'From Stone Age to Twentieth Century in New Guinea'
By the Rev. J. D. BODGER , of the New Guinea Mission
(From Birmingham)
THE REV. J. D. BODGER is priest-in-charge of Dogura, the chief mission station of the Anglican Church in New Guinea, and headmaster of the Boys' Boarding School there. His work embraces road-making, building, teaching, doctoring, and translating, and a good many other activities. At his school there are upwards of 120 boys who between them speak about twenty dialects. Mr. Bodger has travelled inland through the mountains to villages where no white man has ever been seen before. Some of the tribes are very fierce, but he has never actually seen a cannibal.

THE KOLISCH STRING
QUARTET:
Rudolf Kolisch (violin); Felix Khuner (violin); Eugen Lehner (viola) ;
Benar Heifetz (violoncello)
Quartet in C sharp minor, Op. 131
Beethoven i. Adagio, ma non troppo e molto espressivo ; 2. Allegro molto vivace ; 3. Allegro moderato; 4. Andante, ma non troppo e molto cantabile;
5. Presto ; 6. Adagio quasi un poco andante; 7. Allegro
ALTHOUGH in seven movements, this big work is meant to be played without a break. It is very unusual in design, and neither Beethoven nor any later composer ever made one again of a similar pattern. The first movement is actually a fugue, at moderate speed, dignified and impressive. The following allegro is almost like a harking back to the older suites, in its shape, and then we come to a typically Beethoven movement, a splendid song-like theme with seven variations. It is wound up by a return to the theme and some elaboration of it.
The next movement, too, is such as Beethoven has often given us elsewhere, a big scherzo with a two-fold repetition. It is followed by another slow movement, in song form, with two sections, and only in the last movement do we meet the traditional form in which string quartet movements, especially first movements, are usually cast.

(20.45) An appeal on behalf of THE NATIONAL COUNCIL FOR THE UNMARRIED MOTHER AND HER CHILD, by Lord
GORELL, C.B.E., M.C.
LORD GORELL is to appeal today for the National Council for the Unmarried Mother and her Child, of which he is President. This Society, which works for the amelioration of the lot of illegitimate children, has done much in the last fifteen years to change public opinion on this difficult problem.
Several valuable legislative reforms have been secured since the Council's first parliamentary Bill was introduced in 1920 by Mr. Neville Chamberlain. In the Individual Enquiries Department each year about a thousand mothers are advised and helped, without distinction of creed, age, social position or nationality. The Council's policy is to prevent the total separation of the child from its mother if this can be avoided, and to persuade or compel the father to meet his share of the financial burden.
The Society is entirely dependent on voluntary contributions.
Contributions will be gratefully acknowledged and should be addressed to [address removed]
