Of permanent memorial for Enrico
Caruso." said DR.. Stella, I'VE were I'M
pressed with the fact that nothing would
be more in keeping with the interest
Caruso himself manifested in the devel-
opnsent of promising young singers than
the establishment OF q foundation that
will provide annual scholarships and
prizes on a democratic basis and that
will develop wider appreciation Of
surances of cooperation from organiza-
tions of music lovers. from artists, talk
ing machine manufacturers and dealers
and from patrons OF music generally.

augurs we'll for the fund"
