OPERA GUILD SINGERS
PRESENTED LAST NIGHT
Several Performers Stand Out In
Group Under Direction Of
Mime. Correa.
BY ALICE EvERSMAN.

BY ALICE EvERSMAN.
The first performance by the Wash
ington Opera Guild took place last
evening at the Wardman Park Theater.
The guild was founded by Nine. Gurle
Correa, who has been assisted by Anna
Belts Smith at the piano. accompanist
also for last evenings presentation.
From the insxperience In opera
technique shown by the singers last
evening such an attempt as Nine. Cor
rea is making proves the necessity OF q
greater knowledge Of opera among the
young musicians. However, 1t seemed
a little premature to present these nov
icees in q public performance. Also
much Of the talent was not the oper-
attic kind and much better suited to
song study. The voices lacked the
strength, evenness and color for opera,
while the acting was neither free nor
traditional.
The program took in the principal
scenes Of the most popular operas;
several combined to give ample op-
portunity to the singers. The soprano
aria and duet from NINE. Butterfly"
the aria of the Mechanical Doll" and
the "Barcarolle" from the ''Tales Of
Hoffman" the first-act aria, the duet
between Aida and Amneris, and the
final scene Of Amneris from aida,
the "Titania" aria from "Mignon,
scenes from II Trovatore," "Rigoletto"
and Martha" completed the program.
Among the singers, Evangeline Tully
and Josephine Soukup in Aida" and
Dorothy Davenport in "Mignon" scored
the greatest success. Others on the
program were Cecilia Rosen, Eva Pol
lack, Monsita Correa, Myra Marshall.
Marie Allen, Oba Jan Gibson, Ida
Bronson and Marie Chaput.

rapid-f1re love-making in country
which is known more for its ice than
its love, Is what gives "Petticoat Fever"
Its impetus. Not by any means an
important play, it nevertheless skips
along at lively pace, fluctuating be-
tween broad comedy and farce, and
presenting couple of situations which
you have probably never seen before.
The National Players undertake
these situations with a ready wit.
Foremost among them this week is,
of course, Roy Roberts, who as the
ebulient Mr.. Dinsmore bounces around
that lands him eventually exactly
where he wants to be landed. An
eager, impetuous sort of an actor, Mr.
Roberts knows what he is doing and
plays the role for all it is worth
last night, probably for little more
than it is worth.
Nancy Sheridan is Ethel Campion,
the lady who Is stranded off there in
lonely Labrador with her sportsman
like flance, Sir James Fenton (Ray-
mond Bramley), and Forrest Orr Is
the Rev. Arthur Shapham, who comes
into the picture for an inning or two.
It was difficult to fathom the COM
plete talents of the company's new
corners, Edwina Wise, Warren Parker
and Eleanor Campsall, last night.
Miss Wise hid her looks under a
bonnet as Little Seal" and Mr.
Parker was all wrapped up in the
Mals costume of a far-northerner.
Nevertheless, their initial efforts in
dicated that good things are to come,
and in spite of the fact that you
would never recognize them again
if you saw them, their DISCUSSES failed
to quash their obviously flrst-rate
abilities.
OF the others, we liked Ruth Lee
best.
MENTION of the National Players
brings to mind a vivacious note
that comes this morning from the
Newspaper Women's Club-as also
from some one who signs herself with
o sprightly Kay Bee" Miss Kay Bee
informs us that on Thursday of this
week at 4 in the afternoon members
of the National Players will be enter
tained by the Newspaper Women,s
Cuban honor which so far as we
know has never been accorded them
before.
Invitations are not going out by the
fistful, but if you want to get a look
at these talented people, you might
ask Kay Bee"-a name synonymous
with Spring, flowers, asparagus and
other good things. Her address is
unknown.
MEMBERS of the Variety Club and
- their friends and relations are
all looking little sad this morning
every one except Mr.. A. Ney of
the Woodley Park Towers. Mr.. Ney
Is smiling because he won that auto
mobile yesterday which every one in
town was anxious also to own. Now
that the excitement is over, we shall
miss that daily bantering from every
one who bought ticket-a bantering
that invariably began with, well, If
win that automobile, I'll give you
the first ride" Better even than that
was the blond lady with the generous
disposition, who said: "I'll give you one

to give her the car, but Mrs. B., being

bank bill is based on the notion
that business can be controlled by
doing things to bank credit.
1t is my carefully considered
judgment that no sound, wise, or
expedient expansion of credit, does
or can CAUSE an expansion in
business.
am certain that the only way
in which credit expansion can
cause any expansion in business
is through fear. But real business
cannot be built upon fear.
Any rise in prices and expan.
sion of business which is the result
of credit expansion, is abnormal
and speculative, and is bound to
collapse.
BY fear" I do not mean, neces-
sarily, condition of terror and
panic. I mean distrust of cur
rency, and a feeling that currency
will probably decline in purchasing
power. l mean the recognition
that dollars will probably be worth
less next year than they are worth
today.
This sort of fear works as
follows: You have some money,
which you would ordinarily save
or invest. But now you fear that
if you do this, your savings will
decline in purchasing power, and
both your principal and interest
will lose a part of their value.
You therefore conclude that
there is no use in holding money,
or in saving and waiting. So you
proceed to spend. Maybe you
speculate. You can't invest, for
investment is based upon certainty
of the value of invested money
and interestD
Thus, if credit be expanded
to the point where fear arises
as to the value of credit
currency-bank deposits and
nOtes-it may cause fear spend
ing and fear speculation. 1t
may cause people to get out
of money and into commodities
and stocks. But this is not
business. 1t is not the basis
for sustained rise in prices.
1t is speculation.
1t is not true that, in the
past, business and prices have
followed expansion of credit.
The rule has been the opposite.
Credit expansion has followed
business.
Good credit cannot be the
CAUSE of business. 1t must be
based upon business, and there
fore follow business.
Here is the way it works:
Business expansion depends upon
profit opportunities, arising out
of production.
Profit opportunities; in turn.
depend upon demand and supply
conditions.
Demand" depends upon Cd
unsatiSfied desires of consumers,
and upon CD the ability of con-
sumers to earn incomes by pro-
ductive activities.
Supply" depends upon Cd the
desire of producers to produce and
sell. and upon CD their ability
to produce and sell at costs which
are less than selling prices.
When demand and supply con-
ditions are right, business ex.
pands, because business men de-
sire to make profits, and are able
to do so.
Credit can merely help this
process. And it can do so only
when and where prospective pro-
ducers are enabled by credits
Ooans) to secure the means of
production in anticipation of SELL
ing products at a profit.
Credit expansion that is not
based upon business conditions,
is bad credit. It can cause fear
and speculation. In other words,
it can cause fear initiation. But

