S. ; Rankin, director of the hospital and orphans sections of the Duke Endow ment, has written Senator Simmons expressing his gratification at the sen ator’s effective efforts in behalf of n satisfactory adjustment of the inheri tance taxes which carried without amendment haye rested very heavily on the hospital funds of the Duke En dowment. Dr, Rankin calculates that the income from the millions saved; the Duke Endownment together with supplementary income will mean 25,- 000 people provided annually with | hospital care. His letter follows: “As I wired you yesterday, X am elated and profoundly grateful for your interest and effective effprts in behalf of a satisfactory adjustment through the new tax bill for the heavy inheritance taxes which, under the law of 1924, would have rested dis tressingly heavily upon the hospital funds of the Duke Endowment. , “While human values, such as the avoidance of unnecessary grief and sorrow of parents for children and children for parents, relief from in terest and zest in the ordinary tasks of life and increased happiness, be weighed in the scales of personal ex perience, certain farts stand out which, though falling far short of in thg far-reaching effects your, successful efforts to amend tht> new tax bill in the way it has been agreed upon, vaguely indicate how large and, fine a service you have gone far toward accomplishing, i .- - i “To save the sum of siX' or <Hght. millions of dollars to’ hospitals will make available annually‘an income of 8400.000. It will cost about a’thou sand dollars a year to maintain cotti. pletely Wnff occupied at all times a hospital bed. $400,000 would then maintain four hundred hospital beds. Each bed during the course of the year will have a turn bVer* of about twenty five patients, so that, the four hun dred beds will provide treatment ‘for ten thousand sick people, with the average "general hospital' stay of 1 twelve to fourteen days each. “In the way jhat the‘funds of the hospital section of the' Duke Endow ment will 6c spent, it is reasonable to expect that they will be supple mented by contributions from the communities in Which they are spent, both from voluntary organizations, churches; city clubs and county anil city officials. It is very probable that for every forty cents which the Duke Endowment spends in hospital care, the community will spend sixty cents. In this way the $400,000 will stimulate and indirectly provide a hospital fund of a million dollars for the care of those who can not pay hospital bills. This means then, in stead of 10,000 people treated annu ally,’ 25,000 provided with hospital care. “I am sure that one who has served so faithfully and so greatly, fully real ises that a goofi service is its own sufficient reward. Nevertheless, the satisfactions of life do not suffer through Hhe consciousness that they are shared by onr friends," nnd the purpose of this letter is to tell you how thoroughly we appreciate what your service* in this important matter mean.” Calls For Correspondence. Washington, Jan. 25.—OF)—The House naval committee today asked the naval department for all corre spondence with the air craft develop ment corporation backed by the Ford interests poncerning the building of an all-metal dirigible. The committee acted after Assist ant Secretary Robinson of the Navy, bad declared $300,000 carried in the naval appropriation bill for such craft had not been reqeucsted by the Navy Department and he personally saw no need for entering into a contract for such a ship. In t general discussion of why the item was placed in the bill, Represen tative Vinson, Democrat, Georgia, de clared he examined the appropriation committee record and found only one question asked by navy officials touch ing on the subject. ’ Another member, however, said Carl Frltsche, general manager of the Air -1 craft Development Corporation, testi fied on tb's question.

LOST CHILD THEME OF NEW ORATORIO “Guardian Angel” Is Title.—Deals With Colonial Days in North Car olina. Lawrence. Kou„ Jan. 25.—The legend of the child lost in, the forest and protected from wild beAste ns by a guardian angel is the theme of an oratorio, "he Guardian Angel." writ ten by Prof. Charles Sanford Skilton of the University of Kansas. Its premier production will com J this sirring at the meeting of the Kansas Federation of Music Clubs. Into the oratorio is woven much of (lie religious spirit of the Moravian settlement of 1705 at Salem. N. C. Many quaint customs of tin Morav ians are brought out.. Prof Skilton learned the legend while teaching, at the Women's College- Saleiu, soon after completing' has musical educa-i tion in , Europe. The Moravians jiad juovtsf south wartp from their earlier , settlement at" Bethlehem, Pa., and bad endeavor ed to make homes in the miljs of North Carolina. ’lt wAs’ (heir cqs-' tom to divide church' congregations' into ' choirs.'' ohe of which wAs' com posed entirely of children.'At stated seasons Of'thh'j’ea'r' each choir held a love feast. The ohi Idrep observed this custom on Christinas Kv>, when they sang a song beginning, “Jesus makes' my heart rejoice.” 1 This song furnishes -the cMitrnl. thread for the oratorio, whrdh is di vided into three sections. In the' first section a group of children seeks; permission tp, play in a meadow' >vhcre mefl ,qre : working, . near a forest. The story is told in a dialogue of one child with. ,jts mother. The mother demurs, but upon consulting the “text book" and finding' the text for tije day, "He shall ■ give His apgels charge concerning thee,” con sents to allow the child to go to the meadow opt into the forest. The child, however, is tempted by bright blossoms at the .edge of the woods, nnd wanders deeper into the timber, becoming'lost and falling to sleep. In thq second section the child awakens, hears voices -of its play mates and attempts to answer their calls but con not. The child is held down as if by a great band, the til* sealed by the fingers of the hand Gradually the voices die away and the child is able to make its way to thi edge of the clearing where it is found. The searchers discover the tracks of a panther end their pious belief that an angel sent from heaven to prevent the child crying out, and thus attracting the animal. The third section takes up the re covery of the child, and the music returns to the colonial, simplicity of the opening chorus. The middle sec tions, however, are developed along modern musical lines. The production on Ms for five seJo voices, a children's chorus of 500, a mixed chorus of 300 voices and sym phony orchestra. The libretto is by Abbie Harwell Brown of "Boston, writer of children’s stories and poems. ‘"tbe point of view of the orn torlo,” said Prof. Skilton. “is to re produce the piety of the founders of America, both ns represented in the New England colonies and in some parts of the South. -It is truly American in its production and in its characters. The writing of . Ameri cans, in their own way, is, I be lieve, the only way to develop a real American music.” Government’s Request Denied.
