Famous Italian Poet.

Correspondence Of Associated Press)
Milan, Jan. 5.-Luigi Illiea, the fa-
nous poet. and librettis who recently
ated the plots. for more operas than
any other writer of the last quarter of
a century in Itoly. He was a. prolific
writer and had such an intimate
knowledge Of the theater. and : its
needs that all composers of his time
turned to him for subjects.
Illica's most celebrated, operas were
written in collaboration with Giuseppe
Giacose and are Boheme, Fedora,
Manon and Adriana. He wrote IRIS
and Maschere without collaboration
and has at least forty less famous
operas to his credit %Catalani; Cileas
Giordano, Franche.ti fnd many other.
composers drew Ipoas him for: plots
and lines.
Although Illica was So years old
when Italy entered the great war. he.
volunteered for service and was with
the artillery for one year. He suf-
fered fall from which he did not
fully recover and vas forced to give.
up military duty. His latest import
ant opera score was that Of Isabeaa.
for which Mascagni supplied the mu-
sic. The opera told the story Of Lady
Godiva and was received with indif-
ference which discouraged Illica.
There was considerable discussion
about alterations made in the libret-.
to by the composed and director and
Illica said the production gave an en-
tirely wrong Interpretation of his
work. 49, g. :;s:-z '.4sss CO &c zss1

Cedar Springs Institution and the State
Board.

Columbia, Jan. Z3.-Representative
J. B. Atkinson, of Spartanburg county.
is the author Of bill TO exempt from
the supervision Of the State Board of
Charities and Corrections the School
for the Deaf and Blind at Cedar
Springs, in Spartanburg county. And
thereby hangs a tale.
Eyer since the creation Of the
State Board of .Clrarities and Correc-
tions there has been wagins a friend
ly warfare between the Cedar Springs
institution and the board Of charities
and corrections. The institution for
the deaf and blind has resented the
idea of being classed with the institu-
tions of charity and corrections.
N. F. Walker, superintendent Of the
school, has consistently held that the
Cedar Springs in:rjtution is not a
charity affair and it Is certainly not
a correctional home. Mr.. Walker
holds that his institution is education
al and should come under the States
education. department. Mr.. Walker
has gone to the attorney generals Of
fee FOR opinions. as has the board Of
charities and corrections. but the
fight" has never ended, it seems.
Mr.. Walker advised Secretary Will
liams, Of the Stat, board Of charities
and corrections some months ago that
he would be glad to have officials OF
the board make inspections Of the
Cedar Springs school unofticially, but
that he would not receive them as
representing the board of charities
and corrections. Officers Of the board
have consequently made visits to the
school and have inspected its work
ing conditions, but so far no ofhclal
report Of these inspections have been
made, because of the fact that the
officers Of the board were not received
officially There has been no person
al animoSity between the schooi ana
the board of charities and corrcc-
tions. but the bill in the legislature is
being fathercd with a view to set
Ting the question Of whether or not
the board Of charities and corrections
comes under the mead Of the States
charity Institutions or its schools. The
Cedar Springs institution bears the
name school and it is thought likely
that the bill will pass without Sc
rious opposition.

Greek Letter Fraternities.

Columbia, Jan. o3.-The fate Of the
Greek Letter Fraternity chances in
South Carolina State educational in
stttut5ens is in the hands Of the Edu-
cation Committee of the House Of
members who apparently are opposed
to fraternities in colleges. Students of
the Dniversity OF South Carolina have
been called into conference with the
COMMITTEES, TO explain the workings
OF fraternities and the reasons why
the students OF the state institutions
want to have a. law allowing such Or
carnations to exist.
The house coIn-nittee on education
called before il Thursday afternoon
Guy Gullick, of Greenvifle, a law stu
dent at Carolina, and also Mr.. Perry,
a former student sof Sewanee but now
a leading member Of the student body
OF the University. These men e3-
planned why the students at Carolina
want fraternites. Representative
Mann of. Pickens a. member Of the
education committee Of the house, is
an enthusiastic worker for fraterni-
ties at Carolina.
AT thes hearing Thursday afternoon
one or two members Of the commit
tee expressed themselves as not being
heartily in favor Of fraternities at
State colleges They expressed opinion
that fraternities have. worked for fric-
ton In colleges. Other members OF
the committee express themselves as
favoring the allowing Of secret Greek
Letter societies
The bin before the house was in
trodueed by representative Berry, Of
Orangeburg. one CT the leading mem
bers OF the legislative body. 1t pro-
yides for an amendment to the pres
ent bill outlawing fraternities to the
extent OF allowing their existence
where the trustees Of the schools give
permission for their existence.
From the expressions on the part
of members Of the education commit
tee, it would seem. that a divided re-
port would likely be introduced on
the bill However advocates Of the
measure are confident. of its success.

APPEAL FOR FUNDS TO RELIEVE
STARVING EUROPEANS

Every city, town and hamlet in the
United States has been called upon to
respond to the call for funds to relieve
starving Europeans, following a state
ment Of Herbert Hoover, former nation
al food administrator, to the effect that
the only way to check the spread Of an
archy in the world is to send the starv.
ing thousands in those countries relief.
In Little Falls, committee has been ap-
pointed to raise funds for this purpose.
The members of the committee are
August Christensen, chairman; A. F.
Koslosky, Warren Gibson, E. J. Richie,
Mrs. L. D. Brown. Asa Curtis and B.
Burton. This committee does not expect
to do any soliciting for funds but the
situation will be thoroughly impressed
upon the minds Of the people of Little
Falls and it is hoped that those who can
will send in contributions to the local
banks, which will send the money to
headquarters.
