are the reasons he gave for his
dictum:
The New Deal has already lost
the East. This, Mr.. Hoover said,
was demonstrated in the recent
special congressional election in
Rhode Island, where the Demo-
Gratis lost a seat by a $4,000 ma
jority that they had won last
November by $1,000.
An fastener, acceptable to
rulers of the G. o. P. (meaning
Mr.. Hoover, could not beat Mr..
Roosevelt in the West. Therefore.
a man from that region must be
chosen to have any chance of
carrying it.
MIR. HOOVER mentioned no
A'A names to those with whom
he talked. Also, he kept his own
tight-lipped council regarding
himself.
But those with whom he con-
ferred came away with the def
mite impression that he was not
out of the picture as a candidate,
if for no other reason than his
fear (well founded that, if he
openly disavowed intention of
seeking the nomination, he would
lose all influence in the party
councils.
AS long as Mr.. Hoover is a posi-
BILE choice, he holds cudgel over
other aspirants and the party
leaders. Once he steps out of the
arena he is a shadow figure.
Mr.. Hoover'S dictum of a West
ern candidate Immediately raised
the question whether he was

conclusion of many G. o. P. poten-

Col. Knox recently made a pill

trip, a close friend of Mr.. Hoo

Loyal st. Louis citizens point to
a wealth of tradition in the back
ground of their municipal theater.
French founders of st. Louis sang
their way up the Mississippi to es-
tablish a trading post at a site
now occupied by a city of nearly
100000 population.
The first American Governor of
st. Louis following the Louisiana
purchase brought with him to the
city a band and orchestra.
In the early days of the city, it
became haven for German
refugees. Thus two great music
loving peoples-the French and
the German-played a major part
in the development of the city and
its cultural life.
NEARLY a century ago Rich
' ard Wagner conceived but
was unable to carry out a plan to
present his Nibelungen cycle of
music dramas on the bank of the
Mississippi before. in his words,
audiences of free men,"
Wagner'S plan was the inspira-
ton for the st. Louis Masque and
Pageant given in celebration of
the one hundred fiftieth ami
versary of the city'S founding.
This presentation was made with
a cast of $500, and on one occasion
drew an audience of 10000 per-
sons.
Following was a presentation of

be the site of the present munich

present structure.
During the World War, the
embryo theater was used for pa
triotic meetings. In 1919 the first
opera presentations were given on
the basis now in effect.
Such is the background of the
st. Louis Municipal Opera so far
as tradition is concerned.

the modern licensed airplanes
cannot be forced into spin and
the others will recover from a
spin OF their own accord when the
controls are released. Thus with
a modern airplane and an efficient
pilot you will have nothing to faer
Of a tailspin.
Another common belief is that
an airplane will dive Immediately
