she has won a triumph in almost
every other capital of the world. She
will appear in the role of Lakme with
the Washington National Opera Co.
Monday evening, January "a, at SIS.
A year ago Melius made her Ameri-
can operate debut in the role of Gilda
with the Chicago Civic Opera. She
electrified her audience and was given
an ovation equal to that accorded
Cali Curci eight years before. News
papers all over the country headlined
the story of her triumph.
When she appeared in San Fran
cisco last September a throhg that
filled every inch of the huge San
Francisco Auditorium roared its APP
probation of her Interpretation of
Gilda. The same triumph was re-
peated in Los Angeles when she ap-
peared in 1.-THE Barber of Seville"
In Detroit the Masonic Auditorium
was packed to the doors for her APP
pearance. The triumphs in her own
country followed her acclaim from
Paris, Berlin, Monte Carlo, Leipzig,
Prague, Belgrade, Rome, Florence,
Madrid--in fact, all of the great CAPT.
tails and art centers of Europe.
Felix Weingartner. the great con.
ductor of the Vienna Opera. said OF
her: "Luella Meiius is the greatest
coloratura since I conducted for
Melbas In her prime"

PROFITEERS
Are Losing In Insurance
Field

Columbus, Ohio.-Business men are
beginning to investigate the value of
Ohio's state-operated workmen's COM
pensation insurance. Excessive costs
of private companies are noted, as is
the unity regarding the law between
the Ohio Federation of Labor and the
Manufacturers Association of Ohio.
This legislation was fostered by
William Green, president of the A. F.
of L., when he was a member of the
Ohio Senate. In a recent actuarial
audit of the insurance fund by Miles
M. Dawson & Son, consulting actuar-
les, New York City, it is stated that
the rating system of the fund as com
pared with other states, Stands out
brilliantly"
"The Ohio fund" it is stated, "goes
further than any other workmen's
compensation insurance carrier that
we know of in scientifically providing
for future developments of it's out
standing claims, both as to claims
themselves and as to the amounts in
connection herewith" "

Incompetent Man Not
Hard to See THROUGH

Col. E. M. House, about to sail
for Europe, said at a farewell lunch
con in New York:
big business knows how to pick
its assistants, and one of the secrets
of the big business mans success is
that incompetence can't fool him.
He sees right through it.
"To him every incompetent is as
transparent as the chap who applied
for a job in tourist agency.
We'll, now, we might want to
send you to our Paris Office said
the manager of the agency, who
seemed rather impressed with the
chaps qualities, and then he added
with a smile:
'Parlez-vous FrancaisT
What's that ? said the chap.
'Parlez-vous-Fran-cais the
manager repeated very distinctly.
"1 beg your pardon; I don't
quite get you
"Ihe manager yawned.
Speak French?' he said.
"'Oh, perfectly said the chap,
beaming and nodding."

convention at Los Angeles, which con-

The Chicago Federation of Labor

cago to Los Angeles. The train is

Western and the Union Pacific sys-
TENS and will leave the formers pas
senger station at Chicago Sunday,

The convention call reminds trade
unionists of the necessity of having a

''The cause of organized labor will
be advanced and promoted in proper

MORTGAGED FARMS
GAIN IN OKLAHOMA

Wichita, Kan.-There were no
mortgaged farms in Oklahoma in
1890, but 80 per cent of these farms
were under mortgage in 1925.
This statement was made by G.. H.
Hyde, of Alva, Oklahoma, who repre-
sented farm organizations in that
state at a grain rate hearing held by
the Interstate Commerce Commission.
Mr. Hyde produced records from.
the federal census which show in
1920-25 Oklahoma lost more than H.
600 farm home owners and gained
1900 tenants. During the same per-
iod farm lands in that state decreased
in value 30 per cent, or more than
1913, 100000.
Mr. Hyde claimed that fundamen-
tally the farmer paid his expenses not
with money, but with grain; that it
will take more bushels of wheat to buy
his implements than it would in 1914;
that the same was true as to his taxes,
interest, clothing, and groceries, and
that it now takes larger part of a
car of wheat to pay the freight than
it would then
An exhibit of Oklahoma state banks
showed that from January l, 1919, to
March Z, 1927, 1873 Oklahoma state
banks failed. The total loss was more
than $47, 100000. Answering the rail
roads claim that their taxes are high,
Mr.. Hyde showed that in 10 years the
railroads built 600 miles of track in
Oklahoma and that their assessment
had been reduced $14,000,000. Dur
ing the same period the number of
acres in farms did not increase, but
the assessment of farms was increas-
ed more than SIT, 100000.

Scruples Carried to
Extreme. Reed Thinks

Senator Reed, at q dinner in
Washington, said in discussion Of
certain slush funds:
"From the talk of the men who
are implicated, it would seem that
they are all very scrupulous. Yes,
their scruples are extraordinary.
They are superior to the old lady's.
Gan old lady, you know, found
ten-dollar gold piece one spring day
inside a Delaware shad. Though
she had lost ten-dollar gold piece
in the Delaware river the year be-
fore she could not feel absolutely
sure that the coin was hers. No,
her scruples compelled her to hurry
off to the fish shop with the shad
fragments that still remained from
dinner.
"The old lady spread the frag-
ments out on the counter and said
to the dealer:
"I found ten-dollar gold piece
in this Delaware shad, and I have
reason to believe that it is mine.
However, can you tell me exactly
how far down the river the fish was
caughtY"
