FIVEOPERAS'N .
 THE REPERTOIRE
San Carlo Company To Present Interesting Program
 = This Week

Were it possible to take a plebiscite or popular poll of the operas Birming- ham music lovers would most like to hear it is very probable, that those chosen for presentation by the San Carlo Grand Opera company on Thurs day, Friday and Saturday, would be selected;, Certsinlg it would be diff ficult1 to iimagine ta squintet of operas of great interest and charm than Car men," "Rigoletto," Hansel and Gretel," "Gavalleria Rusticanae and FtPagliacci.", The first three. belong to three distinct schools of opera, the French, the Italian of Verdi's early period, and the light German while the last two,, which are always 6racketed, belong to the more recent Italian period, in swhich the dramatic side is strongly emphasized:
 Fortune Gallo is bringing brilliant galaxy, of, artists to the Jefferson theatre on Thursday, March 6, and each and every one of the works men tioned will shave perfect presentation. Alice Gentls's impers0nation of Car- men has become famous, and by many she is compared with Calve herself in the role of the w&yWard cigarette girl. iA A<4n 1nSCkSotItt tttCAAAoSi of the Hansel- -Gretel opera will be Miss Mary Fabian, formerly of Birmingham, who made such a successful debut with the San Carlo company. at the Century theatre, New York, last fall, and who has since been singing important roles with the Chicago Opera company. -J ',.
 Lovers of the brilliant coloratura style of singing should delight. in Con. suelo Escobar as. Gilda. in Rigoietto, for this young. artist has been winning golden opinions whereter she has been heard since her sensational success. in New York. As strong contrast with Miss Escobar we areto bear that great American dramatic soprano, Blanca SarOya. in the role of Santuzza in "Cavalleria Rustincana." In this she is said to reach the highest peaks of tragic acting and emotional singing. With her in this opera will be Manuel Salazar, the tenor star, of the Met ropolitan Oepra, who will also be heard in Carmen" Each opera, in fact. will enlist the services of singing actors of the highest eminenee, and productions of .all round excellence are assured. .

BRMINGHAMGRL
 IN FAIRY OPERA
Mary Fabian Sings Leading
 Role She Sang In New York

The return of Mary Fabian, of the San Carlo Company, to her native heath is to be signalized by the inclu- sion in the repertoire of operas to be sung in Birmingham of that delightful fairy opera "Hansel and Gretel" This : is the work in which Miss Fabian made such marked success last Fall when she appeared in it with the San Carlo Company in New York and elsewhere. Since the she has been singing with the Chicago Opera Company, but she gladly seized the opportunity of the San Carlo Company's visit to Birming- ham to sing here. She has been speci- ally engaged from the Chicago Opera Company to sing this role here.
 The other operas to be presented here are, as already announced, Carmen" !" "Rigoletto," "Cavalleria Rusticana" and "Pagliacci." In addition to the bril- liant singers whose names have been given, Fortune Gallo is sending to Bir- mingham three charming young danse- uses from the famous Pavley Oukrain- sky ballet, who will dance in such of the operas as call for dancers. Their names are the Misses Shermont, Ben nett, and Chapman, and they have been especially trained by Pavley and Oukrainsky and apeared with them during the wonderfully successful sea- son of the San Carlo Grand Opera Com pany at the Century theatre, New York, in September and October last. They are in fact dancers of exceptional tal- ent.
 It is by touches such as these that Fortune Gallo adds to the ensemble and effect of his productions, and Bir- mingham audiences vii be gratified by his obvious desire to give Shem the greatest possible amount of pleasure. More than half dozen of the artists in the company which is visiting us have achieved fame with the Metropol- itan Opera Company, New York, the Chicago Civic Opera Company, and at leading European opera houses, and in the case of each opera to be given at the Jeffersons theatre, starting with Carmen" on Thursday, March 9th, We may anticipate perfect ensemble, in- cluding both chorus and orchestra, and picturesque stage productions as re- gards scenery and costumes.

The Richard Barthelmess of old with a nice close modern haircut, will be seen as the star of Twenty -One," the First National picture to be shown at the Trianon theatre this week. "Twen- ty-One" is modern story, having been adapted to the screen from the novel Wild Apples" written by Grace Me Gowan Cook and Alice McGowan. In his last two vehicles, "The Bright Shawl" and "The Fighting Blade,'' pc riod pictures, Dick had to wear his hair long. In Twenty One" Barthelmess is said to have a role that is particu- larly well suited to his talents. He has the part of a young man who in order to circumvent the plans of his wealthy parents to forestall his mar riage to a poor girl runs away to the city to remain in hiding until he is 21. In the city he becomes a taxicab driver as a means of gaining a liveli- hood and as such encounters some strange and exciting adventures.

IS NOT PRINCE
Son Of Princess Mary Bears Title

LONDON, March 1.-Master Las cefles, son and heir of Princess Mary, Viscount Lascelles, is not a prince of the royal blood, because royal war rant of December II, 1917, debars> him from being so. This answer to a question which has caused much speculation is given in til preface of the new "Debrett" for 1921.
 The royal warrant in question say: . that none but the children of the son of the sovereign and the eldest living son of the eldest son of the Prince Wales shall have and hold the styl, title, or attribute of royal highness with their titular dignity of prince O. princess"
 The warrant excludes mention of ali grandchildren of the king who may b the children of the kings daughters.
 The Hon, George Henry Hubert Las celIes, therefore, initiates the new re- gime.

