MISS EDITH HELENA
MMIss,. EDITH HELENA, whom
 UWil Birmingham remembers so

A MISS, EDITH HELENA, whom lMl Birmingham remembers so vS pleasantly a few years ago as. the bright particular star of the Aborn Opera Company, when she sang so charmingly the role of Madame Butter fly" Lucia de I.ammermoor" and other beautiful operas, is lovely singer but above all things else she is a charming type of woman and a beautiful example of motherhood.
 And besides all this, Miss Helena. by her own confession, is a farmer. Now, what do you think of all that under rhe caption of "Prima Donna Soprano, Grand Opera'2
 Miss Helena and had a delightful lit- tie chat yesterday afternoon just before the matinee round at the Lyric, be- cause it is there she is now singing and delghting large audiences with her lovely Voice. and when she expressed her views on the stage, and ~I,ow absolutely absurd 1t is for people to believe that an artist cannot te great singer and great mother at the same time. 1 was-well-- to say the least of it, bit surprised. for 1t is seldom that you see the combination.
 To be sure Madame Schumann-H -Heink declares that the more babies a singer has the more beautiful her voice is, and Madame Louise Homer has proven her be- lief in this theory by the large family that she has to her credit. And now comes Edith Helena, declaring that to her way of thinking, motherhood stands above and beyond everything else in the world; voice. personality talent-every- thing-and she verifies this by carrying about with her the latest addition to her family, little Dorothy, her three-year-old baby, who tours with her talented mother in vaudeville and couples the stars dressing room" as importantly as the prirna donna herself.
 When I was talking to Miss Helen she was most enthusiastic when she told me about her lovely farm up in New York; to be accurate, at Dykeman. charming section of the country just fifty-four miles from New York city.
 My farm, where my husband and my children and I spend the happiest days of our lives, is perfectly ideal" said Miss Helena "We have 150 acres of the most lovely land you ever saw"
 And do I manage it myseif?' MISS Helena repeated after me.

 Then she went back to the farm agatn. Imagine Lucia and Madame Butter fly preferring to talk about farming better than about singing, and so asked her if her farm wasn't situated among the actors colony of farmers up New York way.
 No. no. Nothing of the colony about it," she answered. There isn't another theatrical person within ten miles of my farm Yes, there is.

We had to fight right straight through it. you know, but now we get along very well when we chance to meet.

CONCURRENT" IN COURT.
Supreme Court Will Decide Whether
Federal Law overrides State Action.

of the wording of the Eighteenth amend

states shall have concurrent powers to en-
force this article by appropriate legisla-

day
The whole issue hangs on the meaning
the court will give to the word concur
rent as it appears in the amendment.
Prominent attorneys both for the govern

this the most feasible attack on the con

tanning one half of one per cent. or more

suit is to bring back light beer and wines
