AGAINST GERMAN OPERA
(New York Tribune)

Mmme. Frances Aida, operatic prima donna and wife of General Manager Gatti- -Casazza of the Metropolitan, de- clared herself yesterday in sympathy with the movement of the New York County Organization of the American Legion to prevent the singing of Ger man opera in the German language.
 'I have no hesitation in saying that Wagnerian opera can be sung in Eng fish or Italian without the slightest detriment to the composition and that it's rendition in either of these tongues would be more pleasing than in the original German" she said.
 T have no interest in German opera no matter in what language it is sung, said Mime. Destinn.

STILL A DANGER FROM MINES

(Walter Wood in the Continental Edi-

 There will be no sadness of farewell when the sweepers embark for the last time. Most of them have had more than enough of it, and want to get back to the older and more profitable game of fishing.

Postwar conditions have not had any effect on the motor industry in Arizona according to figures obtained at the office of the secretary of state. Cars are coming into use faster in the state than at any previous period.
 During the month of September SPA motor vehicles were registered at the office of the secretary of state. Of this total number 77S were automobiles and 51 were trucks.

held on the roof Of the wanamaker store.
It will be changed to a covered court
event and request win be made to the
executive committee of the United States

The difficulty in securing suitable
quarters caused the sudden shift from
an indoor to an outdoor event. Per-
haps It may be news to some that a

court with a roof over It. Covered
means that the surface of the court ia
covered with linoleum of the kind known
as 'battleship" linoleum.
The two courts on the roof Of the
Wanamaker store are in big wire cages
and can be protected from the wind by

been provided so far this winter, It IL
perfectly feasible, however, to hold 9

LUNCH VENDORS TO
STAY OFF SIDEWALK

Box lunch vendors on Washington
streets must put their foods on wheel
carts and keep off the public side
walks after June Z. An order to this
effect has been issued following a
meeting of the Board of District Com
missioners.
Commissioner Brownlow said yes
terday 1t was the general policy OF
the Commissioners to improve the ap-
pearance OF WashinEton's sidewalks.
This was one step taken to this end.
The Commissioners suggested that
these lunch box vendors set up their
boxes inside of public buildings,
whore there would be no congestion.
Permission to have a lunch box in
the District building will be given,
the commissioners announced.
The lunch vendors will have 70 OBJ
tain a permit in the District building
in order to sell lunches on the carts,
the Commissioners said.
The practice OF allowing food to be
sold from boxes placed on public side
walks was done because of war time
conditions. About a week ago the
vendors were ordered to be off the
sidewalks by May 30, but the time was
extended ten days at the meeting this
morning.

War Workers Colony
OF $4,000 To Be Here
For Many More Years

Washington's war colony Of 100000
Government workers, drawn from all
sections of the United States. is here
to stay, at least for many years, in
the opinion of Government officials
who have undertaken the tasks of re-
construction.
1t will require at least ten. years
for the Government to dispose of all
the problems arising out of the war
and its reconstruction program will
be so large by that time that half Of
the number OF war workers here now
will be in Washington for all time.
The War Risk Insurance Bureau, the
biggest single independent war agency,
will be years in paying out allot-
ments and settling death and dis
ability claims, and after that part of
it's work is performed will face per-
manent tasks in the discharge of the,
business relating to the insurance OF
Americas fighting men.
These facts were made public today
by figures given out by Herbert 3.
Brown, head Of the United States Bu
reau of Efficiency. Since the begin
ming of the war this bureau has
busted itself with the problem OF
co-ordinating Government activities.
It's inquiry into the efficiency of the
various Government departments and
war agencies, particularly with re-
spect to those bureaus dealing with
after-the-war problems, will extend
over a period Of several years.
War Added $4,000 workers.
There were approximately $4,000
employees in Washington
before tho United States entered the
war. Since that event the number
has steadily increased until it now
has reached the 100000 mark. This
figure is given as the permanent war
by Mr.. Brown, but the

A representative Of the paper,
whose veracity has never been
questioned, made the dis ,overy
at 4:49 p. m. yesterday at Fiji

at SOL p. m.
A street car inspector at a
prominent corner, who is married,
and doesn't want his name men
toned, is able to confirm the
statement.
It is understood that half hose
cost less than full length hose.
This has not been verified, as 1t
appears to be automatic.

her name changed to "HigIey."

she Is carried on the Government rolls

that everybody knows her as "Hig-

as "HigloiGh" when, as a matter of
fact, she Is known by the 'Higley"
