NEW YORK, April 12.-Marion Tall
ley. youthful Metropolitan Opera star,
whose phenomenal career brought her q
fortune In three years, has decided to
retire to a farm. Estimates are that
her golden voice has made $500 900. 4
Since she Is only IL years old and
presumably in years to come would earn
hundreds OF thousands more, she has
amazed her concert manager and
friends with the statement:
II have made up my mind to retire
from the professional stage. By this ]
mean all operate appearances as we'll.
II am going West with my family.
The farm might be in California, and
1t might be In Colorado, but I ana going
TO look first in the Middle West. am
going TO be just like all other farmers. 4"
Last Appearance May 4.
Her last appearance will be at Cleye-
land, where she will sing in Lucia, 7"
May 4. Her engagement with the Metro
politan expires with that appearance.
Miss Talley came from Kansas City,
Mo-, to make 100000 debut at the
Metropolitan February II, 1926. A
trainload Of her fellow townsmen came
to augment the thousands who stormed
the opera house that night and accord
her thunderous acclaim for her Gilda in
"Rigoletto." 81.
Born in Nevada, Mo-, Miss TaIley
gave promise Of musical talent at an
early age. She sang popular songs at

and the violin when she was 7.
In 1922 she had her FIRST addition

DENVER, April 12.-An attractive
brunette, who police say may have been
q man dressed in woinan's clothes, was
sought today as the bandit who obtained

the Colorado State Bank here by threat

nitroglycerine.
In the course Of yesterday afternoons
business. @. Z. Kenney, q teller, noticed
young and pretty woman approach
his counter, apparently to cash check
Instead, she handed him n note which
said, Give me all the bills you have
In the cage or / will touch OF this
bottle of nitroglycerine, ana blow you

Kenney hesitated. The customer look
ed suggestively at her brown paper par
eel with a fuse protruding from one
end and a match, which she began
tracing lightly on the counter. Kenney
hastily scooped up bundle Of bills and
pushed them through the cage window.
"Not fives. II you please, they are too
bundlesome," the bandit suggested.
Kenney passed out bills OF large de-
nominations. then obeyed orders TO de.
liver ell the other currency In sight.
After warning the teller not TO say
anything until I get outside" the
stylish dressed bandit walked from the
bank and disappeared before bank en-
ployes reached the street.

FAIRNESS IS GOOD BUSINESS

Some little time ago the famous Rocky Mountain Fuel
Company sought to insure industrial peace in its coal
mines by introducing more liberal wage scales, working
rules and methods of dealing with its employees. A recent
report from the president Of the concern indicates that
the effort has been highly successful.
After citing increased sales tonnage and production
under the new regime, his report says:
THE men employed in and around the mines of the
Rocky Mountain Fuel Co. received an average wage
Of $795 per day during the first quarter OF 1929. While
the wage contract increased the earnings Of the men, as
we desired 1t should, it has not resulted in increased pro-
duction costs because Of the cooperation and increased
efficiency which have characterized the new relationship
1.-THE effective working OF the contract is further shown
by the fact that the pit committee and mine superin-
tendents are satisfactorily settling complaints. Only two
cases In II months have been appealed from the decisions
Of the pit ommittees and superintendents.'
This is extremely gratifying news. 1t is becoming in
creasingly evident that a humanitarian policy is, after
all, only good business.

Editorial Comment
A SOUTH ATLANTIC AIR SERVICE
New York TinleS)

