LUCCHESE in TRIUMPH
Scores Decided Hit in Del Rio Concert
Starting Texas Tour.

Del Rio, March 15.-Like a fam
ing meteor, Josephine Lucchese swept
into her native state fresh from tri-
umphs on the Pacific coast and sang
the first concert of her farewell to
Texas tour in this city.
The voice that thrilled Havana,
New York, Philadelphia and Los An
geles this last year was at its best,
and the singer carried everything be-
fore her. Del Rio never witnessed
such an ovation as greeted the young
singer after her Caro- Nome number
and the applause was deafening.
An enthusiasm that refused to be
dampened by the ardos Of the long
trans-continental trip seemed to have
found its way into Miss Lucchese's
singing and it is doubtful If the Ha-
vana opera heard such music as the
Texas nightingale put forth last night
for her own home folks.
Her program included many beauti-
fol colOratura numbers and she was
compelled to give several encores, and
after the Swiss Echo number many
were loath to let her continue with the
regular program. However, an en-
core satisfied even more and the pro.
gram went on to its triumphant con.
clusion.
Mrs. Julien Paul Blitz, another
Texan, is Miss Lucchese's accompan
list this year. and her tour is beinl
directed by William II. Branch of Sar
Antonio. She will sing in San An
tonic, Houston, Yoakum. Victoria
Fort Worth and Dallas before return
ing to the East for several concer
dates prior to sailing for Europe.
The Del Rio Music Club sponsored
the local concert, which is its frs
with such a celebrated artist.

Seven Principal Air Routes.
=. The French air program for 1924 is
ambitious, comprising not less than
seven big passenger and freight lines
namely. Paris to London, Paris to
Brussels, Paris to Amsterdam and
Hamburg, Paris to Prague, Vienna
Budapest, Bucharest and Constantine.
pie, Paris to Warsaw. Nice to Cor.
eica and Toulouse to Casablanca and
Dakar. 1t takes only nine hours to &c
from Paris TO Prague by airplane in
comparison with thirty-six hours oil
more by rail. 1t costs less than 40C
francs to go from Paris to London
by air-that Is about $50. The rail
way fare first class is about SIS.
Besides the main lines outlined II
the program for 1924 there are variou,
branches of minor Importance which i
is hoped to establish at periods more Of
less remote in the future. One O
the most interesting of these subsidi
airy lines is that from Warsaw, Pc
land, to Moscow, Russia. Negotia
tons for its establishment have beer
under way for some time, but hav,
made little progress because nobody
seems willing TO guarantee expenses.
Lines Do Not Pay Financially.
1t is precisely this question of fl
nancial guarantees which constitute!
the keystone Of European commercial
aviation. As yet none of the big Brit
ish or French lines finds it possible t
pay its own way. Every one of then
has to be subsidized. Outlays by tn,
French government for air subsidies
last year amounted to 10000, 00(
francs (about S2,500,000) and viii
amount to 60,000,000 francs $4,000,
600 this year.
Europeans wonder why there are n,
great passenger or freight air line
America while there are so many here
Some accept the fact as evidence o
backwardness on the part of the Unit
ed States. The answer probably is lac
of ubsidies-subsidies such as Presi

refused for the United States merchan

Simple Way to Get
Rid of BLdckheads

There is one simple, safe and sure
way that never fails to get rid of
blackheads, that is to dissolve theta.
To do this get two ounces Of calo-
mite powder from any drug store
sprinkle little on a hot, wet cloth
rub over the blackheads briskly--
wash the parts and you will be sur
prised how the blackheads have dis
appeared. Big blackheads, little black
heads, no matter where they are,
simply dissolve and disappear. Black
heads are simply a mixture Of dust
and dirt and secretions that form in
the pores Of the skin. The calonite
powder and the water dissolve the
blackheads so they wash right out
leaving the Iores free and clean and
in their natural condition.

THE DESIRE FOR ACHIEVEMENT

In any effort that one makes tc
estimate the tone and temper O,
modern youth, perhaps the first place
must be given to the desire for per
sonal achievement. Recent years
have greatly stimulated the ambition
of American young people.
The travel that young men enioyed
as result of the war helped largely
to produce this result. Fellows that
previously would have Just lived along
In one narrow groove of life, were
taken out of their home environment
and transported around the country.
Many of them crossed the ocean and
saw great and famous cities. They
met a wide variety of people and got
new ideas.
This experience gave them wider
view of human achievement They saw
the growth of cities, the developn ent
of industries. 1t fired many of them
with greater ambition, the desire to
take bigger part in life. Many who
otherwise would have been contented
to settle down in commonplace Job,
were impelled to seek broader fields
of effort. 1t stimulated restlessness
in some minds. But in many cases. II
woke them up to the desire for larger
things.
One practical result was seen in
a great increase in the number OF
young people who were seeking high
er education. They had come to rea-
lie that to get better results. they
must know more, prepare themselves
better for life.
America thrills with competitive
spirit. The young men ardently battle
for athletic honors. The curbstone
loafer type is being replaced by the
athlete. The school whispers words
OF Indictment, and tell youth that the
world is mastered by knowledge. Lit
erature and plays and movies glorify
success. They may overestimate the
value of money. but at least they are
rousing American young people from
indifferentism

from a distance and difficult angles,
and a free throw; while Marx at

Review as the "Big Stiff" made the

Friday evening of this week the
local team will probably have their
hardest game of the season before
the district finals, when they meet
Alexandria on the latter's floor. The
locals defeated Alex handily at Sank
Centre. They have developed womb
erfully since that game and if they
can show the same speed and &C
curacy in this game as last Friday
evening they will bring home the
bacon. At any rate they will not
quit until the final whistle.
Neither Coach Otis, the Herald or
any of the sane thinking fans of
Sank Centre, are claiming district
honors for the local quint, but they
are convinced that the high school
lads will make a creditable showing.
Win or lose, they are credit to the
school, and a credit to Sank Centre.

pound on our great volume of business
comes out of our much greater efficiency in
butter manufacture and marketing, out of
the higher sales price of Blue Valley butter
and out of the savings we make by cutting

LOSt---A Thousand
Dollars

The Sank Centre farming community
lost One Thousand Dollars or more on cream
during the month of December. Figure it
out for yourself:
The Blue Valley SWEET CREAM
Creamery paid the farmers who sold it Spec
ial Sweet Cream during that month an aver
age price of $500 cents per pound of butter
fat. If all the cream sold in other local mar
kets and for which the farmers received
only 63 cents and less, had been sold as Spec
ial Sweet Cream to the Blue Valley SWEET
CREAM Creamery, it would have brought at
least One Thousand Dollars more into the
farmers pockets.
AS it was, the community lost One
Thousand Dollars in that one month, and De-
cember is month of only low cream prOduc-
ton.
