Society Passes Up
Opera For Horses

New York, Nov. l3-Fickle New
York society has given grand opera
The go-by in favor of horse show.
BY somebody's blunder the grand
opera season and the National Horse
Show, both great events on the New
! York social calendar, were set to
open on the same night.
In the contest of drawing power the
horse show staged at the squadron
| A armory won all the ribbons, as far
as the members Of New York upper
strata were concerned.
The boxes at the armory reserved
for the patrons and patronesses, the
club members and the exhibitors,
were filled with the slim white Shout
ders and broad white fronts of the
elect of society who are usually In
evidence at the opera.
AS a result, Nine. Maria Jeritza,
! beautiful flaxon haired Viennese OPP
era star made her formal bow as the
new queen of American grand opera
to an almost empty diamond horse
shoe This great semi-circle of
stalls which is ordinarily crowded
with New York's be-diamonded four
hundred was nothing but dark, gap
ing cavern when Jeritza swept on the
stage toward the end of the first act
of Tosca. 1t was her first appearance
as the successor Of the famous Ger
aldine Farrar, who resigned at the
end of last season. Not over a dozen
persons were in the horseshoe when
+ JeritZa came on.
But the remainder of the house was
iammed Hundreds were turned
away. Every gallery seat was filled
! Every square inch Of standing room
around the fringe Of the great par
quett was taken. Practically every
orchestra seat was occupied. There
was only that bare layer of dark
empty stalls.
! No 400 seats were vacant at the
horse show, however. The big tan
bark pavilion had been decorated in a
way that made it rival Madison
Square Garden in the latter's young
est and gayest days. Only the dia-
mond horseshoe was missing.
At the west end was a replica OF
the famous Mount Vernon porch and
at the other end, Mount Vernon lane
with the Potomac showing through
the trees in the distance.
Those who went to watch, and not
to be watched, were surprised to fire
that the affair is becoming more
horsey and less snowy. The box anc
member section showed a thick sprin
king Of whipcord and leather mixeC
with the ermine and silk. Beautiful
horses cavorting over the dark tai
bark, and taking the jumps.
Corduroy of rail birds.
Smell of sawdust and of leather.
These, besides society, were some
Of the impressions.

SEEK PROCESS TO SAVE -
MILLIONS NOW WASTED
(By United Press-)

Madison. Wis, Nov ia race
between University of Wisconsin me-
tallurgy experts and certain zinc
mining interests of the nation to
Salvage most ecoomically half
million dollars in zinc taillngs now
lost in Wisconsin zinc mines, In ad
dition to much larger amounts IN
other leading zinc producing states
of the Union, was revealed to the
United Press today. .
Of the average Of 100000 of
zinc ore fed annually to the mills IN
the southern Wisconsin district,
about 10000 tons, worth $40 ton, is
lost because the present process
grinds part of the material too fine
and washes it away.
How to save the valuable metal
from these tailings is the problem on
which the university experts headed
by E. r. Shorey, have been working
for more than a year Their research
has evolved a modification OF the
"flotation" process, which is made ar
auxiliary of the present process at
the mines.
The "flotation" process is rever-
sal of the ordinary process of wash
ing the ore with water and involves
a washing with an oil mixture, where
by the fine talings containing zine
are brought to the surface of the
mixture and skinned off for refin'
ing,
A secret oil compound which abb
serbs the metallic minerals and does
not touch the rock minerals, has been
perfected by the university experts.
This process is no more expensive
than any intermediate process and
will enable the mill operator to save
thousands of dollars, the university
research men decare.
In competition, certain private IN
terests are recommending a partial
concentration of ore at the mine and
the shipment of this concentrate to
central plant where the flotation pro-
cess could be carried out. The uni
versity experts declare that the cos:
of dewatering the concentrate, the
cost of shipping much waste material
and the cost Of central plant would
make the cost much more than the
proposed mine flotation process, and
that the owner of such a central flo
tation plant would be able to dictate !
prick because of his monopo'v.

Brazil President
Had Rapid Rise
From County Clerk, to President Is
> Record of Bernardes, Who
Assumes Leadership Today.

