PrIma Donna Offers Varied
Program Of Songs at
National
By BESSIE NfacBRIDE

Anna Case, looking quite like
q charming Dresden China prima
donna, gave song recital at the
National Theater yesterday after.
noon, presenting group If old
italian songs, a group of German
songs that still showed the italian
influence, though she included
Bach and Handel in the list, and
then some delectable French fol.
lowed by a group in English in
which she included the lovely
Lilacs" of Rachmaninoff.
Miss Case impresses by her style
ana phrasing in the larger songs,
nut they are an unfortunate choice.
The quality of her voice and Of
her personality are particularly
happy in the lighter things. She
over-SSrains for the big effects at
tempting dramatic vigcr she does
not possess.
The real musical values Of her
French songs disclosed the artist.
IN mood, in delicacy, and in vocal
art. Her legato in Flegier's la
beau reve" was very lovely, the
light clear articulation of her "pit-
ter patter" Of French in D'Erian-
gers lovely "Chanson Legere" most
effective. Pierne's ever.turning
Mill" was a.. gem filled with mo.
ton, yet with tranquility.
, Excellent Pianist.
1t was here that Edouard Gend.
ron, at the piano, made one wish
to hear. him alone. He possesses
allE the tone palette of the modern
pianist, which was notable through
out the recital, bur particularly In
!. the Pierne music and in the very
Frenchy Listening of Maurice
Besley, a charming song in the
group in English.
Miss Case substituted CANCELS
Ever Bright and Fair from Han.
deIs Theodore" Tor the Mozart
Marriage Of Figaro" aria. and
omitted one by Poldowsky. She
gave as encores Robin, Robin, :"
BY Spross, ITO You," by Rodendeck
and ''The Night Wind by Farley.
The "Joy" of Winter Watts was
far too big for her, and with many
songs that gave pleasure it is to be
regretted that this little artisr
stretches her vocal chords It'll thew
clang, instead Of being delicately
musical-which is her meter"
The concert was presented, by the
T. Arthur Smith concert bureau.

CALLSD. C..GOOD
BUSINESS
SECTION
Edward J. Farley Tells Why
Chain Store Was
Placed Here :

Washington, although it has COM
paratively no industrial population,
Is one of the best business towns
in the country, according to Edward
j. Farley, who recently arrived in
the Capital to take over the direc.
ton Of the Farley chain clothing
stores, 1877 Seventh street north
west.
For this reason, Mr.. Farley said,
the city was chosen as the site for
one of the largest Of the Farley
stores, of which there are now
almost a hundred, located across
the United States from Boston to
California.
Mr.. Farley is the youngest Of
the seven members of his family
associated with the Farley chain Of
stores. Under his immediate direc-
ton will be the group of stores
located in Washington and the
southeast section of the country.
I'VE plan to make the Washing
ton. Farley store one of the largest
and best.stocked of all of our
stores" Mr.. Farley said. 1.-THE
buyers of Washington are Of as
good class as those in any city
in the country and we intend to
furnish them with only the best of
clothing"
The Farley chain expansion In
the past few months has taken
place in six States. New stores
have been opened in Oklahoma,
California, Iowa, Missouri, Indiana
and Kentucky. The majority of the
older stores are in the southwestern
States.
J. J. Smith, for many years asso-
ciated with the Farley stores. in
Texas, has been appointed as man
ager of the Washington store,

RADIO BILL NOW
OPPOSED BY
HOOVER
Asks Congress to Defer All
Legislation Proposed at
Present Session
BY ROBERT s. THORNBURGH.
International News Service.

