JOHN CHARLES THOMAS SINGS

That young American baritone
John Charles Thomas, who has sung
with will in practically every branch
of musical entertainment, including
light musical comedy, concert recitals
and grand opera, returned to the
National Capital yesterday in a song
recital at the National Theater.
Mr.. Thomas, who made his grand
opera debut with the Washington
Opera Co. in Aida" two seasons ago,
and then proceeded to win enthu.
siastic recognition in Europe with his
development of operate roles and
also in concerts, only returned to his
native country shortly before the per-
Torrance of "Rigoletto," presented a
month ago by the local opera com
pany. Mr.. Thomas sang the title role
in this production and won top hon
OrS.
The opening group of songs yester.
day was by German composers. There
was Beethoven's beautiful "In Questa
Tomba";; Hugo VOLTS "Verborgen-
heit,' eXcellently sung, and 20 Lie
bliche Wangen," by Brahms, given
lovely legato tone and the exquisite
subtle quality that is inherent being
duly emphasized. A negro spiritual,
Uncle Rome" was the encore. The
French group was most notable for
the Requiem de Coeur," by Pessard,
one of those ironic songs of the
"Nichevo" type, in which Mr.. Thomas
seems to especially delight. He GER
tainly can ring the sarcastic ugliness
of the mood of such q song quite as
thoroughly into his voice as the more
beautiful and poised emotions. There
were times he used a Chaliapin-cov-
cred tone, or parlando, for phrases in
this number and his tonal production
was varied throughout. The encores
were Frank Tours setting of Trees"
and Mamma Zucca's Big Brown
Bear
The novelty was a group of charm
ing love lyrics by Eric Zardo, given
for the first time. The poetic con-
tent of How Many Moons Have
Risen" and "Come, Bring Your
Torches" proved especially lovely. OF
the musical settings, the former Of
these two and 1.-THE Island" seemed
most interesting in originality and
beauty. The composer was at the
piano and he as well as Mr.. Thomas
received hearty applause. AS encore,
Mr.. Thomas sang the famous prolog
from II Pagliacci."
The last group was distinguished by
Pearl Curran'S ~'Nocturne," written
for and dedicated to Mr.. Thomas. and
"The Vagabond,' slightly ironic,
clever song, written by the accom-

CHE WHY Of
SUPERSTITIONS
PARSLEY
BY H. IRVING KING

TN SOME sections of the country 1t
i Is considered most unlucky to re-
plant old parsley in the garden-that
is to set out parsley root which you
have had growing in a box In the
house all winter-as it endangers the
life of the head of the family AL
ways SOW fresh seed. This super
stition we inherit, along with parsley
itself, from the days when Greece and
the gods were young together. Pars-
ley was an indigenous plant in Greece
growing wild and with special pro-
fusion in Argolis, where was the vale
Of Nemea, in which stood the temple
of Nemean zeus, and where Hercules
killed the Nemean lion.
Parsley-po possibly from its avail
ability in making wreaths and gar
lands for his shrine-appears to have
come to be regarded in the valley as
the specially favored plant of Nemean
Zeus, and so when, some five hundred
years before the Christian era, the
Nemean games were instituted in
memory of a local young hero, Ar
chemorus, who died from the bite Of
serpent as the expedition of 1.-THE Sew
en- Against Thebes' was passing
through the place-a crown of wild
parsley was the reward of the victor.
Now wild parsley being dedicated
to such purposes was naturally pro-
tected: probably the penalty for the
PROCLAMATION of roofing it up was death.
And here we get the modern super
stition that the planting of an old
parsley root in the garden is likely to
cause the death of the head OF the
family Only three columns of the
temple of Nemean Zeus remain stand
ing; yet many man today hesitates
to plant an old parsley root in his gar
den, and you will find in many of the
modern books of Dreams and Omens'
a warning against doing so.

