Mr. C. W. GIBBONS;' South America
—The Chaco Indians '
THE Chaco is a part of the Argentine in South America which lias never been explored : it is covered with forests, which contain very valuable and rare woods and marshes. It is occupied chiefly by tribes of wandering Indians, and it is them and their customs that Mr. C. W. Gibbons is to describe this morning. He was in the Chaco for five years as a member of the South America Missionary Society.

SCHUBERT SONGS
Sung by LESLIE HOLMES
Wanderer's Night Song (Goethe). Peace reigns over all things : wait but a while, ere long thou too shalt rest.
The Lime-Tree. The singer muses sadly on the old tree, in whose bark he used to carve words of love.
Love hath lied, and hot tears of bitter sorrow fall on my checks.
My Healing-Place. Grim rocks, the rushing streams and echoing woods are my resting place as I wander sadly onwards.
Das Rosenband, a lovelorn musing on the thoughts awakened by a bright red ribbon.
The Ghostly Double. Brooding before the house where once his love dwelt, the singer sees another there who wrings his hands ; suddenly the moon reveals the spectre as himself.
The Fisher Maiden. Come to me, dear fisher-maiden, and trust my faithful heart, as every day you trust the .ocean.

Professor ARNOLD PLANT (Sir Ernest Cassel Professor of Commerce, London School of Economics): 'Capital'
LAST week's talk in this series, on modern advances, due to science, in making full use of natural resources, leads naturally to this evening's subject—Capital. For capital is essential for technical apparatus. Is there enough capital ? Accumulation in Europe since the War has been less rapid than before; and there is a vicious circle, in that ability to save depends to a great extent on industrial prosperity. Social change also has some effect on saving ; and this has been affected by education and other Government measures. Professor Plant will deal with these influences upon capital this evening. In his next two talks he will discuss some effects of the technical changes of the century in industry.

QUARTET
Quartet, in D Minor, for Strings (Op. 56),
Voces intimae
Andante; Vivace; Adagio; Allegretto; Allegro
SIBELIUS' theme is almost always his own country, its rugged strength, its grey hues, its indomitable spirit in the face of enemies—grim Nature herself, and foemen on two of its frontiers. It is too big a subject to be expressed in the homely, fireside tones of chamber music ; the giant voice of the orchestra is needed to tell of anything so stark —forbiddingly stark it often seems. That is no doubt why he has called his one string quartet ' intimate voices.' They always are, these four voices which blend so happily, but hero Sibelius may well be revealing something of his personal outlook on life, something of his own joys and strivings. The quartet, composed largely during a visit which he paid to London in 1908, is in five movements, full of wonderful variety in detail, and yet each true to its own mood throughout. The contrasts which tradition demands between one section and another of the same movement are given us here by the whole movements themselves. Within its close-knit compass the work is as characteristic of him as any of his music in the larger forms; it appeared in 1909, his forty-fifth year.
