modifies' this into seIf-reliance,
which, with the originality of

not returned from distant ports

Delay for Inquiry

URBANA, III, Oct. % (C!TP.s).
Following a thorough inveStiga-
ton, two students have been dis
missed from the University Of Illi-
nois by the disciplinary commit
tee Of the university senate.
The two students, whose names
were not made known by univer.
sity authorities were among five
students who were arrested during
a raid on an alleged diSorderly
house in Champaign's so-called
"red-light" district 10 days ago.
THREE CASES DELAYED
Just what action will be taken
against the three other students
was not known, their cases being
deferred to q later date to enable
the senate committee to conduct
further investigation into their
cases.
Last week DR.. Arthur c. willard,
president Of the University issued
a warning.
WARNING TO STUDENTS
During a conference with city
officials Of Champaign and Or.
bana and representatives Of the
Champaign County Sheriff's office
willard declared that all students
arrested in houses Of prostitution
would be summarily expelled from
school.
He emphasized that disciplinary
action under this regulation would
not be mitigated because Of evi
dence that students caught were
merely visiting the establishments
through idle curiosity.

TAXED" BIRTH
is CONFIRMED
BY HEAD NURSE.
Boys Neither Brothers
Nor Twins, Story Bares

PITTSBURGH, Pa, Oct. %.
Mrs. Elva May BurrmaSter Bates
Tortorice's confession that she
faxed" the birth of twin boys in
1929 was confirmed by the super
intendent Of nurses at the sub
urban maternity hospital where
the hoax took place.
Said Superintendent Mary Bush:
Those children were not born
here"
She. refused to say more.
WEEK IN HOSPITAL
But she would not deny that
Mrs. Tortorice had spent one
week in the hospital at the time
the "twinS," now 7, were born"
to her.
Her weird story received further
confirmation from Philadelphia,
where q former official Of the
Vail Hospital was admitting that
Mrs, Tortorice had adopted the
boys when they were only a few
days old. And in Pittsburgh, her
attorney said he would submit
affidavits in court, signed by the
real mothers Of, the boys, who are
neither twins nor brothers.
The hoax story broke suddenly
here yesterday when Mrs. Torto-
rice revealed her secret in an
effort to block her former hus-
bands tenth attempt to win Gus
tody Of the boys, James William
and Francis Herbert.
TO FOOL SISTERS
She and her former husband,
William Bates, staged the birth"
because Bates three maiden sis
ters, whom he supported, would
have nagged him for spending
money on children that were not
his own, she said. Mrs. Tortorice,
a blonde beauty operator. was un-
able to bear children.
The strange case will be heard
in Common Pleas Court next week.
Mrs. Tortorice, living with her
third husband, tried in vain to
keep the secret from the boys
who look nothing alike-but
someone told them about it. They
still believe, however, that they
are twins.

Ell Work F or
Uncle Sam"
By Alma Sioux Scarberry
PGpGLGrdO Develops
Voices of u. S.
Employees

If you are a Government
worker with a voice, you should
meet Maestro Arturo Papalardo
and join the Schola Cantorum
Of the Department Of the In
terror.
The maestro is preparing
Verdi'S Requiem, at present, to
be given with singers from the
National Capital Parks Service.
It will be presented in May or
June with Metropolitan Opera
stars and musicians as princi-
pals. This is a really great op-
portunity for governmental mu-
sic lovers, since Papalardo gives
his services gratis.
WHY HE DOES IT
Asked why he had taken upon
himself this gigantic task Of
training these voices for special
concerts and radio work, the
maestro said seriously:
There are so many Of them
who love music, but have never
had the opportunity to learn
music appreciation or train
their voices. 1t is pleasure
for me to give it to them, since
they are so much in earnest.
Recently I discovered what I be-
lieve to be a truly great voice.
The girl Is the 16-year-old
daughter Of a Government
worker.
"She is too young to be an.
nounced at present. But I be-
lieve I'll give to the world some
Of these days a great prima
donna. That is what makes it
worth my while. One never
knows in a group so large what
one may find. It is like search
ing for q precious jewel among
a large collection Of synthetic
stones"
BORN IN ITALY
Papalardo was born in Milano,
Italy. But he came to America
Is years ago, and is an Ameri-
can citizen. He is a graduate
Of the MiIano Conservatory. It
was while on a visit to his
mother in this country that Mil
ton Aborn became interested in
him and he became a director
Of the Aborn Opera Company.
Lucrezia Bori is one of Macs
tro Papalardo'S most celebrated
pupils. He was her teacher
and coach for years. He was
at one time head Of the opera
department Of the Peabody Cop
servatory of Music, Baltimore,
and coach Of the Metropolitan
Opera FQuartette with Frances
Aida, Marie Sundelius, Rafaelo
DieZ and Alfredo Martino.
ONE REGRET
Papalardo has one great re-
gret-that so many of his Gov
ernment pupils with good voices
have no places to practice. An
auditorium has been provided
for group practice. But there
is no place where his private
students can hide away and
yodel to their hearts content.
1T would be wonderful"
Papalardo said wistfully, IF
some one would do something
about this. Pupils are reticent
about vocalizing and bothering
others in boarding houses and
places of the sort. If someone
would only provide a special
place for them to go it would be
a really worthwhile undertaking.
Should young voices be denied
the chance to express them
selves because there is no place
for them to experiment."
ALL ELIGIBLE
Asked just who was eligible
to get in on all this musical
business. Papalardo smiled:
