Between Moody's and The Broadway don't want people to applaud me; I want them to fall in love with the 'cello. I suppose the 'cello is my favorite instrument because it reminds me more than anything else ol the human voice." As a 'cello propagandist Piati gorsky is a decided success. "Pia tigorsky's playing has helped to bring something close to a renais sance in 'cello playing," according to the music editor of "News week" magazine. "He, has spurred wide public interest in an instru ment which, long extolled for its virtues in ensemble work, has been rather grudgingly acknow ledged as a first-rank solo ve hicle." , It is a direct result of Piati gorsky's influence that more emi nent composers are writing for the 'cello today than ever before. Piatigorsky was recently soloist with the Boston Symphony in a new concerto written especially for him by Hindemith. Boston had heard him the year before in the world premiere of Prokofieff's concerto, another great work for 'cello and orchestra. Piatigorsky has performed with the Chicago Symphony in Conduc tor Frederick Stock's own 'cello concerto. And wjth the New York Philharmonic Symphony, under the direction of Arturo Toscanini, he introduced the Castelnuovo Tedisco Concerto. Toscanini himself started his career as, a 'cellist, but as the 'cello's true worth as a solo in strument was not recognized at that time the Italian musician turned to conducting. Pitigorsky once said: "I hope and believe the time will come when many people will study and play the 'cello, when composers will devote more of their atten tion to its repertoire, when all the world will love to hear it. When that times comes I shall be very happy." That time, If not already here, is rapidly approaching. And Pia tigorsky is largely respbnsible.

Eye strain Is more than muscle strain it Is also nerve strain and If not corrected, can cause numerous, apparently unrelated aimcuities. That headaches are reduced fifty per cent, on the average, when visual defects are corrected and the body relieved of its struggle to offset eyestrain.
