WOMEN EQUAL MEN IN MUSIC, PIANIST CLAIMS

Mme. Stowkowski Demands Blind Test to Prove Feminine Skill.

Demands Blind Test _

“It is a foolish Statement. ” she said. “Many men are limited, too.” She challenged Iturbi and any other doubting critics to decide the Issue by blind test, “Let men and women instiumentalists perform behind a screen and I defy any critic to differentiate between them. 1 believe that the performance of such women as Antonia Brico, New York Women’ s Symphony Orchestra conductor, will stack up with any man alive,” she said, her dark eyes flashing. At one time Mme. Stokowski was a violent antisuffragist, she said. She liked men, and they liked her, she said, and she felt content with the feminine status. “But a look around the music - world convinced me that women were trampled in their rights,” she said. “Then I started fighting.” Like all wars, she believes that this issue has an economic basis. “In many towns where good masculine musicians are at a premium, women are given their chance. Otherwise, they have a difficult time edging in,” she said. She ‘was enthusiastic in her approval of the large feminine personnel which constitutes the Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra. Although she has never heard the local orchestra perform, she is happy to be visiting in a city where

women musicians are recognized to |

such an extent, she said. Famed as Writer

Mme. Stokowski won fame for | herself not only in the concert. field, but also as a writer on musical subjects. She has taught piano at the Juillard Graduate School and is now head of the piano department of the Philadelphia Conservatory of Music. She took her music seriously at an early age. She improvised on the piano at the age of 3 and by 12 had shown such remarkable talent that she was taken to Europe to study. “I had a sethack when I returned to this eouniry for a concert tour, however,’ She said, concluding the |

interview. “Because I am a womar | Mion | Y

Mrs. Helen Morrison Mills, international music rerecommended as a new project in the field of international music relations the acquisition of-a library of American works; primarily of symphonic works and chamber music, for loan overseas. “Despite indications of world unrest, music goes steadily forward and the chain of understanding beforged between the United States and other lands through the art grows continually stronger,” she said. .

Refinement, of band music is to | be the principal project of the Na- | tional Music Camp at Interlochen, | this summer, according to | Maddy. “Band music in general has been of a low type,” he said, “entertaining but noisy.” The objective of the camp, to be attended by 200 ‘high school musicians, is to build character through musie.

BALTZELL GRANTS UTILITY SUIT DELAY

lliness of Newton D. Baker Causes Postponement

Federal Judge Robert C. Baltzell today postponed until late this week hearing of oral arguments in the

suit of the Chase National Bank, New York, against the old Citizens’ Gas Co., the Indianapolis Gas Co. the City of Indianapolis, and the Utilities District directors. The delay was granted because Newton D. Baker, Cleveland, former Secretary of War and counsel for the plaintiff company, is ill at his. home. The New York bank, as trustee for bondholders of the two former gas companies, seeks a declaratory judgment to make a 9-year lease, which the Indianapolis company consumated with the City Gas Co., now the Citizens Gas & Coke Utility, valid. The City has refused to take over the lease, claiming the price too high. The arguments are to be on the question of jurisdiclion, the. City claiming Federal Court does not have it and that the case should be heard in a State court.

most of the homes were evacuated or in process of evacuation, and the water crept into the lower Cambria works of the Bethlehem Steel Corp. Other towns in the area drained by the Conemaugh River and Stony Creek prepared for a flood siege. The village of Hooversville was reported almost entirely under water. : The rise at Pittsburgh was. unusually rapid. server’ W. S. Brotzman said he looked for the river to go Over flood stage, possibly early this aft‘ernoon. He declined to predict a crest. It was the first flood threat in Pittsburgh since Jan. 26, when a stage of 34.54 feet was reached. The highest April stage in modern history was in 1901, when the rivers rose to 30.7 feet. Highways Are Closed Residents in low-lying sections of the Pittsburgh district prepared for a repetition of the dreary flood stories of last January and of March, 1936, when they were forced’ to abandon their homes. Turtle Creek overflowed its banks in East Pittsburgh. The water covered the streetcar tracks and flooded dozens of cellars. A number of highways were ‘closed by landslides. The steady rains of the past three and four days loos--ened earth and rocks from hillsides and deposited tons of earth on roads, railroad tracks and streetcar tracks. The Lincoln Highway at the south end of Ligonier, Pa. was closed by high water in the early morning but later was reopened. Mill Creek and Loyalhanna Creek flooded 15 to 20 homes in the residential section of Ligonier, where residents reported the flood was worse than that of 1936. Water flowed over two streets in the business section.

