GRAND CONCERT
AT HIGH SCHOOL
MARGUERITE sTAREkI. TO
APPEAR ON THURSDAY.
APK1L 9

Marguerite Starch from the
metropolitan Opera Company,
Chieago and New York, will give
grand concert in the Monroe
County High School Auditorium
Thursday night, April 8. for the
benefit of the high school.
Miss Staren does not depart
from the traditional treatment of
the composer who gave the songs
she sings but she lends a. touch
and treatment all her own, which
IS the highest art. There is an
indefinable charm and lure m her
renditions as one listens to sweet
tones, perfect speech, through the
medium of songs, as her alert,
versatile mind follows charming
vistas of imagination (not all may
see) but feel, and hear beautiful
toned display of notes so viva
ciously and accurately rendered.
One visions golden harps played by
fairy fingers as thrills and notes
|of feathery hghtness come from
the throat Of this gifted singer in
quick, light, flute-Hke passages.
Miss Starell received the highest
training and culture Of her voice
from that master in this country,
Isadore LuekstOne, of New York
City, and other masters abroad. A
linguist she sings and can always
include any of the great art songs
and master works in French, Ger
man, italian, English and Swedish
literature Of music in Song. She
ever delights an audience with her
pleasing, happy manner of adj
dress and at once ingratiates her
self into the favor. Such en-
unciation, true Interpretation, and
distinct phrasing could but bring
admiration and q realization of
the true artist. 1t is her mind and
hearts expression, her soul IN
song, critics have said'' Miss
Starch is native Of Sweden, from
which country the nightengales Of
song come-impress the world.
She has lived most of the time as
an artist IN France, singing in
Paris, Cannes, Monte Carlo and
the Riviera, with occasional trips
to England and America, having
been member of the Chicago
Metropolitan Opera.

Concha Sweet Shoppe.

VALLEY LETTUCE
SHIPMENTS HIT
TOP YESTERDAY

Yesterdays lettuce shipments
reached the highest point of the
season, with 175 ears shipped from
Imperial Valley. 1t is believed that
this number may establish the sea
son S peak, or that the peak will
be reached within the next few
days. Yesterdays shipments
brought the total for the season
over the $500 mark.
With the high shipments, the
number of ears on track in the
east and the presence of marginal
browning on the lettuce, the fob.
market is weak and the demand
slow. Eastern markets are also
low.

ported by the Market News Ser

WEIGHT OF SNOW
CAUSES ROOF TO FALL

NEW BRITAIN, Conn, Feb. A.
Weight of snow which for almost 2i
hours had been falling here, raus-
ed the roof of the foundry of the
North and Judd company to coll
lapse today.
Fifty workmen were reported
buried. Two bodies were taken out
and six persons. seriously injured,
were carried away soon after the
accident.
Call Police Reserves
Fire companies and police reserves
were called out to join other work
men from the plant in rescue work
in the belief that forty or more
men probably remain trapped be
,cath the wreckage of the roof and
the mounds of snow.
About seven hundred men arc
employed at the plant.
The two known dead were found
near the edge of the ruins. They
have not vet been identified.
Search For Hurt
All the employees of the company
were called out to assist firemen AS
they dug fevcrishly to reach the
others.
The six injured were discovered
near what had been the main en-
trance of the building. Police fear
ed the death list might run to n
score. Tho roof of the building
was flat and the increasing weight
of the snow as the storm continued
mabatcd for more than ~ hours
weakened the supports, it was pe-
lieved.
Blizzard Is Raging
DESPITE raging blizzard firemen
and scores of volunteers worked
throughout the entire afternoon IN
the snow capped debris TO find the
six men as yet unaccounted for.
When the roof collapsed with n
hurst % sound that was heard for
blocks, its giant supports and gr,d-
ers were carried with 1t. The
foundry was a one story structure.

WILL DECIDE ON
LARGER STATION
FOR INSPECTION

With more than 5000 automobiles
per month entering Imperial county
from eastern points via the Bank
head highway, facilities for inspect
ing the contents of these ears at
the Fort Yuma quarantine station
have become inadequate. For the
purpose of determining upon addi-
tions necessary to the platform
space at the station, members of the
board of supervisors today planned
to accompany Horticultural Commits
sioner B. A. Harrigan to Yuma.
Increase in the amount of travel
is responsible for the need of a larg-
er platform, Commissioner Harrigan
states.
''Whcn the station was establish
ed in 1927 we had two inspectors
on the job and approximately 300
ears per month passed into the coun-
ty. In December, over 5000 auto
mobiles entered at this point, and
January totals which are not yet
compiled will run higher Harri-
gan stated. 1.-THE station now re-
quires the attention of four in
spectors. -
Quantities of citrus fruit grown
in the citrus canker area, as well
as from the cotton boil weavil area
are confiscated at the quarantine
station each month, in determined
attempt to keep these pests out of
Imperial Valley.
The supervisors also plan to in
spect the roads in the Bard dis
trict while they are in the eastern
part of the county.

Clearing Streets Today
by United Press Leased Wire

BY United Press Leased Wire
NEW YORK, Feb. 4.-The Allan
tic seaboard today lay encloaked in
thick blanket Of snow while gales
of high velocity whipped the flakes
in furious gusts.
During the night six men are be-
lieved to have lost their lives off
the New Jersey coast when two
barges were torn from a tow line.
Other coastal shipping was in dis
tress, while far out in the Atlantic
the furness freighter Manchester
Producer reported trouble.
Winds Whirl Snow
Snow has fallen continuously in
New York since yesterday after
noon. The city has called out 10000
extra men to clear the streets.
Winds caught up the snow and
whirled it to sweep some spots lit
orally clean while building two foot
drifts in other places.
The barges Phoenix and Napor
of the Howard Towing company slip
ped their tow line in 20 mile gale
off Scotland lightship. The seas
wrenched the seams of one barge
which sank Immediately. The other
was found grounded near Sandy
Hook with no sign of her crew.
Vessel Is Adrift
The local weather bureau fore
casts cessation of snow around
noon today with gales shifting from
northeast to northwest.
I a dispatch from Halifax said
that the Manchester Producer is
drifting helplessly, awaiting the ar
rival of the German steamer Han
mover, speeding to its aid.