Virtual withdrawal of the sup
port Of Secretary of Commerce
Hoover for any radio legislation at
the present session Of Congress was
announced today.
Although a strong advocate Of
the White radio bill at the last
session, Hoover now regards de-
velopment Of the radio art as
progressing SO rapidly that drastic
regulatory legislation at this time
would be dangerous.
Secretary Hoover dispatched his
recommendations relative to radio
to Congressman White Rep.) Of
Maine, chairman Of the Marine and
Fisheries Committee, today.
In general Hoover urged that
the committee go slow on radio
legislation until the industry's de-
velopment has recalled a more even
plane and until changes in broad
casting practices are less likely.
May Push Bill Anyhow.
From members of the Marine
and Fisheries Committee, which
has charge of radio legislation in
the House, it was learned that there
is opposition to Hoover's new posi-
ton. Some members wanted. to
appeal directly to the President to
get the Administration support for
the White bill, which was pre-
scented at the last session of Con-
gress.
Congressman. White, while under
stood to have no objection to a COM
promise radio bill in the place of
the White act, stands for the adop-
ton Of some sort Of radio legisla-
ton before the curtain drops on the
Sixty-eighth Congress.
The Government is now opera ting
under radio bill passed In 1912,
which is obsolete. Secretary
Hoover is virtually dictator over
radio, holding on the I'D" because
both the big radio interests Of the
country as well as scientists and
amateurs are pleased with the way
he has directed regulation.
Committee members said the "dic-
tatorship might fall to some one
less sympathetic with radio science
than Hoover and thGt a chaotic
condition would be precipitated."
Members Back White.
Fpr this reason White, hacked by
his committee, stand for q new
radio bill.
Department Of Commerce officials
are particularly opposed to a pro-
vision Of the White bill saying that
licenses for broadcasting snail not
be granted to radio monopolies.
They assert this provision leaves to
the department the determination
Of what is a monopoly. Another
provision prohibiting assurances of
broadcasting licenses except In the
public interest" is opposed by the
according to members
OF the House committee.

Mulberry Tree Gone From France

Some years before the war. If you
wandered through the vineyards and
fields Of Indian corn in the lower
Rhone valley. you could see that be-
tween the vines and between the corn
there were mulberry trees. These
trees were never allowed to bear
fruit and they were grown exclusive
ly for their young leaves, which
served to nourish millions Of silk =
worms for the looms Of Lyons.
Today almost all these mulberry
trees have disappeared. They had
begun to go before 1914 for It was
found that cocoons could be impor-
ted cheaper from abroad than the
worm could make them in France.
and the trade gradually disappeared.
The cost Of transport and the fall
OF the franc have now combined to
make 1t very profitable business
to breed silkworms once more, but
the mulberry trees have been cut
down and it will be q year or two
before they will bear enough leaves
to enable the country to reduce it's
importations of silk.
They certainly added a charming
note Of green to the rather arid pro-
vencal landscape. and on esthetic
grounds the decision Of the govern
ment to encourage their replanting by
a subsidy would be welcome. Mis-
trail. 1t will be remembered, has some
charming pages in "Mirelle" where
he described the silkworm culture

Chicago. Oct. 19-More than 100
persons were injured today when a
grand stand holding 1000 spectators
at . football game collapsed.
Immediately after the accident the
management Of the park ordered the
gates closed and It was two hours
later before police and ambulances
could gain entrance to remove the
injured. No explanation for the ac-
ton was given by the management.
A few minutes before the game was
to start. the stand. packed with root
ers. began to settle. In minute it
was on the ground. the spectators
buried in the debris.
Shouts of the spectators and
groans from those hurt prompted
people outside the park to call the
police who. upon arriving. found The
gates barred. An attendant said
nothing had happened. Two hours
later relatives and friends began ar
irving at the Pullman Hospital with
the injured, and the police were
rushed to the park again. Investi.
cations were Immediately started.

Getting Away From the
White Collar Jobs?

Is the young man power of AM
erica turning away from the desks
jobs back to constructive labor?
That is the question that arose in
Miss Rose c. FIELDS mind as she
talked with the men on the night
shift in the Duquesne steel mile. In
trying to discover the result of the
new eight hour day on the steel
workers, Miss Field, who is consid-
cred an expert on Industrial rela-
tons. went on with the night shift at
eleven o'clock, and in the long hours
before dawn in the glare and heat
of the giant furnaces talked init
mately with the men about the new
day.
In describing these talks in the
october Century, the reaction of the
workers to the eight hour day, and
what they are doing with their "lei-
sure Miss Field describes the young
ster of twenty-five or four, of good
family and college education, who
worked by day in the mill because
he loved it, and studied at night.

He expected to tap his heat at
five in the morning. he told me, and
invited me to come and sit with him
after that. He'd be through then
until 1t was time to leave. What he
said is food for thought. Men were
getting away from the white-collar
Idea and turning to the satisfaction
of accomplishment in constructive
labor. Is that true? Or does the
satisfaction lie primarily in the fact
that a twenty -two-year old boy in an
Office draws salary of about
twenty five dollars week. whereas
the twenty two year old in work
such as this can get pay envelop
OF eighty dollars for two weeks
work.

the wheels Of government have been
running in the opposite directions
Congress at one end of Pennsyl-
