Smith, his pianist. Mr. and Mrs. Clarence C.

Such is the bait used to hook hun dreds of otherwise cautious parents, through their most vulnerable spot, pride in their own offspring, according to the Better Business Burear. The Bureau reports that one of the catch-as-catch-can publishing compan ies which trade on the reputation and demand for encyclopedias created by the well-known and established pub lishers. has been active in various re sidential areas of the city recently. The proposition which opens up as a free set, to get the salesman’s foot in the door soon appears to involve a small charge for annual supplements to the encyclopedia. Ultimately after Chas.

I t'-S ■ . - . •' _ _ - , ■ MONROE, MICH.—“Driving a tractor over rough, uneven farm land no longer is the bumpy, ‘hang-on-for-dear-life’ job it used to be. For smoothness, it’s like driving the family sedan on Sun day.” This was the report of the farmer who drove here in his automobile from his home several hundred miles away to take de livery of a new hydraulic, easy ride tractor seat at the plant of j the Monroe Auto Equipment | company. He was the 100,000th buyer of this new postwar proch uct of the country’s largest inde pendent maker of hydraulic shock absorbers.' Combining the action of direct double-iaction hydraulic shock ab sorber, variable rate coil spring and stabilrf r, the seat fits all makes an. models of tractors built since .>37. It cushions jolts and side t ists of tractor driv ing, and c, -ates with equal ef ficiency wither the driver is an 80-pound or a 200-pound farmer. the salesman has left and the flattered and befuddled mother has read and grasped the meaning of the contract she has signed, she finds she is obli gated to pay a substantial sum. The price may even be more than that of one of the better standard encyclope dias, the Bureau warns. In this scheme, copies of the actual books are rarely shown, and the pro spect is shown only photographs, ac companied by verbal slick-talk by the salesman who subtly leads the pros pect to envision them as just like the ones of a well-known publisher she has already seen in a neighbor’s house. The full extent of her error does not become evident until the imitation «*n | ovc'opedia arrives by express some few weeks leter (and after the4 salesman lias i ' t town ). She also discovers too late that there is nothing in the writ ten contract to support he saleman's oral ssu-anco of "money back’ if you aren' satisfied. “Read belo e v- u si^n and bews’v of gift offers is the warning which the Better Business Bureau stresses as the most important safeguard acainst this and similar schemes.

PUBLIC REACTION SOUGHT IN METHOD OF RAISING FUNDS Public reaction to a nrooo<*ed plan t ' further*" reduce the number of money raising campaigns »« sought y V it.r Board of Governor'* of thp Omaha Com munity Chest. Le'te^s this week were sent to the boards of directors of its member agencies and to a representa tive cross section of contributors to the annual campaign inviting these and ot her contributors to express their opin ions. Traditionally, thp Chest has opera ted on the principle to include in its goal only operating funds which its agencies were unable to obtain from fees, endowments or other sources. “No provision has been made for depreciation or capital improvements” Morris E. Jacobs. Chest president, said “Now after 23 years, the Chest agen cies have accumulated needs and are seeking permission for supplementary campaigns. “While the Chest is sympathetic and appreciates the necessity for certain projects, it must at the same time be concerned with the reaction on the part of the donors and with the ulti mate influence of these numerous cam paigns on the total amount to be made available for all agencies for operation through the annual Chest drive”. Present articles of incorporation pro vide that no member agency may put on a campaign, bazaar, etc., for any purpose whatsoever without approval of the Chest Board. “Wisely or unwisely, the Chest board has in some instances granted permis sion to some agencies to put on a cam paign for capital improvements”, Mr. Jacobs added. The Board is therefore confronted with the problem of allow, ing all aeencies such permission, or put a definite stop to all such camp aigns and work out with the agencies an overall solution. “The only feasible solution of this problem would appear to be the amen ding of the articles in such a manner as to provide that no member agency can be permitted, even by the board of governors, to put on an individual campaign for capital expenditures. Ob viously if such a change were made it fould become the duty of the Chest to assume the obligation of allocating funds for agencies’ capital needs”. The Community Chest was organiz ed to unite in one annual campaign, the appeals of accredited organizations willing to subscribe to Chest principles. ‘The Chest board is of the opinion that continued drives by these agencies will sooner or later abolish the use fulness of the Chest to its agencies”, Mr. Jacobs said, While authority is vested in the Chest governors, the reaction from the agencies and the public is sought as a guidance before any amendment to the present Chest constitution are un dertaken. Obviously, it is impossible to write all 72.000 donors to the Chest but Mr. Jacobs has invited all contri butors to express their ooinion by wri ting the board at 736 World Herald Building.