tNoW YORK TlnleS)
The prospect now is that the first Atlantic airplane
service will be put on between Lisbon and Brazil BY the
enterprisinG Luftiansa Of Germany. This company in
1926 anticipated by a few months the air-rail transporta-
ton which is now in operation in the United States. The
Lufthaasa has a network OF lines of air travel serving
every part Of Germany, with extensions to almost every
creased 6 per cent. freight 81 per cent, and baggage 6
per cent. It is now operating almost 100 air routes. TIE
achievements OF Pinedo. FeTrarin, Franco. and Costes in
flying the Southern Atlantic indicated a design of France,
Italy and Spain to establish commercial services with
Spanistl- American countries, but the Lufthansa planned
to be first. Nowhere need there be a long nonstop flight,
ard weather in the South Atlantic is clement by COM
rarison with the North Atlantic.
In the spring of this year the Luftlansa intimated that
i. would establish a regular service to South America
before 1880. Alliances were made with the Iberia COM
pany Of Spain and the Condor Syndicate of Brazil. Three
Roilrbacn-Romar planes with a flying radius of 1000
kiloneterS were mentioned as the machines that would be
used. It was said that there might be a competitor in the
great Dornier plane known as the DIX. AS the Lufthansa
is n powerful monopoly, it is more likely that the Dornier
that the three Ronar planes have been taken over, and
that the German terminus OF a South American service
will be Travemunde.
In June Berlin reported that 1.-The Romars will in
augurate some time this summer a transatlantic service
between Germany and South America, making stops at
Lisbon. Mcdeira Islands and Cape Verde Islands" Tests
Of the Romars have proved satisfactory. They have been
flown $500 miles in twenty five hours, although the total
weight lifted was nineteen long tons. Watertight COM
partments should keep these flying boats afloat in any
but the most tempestuous weather. The great wings
have also been made W%atcrtight. AS in the case Of the
Doynier. the Roman motors are carried in a row above
the wings, where even high seas would probably not reach
them.
It is not eXtravagantly optimistic to believe that the
problem of Atlantic services with such big Scaboats is
near solution. The Dornier plane with its IL motors and
capacity for half a hundred passengers or more is full
Of premise. Enormous as it is in bulk, it leaves the water
smoothly and quickly. although the weight lifted in a
test on Lake Constance was ~thirty-siX and a half long
tons. 1t developed a speed of 13l miles. There must be
more experimental flights before any of these big air
planes can be declared practicable, and the test will not
be thorough unless made over the sea for long distances
and in high winds.

SACRIFICED-FOR WHAT:

Tne two Swiss flyers, apparently, are lest. Like 50
many othe. airmen who tried the parsiois AaanSlc
crossing in a plane that WAS no. quite up TO the loo'
they have vanished without leaving a trace.
A great deal is being said and written about the need
less sacrifice Of il. We are hearing again tia: these
FLYERS. like their predecessors, have thrown away their
lives for no good purpose.
Now all of that is perfectly true; yet it is necessary
to emphasize. once more. that none OF these tragic aerial
ventures is ever a total loss. The world can never be
reminded too often that there are men TO whom case,
comfort and a long lie are ua!nportant things.
Go to a library some day and read the journal OF the
Greeley Arctic expedition, sent into the noIthlallo oy tfc
U. S. army a matter of four decades ago.
You will read there the simple, unvarnishod account
of a little group Of soldiers, marooned On a do1olate ice
bound island, without food, without boats, without any
hone Of escape. Week after week they stayed there, I'M
complaining, averting starvation by eating silrlnnpS and
a wretched variety of moss. One by one they dlca.
Storms beat upon them; occasionally the journal remarks
that one or another of the party died in the night, but
that I'VE were too weak to bury his body until two days
later
Rescue finally camo-when all but seven Of the party
were dead. The survivors, crippled and enlaclatca, were
BROUGHT back to this country.
Not one of us is in any material way better OIL Tor the
work of that expedition. It hasn't added to our comfort.
security or happiness. But was it, then, a total waste?
Did the men who died in the frozen north die for
nothing?
OF course not. They were followers of a grand Old
tradition, just as the too hopeful avlators OF 1929 are
its followers; men vino, in the old phrase, "despiscd the
world and welcomed a chance to risk all they had for
a tassle with mankinds oldest enemy, fear.
The world has always had men CT this type, and it has
used them prodigaly. They have left their bones on
lonely ice floes, in burning deserts, in savage wilderness;
they have struggled and cursed and died on distant sea
lanes. on cannibal-infested islands, on remote mountain
peaks; they have gone out with banners and trumpets
and they have gene out unsung and unnotlccd; ad
sometimes the stay -at-homes have profited by their sac
\. rifica and sometimes they have not.
But one thing we have always gained from them. They
have proved, again and again, in peril and pain, that
there is something in man that is higher than the ape
and tiger; something that cannot be content with easy
days and quiet nights, but that demands combat with
the wild force of nature itself.
And there is that to remember when you think Of the
lost Swiss flyers.