SOMETHING TO
THINK ABOUT
THE OLD HIGHWAY
By F. A. Wake r

IT STRETCHES out before you,
packed hard by the millions Of
tired feet that have climbed it's hills
as you are climbing to reach the goal
far off there in the hazy distance.
You sometimes strain your eyes In
looking forward, and wonder whether
your strength will endure until the
end of the monotonous journey.
In such moments there are evil
dences of weakness In your heart, lack
of faith, and inclination to loiter
while in the Turing shade of the trees
by the wayside. where the birds are
singing in sheer joy of existence.
Then comes the thought that this
is not the time for rest, but the hour
for serious endeavor, so you hold your
place in the waving throng, call again
upon your vanishing courage and press
forward determined to win.
You vision the worn, resolute, dust
covered humans who before you were
born passed along this same old high
way, refusing to falter in their march
until they had clasped to their breasts
the coveted prizes they were seeking.
You remember how as a boy or
girl you thrilled with eager ambition
as you read the stories of these hui
mans achievements-how you then
resolved to- emulate their examples
and write your name beside theirs.
But now that your dreamings are
over you begin to doubt your ability
to do.
You realize that to make your way
along the ancient highway, you must
call up all your power of will, all your
patience and hold firmly to your high
purpose. You must work, work, work
There is no other way by which you
can attain your pictured goal. There
are no back doors through which you
can sneak and grab your prize, for the
world is on guard taking note of your
smiles and frowns, your department
and fervor or laxity and possible
craftiness.
And the world and the old highway,
in spite of all sayings to the con-
trary, will give you liberal reward,
provide you hold steadfastly to truth,
honor, loyalty and diligence, as did the
great men and women whose bodies
have mingled with the dust, but whose
names still live to shine resplendently
till the end of time.

BURIED "A ALIVE;

RITE REPETITION
Member of Fanatic Russian
Sect Helps SoOiet Census
Takers With DeUotees.

Uzbekistan, Russia.-A religious
fanatic who buried twenty-four people
alive at their own request when Car
tional census in 1887 worked ener-
getically with the soviet authorities
in the census just completed to pre-
vent repetition of his horrible act
of forty years ago.
The fanatic was one of religious
briadze. There were twenty-five MEM
bers of the sect when the czars CEN
sus takers came. The Starobriadze, in
panic, thought the officials were the
heralds of the anti-Christ and elected
to die rather than submit to the CEN
they chose to be buried alive. But
they found that they could not bury
themselves.
Buries "a Alive.
They drew lots to determine which
of them should bury the rest and him
self remain alive to risk the anti-Christ
danger The choice fell on a young
zealot with a wife and two children.
In spite of his protests, the others as
sured him that he would win such
heavenly favor by saving his core
ligionists that he himself would be
saved. though still alive.
Chanting weird songs, informing pray
ers and carrying lighted candles, the
twenty-four fanatics descended into
cellar where the protesting twenty
fifth built a solid wall around them,
cemented 1t and heaped it with earth.

LET'S ROPE MANGLE
HAND TO SAVE MAN
inexperienced Climber Proves
Himself Hero.

Cape Town, South Africa. -Moun-
taineers here are lavish in their praise
of "a magnificent act of courage" per-
formed by an inexperienced climber,
John Byng, while attempting to es-
tablish new route up the face of
Table Mountain, in company Nth
Frank Cooke of Cape Town.
The two men were linked together
by rope. After they had assembled
1000 feet Cooke, an experienced
mountaineer, fell, but was saved from
certain death by the bravery and re-
source of his companion. who had no
previous experience in climbing.
Byng seized the rope by which he
was linked to his friend and slipped
it over a rock. He then placed his
hand between the rope and the rock
so that it should act as a buffer and
prevent the rope from fraying and
swapping.
His hand was crushed and cut but
hour after hour he braved the pain
and kept the rope in position. Cooke,
who was suspended over a gorge hun
dreds of feet deep, was helpless, as his
thigh had been broken by striking the
cliff face.
BY waving his handkerchief Byng
drew the attention of party of noun
taineers, who went to the rescue.
Reaching Byng, who was on the point
of collapse, they relieved him Of the
rope and set about the business of re-
covering Cooke.
Two rescuers descended to him with
food and restoratives. They blind
folded him to save him the mental
torture of being suspended in midair.
Twenty-four hours later he was
hauled, more dead than alive. to the
cliffs summit.

The sound of their singing continued
in the vault for some time, while the
sole remaining fanatic listened and
prayed In the tomb were his own wife
and two children.
News of the horror spread and the
man who had buried the others was
arrested and sentenced to spend his
life in the Greek Orthodox monastery
at Suzdal. The sect, however, was
revived and the soviet officials re-
called him from the monastic exile to
help prevent repetition of the in
cident when the census takers came
last month. In this he was successful
and the devotees submitted to the
census readily.

GODS
MOTHERS
By DOUGLAS MALLocH

V0U can't believe in mother much
And not believe in God,
For there is something in her touch,
Yes, even of her rod,
That makes mother seem to me
An agent Of Divinity.
So much mother can forgive,
SO often has the need,
SO much like God she has to live
She seems q living creed.
Though man may preach some creed
of his,
Her creed she lives, her creed she Is.
Men preach forgiveness, yet they hate,
But mothers day by day
Leave open every door and gnte,
Inviting feet that stray
To come returning-firs to greet,
And last your SHINING to repeat.
The Good Book tells us God Is love;
Well, so is mother, too.
Believing in some God above
Is not so hard to do,
With mothers here to prove the worth
OF heavens love with love on earth.
