ROSA PONsELLE,S RECTAL.

Looking as though she had come to
life from the pages of Godey'S lady
book OF the Cos, in her dainty pastel
tinted gown of creamy white lace and
Spring green bow-knot trimming, Rosa
Ponselle, the American prima donna Of
the Metropolitan Opera Co. presented
a recital program charmingly before a
capacity audience at Polls Theater yes
terday afternoon. She was received
with mounting enthusiasm. her operate
airs being particularly popular and her
generous list of encores-in themselves
almost a petite overwhelmingly ap-
plauded by her audience. The prima
donna's love of contrast was clearly
shown in her choice of these encores,
for they included such diverse works
as "Heine.' by Leo Blech of Berlin-a
lifting little folk type of song; lie
Rossignol." a poetic song by Chopin,
with recently discovered anonymous
words written to the first theme of one
of the Posih COMPOSERS loveliest etudeS;
Rimsky- Korsakoff's Nightingale and
the Rose" "Habanera" from Bizet's
Carmen" Liza Lehmann's coy

the Ponselle that first became famous

into the most exquisite of coloratura in
terpreters, with limpid trills and round
ed high notes given that sustained
beauty that is fostered by true bel
canto art. Again, in the Carmen" en-
core, the field of a real contralto was
conquered in brilliant triumph by this
singer. Ponselle's range of voice and
completeness of tonal mastery are
among her most amazing qualities.
At the piano, Stuart Ross was ideal
as the accompanist. and he made two
short appearances in solo groups. re-
ceiving encores to both. Perhaps his
most interesting selections were his own

1t is suggested that persons residing

American quota of one-fifth an immi-

GRANGE STORE

CORPORATION
With Purpose Accomplished,
Directors Feel Institution
Should Be Dissolved to
Save Refinancing

Directors of the Grange Ware
house of Kennewick assigned the
assets of the local store to The Sc
curities Corporation for the bene-
fit of the creditors. This action
was taken as of September 6 and
the affairs of the institution are
now in the hands of Fl. G. Fyfe.
While the loss to the creditors
will not be large, the directors were
of the opinion that to keep the in
stitution alive refinancing would
be necessary. Feeling that the pur-
pose for which the institution was
inaugurated had been accomplish
ed and that the grocery business
in Kennewick was already over
done, it was decided to close the
store. Negotions are now under
way for the disposal of the stock.

HOLCOMB SPEAKS
BEFORE KIWANIS
Constitution Week Observed By
Local Group; Attorney
Discusses Obedience

Kiwanis clubs all over the Unit
ed States are observing Constitu-
tion week, with special speakers
and programs. The local observ-
ance took the form Of an adress
on different phases of the consti-
tuition by C. l. Holcomb, who was
the speaker at Tuesdays luncheon.
Mr.. Holconb pointed out that
while it was generally recognized
that the original constitution was
as nearly perfect legal guide for
a nation as had ever been devised
at one time, nevertheless the
original makers realized that it
would not be suitable in itself,
standing alone, for all time to
come. Therefore machinery was
provided within the document It.
self for additions from time to
time as progress and development
might demand.
The eighteenth amendment now
so widely discussed was the result
of a change in the demands of the
American people from moral and
economic standpoint, Mr.. Holcomb
stated. He said that any thinking
citizen would agree that there is
no question but that this country
was better under present condi-
tions than it could possibly be un-
der the old reign of the open
saloon. While decrying the viola
tion of any of the provisions Of
this amendment, he pointed out
the fact that methods were being
used by over jealous enforcement
officers and others interested
which were in violation to certain
sections of the original constitu-
tion.
Calling for a more universal re.
spect for each Of the provisions
made in the constitution and for q
more extended knowledge on the
/; part Of the American people for III
basic laws, Holcomb congratulated
the local and national Kiwani.
clubs for their work in civic af.
i fairs.
A special committee from tn,
club which was. appointed to in
terview the school authorities las
week reported. The schools are ask
ing the local Kiwanians to con
tinue their work Of policing tn
grounds during the football game
this yeax as well as to arrang
! for transportation for the player
and rooters on the occasion Of on
Of town engagements. Plans ar
being worked out to make specis
awards each year to the player o
| players who are outstanding /
| sportsmanship, leadership and ger
eral utility. Details of this con
test will be announced later.