NOTES ON RELAXATION

@NO ASt1 N<AN
 In 1929 Dr. Edmund Jacobson Of the Physiological Laboratory, University of Chicago, gave to the profession the results of twenty years of study of neuromuscular tension and relaxation, in a volume issued from the University of Chi cago Press, entitled Progressive Relaxation" On occasion l hav ve recommended this book, though al- ways with feeling that perhaps the reader would wonder, as l did on first reading, what 1t was all about. But I believed Dr. Jacobson had hold of an important thera- peutic principle, a valuable reme dial measure which had not been adequately developed in practice, and with each new rassle with the provoking work found more and more meat in 1t.
 Cluttering up this domicile of dawdle is a good vanload of books mostly medical. l keep them, not because the bindings look beautiful on the shelves, but because every time I took at them I am freshly reminded what a sucker 1 have always been for medical b % k s and what suckers most doctors are.

PARIS STYLES,
By MARY KNIGHT

Paris (UP)-Nina Ricci makes an evening grown called "Carioca" in violine with large red dots, the size of 8 quarter, printed all over 1t. The skirt is about five yards around the hem with not the least effect of fullness anywhere around the waist or hips. The material just seems to grow from nowhere until it attains the desired width at the hem.
 Another novel feature of the dress Is that the skirt is cut so that single row of dots forms itself evenly all around the vast hem like a border. The sleeves are short and puffed, and there are wide ruffles over the shoulders. The decolletage is modest and w. shaped in front and to the nape of the neck in back.
 For Madame Jacques Bouilloux- Lafont, Edmond Courtot has made summer frock in silk chiffon printed with red flowers and trim med with cire satin in the same bright color. The skirt is dia- phanous and the corsage is draped gracefully from shoulders to waist. The flowers are bright red peoples with fragile green stems, and the sash ties in a soft, loose bow with short ends at the left side of the waist. There Is leghorn hat to accompany, trimmed with peoples

Sister MaryS Kitchen
BY MARY E. DAGUE NEA Service Stan Writer

Here's good news for everybody except maybe the woman who's enjoyed years of prestige as hav- ing won all the ribbons year after year at the county fair for her cakes. For her it may be a blow to hear that anybody who will use a reliable recipe and follow it im- plicitly can make q good cake in these scientific days.
 Mind you, that is not to say that some women aren't wizards with cakes. They are. Those are the ones who make superlative cakes. I'm talking about GOOD cakes.
 Old Recipie Inaccurate If you've ever gone through old recipes you can appreciate the convenience of today's standard measurements. Tea cups, coffee cups, pinchcs, butter the size of an egg, the size of walnut, hand fuls and even bowl-fuls were the measures used by our grandmoth- CTS. That's w<y years of experience were needed before one became a good cook. Aside from the vagueness of the measurements the method of mixing was never explained and the oven was left entirely to the notio nof the cook No wonder "good cakes were born, rot made" in those days of inaccuracies.
 If you want to make the fol lowing cake in three layers. dou- ble the recipe and use 10-inch rather than 9-inch pans. The frosting will have to be doubled too.
 Two Layer Cake
 Two cups sifted cake flour, 2 teaspoons baking powder, 1-2 tea spoon salt, 23 cup butter or other shortening, l cup sugar, 5 eggs, Ia cup milk, teaspoon vanilla.
 Sift flour once, measure, add baking powder and salt and sift three times. Cream butter thor oughly, add sugar gradually and cream together until light and fluffy. Add eggs, unbeaten, one at time, beating thoroughly aft CT each. Add flour, alternately with milk, small amount at Q time, beating well after each ad- dition. Add vanilla. Turn into two oiled and foured nine-inch layer pans and bake twenty-five to thirty minutes in a moderate oven (375 degrees ED. Spread chocolate frosting between layers and on top and sides of cake.

 Now I begin to get the idea, on reading this book which Dr. Jacob- son got out for the simple lay- man. I hope the popularity of the little volume will inspire h m to have another go at 1t and this tiinc try to talk down to us ordinary doctors, too.

But then, you neurotics know what a crude, ig- norant, sarcastic one am about nervous imposition, 50 we need not dwell longer on that. Suffice that 1t Is not so plausible as the bunk merchants make it sound, to lift oneself with one's own bootstraps. It is physically impossible to be nervous in any part of your body If in that part you are completely relaxed, observes Dr. Jacobson, and he undertakes to teach prog ressive relaxation in this excellent little book, as a direct and specific treatment for what is frequently called nervousness" In short "nervousness' or nerve tension is excessive muscular contrac- ton or muscular rigidity, according to Dr. Jacobson's view, and whether this is thew hole story or not, it will pays uchi individuals to learn how to economize ii, | their useless muscle work.
