 The building in question. for years has been q curio and art shop. Re gently the owner announced his in- tentions of raging the building to make way for another structure.

HIGH HAT REALLY
 IS AN ESSENTIAL
Nicobar Islander Must Actually
 Wear One

Nancowry Harbor, Nicobar Islands. June Pt-Everybody will wear a top hat in heaven, so the natives of these little British islands in the Bay of Bengal think. Consequently they go to a great length to acquire a "stovepipe." It is looked upon as the best possible guarantee that the wearer will be able to get past Saint Peter.
 Western medicine has not made much headway in the Nicobars. They prefer the medicine board. This board, which has many crude draw ing on it showing the evolution of life from the fish stage, depicts men in the upper zone wearing high hats and little more. Natives who are ill have this board placed where they can see it. and if they are rich enough to. possess a high hat also lay it where they can see it.
 . After the silken top piece, a string of shillings to wear about the neck is the most prized possession of the na- tive beau. Nothing attracts the Nic- obar tlappers so much as coins. They cannot spend money in the islands.

GEORGIA MARSHES
 DO NOT CHANCE
Those of Glynn Do Not Yield
 to Progress

Brunswick, Ga, June 3 RlThey do not change-"The Marshes of Glynn."
 Gigantic in their miles of sweep along the coast line of Glynn county, in southern Georgia, the marshes defy the builders of man-made land and remain as in the days when SidneyLanier brought them world wide fame with his poem.
 The marshes are not simply bogs or morasses. They are densely cov- cred with rank grass. Green in summer, brown in winter, 1t gives the almost intending tidal flats the appearance of great sward, cut with symmetrical creeks and bays.
 Refuge is offered for countless sea fowl and birds, among these being the marsh hen. which builds its nest "on the watery sod" Bor- dering the marshes on the land- ward side are massive live oaks, some of them hundreds of years in age. Palms dot the shoreland, here and there.
 Aside from the poetical lore at- tached to the Marshes of Glynn, there are many traditions. They have been the scene of several bat ties figuring prominently in the early history of America.
 At the Battle of Bloody Marsh, General James Oglethorpe defeated a large force of Spaniards and drove them back into Florida. In recent years bones of the slain Spaniards and bits of arms and metal accoutrements have been found.
 Only a short distance away Is fa- nous Jekyl Island, an exclusive club resort of 100 of the richest men in America. On the mainland is the old church in which John Wesley brought his message of Methodism. Ancient buildings. crumbling in ruins, and many other historical objects add to the inter- est of the surroundings.
 The marshes are a shrine for many Americans who visit them on vacation tours. drawn by apprecia- ton of the poetry of Lanier.

Winfield. Kas.. June 3 dpD = A Kansas teacher who for many years taught music at Southwestern col lege here has been added to the roster of future grand opera prima rionnas.
 r The name of Madame Anna flora of Winfield. only American to
 pg at La Scala, the famous opera house at Milan. Italy, is causing comment and speculation wherever music lovers heed the advent of new names and new voices.
 Madame Flora is a dramatic so- prano. She was first noticed as a possible acquisition for an operatic jmpresario when she and her hus- band. Achille Fioramonti, Italian tenor, came to Winfield to teach. Since then she has been heard in the leading musical cities of Italy, including Milan, Rome, Tavenna, Brescia, Como and Mantova.
 When La Scala opens next season Madame Flora will sing in Aida, Turandot, Travatore, Tosca, Cava- liera Rusticana. Forsa del Destino, and several other operas.
 Madame Flora was born in the Eossack country of Russia. Educated kt the Moscow Conservatory of Music she was an entertainer for .the Russian soldiers on the western htront. Later she came to America in a grand opera company with her husband, and after a brief stay in New York they settled in Winfield, and taught music at Southwestern college.
 ! Long before she had signed her European contracts, those who lizard her in Kansas were convinced she would soon be recognized by musical managers. Arrangements are under way for her to sing in the Forum at Wichita, in Topeka and in Kansas City as soon as she is able to return to this country.
