WAR VET STILL
 LISTED DEAD

Memphis, Tenn.--It doesn't bother Robert Weakley, Memphis pressman, to be listed among the World war dead and once he helped print paper which told of his death.
 During the World war, official dispatches from the war depart ment notified relatives he had been killed, or was missing in ac- ton.
 Later, he turned up in a French hospital near the Spanish border and upon recovery from wounds was returned to the front. The government, however, did not cor rect the dispatches and he came home to surprise his parents.
 When accounts of the unveiling of tablet to war dead was print ed here, Weakley read about him. self being dead.
 More recently, upon the com pletion of the new federal build- ing here, a tablet was erected up- on which West Tennessee World war dead were listed. The bronze plaque carried the name of Weak ley. Robert"
 eff I can feel this we'll dead, won't mind dying" eWakley said, when the monument was called to his attentoin. Besides, I'm in good company, for a lot of those men on the tablets were my bud dies"
 Weakley was a member of the 18th Infantry, First Division.

 FOR 36 YEARS

Gainesville, Tex. - (UP)N- AL though not an American citizen, for 36 years Thomas s. Crawford, division superintendent of the San ta Fe railroad, through misinfor- nation has voted in Texas and na- tional elections.
 He hopes to vote in the election this fall, but as a bona fide Amer ican citizen.
 Crawford came to America from Ireland when he was IT and settled in Memphis, Tenn. with two uncles. The uncles told him they would at- tend to the naturalization and Crawford passed up the worry.
 He came to Texas shortly after wards, believing he was a full- fiedged citizen.
 A few days ago he began won- dering how he could, if necessary, prove his citizenship as he had no naturalization papers. On inquiry at the naturalization department in Fort Worth, he learned. he never had been naturalized.
 Ut never entered into my mind about needing citizenship papers for in 1913 I made a trip to Eu- rope and was admitted without a passport and re-admitted to the United States when came back" " Crawford said.
 P. J. Pung, United States na- turalization official. said Crawford could obtain his citizenship by ap- plying to a district court and would not have to wait the usual five years required of immigrants.

Bulkeley, president of the Northern Ohio Opera association who re- ported nearly 35,O00 persons att tended the Metropolitan's three day engagement which closed on Saturday night.
 The festival concluded with La Giaconda'' which for the first time brought Rosa Ponselle and her sister, Carmela, together in the same performance.
 Rosa, always a Cleveland favor- ite, scored another triumph in the dramatic title role. Her voice drew repeated ovatoins as she sang the tragic arias of the young Italian girl who sacrifices herself in death to save the life of the young noble. man who loves another.
 Making her Cleveland debut, Carmela sang the lesser role of Laura, the welded sweetheart of Grimaldo, the young nobleman. The mezzo-soprano immediately endeared herself to local music-lov- CTS with her warm, resonant voice that easily penetrated the higher ranges ordinarily restricted to CO., loraturas. The few scenes in which the sisters appeared together were distinctive.
 Giovanni Martinelli registered a singular hit with his performance as Grimaldo.
