has sent both the long drought and
now he is sending both, a lovely
rain. OH how we should thank
God for the many blessings He be-
slows upon us; yet, a lot of people
have time for every other indivine

holy word. Is it any wonder we have

STATE COST OF
BRIDGE PROJECT
NEAR S75O,OOO
Bids Let on Two Sections of
Evansville Span; u. S.
to Help.

Cost of the Evansville bridge
probably will not exceed three
quarters of a million, Albert j.
wedeking. chairman of the Indiana
state highway commission. estimated
today.
Wedeking sal dthe two projects on
which bids were received today ap-
proximately would equal the four
remaining ones. Low bids on the
two totaled $1,142,745.
The federal government will
stand one-half of Indiana's share,
Wedekin said he has been assured,
leaving the state from a half to
three-quarters of a million dollars
expense.
Cost Over Two Million
Total cost Of the project will run
between S2,0eG000 and 100000,
Wedeking estimated-probably much
nearer the former.
The Kansas City Bridge Com
pany of Kansas City, was low bid
der on the first section with bid
of $466,900 for piers of concrete de-
sign and $543,775 for stone fanced

OPERA SEASON
OPENED WITH
USUAL GLITTER
Verdi'S Aida Again Draws
Packed House to Famed
Metropolitan.

BIZ United Press
NEW YORK, Oct. 28.-The Metro
politan opera season opened Mon
day night with its usual glitter and
rarading of the social elect.
The opera, which inaugurated the
forty-sixth season of the. Metro
politan Opera Company and the
twenty-third year of the reign of
Giulio Gatti-Cazazza as director,
was the familiar Verdis Aida"
The usual pomp and circum-
stance, despite the glitter and So
cial gathering, seemed to be missing
The house was crowded, of course,
and the customary 1000 heard
Maria Mueller, Karin Branzell
Giuseppe de Luca, Giovanni Marti-
nelli and the others vocalize the
ever enchanting airs of Verdi.
big Three" Not in Leads
It was the first opening night in
five seasons that one Of the Metro
politan's big three" feminine stars
was not given a leading role. The
lead previously has gone to Rosa
Ponselle, Lucrezia Bori or Maria
Jeritza.
The singers were in excellent voice
and Miss Mueller won repeated ova-
lions for her clear and ringing rem
dition of the part Of Aida. Miss
Branzell as Amneris, Martinelli as
Radames and De Luca as Amonraso
shared in the generous applause.
SOmber Air About Opening
There seemed to be a somber air
about this latest opening of the
Metropolitan Many realized that
soon they would be hearing the
same operas in another setting than
the Golden Horseshoe"
The old house, however, still re-
tains it's glamor, hallowed by ira
dition Of Caruso and other stars.
Until it is torn down and the pro-
jected new house built the Metro
politan will remain the shrine Of
opera.
New York society shared atten-
ton with foreign celebrities who
came as guests to attend the open
ing.
