STATESETS new
SCHOOL BUS Law
Under New Law All Drivers
Must Halt When School Bus
Loads or Unloads.

The vast majority of Minnesota's
594, 900 school children and high school
students will be crossing the road to-
day-on country trails, broad highways
and city streets, returning to school.
The extraordinary danger of traffic
accidents that turks in this annual
event, coupled with the fact that this
Is the first full week of the statewide
Color Safety campaign, prompted
Estate Highway Commissioner M. j.
Hoffman, to appeal to motorists to
watch out for the children, "and w. F.
Rosenwald, safety director of the high
way department, to issue a warning to
all motorists and school bus operators
of the new school bus law which will be
in effect today.
Under the new law, adopted by the
last legislature, all drivers of motor
vehicles, whether meeting Or overtaking
a school bus which is halted to load or
unload passengers, must come to COM
plete stop and wait until the loading
or unloading is completed. This law is
effective on all highways outside of
business or residential districts.
On the other hand, for the guidance
and protection of motorists, so that they
may distinguish whether halted school
bus has stopped to pick up or discharge
passengers or for some other purpose,
the department of highways and the
department of education have collab-
Grated in working out a new stop order
signal arm.
The law requires the driver of any
school bus to swing the stop signal arm
to an extended position when his bus
has stopped for the purpose of receiv-
ing or diScharging pupils, and to hold
it in that position until all pupils have
crossed the road safely or entered the
bus.
When pupils are required to cross the
highway, they must do so under super
vision of the driver. They may he
either personally conducted across by
him, or may pass around in front of the
bus and be conducted across by the
school bus patrol, or may cross upon
command of the driver, who shall first

approaching.
School bus drivers are prohibited from
using the stop order signal arm when
halted for any other purpose and are
required, when stopped for any pur-
pose whatsoever, to halt the bus as far
to the right side of the highway as is
reasonably safe.
''This act" Mr.. Rosenwald said
seriously affects every driver on our
highways and he should become
thoroughly familiar with its provisions
and requirements, not only for the pro-
lection of the school pupils involved
but for his own protection as we'll"
Commissioner Hoffman, directed his
appeal especially to the motorist travel
ing on the states trunk highways
where traffic normally moves at higher
speeds and where drivers are less likely
than are those travelling more populous
areas and city streets, to be alert for
children emerging from driveways and
farm homes, or walking or playing
along highways in the vicinity of rural
schools.

LAWS MAKE COSMETICS
SAFER FOR CONSUMER.

Because government legislation is now
making it possible for homemakers to
have authentic descriptions of the mer-
chandise for which they spend money,
fabrics and clothes are bedecked with
tags saying "color-fast," "pre-Shrunk"
or some other such guarantee. Now
cosmetics come under government
jurisdiction.
To make cosmetics safe for the con-
sumner, new food, drug and cosmetic
law became effective recently bringing
them under the control of the Food and
Drug administration. Now government
chemists are making studies of the
contents of cosmetics-approving or
prohibiting their sale. The American
Home Economics association is one of
the organizations which has supported
this new law.-Helen Larmore, clothing
specialist, University Farm.

Noted Singers Give
Opera Series Here

Nine. Redell received her serious
musical training in Vienna and

at what was formerly the Royal
Opera House of Altenburg, Ger
many. Her success was so great that
Fora del Destino," which had not
been in the repertoire of German
opera houses for 80 years, was re-
vived for her benefit. More i'm
portant opera houses called for
her services - Barmen Elberfeld,
Schwerin, Bremen, Leipzig. Con-
cert tours followed her success in
opera and extended as far as South
Africa. Her first appearance as

Four Numbers Give
Her Prominence
On Program

Eugene Ormandy, conductor of the
Philadelphia Symphony Orchestra,
has selected a Beethoven-Wagner
program that will present Kristen
Flagstad, the great Norwegian, So
prano, as soloist in four numbers at
Constitution Hall on Tuesday eve
ming.
The third concert of the WASH
ington season of the Philadelphia
Orchestra will open with Beethoven's
"Egmont" overture. composed for
Goethe's play by the same name.
The Seventh Symphony" some
times referred to as the Dance
Symphony" with its powerful bac-
chanalian fourth movement, will
follow the overture.
Nine. Flagstad's first number will
be Beethoven's "Ah! Perfido!"
which has been described on the first
program it was heard as "An Ital-
ian scene composed for Nine. Dus-
chek by Beethoven"
Following the interrnission, the
orchestra will present the overture
TO 'Dle MelSterSlnger, by wagner.
Contrary to the usual practice, Wag-
ner wrote the overture with the chief
thematic material of the opera be-
fore he composed the main part of
the opera.
Kristen Flagstad's Wagnerian Sc
lections will be "Elsa's Dream" from
"Lohengrin" Thou Art the Spring
from die Walkure." and the Love
Death" music from Tristan and
Isolde" In this latter number the
prelude to the opera is coupled with
the closing music of the third act 1t
is interesting to note that Nine.
Flagstaff learned the role Of Elsa of
her own volition and for her own
amusement at the age of 10: and
ever since that time her greatest
successes have been in Wagnerian
roles.

In 1907 he made his debut with
the Vienna Tonkunstler Orchestra
and followed it with several highly
successful seasons of concertizing in
Europe. Already established in the
world of music as one of the great
est pianists America had produced,
he made his debut in this country at
Richmond.
This season Mr.. Powell is cele-
brating his 25th year on the Amer
lean concert stage. A special con-
cert in Carnegie Hall, New York,
was given last November to observe
the event and following it the Met
ropolitan critics hailed the perennial
freshness and vitality of Mr.. Powell's
art. In recent years, in addition to
concertizing, Mr.. Powell has con-
tinued his work as a composer, show
ing special interest in American
folk music.
The Kalinnikov symphony, which
has not been played by the National
Symphony since 1882, is probably the
best known work of the remarkable
Russian composer, whose career was
unfortunately cut short by his death
in 1901 at the age of 35.
Basil Sergeievich Kalinnikov, who
was born in 1866, received his mu-
sical education at the Moscow Phil
harmonic School under Iljinsky and
Blaramberg, from 1884 to 1892. The
following year he was appointed di-
rector Of the Italian Opera at
Moscow.

There is not often an opportunity
presented to really realize what
individual talent there is in this
country. This month the Columbia
Phonograph Co. has released a re-
cording of Deems Taylor, Through
the Looking Glass" Mr.. Taylor's
many activities, in all of which he
excells, almost make for secondary
placing as a composer. He is one
of our greatest. however; full of keen
humor, of delightful fantasy, of deep
feeling and profound knowledge.
Not many composers can leave
their listeners full of that glad
expansive feeling that comes from
thoroughly enjoying themselves. Not
many have understood how to put
humor in music and still make it
great music. Deems Taylor does,
and besides being able to win un-
stinted acclaim for such great works
as his operas The Kings Hench-
man" and Peter Ibbetson" has
futher enlarged his fame with such
a delightful work as the Through

Mr. LIE Roy, who plays George
Washingtons favorite instrument,
began the study of the flute when
years old. He already played piano
and violin, but his father played
the flute as an amateur, and from
the start this instrument fasci-
mated the boy. He gave his father
no peace until he had taught him
how to use it himself. He proved
gifted at this instrument and is
now internationally noted as an
outstanding virtuoso. He has been
invited to be first flutist for sew

tions, but refused all offers. He will

that Pons had Cancelled all singing
engagements for an indefinite period
and would go to Florida later on for

Mrs. Dorsey's decision to cancel

Dorsey at the same time that the

whether bought singly or as part of
a series, would be refunded at Mrs.
