Franz Lehar's action in changing the
scene Of his new operetta, "Giuditta," !"
from Italy to Portugal at the sugges-
ton of Premier Mussolini. will bring
smiles to the lips of many Americans.
The operetta had been dedicated to
him, but upon reading the manuscript
II Duce decided that the character Of
an Italian officer in the play was not
heroic enough to suit his taste. There
fore the change.
When the operetta is presented, even
though the scene is presumably in
Portugal, there are few spectators who
will be unaware of the fact that the
scene was originally laid in Italy. In
fact. because of the dispute arising over
it, the operetta Is quite likely to be
more popular than it would have been
otherwise. And it Is entirely possible
that many spectators will read into
the play satire which was never intend
ed in the original operetta.
Voltaire, 1t will be remembered, had
favorite trick of laying the scene of
his plays in the Orient. He made
Oriental monarchs mimic French
kings. He drew pictures Of Oriental
courts which ridiculed openly the
French court. The point is that very
few persons were deluded by the change
of scene.
Premier Mussolini may learn also
that change of scene means little.
II the operetta Is intended as a por-
trayal Of Italian life, few intelligent
spectators will be fooled by the change
# scene.

Asks Rep. Cochran for Further Views
On Married Employees of United States

to give up their jobs. There Is no use
going into the history of the Economy
League or the law or the act creating
the present condition that SO many of
these husbands and wives find them
selves in, because it is too well known,
not only here in Washington, but also
in the field. So, for the benefit of
many who might see some hope in
the possibility of the husbands and
W. ies again securing employment, I
would like to ask Congressman Coch-
ran what his views are regarding the
subject covered in this letter, and
whether or not he and others like
him are going to take their stand at the
bottom OF the ladder, or can we hope
that he and his crowd will start at
the top Of the ladder and equalize the
situation from both ends of the ladder?
On the other hand. there is a way
TO overcome or beat the proposition of
husband and wife both working in the
Government service. They can disre-
gard the foundation stone of our Gov
ernment and our social makeup by
not getting married-they can live to-
gether as man and woman-not as
husband and wife-and that would be
one way to beat it. While on the other
hand, where it is absolutely necessary
10 pay up back debts to keep the house
hold going, and for both the husband
and wife to work, they, of course, can
get a divorce and live in separate
houses and visit each other OCCASION
ally as the occasion may arise. This
Is another way that the Congressman's
ideas can be overcome and many typi-
cal cases. as described above, could no
doubt be located here in Washington
and in the field if the Congressman is
interested from that point Of view. Ap-
parently the Congressman and a few
others like him would like to penalize
the poor man and woman and place
marriage in the luxury class or. on the
other hand. tend to discourage mar
rlage and encourage living out of the
bonds of matrimony
will appreciate any comment that
Congressman Cochran sees fit to make
on the subject. because he can rest
assured that there will be plenty of
fight put forth on this particular sub
Ject at the coming session of Congress
and concrete cases, as described in this
letter, can and will be presented for
the consideration of the members then.

He knows, of course. that people who
like novels will wax wrathy over the
notion that any mechanical device ever
could take their place. It is sheer nom
sense to imagine that any product of
the machine shop is competent to do
any such thing. As well might it be
suggested that rubber doll could be
a proper substitute for real flesh and
blood baby.
Similar fears were entertained by
timid folk when the phonograph ap-
peared as competitor of the concert
platform and when the cinematograph
developed as rival Of the legitimate

would be willing to swear, he Is un-
able to retaliate in kind, only on the

He recalls the old admonition. that
one Is not a gentleman because he
expects to find others so, but solely
bcause he Is such himself, or, at least,
tries to be.
Hence he is willing to smile as
sweetly as possible at the lady, know
ing that just as surely as she keeps
up that ruthless path through this
busy establishment, SO will she meet
her match at last.

And these are small boys, typical

He doesn't want the nails, but he

1t is game with him, although the

Sometimes in entering from the day

actually catch somebody.
Then, oh! what glare is bestowed

after an automobilist whose driving

Often We have wondered lust why
bus drivers indulge in this little pleas

They will stare long and fixedly in
the direction of some automobilist who.
consciously or unconsciously, has vio-
lated some traffic regulation, although
the man may be half block down the
street by that time.
Still the bus operator stares where
he should be, with righteous indignation
depicted upon his wholly honest fea-
lures.
No doubt his staring is for the benefit
OF two persons, himself and the nearest
passenger. not for the offender at all.
He realizes as well as any that the
nitwit is gone, but by staring with
determination he eases his own indig-
nation. as well as shows the passenger,

Russia Turns to the East.

