as result of the police safety

Times at noon today disclosed
that the speed laws are still being
violated on the principal thorough
fares of the District, in some cases

travelling 80 miles an hour. AS
it crossed the Taft Bridge it
picked up to 40 miles an hour.

In the downtown section, The
Times investigator found that
traffic was moving at an average

This was found to be the case

Throughout the half-hour drive
which The Times investigator
took on these streets, he failed
to observe a policeman on motor

Major Brown today issued his
second daily order during the

Pat OBrien as Al McGilevray is a

Jan King (Melton). just as he CAD
is about to commit suicide.
He takes the porter under his
wing and almost starves to pay for
Kings lessons with a prominent
singing teacher. When he finds
that, talented as his protege is, it
will be five years before he can sing
at the Metropolitan, he launches
him on a grooming career.

the money he has saved to JAMS old

Jan works hard, comes back to

at the Met, while Al wins Nora and
becomes JAMS manager again.
Melton is a handsome gentleman
whose voice sounds as we'll on the
screen as on the air. His dramatic
performance is somewhat marred by
a speaking voice that is high

these, Melton sings celeste Aida

for Monday, Tuesday.

The local season of light opera re-
vivals is to continue with presenta-
ton of Sigmund Romberg's Bios

This work is based on an episode
in the life of Franz Schubert which,
if not authentic. is at least an &C
curate picture of the Bohemian life
of the composer and his friends.
Practically ali of the music of the
show is based on Schubert's songs.
The story is laid in Vienna in the
early 1905. While dining at an
outof door restaurant in the Prater
Park. Schubert and his friend meet
the three pretty daughters of old
Kranz, the court jeweler.
Schubert falls in love with Mitzi

Aida Sung

Principals Give Capital Per-
Torrance OF Verdi
Masterpiece.
BY JAMES THR.ASHER

The San Carlo Opera Company. a
reality that grew out of the cours-
oeous dream of Fortune Gallo. came
to EngliSh'S last night in its tour Of
the hinterlands, and gave us a capt.
tai performance of Verdi'S Aida
Without a permanent home, the
company suffers more than the or
binary trials of a road show:
naturally, costumes and SETS and
lighting are far below the level OF
Metropolitan performance.
Nine. Saroya brought to the part
of Aida a physical as we'll as vocal
beauty, and a dramatic portrayal
of great sincerity Her voice was
somewhat "breathy" at first, but
gained in power and clarity as the
work progressed.
The Rhadames of Mr.. Lindi was
vocally thrilling, and to that he APP
parently devoted his attention.
His acting. however. was stiff and
unconvincing and this reviewers at
tention was too often distracted by
probably the most unbecoming cos
tunes that ever adorned a Rna-
danes
The performances of Miss AYES.
Mr.. Thomas and Mr.. Kravitt were
outstanding. ThomaS'S AmonaSro
provided the evenings most satisfy
ing singing. One could scarcely
hope to hear it done better.
Miss AYES, gifted and accom-
plished singer, was in excellent voice
and capably mirrored the love, sim
lister jealousy and final conflict be-
tween rage and remorse that belong
to the character of Amneris.

BY EDWARD w. BEATTIE
United Press Staff Correspondent

Adds ABABA, Sept. 14.-Ethio-
plan troops selected to meet the
first Italian attack were moving
into position today within striking
distance of the frontiers.
Fortifications and entertainments
were being constructed at points
where a prolonged stand against
attackers armed with modern mill
tary equipment was felt to be feas-
ible.
AS troops moved toward the
front" it was pointed out in the
capital that yesterdays prepara-
ton for a general mobilization order
does not represent warlike ges
ture on the part of Halle SelaSsie's
kingdom. 1t is simply a final step
toward putting the nation on the
best military basis possible by max
ing available the service of every
man capable of aiding in the ma
tional defense, and it will not be is
sued until necessary.
Preparations of the order caps
six months of gradual preparation
which has been pushed as far as
possible in the face of foreign en-
bargoeS and local limitations in the
matter of supplies and training.
Supplies of ammunition and food
are being distributed as widely as
possible. This is necessary in order
to keep feudal levies intact,
Men to be enrolled in the nation
al defense forces in case the general
mobilization order comes into ef-
feet will act largely in support of
the troops now under arms. They
will be supplied with every con-
ceivable type of weapon. They will
be rather loosely organized and will
have the benefit of only few weeks
of sparetime training. But they will
be willing to fight-with spears, If
when their guns and am
are gone.
