New York-4Never before In the history of Metropolitan Opera au- ditions has there been such mix thre of vocal and physical beauty, reports Mons. Gatti -Casazza, the impresario.
 , From a,r points of the land have come hundreds of American girls to compete with their European sisters, and pulchritude has been us marked as voice improvement.
 While only two American girls have been chosen for the forth coming grand opera season. Senor Gatti Insists that the improvement in voice, quality IS remarkable. Scores of the young women he heard are capable of fine light opera performances, he says, and many are equal to the tasks of concert and heavy opera stage---if not in leading roles.

). HENRY'S WIDOW HELPS KEEP ALIVE
 VI HIS MEMORY, FOR SHE'S A WRITER, TOO


Mrs Porter said she had lived most of her life at Warsaw" She quoted from one of her famous husbands favorite stories. A mountainecr had been asked If he had lived all his life In the moun- tains. "No, not yit,'" he replied.
 Mrs Porter was born In Greens boro, N. C., in 1868. She entered Peace Institute at Raleigh when she was 17 and graduated three years later. She, began to write soon after she left school, and 1t was through the medium of her literary work that she married o. Henry.
 The two had known each other as children in Greensboro. It was in 1905 that Miss Sara Coleman learned her old friend was o. Hen ry. tho famous writer, She wrote him q letter and he answered 1t. They corresponded for two years and In 1907, on O. Henry's birth. day, then met in New York city. They were married November 2, 1907.
 Saved All His Letters
 After her husbands death, Mrs Porter made her permanent home in Asheville and continued to write. In 1918 her Winds of Destiny were published. In 1928 ono of her short stories was given honor able mention in the 0. Henry Me- morial award prize story contest. A series of stories written in the dialect of tho North Carolina mountains. known as the "Bijie" tales. were among her earliest work.
 0. Henry's personal letters to Mrs Porter are carefully preserved and will not be disturbed, she said.
 At the time of his death. 0. Hem ". she said. was receiving 2b cents per word for all he could find time to produce. Now, moro than likely, were his genius contemporary. 75 cents per word would be the min- mum rate.
 Mrs Porter lives quietly and contentedly in her old home. She has many visitors. an inordinate number of friends and life. never becomes boring In her home. It is her devotion to her friends. she admits. that prevents her from un- dertaking more in the ficld of let- ters.

The School Fare

The courts may sustain the position of the companies thereby
greatly increasing the transportation bill of the individual child

But for the money thus saved the companies will forfeit
hundreds of thousands of dollars.
They will virtually doom all hope of enactment of merger

They will further ALLEVIATE the public support which they

That order fathered directly by Congress- the Congress

The Commission for years refused promugae such
order and Congress finally took matters into its hands
of consideration for school children their hard pressed
parents
Is likely that Congress which finds the companies
vigorously fighting its desires will accede the wishes of those
companies and pass the which alone grant the
companies the privilege of uniting and thus bringing about

LISTEN, WORLD!
BY Elsie Robinson

ord" you exclaim Indignantly.
Look how she swims, and
drives fast cars, and hunts
tigers and"
Yes; all that is true. She's
certainly strong for circus stunts.
but do these stunts take real
courage? Or do they require
simply a red-hot desire to show
c.?
Anyone can be brave when
doing a spotlight act that will
get a big, resounding hand. But
how brave is the modern girl
about the things she DOESN'T
want to do: the hard, monot-
onous jobs that get no handH
How brave is she about
marrying a poor man and do
ing her own housework? Wear
ing shabby clothes? Giving
up amusementS? Tackling the
job of being a mans partner,
as her mother tackled it?
Her defiance of public opin-
ion; her unconventionality; her
determination to be free-yes,
that's something.
May Not Spell Courage
But defiance Of public opin-
ion and determination to be
free do not necessarily imply
courage. They may simply
imply selfishness, a ruthless
disregard of other peoples
rights, and indifference toward
ones own obligations.
How brave is the modern
girl when it comes to self sac
rifice? When it comes to self
discipline? I wonder.
And this matter of ambition.
Healthy ambition is a fine
thing, and many a modern girl
has it. But is the average girl
ambitious-or is she merely
greedy? Or discontented and
peevish.
Does she want to build a
fine life, or does she merely
want to get out of a shabby,
uncomfortable life?
How can you tell which she
is? Watch her performance.
The ambition woman has a
definite goal, and works to-
ward it. She is willing to en-
dure hardship, face the most
tiresome training, to get there.
But the greedy person grabs.
Grabs, and grabs. And if she
can't grab what she wants, she
goes on to something else.
AS a matter Of fact, most
young women ARE ambitious
though not in the sense the
dramatic reviewer m e ant.
They are ambitious to get a
man-and all the privileges
and perquisites Of being a
missis. Which sometimes does
them credit. And sometimes
doesn't.
Courageous an ambitious?"
Well, maybe.
And again, maybe not.