Vacant cottages in Kingston, Camp Crawford and Camp Loyalhanna were flooded. Lowlands in the Latrobe area were inundated. Loss of livestock and pouliry was reported by farmers. Mountain streams in the Ligonigs Valley were fed by melting snow, which fell to the depth of five inches over the week-end. State Road 56, linking Johnstown with the William Penn Highway, was closed. A slide blocked the road at Seward. Shuttle service was established into Washington, Pa., by the Pittsburgh Railways Co. after earth and rock fell on the inteurban tracks at Morganza. ¢ Rain Turns to Sleet At Franklin, on the Upper Allegheny, the river rose rapidly after 2.15 inches of rainfall Sunday, the heaviest downpour in almost a year. Thé stage in mid-morning was 13 feet. Flood stage is 16 feet. Landslides on the Reno-Oil City highway interrupted traffic. In Kane, the winter sports capital of Pennsylvania, high in the mountains, rain changed to sleet when temperatures dropped to 30 degrees. Precipitation of an inch and a half was recorded Sunday. The Monessen-Webster Road was closed by overflow from the Monongahela River. Town Almost Marooned At Marietta, O., and Parkersburg, W. Va., a river stage of 30 feet was predicted.

Partial Evacuation of Johnstown Ordered

By United Press JOHNSTOWN, Pa. April 26.-— Partial evacuation was ordered for Johnstown today as this metropolis of 70,000 annually plagued by flood waters sought to prevent a repeti= tion of loss of life suffered in the St. Patrick's Day flood of 1936. Mayor Danijel Shields -ordered

evacuation of low-lying residences and business houses adjacent to tee Conemaugh and Stoney Creek rivers. Red Cross officials were notified and public school classes were suspended. Rivers observers said the water reached its crest at midmorning. It was at that time that Somerset County, which was pouring its high water down the mountains into ‘Johnstown, reported the .water receding. Water poured into the city from Stony Creek on one side and the Conemaugh River on the other, rising at the rate of one fcot each hour. Heavy rains starting Sunday sent, the - mountain stream rampaging much like they did March 17, 1936, when a score of lives were lost and damage was estimated in the millions. Merchants called out their employees at 4 a. m. and removed stock to upper floors.

MILK AND FEED RATIO OUTLINED

Purdue Expert Te Tells Agents Cow Is Liability Under Two Gallons Per Day.

‘a. A. Williams, Purdue University dairy expert, told Indianapolis district’ county agricultural agents this afternoon that a cow which does not average two gallons of milk a day over the year “cannot pay expenses to the farmer in this drought-caused feed shortage.” “They met in the Hotel Washington, : The margin, he said, is pretty fine since the average Indiana cow produces only two and a half gallons a day. The yearly rations for a cow are one acre of legume hay, 20 bushels of corn, 20 bushels of oats and five bushels of say beans, he said. He told them that sudan grass, which can be seeged up to the middle of May, is a splendid fili-in where there is pasture shortage. Leon C. Coller, Marion County Milk Administrator, spoke on “The Relationship of Supply and Demand,” and Warren O'Hara, Han= cock County Agent, led a discussion of the addresses. This morning L. M. Busche, assistant state county agents leader; Miss Lela Gaddis, home demonstrator, and Mrs. William G. Bray, head of the Indiana University stenographic and office management department, spoke.

in perfect proportion. : His affliction has been diagnosed as “Strumpel-Marie's” disease. = It is - so unusual that doctors have never studied it enough to evolve a cure or find its cause. His trouble began seven years ago

"when he hafl an automobile acci-

dent. His body began to shrink from its .5 feet 4 inches until now he stands only 4 feet 10'2 inches tall. Some doctors said the condition was caused by a drying up of cushions between the vertebrae of the spine, which shortened it. Others believed some glandular disturbance caused the shrinking.
