MIDSUMMER MUSICAL AT Apo.
MATToX CLUB.

4 representative and appreeiative
audience greeted the star participants
on the program of this great Club at
its auditoriR on last Sunday, under
the direction of ]. Gray Lucas, chair
man of its music committee. Stand
ing room only, was the greeting to
those late.
The high standard set by Atty.
Lucas, by avocation a music lover and
patron of the fine arts, has been main
tanned throughout his successful season
of musicals at the Club; growing more
interesting to musicians and lovers of
the art universal at each rendition,
thus giving the most universal of pleas
ures of the better kind impetus and
encouragement.
A brief review of the program may
be of interest, since the artists who
graeed the interesting program are so
highly rated, respectively.
Miss Irene Howard, premier eOrnetist
of the race, just from her rural vaea-
tion in Michigan was at her best; her
delicate shadings and resonant FORTS
simo. with double and triple tongueing
ad Hbitum, touched the heart at times,
particularly in the well known "Sam-
son and Delilah" air-'My Heart at
Thy Sweet Voice." which received a
merited encore. But in her rendition
of the celebrated Russian Hymn as a
brilliant ''Fantasie by the unmusieal
name, Casey, she tiekled the ears OF
the very groundlings, and unwrapped
everything in the art of eornet playing
Mr.. Lawrence LOmax, who has SO
long ago only as one year been re-
garded as a lyric tenor, demonstrated
the most surprising vocal growth that
the writer has ever observed; his voice
now being a robust tenor of great
range, and his art of great and grip
ping dramatic power. He amused anC
delighted his audience first, by opening
the program always Stunned by art
ists) with the celebrated and popular
Rigoletto air, "Woman So Change
able" which brought an immediate
response from the presence. He re
sponded with the beautiful "Be
cause" which produced a very marked
effect upon his audience, eomplaeent
and subdued, until he reached his eli
max in a fortissimo which ratified the
rafters and aroused echoes. Hi
THANK God for a Garden" was o.
the same character, with a rousint
finale. His beautiful singing Of thi
song is one of his chief possessions
which he is regularly required to re
peat.

What will we do with the money
when we get it3 Blow itf Some
months ago everybody was happy.
Everybody working at breakneek speed,
making more money than they ever
did before. Then was the time to be
careful, frugal, and saving. Slime did
save. Most of them did not, they spent
money like water on the most frivolous
things. 4 few women and girls bought
fur coats. They wanted to look like
they were in easy circumstances. Of
course nearly every one has streak of
vanity in them. A great many men
bought hundred dollar suits and over
coats. Some of the more economical
saved and bought a house or a fat as
investment. Now we are all looking
as hard as ever we could look for the
return of good times, and mayor
Thompson is trying hard to bring it to
us. The mill will never grind with the

Proposed Treaty Will Give Mos
COW Military Supremacy, U.
S. Officials Hear.

Soviet spremacy in Persia may re-

recently drafted, reports reaching
Government officials here declare.
Advices from American representa-
tives abroad show that the hold Of
Great Britain in Persia may not en-
dure as a result of the Russian sit
uation. The Soviet government has
strengthened itself to the point
where it practically dictates the
military policy of Persia and in the
British stronghold there, could re-
sist such action by force, according
to the treaty.
Actual review Of the Soviet situa-
ton contained in reports to the va
rious departments show that the So
Wet government at present is
strengthening its diplomatic lines
with near neighbors rather than
attempting to further conquest.
The action of the Bolshevik lead =
ers is for twofold purpose, the ad =

the necessity of diosposing of Rus

purchased through the neighboring
countries and the other to test the
strength of the government in times
