cil in Paris with Ambassador Harvey in August, 1921, and upon returning left the Embassy. It had been my great desire to continue working there and studying until I could make a debut in grand opera or concert, but fate an unmusical government inter- yened.
 Then began a heartbreaking and wearying round of singing at theaters and for managers-when they would hear me, which wasn't every time I applied-at the same time working in the chorus of several musical shows to gain stage experience.
 There had been several audiences at Daly's, but nothing had come of them, as quick descisions had to be made concerning other offers-for the .chorus).
 An appointment for an audience with Marlyn Morgan, the musical di- rector at Daly's, was made. I was late for me to keep that appointment. out of town and the train was too Fate had stepped in again.

FREIGHT BY AIR TO
 BE EFFECTIVE SOON,
 IS BELIEF OF EXPERT

LOS ANGELES, July 24. - Ameri- ca, within the next five years, will see the regular operation of air way load carriers transporting heavy freight and passengers at commerce ially satisfactory rates, according to Charles S. Hall, of this city, who heads a staff of experts engaged in surveying air routes and testing in ventions essential to the operation 0 load-carrying types of aircraft.
 Hall gave a review of the sub ject and expressed the belief that the combination of features neces- sary to make air@freighting safe and cheap enough to justify making an established business of it Is now available. Radio telephony, practical aerography, n-inflammable gas which is lighter than air, aluminium alloys to permit lightness in rrame- work construction, and the develop ment of aerial navigation-these are few features which have "arrived" to help make the building of large carriers for heavy loads possible, he asserted.
 we have worked for five years on the problem of profit and loss as part of our effort to get airway rates down where business men could see them," said Hall, "and there are three big weaknesses in the large airship which initiate against adapting it for scheduled commercial transportation.
 "One is that of safety, which is now met by ground communication and fog-flying possibilities through development of the wireless. Safety is also advanced by the possibility of a non-inflammable levitating gas ' "The second weakness is the lack of cheap power. We have not as yet the proper power, for gasoline is not cheap fuel, and 1t takes up great deal of weight that might otherwise go into pay load. This will prob- ably be overcome after the air car riers are in operation, for inventors will then understand what is needed most.
 "The third and most vital de- ficieacy in adapting the military air ship to commercial work is the pay

LONDON, July 24. - Weyland Echols, a young American who first discovered he had vocal ability while serving in the A. E. F., has startled London by making his debut before the King and Queen and winning their applause.
 Echols, whose home is in Los Ange- les, stood in the wings of Daly's Thea ter during charity matinee hoping that some performer would fail to ap' pear and that he might be given an opportunity to make his debut in Lon don before the King and Queen. Fate was kind and Sir Charles Hawtrey was unable to appear. On moments 8 notice young Echols was substituted and won instant fame.
 In the following article Echols tells of his efforts to win recognition: lived in California until the war, then went to Camp Lewis, Washing ton, where I used to sing for my friends after the days work was over. was sent to New York in November. 191S Among others, I met Caruso and his wife.

FOR AUTO SEEN
AT MURDER SPOT

Fresno, Cal, July IL. - Upon
the finding of small touring car
seen parked along the highway
near the spot where Pauline
Grass, 16 year old Sanger school
girl, and Alex Winter, her sweet
heart, were brutally murdered
Sunday night, hinges the solution
of the gruesome tragedy, accord
ing to local authorities investi-
eating the case.
Every effort to locate the own
err of the car has been in vain
thus far and 1t is believed posi-
BILE that the murderer may have
followed the youthful sweethearts
to the secluded spot and after
ending their lives, fled.
The car in question was
brought to the attention of the
officers yesterday by two young
men who stated that they had
seen 1t parked a short distance in
the rear of Winters machine on
the night of the murder. A flash
light, thought to have been the
property of the murderer was
found at the spot at which the
two sweethearts were murdered.

GERMANY ASKS
EARLY REPLY ON
MORATORIUM

Paris, July 12.-(By Associated
Press. Germany today handed
the reparations commission here d
note requesting an immediate
moratorium for all the remaining
payments for 1922, including that
due July Is.
Germany further requests that
the moratorium be extended for
the cash payments provided for
1928 and 1924, under the sched-
ule of May 5, 1921.
The note asks for an immediate
decision on the application in or
der to avoid what it declares may
soon become catastrophe.
1t points out that the recent
developments in Germany, the fall
of the rate of exchange for the
mark-which began upon the ad-
journment of the nominations
with the international loan com
mittee-would perhaps become ir-
remediable unless a speedy settle
ment was reached.
The note concludes with an ex-
preston of hope that a decision
for such a settlement will be fav-
orable to the resumption of the
loan negotiations, as unless assist
ance is received from a foreign
1y to the complete dissolution of
the financial, economic and social
life Of Germany.

Meanest Thief
Found; Steals
Widow S Trunk

AS a result of the work of some
unscuplous person, Mrs. Farlow
and three children are left with
only a camping outfit and the
clothing they wear. Mrs. FarloW
and her children were stopping
with a friend who lives on 2Srd
street for the night the first OF
the week. Thinking that they
would not pile the trunks into the
house they left them on the porch.
In the morning she found that
the trunk and three boxes con-
tanning few keepsakes, worthless
to any one other than herself, and
hers and the children's clothes,
had been taken.-
If the person taking the trunk
and boxes knew of the condition
in which the unfortunate ones
have been left he would return the
goods. According to Mrs. Farlow
she is supporting herself and the
children and can barely make
ends meet as it is. Now with no
money but what she is making
picking berries, she is not able to
buy. The toiling mother said this
morning that If the one who took
them would be good enough to re-
turn the articles or phone her at
the r. L. Smith place, 17F13, she
would be glad enough to get them
back and that nothing would be
done

State Must Prove It's
Right to Stop Purse
SEEMING on Columbia

Tacoma, Wash, July 12.-
Judge Edward e. Cushman grant
ed a temporary injunction in
United District court here today
that restraints the Washington
fisheries board from forbidding
purse seiners to operate in the CO.
lumbia river. The restraining or
der was granted at the request OF
% fishermen of the state, and
the fisheries board was cited to
appear in court July 21 to show
cause why the order should not
be made permanent.
The fishermen In their COM
plant allege they have a total Of
$3.50, 900 invested in fishing boats
and that they have earned their
livings for years by catching fish
In the Columbia river.
They declare the prohibition
decreed by the fisheries board is
null and void because Oregon and
Washington, with the consent of
congress, perfected a treaty in
1915 in which 1t was agreed that
neither state should make regu-
iations concerning Columbia river
fishing without the consent of the
other. 1t is charged that Oregon
has not sanctioned Washington q
ban on purse fishing In the Co
4lmbia and the federal courts
are asked to declare the prohibi-
tion illegal in all respects.
Three federal judges, sitting
en- banc, will hear the case when
1t comes up July 21.
