Straw Hats Are
Already i'm
Vogue

While residents in the east
and middle west are trying to
figure out if it is safe to re-
move their Gar-lap3, without
running tho risk of getting their
ears frozen, the well dressed
man in Imperial Valley has don
ned his summer headgear and is
sporting around in the latest
models OF straw hats.
Yesterday one or two
"straws" were noticed on the
streets. Today there was de-
cided increase in the number,
and from now on the usual
"felt" and the usual derby
will be relcgated to the hack
ground.
"'Straws show which way the
wind blows and it looks as
though the wind is blowing
summer right into the lap of
Imperial Valley. Part of the
day is feels that way, too.

OPERA IN ENGLISH
PLEASES AUDIENCE
Mozart's ''Impresario" Given Ex-
cellent Performance by
Fine Cast.

The presentation of Mozart's light
opera, "The Impresario," by a small
cast of artists at the National Theater
yesterday afternoon was unique
event in local musical entertainment
1t offered proof that opera, when
given Intelligent, careful transla-
ton. may be most enjoyable to an
American audience when sung in the
English language. There are those
who say that this concerted effort in
America to have opera sung in the
native tongue is futile, as many sing
ers make their English as unintelli-
gfbie to an audience as the foreign
languages. The five singers yester-
day gave remarkably fine enuncia-
tion and dramatic shading that added
much to the emphasis of the words
themselves and to the enjoyment of
the subtleties of Mozart's piquant
plot
The music of Mozart is always ex-
quiste in finish and in the delicately
f1orid embroidering of the melodious
| themes. To be able to sing Mozart
well is the ultimate aim of musicianly
singers. The English translation pro-
vided The Impresario," by the late
Henry Edward krehbiel, is Shavian
in tone and a perfect lyric parallel
for Mozart's amiably sarcastic plot
text and music were admirably COM
plemented by setting and costumes.
The plot is of universal appeal. 1t
has poignancy for the American au-
dience of today, with its underlying
laughter at managers who insist on
employing only foreign artists. as they
feel their audiences will not appre-
ciate native talent
Henri Scott, famous bass of the
Metropolitan opera company, showed
finished artistry and a big, mellow
voice in the role of Emanuel
Schikaneder, the harassed and diplo-
matte impresario.
Hazel Huntington and Lottice How-
ell, both possessing well trained, bell
like voices of coloratura quality, were
charming personalities in their roles
as well as excellent singers, delight
ing with their skillful breath control
and ripping cadenzas. Added interest
was given Miss Hun tin gton's appear
ance, as she is a. Washington girl.
Harold Hansen was that rara avis,
a fine tenor with natural tenor quail
ity, rather than a high baritone. He
made the part of Mozart realistic and
| charming; Francis Tyler good
| baritone, was a delightful lover in
| the little play. All the singers showed
| dramatic talent and clever restraint
| of gesture in portraying their roles.
Willard Sektberg, in the unobtrusive e
role of the pianist-director,w was more
| than adequate in completing the well
| chosen cast. His accompaniment was
sympathetic and easy at all times T.
| Arthur Smith Co. is to be congratu-
lated upon bringing so rare a treat
| to Washington music lovers.

FiUe-Year School
Building Program,

In order to speed up the large

thorized by Congress the Commits
sloners may authorize Municipal
Achitect Harris to call in private
architects to assist In the prepara-
fion or the plans. Under the law
the Commissioners are empowered
TO spend small percentage of the
cost of each building in the prepa-
ration of drawings.
The Congress which has just
closed authorized the total of
s4,l16.500 for school building con-
struction, which just about equals
the first one-fifth OF the $4,000, 900
hve-year-building program.
or the total sum now available
$2'631,50o was made available out

atlon act for the next fiscal year

1t is an almost unprecedented sit
uation, however, for the Republican
party placed itself on record at the
last national convention by affirmin g
the World Court proposal in the Re-
publican platform. There is no other
business before the Senate that needs
right of way. There is no political
reason at this time why there should
be hesitancy, as no election is immi-
nent. Democrats favor it, Repub-
licans in large numbers cannot open
ly object to it, and President Cocl-
idge wants It,
The Senate by blocking considera-
ton would be giving an example of
what Vice President Dawes talked
about in his inaugural speech He
said minority could defeat a ma
Jority. In this case a handful of Sen
ators can block considerations 1t re-
qutres. however, only a majority to
discharge the foreign relations COM
mittee from considering the proposal
and forcing 1t to the open Senate.
Then two-thirds vote could be OBJ
talEed and cloture rule invoked if
the Senate really wanted to ratify
the protocol. The same two-thirds
which is necessary to close debate
would be in favor. naturally, of rati-
Tying the protocol
Long Delay Il Possible.
If the Senate abandons the world
court proposal and permits it to go
over another year it is a question
whether American adherence will
come for two years more, because
there Will be other things of a domes-
tic character crowding for attention,
and il usually has been an effective
argument for opponents of the court
TO insist that domestic matters were
far more pressing.
The next few days furnish the best
opportunity the world court has ever
had TO get through the Senate. If
the Republican leadership can hold its
own members in line the protocol will
be ratified. After the speech by Mr..
Coolidge on party discipline and regu-
larity his supporters think it would
be poor policy for Republican Sena-
tors to stand in the way of action by
those who want to vote. And there
are two-thirds in the Senate who fa-
vor the world court proposal. There
always have been.

MRS. DENN|STOUN
ENDS TESTIMONY
Tells of Friendship for Lady
Carnarvon, Now Wife of
Former Mate.

By the Associated Press.
LONDON, March 6.-The friendship
that once existed between the former
Countess of Caruarvon and Mrs. Dor
othy Muriel Dennistoun was dwelt
upon today when Mrs Dennistoun
was again subjected to an ordeal OF
cross examination in the trial OF her
suit against her former husband,
Lieut.. Col Ian Onslow Dennistoun,
present husband of the former count
ess. for moneys she alleges she had
loaned him prior to their divorce.
The plaintiff declared the countess
had given her "an enormous guam
tity of clothes" and was marvellous
ly kind" during the two years she
was on terms of greatest friendship
with the late Earl of Carnarvon. dis
coyerer of the tomb OF Tutankh- :
Amen. and his wife.
Questioned whether in view of the
fact that she had previously testified
she had told Lady Carnarvon every
thing" she had revealed to her the fact
that Col. Dennistoun was the man
who sold you to Gen. Cowans, the
witness said she had never discussed
the subject with the countess. The
question had reference to Mrs. Den
nistoun's allegations that her init
macy with the late Sir John Steven
o.
master, had been eucOura ged by her
husband because of his ambition for
military advancement.
Court Again Crowded.
The fourth day of the trial found
the courtroom again filled to over
flowing, fashionably gowned and plen-
tifully befurred women being in the
majority.
The former Countess of Carnarvon.
as we'll as Mrs. Dennistoun, showed
signs today of the strain which the
long s-examination of the plain
tiff had endured. The dowager count
ess has sat beside her husband
throughout the trial.
Once when the defense counsel was
reading to Mrs. Dennistoun a letter
from her former husband beginning:
Darling, please don't go away again.
the former countess appeared quite
distressed. She covered her face with
her hands and wept, but recovered
after drinking water. The cross-ex-
animation, which had continued two
fun days, closed this afternoon.

Some one suggested it was because
