SNOW VACATION TO END
WITH ROADS OPENING

With favorable weather the White
Pine county high school will resume
tomorrow after a weeks impromptu
vacation due to the snow blockade.
Principal A. s. Kubitz predicts that
the %carrya1ls will be able to make
regular trips from McGill and Ruth
by that time.
About half of the pupils at the
high school reside in those towns and
are transported forth and back daily
by the carryalls. The policy of the
school management is that 1t would
be unfair to them for the school to
continue while that or any consid-
cradle percentage of the pupils can
not attend. 1t would disarrange and
upset all class alignment and organ
ization making for a destruction OF
the qualities Of spirit, zeal and school
morale, defeating the main objects
of the class system of instruction.
There is a belief that the spring
vacation for the high school will
have to be foregone to make up for
this weeks loss of time, but such has
not as yet been announced.

At a conference between the of ficers of the Music Study club, R. s. Douglas of the Jefferson theatre, and Charles R. Baker, business man ager of the San Carlo Grand Opera company, who arrived in Birming- ham on Saturday, scale of prices for the four performances of that or ganization at the local playhouse on January 25, 26 and 27 was decided upon which constitutes a substantial reduction in the schedule of rates previously arranged and advertised.
 It was explained to MT. Baker that it is the policy of the local musical body to bring to Birmingham the very best in musical and operatic at- fractions, and at a cost which all students of music and music lovers can reach.
 In this way it is proposed to instill the love of this form of art into tEe city's cultural elements and in that way keep its artistic advancement quite apace with it's commercial progress, thereby performing a sub stantial constructive work.
 When the objects of Music Study club were outlined to the opera rep resentatiye, he consented to the price cided upon. now ranges from three dollars for the best seats to seventy five cents for the cheaper ones, with the Saturday matinee prices still cor respondingly lower.

RECORD BREAK |NG AUDIENCE AT THE SUNDAY CONCERT
Singing of Folk Songs in 0b- Servation of Fosters Anni-
 versary and Flute Solo < Are Features

Everybody had a part in the or Music association at the Lyric theatre Sunday afternoon. and a record breaking audience pronounced it one of the best of the year. Four Instrumental trio. two soprano solos, and three numbers by the orchestra comprised the unusual program that was a part of a nationwide observ ance of Stephen Foster day. From "old Folks at Home" to a selection from Madame Butterfly" music lovers revelled in real feast of light compositions
 The flute solo of Vincent DeMii- ita, "valse Espagnole" was bright. artistic. and Andalusian. MT. DeMil- ita Is unquestionably one of the finest artists that has been heard in Bir- mingham. and his work was ap- preciatively received by the audience. His solo came after trio, which was played with Charles Gumprich, eel list, and Mrs. Alma Wallace Randall pianist. It was Titrs "Serenade," in which brilliant. airy notes of the flute intertwined with harmony and symmetry about trellace of rich, mellow tones from the cello, against the blending background of the piano.
 Miss Mildred Jones sang two beau tiful soprano solos. The first was Were My Song with Wings Pro vided," and the second, by far the better, was a quaint, Scotch poem, My Laddie." Miss Jon0s sang the last number with an ease and self forgetfulness that enabled her to in- terpret it dramatically and the au- dience was given a real treat.
 Birmingham audiences like op- cratic selections, and the Madame Butterfly" number by the whole or chestra was presented for the second time this season with splendid re- suits. From the plaintive, yet hope ful theme of Butterfly, that flowed like molten silver through the se- lection, to the vigorous contrast or disillusion and destruction, the effect was artistic.
 A Spanish suite, La Feria," by r. Lacombe was delightfully."- executed. It consisted of the flashy "Toreador," " dainty "Serenade," and lively Tar antella." The overture was F. von Suppes Light Cavalry" An urpro- grammed number was aan arrange ment of Cranfield-s Little Sou brette," by Zamenick.

C0UE RESENTS CLAIM HE IS NOT WELL READ IN HIS CHOSEN FIELD.

NEW YORK, Jan. 14.-(Special from the North American Newspaper Alliance. .)-Adverse criticism leveled at M. Ccue by medical men to the effect that he is neither scientific nor deeply read brought prompt reply from the Frenchman. He said:
 Ut has been pointed out to me that certain groups of scientists have made statements in the press saying that am not scientific and in their opinion I am not deeply learned nor widely read man. They are right when they say I am not scientific man; wrong when they imply have not been student of subject which has engrossed my life.
 T am not a scientist in the sense they interpret the word and never claim to be.
 ITO qualify registered chemists. France calls for certain fundamental knowledge derived from study of va rious scientific subjects, knowledge of which I have.
 Perhaps I might call myself a specialist: that is what I have as- pired to be.

My only claim is to have adapted well known theories to practical use, and to have developed and demonstrated certain additional theories"

PROGRESs|VES ARE OPENLY SEE K N | HARD|NG's DEFEAT
Third Party Will Be Last Re- sort First Attack to Be Made Within Repub- l.
 Iican Ranks
WASHINGTON BUREAU I
 THE AGE-HERALD Washington, D. C., Jan. fl

The "progressives" in Congress have initiated movement to secure the enactment of direct primary laws in nine states in which the repub- lican party has an even chance to win in presidential elections.
 If they succeed in their plans. there will be 26 states which in 1924 will elect by vote of the people delegates to the republican convention of that year. The number of these delegates so elected will be 713. In the next republican convention, nomination will be achieved by vote estimated slightly in excess of 500.
 The facts make it plain to Wash ington political observers, it is said, that the organization of third party is regarded by "progressives" as matter only of final resort. They are openly and frankly campaigning to the end that President Harding might not be retained as chief mag istrate of the nation.
 Seek Harding's Defeat
 It Is said that they feel certain that if the next convention is com posed of a majority of delegates elected by the people rather than hand picked" by politicians, Hard ing will be defeated for renomination, a progressive" will be nominated and the necessity of adopting more drastic methods to secure their end eliminated
 The plan contemplates the taking over of the republican organization by the "progressives'' and radicals and not the abandonment of the or ganization. It is said that the pro gressives' are convinced that third party would result in the election of democrat. It is a man from their own ranks whom they would elect. it is made plain.
 If the plan fails, and Harding is again nominated, there seems to be doubt as to the resultant activity of the more radical element of the pro gressive" wing. 1t Is said that Sen ator LaFollette and Senator Norris might actually bolt It is anticipated, however, that Senator Borah and Sem ator Johnson and other of their type, would take their medicine and remain within the fold
 The plan of ''progre ressives" is known to democratic leaders, and it's development Is being watched with great interest.
