The junior choir is an established in

boys and girls. 1t sings at the morn

month. Some of the most interesting
and new work done by Mr.. Potter at
this church has been the use of both
choirs combined at Christmas and
Easter. At Christmas, an old Spanish
carol was used in which the children's
voices took the naive, artless theme,
while the adult voices accompanied in
six and eight parts a capella. Again
the two choirs were used antiphonally,

Ruby Potter is soprano soloiSt. She
possesses a voice which not only en-
ables her to assist the chorus effectively,
but also to do the incidental and spe-
cial solo work with outstanding artistry.
Some of the most telling work of the
choir has been made possible by her
clear true high notes in those anthems
with obbligato solos. such as the In
f1ammatus," by Rossini; the Psalm
CL," by Randcgger; "Gallia," by
Gounod. etc.
Mrs. Potter is a pupil of Paul Bleyden
and Myron Whitney of Washington
and has coached with Isador Luck

Early Ambitions.

WHEN Buck and Bubbles, former
colored vaudeville stars. were
mere youngsters down in Louisville
there were two things they wanted
more than anything else. One was a
JOB on the stage and the other was q
chicken farm. They teamed up' at
an early age, mastered a song and
dance routine and achieved Broadway
almost at single jump. Pathe ON
Gals signed them next for the principal
roles in a series of talking comedies
based upon Hugh Wiley's Wildcat"
stories. Now that they can afford
fried chicken for breakfast, they can
see no use in bothering to raise the
fowls.

POWERS HOLD SEATS
ON LEAGUE COUNCIL
Abandon Idea of Giving Up Posts
as Inducement to Argentina
and Brazil.
RH the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
GENEVA, January 19.-The Tribune
yesterday said that representatives OF
several of the great powers recently con-
ferred concerning the practicability of
abandoning their permanent seats on
the council of the League Of Nations.
The project was abandoned. as 1t was
believed not to be assured Of sufficiently
general approval.
The idea behind the move was under
stood to be a desire to induce Argentina
and Brazil to return as full-pledged
members and stand their chance with
all other countries for election to the
council. The countries taking the ini-
tiative were said to have been Great
Britain, France and Germany. 1t was
reported that Japan reserved approval
and Italy was not approached.
The suggested change would neces-
state an amendment to the covenant by
a majority of the Assembly and a
unanimous vote of the council. The
Tribune trusts that the South American
republics will interpret the recent move
as a manifestation of a genuine desire
for their effective cooperation.

/ Pursuant to a motion adopted at the
last meeting of the Department Council
of Administration, Comdr. Lockhead
will within the next few days appoint
| a special committee to study conditions
at the National Veterans of Foreign
Wars Home at Eaton Rapids, Mich,
and report it's findings to the next
session of the council. It will be the
purpose of this committee to ascertain
the most urgent needs of the home
at the present time in order that the
| local department may determine how
best to meet these wants. There has
been a general feeling among the mem
bers of the District of Columbia to do
something toward the progress of the
national home, but every time the QueS-
ton has been brought up there has
always been a wide diversity of opinion
as to how the local department could
best help in this humanitarian work,
and now it is felt that the creation
Of this special committee will finally
bring the matter to a head and enable
the Veterans of Foreign Wars of the
District to assist the widows and or
phans.
The recruiting drive, which has been
in progress since the early part of No
vember, is approaching It's close, and
when the final figures are disclosed it
will be found that every post in this
jurisdiction has made gains in its
roster This has been brought about
by the unceaSing efforts of the de-
partment recruiting committee and the
officers of the various posts. The an
nouncement of the winning posts will
be made by the chief of staff, Frank
HeiSe, at the meeting of the council
the night of February 8.
Developments in THE Star Spangled
Banner" campaign, being conducted by
the national Americanization commit

BIGADOS, Turkey CF.-Despite the
old Koranic taboo, the new Turkey is
becoming more and more prone to look
on the wine when 1t is red or any other
color, and, more than that, to brew her
own.
The Kemalist government, which has

nopolies, has sent the director of the
monopoly to Europe to study wine
making. The director chose this rich
Anatolian grape region as the location
for Turkeys future wine industry.

COLONIAL WEALTH
IS FRANCE HOPE
Exhibition at Paris Is Plan
ned to Show World Result
of Work.
BY the Associated Press.

vINCENNES, January Torrance
has set to work IN earnest to show the
world that Frenchmen are as good col
onists as any people anywhere. A great
colonial exhibition, a veritable city at
the gates of Paris, of which the first
corner stone has just been laid by Presi-
dent Doumergue, is the first chapter in
vast plan for capitalizing the 60,000,-
900 people who live under the tricolor
in the four quarters of the globe.
This colonial exhibition, for which
tremendous preparations are being made,
is the symbol in the minds of far-sight-
ed Frenchmen for a France not of
10000 900 inhabitants, but of 100000
900. From Guadeloupe and Martinique
to Madagascar and Djibouti. from Laos
and New Caledonia to Senegal and
Cameroun, these men have their eyes on
the VincenneS exhibition.
It will open in 1881 and embody two
years OF work devoted to displaying the
essence of French colonies to stay-at-
homes. It's largest building will remain
as permanent new ministry of colonies.
Every activity of the colonies will be
represented in the grand tradition of
French exhibitions.
Undeveloped riches of this colonial
empire stagger the imagination. Neglect
ed though 1t has been by the naturally
stay -at-home citizen. fundamentally
equipped and poorly capitalized, 1t
represented one-f1fth the economic &C
tivity of the home country this year.
It's total yearly commerce is at pres
ent worth more than 100000 100000.
France hopes not only to reconsti-
tute, but ever to multiply the national
fortune by properly exploiting this
empire.
Ports, roads, railways, capital, en-
gineers and technicians are needed for
such work. Above all, the interest and
pride of Frenchmen at home in this
permanent monument to the work Of
great Frenchmen abroad must be
aroused
The Vincennes exhibition is the key
to the plan.
