"AIDA" HAS
HISTORY OF
MUCH INTEREST

AIDA" was composed in 1869 by
Giuseppe Verdi. at the request Of the
khedive Of Egypt, for the then new.
ly-built Grand Opera House at Cairo.
The khedive paid Verdi $4,000 Tor
the score. and offered the composer
an additional $4,000 If he would go
to Cairo to conduct the work-the
first performance. But Verdi refused
to go, partly because of his fear OF
crossing the Mediterranean. and part
ly because Of the whimsical suspicion
that If he ever got to Egypt they
might maAe a mummy of him. The
first production Of the opera was de-
layed for over a year, because the
scenery and costumes were locked w
in Paris during the Siege in the
Franco-Prussian a When eventu-
ally produced at the end of 1871, be-
fore a large and distinguished audi.
neous success. and it is now undount-
edly one Of the most popular and in-
evitably successful scores in the whole
range of operate literature.
Verdi was assisted in obtaining the
Egyptian story and casting it in
Egyptian setting by his friend Mari
cite. a Frenchman, who had made
many discoveries in Egyption antiqui-
ties in the course of Investigations
pursued on behalf OF the French gov.
eminent. The story centers about
the owe Of Radames. an Egyptian
general. for Aida. a slave Of the Frin-
cess of Egypt: the princess herself is
in love with the general. The general
is selected to lead an expedition
against the king Of Ethiopia. VINO !,
develops later is the father of the
captive Aida. The old, old conflic,
between love and duty ends in the
tragic death of Radames and Ai6s.
The opera is in four actss and many
beautiful scenes. including the Tenn
! PIE OF Vulcan, the great Nile river,
the distant pyramids and the interior
of the temple with the crypt beneath
where the hero and heroine smother
to death. The opera, in all respects
is most spectacular and massive, call
ing for the complete of the
organization, scenically, orchestrally
ana vocally.
Aida" will be given here nex'
Monday night as the first of three
performances by the San Carlo Grand
pera Company.

insofar as IS possible by the costly les
sons OF the war.
And one Of these lessons has been
that the best way to curb the food pro-
fteer is 10 sit on him through broad
government price control
From July, 1914. to July 1917, food
prices in Britain shot steadily and rap
idly upward. They doubled and more.
Then price control was slapped on.
and the advance was quickly checked.
They dropped early this year. Now
they are rising again, but slowly. They
are not soaring as they were before
price control was set up and ss they
threatened 10 continue TO soar.
Price control was first made effective
under direction OF the late Lord Rhond-
do And friends say his personal view
was that some sort Of price control OF
essentials would remain. This Is also
stated 10 be the personal view OF Lord
Rhondda's successor as food controller,
the Right Hon. J. p. Cylnes. NJ p.
though neither man ever committed
the food ministry to any policy on the
matter.
An Indicative OF the success OF food
prices control and the rationing system.
by the way, the Food Ministry is prae-

partment that Is not subjected 10 spas

ENGLAND TO CONTROL
FOOD AFTER THE WAR
BY HAROLD EDWIN BECHTOL.
European Manager Of the Newspaper
Fnfernrise AsSociation.)

LONDON. England. Aug. 6-Govern-
ment control Of the prices Of food sta
pies have come to stay in Great Britain.
This Is the opinion OF men high up in
the direction Of British food control.
For instance, Sir William Goode Of
the Ministry Of Food said today in an
interview for the Newspaper Enter
prise Association:
Il do not believe the prices OF es-
sential foOdstuffs viii ever again be
entirely uncontrolled.
That Is to say. don't think the
people OF this country will ever sub
NIT to the proflteering IN food staples
which has been eliminated by the set
ting up Of control Of food and food
prices by the governdment.
u believe rationing however, Will
disappear after the war Not the day
fighting ceases. nor even the day peace
is signed perhaps, but gradually"
Labor leaders simply take II for
granted now that control Of staple food
prices will not be abandoned

ach Will accommodate 1000 wounded so
5000 beds or more.
The advantages OF this particular
plan over other types Of general hos
pitals for reconstruction are based on
its compactness, which will give 1t in
creased efficiency and facility Of ad-
mlnistratlon. Moreover, It will cost less
TO build, require less acreage and in
volve fewer steps in communication.
The erection OF these hospitals, II
Is felt, would do more than any other
single factor TO facilitate the effective
carrying ont Of the governments plans
for reconstruction" to hasten the
soldiers physical and vocational restor-
alton and his return TO society.
The purpose Of building the hospitals
in each Of the IS military districts Is
10 bring home influences 10 bear on
