CHICAGO MAKES 60
OF OPERA VENTURE.
Business Men Of All Kinds Guar
antOrS Of Civic Work

Chicago. July 27.--Chicago has
gone into the grand opera business,
and after years operation. the
financial statement shows that the
city is making a success of it.
Backed by a regiment of guaran-
| tors, who are to ne found In all walks
of business, commercial, industrial and
social life, as we'll as by the general
public. the Chicago Civic Opera COM
pany has become almost as truly civic
as public library or a public park.
The admission charged for perform
ances, which is moderate and consid-
cred popular, though insufficient as
yet to pay the full cost of entertain
ment, is the sole mark distinguish
ing the Chicago Civic Opera from
other civic institutions with q general
appeal.
There are 1900 guarantors who
stepped to the front when Harold 7.
Mccormick and Mrs. Edith Rookie
felelr Mccormick contributed their
holdings to the then Civic Opera asso-
citation.
1t is now announced by Samuel In
Bull, vi NV cptlo NpiiiPtb
that when the defioit for the first
civic opera season, that of 1922-1923.
was finally determined and made
known, the guarantors responded i'm
mediately and unhcsitatingly and full
filed their pledges without demur.
Mr.. insult says: Grand Opera IN
Chicago thus has passed into stage
of Civic Grand Opera, supported by
as representative people as wouII be
met by the tax collector gathering !
sinews for city government. The
method of obtaining support closely |
the municipal state sub
sides provided operas abroad, the |
sole difference being that in Chicago
q preferred list of taxpayers of all
professions underwrite opera, white

losses are liquidated by general taxa

DEVICE TO RESCUE
Instrument Invented by the French
to Aid I'm Helping Entombed Miners
and Locating Fires.

New York, July 2T.-An instru-
ment called the geophone, invented
by the French to detect underground
noises during the World war, is now
being used to rescue entombed min
ers. locate mine fire areas and reduce
accidents through blasting, the En-

The geophone has been improved

over which are two metal disks. In
the space within the ring, suspended
between the thin disks. is lead

SWEDISH SPEEDERS
ARE KEPT IN CHECK
SpeedOIneters Recording Highest
Point Of Speed to Be Perfected

Stockholm. July q. - Unusual
measures for preventing, automobile
accidents. and an entirely original
idea for keeping the speeding nuisance
in check are features in the new mo-
tor traffic laws which have Just been
passed by the Swedish Riksdag.
A striking paragraph in the new
law is that which provides for the
compulsory use of recording speed
ometers on all motor vehicles. Such
a device not only indicates the num-
Der of miles the car has run but also
the rate of speed during any part of
the run. Thus. on the one hand, the
innocent driver who may be wrongly
accused of exceeding speed limits, has
mechanical record with which to
prove his innocence, while officers of
the law can use the automatic rec
ord as irrefutable evidence against
the guilty speeder. Up to the present,
no recording speedometer for auto
mobils has been perfected, but
promising experiments with such an
instrument are being conducted. and
the new law provides that. as soon as
the mechanical problem has been

 pFeill because fl puts one ln position to msk ca hig pTent when the eppeE-
 iunitY comes.
 .I especially emphasize the import
 anee of hank accounts al the present
 time because many people have not
 increased their hank accounts mas
 teriallY since the lew prices of ten
 years ago. For a great many years
 prices ran along certain level and
 people got into the habit of carrying
 about so much in their savings ae-
 count and a certain amount ih Their checking account. All business men,
 from the large manufacturers to the
 humhiest retailers. felt that a bank account Of a certain size was about what he should carry and he has held the same Idea up to the present time, Yet, during the past ten years. prices have increased from fifty to a hundred or more per cent. according 10 the commodity considered, Taking into consideration all factors entering into the cost Of living, the dollar Of ten years ago ia worth only about sixty cents today. AS prices increase we should increase our bank accounts to correspond. We take out increased in- suranea today on a building which was built ten years ago even though Il was then insured for all it cost. The fact ia that the cost Of building has gone up and 1T We had ire we would have to rebuild at much higher prices 'rherefofe. we insure not on the basis of the most of ten years but on the | basis of replacement AS of today. II | seems to me that we should follow the | same principle regarding our bank accounts.
 "one great trouble with business today is the amount Of money being | wasted on things Of only temporary value and the small proportionats amount which is being banked for .hings of more permanent value. This s one reason why the Babsonchart ias again so radically declined, stand ng today at 10 per cent below normal with per cent above nor nal in February. Just as things got better around the first of the year. people again careless, bank deposits ell off and the safety valve began to ct off steam.
