PRESIDENT FORGING
 THE PENSION ISSUE
Chief Executive Offers a Number
 of Compromises to Problem

Buenos Aires, May 5.-With both capital and labor on strike today, de- nianding postponement in the applica- ton of the pension law, they were confronted in the morning papers with a text of a message which Presi- dent De Alvear will send to congress clearly indicating that he intends to enforce compliance with the law, but proposing number of amendments designed to meet the objection raised to it.
 The chief objections has been that the law postpones for two years es- tablishment of the scheme of benefits, meanwhile requiring the employers and employees to contribute to the pension fund without knowing when or in what proportion the employees will get their money back.
 The president proposes that 30 years be fixed as the maximum of service before pensions are receivable, that employees incapacitated for work after Is years of service be pensfoned. that pension contributions be return cd to foreigners leaving the country and to women employees in case Of marriage, that employees earning less than 100 pesos monthly be required to contribute only per cent of their salaries instead of per cent, and that contributions as insurance against unemployment and sickness be optional.
 It was understood the president would hand a copy of the message to representatives of the employers who planned te assemble in front of the government house this afternoon to protest against the laws enforcement.

 WORLD FOR THE LYRIC
Great National Lyric Theater for Rome Will Also Accommodate About 1000 Persons.

Rome, May 5.-The Great National Lyric theater for Rome, planned by Premier Mussolni and approved by the council of ministers, is to give the Eternal City an opera house worthy of comparison with those of Vienna, Paris and Berlin. or even the Metro politan in New York.
 The stage will be the largest in the world and the theater will seat 1000 spectators, with stalls covering the whole ground floor, three rows of boxes above and large amphitheater. It will be situated in a large open space in the Via Vittorio Veneto. the most beautiful modern street in Rome, betweee the historic monastery of the Capucins and Palace of the queen mother. It will cost about 30.- 000,0o0 lire.
 The design already has been pre- pared by the Architect Marcello Pia- centini. The exterior recalls the an- cient Roman Theatre of Marcellus and the interior also will be on classic lines but will include all the latest modern ideas on hygiene, ventilation and safety.
 The expense of erection will be pro- vided by private company controlled by the state, which will subsidize the theater through tax levied on the performance of all operas of which the copyrights have expired.

A Chance to Shine

THE young man of today need
= not leave the farm for a ca
reer. True, present conditions are
not conducive to large financial
returns, but these conditions will
undoubtedly change. Those who
are in position to know think that
we have reached the low ebb and
now farm products are on the up
grade.
We have only begun to solve our
agricultural problems. There is a
large UNEMPLOYED field ahead of US.
The young man with brains and
a sympathetic heart can find ample
opportunities for making name
for himself on the farm.
In addressing national group
of young people recently, President
Head, Of the American Bankers
Association, said he believes the
opportunities for making name
as a leader IN agriculture are
greater than making name in
the position of Congressman.
He thinks the day is coming when
a man shall take pride in saying,
II am an American farmer"
Any young man who has a lik-
ing for things rural can we'll af-
ford to consider preparing himself
to become good farmer, for after
he has made success of his farm,
he will find abundant opportunity
for leadership in his community