Having solidified her political and
diplomatic relations in the West, en-
b-acirg both Europe and America. So
Wet Russia is turning to the East along
lines destined to be of far-reaching con-
sequences. The Moscow government has
initiated grandiose movement for the
colonization of Siberia and its other
Far Eastern provinces. The purpose is
two-fold-flrst, to open up the vast,
undeveloped resources of that yawning
region. and, secondly, to people it with
settlers who will eventually form a
strong bulwark against the penetration,
peaceful or otherwise, Of Japan.
Moscow dispatches compare the gov
ernment's plans with the covered wagon
era, which opened the great American
West to civilization, and predict, in the
and agricultural empire in the Russian
East not unlike that which eventually
was carved out of our virgin trans
Mississippi territory. Natural resources
of almost every conceivable sort and
in inexhaustible volume abound in
Siberia and are depicted as requiring
only the influx of a virile population,
and, of course, capital, to coax from the
treasure stores of Nature an economic
prosperity only waiting to be tapped.
Regular trainloads of Russians are
now being transported to the Far East
ern areas under government auspices.
Enticing inducements, not unlike the
American free land grants of half a
century ago, are being held out to
"colonists" and others willing to pioneer
in the Siberian steppes and beyond.

agricultural produce-will be elimi-

ribs.
Properly regarded, she is worth all

And there is little Johnnie, being
drug along by his left arm, while he
vainly tries to twist his head to see all
the sights his small eyes can take in.
Then the traffic tie-ups!

pains have been taken to prevept the
very thing.

The real Christmas atmosphere is at
its best in the stores. where a profusion
of things beckon to the spirit of giving.
Many persons permit the crush and
the hurry to make them forget this
plain fact.
The cramming and jamming of
human beings together is a veritable
part of 1t, without which something
would be missing from the season.
He who minds confusion. therefore,
to such an extent that he deliberately
abSents himself from the marts of trade,
or who delegates the duty to others. is
missing something which might as we'll
be his.
He viii need, however, a good sense
Of humor.
The spirit of fun, and this spirit
alone, will stand him in good stead
when the lasge fat lady steps deliberate
ly on his toes as NE attempts to 60

You know those famous Easements
where they have all sorts of bargains
No sooner do you stand aside, wait
ing politely for the large lady to come
up. than she rewards you by trodding
squarely on the big toe of your right
foot.
You have to have real Christmas
spirit to forgive the old brute, who
actually scowls at you for getting your
hoof in the way.
Well, maybe it was your fault, after
all.
This Is one situation in which you
can forget the sad state of Europe, the
hectic condition of the good old u. S. A.
You can devote your entire mind to
determining just how well you can use
your elbows, and how far you can &c
in their usage without offending your
fellow man.
Fortunately. the spirit Of Christmas
is not confined solely to your own
breast, else a rather too free poking
with the left elbow would bring the
police down upon you.
We rather prefer the left elbow. for
some obscure reason or other.
The left elbow Is a mighty weapon

Competency Not Involved
In "Commodity Dollar
To tte Editor of The Star:

To ths Editor Of The Star:
Commenting on the commodity dollar
Mr. John w. Hester says, in The Star
of November 81, that he does not know
anything about 1t except-something
which is not SO. The commodity dollar
involves no question of competency or
honesty except in the preparation OF
the law to make it effective. If-and
that's a large "if"-the law is capable
of maintaining its objective, it does so.
or should do so, automatically.
The Federal Reserve act. on the other
hand, leaves the adjustment Of redis-
count rates and all the rest OF an In
tricate credit mechanism entirely in the
hands of private interests whose action
is predicated upon their Judgment as
to the needs Of business" This does,
indeed, become a matter of complete
competency and absolute honesty" for
the law, in itself, tends, as Prof. Warren
has pointed out. to create, not stability,
but violent fluctuations In money values.
