Young Richard Johnston of the company, son of Richard F, John ston and who has been responsible for the appearance of so many aplen- did local artists on the radio pro- grams, said yesterday that this was the first time an entire opera had been attempted.
 To Make It Pleasing
 While, of course. we will lack stage settings, we expect to spare no pains to have the program as realistic as word and song can make II, We will give a short synopsis or the play. and immediately before each of the 12 songs are sung. a short explanation of what they en- body
 The artists to be heard are the renowned Homer, Farrar, Journet. Caruso and Plancon, assisted by a number of less celebrated singers.
 MT. Johnston expressed one of the most vivid conceptions of the new invention, when I had besought to explain all the enigmatical ma chinery to me
 What a masterful thing the radio actually offers. Think of Caruso- singer, whose magnificent voice Is stilled forever-continuing only to sing to a wider, massed audience than ever he appeared before in life singing so loudly, exultantly and clearly that thousands in their homes must still thrill and respond to the living emotion that once burned so fiercely in his now dead breast"

 The general public would be sur prised to see what the radio "en- tertainment gallery" looks like. It has in 1t piano and three trans mitters hanging by cords.

But the "varmint," being modest, and probably not wanting his name in the paper, fled.

Before the pro- grams, Mir Johnston has always an nounced the various numbers and plans arranged for the evening. The selections have been splendid; and so much gratefulness has been ex- pressed by people in hospitals, homes for the blind, and shut-ins where days and nights of a blank same ness grow so wearisome to lonely hearts.

 The Journal of Commerce quotes some steel and iron experts as fore seeing a $40 market in the east, which would be over $50 here. More conservative views up there are to the effect that, so soon as the rail strike ends. the present furry in iron will end.
 Importations of foreign iron have not had the price-lowering effect that was anticipated the foreign irons advancing in proportion to the domestic.
 The market is extremely nervous and iumpy" said leading maker yesterday
 One small producer still quoted s21 yesterday on such small driblets as 1t could secure for regular custom CTS out of undelivered iron, but for regular business is out of the market and sold up fairly well for the re- mainder of the year.

The men appeared to be in good con dition. were well uniformed and saluted in snappy fashion as they filed past the stand. A little more precision in alignment. gayer uni forms, better horses and older sol diers and they might have been the regiments of the old guard passing before Emperor Nicholas. On the other hand. they were as different from the tattered. undtsciplined red army of 1918 as the copcord farmers of 1776 were from GenseAl Pershing's s picked battalionS
