WASHINGTON, May May Day
is "Child's Health Day" in the

speaking, no longer a day set aside

Officials of the American Fedora

communists and radicals now use
May Day for calling strikes, and
that such moves are not sanctioned
by organized labor.
There is a presidential procla-
nation setting aside May as Child

are organized by radicals who are

efficient fashion.
Now Congress proposes, by re

tire broadcasting spectrum by a rear
rangement of power according to the
various radio zones into which the
country is divided. Such a rearrange-

largest amounts of money for the use
of Tadio.

language the aim of this redistribution

Congress and the radio-minded public
that here is a situation that needs
technical skill OF high degree to find

the urban areas in favor of the unset

hearty response from radio listeners.

Just concluded p tWo-week season OF
opera in this city. This season has been
notable for the quality OF the works
produced, for the very high character

OF The prices. In his selection OF works
performed he has entirely eschewed the
hackNcyed. outW0rn and thrcadbare

Washington audiences. He has given
us premiere in this country Hugh
the Drover" He has given two pre-
miereS III this city--'TriStan und

mes The remaining performances
We're works Of high merit and freshness
and the whole season was most attrac-
tive rs to quality. Every one of the
principal roles was In the hands Of an
artist Of international fame, the enscm-
b,eS were all Of high merit, and the
chorus, recruited and trained right here
In Washington. was notable for fine
vocal quality and Spontaneity in attack.
And all this was furnished at seat prices
ranging from 81 10 SIS. II was a note
worthy fact that the 81 and s. seats
were sold out for practically the entire
season. This means that people OF mod
crate means were enabled IN have 4
taste Of opera. and they awaited them
selves Of the opportunity. And this Is
precisely what MIR Albion is trying 10

ate means Compare the above scale OF
prices with the prices for the forthcom-
ing season Of the Metropolitan Opera
Co. in which the lowest priced sea, Is
to br IS and the highest $40. This, OF
course is opera for mllionaires.
MIR. Albion has made. and is making, a
courageous and determined fight FOR an
ideal-~opcra for the people-~and the
season just closed is his most ambitious
and finest achievement toward that
ideal The people Of moderate means
have given ample evidence OF their APP
