DESIGNATED MAIL
RECEPTACLE DAY
Numbers on House Urged and
Also Suitable Place For De-
posting MaiI.-AIl Business
and Civic Organizations Ask
ed to Help.

This is mail box day in every city
in the United States where the peo-
pie are afforded the benefits of city
delivery, and the postoffice depart
ment urges that every house within
the city delivery limit be equipped
with mail receptacle of some kind.
Carriers of the local post Office
will also make a report today as to
the number of houses in Brunswick
which are not numbered. The report
will be submitted to the postmaster,
who, in turn, will notify those houses
that, in order to receive mail, they
must be numbered.
The mail box request, however, is
not compulsory, but the department
is urging every patron, for the good
of the service, to erect some kind OF
mail receptacle and it is hoped that
the people of Brunswick will comply
with the request. While this has
been designated as mail box day."
the campaign for mail boxes will be
continued for some time.
In designating this as mail box
day" the department at Washington,
in it's order. says, among other things:
"If expeditions and efficient city de
livery is to be accorded, it is essential
that buildings, to which mail is deliv-
cred be properly numbered and equip
ped with mail receptacles. With
out house numbers, carriers are de-
layed IN serving the routes. and err
rors in delivery unavoidably occur. es-
pecially when substitutes are on duty.
This condition coupled with the lack
Of mail receptacles inevitably impairs
efficiency and delays delivery, with a
resultant public Inconvenience and
| loss.
"To correct this evil 1t has been
decided to conduct nationwide cam
paign with a view to having every
building properly numbered, and
equipped with a suitable receptacle
or opening in the door.
CAS- preliminary, step, on Oct. 10,
1921, the postmaster of every post
Office having city or village delivery
will require his carriers to report the
address of every dwelling and place
on their routes, not so numbered and
equipped.

icate with TIE owners or occupants

Widow, Discouraged, Says Hus-
bands Piano and Portrait
May Go Under Hammer.

Not only old no one come forward yes
terday to purchase the Manhattan Opera
House from Mrs. Oscar Hammersten
and thus relieve her from her present
financial embarrassment. but benefit
she had hoped the Chicago Opera Com
pany would give there next Friday after
noon has been abandoned.
The widow of the impresario was In
such a depressed mood last night that
she said she had about made UP her
mind to hang out a red flag on the day
of the hoped for benefit by Miss Mary
Gardens opera company and sell to the
highest bidder her late husbands famous
grand piano and his portrait that stands
in the lobby of the opera house to help
her meet pending bills amounting to
$35. 900.
George Blumenthal. manager of Mrs.
Hammerstein's business interests, thus
outlined the situation for her:
1T is an amazing thing to me that the
Chicago company. over which the late
Oscar Hammerstein built two roofs.
those OF the Lexington and the Manhat-
tan Opera houses--ehould not be willing
to come forward and help Mrs. Hammer
stein out OF her present financial trou-
bles by giving benefit performance rs
a sort Of testimonial to the late i'm
presario." he said last night. II made
the suggestion to George NJ. Spangler,
Miss Gardens business manager. l
have not been able to reach Miss. Gar
den herself. Mr.. Spangler said that
necessary rehearsals, particularly for a
forthcoming performance of Hamlet
and the necessity of shipping much Of
the scenery. to Baltimore would make
it a physical impossibility to give the
benefit, the income from which would
go a long way toward meeting Mrs.
Hammerstein's present difficulties
The late Mr.. .Hammerstein brought
Miss Garden from Paris to New York. "
added Mr.. Blumenthal. HE contributed
materially in making her the famous
artist she is to-day. There are at pres
ent singing under her direction at least
ten members Of the Chicago Opera Com
pany who served under Mr.. Hammer
stein In his successful days Among
them is Alessandro Bonci. to whom Mr..
Hammerstein gave his first chance in
grand opera in America. Yet there seems
to be no inclination on their part to
come forward in a patriotic spirit and
do a perfectly simple thing that would
preserve the name of Hammerstein tc
the operate world.
Instead" said Mrs. Hammerstein' s
spokesman, ''the business manager oi
the Chicago Opera Company sends me
comparatively small bill for towe
service in the washrooms, which, hc
affirms. the opera company is moi
called upon to pay under the terms OF
the lease"
Mr.. Blumenthal also said that Mrs
Hammerstein lifted a lis pendens fol
SIC. 900 on the opera house so as to clear
the way to the present lease Of the
Chicago company for the Manhattan
and by so doing she had to mortgage
a piece OF her property at Atlantic
Highlands.

JOSEPH sCHwARZ's CONCERT.

Joseph Schwarz. a Russian barytone
of much European experience in opera,
who made his first appearance here at
Carnegie Hall a few weeks ago. gave
programme of old airs, Russian. German
and Finnish songs. and the Air du
Mroir" from Les Contes d'Hoffmann" :"
yesterday afternoon in Aeolian Hall.
Seldom does a recital arouse such en-
thusiasm as this did. In fact. the ar
tistic contour of a song was often seri-
ously injured by the outburst of ap-
plause near the end of number, which
entirely cut off the final measures OF
the accompaniment, played by no less
an artist than Coenraad Bos. 1t Is
possible that Mr.. Schwarz was able to
do himself fuller justice yesterday than
at his debut, given only three days after
his arrival in this country. But the
general impression gained from his
singing then remained the same. His
voice is fine one. but he sometimes
sacrifices smoothness to powerful tone
and his dramatic style may become ex-
cessive. In Cacinis "Amarilli' air there
might easily have been more vocal
finesse, but in songs by Rachmaninov,
Schuberts "Am Nicer" and in his gen
eral work, In fact. he sang with an un-
derstanding. poetic insight and genuine
feeling

barytone IN "Pagliacci." Friday night at
the Manhattan. The great tenor and his
associate mixed 1t realistically In the
opera and Defrere's right accidentally
landed all too hard on the optic of his
fellow singer.
Ruffo retired to his corner suite In the
Biltmore and nursed the Injured eye,
with the help of black eye doctor, and
by yesterday afternoon he was able to
go TO luncheon with r. f. Johnston and
then to the matinee at the Metropolitan.
Defrere sent regrets and an offer of an
other physician, but one was enough
Last evening Ruffo was about to dress
for dinner at the house of DR.. Sarla-
bouse. but Johnston said the contrast OF
eye and shirt front was too great, and
so the tenor went in business suit and
wearing a black tie
