 FOR WANDERER
California Man Cashes Worthless Checks to Be
 Sent to Prison

Sacramento, Cal = (UP) ~ Dis couraged by changed conditions, loss of friends and the bewildering strangeness of the "outside world" George Warren, 62, former soldier of fortune, cashed several small, worthless checks in his attempt to be sent back to Folsom prison, the best home he knows.
 Warren served IA years in Fol- som, and was not out a month be- fore he made overtures to return.
 1T have no money. no friends or relatives" he told Sheriff Don Cox. "I am just another old man-old and crippled with rheumatism. There is no place in the outside world for me. I want to go back to prison, where my friends are.
 "I wrote several worthless checks-just small ones, not big enough to hurt anybody"
 Warren said he was a soldier of fortune, always ready for revolu- tion, from 1902 until 1920, when he was sent to prison on the charge of young girl-a cahrge he claims was false.
 Once he enjoyed the friendship of General Bernardo Reyes, Mex ican revolutionist, and participated in the attempt to overthrow Presi- dent Porfirio DiaZ.

OPERA TROUPE
 GAINS STEADILY
First Profession to RecOv= CT From Depression
 Says Manager

Milwaukee, (UP) = A grand opera company that asks no sub- sidy and still makes money re- gently completed suwccessful H. day engagement in Milwaukee.
 It is the famous touring San Carlo company, which has brought opera at popular prices to hundreds of towns and cities throughout the country.
 Responsible for the success of the company is the dynamic inn presario, Fortune Gallo, now cele- brating his 18th year as manager. Gallo, who came to the United States from Italy 35 years ago, be- lieves that grand opera, as played by the San Carlo company, is the first profession to recover from the depression.
 The crowds that flocked to his performances in Milwaupkee veri- fled his belief. The IS. R. O." sign was posted hours ahead of the performance for more than half of the IA operas. There was a full house for almost every perform ance.
 News of the resignation of Guilio Gatti-Casazza as general manager of the Metropolitan Op- era association in New York came during the Milwaukee engagement. 'Talyk was heard that Gallo would be the logical man to succeed Gatti- Casazza.
 "Gallo is the one man who could make the Metropolitan pay" said Miss Margaret Rice, veteran man. ager of the Pabst theater.

The old-fashioned New England Thanksgiving dinner has under gone some slight changes in recent years but the central features of roast turkey and stuffing, mashed potatoes with giblet gravy and pumpkin pie remain overwhelm- ingly popular, according to infor- nation from home-makers in over 300 New England localities just assembled by the home-makers' service bureau of First National Stores. The changes reported by thethe woen, who submitted their favorite Thanksgiving d n n e r menus in a prize contest conducted by First National are in "fixin'." The reign of King Turkey as the favored monarch of New England challenged. Tomato juice and fruit cocktail are among the popular newcomers to the Thanksgiving menu. A salad is named by the overwhelming majority of house. wives as being a desirable part of the dinner. Mashed potatoes, squash, turnip, creamed onions, and swet potatoes are the most popular vegetables.

 Those who observed the Sab- bath weer tortured and those who continued to cling to the Jewish faith were persecuted.
 Rebelling against the prosecution, Mattathias, aged priest of the vil- lage of Modin, and his five sons, began a campaign against the edicts of the king. Led by Judah, the Maccabean and a small group of men they rose in revolt, event. ually defeating the Syrian army. Shortly after the final victory Ju- dah, the Maccabean, entered Jeru- slem, puriged the temple and re- dedicated it to the worship of God. For centuries the Jewish people have commemmorated this event by lightnin candles in the home and synagogue and by relating tc theri children the heroism of Israe in its, fight against tyranny and op. pression.
