TRADE EB0ARDPLANS
TO CLOSE ROSTER
viii Establish Membership
Waiting List as Soon as
1900 Mark Is Reached.

The Washington Board of Trade
soon will close its membership and
start a waiting list. For the first
time in the history of any similar or.
ganization in the National Capital this
step has been taken.
BY unanimous decision it was de-
cided that as soon as the membership
reaches $500 the roster will be closed
and applicants will be put on a wait
ing list in order of their application.
The membership Of the board is near
the $500 mark now.
The chief reason Of this step on the
part Of the Board Of Trade is its
growing inability to take care of the
large number Of people that attend its
functions. With nearly $500 members
many are forced to remain on the
outside when the regular full monthly
meetings are held.
The annual shad bake is also prov
ing problem because of the number
that has been attending these yearly
outings. Almost 1000 persons We're
handled last year on the outing AS
this affair is usually boat trip the
problem is more difficult.
The membership Of the board will
remain closed at $500 unless there
ever occurs some special reason to
alter the arrangements. Every effort
will be made to make the organization
one OF live workers with everybody ON
at least one committee, according to
Samuel j. Prescott, president of the
orga anization.
A special meeting has been called
for Wednesday night at the New
Willard Hotel. to consider further
business of the board.

Patrons Assured of Same

The subscription lists for the most
extensive season of opera yet offered
by the Washington Opera Company
have been opened, General Director
Albion announced yesterday.
For the first time III the history of
the company it is now possible to as
sure patrons the same seat for each
performance throughout the season.
Heretofore the company has been
more or less at the mercy of condi-
tions existing in the local theatrical
field. staging its productions whenever
theater was available and making
sea son subscriptions an lmpoSSibillty.
This season, however, the company
has secured the Washington Audito-
rum for it's performances and the full
schedule of five operas has been ar
ranged

The season starts November Is with
"La Tosca." which IS to be followed
on November 30 with Romeo and

In addition to these five operas,
General Director Albion is preparing
to cooperate III every way with the
Washington festival of music hackers
and put on one or two operas addi-
tional as the committee may request
in May. Mr.. Albion has in mind
heretofore unheard work of Il noted
American composer, who has al
ready won d place in the realm of
opera composition. In addition, Mr..
Albion is ready to produce one of the
old favorites among the grand operas.
The list of suarantors necessary to
assure the productions has already
reached the size of that of last year,
but because of the more extensive
work being undertaken this year, the
list is to be incred Sed. The possibili-
ties of the Washington Opera Com

Doctor Restores

TOXIC. September 15.-Strange
things in medicine and surgery
are often reported from Japan.
but one of the strangest Is the re-
cent case of girl whose three
inch tongue was eaten up to one
inch by microbes. By cauteriza-
tion, the surgeons report, they were
gan to restore one inch Of the Or
gan SO that the girl now has a
tongue two inches in length.
The patient, Miss Sonoko Tori,
l8 years old, found while she was
attending school that her tongue
apparently was getting shorter.
Within a few months the tongue
had decreased to such an extent
that the girl had difficulty in talk
ing. She consulted number of
doctors who said they could do
nothing for her. Finally one Of
the most prominent japanese sur
geons decided the tongue was "col-
onized" by unknown microbes. He
tried cauterization and cure"
apparently was effected. japanese
scientists say there Is no record Of

mental and physical fragility, to get
q divorce from her husband. a nyer
in the Royal air forces. The husband
is a craven, a weak little worm with
D. S. o. and a genteel manner that
would make a rabbit look rough. The
husbands mistake seems to have been
in doing anything terrestrial. In the
air he Is pretty much of a bruiser
On the ground he is exceptionally
timid. Unfortunately, the family
gathering place is a fiat, not dirigi-
BILE. The wife thus gets a pretty
definite impression that the husband
isn't cave-mannish enough. She meets
a dark person. Foreign he is, with
a Latin accent and ever so conceited.
In contrast with the husband, the
lounge lizard Is much less Of a mouse.
His silky movement indicates, rather,
the cat.
Well. to get through with the story,
the husband agrees to let his wife
divorce him. She writes him a letter
asking for restoration of conjugal
rights, the British court preliminary
to the sundering of another marital
tie, and he-although he just hates
to do it-writes that he won't re-
turn. On the night of the fourteenth
day-the day before the divorce Is
to be made final-the husband, load
ed with brandy, decides he won't
permit the divorce. He returns to
the fiat, announces drunkenly that
he has acquired the way of an
eagle" instead of his dove-like man
ner. This, of course. ruins the di-
vorce and, after a display of sala-

She Is dangerous to Richard de
Beauchamp, Earl Of Warwick, be-
cause she represents hitherto un-
known menace to the feudal system
of which he Is a part. And she Is
dangerous to the Archbishop of
Rheims because she represents, to
him, a far graver menace. Her heret-
ical actions plainly show that she
deals direct with God. without the
aid of church or clergy.
Together they plot her capture,
