Miss Halarna
in Dramatic
Song Series
Cze C h o s lovakian So
prano Heard for First
Time in This City.

MARIA HALAMA. Czechoslovakian
mezzo-soprano, was heard for the
first time in this city yesterday after
noon at the home of Albert Joseph
Milans in Kenwood. This was the
second in a series of concerts being
sponsored by M. Milans during the
Summer and Fall months to intro
duce young and promising artists.
Miss Halama has a rich meZzo
voice Of great beauty, which she uses
with confident skill. She possesses
wide range, with low tones of con-
siderable opulence and true contralto
quality, and clear, brilliant high tones
Her first group contained two arias,
"Veruna's Air" from Blodek's In the
Well" and the Invocation" from
'The Masked Ball. by Verdi, both
of which were delivered with a fine
feeling for the dramatic values of the
text and music. Four songs, sung in
English, THE Blue Bell" by McDow-
ell, "Slumber Song" by Divina. her
accompanist; Far Away" and Hills"
by LaForge demonstrated her versa
Unity IN projecting olHerent MOODS,
and proved her to be an artistic and
intelligent singer.
The. second half of the program
consisted entirely of Czechoslovakian
folk songs, which she sang attired in
her native costume. In these very
interesting songs Miss Halama was
completely at ease, and, although
singing IN a language unknown to
most of the audience, expressed with
subtle and varied nuance the essence
of each one. The enthusiasm of her
audience brought demands for several
encores.
Mr.. Vaclav Divina, Czechoslovakian
composer-pianist, accompanied with
rare sympathy and understanding.

Ashore on leave, enroute to his home
at Tangier, Va, Bradshaw was walk

fering untold agony, he summoned a
taxi and requested to be taken to the
nearest physician and just as he rails
ed his foot to enter the waiting auto
mobile, he fell over into the arms of
a bystander dead.
After an inquest had decided that
his death was caused by heart fail

OYSTER MARKES
OPENED AGAIN ON
SEPTEMBER lST

With the cooler weather on the way,
housekeepers who are looking for
something to tempt the family appe-
tite can breathe sigh of relief now
that oysters are in the market again.
Served raw, on the half-shell, in ap-
petizing cocktails, or steamed, stewed,
broiled, fried, escalloped in deep bak-
ing dishes, hidden away in crisp pie
crust, or--looking forward a bit
holding a place Of honor as filling
for roast turkey, they are sure of a
welcome all their own, whether they
grace the festive board or the every
day table.
In preparation for the oyster season,
the proprietors of handling,
concerns throughout the State were
notified, during the summer, by Mr..
A. L. Sullivan, Chief of the Bureau of
Food and Drugs of the State Depart
ment of Health, of the requirements
which must be met for shucked and
canned oysters in order that the pro-
duct may be accepted for sale or ship
ment within or without the State.
Certificates granted by the State
Department of Health to the concerns
by which these requirements have
been met, expire at the close of each
season, and must be renewed as the
season opens. The certificates are
renewable and remain in effect when
inspections show that the operators
have complied with Federal and State
regulations. A number which is reg
istered with the State Department of
Health is assigned each certified con-
Germ and every can or receptacle ship
ped out by that concern has the reg
istered number stamped into the con-
tainer.
In directing attention to the sani-
tary requirements, Mr.. Sullivan en-
phasized the Importance of thorough
cleanliness for each establishment,
and of specific regulations with re-
gard to sound flooring, proper light
ing and ventilation, an adequate water
supply and facilities for the sterili-
cation and care of equipment and

is made by State, Interstate and Fed
eral authorities to protect the sources
of the supply, prevent the pollution of
streams in the neighborhood of the
oyster beds and to advance the inter-
ests of the industry through the reg
ulations now in effect. Because of
the sever winter last years output was
considerably below normal. We are
looking forward to more favorable
season this year."
Mr.. Sullivan strongly recommended
that consumers and retailers buy from
certified concerns.

about members Of the Democratic Ma
ttonal Committee practicing law In the
Capital.
Harold A. Lafount, Republican mem
Der member Of the commission, said
the commission did not undertake CEN
sorship In any manner, remarktng that
the law creating the commission denied
1t the power Of censorship.
II know Of no attempts whatever to
censor any political speeches" he said.
The one political requirement In the
law, he remarked, was the provision
that If q station allowed a candidate
for public ONCE to talk 1t must sim
ilarly allow his opponent or his op-
ponent's supporters an opportunity to
speak.
Secretary Joins Denial.
An equally vigorous denial was voiced
by H. L. Petty, secretary Of the COM
mission, Of q charge by Robinson that
he had been assigned by Postmaste,
General Farley to obtain free broad
casting time for the Democratic Ma
tional Committee.
Petty, who directed the Democratic
radio activities during the campaign
said his only connection at present with
the committee was to advise 1t on the
use of such time as it had on the air
This, he said, was In no way connected
with his work at the commission.
AT no time. on or of the record
has the Democratic National Commit
tee sought free time from any chain Of
independent radio station" Petty said