preciate2 We are prone to
think that in a democracy
the people do not think;
that there is no gratitude in
republics; that unselfish
public service makes no ap-
peal.
Now note the answer:
Wagner was not featured in
the campaign. The press
was largely filled with
stories of the presidential
and gubernatorial contests.
Mr.. Wagner's opponent, Mr..
Medalie, is an able and
gracious gentleman with
many personal qualities to
attract. And the people
went to the polls and gave
Wagner a spectacular ma
jority.
The people had thought.
The masses did not forget.
And the enormous vote
given to Wagner carries the
reassuring message that in
a democracy the man who
truly serves with intelli-
gence and heart can count
upon the appreciation Of the
people.

A GAIN we call attention
"A Of the country to the
fact that New York State
has a constitutional pro-
vision which makes IL i'm
possible for the people to
rule. There is an impress
sion, we believe, that in this
country we have representa-
tive government, and that
the decisions on public poll
cies are made by the vote
of the majority at the
polls. In most common
wealths this is true. It
certainly is not true in New
York.
Thus, this year, Herbert
Lehman was elected gov
ernor by a majority Of
about 100000. That is a
remarkable majority. 1t
is indicative Of a very clear
intent on the part of the
people. The intent was to
have the policies and princi-
pies of Mr.. Lehman put
into operation at Albany. !
But under the unrepre-
sentative, un-American pro-
vision of the constitution Of
New York, even a 100000
majority leaves one branch
Of the Legislature in pos
session of the foes of the
policies for which the peo-
pie voted. The Assembly
is Republican.
This is not due to people
voting for Lehman for gov
ernor and for Republican
members of the Assembly.
If that were true, it would
be stupid, but still it would
represent the will of the
people. But it is not true.
This amazing condition is

that we have rotten boroughs

for him he would have been
defeated for reelection this
year, for the Republicans
weirdly enough have a ma
jority of one in the Legis-
lature. This majority in the
legislature stands for the
minority of the people. And
were we still electing United
States Senators by the legis-
latures the will Of the people
of New York would have
been thwarted and one of
the greatest, most construc-
tive and statesman-like Sena-
tors in Washington would
have been kicked out of Of
flee.
Need any more be saidi
An Ambitious
Work
And this suggests some
thing that should be graft
flying to the friends Of
democratic institutions. The
defeat of Senator Wagner
would have convinced mill
ions that the people have no
appreciation. For six years
he had dedicated his mind
and heart to the highest
kind of constructive public
service. He not only had
discussed and voted on mea-
sures-he had mastered their
meaning and potentialities
by the most exhaustive and
meticulous investigation pos
sible.
A member of the minority
in the Senate, he had not
been content merely to op-
pose. He set to work upon
the theory that even a min
ority member, representing
great constituency, may
properly function in a con-
structive way. He did.
When the great crash came,
his humanitarian instincts
aroused his interest in the
working masses-so many
on the streets. But-and
this is the measure of his
craftsmanship - he sought
something bigger than mere
temporary relief. He sought
ways, not merely to tide
the workers over a tempo
rary disaster, but to protect
them against a repetition Of
it in the future.
This was an ambitious
work.
Thinking in terms of hui
manity and society he sum-
moned to his aid great
economists, social workers,
thinkers, and prepared q
program in a set Of meas
ures. Thus it is not an ex-
aggeration to say that in
craftsmanship Bob Wagner,
dealing with existing condi-
tions, has lOomed larger
than any other man in pub
lie life.

In these days, the average
married woman has to spend all
of her time trying, to keep love
from flying out of the window
with one hand, while she helps
to keep the wolf from the door
with the other.
A crouch is just a mans in
articulate way Of making his
-disapproval felt when he hasn't
the nerve to express it in words.
In most things a man may
be more level-headed than a
woman; but when it comes to
picking out a wife, he seems to
suffer from temporary mental
arrangement and complete pa
ralySis of the cerebrum.
The only time when a mar
ried man feels very much mar
ried, these days, is when some
woman, who has been trying to
help him forget it, suddenly de-
mands to be taken seriously.
