The industries which offer the great

the least desirable for investors and
workers a few years hence. On the

least popular businesses, like street
transportation, may in reality ofer
the great test opportunities both Tor IN
vestors and employees.

Statistics on employment always
show a favorable trend a this time of
year. compared with the Winter
months. but they are not showing up
quite so well today a. compared with
year ago. These statistics show
that there has been a slightly down
ward movement both in employment
and paNro' trends during the past
four months. This slackening has,
however been gradual and no definite
industry has been severely affected.
AS a result. labor supply Is now plen'
tiful in practically all industries and
labor disturbances are few. AS EN-
ployment slackens, the efficiency of
the workers correspondingly mcrea ases.
The slackening in the demand for
la Dor has not been sufficient to affect
wages Although the trend in the
cost of living has been slightly down
ward since February. vet the recent
increase in retail food prices should
curtail further decreases during the
Summer. Statistics further show that
wage Increases still greatly exceed
wages reductions, although these in
creases have been voluntary and
brought about without strikes. The
only bad industrial situation today is
at Passaic. \. j.. although certain
of the railroad employees threaten TO
strike this F'all for wartime wages.
The failure of the general strike in
England Is having SOLDERING effect
throughout the industrial and financial
world especially in connection with
investment prices.

MUSIC MEMORY CONTEST
(By Marguerite Wing.)
GIUSEPPE VERDI (1S13 1901)
Aida-"Triumphal March.

This supreme master of Italian
opera was born at Roncole, Italy,
Oct. 9, 1913. He early showed
decided talent for music, being the
village organist at ten. But when
he applied at the Italian Conserva-
tory for admission later, he was re-
fused on the excuse that he did not
reveal sufficient musical talent. And
yet this was the same composer who,
few years later, was to astonish
the world with his brilliance and the
sustained excellence of his operas.
His first opera "Oberto" is crude,
yet shows his undeveloped genius.
Others appeared later, which strike
more familiar chord in our men,
es,-"Rigoletto" I'll Trovatore",
la Traviata", "Othello'', "Falstaff"
and the ever-popular Aida. Some
/ of these operas have plots which
are crude and decidedly unpleasant,
but they are all redeemed and made
acceptable by Verdi's brilliant touch.
Like all grand opera, Aida" is
tragic-and ends gloomily. Of all
his operas, this is the finest of YER
dis, probably because it came at a
later period in his life, when he had
ceased experimenting and had gain
ed assurance through practice.
''Aida" is also the most popular Of
all of the Italian operas. This is
partly due to the romantic plot,
partly to the unusually sublime
music, and, partly to the popularity
which Caruso gave it, 'Rhadames"
being his favorite role. aida, the
daughter of an Ethiopian King, is
captured by the Egyptians and
brought to the Kings palace. She
is in love with Rhadames, the war
hero of the people, and he with her.
Amneris, the Egyptias princess, is
betrothed to Rhadames, SO is very
angry when she discovers his love
for Aida, and vows to wreak veng
eance upon him. In the "Triumphal
March, (which we have selected
for our part from the operal we
first hear trumpet blasts in martial
strain, the troops pass in formal re-
view, while all sing to Isis, the god
dess of war, in praise of the victory
their hero has won. Rhadames ar
rives on the shoulders of slaves, the
Princess crowns him victor, and the
whole scene is one of pompous
ceremony. Captives are brought
forth, among whom Aida recognizes
her father. Rhadafes sings tend
er love-song to Aida, in sharp con-
trast to the heavy brasses of vic
tory. Later, "Amseris' overhears
"Aida" trying to persuade her lover
to aid her father to escape to a new
kingdom. "Rhadames" is not con-
WINGED, but "Amneris" betrays him
to the king, and "Rhadames" is con-
demned to be entombed alive. When
he approaches his shadowy grave in
the wall, he finds faithful "Aida"
has crept in to die with him. The
two are walled up together, while
the now-repentent "Amneris" kneels
above their tragic tomb in prayer.
