Mascagni Produces
 New, Timely Opera

Rome, June 10.-(Correspondence of the Associated Press. )--Pietro Mascagni, known to every one as the composer of Cavalleria Rusticana, and numerous other musical works, has written a new opera, "Il Pccolo Marat," which is characterized here as distinctly revolutionary step in operatic works. It contains no per sonalities as characters in the story, but it substitutes for them symbolic representatives of virtues and ideals similar to the American pageant.
 "1 expect to produc emy new opera next winter in Rome," said Signor Mascagni, to the Associated Press Correspondent. "The theme is found on the conflict of ideas between the autocrat and the democrat, being op- pression and freedom The time of it. of course, is not limited to any one many periods and would just as read | fly appl yto the stirring times of the American Revolution as it would to the French revolution or the Russian and the Batavian.
 "I have no characters in the pro- l duction representing any particular personalities. There is no Napoleon, Metternich or Garibald. My char acters represent the ideals for which men have striven. and also the ideas which have endeavored to keep main in subiection. There is a character for Justice, for Truth. for Freedom, and on the other hand, for Tyranny, for Ignorance, for Wrong. The plan in my work has been to depict in song the evolution of man from a slave to a free man through the in- strumentality of characters repre- senting the abstract qualities for which man fought, and on the con trary. the qualities he fought to put down."

THTRIFT FOLLOWS BARBECUE

On occasion the organizers of War Savings Societies have their lots cast in most happy places, and the reports that find their way to headquarters are of real interest.
 c. P. Stark, one of the Arkansas 1ield workers, on recent visit to DaAville. Yell County, went through one of these experiences, and his re- port to Moorhead White, state direc- tor at Little Rock, was replete with a happy relation of the facts.
 Stark was evidently unaware that the mcmbers of the Yell County Bovs' Pig Club and the Girls Canning Club were to have field day on that par ticular time. The down town streets were deserted, many of the stores were closed, and inquiry revealed the reason.
 Stark followed the throngs and was just in time to reach the place of assembly. before the huge joints of juicy beef. lambs and fowls had been removed from spits and placed above trenches dug deep in the ground, where a bed of glowing embers was even yet adding a coat of brown to the meats, and was freeing savory odCrs that conjured up visions of the .casts enjoyed by Robin Hood and hls forest rovers in the heart of Sherwood torest in Merrie Eng land

Predicts American
 Opera by American Composer Soon

"The music of the negroes is so entrancing, and it will have it's part Tn the musical achievements of Amer ica." So said Pletroc Mascagni, the great composer of Rome.
 He expects a great American op- era to be produced by an American composer, with an American theme. which shall crystalline Americas musical attainments. This work. he said, was shaping itself in the ef- forts America is now making in her music halls and conservatories.
 A great American musical compost tion will certainly be produced soon, and 1t will reflect the real life of America. Music which is so pop ular there. The strains which take the popular ear will repeat themselves in this new work. It will be the ex- pression of America in all her social. economic and artistic life, and will be another step in the greatest musical productions of the ages. It will sym bolize America just as Russian music symbolizes Russia. and Italian, Italv
 The negro music, as we'll as the ragtime. will have their part in the great future productions.

GIRLS ENJOY STAY IN SUMMER CAMPS
 OF N. ARKANSAS
Experience Shows It is Unnec- essary to Leave State for
 Healthy Diversion.

