LIEUT. MAY HAS NOT
 FULLY RECOVERED
EEIm Hill Aviator Is Suffering from Injuries Received in Fall from
 Plane in Texas.

Among tho unsung heroes of the Apresent war is Lieutenant Frank May, son of MT. and Mrs. Lincoln May, of Elm Hill. Despite the fact that he did not serve in the front line trenches and did not see service in France at all, he was severely injured by fall from an army airplane while flying as an instructor.
 The story of Lieutenant Mays army career is a long and interesting one, but he, like many other soldiers. does hot want anything said about his work. He was a member of the army For several years before the war Started. He served faithfully and well hnd when the chance of a real war oomed up he decided to stay with the army. Seeing that aviation was be- looming a big branch of the service, he asked for and received transfer. #ais former army experience stood him RWelI after entering the new branch of Bervice and his promotion was rapid. Me was stationed at Kelly Field, San Antonio, Texas, after being com- nissioned. On one of his flights, however, he had trouble and fell from khe plane at 8 considerable height. His injuries proved more serious than was thought at first and he was placed Dn the list of casuals and sent to his home to recover. He is not we'll yet md it is thought that he will always suffer from the effects of the fall.
 The May family has done more than ts share in the war. Their third old est son, Private Clifford May, made he supreme sacrifice on the fields of France. Another son, Private Clar- ence May, has been stationed at a eamp in the South during the war guarding interned Germans.

RECKLESS DRIVING
 COSTS BOSCO $25
Evasion of Responsibility Adds
 $5 More to Youths Fine

Fines of $25 and costs and $5 and aged IS, by Judge John H. Kirkham in court this morning for violation of automobile ordinances. The heavy fine was for reckless driving, while the $5 penalty was imposed for the evasion of responsibility in connection with a minor accident in which Bosco figured Wednesday afternoon. Bosco struck a team owned and driven by James J. White, a local livery man, on South Main street, and neglected to stop to ascertain the extent of dam day afternoon.
 About 2:30 o'clock, Wednesday aft ernoon, White was coming up South Main street in carriage in which he and John Darrow, one of his drivers, were riding. Bosco, driving an Over land car, shot out from behind mov- ing van and attempted to "squeeze in'' between Whites team and the moving van, but seeing that this was impos-
 
 his car against the horse and breaking the shaft and harness. He then re- leased his brakes and continued on his way to Berlin. White took his num- Der and had a warrant made out for Bosco's arrest
 Bosco was represented by Attorney Albert A. Greenberg. He stated that he was going about 10 miles an hour AS he neared the truck he attempted to turn out, but finding that he did not have sufficient room, he turned back to his original course. The rear of his car touched the rear of the wagon, he said, but he did not see any reason for stopping and so continued Two boys were in court for breach of the peace and fines of $5 each were imposed. They were placed on pro- bation. The boys in company with about ten others were standing at the corner of Dwight and East streets and when told to move by Officer Frank Hahn, they called him insulting l names. Officer Hahn made the ar rests at their homes later.

that the historians have not treated
him fairly, either as poet or singer
He certainly studied faithfully apd in
dustriously under Terpnos, the finest
kitharist of his day, and it is while de-
scribing his virtues not his vices, that
Suetonius says that his musical per-
formances gave such JOY to the people
that public prayers were appointed to
be put up to the gods on that account,
and "the verses which had been pub
licly read were, after being written in
gold letters, consecrated to Jupiter
CapitoNnus." Abject fattery, Of course.
There were some persons who. rather
than hear him sing, slipped privately
over the walls when the gates we're
shut, or, counterfeiting themselves
dead, were carried out as to their
funerals. But these may have been
either poor judges or prejudiced and
satiated individuals like Petronius Ar
bitter himself, who in "Quo Vadis'
sends the Caesar q letter counselling
him to sing no more and then dis
patches himself before Nero can send
the Practrian guards to lay hands upon
him. This is not quite so much license
as Barber took when in his libretto for
Rubinstein's "Nero" he had Thraseas

