LUCY GATES, WORLD FAMOUS SOPRANO,
TO APPEAR In SEATTLE GRAND OPERA

Lucy Gates, greatest of all Ameri-
can coloratura sopranos, is one of five
famous grand opera stars who have
been engaged by the Seattle Civic OPP
era Association to sing leading roles
in four operas, Faust" III Trova-
tore" Martha" and Carmen" which
will be given at the midwinter con-
cert season, commencing February
Ia, at the Metropolitan Theatre.
America has risen in acclaim of Lucy
Gates. Through the country "all star"
courses and important musical organ
cations are flashing her name, and
many are booking her year in adj
Everything possible is being done
to make this season of grand opera
the most successful one that the
Northwest has ever had. There will
be a large chorus of more than 10
talented local singers and special
symphony orchestra under the direc-
ton of Graham Morgan. An elaborate
ballet is being prepared, with numer-
Gus solo features in classical interpre-
tation, folk dances, and pantomimic
phantasy as an added attraction. New
costumes and sets will be provided,
accompanied by unusual innovations
in technical lighting, and Evan e.
Scott, dramatic, art and technical di-
rector, is arranging the stage settings
with nice observance of the times
and themes portrayed in the operas.
The Civic Opera Association is not
a money making project, but organ
lied solely in the interest of making
Seattle center of music and culture.
In keeping with its policies the direc-
tors have arranged with local radio
dealers to broadcast Verdi's al Troy
atore" Tuesday night, February Is,
and Bizet's Carmen" Saturday night,
February 10, for the benefit of the
shut-ins and those out-of-town people
who will be unable to come in for the

III LUEDDEMANN, general agent
IL for the Mccormick Steam
mp Company at Portland, early this
month was elected president of the
Portland Steamship Operators Asso-
cation.
Mr.. Lueddemann is one of the
youngest maritime men on the Coast
n an executive capacity Of large
t e m s h i line, having not yet
cached his thirty-second birthday. In
addition to his work in the steamship
organization he Is active in club and
civic work, being member of the
Rotary Club in Portland and chair
nan of the Foreign Trade Committee
If the Chamber of Commerce.
He was born in Tuscumbia Ala in
1896, but soon oyercame this handicap
by moving to California, where he had
MS schooling, and accepted his first
Job as an office boy in the Southern
Pacific office at San Jose. He later
worked for the California Fruit Can
lers' Association. In 1915 he moved
Oregon and entered the real es-
ate business with his uncles under
he name of the Lueddemann Com
oany.
During the World War he enlisted
as buck private and came up
through the ranks while under fire
on the battle front to top sergeant.

la king may follow. Though all
the world raises and eats mushrooms,
the methods Of canning them as well
as their many uses are credited to
French cooks, who use them extern
sively. Omelettes are French in
vention and SO are creamed dishes.
Another good French dish which may
be used as a meat substitute is a
cheese fondue made of canned toma-
toes or tomato soup and American
cheese, which also comes in cans A
typical French dessert is fruit and
cheese for which the housewife can
call on her reserve shelf of canned
foods.
Spaghetti is the principal element
of an Italian dinner, combining we'll
with almost any other food for good
menu. 1t comes in cans prepared in
Italian style with tomato and cheese
and also with tomato alone. Mine
strone, really vegetable soup, comes
first, or il the dinner is a bit elab-
crate, hors docuvres of sardines,
pimiento, olives, all to be obtained in
cans, also salami, picked beets, give
the real Italian touch. A salad and
coffee follow all other courses.
When one mentions Chinese din
ner, the name chop suey jumps to
mind Immediately. About this one
dish the dinner may be built and no
matter what the innovations the chop
sucy preserves the Chinese identity of
the meal. 1t comes in cans and needs
only relocating. Noodle soup, which
White Bluffs spokesman. [volume] (White Bluffs, Wash.) 1907-1938, 1927-02-11

may be made by adding noodles to
canned consomme, is a Chinese dish
and boiled rice is the inevitable sup
plement to the chop suey. Canned
pineapple and Chinese tea, weak and
clear, complete the meal.
Something altogether different may
be secured for dinner by consulting
the Mexican dishes supplied by the
Gamers. Tamales and chill con carne,
both highly favored, are obtained al
ready cooked and like chop suey need
only to be reheated. Chill con carne
is an excellent way to introduce the
family to red kidney beans which are
high in food value. Both these dishes
are hearty, need no meat served with
them, and the supplementary dishes
should be salad or fruit and coffee.
Mexicans drink their coffee black and
very strong.
Many more suggestions for variety
in meals may be obtained from the
foreign dishes prepared by Gamers.
Of German dishes their main selection
is sauereraut. There is Hungarian
goulash, Russian caviar, Scotch finnan
haddie, Newfoundland Goldfish cakes,
English plum pudding, California figs,
foods from all over the world, from
all the nations whose representatives
make up the American commonwealth.
The nation they have slowly pushed
aside, the American Indians, have left
with the Gamers a food legacy OF
great value. succotash. first prepared

the shippers, exclusively under the
management, control and dictation of
the Marine Underwriters.
The bureau will have staff of ex-
perts to supervise practically every
operation incident to the intercoastal
shipment of lumber from the Pacific
Northwest, and in particular the vari-
Gus activities of discharging, forward
ing and delivery to ultimate consignee
in backhaul territory.
The bureau will make a special
study of present methods of handling,
together with thorough check on all
claims presented for allowance on ac-
count of shortage, and it is believed
through such study there will be de-
veloped a better understanding as to
the source of this unnecessary loss to
the industry.