Rio De Janeiro, Nov. 15-From
clerk in a general country store to
President Of Brazil-,that is briet
history of Dr. Arthur Bernardes
who assumed the presidency of the
republic today.
Bernardes is a real selfmade man,
Born in the township of Vicosa, state
of Minas Gernaes, August 8, 1875,
he left school when Is years old to
sell beans and rice in the general
store in his home town.
A few years later the clerk was
manager and still looking for new
fields His next job was bookkeep>
ing for Adriano Telles and Company
in the town of Rio Branco.
With his savings from this work
Bernardes moved to 0uro Preto and
began the study of law, supporting
himself by reading proof on the town
newspapers. A year later he wen;
to Sac Paulo, entering the public
examinations for the chair of Portu-
guese and Latin in the Institute OF
Science and Letters.
The life of a professor, however,
did not appeal to the ex-grOcery
clerk, and upon completion Of his law
course, he returned to Vicosa, open.
ing a law office. In 1901, Bernardea
married the daughter of famous
local politician, Senator Vaz Gaelic.
The real entry into politics was in
1904 when Bernardes became presi-
dent Of the municipal council Of Vi
ccsa, holding down the job so well
that he was elected to the state legis-
lature In the legislature the young
lawyer Immediately distinguished
himself, and was entrusted by the
governor, Joao Pinheiro Silva, with
the task of preparing new statistical
maps for the tax department.
This was Bernardes real field
public finance, and he made good,
laying the basis for his future work
in rehabilitating the finances Of the
state.
He was next elected congressman
from Minas Geraes but gave up his
seat after a few months to become
secretary of finance for his state gov
The state finances Of Minas
Geraes, like those of many other
states IN Brazil at tnaJ Ilme, were IN
but a satisfactory condition
and Bernardes Immediately set out
to balance the budget by remodeline
the entire tax program. His success
in this field was followed by another
short period in the federal congress
and then the governorship OF his
state from 1918 to 1922.
The candidacy of Bernardes for
the presidency of the republic was
based largely upon his success as a
financial administrator.
DR.. Peso, the retiring president,
has already booked passage for Eu,
rope and probably will depart from
Rio de Janeiro next Saturday aboard
the Italian liner "Giulio Cesare" 1t
is expected that the retiring presi-
dent, with his family, will take up
residence at Rome.

The Mother of Medicine"

Isis, the Queen and afterwards the
Goddess, was called the Mother of
Medicine" In ancient Egypt, centur-
les before Christ, women were skill
ed in medicine. They knew the great
value of medicinal plants.
Hippocrates, the Father of Medi-
cine" many centuries later, knew less
of the merit of vegetable drugs than
did the women of ancient times.
Lydia E. Pinkham, nearly fifty
years ago, gave to women her Vege-
table Compound, now known every
where as Lydia f. Pinkham's Vege-
table Compound. This is woman's
medicine for woman's ailments, pre-
pared from medicinal plants.-adv.

in public favor. As described in
Farmers Bulletin 1913. 'The Border
Method of Irrigation" prepared by
Samuel Fortier and now issued by the
United States Department of Agricul
ture, the method consists essentially
in the division of the field to be irri-
gated into a series Of strips, lands. or
beds, as they are variously termed, by

the direction Of the steepest slope.
Sufficient water is turned into the up

Crops Suited for Irrigation.
Ii seldom pays, it is said, to prepare
a field for the border method for one

the irrigation Of alfalfa, clover and
other forage crops, as well as all
grains. and the forage crops may be
rotated with the grains without mod

RIGHT CULTURE OF CABBAGE
Large and Solid Heads-Chi-
nese Variety Differs.

The history of the development of
the cabbage gives the key to its cul-
ture The richer the soil and the
faster ii is kept growing, the larger
and solder the heads. 1t must be
grown fast to head fast. If through
lack of fertility or drought its growth
is checked, there is either no real head
or loose, very inferior one, the whole
strength of the plant going to develop
such leaves as 1t had produced before
the check. The Chinese cabbage is an
entirely different species from the com
mon cabbage and its brothers.
