GRACE.

Dearest Mother:
I have been to the American Ex.
press Office twice for mail, but there
is now no hopes of hearing from
home till another ship arrives. sup
pose we will move on tomorrow and
have our mail forwarded to Rome in
case any comes before we return.
The Opera was wonderful last
night, and it will stand out as one of
the memorable events of our trip
over here. This is given at the "Na-
tional Academy of Music" and is the
biggest thing IN Grand Opera in the
world. The building is a most artistic
and imposing structure in a central
part of the city, and your first i'm
preston is, it seems almost waste
of space. There are large halls and
promenade galleries, and standing
around everywhere are officials in full
evening dress including the high silk
hats and white gloves. They direct
you where to go, and there is an in
terpreter for every language. To
show youwith how much system they
have this business carried on, we
were careless enough to lose our tick
cts which I wrote you we had bought
a week BEFORE. and in Two minutes
they had located our seats without
any tickets at all. They had our
names marked on chart and we were
identified by our pictures on our pass
ports.
The Opera given was the Legend
of St. Christopher" set to music by
a French composer named Vincent
d'Indy. The composer was present
and personally conducted the entire
performance. This emotional French
audience would rise to their feet and
even yell at times, in giving him an
ovation, and if so much as whisper
was heard during any part of the
performance, they Kissed their disap-
proval of such discourtesy. These
people love art with such intensity,
that if you do not behave yourself
or show a lack of appreciation for its
beauties, do believe they would just
as soon pitch you out as not. At the
close of. each act the entire audience
Edgefield advertiser. [volume] (Edgefield, S.C.) 1836-current, 1921-03-09

would go outside in the !promenades
and walk around or odrer drinks, OF
even go to a cafe in the Rotunda and
orden lunch. A bell rings warning
them to return and in a few minutes
all are seated. A pin fall could be
heard in that huge crowd of attrac-
tive, almost breathless auditors. It
lasted four hours and was almost one
o'clock when we retired. Tonight
Samson and Delilah" will be given,
and tomorrow night :'Rigoletto,
either one of which 1 would rather
have seen, but could get no tickets.
You can go to any of these for the
remarkable sum of forty cents
about the price of common movie
at home.
While it seems wonderful, I sup
pose it is the crowds that render tins
possible for the house is packed for
every performance, and it is hard to
get seats at all unless you apply
weeks beforehand. It was hard to
follow the story as it was all in
French, but we enjoyed the music,
the acting, and the dancing just the
same.
We have just returned from a visit
to Napoleon's tomb. He is buried in
the Rotunda of the "Invalides,"
which was closed today, but by brib-
ing the keeper he slipped US in
against orders. These people cheat
the Jews" They will do anything for
bribe, and if you don't tip them,
they'll demand it, and will quarrel an
hour if the tip doesn't satisfy their
greedy souls. Granted everything is
cheap here, but when you include
the tips demanded, you have paid; a
good price for it all.
Goodnight dear, and God bless you
always.

Why Colds Are Dangerous.

It is the serious diseases that colds
lead to that makes them dangerous.
They prepare the system for the re-
ception and development of the germs
of influenza, pneumonia, tuberculosis,
dyphtheria, scarlet fever, whooping
cough and measles. You are much
more likely,t to contract these diseases
when you have cold. For that rea-
son you should get rid of every cold
as quickly as possible. Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy will help you. 1t is
widely known as a cure for bad colds.

Queer Cures Of Long Ago
Roasted Mouse A Remedy For
Cannon Ball Wounds

Alchemy and medicine. as it was
practiced in the early part of the fif-
teenth century. had many strange be-
liefs.
Among them was that roasted
mouse would cure cannon ball wounds
If it was bound tightly to the fracture,
and old blood could be made young
again by TRANSMISSION. Every star
beam was thought to be thread of
light that ran directly to the head OF
some living man. His fate was deter
mined by its action.
1t was also believed that rock cTys-
tai was ice that had been buried 1000
years, and that gold was once lead,
that after being buried 200 years
changed to arsenic and 200 years after
that was changed to tin and then TO
silver and last to gold.
A favorite treatment for gout was a
tea CT daisy petals. and cures were
many, although the real secret was
in the fact that physicians put the
patient on a diet and rest cure went

Complains Of CentInued Noises On

TO the Editor Of the EueHing Capital:
For several. nights. We. and other
residents living within ear-shot of the
sounds coming from the lot adjoining
the Rescue Hose Company have been
deprived OF rest and quiet till the
I'VE sma'" hours OF the morning We
had hoped that Saturday night was
the finale. Alas. again. last night was
made hideous by the weird sounds OF
the trombone, and the yelling and
whooping. during the intervals OF the
dance numbers, till y o'clock mid
night.
If some OF the residents living on
Murray avenue, were annoyed and
kept awake by the noise coming from
this lot. what chance did those living
within a few feet from this same OBJ
jectionable noise, get for sleep.

NO HUMAN AUCTION BLOCK FOR
MARYLAND

New York City's official pro-
test against the auction block for
jobless men will in all probability
mean the end OF this particular
form of agitation. The chief agi-
tator himself, Urban ]. Ledoux
after making futile efforts to hold
a meeting i'll the metropolis yes
tcfday, called it off on the ground
that TO hold it would result in
trouble and probable injury to
many persons. 10 prove the firm
determination OF the authorities
TO suppress these misguided and
dangerous activities in stirring up
the forces of unrest that tecm in
New York. the police there show
ed no hesitancy i'll using force to
the fullest extent necessary. In
one instance, the accounts state.
Strong arm methods were used
to disperse crowd of several
thousands who bad gathered" In
view of this attitude. Lcdoux'S de-
cision to "cafl off" the auction is
easily accounted for.
Governor Ritchie's prompt ac-
ton in expressing his disapproval
OF the revival OF the auction block
as a means for jobless men apply.
ing for work determined at the
outset the manner in which such
revival would be treated in
Maryland. and prevented the pos
sibility of outbmsts, OF hysteria.
such as occurred on Boston Com
mon, taking place in any city OF
this State.
Ledoux. the mysterious auc-
tioneer philanthropist. W h o
frankly admits that he con-
tributes nothing to the support
of his family, his larger" calls
outweighing the minor demand
of three meals a day and a roof
over the heads OF his wife and
children. has never even suggest
ed that he would include Balti-
more among the cities he propos-
ed visiting in the course OF his
auctioneering efforts.
Labor officials and the Amer
ican Legion have finally suffi-
ciently recovered from their sur
prise at Ledoux's methods tc
voice their disapproval OF them.
and have urged the Mayor OF
Boston to forbid the use of the
Common for any further demon-
stration of the sort.
The evils of rcsorting to these
sensational methods to call atten
ton to unemployment are almost
too obvious to require comment
ing upon. and it is not by Great
ing an atmosphere of melodrama
that remedy for the situation
can be found. There is no anal
ogy whatever between the aue-
ton block, whereon unwillingI
victims were sold into slavery.
and the honest efforts of a free
Citizen to find work: nor does i
tend to elevate the same citizen:
sense of self-respect to allow him
self to be made the object of
sentimental appeal to the public
to open its purse strings.
No one can blame the Labor
unions for bitterly resenting lie
doux's methods of finding work
for his proteges. no matter how
well meant they may be: and
Maryland is to be congratulated
that there is no danger OF such
degrading scenes being enacted
here.