Iphigenia," the disturbed preferring to

the song, which, like all that Nero
sang, had at least q noble theme. NJ.
Cain utilizes the same dramatic motive,
but brings it into little greater con-
sonance with history, for the sarcastic
letter of which we hear the conclusion,
in the last act of the opera, is plainly
intended to represent the famous
Satyricon which the veritable Petro-
MUS wrote for Nero's chastisement.
Those who remember Sienkiewcz's
romance will easily be able to recon
struct the story Of the opera from a
few hints which I shall give with in
terpolated remarks on the music
There are five acts, one of them (the
fourth) being divided into two scenes
for the sake of dramatic contrast
The first and fifth acts are in effect
prologue and epilogue to the drama
which is developed in the second, third
and fourth acts. This idea is more

CHAPTER XIV
By II. f. Krehbiel

Unless my memory plays me false,
German writer some years ago, per
haps a short time before the begin
ming of the war, drew striking par
allel between the ex-Kaiscr person
who until recently guided the destinies
of the German people and an infamous
Roman emperor whose end, while ig
noble in the extreme, was not quite
so ignominious as that which is likely
TO overtake William of Hohenzollern.
When Nero Claudius Drusus German-
Gus found that none of his friends
would encourage him by an example
he finally pumped up pluck enough
to try to slit his own weasand, where
upon well-disposed secretary finished
The job for him. But while Nero su-
perintended the warming Of the water
which was to be used in washing his
carcass he Dlubbered out over and
over again his commiseration at the
artistic loss which was to befall the
world when he died. (QuaI art5fer
pere0D L am not sure that the com
parison undertaken by the German
satrist was fair to Nero. That melo-
dramatic public official had been
trained ,ln the rudiments at least of
the liberal sciences; he might have
been something of rhetorician in the
classic sense if Seneca had not dis
couraged him to feed his vanity; he
might have been rated fair to middling
as poet if he had not made mess
his political career; he was, no
a better dramatic singer than,
of the artists at the Metro

that when he set the stage for

Roman Kaiser's ORGIES
Shown In SQuo Vadis'' at

lates the incident which lives in the
tradition which gave sitle 20 Book and
opera-the meeting between Peter and
Christ on the Appian Way, the Apos.
ties question, ~Whither goest thou,
Lord 2" and the answer which sent the
Apostle back to his prosecuted flock.
The fourth act brings to q elimination
the religious element IN the play. Il Is
divided into two scenes, obviously for
the sake Of dramatic contrast, though.
since the composer felt it incumbent
upon him to connect the scenes with an
orchestral interlude which continues
the mood Of the Christian canticles. Of
which by this time every ear must have
long been weary, the effect is most
monotonous and deplorable.
"Pious orgies, pious airs,
Decent sorrows, decent pray'rs,s
are always welcome for a change even
in an opera, but when the dramatic in
terest is centred on rapid alienation
of exciting incidents and variety Of
scene they become tedious if not vexa-
tious. 1t is true that the librettist
seems to have been as desirous as the
novelist to keep the motive in view
which finds expression in the title of
the work, but a theatrical audience ex-
pecting series of pictures of life in
Rome when the empire was sunk to its
lowest level of wicked debauchery can

Contrasted Artistic Experiences
OF the Emperor Nero and
Mr.. HOhenzOllern

designed buildings and statues (thc
figures around the Wagner monument
in Berlin are his suggestions) and
dabbled in the stage management of
the Court Opera. Had he been as
genuinely musical as Nero or Freder
ck the Great he would, no doubt, like
the latter, have sat behind Strauss,
Muck, Blech, Weingartner and the
rest and given them the inspired and
infallible tempo for orchestra and
singers. He might also have emulated
his Prussian ancestor in sending his
grenadiers to bring recacitrant prima
donnas to the opera house, but as a
rule he seems to have left their
management to his precious first born
and heir, concerning whose methods
evidence might be picked up at the
Metropolitan Opera House
An Imperial Blunder
But TO the story of the imperial
stage manager. Although l did not be-
tray the fact last February, there is no
by word of mouth directly from Dr.
Muck. When Muck was assistant con-
ductor at the Court Opera in Berlin
he received instructions to prepare a
gala performance of 'Lohengrin" which
was to be refurbished from the bottom
up at the command of the All Highest.
The young musician was hattered and
proud of the chance to distinguish him
self by putting his personal impress
on so popular a work. He ground his
musical agents to fine edge and called
for a scenic rehearsal. All went we'll
until the curtain opened on the in
terror Of the kemlenute, when he saw
to his dismay, not to say horror,
that the portal had the dimensions
of an ordinary plebeian door. Yet
through this must come sixty Choir
listers, who must enter, make the cir
cult of the room and the bridal pair
and leave the latter to their short
moments of welded bliss, all within the
time measured by the music. He called
the stage manager and pointed out his
dilemma. The stage manager refused
to alter the scene. He summoned the
royal director but he would make no
change, for that scene had been de
signed by His Most High Majesty the
King and Emperor. 1t then developed
that William of Hightaxhouse had wit
messed a performance of "Lohengrin"
gotten up for his especial benefit at
Bonn, and had resolved to show Berlin
what an imperial genius could do with
an opera which told story about a
German King who, let is be said in
passing, was about as far removed in
character from William II as German
icus was from Nero. Preparations for
"Lohengrin" came to standstill until
through the intendant's diplomacy the
permission of the All Highest to widen
the door could be obtained.
Now, this Hightaxhouse person has
not yet gotten into opera, though
fancy that, unless he makes so tragic
an end that his memory will no longer
excite mirth he will some day find his
way into opera boufe. The most puis-
SAINT Of his ancestors, Frederick the
Great, was on the stage for space in
Meyerbeer's "Feldlager in Schlesien, :,
which became metamorphosed into
"LEtoile du Nord," and as such may
have been sung in New York; but that
was because Frederick was flute
player who would perhaps pass critical

