TOE OREGON STATESMAN. SALEM, OREGON TUESDAY MORNING, MAY 3, 1021 3 MOST of the press notices con cerning the Los Angeles Philharmonic o r c h e s tra have contained comparisons with this organization and other simi lar bodies, like the New York phllharnion'c. which just appeared jj PorUana. Those who have not heard botn can only conjec ture what the difference Is. It mould seem that it must be in age. site or preptiRe. for if the Hew York Philharmonic plays with finesse and perfection, so to does that of Los Angeles.

Jg, II By MOLLY DRUNK j jgram of music In the armory Sun jday afternoon. It was cause for regret that the concert did not call forth e. larger house regret that the impression is left In the minds of outsiders that Salem is not w music-loving ttty. and regret that so many missed one or the mpst refreshing and delightful programs given in a long time. Thi? much can r,e said for the comparitively small number rep resented in the audience. They were of the true, jninslc-loving class who went early, with a pas s'on. even for the preliminary tuning of the instruments, and who expressed their pleasure over each selection with prolonged and enthusiastic applause. As a director Walter Henry Rothwel! proved his right to the eulogy that has been coupled with his name, for he is a leader of the first rank, dynamic, alert, effi cient, and withal. an artist. He held h!s forces together with masr terly skill, the players performing as one. There was a liquid flow of melody that began with the mild rippling of the overture from "Oberon," and gradually increased in volume as the river of harmony flowed alons, until it melted Into the thunderous welcome of the sea. The only solo number was a harp contribution by Alfred Kast ner. foremost of English harp so ists. who gave the Kantasle in A Tlxe h t, for crLm codhrnd left SSJ" A Feast of Bargains All Over The Store These represent the acme of perfection in tailoring, line and in those small niceties of finish which distinguish the better suits, dresses and coats.

Encores given bv the orchestra were "Mazurka." by Glaszonow. and 'Voices of Spring." by Strauss. A second impromptu concert followed the scheduled one. at the residence of Dr. and Mrs. John K. Sites, for in several of the mem bers the well-known Salem musi cian found former musical com rades of student days in Europe, four coming from Dr. Sites' home town. Thes were dinner guests of Dr. and Mrs. Sites Sunday eve ning, each contributing solos to the informal program which fol lowed later in the evening. Every one of the members of the Pnilharmonlc orchestra as well as its leader expressed them selves as surprised and delighted that so worthwhile an organiza tion as the Salem Symphony or chestra had been formed In the city. They were much pleased with the arrangement of the pro grams that had been given, and knowing as they did Dr. Sites' family connections with some of the most brilliant musicians of the day and also of hi sown splendid work both abroad and in this country, were unanimous in com mending him In the sacrificial form of work that be is doing for his residence city. Dr. and Sin. Sites entertained as their guests Ilya Bronson. 'cello soloist; Paul H. Mattersleig. tuba player, who. incidentally is the highest-paid member of the Phil harmonic; Paul Oerhardt. first oboe; Max Fuhrman. first basson; Edmund Foerstel, first chair of the second violins: Alfred Kast ner, harpist, and the following members of the Salem Symphony Miss Viola Ash. Avery Hicks and Frank Al!. Thirty girls, members of the Sigma Pii Delta were hostesses at one of he most charming dancing parties of the season Saturday r.ight at Cliemawa. The ' Sigma I'hi Dolt dance is an annual rf fair and i'. considered the crown ing event in the social activities or the Indian school. Mrs. Harwood Hall, wife of the superintendent, sponsored the dance, which was held In the large gymnasium. The affair this year took the form of a flower festival, and the decora tions were in accordance. Bowers and arbors of scented bloom, and countless hanging baskets com pletely hid all traces of the walls and ceiling. The dance was inter spersed with solo dances by mem bers of the sorority, refreshments were served at small tables pret tily centered with May 'baskets. The entire faculty and the senior class were invited guests, about 150 b-eing present. Personal guests of Mrs. Hall were Mr. and SHOES Mrs. L. T. Aldrich. Dr. and Mrs,. John Sites and Dr. Mary Row land of Salem. Mrs. Ida Bunnell was dinner hostess Sunday at her borne on State street when she entertained for a group of relatives ond friends. Tulips Trora the Frank lin and Dibble tul p farm formed an attractive centerpiece for the table at which covers were laid for Mr. and Mrs. B. C. Collins, of Portland: Mr. and Mrs. Henry Walsh of Portland. Mrs. Dave Ir vin of Portland. Otto Irvin of Portland; Mr. and Mrs. Lloyd G. Oantenbeln and small son Jimmy, Mrs. Maria Collins, and James Bunnell of Salem. The Portland guests made the trip from the me tropolis by motor, returning the same evening.

