Miss Mamie Abel Hays, Soprano
Says Every City Soon Will
Have Its Classic Singers,

That Atlanta soon will have a
grand opera company of its own is
the prophecy of Miss Mamie Abel
Hays, coloratura soprano, who has
just completed a three years study
for the operate stage in New York
and now is spending short vacation
with her parents at 65S Edgewood
Avenue
The day OF American opera is just
dawning," said Miss Hays at her
home Monday afternoon. There is
more and more demand for American
operas with American singers, and
believe the time will come, and soon,
that every city in the United States
will have it's grand opera.
Every Town Has Company.
In Germany and other European
countries, almost every town and city
has a municipal opera house and a
local opera company. The American
people are more broadened in their
tastes each year. 1t is only a matter
classic music, and when they do they
will get 1t.
Il think the main thing necessary
to making a success, next to the
voice, is the opportunity to make
good. Many singers, after spending
years in studying, take the first en-
gagement that is offered them. And
the majority Of them spend the rest
Of their lives singing small parts.
Foreign Trade mark Useless.
Competition has entered the OPP
cratic field. There are three grand
opera companies in New York, anG
the formation of more is contem-
plated 1t is no longer necessary fol
the American singers to go abroad tC
make their debut, for the American
people are getting educated out OF
their habit of looking up to every
thing that is foreign or that has made
a success abroad.
Il think we have as good teachers
in America as abroad, and those with
ambitions TO be singers truly make a
mistake il they go abroad 10 study
unless they have at least prepared
here"

SENATE PAYS
NOHEEDTO
WOMEN
Lower Body of Assembly to Take
Up Resolution Giving SufFra-
gists Use Of Hall,

Contrary TO general expectation, the
Senate made no effort to take from
the table to-day the resolution of Mr..
HUE, of the Thirty fifth, permitting
the use of the Senate chamber to-
morrow and Thursday nights to the
Georgia Woman Suffrage Association.
This means that the resolution now
pending in the House permitting the
women TO use the Hall OF Representa-
tlves instead viii be taken up for &C
tion tomorrow, and a lively time is
anticipated.
Representative John Y. Smith, Of
Fulton, who offered the House reso-
luton Monday, had intended calling
it up for action to-day, but he learned
that move might be made in the
Senate to take up its twice rejected
resolution and put 1t on it's passage
so Mr.. Smith purposely refrained
from agitating the matter in the
House.

Il had heard" said Representative
Smith. that the Senate might recon
slider its action, and l wished to avoid
if possible making even a seeming is

and vigorously urge it's passage.
LAS it stands now, do not wish
my resolution to be considered as a
slap at the Senate, but l do think the

Members Are Stirred.
There are many members of both
bodies who feel keenly the impending
difference of recorded opinion between
the Senate and the Hous that will be
spread upon the journals in the event
the House votes to permit the use Of
its hall to the suffragists.
Senator Converse said he thought
in view of the fact that the House
purposeIy deferred action to-day, in
view of the fact that the House pur-
posely deferred action to-day, in order
that the Senate might reconsider its
actions of Monday, If it cared to. that
the Senate could well afford to re-
verse it's opinion and grant the use of
the hall.
Il do not think the Senate quite IN

to be used by these women entirely at
night, at time when it could not in

the women. The Senate would in no

THE OLD AND THE NEW MONROE
DOCTRINE
(Atlantic Monthly.)

In 1928 we had declared that with

Guam, and the Philippines, writes

Without for a moment wishing to
enter into a discussion of the wisdom
of our actions | desire to emphasize
the tremendous difference between the
old and the new Monroe doctrine This
is not a case of theories and argu-
ments, but of deeds. What are the
facts?
In 1895 we declare that we are prac-

1898 we take a rich American island
from European power and in 1908
we go through the form of preventing

HAVE YOU SOMETHING
TO SELL? - - - -

If so, do you tell the public
about it? If you do, how do
you do it?
And what sort of reputation
is back of the merchandise you
are offering?
The answers to these ques-
tons may spell success or fall
ure to many a merchant,
From an intimate association
with a wide circle of concerns,
merchandising all the neces-
saries of life, we venture to say:
The quickest and surest way
to reach the public is through
the columns of a dependable
daily newspaper like The Times
Recorder-one that has high
standing in the community it
serves, and has the confidence
of it's readers.
The most dependable articles
sold today are those to when
the manufacturer is not afraid
to attach his label-that is to
say, his reputation.
Retail merchants are now
joining hands with the manu-
facturer, and the public is thus
doubly guaranteed against in
feriority.
THE combination of manu-
facturer and retailer plus good,
clean newspaper advertising,
means success to them both,
with the maximum of satisfac
ton to the purchaser"
