Get off to a good start with
your summer figure ogram,
Take a diet tip from Eve and
go on the Fruit Regime for a day
or two. On this regime you should
lose three pounds of the soft,
flabby fat. Follow the fruit menus
for three consecutive days and
go on a thousand-calorie balanced
menu for the remainder Of the
first week.
After the first week, the re-
ducing menus must be adjusted
to the individuals requirements.
This calorie total will vary from
1000 to 1,400 per day, according
to build and activity.
During the first month Of your
program. you can lose eight to
10 pounds without having to fight
it off. During the first four
weeks the weight loss is greater
than at any other time. In the
second month, you will lose a
round half dozen pounds, and in
the third month you can lose
four sand there's 20
pounds gone.
Summer reducing Is made easy
because at this season, normally,
fuel foods are used less in the
diet. Cut down on all foods that
supply you with heat and pounds.
Fat. sugars and starches are all
heating foods and should be used
Sparingly in the hot months-and
at all other times, if you have
lost your figure.
The SHINING menus are in
season. Do you like peaches,
pears. plums, apricotS, pine
apple, melon. raspberries and
cherries? All these fruits are
low in calories and excellent in
the reducer's diet.
You may also use liberal guam
titles of tomatoes, cucumbers,
lscallions, lettuce. radisheS, celery,
and all the other salad ingre-
dents from the summer garden.
Even corn-on-the-cob and potato
salad are permissible in a low
calorie diet.
However. be sure to prepare
your potato salad with Reducer's

Too many stories have been writ
ten, concerning the origin, parent
age, and nationality Of grand
opera stars. 1t may come as some
thing of surprise to a great many
people to learn that I am Amert-
can born-Schenectady born, In
fact-and that I have never even
been to Italy. My parents were
from Naples, and my fathers bust
ness dealt in coal and wood. Al
though my father and mother
never had any theatrical ambi-
lions, both had beautiful voices
and sang in the church choir.
There were three children in the
family: Anthony, myself, and my
famous sister, Rosa. Very soon we
moved from Schenectady to
Meriden, Conn. While the family
was there I went to school at st.
Mary's Convent in New Haven
and, like all good girls Of Italian
descent, sang in the choir. 1t was
the logical thing to do.

same route I travelled with Ed
mund Stanley's company. In adj
dition to the roles I played in New
York, sang "Delilah" and Car
men," We had grand times.
In 1888 something happened
which crystallized a philosophy I
had always partially believed in.
I was attending convention of
the National Woman's Party
(being an ardent feminist) and
took odds with Mrs. Roosevelt
over criticism she expressed re-
garding the party platform. I said
that laws enacted specially to pro-
tect women in industry were what
kept them back, and Mrs. Roose-
welt said the reverse. At any rate,
the Washington papers raved.
Some claimed that I had been
guilty of bad breach Of manners,
others applauded my stand.
I use these rather reminiscent
tones because I have decided to
retire, come what may, in two
years. There are many things I
want to have the time to do. I
am not social person and I hate
butterflying and gadding about,
and, as I have said, I have been
working since I was Is. Besides
I have always believed that an
artist should avoid marriage. l
have stayed away from any person
who might have influenced me in
that direction. In two years, how
ever, will not.

Needs SchooIind

When I got there found Gatti-
Casazza waiting for me.
"YOu have a beautiful voice."
he said, "but it still needs a
good deal of study A good
DEAL" And he walked out with
out another word.
I did not hear from him for
three weeks. This time I did not
wait for phone call but went di-
rectly to the Met. Gatti hardly
looked at me, but asked me what
I could do. I did not understand,
so I told him nothing-nothing in
particular. Then he wanted to
know if I was familiar with roles.
I was familiar with the Princess
in "Aida," I said. With that he
reached in the drawer and handed
me a contract with the instruc-
tions to have that part ready by
the fall.

The World Of Music

The Philadelphia Summer Con-
certs Association received a most
gracious cablegram from the new
director of the Philadelphia SYM
phony Orchestra, Eugene Or.
mondy, which was read last night
at the outdoor concert at Robin
Hood Dell.
Mr.. Ormondy, who yesterday
conducted concert with the Lon
don Symphony Orchestra, q part
of which was heard via short wave
radio in this country, wished the
members of the Orchestra a most
successful summer season of con-
certs. Mr.. Ormondy will conduct
four concerts next season in
Washington with the Philadelphia
Symphony Orchestra.
Bidu Sayao, the lyric soprano
who was heard here last winter in
the title role of 'Lakme," has been
engaged along with Vina Bovy, by
the Metropolitan Opera Company
for the regular winter season.
Both singers have been heard in
opera in Europe and South Amer
lea. But Miss Sayao is better
known to North American audi
ences, having given a number of
concerts here, and was heard in the
Debussy program directed by Tos-
canini near the close Of the Phil
harmonic Symphony Orchestra

