.FRON DISHWATER SINGS HER WAY
 ID FAME AT 15
Child Wonder Is Declared to Be Marvellous Songbird by
 New York Critics

NEW YORK, Nov. 18.-This is the | sotry of little girl who sang her way | from dishwater to fame. And it con- | tains a lesson for everybody, young or old, talented or not, who would rise from a mean position in life to a lofty one.
 The little girl is Marion Talley, 15. Two weeks ago she was just the daughter of a Kansas City railway telegrapher-a little miss who liked to sing
 Today she is acclaimed by New songbird, and not far in the future she may be the worlds youngest grand opera star.
 Already she has turned down one proffered contract to star in an opera because she knows her success will be all the greater if she puts in sev- eral years of hard work and study.
 Tells How She Did 1t
 Marion herself told today in an eX- elusive interview with NEA Service the story of her spectacular rise.
 Mother says 1 began to sing at the age of two," Marion said. shed sing little lullabies to me and imme- diately I'd repeat them, carrying the tune.
 "Of course, I don't remember that, but I do know that ever since l can recollect, I've sung.
 AS I grew up, had to help mother with housework. Instead of trying to dodge dishwashing, sweep ing and dusting, did these things to the accompaniment of singing and l found that made it easy.
 Tn school I was called on to sing at entertainments and festivals. Then finally decided to sing ill the church choir.
 q can never forget the first time l took my seat in the choir. The director listened to me intently and when I had sung my first hymn, he called me to sit in the first TOW.
 That was my turning point. From that time on ambition to be a singer grew in me"
 And now let Mrs. Charles M. Tal- lev. Marion's mother, take up the story.
 Marion soon became church solo, ist. She was paid as much as man. Her voice came to be in demand at all kinds of entertainments and she was we'll paid. Soon her talent caught the attention of several veal thy Kansas City men.
 At a special concert S1O,OOO was raised to pay for her musical educa- tion. And the Metropolitan Opera Company at New York was asked to test her voice"
 So Mir and Mrs. Talley and Marion came to New York. In the great Metropolitan Opera House Marion sang before Guilio Gatt-Cassazza, di- rector of the opera company, otto Kahn. head of the board of directors, and half a dozen others whose names are known all over the world.
 And all pronounced Marion's voice miraculous and said that her chances of becoming a star were of the pest. l
 Hard Study Ahead
 So Marion and her mother are set fling down nj New York where Marion | will study hard for three years under the hest teachers while her father goes back to his telegraph key n Kansas City.
 And the lesson?
 "No matter how obscure you may he at the start, you can gain recogni-

ton if you really try" says Marion.
 II got ahead by being contented with my lot but at the same time reaching upward and doing my ut most to develop my talent.
 That's why wash dishes and sing instead of letting the dishes go and dreaming of fame.
 That's why 1 was always willing to sing anywhere and for anybody in stead of considering myself above it.
 And just as I have got ahead in singing, any. girl-or boy or man or woman-can get ahead in any other line"

 If this country does net help them with the necessities of life there little hope for their lack helping hands since other country is able it desired to act In our own land there is abund ance; theirs only pryation, hunger and want.

Rockefeller Advocates the S-HOur Day.

In a statement published in the November Sur vey Graphic, John D. Rockefeller jr. expresses his belief that, generally speaking, the twelve day and the n-day week should longer be tolerated in industry, either from the viewpoint of public pol icy of industrial efficiency And in the same number of the Graphic, R. S. Lynd quotes statistics of the of Labor to prove that both the twelve hour day and the seven-day week usual in the oil-ieds

caea6 of Ecuador Colombia and Venezuela, and the copper vanadium, rubber and cotton of Peru The United States took 45 per cent of the total exports from these scoun- tries in 1919 and AZ per cent. in 1920.
 These countries, which are dependent upon the United States as market for their products and which at the same time require the products of it's factories, offer fertile field for the expansion of American trade. They have raw materials and foodstuhs which the United States needs and the United States has food products and manu- factured goods which they need. The United States is more conveniently located for their trade than any other country Thus these countries and the United States best , prepared to supply each others requirements and the commercial bonds between them should become and more close
 On the whole the United States is now in more favorable position to held and build up a large trade with South America than before the war Valuable relationships have been established, while the physical equipment for carrying foreign trade, such as shipping facilities, have been in- creased and improved. It is not expected that the United States will regain the ab- normal proportion of the South American trade which it held in 1917 but it is ap- larger than before the war.

