rhe imper'a' Vincenzo Reschiglian
conductor-Roberto Moranzoni'
Taking the place of geraldine farrar
at the last moment, Nine florenSe
Eoston last evening scored notable
snccess in "Niadama Butterfly" in n
sniritcd but somewhat uneven per-
formancc of Puccini's great WORK
The principal reason for her success
;s that her Interpretation of the role Is
essentially different from that OF MISS
Farrar Nine. Easton's conception OF
the part is far more delicate than that OF
Niss.Farrar, and the entire role is sung,
acted and dressed in much more quiet
tones. The first act was not promising
of the results attained in the second
and third. Nine. Easton seemed to be
a little nervous. and this mental condi..
ton was reflected in both voice ana
acting. In the second act she had re-
covered from this and gave really hne
performance. Nocally, the part pre-
sents little of difficulty to a singer, who
has almost the technique Of a colora-
tura. and her trueness of intonation
and clearness of enunciation were large
factors in her eminently satisfactory
delneation of the part.
Mr.. Hackett made an excellent Pink
crton, and somehow, perhaps because
he is an American himself, made the
role less offensive to the average Amer
lean hearer than is usually the case.
particularly after peculiarly offensive
rendition last season. His high. clear
voice. with its liberal use Of the full
chest tones. was shown to fine advan-
tage throughout. but the particularly
convincing feature Of his work was the
| contrition shown in the last act. when
he rose to heights Of acting which he
has not hitherto exhibited. at least to
Philadelphia audiences. Perhaps for the
same reason the Interpretation of the
part of Consul Sharpless by Mr..
Chalmers was histrionicaly more con
vincing and fully the equal vocally OF
any that has been done here for long
time. Miss Fornia made thoroughly
satisfactory Suzuki. Edna Kellegl
looked we'll as Kate Pinkerton, ant
the minor roles were well done

usually the case with a Puccini opera

The best way to delay the hard

If the workmen of America would
take TO the banks the money which
they now spend on monographs, Jew

simply a case of the laws of nature
working out in their just and inevita-
BILE ways.
The foreign exchange situation will
prevent Europe from buying as much
from US as they otherwise would and
it will cause Europe. to send to US
much more than they otherwise
would. This means that our exports
in 1920 will be less than in 1919 and
that imports in 1920 will be more
than in 1919. This again is only
right and natural.
We profted from the war and ac-
cumulated the majority of the gold
supply of the world. but we can't
keep it as nation any more than a
family or individual can keep their
money definitely 1t is said that there
are only three generations from
shirtsleeves to shirtsleeves. Stats
tics show that this applies to nations
almost as it does to individuals.
Of course, business is going to fall
off in this country 1t is only just to
the rest of the world that we should
now give them a chance. We have
been manufacturing goods for the en-
tire world while Europe has been at
war. 1t is now only natural and
right that Europe should have its
turn.
This means that profits in this

days of profteering on the part of
employers, age-earners and mer-
chants are approaching an end, There
will be no fall in prices for while
yet, because many orders are stlll
untitled.
When the tide turns, however, the
sheep will run just as panic stricken
ly downward as they are now run
ming upward. When prices are going
up they get a momentum which car
ries them beyond their normal point.
When they are going down they get
similar momentum which takes
them beyond their true value. TINS
is especially true at the present time
when so many merchants are order
ing more goods than they really eX-

they won't get delivered all those
they have ordered. This means that
there is going to be great cancella-

turns.

Americans should not be surprised
at the foreign exchange situation
The reason the mark, franc and lire
are so cheap is because they have
been so cheap.
Paper money is just like flowers
OF anything else in this world What
there is a lot of we don't care for.
If roses were as common as daisies
they would sell at the same price.
If we had many apples as we have
potatoes they would be as cheap.
The truth is that there are nineteen
tiles as many marks in Germany to-
day as before the war Also there
are six times as many francs in
France. There are seven times as
many lire in Italay.
Another reason why exchange is
low is because it is for the interest
of men in Europe who owe money
to have money deprecated The
cheaper it is the more man can get
for day work and the quicker he
can pay off his debts.
Manufacturers in these foreign
countries, who run export businesses,
bare also interested in keeping the cur
rency deprecated They get gold
for the goods which they export and
they pay their labor in deprecated
currency.

man who has got a lot of money, but

Move Started for Female
Head of Educational

WASHINGTON, Feb. 11.-Will the
next administration see a woman, for
the first time in American history,
occupying post in the Presidents
cabinet?
The start has been made to this
end with a growing sentiment throu-
ghout the country, now strongly re-
flected in the utterances of the lead
ers of both political parties, for the
creation of department of educa-
ton in the government. 1t has been
given increased momentum by the Sc
rious undermining of Americas edu-
cational system through the depart
ure of efficient instructors who found
their meager salaries insufficient to
meet the increased cost of living and
were forced to seek better paying
jobs.
inquiry among the political leaders
and a number OF the presidential
candidates revealed to day that the
Republicans to embody in their plat
form at Chicago a recommendation
for a secretary of education in the
cabinet. Will Hays just returning
from long series of conferences with
regional committees OF the party IN
the West, said that the sentiment for
this new department was striking ev-
erywhere he went.
Mary Garrett Hay of the women 5
division of the national committee,
who has just completed tour of
twenty-nine states, reports finding the
same strong demand for an education
al post, with a woman as secretary,
among women with whom she talked.
This position, of course, is backed
up enthusiastically by suffrage lead
ers, both Republican and Democratic
and now that the ball has started roll
ing it is believed that the women'S
organizations will get behind it and
push it at the conventions and in the
Forthcoming campaign.
