New York, Aug. 6.-Randomusing
Conrad Thibault, the baritone, was
talking the other night about his re-
hearsal proslem-which he says is no
problem at all. Most singers have it,
particularly if they inhabit city apart
ments . Lawrence Tibbett had his
study soundproofed at great expense
to avoid the complaints of neighbors
who might delight in tuning him in
over the radio but would resent hear
ing his voice across the court. But
Thibault, who came to New York
from California not long ago, reveals
that the neighbors haven't acted up
the way he feared. They even tele-
phoned and appeared on his stQop
asking to be allowed to sit in on his
home vocalizing. :. So he has turned
his rehearsals into sOirees and the
neighbors come in droves, bringing
along favorite sheet music for him to
sing. He thus picks up fourteen or
fifteen new numbers week for his
repertoire and has never had to stuff
the cracks in the door with old news
papers to avoid disturbing the folks
next door. 49,.

20 Years Ago Today-Liberia de-

Herr Won Walden became new Ger
man food rationer. All kinds of food
stuffs had to be bought under the
card system, but only now the init
mate connection between the supply
of foods for humans and fodder for
stock was being recognized. This
tardy realization of the economic re-
lation between food and fodder almost
led to disaster. A few more months of
neglect and there would have been no
cows, no hogs, no horses.
German chemists had concocted hun
dreds of food substitutes that the pop
-ulace had accepted without too much
grumbling. But there was more out
spoken aversion for a new bread
substitute in which grain was mixed
with wood-meal taken from trees by
a process developed by Swedish re-
searcher. It was intended as a cattle
feed, but was also prescribed for hui
man use.
Wheat straws was also ground up
and mixed with flour in bread: Large
numbers of cases of digestive troubles
were attributed to it.

AUGUST 6 IN HISTORY


Historians have established August
6, 1434, as the exact date of the birth
of the waltz. The occasion was a
lively gaillard at a SUMMER festival in
Provence (France) where the dancers
became too warm for comfort. A
young Provencal suggested steps that
could be danced to a slower beat.
Tunes were improvised on the spot
from old dance numbers.
The waltz was popular from the
first day, but it remained a pleasant
pastime until the junior Johann
Straus' 1.-THE Beautiful Blue Danube
and other compositions in 3-4 time put
it in the ballroom.
Once the great Brahms inscribed the
opening bars of blue Danube" upon
Frau Straus' fan and added, Alas,
not by Brahms,"-a complaint which
could have been exceeded only by
Shakespeare having expressed sorrow
over not having written Ben John
sons 1.-THE Kiss"
Ben Johnson died three hundred
years ago today of paralysis. There
is a legend that Charles I promised
Johnson, who was so uncertain of his
immortality as to wish to be buried
in Westminster Abbey, that he could
pick out his own grave in the Abbey.
After Ben's death, it was found the
niche was partly occupied, and Ben
had to be buried standing up, beneath

Contemporaries rated Johnson a great

What You Should DO, Now

Therefore, the decline in commodity
prices from the March peak seems to
have pretty well run its course. In
flationary factors and increased for
eign trade should not be forgotten.
Hence, readers should act now to pro-
tect themselves. Householders should
purchase furniture, clothing, canned
goods, and fuel contracts now. Ten
ants should renew leases for as long
period as possible at current rentals.
Remember that we are now just emit
ering a period of prosperity the dura-
ton of which depends upon how much
we learned from the recent depression
Continuing prosperity can exist only
on a foundation of righteousness. :,

AIR LINERS

WASHINGTON, Dec. 2 CUP) -
The United States is leading the
way in rapid recovery of world
trade. according to a survey just
completed by the Department of
Agriculture.
The survey prepared by depart
ment economist r. B. Schwenger
disclosed an abrupt rise in the
quantity of world trade during the
first half of 1887"
An index prepared by depart
ment economists showed world
trade during the second quarter of
this year equal to that of 1929
The index for the last quarter of
1896 was at 81 per cent of 1929.
Raw Imports Important
A detailed analysis shows an
important part of the increase has
been due to United States imports
of wide variety of commodities,
especially of such raw materials
as rubber and wool" Schwenger
said.
World trade had Jagged far be-
hind world industrial production
since 1882, the economist said due
to the increase in trade barriers
during the depression. He sug-
gested these barriers must be re-
laxed or removed before complete
recovery can take place.
In recent months, due to partial
relaxation of trade barriers, world
trade has been increasing much
more rapidly than world industrial
production. If the rise continues.
Schwenger said. the two indices
may be expected to be at the same
level before the end of tn year.
Armament Spurs Trade
Explaining the complex causes"
of increased world trade, Schwen-
ger pointed to increased activity
connected with rearmament in a
number of important countries,
the relaxation of krade barriers
and the rise in export prices.
Less than half of the increased
trade may be attributed to re-
armameYt programs. he Sadd.
Japan, Germany, Italy and Great
Britain. where rearmanscnt re-
quirements were major factor in
international trade. accounted for
only 80 per cent Of the increased
world trade between the last half
of 1896 and the first half of this
year, Schwenger said.
France, Switzerland and Czecho-
slovakia accounted for an addi-
tional 10 per cent Of the increase
The remainder was due to in
creased imports by Canada, United
