Move to Overcome
Traffic Conditions Meets
With Wide Approval

There was general approval to-
day of City Commissioner Lynch's
statement that some real effort must
be made to overcome the traffic con-
ditions in the central part of the
city. Owing to the building opera
tlons of the Penn-Harris hotel,
Third street between Walnut and
Market must be made a one way
street and some similar arrangement
will have to be made in Walnut
street between Third and Fourth.
There is also some indifference of
automobile owners as to blocking
of Market street. This is the principal
shopping district of the city and
many machines are allowed to stand
for hours along the sidewalks while
their owners attend moving picture
shows, baseball games or spend the
time elsewhere.
1t is probable that some definite
arrangement will be made soon to
free these streets of a growing OBJ
struction to reasonable flow of traf-
fic.

MISS BUTTORFF
CHARMS HEARERS
Soprano Heard in Song Re.
cital Wins New Laurels
Last Evening

Last evening, at the Phillips stu
dio, Miss Mary Buttorff, soprano and
soloist at Grace NJ. e. Church, gave
a song recital of unusual interest and
merit. She opened the program with
the "Polonaise" from Mignon. This
was given with clarity and marvel
lous precision in the coloratura pas
sages. and showed her flexible voice
at its best. The group of old Eng
lish songs had n charm all their
own, because of their quaintness and
grace: and also because of the re-
sourceful interpretations given them.
The French group was made up of
three songs of the eighteenth and
nineteenth century periods and one
song by composer still living. The
tone quality in these songs, as well
as the French diction, was very de-
lightful. The fourth group, made
up of American songs, probably
made the deepest impression. Dawn
in the Desert" IAN Indian Love
Song" and the Grey Woif'' were
the numbers given, and stirred the
audience to a high pitch of enthusi-
asm; especially Burleigh's Grey
Wolf" which was delivered with a
dramatic power and insight rarely
equaled on the concert stage.
Group five contained songs by mis-
cellaneous composers, and these
were all interesting and sung with
style and convincing sincerity.
Miss Buttorff showed the true val
ue and usefulness of her beautiful
voice in this program. She did trills,
softer passages, dramatic phrases
and coloratura work all with the
same ease and control. Her voice is
rich in quality and capable at will of
great power, and she was enthusiast
ically applauded and congratulated
at the close of the program. Mrs.
Phillips played the accompaniments
in her usual finished style, and Har-
old e. Malsh played with rare skill
two violin obligatos for Miss But
fOrff

FARM -TO-TABLE
IDEA GROWING

That the people of this section
realize there are possibilities in the
farm-to -to-table movement recently
launched by the postoffice depart
ment is being shown by the local
officials to their satisfaction, says
the Paris Partisan.
So far the matter has not taken
on any very definite shape for the
reason that those havingit in charge
have been unable to give out any
definite figures as how much viii
be bought in this manner and they
have not yet got list of those who
Will supply, and prices for theircom-
modities.
One practical housewife, when
she heard of the plan, said, "Well,
I'm for anything which will reduce
the high cost of living" There are
many others who are the same way,
but like the Missouri man are open
to conviction and are waiting to be
shown.

This, it is believed, will enable
the local merchants to come nearer
to supplyingthe demands made on
them. A healthy increase of the
amount of food supplies here will
have a tendency to decrease the
