Opera Company would include in its
repertory for Washington-any opera, in
fact, except "Salome." You have not
left space in the floor for a tank, which
is required in 'tSalome." The seating ar
rangement will be excellent. The breadth
of the auditorium brings even the last
rows within a good distance from the
stage, both for seeing and hearing. And
the shape Of your auditorium should
provide entirely effective acoustics. All

Home, Sweet Home" Mrs. Eva c. E.
Chase, who arranged the program,
will tell the STORY of the Tree"
When the American Forestry Asso-
citation. last year nationalized the
white birch as a testimonial to the
spirit of motherhood, Mrs. Chase
conceived the idea of planting the
tree, and, having submitted it to the
Anthony League, of which she is vice
president, and to the Federation of
Women's Clubs, of which she is a
member, she was requested to carry
it through under the auspices of both
organizations. She Immediately got
in touch with the American Forestry
Association, secured it's active CO.
operation and that Of Col. c. E. Sher-
rill, to the end that the association
donated the white birch-taken from
Mount Vernon-and Col Sheriff., in
charge of public grounds, offered the
facilities of his staff in the execution
of the planting and of the ceremony
of dedication.
Mrs. Coolidge will use the spade
with which the original mothers
tree was planted on the shore of
Lake Antietam, Pa, and which is the
property of the organization. 1t is
the hope of the association that be-
fore long every village, town, city
and sovereign state will have it's
white birch tree planted in some
public place to commemorate the
motherhood Of America
When Mrs. Chase presented her
project to the American Legion in
HyattSville, a white birch was
planted at the Cross in Bladensburg
to honor the gold star mothers whose
sons never returned from the war.
