have turned to the motor truck and
the result has been a revelation to
them. The economic demand for food
conservation has led to the greater
use OF the motor truck through the re-
lease of horses and mules, as 1t takes
the produce of s7.oOooOO acres of land
to support the horses and mules in
this country.
With the proposed wider use of
motor trucks the natural question of
cost Of operation enters into the dis

question can be solved is best Illus

musicians The number is lavishly and appropriately staged and is a high class musical number. and one that is sure to please Birmingham theatre- goers.
 Parllo and Frabito are Italian street singers and possess wonderfully rich voices. They play their own accom- paniments on the guitar and accordion. These two entertainers are high-class musicians and the act is expected to prove one of the big features of the bill
 Another act that will prove espe- cially attractive is Roger Gray and company in "Vaudevillized Musical Comedy" The act is composed of a mixed quartet and is a merry musical meiange of fast. furious, frolicsome fun.
 George Fox and Zella Ingraham are two charming singers who possess rich voices. They style their act a merry medley of melody and mirth.
 The Duffin Redcay troupe are clever entertainers on the horizontal bar aud are said to present an exhibition the equal of which has rarely been seen.
 The bill for the first half of the week will furnish some rare entertain ment and no doubt will. as usual, be greeted by capacity houses. The Lyric theatre. cooled by it's own ice plant is one of the coolest places in the city.

Esterel was chosen as the retreat fo, the voice restoration, that little seeS +stered place unspoiled by fashion, the foreigner, CT the tourist. Am ether advantage of the seclusion was that the baroness who is a devotee as f~ne sports could dispense with hampering skirts and indulge, without comment, in the freedom that wearing boys clothes gives
 The scarcity of preserves in these days and the appeal for marmalade and Jellies for the soldiers prompted these two women to make a trial of marmaiade made from the delicious variety of oranges found only in E1sterel. A few jars were sent to Paris friends and others found their way to the trenches. Back came pleading demands that they should fill orders. and the first modest attempt developed quickly into serious business proposition. Now the new industry IS in full swing with more orders than can for the moment be attended to. A young French artist who Is now a captain of infantry designed the label The brand is called after the village-Esterel The label has q border of 10 oranges in nat ural color In one corner is an orange tree balanced by a glass jar of marmalade in the other illustrating the wording which says, "An orange in the pot is worth 10 on the tree" Assisting this decorative scheme is a narrow ribbon of the French colors tied around the neck of the jar.
 The paucity of packing material was an obstacle to be overcome. The situation was saved by the friends of lovely pink ish heather and sweet smelling mimosa which are the substitute for paper or other packing stuff. The jars are held securely in place by masses of the bios- soming heather over the top of which is a large spreading branch of yellow mimosa.

through one of the side streets in the city, heard a child singing to herself as she played in the tiny garden-attached house, how the chauffeur was peremp- torily ordered to stop and the final an ncuncement that the great prirna donna had taken the child as a protege, and that she was then en route for Europe to be put through the mill of operatic training?
 f Silence has since shrouded the move ments of the musical prodigy, and it seemed like a resurrection to be so strangely brought face to face with Ma rion Badger Henley on the vine-trailins balcony at Esterel in the south of France It was she who was singing and the other American, Baroness de Bran- Eecker, by birth a Hungarian, by mar riage a British subject, was playing her accompaniment.
 A double purpose holds these two young women in Esterel-a ruined voice to be brought back to it's early beauty and marmalade making on large scale which is to, meet the needs of an insufficient supply of preserves in France. The spur is patriotism not necessity
 When Marion Badger Henley arrived in Europe she was put in the hands of a Paris teacher with a name. Little by little the rarity of tone disappeared and the girl with the dreams awolSe. It was to learn that her voice was teacher ruined. For a few years all thought of singing was abandoned and then came the meeting with Baroness de Brannecker.
 Baroness de Brannecker comes of an Interesting family, a family in which the arts-music, painting and wood carving play the chief part in the daily routine.
 Her mother who died two years ago at self were gifted. The Paris home is the receptacle of superb pieces of hand carved furniture, the handiwork of the baroness.
 Her mother woh died two years ago at the age of S4 played the piano like a yirtuoso till the last year of her life. It was like page from the Arabian Nights to listen to her "reminiscences. Her first husband was Michael Lattis, son of an Austrian official who ran away from home at the age of 20. This was in 1926. He went to Bosnia where he embraced the Mohammedan faith and took the Turkish name of Omar Then he was appointed tutor to the children of He's sein Pasha, who later sent him to Con- stantinople where he became an army of ficer He rose to the rank of Pasha and led the Turks in many successful battles.

AMERICAN SINGER GIVES HER TIME
 TOAD THE FRENCH
By Days She Makes Jam and Marmalade and in Evening Delights Peas
 ants With Music

Paris March 9-Passing through the little chateau village of Esterel on the way to Cannes, where the perfume of orange blossoms was so pungent that it made the air heavy. I suddenly heard song in voice so pure, so altogether exceptional in it's quality that I could not forbear to stop and attempt to discover it's source.
 From the roadside I peered into a luxuriant tropical garden and in the scented twilight saw two young women on the balcony of the chateau, one sing ing, the other accompanying her on a riano, while below them was a group of French peasants, listening spell-bound. It was quite evident that this was no casual gathering, and on questioning one of the pea sants l was told that the ''artstes" were 'Americas,' and that every night after their work they were permitted to enter the grounds for the joy and relaxation of hearing them play and sing one takes liberties with like nationality, so, on this presumption, 1 went to their door. The welcome of 8 friend was forthcoming and gradually there was unfolded a tale that has more than the usual novelty.
 Who do you suppose the singer proved to be? Do you not remember, some years ago, the columns that were written about little Marion Badger Henley of San Fran cisco the child with the phenomenal voice? How Calve, who was singing in opera there, one day while motoring
