The Washington Opera Company,
Edouard Albion, general director. closed

ance of "Aida" this week. Eva Grippon
sang the role of Aida and Romeo Bos-
cacci that of Radames in place of Mary
Cavan and Otakar Marak. who sang the
roles at the two other performances.
Miss Grippon has q dramatic soprano
voice, rich in quality, and sang the mu
sic artistically and dramatically. She
was not, however, the conventional
ark-skinned slave, either in costume
or makeup Mr.. Boscacci is. not a
stranger in Washington, where he has
appeared with the San Carlo Opera
singing of the role of Radames was
dramatic and finished, and his pure and
resonant tenor voice was well suited to
the score.
This production of aida" was one of
the best and most elaborate ever seen
in Washington, in beauty Of settings
and costumes and the freshness of the
voices in the chorus. The local MEM
bers Of the cast gave artistic and fin
ished performances and the whole would
be a credit to the best professional COM
panies.
The opera comique Of Le Cercle dart

formance Of La Mascotte'' this after

FOR STEAMER INSPECTION
Raise Due Regardless of War, An
nual Report De-
clares.

Increased pay for inspectors and
other employees of the steamboat in
spection service is recommended in
the annual report of the service, made
public today. The reason their pay
should be increased, says the report
is because their wages should have
been raised regardless of whether
there had been war condition or
whether there had been any increase
in pay outside of the government
service.
The force inspected and certified
&,O51 vessels, with q total gross ton
mage of 15,621,399. Licenses were
issued to 1854 officers of all grades.

sulting in loss of life was 1872. The
total number of lives lost was 40,
of which AZ were passengers. OF the
lives lost, AS were from suicide. acci-
dental drowning and other causes be-
yond the power of the service to pre-
vent, leaving q. loss of 325 lives as
fairly chargeable to accidents, COL
lisions. laundering. etc. There was a
decrease of 73 in the number of lives
lost as compared with the previous fiscal
year. Passengers to the. number of
36S.S70,327 were carried on vessels
required by law to make report of the
number of passengers carried. Divid-
ing this number by AZ, the total num-
ber of passengers lost, shows that

Another Dairy Rejects
Paper Milk Containers
Borden Company's Presiden,
Says Public Prefers Bottles.
and They Cost No More

Patrick D. Fox, the newly elected
president Of the Borden Farm Prod
ucts Company, announced yesterday
that his firm had abandoned further
conside of the use of paper con-
tainers for milk. He said that he had
conducted an inquiry into the use Of
the containers and had decided against
them. despite the opinions of various
investigating bodies that their use
would aid in lowering the price Of
milk
Mr.. Fox cited the failure of the
Truxton Dairy Company to perma-
nently establish milk in paper con-
tainers OF the New York market He
declared that not only were the con-
taincrs inadequate, but the consumers
were dissatisfied with them because
they could not see the CREAM line
Of the milk or its cleanliness.
"The failure of paper containers as
medium of milk distribution is a
direct challenge to the theorists who
have been urging their use upon u.s.
more satisfactory to the general pub
lie, but they are also just as inex-
pensive on the average as the paper
containers
by its failure to turn from the
bottles to the containers, the public
demonstrated conclusively that it be-
lieves the large distributing firms
are doing their best to deliver milk
at fair prices and do not begrudge a
reasonable profit to the distributors"

DIR. Butler Analyzes
Need of Americanization
Conditions Laid to Shift in I'm.
migration Center and Neglect
to School Native Youth

Immigration from Southern Europe
and neglect to schoo1 our youth in the
fundamentals of democratic govern
ment are to blame FOR the present ne
cesslty of a campaign Of Amcricaniza-
ton, Dr.. Nicholas Murray Butler told
the Iowa Society last night at its an
nual banquet, at the Hotel Commodore
"Why is it that al! over this land
we are for the first time discussing
Americanizaton and the meaning of
America ?" he asked
There appear to me to be two rea-
sons. The first is to be found in the
fact that during the last generation
the center of emigration from Europe
to America has moved from point not
tar from Antwerp to u point considera
bly, southeast of Budapest
"The great majority of the immi-
grants who came to US 4 generation
ago, came from countries where civil
and political liberty had long been
established. They brought with them
background of understanding of
American political institutions and of
sympathy with them. 1t was. there
fore, not difficult quickly to assimlate
them.
III he majority OF the lmmi migrants
who recently have come to our shores,
however, are drawn from countries
where tyranny in ono form or another
has been the rule from time i'm
memorial. They are quick to resent
even the restrictions which free men
put upon themselves in order that
they may be free.
"We have not, since the emotional
effect Of the Civil War passed away.
done any effective and widespread
work in teaching the fundamental
principles of American government
and lie to the youth Of the country.
"Wc are now to teach the meaning
Of America, not only to the alien i'm
migrant from eastern and southern
Europe but TO the boys and girls born
on American soil, of parents who were
themselves born in America
Among the former Iowans present
were ex-Statc Senator Edgar r.
Brackett, Of Saratoga; former Secre-
tary Of the Treasury Leslie NJ. Shaw
and J. H. T. Main, president Of Cor
neil University. Twenty-Five Iowa
boys, members of the 18th Infantry
who were on the Powhatan, were