Closing Of Theatres
Aids Uncle Sam

The closing of all theatres and
movie houses will undoubtedly
boom the sale of War Savings and
Thrift stamps, according to Sales
Manager ]. E. Fitzgibbon, of the
War Savings organization.
1t seems to me that while peo-
pie are saving dimes, quarters, and
dollars by not taking their families
to the theatres and movie houses
by reason of the closing ofall places
OF amusement, that they might do
some further saving by buying War
Savings and Thrift stamps-a saw
1ng-a real one-for themselves and
a great benefit to the government"
said Mr.. Fitzgibbon.
Il would suggest that all of the
theatres employ young women at
their box office windows-particu-
larly in the Offices of the movie
houses, which are close to the side
walks. Large signs in the place of
the big three-sheetS now occupying
the signboards, with notices of the
movie attractions, would advertise
the stamps, and the fact that they
may be bought at the box offices,
would be clearly set forth.
Boys and girls, who are the
most active purchasers of Thrift
stamps would purchase more and
more of them, if they could buy
them at their favorite movie house,
and the sales of these during the
time the theaters and schools are
closed, would rise appreciably. 1t
is not at all likely that any theater
managers would refuse to put this
into operation if a committee APP
preached them, and for the children
and others who cannot afford to
purchase even $50 Liberty bond,
1t would be a means of skoSing
their patriotism during the coming
week-the final of the Liberty Loan.
1t would also get them in the
habit of purchasing thrift stamps
when they buy movie tickets, and
if the theatres and other amuse-
ments are closed for considerable
time, would make great difference
to Uncle Sam, who needs every
penny he can get"

Hers On N0-Wheat Ration
Keep Up Egg Records

Hens are like humans when they
come to wheatless program; they
don't want substitutes if wheat is
available, but they easily learn to do
without the familiar wheat and get
along just as we'll"
This is J. G.. Halpin's way Of sum-
ming up the objection that the fowls
won't eat other grains than wheat.
and that they can't get along with
out it. In managing the fIocks on
the experiment station farm at Mad
ison, Mr.. Halpin has found in ten
months experience with the wheat
less ration, that the hens have not
only learned to eat other grains, but
that the egg production has not been
lessened. Although the years re-
turns are not yet complete, at least
the usual number of hens in the I'M
iversity flocks will have records of
more than 200-egg production this
year, according to Mr.. Halpin.
One good ration recommended for
laying hens is:
l. Four pounds Of corn and l
pound each of oats and barley, fed
in deep litter, light in the morning
and heavy at night;
q. 100 pounds Of bran, middlings,
ground corn, and gluten feed. 5
pounds of meat scrap, and 2 pounds
Of salt, mixed and fed in the hoppers
all the time.
3. The same mixture moistened
with milk and fed in trough three
times a week;
A. Sprouted oats and mangels;
5. Grit, oyster shell, charcoal, and
water, always available.
Protein, green stuff, grain, and
mineral matter are the four features
of the poultry ration. The greater
the variety obtained, the better.
Liberal feelings of green stuff help
to save the more expensive grain
and mash.
