VAST FORTUNE FOR LADY'S TIMEP|ECE
Russian's Savings for Six Years Less Than Weeks Wages Here


 Miss Elsie Kimball Of Mount Ver- non. New York, is the guest of Rev. and Mrs, Raymond N. Gilman of the Stanley Memorial church. Miss Kim ball who Is a Near East Relief work Ter, met Rev. and Mrs. Gilman and the latter's mother, Mrs. Helen Per 'oshine, when they were engaged in the same work in the Caucasus. The visit to this city is in the nature of a reunion and the local pastor and his wife expect to have their guest re- main until after Christmas.
 A very remarkable instance of the worthlessness of the Russian soviet ruble and the purchasing power of the American dollar. is shown by a purchase made by Miss Kimball short ly before returning to America. It is a lady's small gold watch of Swiss make. The watch case is set with 25 diamonds and 76 pearls It was pur- chased year ago in the Caucasus for an equivalent of $25 in American money, said to be at the present time about fifty million rubles.
 Four American dollars year ago, it is said, would keep a family in that section of thea world in food for a month. The ruble has depreciated since that time. Since native workers

Chairman Rice of Ordinance Commit
 tee Replies to The Observer

I tee Replies to The Observer"
 Dec. II. 1929. Editor Herald: e I observe that your Observer" in Saturdays Herald gives me consider able publicity not at all desirable. That he labors under a misapprehen- sion as to my duties as chairman of the ordinance committee of the com- mon council is certainly no fault of lmine.
 The end sought by the Chamber of Commerce can only be attained by the calling of special meeting of the common council. If such meeting is called and that body sees fit to instruct the committee on ordinance to draft the ordinance suggested there is no doubt the committee will obey such instructions. Until such meet ing is held the committee is power less.
 Concerning the sale of jewelry under artificial light" it might be said that every jeweler in the city is dispersing their wares under similar conditions.
 Furthermore it might be added with truth that the merchants against whom this proposed legislation is aimed has been in business in this city for a number of years and pays on something like $70,O00 into the city treasury in the form of taxes.

HE|RESS MAKES
HER DEBUT IN

Dorothy Cannon in "ParsifaI"
Finds Joy Greater Than in

BY HARRY X. FLORW,

CHICAGO, Nov. 20.-IIeiress TO a
$50 100000 estate, but intent only
on a career in her chosen profess
sion. thinking not at all OF the
prestige her millions alone could Sc
cure for her, Dorothy Cannon. sat
today i'm the midst of mountain
of flowers and dreamed OF her
future in grand opera.
She made her debut yesterday aft
ernoon. taking the part Of a flow
er maiden. in "Parsifal." rendered
by the Chicago Civic Opera Com.
pany.
AS one of a number of the Mad
chen" she danced and sang her way
through an entire scene, unper-
turbed. trying to entice caresses
from the innocent "Parsifal."
Not a Bit Excited.
II wasn't a bit excited" she said.

1T was splendid. and just what

But the excitement was as moth.
ing compared TO this" and she sur
veyed the tier upon tier of flow
ers which almost filled her dress
ing room.
Yesterday afternoon. the scene or
Miss Cannon's activities on the
stage was a flower garden with
artificial flowers. Today the flowers s
were real for the heiress, and she
cOnfided that they were more than
any other singer ever received after
"A Chicago performance. "even Mary
Garden"
The debut was unostentatious.
There were no curtain calls and
only Miss Cannon's friends and
those who knew her were able TO
pick her out from among the
"Madchen."
Will Keep Up Work.
1.-THE wishes Of Richard Wagner
are to be respected in the presenta-
ton of Parsifal," the program an
nounced. Therefore. in order to
perserve the atmosphere of mys.
icism, the artists appearing in this
opera will not come before the
curtain between acts"
That spoiled Miss Cannon's debut,
to a certain extent. She would have
liked for the audience to see her
flowers.
"Of course, am going to keep
right on with it," Miss Cannon
said. II am going TO devote my
whole life to opera. But / don't
know yet what my next part will
be-"
Meanwhile a dressing room at the