The Scene and Gypsy Song"
from "Capriccio Espagnol," (Rim-

scene" but is rather a series of
display passages, one of which is
shown above. The passionate
gypsy song which concludes the
movement, increases near the end
into a furious speed. The entire
suite "Capriccio Espagnol," will
be heard tonight on the program

would let me know. Three days
later I received another phone call
from the Metropolitan setting the

and I was so petrified I didn't
know which it would be. was

studded with shirtfronts. When

AGAIN THE COUNCIL
HELPS THE HOME OWNER

The action of FL Centro's city coun-
clmen in adopting revised water rate
schedules suggested by Water Commits
sioner J. p. Eyer is one which may have
more far reaching effects than appear at
first glance. The revision, as all changes
do, will meet with some objections Once
FL Centrans get used to the new rates,
however, it is to be expected that they
will find they have been given far more
consideration under the new schedule.
Especially will the new rates appeal to
those who own their own homes here,
and who intend as permanent residents
to make those homes as attractive as
possible
The council faced the task of revis-
ing rates without reducing income. Only
one logical course was open, and that
is the course taken in the new ordinance.
Minimum rates in the lower brackets
were raised that is, the minimum pay
ment was raised In fact, the rate per
gallon was reduced. 1t is true that all
small water users now must pay so
cents a month more than formerly, but
for that additional so cents they obtain
the right to 12,500 gallons more than
under the old 12,500 gallon minimum.
In other words. the minimum gallonage
has been doubled, while the minimum
price has been increased only slightly.
Most of US come under the small wa
ter user classification. This means that
most of us will be able in the future,
adequately to water our lawns, shrub
cry and trees without worrying about
exceeding the minimum charge. 1t is in
human nature also to make full use of
conveniences if We know We must pay
for them, anyway.
The new water rate schedule quite
evidently is a continuation of the an
nounced policy of the city council to
work for city Identification in every
way possible. Water, as necessary to
life in Imperial Valley as the air itself,
will be used more abundantly in ri
Centre hereafter, with resulting benefit
to homes and to the city as a whole.

State Department Watches Spain
War Threat Comes Closer Wire
Pulling ReUeGIed

WASHINGTON. - State Department folks
have been watching the Spanish revolution with
the conviction that it has brought the threat of
European war closer than in many years.
Not even the most critical days CT the Italo-
British tension in connection with Ethiopia were
considered as likely to be fateful as those in
which the wire-pullings precautions, and Sc
cret interventionS Of other nations in the Span
lSh warfare have been gradually and partially
revealed.
1t has been learned that the pre-Locarno
conference at London July % concerned itself
largely with the dangers raised by those COM
plicationS.
Officially. the State Department only knows
that the French charge Italian planes have
been carrying munitions TO the Spanish rebels
and that this is denied by Italy. Actually it is
aware of considerably more activity. on the part
of the Germans as we'll the Italians, than has
been publicly indicated
The British are secretly reported to have be-
tween 40 and so war vessels in Spanish waters
only few of which are needed for evacuation
of foreign citizens. To Britain its continued
domination of the Gibraltar straits is vitality
important and the thought of a new Spanish
government obligated to and influenced by Mus
Solini is worse than unpleasant.
In France the natural sympathieS of a left
wing majority for the Spanish workers as op-
posed to the inSurgent military FascistS
coupled with great aversion to finding France
bordercd by Fascist Spain. Fascist Italy and
Fascist Germany.
If the Spanish loyaliSts WIN ii IS believed in
Washington, 1t will be because MuSSClini has
been scared off from giving the rebels adequate
support. One reason there has been hope of
that rests in the departments confidential
knowledge that Italian troops are having far
more trouble in Ethiopia than the world knows
The radius OF pacfication around Adds Aba
ba extends only a few miles and 1t is figured
in the national capital that Italy probably is
unwilling TO face an open showdown on the
Spanish issue.
Nevertheless, the aspects of class warfare
involved have contributed greatly to uncertainty
in Washington as to the outcome
Pilgrims returning from Kansas report that
there's some chance Of a replica Of the Roosevelt
Al Smith feud developing in Republican ranks
1t is reported that eX-Gov. Clyde M. Reed
of Kansas may decide to declare for reelection
of Roosevelt against election of Gov. Aft
Landon.
Landon was manager of Reeds successful
campaign for governor in 1928, when Reed de-
feated John D. NJ. Hamilton-now Republican
national chairman-for governor. Landon sub
sequently handled distribution of state patron
age for Reed.
But Reed lost out when he ran for renomina-
tion in 1890 and a coolness developed between
the two men. Reed is generally considered the
outstanding progressive in Kansas politicS-his
friends even compare him to Senator George
Norris Of Nebraska.

THE NEED REMAINS
FOR ACCIDENT PROVISION

Recent death at Jacumba of an I'M
perial Valley young man, his life snuff
ed out in an automobile accident, again
raises the question of provision for
proper medical care to persons injured
in the mountain summer resort terri
tory. Plans recently considered for an
ambulance station at Jacumba, main
tanned jointly by both San Diego and
Imperial counties, seemingly have re-
mained dormant. Yet, any day, an oc-
casion may arise when lack of such facil-
tiles may cost the life of man or wom-
an.
At the present time there is no provi-
sion for medical care or emergency
treatment of accident victims in or near
Jacumba. The young man killed recent
ly was a case in point. His life could
not have been saved-he was killed in
stantly-but his body was left for an
unusually long time dangling in the
capsiZed automobile If he had been
severely injured but alive, the story
might have been the same-with tragic
ending. There was no one near with
knowledge or training, not to mention
equipment, with which to extricate him.
Because so many Imperial Valley peo-
pie go to Jacumba and adjacent places
in the summer, the problem is one Of
vital interest here. The solution is one
to be worked out by the officials of San
Diego or Imperial couny, or both. Ger
tain it is that the people of Imperial
county would not begrudge cooperation
in a plan to maintain emergency accident
equipment, including an ambulance, at
the mountain resort.
So far, fate has not decreed any tragic
event to make such action necessary
but the action should be taken before the
event transpires.