Miss Florence Thain, an efficient employee of the Cotton Belt bank IS spending her vacation at Camp Mira michee, at Hardy, Arkansas, with fifty Other girls and young women. The following letters received from Miss Thain gives a clear description of the the camp. and some of most interest ing things about the life surrounding it.
 Editor, Graphic:
 "As per your request, l will write you a description of this camp, and what we do.
 "Hardy is in the Northern part of the state, near the Missouri line, at the beginning of the Ozark, and on Spring river.
 "There are several camps here including the Camp Fire Girls, and the Boy Scouts. A number of people. most of them from Memphis, have summer cottages here.
 "This camp is located about two miles from Hardy, way out in the woods. South Fork river runs on one side of the camp. !
 "The camp consists of large screened hall and porch and eight cct- tages. We have all our gatherings in that hall, and sleep in the cottages.
 "There are thirty girls and wo- men here now, all of them from Mem phis except me-several of the girls come every summer which speaks we'll for the camp l tnlnk. Next week there will be about fifty of us.
 "This is what we do. In the morn- ing we put on our bathing suits. and take plunge in the river. After breakfast we go on hikes to different places of interest. Its rough walking here,, and steep climbing sometimes, but we have so much fun; we usually take our kodaks.
 "At eleven a. m. we take a swim. There are three swimming instructors here.
 "After dinner we read or sleep un- til it is cool. Then we play games, and at five p. m. go in for another swim.
 "After supper we sit on the bank of the river and sing. The river looks so wonderful in the moonlight.
 "Some nights we have stunt night and all of us perform. There is a victrola here and we dance often. We also fish and row. n everything.
 "We are invited to the Bow Scout initiation exercises tonieht. We are looking forward to that.
 "We have the best things to eat here, and they taste so good after a hike or swim. We have chicken\nearly every day for dinner.
 'cWe sleep on sleeping porches. and it is so nice and cool. l have been sleeping under two blankets. It was hard to go to sleep at first. hearing all the wood noises. But now they don't bother us, but rather Hull us to sleep.
 with kindest regards,
 |" Sincerely.
 FLORENCE THAIN."

WHAT THE WOMEN
 GAN DO TO HELP
 EX-SERvICE M
Many Ways for Women to ,] in Making and Finding Joh
 for Ex-Fighters.

The helping our thousands of ., vice men to find a place in civT life with the least possible loss time and effort is no less ioh the women of the United States N' it is for the men. It is a iob s a sex, and rather fitting iob in. at present. 1t seems, for the wom, oe he country to undertake as tIJ first pig 1..>k s:Ice the federal w iraYe arr endment, .Iow on its snss way toward ra: fie at on and adonfs g. a ,ational law.
 The omen can .ltl1 n a very pr tical !;.>nlt =: tire ways: First. They can enter the fl and do the actual work that the m are doing. Much of this work con sists of conducting investigatmI among employers. This great ca,I paign for unemployment of our fgT | ing men is carried on by volun workers entirely-except for depatl mental agents of the government MI have been assigned to it-and if N can enlist the aid of some of oa women, who do rot have all ha time occupied, we shall be adding 1 our strength materially.
 Second. The women as citizens, \ public housekeepers, can do a gra work in the Spruce Up" campaia The war department is urging m , vate manufacturers, owners of 6 tates, buildings, home etc., to remi their buildings, their walks, tha roads, and thus provide employmel for the returned service men unt our impending labor shortage becom an actuality, and they may be put to permanent jobs.
 Women know best of all what O schools, our parks, our health age cies, need for improvement, and wo en can, even better than men, Wa this campaign for better public stitutions. The Spruce Up" ca paign we feel to be a most valua method of solving the unemploym problem because it works for a dou good. Repairs during the war W at a standstill and as a result badly needed all over the countr!
 Third. Women can, through tn multifold organizations, lend
 weight of moral influence, of fin cial assistance, of public support l the campaign. We should like cry woman's club in the country of us solidly, by deed as we'll as word. We should like every wom organization to pass resolutions confidencein and support of
 great patriotic movement, and should like, as a follow-up to th resolutions, a soldiers employm committee formed for every such ganization.
 i Women are already helping us great numbers, but we need all we en. The war is not over until ind try has reassimilated all worke and until our disorganized industl world is once more on a standardi normal basis. The sooner all won get behind the movement to fit s diers and jobs together, the sool our end vii be accomplished, and sooner we can say with truth that

 Then the boys told about their venture in pigs. and the handiwork of the girls ill the art of food preser- vation Was dwelt on in words, and their wares sampled.
 But this was not all. Thrift had a place on the program. J. c. Cham bers told If lne value of the campaign oi thrift planned by the United States treasury depar' ment, and how, what the boys aH0 girls had accomplished Was the outgrowth of that campaign.
 He explained the value of the war savings societies that were springing up all over the country, and told the boys and girls that all they had accomplished would count for naught dld they not practice real saving. He told of the advantage of thrift stamps and was savings stamps, which he said would pave the way tor prosperity, when those who were boys and girls now had reached man. hood and womanhood. Chambers said there should be at least 95 such counties in Yell County.