Probably a large number of them make their own clothes because dressmaking is one of the most popular subjects in the Los Angeles high schools. They wear their clothes smartly. and possibly get some of their ideas of dress from the screen players they see every day"

Vermin Discourage Hogs
From Returning Profit

Vermin such as worms, lice, and the
like. may keep the hogs from growing
and cost the farmer In dollars and
cents much more than the time and
expense Of fighting them, according to
the New York State College of Agrf-
culture at Ithaca.
In fact, the college goes further and
says that most farms where hogs have
been kept for any length of time on
the same premises are infested with
parasites which will give trouble II
they are not controlled.
There are several kinds of worms
that infest hogs. and each kind re.
quires different treatment. # hogs
are suspected Of being infested with
worms. the owners should get in touch
with a veterinarian, the college states.
Ono farmer Of which the college
learned had about. 70 head of pigs
averaging between so and rs pounds.
These pigs became stunted and made
very little gains, and some of them
died. Upon inspection they were
found badly infested with round worms
and with lice. They were then sue
cessfully treated as advised by a vet.
erinarian.
These pigs were also treated for lice,
prepared dip In large barrel being
used. The pigs were small enough to
be easily handled and were immersed
In the barrel Of dip. This treatment
was repeated In weeks time to get
the lice or nits that were left from
the previous dipping.
They were then transferred to q
fresh pasture where they were fin
lshed for the early fall market.

MINERAL FEED FOR
HOGS MEETS FAVOR

Mineral feed for hogs getting the
ordinary corn-belt swine rations has
shown Its dollars and cents value In
experimental work done at the Iowa
state college. Even where growing
pigs had access to good pasture such
as rape or bluegrass the benefits of
minerals have been outstanding. The
addition of 20 per cent of tankage to
the ration of pigs on rape pasture was
not sufficient to supply the necessary
mineral matter. In case the protein
supplement-. should be soy-bean or lin
seed oilmeal in place of tankase. the
mineral deficiency would be still
greater.
John Evvard. the man in charge of
The investigation, recommends that
suitable mineral mixture be fed all
classes and grades of swine. II pos
sible. feed 1t in a self-feeder prefera-
bly, inside and easily accessible. Such
mixture may be composed of the
following: Common salt, 20 pounds
finely ground raw bonemeal or steamed
bonemeal, 40 pounds, and finely ground
high calcium limestone, wood ashes,
Hheiy Biounu oyster shells, clnm SnellS
or lime thoroughly air slaked, 40
pounds. To each 100 pounds of mix
ture add 10 pounds of sulphur, If 1t Is
desired, and from one-half to one
ounce of potassium iodide. Mix
thoroughly.
Besides the immediate value realized
from feeding minerals to hogs there
has been found to be n cumulative
value in the case of breeding stock. At
the Iowa experiment station the first
generation of sows fed minerals
showed but slight advantage over gifts
red no minerals. The second genera.
ton showed some positive signs of
benefit, chiefly In an increased height
and length. In the third generation
the advantages were plainly evident in
added gains in weight. 1t appears that
there Is tendency for the benefits Of
minerals to show up to greater degree
as the generations unfold.
For breeding swine the following
minerals mixed together are recon.
mended: Common salt. spent bone
black, wood ashes sulphur, high cal
cium limestone, glauber's salt. epson
salt, copperas and potassium iodide.

FAvoRs PURCHASING AGENT
Gov. Sweet Urges Abolition of State
Auditing Board at Budget
Meeting

Denver.-The state of Colorado
should have a purchasing agent and
comptroller to obtain supplies for the
state, thereby doing away with the
State Auditing Board, composed of the
five state executive officers, Gov.
William Il. Sweet told representatives
of every state educational, penal and
eleemosynary institution at u meeting
called by the chief executive and
Harry Cassaday, state budget and eff
ficiency commissioner, TO formulate
ming Jan. l, 1924.
The governor believes, he said, that
the present system of passing vouch-
ers through the state auditing board
was antiquated and permitted individ-
ual members of the board to play pol
itics If occasion arose. Moreover,
such system was wasteful and un-
businesslike, according to the governor.
All supplies purchased by the state
should be procured through the pur-
chasing agent appointed by the gov
ernor, subject to the supervision of the
comptroller, thereby co-Ordinating the
effort now wastefully expended by the
various boards, departments and COM
missions, the governor declared.
The governor intends TO formulate
bill containing these provisions for
presentation to the next legislature he
declared.

preparations for the next biennial term

Stong. In almost every Instance 1t
was agreed that the next appropriation
should be increased to permit proper
and healthy expansion.
1t was suggested that the mill levy
for the various state educational in
stitutions might be raised as one
means out of the difficulty, thereby
increasing the amount of revenue de-
rived from this source.
At later meeting it was proposed
to consider a bill providing for the in
creased mill levy, If 1t were deemed
necessary.
Commissioner Casaday announced
he intended to devise uniform re-
port blank for all institutions so that
they might specify their needs for the
next biennial period.
Upon return of the blanks to the
office of the state budget and eff
cheney commissioner work on devising
budgets for the various Institutions
will proceed so that 1t may be finished
by the time the next legislature con-
venes, Commissioner Casaday said.
