CONVENTION HALL.

The following tribute from one OF
the best known critics in America
was recently paid to Nine. Frances
Aida, who will be heard at Conven-
ton Hall Tuesday evening. october
Is: There was one grand opera
singer who occupied a unique niche
in the hearts OF American people
Possibly not until last night has any
one come very near to the supreme
height in which the memory or
Nordica, the lamented, has lived.
Perhaps in attitude no less than in
her great beauty Frances Aida bears
hint of n magnetic appeal welded
by the great soprano whose lire
was marked for tragedy. Last eve
ming Nine. Aida admitted that es-
pecially in Chicago she is thought to
bear a striking resemblance to the
beloved singer.
One OF the most eXquisitely beau
tiful women on the stage today,
Madam Aida seemed at close range
even more seductive in her lowell
ness for the mobility of her counten-
ance and the pure line OF her throat
and chin carried a continual appeal
| to the aesthetic sense. a queenliness
OF carriage united with a pretty lit
tie manner of lifting her head in
responsiveness to her audience,
deepened the warmth OF the greet
ing. Round about her curling chest
nut hair that simply dressed low at
| the neck, she wore a tiara OF linked
| jewels. the design copied from the
famed shoulder straps OF Maria
Antoinette, Nine. Alda's bandeau
was of diamonds over turquoise blue,
matching her costume. and set in
! platinum. One jewelled pendant
dropped over her brow. The front
of her gorgeous dress was embroid-
cred in silver and Jewels in graceful
bird winged form.

"ADOPTING GROWN-UPS."

ADOT lIN8
Sounds funny, doesn't it, to have
Adopting Grown-ups" the title of
story on a Junior Page? I don't suppose
any of you ever heard of a grown-up be-
ing adopted. Now listen, and I'll tell you
how it can be done.
There is one thing that every one of
our Junior readers can do better than
some grown-ups (now don't get puffed
up about IT'D and that is read, write, and
speak English. Some of these grown
ups may be very we'll educated in some
other language. Perhaps they know
Hebrew, Russian, German, or Yiddish
beautifully. But having come to this
country already grown-up Gust imagine
yourself going to live in Argentina at
the age of twenty-fve) they could not
very we'll go to school and learn the
language of their adopted country. You
probably know number of such people.
Maybe this is true of your father, mother,
uncle, aunt, or cousin. Suppose, then,
you adopt that person and teach him
the English language. Get out your old
First Grade Reader and start right away.
Not so very long ago movement was
started in this country called "Ameri-
canization" American born citizens be-
gan thinking that this country was not
doing the right thing by their immi-
grants. They came here thinking that
everybody would be nice and kind to
them and that they would lead pleas
anter life than they did in the old coun-
try. But most of them were sadly dis
appointed. We left them to struggle
along the best way they could, hardly
paying any attention to them. Was it
any wonder that some immigrants didn't
love our country as they should, and
didn't even care to become it's citizens?
We are now trying to do better by them.
The Americanization movement is aim
ing to reach every foreign born grown
up and teach him the language and ideals
of this country.
If you adopt grown-up, whether it
be your neighbor or relative, and teach
him the English language you will do
your share towards Americanization. You
will be doing a war service. Besides
you will get bushels of fun out of it and
learn a good deal yourself You don't
have to go very far out of your way to
do it. The home is the best place and
if you are short of books, the nearest
library branch will be only too glad to
supply you with books for foreigners.

suggestion? We would like to hear from

JUST AMERICAN.
BY Edward Menkin.

"Just today we CHANGED to meet
Down upon the crowded street,
And I wondered whence he came
What was once his Nations name. I"
So asked him, "Tell me true,
Are you Pole or Russian Jew,
English, Irish, German, Prussian,
French, Italian, Scotch or Russian,
Belgian, Spanish, Swiss, Moravian,
Dutch, Greek or Scandinavian"
Then he raised his head on high,
AS he gave me his reply,
"What I was is naught to me
In this land of Liberty,
In my soul as Man to Man,
1 am just AMERICAN"

ORDERS POLITE

BurlesOn Issues Statement to En-

Courteous to Patrons.

Postmaster General A. S. Burle
son has issued the following gen
eral order bearing on the relations
of telephone employees with the
public:
"Ofice of the postmaster general,
Washington, Dec. 2, 1918. To all
telegraph and telephone employees:
"A number Of letters are being
received at the department stating
that patrons OF the telegraph and
telephone service are not always
accorded courteous treatment by
the employees; also. that when COM
plant is made the employees fire.
quently state that the delay or
other trouble Is due to instructions
issued by the postoff1ce department,
when such is not the case.
The telegraph and telephone
systems are operated for the bene-
fit of the public. and our first duty
Is cooperation with as we'll as SER
vice to the public. All employees
of the telegraph and telephone ser
vice must exert every effort to see
that messages are tran smitted and
delivered In the quickest possible,
time. Those who come IN contacts
with the public must at all times be
courteous and obnging. Indiffer-
ence or non-concern In the rela-
tions with the public or the ser
vice rendered will not be tolerated
and must give way to a spirit of
interest rather than that of indif
ference in the performance of duty.
Close attention to duty and cour-
teous treatment involve no hard
ship and cost nothing. but mean
much to the public. In the gov
ernmental operation of the tele-
graph and telephone systems the
cooperation of all supervisory offlc-
ers and employees is earnestly de-
sired. Those in charge will be held
strictly accountable for the service,
also for the conduct of the en-
ployes under their supervision to-
ward the public"