In. vited guests included Miss Ella Bennett. Mrs. Anna King. Miss Birdetta Bennett or Salem. Wal lace and Robert Benentt of Jeffer son. Each Apollo club concert marks a pleasure event in Salem's musi cal life and -with the advent of each concert those who patronize and enjoy become those who ac claim and bear good testimony. With the passing of its concert on next Wednesday; night, the Apollo club will have 'marked the close of the fourth successful season of Its career. Its achievement may not always be sufficiently appre ciated and the much earned trib utes may often be left unsaid, but there are those who have the vf ion and understanding to realize that there is hope for the future when busy, hardworking men will sacrifice of their time and talent week after week that those who choose to do so may indulge the.r aesthetic senses with the rythmic cadence, chord-like harmony and spiritual concept, slowly and stu diously garnered and artlctically and lavishly given forth in the paoe of oiifc brief evening. A program of genuine merit has been prepared by the club for its coming concert. Included are numbers which should please the most fastfdious devotee and it nothing more could be said of Sa lem'a Apollo club, there are none who would deny that it strives to please. Horance N.

BOOK REVIEW "The Sisters-in-Law," by Ger trude Ath'srton. In this Miss Atherton returns to the scene of her early triumphs, her native California. Here, like Prospero. she waives her magic wand-and transforms the setting into an en chanted Isle peopled by the cre ations of her delightful fancy. San Francisco, during its ter rible hours of fire and earth quake, life In Burlingame, its most ariBtocratic suburb, and other places on the peninsula, the futile attempts of the old exclu sive regime of San Francisco so ciety to defy the encroachments of the nouveaux riches, two sharp ly contrasted women, the sisters-Tn-law, and a fascinating English man form the nucleus about which her story is built with deft and satisfying art. The denouement is reached In France amid war scenes startling in their fidelity and intensity. Nowhere in literature is the war situation developed with greater, appeal than In thse experiences of two California girls as work ers in Paris and on the front. The tale is simply told without hysteria if Gertrude Atherton could be hysterical. The situation between the two women, almost equally heroines, is tnse and occasionally drama ticc. and the closing scenes are handled with nerve and dash. Still for all. the book's enjoyable qualities there is a taste oT dead sea fruit on the grapes and oran ges of sunny California. Life is too sad even Paris is dull and prosy, and we long to escape into a purer - air. unclouded by dis tastes of war, seismic convulsions, disappointed hopes and shattered illusions. In short, the reared must sense from tbep? pages, that our poor old world is no nearer Utopia than it ever has been. This book can be borrowed from the Public library. The re view is submitted by a library patron. Wider Knowledge of Law Is Urged by Dean Hale "If we are to enforce the law there must be a wider dissemin ation of the knowledge of law and a respect for it by all classes, de clared Dean W- G. Hale, ot the law department of University of Oregon, speaking before the Mon day luncheon of the Commercial club. "There must be a strict obedience to la-. not only from Miss Mabel Gardner and "R jah," the 4 SO-pound Bengal beauty, who stag a wrestling bout in the Al G. Barnes circus program in Salem Saturday, May irSfSTl 7 one class,' but from all classes of people." "If we were half as active in spreading knowledge of law and Americanism as the red element is in spreading about doctrines, there would be nothing to the red element." he declared emphat ically. "We need an army of one hundred million people mobilibzcd for the enforcement of law. He claimed that the source of complaints against the law usual ly riBe from an experience where the individual feels that he is not allowed to carry out plans with the liberty of action he deserves, although it is usually the case that he Is only prevented from working with unrestrained will for the benefit of the majority. He condemned the man who breaks the law, satisfying his con science wlht the explanation that the law was not just. Dean Hales also advocated a more liberal education for law students. Power Company Ordered To Furnish Propulsion The California-Oregon Power company was yesterday ordered by the public service commission to furnish current to the Grants Pass irrigation district so that water may be pumped onto the district's crops which are suffer ing for lack of moisture. The order is the result of refusal of the company to furnish current and of an appeal to the commis sion by the district, represented by Wilford Allen. The commission orders that current be supplied pending an investigation by the state depart ment. According to Mr. Allen's tele gram the district has signed a contract with Calif ornia-Oifegon company for current for the seas on, seeking the lowest possible rate. The company declined to sign with a so-called clause W included in the contract. It is said this has some reference to short-term provisions. The dis trict then gave authority for elim- FtEFlY. ITU SI Mentho-Sulphur. a pleasant cream, will soothe and heal skin that is irritated or broken out with eczema; that is covered with ugly rash or pimples, or Is rough or dry. Nothing subdues fiery skin eruptions so quickly, says a noted skin specialist. The moment this sulphur pre paration is -applied the itcbing stops and after two or three ap plications, the eczema is gone and the skin is delightfully clear and smooth. Sulphur is so precious as a skin remedy because it des troys the parasites that cause the burning, itching or disfigurement. Mentho-Sulphur always heals ec zema right up. A small Jar of Mentho-Sulphur may be had at any good drug store. Adv. Dealers If ;h'T i n' T town, write uregt'-iir"; our cxceptif.rai o-r new deakri.
