WILL RAISE PAY
S12O FOR CLERKS
N$2,5OOGRA

Government clerks and employees
will be allowed an increase Of pay OF
$3.50 per year up 10 the $4,000 grade In
the Legislative, executive, and judicial
bill. as II will be reported out by The
Senate Appropriations Committee.
While this has not been formally
settled. 1t develops that this is the
Increase which the subcommittee now
working on the bill will probably
adopt. The Appropriations Committee
is almost certain to follow the recon-
mendation of the subcommittee.
The House provided for an increase
OF pay OF $500 per year UP to the
$1,000 grade. The Senate Appropria-
lions Committee is disposed to extend
the House provision so as to make 1t
apply to q larger number of employees.
The House increase, II was calcula-
ted by Chairman Sherley OF the House
Appropriations Committee, applies TO
240.30o employees. The Senate Com
mittee plan would reach a still great
er number. No official estimates are
yet forthcoming on the total to which
the proposed Senate Appropriations
Committee increase would reach.
Although another fight may be
made on the floor, Of the Senate to
hitch the Borland amendment to the
appropriations for clerks when the
legislative bill Is considered, the SEN
ate opinion against the amendment
has become so settled that there is no
reason to believe it can be adopted.
especially as the Appropriations Com
mittee is going toisidetrack IL.

SEASON
PROVESCAP|TAL|S.
MUS|c-L0V|NG CITY
by j. Mach.

With the music season almost at
its close the significant fact has been
proven that Washington has become a
musicIoving city. Its CHIEF lack in it's
offerings. particularly to the cosmo-
polite who is sotourning here for q
time. is in the matter OF opera.
One opera artist, who was here In
recital this winter, said that the opera
company with which she was associa-
ted, would have come here for a short
engagement, but that II was found
impossible TO house" so large an
organization-with its principles, Its
chorus, and its OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES OF
the present crowded conditions OF the
city. II that is so, 1t is an extenuating
uI,rCrn-,a...c, II not. the reason might
be sought elsewhere.
It comes back to the same old plea
along with the time-hOnored and
weary plant about our national pride
Tor Iack of it, in our National Capital
that cries OF the need for an opera
house, an auditorium, some available
and at the same time attractive place
that could offer the proper atmo-
sphere for grand opera. here al the
seat of Government of these United
states. And not alone for grand opera,
that ia seldom vouchsafed to US, but
also for the many convictions that
would find Il Of practical benefit to
meet where they could be in touch
with national legislation.

the midst Of war. II rasy be that at
such a time, more thap at any other,
the thinking people realize the need OF
holding fast to the refining and the
soul element In life that music, with
religion, sustains.
And speaking of opera. of course,
We love the ola operas that come
to us again and again--there is AL
ways a generation to whom they are

they would offer q most welcome
