The Metropolitan Company Gives
''Pique Dame" Russian
Opera of Strength
and Beauty

which provided one of the points of
high light in the Metropolitan season
Of 191213. Lermontow and Gogol
arc other names which come to mind
as men whose writings have found
their way into Russian operas. In
view of the fact that no composer Of
our day has enjoyed a popularity like
that Of Tschaikowsky it was little
strange that we had to wait so long
before hearing one of his operas.
"Pique Dame" had been promised in
the season before in an Italian YER
sion under he title LA Dana di
Pcchi"; it was heard on this occasion
in German and, if the circumstances
had urgently demanded, might have
been sung for the greater part in Rus
sian since there were so many Slavs
concerned in its Anna
Meitschik Leo Slezak, Adamo Didur
and Adolph Muhlmann-all the prin-
cipal characters but one.
Pouschkin's story is much more
contentious than that of the opera
book The composers brother in
adapting it was obliged to expand it,
not only for the sake of the stage
spectacle which Pctrograd and Mos
COW demand, but also to create SYM
pathy for its principal characters. In
tho original story young Lieutenant,
oLsessed by the gaming mania, fright
ems an old woman to death in an effort
to extract from her the secret of her
success at cards--a success which has
given her the sobriquet of "The Queen
of Spades" He gets it from her
ghost, plays the three cards enjoined,
wins on two, ventures his all on the
third, but at the moment which should
be his final triumph the ace of hearts
in his hands changes into the queen
O. spades, the spectre of the woman
whose death he had accomplished con-
i1onts him, and with his last penny
II ere goes with him also his last
gllmmer of reason. He is sent to a
lcadhouse, but the young woman in
the story remains as scdate and dec
orous in her behaviour as Goethe's
Charlotte and marries a man of her
choice Modest Tschaikowsly added
characters and situations 10 this
story, created betrothal between the
heroine and royal parsonage whom
she did not love, made the motive of
the hero's mania a desire to obtain
money enough to enable him to marry
and sent the heroine to self-destruc-
ton because love of money had sup
planted love of her in his insane mind.
So, too, he sends the lover to self
inflicted death and gives the specta-
tors a moment, but only moment, of
commiserating sympathy for the ILL.,

EXPERT OPPOSES
FLU restrictions
Says Stopping Of Business Is
Costly and Ineffective.

Taking the position that quaran.
tine if effective. would have to be
sweeping in its nature and last
throughout the winter, Lieut.. R. E.
Davis, of the United States Public
Health Service, who was sent to
Clarksburg by Surgeon General Blue,
to investigate the flu situation in
that city, discouraged the idea OF
placing any kind of quarantine in
an effort 40 check the local epidem.
ie After an investigation of local
conditions, Lieutenant Davis stated
that he thought the crest of the cpl
demic had been passed.
At the conclusion of his investiga-
ton Lieutenant Davis announced
that conditions did not warrant plae-
ing a quarantine on the city, and
gave it as his personal opinion that
such procedure would do little if
any good.
Suggesting that the best way to
fight the disease was to take all pre-
ventive measures possible and to
conduct a city-wide campaign of ed
ueation is the best methods of pro-
tecting the individual against the
germs of the disease. Lieutenant
Davis said one of the best ways to
avoid the disease was to wash the
mouth and nasal passages twice
daily with solution of salt and wa.
ter, to keep regular hours, and avoid
poorly ventilated rooms and crowd
ed places. There is no more danger
in wei ventilated sanitary school
-eoms, theatres, or lodge rooms than
there wa in walking on the streets

DIG HERDS Gone
World War Wastes Europe 5
Meat Supply.
American Stock Ralsers Cooperate
With Food Administration in Con
servation Measures.

1t is probable that Europe for many
years after the war will look TO a
great extent to America for it's meat
supply.
Europes herds are dwindllng under
wars demands faster than they can be
replenished.
Wien the German armies retired
from occupied portions of France and
Belgium approximately 100000 head
of cattle were appropriated This adj
dition virtually safeguarded Germany
from cattle shortage other nations now
suffer.
In England some 100000 acres OF
grass lands have by compulsory meas
ures been forced into grain production,
thus reducing pasturage and hay lands.
A declining scale Of maximum meat
prices for live cattle was ordained in
England, as follows: For September,
S1776 per hundred pounds; October,
SIPS; November and December,
S160S, and for January, S144O. The
evident intent of this measure was to
drive the beef animals into market as
soon as possible.
According to official French figures,
| the cattle of France have decreased To
a total of 1884, 900 as compared with
14,S07, 900 in 1918. Today, due to lack
of forage principally, France is pro-
ducing only ono gallon of milk where
before the war two and one-half gall
Ions were produced.
Meantime the United States food ad-
ministration has taken steps to con-
serve our fiOcks and herds and TO in
crease their numbers. The stock breed
ers of this country show disposition
to cooperate with the government in
this.
For many years it has been prac-
tice among many of the dairy people
of this country to kill male calves at
birth and in many instances the fe-
males if not needed to replenish their
herds rather than 70 to the expense OF
maturing them into veal. The high
prices of meat caused the virtual dis
continuance of this killing Another
encouraging fact is 70 per cent. Of
calves killed for veal this year were
males
Somebody has very aptly said that
the wars of the world have been won
with grease, meaning that bacon and
lard have been as essential to success
in war as powder, which is true.
The hogs of Europe have been very
greatly sacrificed to present day weeds
This makes the American burden al
the more heavy and makes doubly es
sential an increased pork production
in this nation. In Italy grain is now
forbidden to be fed to hogs In Den
mark under recent order one-fOurtf
of the hogs were ordered to be killed
1t is estimated that one-half have nov
been killed
