NE|GHBORS TO HEAR.
MISS TALLEY S|NG|
Kansas City Concert to Es.
tabIish Gratitude Fund
for Others Deserving.

by ConSonnated Press.
KANSAS CITY. September 49,
Successfully started on a S15O,000-a
year career as a grand opera singer
Marion Talley, 19year-old daughter OF
f15O.a month telegraph operator, is
coming back to her Kansas City home
with a double aim.
She plans. first. to go to the back
yard of the Talley home, on a modest
Kansas City street. and dig up a lit.
tie box in which lies buried one OF
three canaries she brought to this
country from Europe.
The canary will have a better
burial one that will express fittingly
the love the mistress held for her
feathered songbird. There will be a
ha andsome box and a marker
The other and main undertaking O!
the young opera star is to establish a
fund to aid young persons of talent
Just as she was aided when Kansas
City citizens began to recognize in her
future opera star.
$4,000 Proceeds Expected.
Marion Talley will give one con.
cert the night of September 30 to
carry out a contract Two nights
later she will give one under her own
auspices. and the proceeds. expected
to be more than $40. .0G0. will go into
fund to help young people study
voice. music or art.
For gratitude fills the heart of the
Kansas City girl who last May be-
came world famous overnight with q
successful premiere with the Metro
politan Opera Co. in New York
Three years ago Miss Talley. then
. high school girl and choir singer,
was beneficiary of a concert in which
she appeared in the Kansas City con-
vention hall. Ten thousand dollars
was raised by that concert, and she
went to Europe for two years of study
that enabled her to attain success as
a. singer.
The $4,000 cannot be paid back to
those who bought tickets to that con.
cert. No one wants the money back.
But Marion Talley considers it a debt
just the same. So into the fund for
young musicians and artists she will
pour the $4,000 next week.
The girls thoughts of her canary
are characteristic of the simplicity of
her life. For once. public acclaim has
not turned the head of q young per.
son.
Not Interested in Luxuries.
Plans for her concert gowns and
most of her dresses are left to an older
sister. Motor cars. furs and other
luXuries hold no attraction for her.
Her hair is not bobbed. and she likes
riding on a street car better than in
a taXicab.
AS to food, she likes best of all the
simple dishes her mother makes.
Mother is the best cook of ALL she
said recently. Her food is so much
better than that prepared by high
salaried chefs"
Begging letters are scanned closely
by members of the Talley family. No
announcements are made. hut it is
known that liberal contributions ere
being made by the girl 10 charity.

singer said. Il get more plea sure out

Just watch it shoot away from the
next traffic lineup. Just notice the
number that pass you on the long,
hard hills. Just note how often you
find one waiting for you at the end of
q long days run.
But only with your foot on the ac-
celerator and your eye on the speed
ometer can you fully appreciate its in
stantaneous pickup. its relentless
power on the hills, its sustained high
speed on the straightaway.
And the Franklin speedometer never
varies from the exact truth more than
2%. It is a Waltham-the most ac-
curate made.
Power That is 1000 Usable
Best of all-and this is the secret of
Franklin's matchless speed over the
days rn-this power is I00R usable!
Over roads that force other cars to
slow down, Franklin's super-hexible
construction allows the owner to skim
along without perceptible change in
riding ease or speed.

gineers. They will tell you that airplanes
adopted air-coolng not only because of greater
reliability, but also because of greater power
efficiency. Only Franklin offers this great
feature in American motor cars.