MAYHEM friend husband or per-
Wv haps critical family have
:. had too much routine in their
meals, the housewife can give them
a welcome change by serving an oc-
casional meal of foreign dishes. In
no way is the United States more
truly melting pot than in its COM
posite diet, for into the cooking pots
of the country go the favorite dishes
of all the nations. Odd dishes are
no puzzle to the housewife who buys
them in cans. With the help of pre-
pared foods, she can serve an Italian,
French, Chinese, or Mexican dinner
that will be. as delicious as it is novel.
One may serve French dinners of
infinite variety with the help of
canned foods, for French cooks have
contributed extensively to the Gamers
lists and the Gamers have supplied
materials which may be combined in
to French dishes-this in addition to
those already combined before can
ming. The completeness with which
we have taken over French cooking
methods is illustrated by the words
found in English dictionaries, such as
bouillon, aspic, patty or pate, souffle,
braise, mayonnaisc, meringue. Many
involved French methods are made
easy by the use of canned foods.
A French dinner that will be most
easily prepared draws on canned
soups for bisque, bouillon, or julienne
as first course. A mushroom ONE

Station WSAI of the United States
Playing Card Company at Cincinnati,
is among the outstanding broadcasting
stations Of the country; it is up with
the leaders in power, for it has a
5000 watt Western Electric equip
ment. And it is among the leaders in
quality of entertainment, for it is
teaching the nation to play bridge by
radio.
In conjunction with other stations,
bridge games in which experts take
part are regularly broadcast.
The plan is to have four experts
play deal of Auction Bridge and to
broadcast each bid and each play of
the DEAL, together with the reasons
for each bid and each play. Prior to
each broadcasting, listeners-in are in
formed as to the names of the par
Elephants so that on the night of the
game any four may play the deal, and
each player be named after one of the
four experts and take the same rela-
tive position at the table as that occcu-
pied by his expert namesake. The
result of the draw for partners and
deal is announced, and then the cards
dealt to each expert. The bidding
then follows, after which each play
is announced so that the players can
play the same cards that the experts
do.

III. LUEDDEMAN NAMED PRESIDENT OF
PORTLAND STEAMSHIP ASSOCIATION

He was overseas for eighteen months,
starting at Chateau Thierry and fin
ishing up in the Meuse-Argonne of
fensive.
Having a natural fondness for the
waterfront, he went with the McCor-
mick Steamship Company when they
first opened their Portland Offices In
1921. Aside from the agent, Luedde-
mann was the only employe in the
Portland office, and he acted in the
capacity of office boy, solicitor, check
erin fact did everything the agent
did not want to do. The business grew
from 500 tons handled the first month
to 10000 tons, which now represents
the monthly turnover.
In the early part of 1923 Mr.. Lued-
demann was made manager of the
Portland office, the force at that time
having been raised to six. AT the
present time the Mccormick Com
pany has the largest steamship or
ganization in approximate
ly fifty members-and in 1926 handled
the largest business on the river, &C
cording to records of the Longshore
Employment Hall.
Other officers elected by the Port
and Steamship Operators Association
included ID. j. Fraser, Furness Line,
vicepresident; George Clark, Lidell G.

WINTER FARMING ACTIVITIES
IN WESTERN WASHINGTON
BY Guy MacL Richards.
m january 1927 Issue Dairyman

COWS were grazing on a small field of
alfalfa, at the same time the farmer
was applying a top dressing to the
field of well rotted manure. This
field, now in alfalfa for number of
years, was seeded in vows several
inches apart which admits of cult
walton between the summer harvests,
and from the general appearance of
the growth is thriving under the
treatment. Alfalfa is rather new
crop to these parts, but from what
we can see of the stands, as we
journeyed along, is going to prove
successful as in other sections of
Western Washington. The success
or failure of this crop in this west
ern section, however, will depend
largely upon the permanency of the
bacterial innoculation of the SOIL
Across the road on a neighboring
farm from where the alfalfa is grow
ing was seen flock of good grade
Shropshires busily engaged in clean
ing up potato field of the weeds and
aftermath of the recent harvest, and
along the fence within this field we
noted the long rows of pitted-in po-
catoes awaiting an opportune time to
be shipped to market. Potato grow
ers have had, in succession two good
years of marketing prices, so you
hear very little complaint from the
growers of the humble spud. 1t is to
be hoped that they will not overdo
The planting this coming spring.
Passing through several miles of
wooded strip we watched for mo-
nent the destructive onslaught of the

naming stand of the native fir for

years to come will follow the pillow,

From Greenbank on to the ferry at

growing and egg production are the
chief crops that occupy the farmers
attention, but these crops are not con-
lined to this particular locality alone,
for they "infest" practically every
section of this fertile island. And the
farther we travelled the more our

continue to endure the rigors and un-
