MACON, Ca, March 3.-Women Of
the South are going to play promin-
ent part in the coming Chautauqua of

equitable basis. What can be done
through systematic household man
agement and scientific cooking, home
gardening, improved farming and at
tractive home life; how rural recrea-
ton is related to the high cost of
living; the influence of existing rural
schools on the cost of food products /;
how prices are affected by specula-
ton; what practical plans can be car
ried out for cooperation between
town and country in marketing, with
special reference to roadside COM
munity markets, curbside or free mar
kets in towns and cities, parcel post
traffic and cooperation between city
and country clubs, will all be among
the angles of the high cost of living
problem to be considered A confer
ence will be of the most practical
kind possible and the discussion will
be led by women who are leaders, who
will give their best thought toward
working out a plan of cooperation
through which relief can be gained
from situation that constantly grows
more and more acute.

ENGLAND CALLS FOR
10000 MORE WOMEN

LONDON, March 3.-England wants
10000 more women for her second
line of adyance-the munition factor
les.
The first appeal sent out by the
Ministry of Munitions, early last
month, which called for 5000 women
was Immediately met. Today, in max
ing "a big squirt for the last phase
that will carry the men at the front
into victory" the Ministry wants TO-
600 more.
1--WE want rich and poor alike for
this final effort an official at the
Ministry of Munitions told the Unit
ed Press. In the early days of the
war women with means were asked
to stand on one side to let working
and professional women who had to
earn their livings give service. Now
we want all classes to come forward
and help in the making of munitions,
so that every woman can say in the
near future that she has done her
share"
1--WE have found the physical quail
tiles are no longer necessary for the
work. AS long as the volunteer has
delicacy of touch she belongs to the
right type"
Women are at work now in all the
danger zones and through their hands
entirely munitions go from raw ignot
to the finished articles. They do the
testing, overlooking, packing. sealing
lorrying, and actually place the goods
in railway trucks for the front"

GREAT MUSIC WILL
Be MAIN PURPOSE

MACON, Ca, March 3.-One of the
objects of the Chautauqua of the South,
permanently located at Macon, Ca,
and holding it's first annual session
from March IS to April 7, will be to
popularize great music; in other words,
the Chautauqua of the South will
bring to all people. music in its high
est form at the lowest possible cost to
the community.
The artists engaged to appear on
the programs were selected for their
ability to carry definite message to
tie masses, such as would move both
the trained musician and the I'M
trained layman, as art only in its pur-
est form moves the human heart.
Among the stars who have been Sc
cured for the festival are Anna Case,
prima donna of the Metropolitan
Grand Opera Company; Arthur Mid
dleton the distinguished bass-baritone
Of the Metropolitan; Frances Ingram,
contralto of the Chicago Grand Opera
Company. and others. While all OF
these stars have already won fame, all
of them are still in their prime. Miss
Case is noted not only for her inter-
probation of the great operate arias,
but also for the simple ballads and
folk songs, and it is in these latter that
she will specialize during her visit to
Macon. Frances Ingram's success in
reviving some of the quaint old Eng
lish songs has placed her in the high
regard of the American music lovers,
and is expected to endear her to Chau-
tauqua visitors.
1t is believed that the singing of
simple folk songs and ballads by the
greatest masters of the art will do
more to instilI into Southern people
generally a greater love for soul
stirring music than anything else that
could possibly be done.
While much stress has been laid on
the vocal part of the festival, the or
chestral feature has not been over
looked. for one of the most remarkable
orchestras of the world has been Sc
cured for twelve symphony and orato-
rio concerts-the Russian Symphony
Orchestra, under the direction Of Mod
est Altschuler, noted as one of the
most popular interpreters of the mu-
sic of the Russian people.
The Chautauqua Choral society, COM
posed of 300 voices under the direction
of James R. Gillette, is to be another
important musical feature. The or
ganization of this society which has al
ready been perfected, is only the be-
ginning of the development of choral
society work in the South. Plans are
already on foot for the organization in
various Southern communities of cho-
raj societies as one of the first steps
toward community development.
