peveIopment of opera.

Opera has made extensive strides
during the last century, although its
origin is very remote. 1t came through
a gradual course of development from
almost the beginning of the Christian
era; earliest librettists were such emf
nent men as Aeschylus and Sophocles,
who accompanied their spoken drama
with a band of Tyres and flutes.
But grand opera, as we understand
it today, originated about the end of
the sixteenth century, when JacopO
PERKS opera, 'Dafne," was first pre-
scented. 1t originated through the
gathering of a small party of music
lovers at the home of d Florentine no
bleman. Theories grew into actuali-
ties when a performance of ''Dafne''
was celebrated in the palace of Corsi
in 1895. This opera was successfully
performed several times, but always in
private, and now the score is not dis
coYerable.

POWER OF THE PRESS.

The power Of the press largely was
responsible for the splendid showing
made by the Southwestern division Of
the Red Cross in the big Christmas
membership campaign. The South
west was given the task Of getting
10000 new members. As q result
Of the splendid publicity campaign d.
rected by Louis LaBeaune Of St.
Louis and the businesslike orSaniza-
ton effected by John l. Johnston ana
George W. Simmons, chairman Of the
campaign and Southwestern manager
Of the Red Cross, respectively, this
district got nearly three times its
quota of members, leading all the 9th
CT II divisions of the Red Cross in the
United States
Mr.. LaBeaume very properly gives
proper credit to tbs newspaper and
other newspapers OF the Southwest for
the splendid results obtained In the
campaign.
In these times, when self-ahneg-
ton is absolutely necessary in every
walk Of life, it is a pleasure to record
that the newspapers of the Southwest
are doing their share to help win the
war. In the campaign just closed the
newspapers contributed their valuable
space to the cause, while Bdr SIN
mons, Mr. Johnston and Mr.. La
Beaume contributed their services
and their time.
