RallyinR behind q new Dawes
plan. described as an "econoni-
caliy sound" solution for Americas
agriculture problem, the Senate
farm bloc today opened . final
drive for the enactment Of farm
relief legislation at this session
Of Congress.
The plan, drafted by farm bloc
leaders under the economic direc-
ton" of Vice President Dawes,
would create 3 $176, 10000 cor
pOration for marketing surplus
crops abroad, with the farmers
financing the corporation through
an equalization fee" payable
with the first crops.
Its provisions were recommended
by Dawes, and the ground work
laid by two agricultural economists,
George w. Peek, OF Illinois, and
Chester Davis, of Montana, who
were drawn into the picture by
the Vice President.
The Dawes proposal win be sub.
gtituted in the Senate for the old
McNafy-T1augen bill with farm bloc
leaders ready to force q showdown
ON the farm relief question.
While the agricultural spokesmen
were announcing this course Of &C
ton, whispers were heard in Sen.
ate cIoakroorns that farm bloc lead
krs had purposely delayed q vote
on their legislation until after the
Iowa Senatorial primary.
The soft Impeachment was denied
of course by spokesmen Tor the
bloc.
One rumor persisted. however, that
the delay was arranged. In the
belief that a favorable vote on
farm relief might hurt the chances
Of former Senator Smith w. Brook

over from the last meeting. It was decided to recommend to the coun- cil at the meeting Wednesday eve ming that the clause relative to fees for permits be adopted at once, be- cause of the increased revenue the increased rates will bring.
 The plumbing and electrical codes were not touched last night, the sentiment Of the committee being that the building code should be put in final form before the others are taken up.
 One feature of the building code is a section calling for licenses for building vaults under the sidewalk or doing any form Of excavation work beyond the building line. It is proposed to charge a fee Of s5 for such permits. It is probable that the requirement relative to the use of septic tanks will be transferred from the health ordinances to the plumbing ordinances. Dr. k. w. Pullen. health superintendent being in favor Of the change.

AT THE PALACE

Lon Chaney in "The Tower of Lies" will be shown for the last times tonight at the New Palace. 'The Tower of Lies" is one of Chanoys best. He is supported by Norma Shearer and a notable cast. Lon Clancy does some remarkable character work in "The Tower or Lies and those who have seen him in his previous pictures will surely want 10 see his remarkable work in this picture.
 The companion feature Bright Lights" starring Charles Ray and Pauline Starke shows Ray in the role that brought him to the top rung of stardom. The country rube invading the big city. l. is doubt full if anyone has ever excelleS Ray in this type of character. And beautiful Pauline Starke makes an ideal leading lady for the bashfui Ray.
 Wednesday and Thursday there is a complete change Of program. Lewis Stone and Virginia Vali in The Lady Who Lied" and James kirkwood in 'The Police Patrol"
 Bizarre backgrounds puIeinr drama, clean cut characterization makes the Lady Who Lied" a really notable screen achievement. Lewis Stone, Virginia Valli and Nita Naldi are prominent In the cast, and Edwin CareW again turns an experi- enced hand toward the depletion of a tale of torrid climes. relieved it is said, by lighter moments of highly laughter-luring aspects. Night life in Algiers and Venice at carnival time, inclusive of scenes on the grand Canal, are other environs of the new play which has for it's foun- datton another novel by Robert Hichene, colorful author Of caravan tales.
 The companion feature for the two days The Police PatroV is sermon production that may be safely recommended to our patrons of all ages and viewpoints.

Stella Dallas" the leading char acter in Olive Higgins Prouty's novel was q girl who lived, dreamed. walk cd and talked romance.
 AS Stella" is pictured in Henry Kings film production now at the Capitol, her romantic personality is recreated and made more vivid by realism.

 Her romance with a young man in higher social sphere. her Iove-lifc. her harmless fiirtations, her deep feelings toward her child, her emo tional heroism, are incidents that carve in outline character strong in it's weakness. with Hove of life" the keynote of her existence.

My dear Miss MacBride:
/ want to thank you for the
kind commentator contained in
your review of my recent lecture.
which was published in last Mon
days edition.
/ do, however, wish to explain
more clearly to you why / feel
that Mr.. Hendersun's remarks are
liable to give the student a false
idea Of what he ID up against
when he IL seeking the mechanical
means: which, as you say, will make
the voice become as ''pliant to the
singer as the wheel Of an auto
mobile is to good driver" i
give you herewith the entire QUO
tation which reads as follows:
THE act OF singing is an
aesthetic art; not an anatomical
study. It begins with an ideal
dwelling In the realm OF the con.
ception OF tonal beauty; not In
the domain of the correct move
ment of the muscles. The prub-
lem of the great masters OF the
early period was to ascertain the
best way of singing beautiful
tones on every vowel sound
throughout the entire range Of
q voice; not to find how To oper.
ate certain parts OF the body aud
decide. that such operations ought
to give the tone. They rea-
soned from the tone to the opera
ton; not from the operation to
the tone. Too many modern theor-
lists seem to proceed in the lat
ter way, and that Is why they
build up complicated and un-
natural processes which confuse
students ard do incalculable
HARM"
(From THE Art of Singingn
You will note that Mr.. Hender-
son claims that the great masters
OF the early period reasoned from
the tone to the production. This
seems to me to be an utter and
absolute impossibility. Had Mr..
Henderson confined himself merely
TO statements regarding the art"
of singing and not the production"
OF tone / would have no fault to
find, for 1t is doubtful If his
views in this particular province
of the art could be improved upon
Hoping that this will render my
words more explicit, and again
thanking you for your courteous
remarks, / remain,
Yours very sincerely.
