OPERA BROADCASTS

1t is only five years since the first
regular grand opera performance was
broadcast, on Christmas Day, 1881, from
the Metropolitan Opera House in New
York. Since that time many hundreds of
thousands who have never personally wit
messed an opera have heard the greatest
singers of the world by radio.
During the winter season the Satur-
day matinee performances at the Metro
pOlitan may be heard over the National
Broadcasting Company's blue network.
While few persons care for grand
opera at first, the taste for it may be &C
CURED by nearly anyone who will try to
understand something about it. More and
more Americans are becoming familiar
with the best operate music. For several
years Walter Damrosch has done much to
educate the public, and especially school
children, through his radio music apprecia-
ton broadcasts.
During the winter the best symphony
orchestras of the country are also heard
from time to time, so that in future there
will be no need for anyone with radio to
be without good music. Of course, many
seem unable to enjoy anything of higher
type than jazz, hill-bilies, cowboys and
croOners, and for these there is no lack of
entertainment, such as it is.re4eq isa
But when one has cultivated a liking
for music in its higher forms "a slow pro-
cess for most of us--to hear the great
masterpieces is never ending delight.
Lovers of good music owe much to the
sponsors of opera and symphony orchestra
programs, which may be heard this sea-
son with greater frequency than ever be-
fore.

An odd new industry, developed last
summer, is reported from Hanover, N. H.,
where colonies of ants numbering about so
to each lot, and enclosed in glass cases,
are shipped to all parts of the country as
pets and for nature study. The idea was
originated by Frank E. Austin, former
instructor at Dartmouth, whose ants are
supplied from ant hills in the vicinity by
schoolboys who sell them to him by the
quart.

College Station, Raleigh, June %
good crop of flue-cured tobacco is

Tickle weather and variable grow

good stand, but where he got water
from a well, the stand is so poor that

However, Floyd continued, some
