 Members of the expedition called on President w. O'Nell, of the Gen. erAl Tire and Rubber Company, and discussed with him the progress Of the project which will pass through IS countries and will cost between &20o,ooo,Ooo and $S00.- 000,0OO.
 ''Muy modernol" was the admir- ing comment of Commander Leon- idaS BorgeS de Oliveira, leader of the expedition after he and his colm- panions had completed . trip of inc spection through the General Tire factory and had watched tires bee ing built.
 It was nine years ago that the ex- petition set out from Rio de Janeiro and the only contact the members have had with their home country since 1928 was Q telephone conver- sation from Chicago, three months ago, with the editor of @ daily news paper in Rio.
 In their travels through l6 coun- tries, they have been received by IA presidents and expect to have an audience with President Roosevelt at Washington. They have prepared 34 maps and charts of the proposed route of the pan.American High way and, at Washington, expect to offer 6 complete set of their maps and other information to the Pan- American Union.
 About 10000 miles of the 18,l82 miles on the proposed highway are now open to motor trafflc and, from assurances of cooperation by the various countries traversed, 1t Is ex- pected that the route will be opened south to Honduras within two years and that tre entire proect will be completed in six years.

OLDEST CHORUS
 @ GIRL IN WORLD
Mrs. Maria Savage Made Her Debut Fifty Years
 Ago Today
By HARRY FERGUSON

United Press Staff Correspondent
 New York, Nov. 4.-(UP)-She Is the oldest chorus girl in the world 73-and today she was up and about early in her gas-lit house, for she is celebrating the 60th anniversary of her debut and there Is a long wins ter of singing ard acting ahead.
 The name Is Mrs. Maria Savage and almost anybody at the Metro politan Opera House can tell you all about her; can tell you how the great Jean De Reszke once cried on her shoulder at Covent Garden in Lon- don and how Enrico Caruso thought so much of her that he gave her a gold medallion which still hangs from her neck.
 Proud of Her Calling
 She is a chorus girl and proud of 1t. she says, but not the kind of chorus girl who kicks shapely leg at the bald-headed row. Mrs. Savage is an opera chorus girl whose voice is never heard, .:l an aria; she is al- ways in the background while Flag stad and Pons and Lehman take the bows and the glory.
 The years have grayed her hair and she is not as agile as she once was. but today she offered this for mula for all persons who want to cheat the years and stay young even when they grow old:
 Look for something funny every day"
 Mrs. Savage says that sometimes nothing is funny.
 Hike when I come home from performance" she added, "and I know in my heart that it has not been 8 good performance. Then I kick the people sitting next to me on the subway and pretty soon I have kicked so many that feel bet ter. But if 1t has been a good per- formance-and I mean the whole opera. not my own singing-then l am walking on the clouds"
 Memories Come Back Memories? Sure, lots of them. Like the time the chorus people at the Metropolitan first heard Kristen Flagstad's voice.
 We were punching the time clock on our way out after @ rehearsal" :" Mrs. Savage said. "and somebody said, ssh, ssh, the new singerl' We heard just Q little bit of Flagstad's voice and we forgot about going home and wsnt back to listen. And the time Lily Pons made her debut, sine was 50 nice that pretty soon we began to cry and our paint was nll stFeaked. I do not know why except that her voice was s0 clear and she was so young and charming"
 At the Metropolitan she Is Moth. CT Savage" and on the wall Of her living room hangs 6 photograph of Lawrence Tibbett inscribed: ITO Mother Savage. with affectionate re. niembrance of ten years Of ass0cia. ton with her" Beside it are auto- gFaphed pictures of Farrar, Melba, Caruso. Bori and all the great ones. Mrs. Savage thinks she may have

tions. This leads naturally into a discussion of the importance to in- dustry of the setting up of financial machinery and credits which will lead to the untranmelled use of goods, yet limit the purchasing of goods by wage-earners to safe and sane standards.
 "The speakers along with other thinkers in the fields of economies or social science, recognize the need for easily available credit for wage earners. Many well-known econom- ists and social scientists believe that 1t Is the duty of industry to aid and foster agencies which tend to hold consumer credit and financing with in reasonable bounds and safe cham nels. Money, these experts believe, Is not the only avenue of inflation. It Is perfectly possible under our present economic conditions for consumer credit and financing with in reasonable bounds and safe cham nels. Money, these experts believe, Is not the only avenue of imitation. It is perfectly possible under our present economic conditions for con- suIner financing and consumer cred- It's to get beyond control and lead to the accumulation of Indebtedness on the part of the wage-earner which will tend toward insolvency.