FARM COOPERATION
Washington Star

The era of corporation has set in for the farmer.
planning to pool their produce and to market it through
cooperative effort on a tremendous scale. The latest
developments are the announcements from New York
OF a gigantic cooperative organization to handle fruits
and vegetables and from the federal farm board in
Washington of plans for a cooperative selling agency for
the wool growers of the country. Already. with the aid
and advice of the farm board, there is being created a
s~200o0O00 grain corporation to help the farmers dispose
in orderly fashion of their wheat. corn and other grain
crops. Not long ago came from New Orleans reports of
a project to organize a national chamber of agricultural
co-operativcs, with a membership Of 100000 farmers.
It mas been the contention Of the Hoover administra-
tlor-and OF many OF the farm organizations themselves
that the great problem which confronted the American
farmer was marketing. Production on the farms OF this
country Is not a problem. The farmers know how to
produce, ana with diligence can do so, far exceeding at
times the demand for their products. Their trouble has
laid In getting prices for their products which compen-
safe Tor their investments and their labor. It does not
require great acuraen to grasp the fact that if a ire
ncndols amount of wheat or beef or tomatoes is sud-
denly thrown into the market, prices Of that commodity
will be forced down Immediately. Nor does it require
great acuncn to understand that the farmer, standing
alone, Is easily the victim Of the buyer. who knows that
the farmer must sell when his crops come In.
The purpose Of the efforts now being made by the
government and the farmers themselves is to make
prices for agricultural products than they have OBJ
tanned in the past. The farmers have suffered greatly
IN comparison with the manufacturers and with labor
when 1t comes to selling. They have to buy in a we'll
organized market. II the farmers now are to benefit by
nigner prices, some one must pay those prices. It
remains to be seen whether the general consumer Of
~foodstuffs Is to pay this bill or whether the price in
creascs are to be squeezed out Of the m%iddleman, who is
reputcd to have grown fat at the expense of the farmer.
There IS no question that there has been q tremendous
spread between the price paid the farmer for his prod
ice and the p-ice paid by the consumer for foodstuffs
But. whoever pays the price. it has been clear for a
lcn3 time that the American farmer, generally speaking,
has been entitled to q better deal. It has been pledged
the farmer by the Republicans ana the Democrats. The
Republican administration has gone ahead with its plans
to give the farmer q chance to obtain better prices for
his products. TIL huge co-operatives already planned
are In q measure its answer to the demand for farm re-
lief. If they work successfully. the farm problem. SO fai
as the farmer as a class Is concerned. will be solved. Nc
plan can make every individual layner . success.

GROWTH
(By Alice JudsOn Peale)

When first the children came to
the country they chung to the porch
and the swing.
A walk, even to the village, could
be accomplished only by means Of
the bride of an ice cream one Moth
or, who loved the woods and fields,
was disappointed that her children
should be so insensitive to the beauty
of the country and so slow to avail
themselves Of opportunities to roam
and explore. Apparently they cared
nothing for the whole deep green
countryside to which she had taken
them for their summer holiday.
The children read and sewed and
complained that there was nothing
to do. For a month they were bored
and longcd for the boardwalk of a
street.
Then slowly their attitude
changed. The advent of a foal on a
reighboring farm delighted them.
They went wading in the brook.
When mother went into the gar
den to get the beans for dinner they
offered to help. They begged Willy
to let them drive the horses and
were brimful Of information on the
treatment for ringworm in horses
and milk fever in cows.
They took long walks into forgot
ten meadows back in the hills and
brought home gallons of shining.
ripe blackberrics. Before the sum-
mer was over they had learned to
love the country as every child
should love it.
We are likely to be impatient when
our children do not at once respond
to the opportunities we offer them,
W. forget that we must give them
time to become adjusted to a strange
situation, to find themselves and
slowly grow into the realization Of
new satisfactions.
When your child seems slow t.
take advantage of some bright op.
portunity, don't be impatient anG
feel that you have failed. Wait and
give him time to grow.