The Test of Shantung.
fNew York Evening Post. ]


 Raymond B. Fosdicks review in yesterdays Times of Ray Stannard Bakers big book the Peace Con- ference and Woodrow Wilson is far from unkindly to the ex-President. The familiar story of Wilson's dilemma at Paris is rehearsed with sympathy and understanding It was choice for Wilson between breaking up the conference in vindcation of abso- lute principle going in for compromise in order give kind of peace a distracted world
 aIr. Fosdck leaves it for the individual judgment and fer history to decide which the better But point he does express a positive opinion He follows Mr. Baker in thinking that Wilson's yielding on Shantung error and from the political point of view here at home it certainly of the first magnitude. The so-called shame of Shantung burned to a particularly white flame in the soul of Hiram Johnson and other opponents of Woodrow Wilson. including opponents, are free believe, first looked up the map of Asia to where Shantung was.
 Now the odd thing is that the mistake of Shan tGng should be emphasized by Mr Fosdick in the same issue of the Times that recounts the depar- ture of the last shipload of Japanese officials and soldiers from Kiao-chau. In other words, little more than three years after the signing the Peace Treaty the policy of Woodrow Wilson in the matter of Shantung is completely vindcated It was Wilson's reasoning that, rather than wreck the Peace Conference by insisting immediate Japanese withdrawal of Shantung, the Chinese, who have known how to wait for things for a thousand years might be asked to wait few years for the re- turn of their province That the return Shantung accomplished through a conference called by Harding and Hughes does in the least affect the problem. On the contrary, the fact that other hands helped to bring about something that Wilson hoped and expected to about only justfes his policy Of patience.
 Woodrow Wilson's attitude the peace as a whole was just this one of getting what could be got out of conference of storm and stress expectation that quieter times and quieter minds would the wrongs and out of the treaty It turns out that he right about Shantung and the indications are that he will be right about good many other things at Versailles. We should be better off today if peo. pie instead of giving themselves up to clamor about the niquities of Versailles had devoted themselves to the task of general appeasement the promotion of the better thought that with quiet nerves

Up to the outbreak Of the worldwide depression in 1920. the United States main tained its lead practically unimpaired and in that year 42 per cent. of South Americas imports came from the United States as against 15 per cent. prior 10 the war and 46 per cent in 1917. The relative import ance of the United States as market for South American goods naturally declined in the face of Europe's extreme needs of food stuffs and raw materials. In 1920 33 per cent Of South American exports went to the United States. against AZ per cent. in 1917 and 20 pr cent. before the war.
 The only foodstuffs which this country needs 10 import in large quantities are the products of q tropical climate, such as coffee cacao and sugar. The industrial countries of Europe, which must import foodstuffs as well as industrial materials are large buyers of Argentine and Uruguayan wheat beef and mutton. Since there is a market in Europe for all their products instead of only part, as in the United States it is natural that the European countries should have an advantage in selling 10 them. More over. Argentina and Uruguay are as near to European as to American ports, which is not | true of most of the other countries in South America.
 The situation in Brazil and the north ern and western republics Of Colombia Vene- zuela. Ecuador Peru and Chile is radically different. In Brazil. for instance the i'm pcrtant foodstuf exported is coffee of which Brazil produces three-fourths of the worlds supply. More than half Of the entire crop is sent to the United States The other major food produmts. cacao and sugar. are imported into the United States in large quantities.

fore Judge John J. Keogh, counsel

tory can be sold.
1t was also announced yesterday

before the Morris Metal Products
company. The only book of the lat
ter company left there was a check
book which has disappeared.
