SALEM
On October 20 at 4 o’clock the
Music Department of Salem Col
lege rendered a very delightful con
cert. This recital was given com
plimentary to the members of the
Western North Carolina Conference
of the Methodist Episcopal Church,
South.
A feature of especial enjoyment
was the music rendered by he col
lege orchesra under the direction of
its capable leader, Miss Susan
Webb. The lovely “Spanish
Dance” proved a most fitting num
ber for the opening of such a pro
gram as was presented.
Miss Lillian Watkins rendered a
piano solo, “Romance” by Sibelius'
with delicacy of touch. “Hun
garian”, MacDowell, was played by
Miss Louise Young with equal skill
and talent.
Two vocal selections were pre
sented ; the one “Recitative and Aria-
Angels Brigh and Fair”, Ilandal,
was sung by Miss Ruth Roediger,
and the other— a. “At the Making
of the Hay”, Liza Lehman; b. Morn
ing, Speaks, by Miss Mildred Con
rad. Both numbers received great
applause.
Miss Mary V. Jones artistically
rendered an organ solo, “Selections
from Gounod’s Faust”, Clarence
Eddy.
De Beriot’s “Ninth Concerto” was
he violin solo by Miss Sarah Yost.
This number was received by the
audience with wonder and apprecia
tion. Miss Ruth Pfohl played on
the harp, “Fantasie. from Lucia”,
Bonizetti-Cheshire, with her delicate
soft touch.
In conclusion the orchestra
played a group of selections which
were much enjoyed by all who heard
them.
Immediately after the recital
various members fo the Junior and
Senior classes escorted the visitors
through the college campus and
buildings. All places of interest
were pointed out to those who were
at Salem for the first time.

MACDOWELL CLUB PRE
SENTS INTERESTING
IMPROMPTU PROGRAM.
For several weeks, indeed since
the beginning of the campaign for
membership in the McDowell Club,
the entire faculty and student body
have looked forward with eager an
ticipation to the first Saturday night
picture show. After the disappoint
ment of three weeks ago the interest
was twice as great and everyone
was preparing for an enjoyable
evening on last Saturday, with
Thomas Meiglian as entertainer.
But Fate, in the form of the United
States Postal System or the Amer
ican Express Company, intervened
and the disappointing news event
around that the picture had not
come.
Then the Executive Board of the
McDowell Club asserted itself. Un
willing that the event should be an
entire failure the officers of the or
ganization taxed their ingenuity and
put on an impromptu program of
music, reading, and jokes under the
efficient leadership of the Prsident,
Miss Duncan. From their new
station near the steps at the right
hand side of the platform the college
orchestra under the direction of
Miss Webb, played a number of
selections. The Academy girls and
the College Glee Club each gave
songs which they had planned to
sing during the intermission of the
picture. After the Glee Club had
sung a new Salem song the words
were flashed on the screen and the
whole audience was asked to join in.
Everyone was interested in the win
ner of the prize which had been of
fered for the best jokes. One after
another the jokes that had been
turned in were thrown on the
screen and the audience enjoyed
many a hearty laugh over witticisms
old and new. Finally the prize one
appeared and Miss Duncan awarded
the prize to Constant Ellis of the
Academy. The singing of the old
rounds by a large gathring is al
ways productive of much amuse
ment. Mr. Vardell started the
crowd out with the simple “Row,
row, .row your boat”. That proved
easy so he complicated matters by
asking those in the rear of the hall
to try “Three Blind Mice”, while
those at the front sang “Brother
James”, thus producing a perfect
medley of indistinguishable sound.
The most interesting and original
part of the program was a reading
from “Pickwick Papers” by Rev. G.
O. Heath, better known to Salem
students as “Our Mr. Heath’s
father,” He stated at the begin
ning that it had been many years
since he had given the selection be-

The Separatist movement’s gaining
fast
Though no one knows how long
'twill last.
Up and down, up and down,
rises and falls the tide of Separa
tist supremacy. Instituted last Sun
day with a surprise, it has gained
quickly, but has lost just as much.
When a Rhineland Republic was
announced at Aix-la-Chapelle, ev
ery one blamed every one else,
though no one really considered it
serious. Berlin insisted that the
Republicans were merely alarmists
and though they made a noise like
a revolution it was all noise and no
action. It was also stated that the
fault was largely Franco-Belgian,
and if they would “take their fin
gers out of the pie” affairs will
go back to normal. France, on the
otlier hand, held Berlin responsi
ble for the disturbance.
For ten days the Republicans
held Aix-la-Chappelle without force,
but on Tuesday it was lost, with
Muenchen-Gladbach. At the same
time, Coblenz and Duisburg, towns
with important situations on the
Rhine, were captured. French
troops have been of very material
aid to the Separatists, because they
interfere whenever blood is shed.
This occurs only when Loyalist
troops try to prevent the Republi
cans from entering anywhere or
leaving a place.
There is much dissatisfaction in
Bavaria, with the strict action of
the Stresemann government, and
the leniency shown Saxony, a So
cialist uprising is fared. In Berlin
the workmen are demanding wages
paid in real money within three
days, and threatening a general
strike. One loaf of bread, at pres
ent, costs five and one-half billion
marks, which sounds exhorbitant,
in reality, is not so unreasonable.
One probable reason why the
workingmen want real money is
that, as matters stand, it is quite
impossible to carry around an
hour’s wages in one’s pockets.
