Met Stars
Score at
Recital
BY WILLIAM NEWMAN

Kathryn Meisle, contralto, and
Richard Crooks, tenor, both Of the
Metropolitan Opera, gave a recital
last night in Constitution Hall
and their admirers bought every
seat.
Miss Meisle came to her dis
tinguished position in the musical
life Of her native land by winning
one of the first contests sponsored
by the National Federation of
Music Clubs. BY this route she
reached the stage Of the Chicago
Civic Opera, whence she was
drafted to her present connection.
Mr.. Crooks had no such aid to
fame. He earned it by the arduous
road that leads from the choir
through countless concert engage
ments to ortorio and finally to
opera. And like most conspicuous
native figures Of the lyric stage
he still finds his principal activity
in concert and recital.
He opened last nights program
with three types of Handehan
song-the purely lyric, the rare,
subdued and intimate, exploiting
the softer infections, and the
heroic. He extended those charac-
teristic phases of his art that de-
rive their chief beauties from his
native tongue, with songs in Eng
lish by Rachmaninoff, Dvorak and
Tours.
He turned to italian and French
opera for arias from "L'Arlesi-
ana" by Cilea; Fedora" by Gior-
dano, and "Manon," by Massenet,
to demonstrate that an American
artist must have all the European
art of various styles and tradi-
tions at his command, something
we do not expect of the alien
guest. Throughout the recital he
superb command of
every vocal and interpretative re-
source.

PLAN TO BETTER
CITIZENSHIP
First Lady to Address
Federation Tonight

An immediate roject Of the Gen
eral Federation of Women's Clubs
will be nationwide promotion
of Citizenship Day, according tt
Mrs. Frederick H. Clausen, ot
Horison, Wis, chairman Of the
federation's department of Amer
ican citizenship. She made this
announcement in her report to the
$50 club leaders attending the
opening session of the nationa,
board meeting today at headquar
ters of the organization.
This will be a day dedicated
to those young men and women
who have reached their twenty
first birthday, and SO their vot-
ing majority, during the cur
rent year." Mrs. Clausen told
the women. She added:
In the past, very few voters
have really understood their
duties, responsibilities and obli-
cations. Citizenship Day will be
the occasion upon which the
citizenery welcomes these young
voters into the electorate and
provides them with a means
through which they may better
understand their part in govern
ment, and their relation to the
government under which they
live.
CAN IT HAPPEN HERE?

events, Americans are beginning
to question that comfortable

themselves just what it is that
can't happen here. In order to
answer this question, we propose
to furnish factual information
as to the rights, privileges, and
obligations of the citizen under
communism, fasciSm and democ-
racy.
To-day, when time and dis
tance are so telescoped that
the President OF the United
States can address the Congress
on the State of the Union with
the world for an audience, it is
high time to ponder this
question"
Mrs. Saddle Orr Dunbar, ma
tional president, conducted to-
days meeting. The women were
to be received this afternoon at
4 o'clock at a reception by Mrs.
Roosevelt in the White House.

 MT. Coe remarked in conclusion:
 This industry started in such a small way less than century and half ago, today plays heavy role in our economy. Frist it supplied few simyle home wants. Today it permeates every phase of com- mercial, industrial, scientific, en- gineering and domestic activity.
 From the discovery of copper by prehistoric man down through the centuries, the metal and it's alloys have greatly influenced the progress of the world. Without copper there would not have been possible most of the modern in- ventions that make life so oom- fortable and interesting.

Coronary Disease
 Responsible For Numerous Deaths

Coronary disease now ranks high among the important causes of death, and in 1888 was respon- sible for $11.40 of every $l0O paid out in death claims by the Met ropolitan Life Insurance Company although less than ten years ago according to the company's sta- tisticians, it was not deemed im- portant enough to receive special listing as a mortality factor. Among the thousands who suc- cumbed to the disease during the last ten years were such public figures as former President Calvin Coolidge, Otto H. Kahn, banker, Odgen Mills, former Secretary of the Treasury, and Harvey Fire stone, inductrialist.
 The coronary disease death rate among Metropolitan Industrial policyholders began to attract notice in 1880 when it reached AT per 100000. The rate has risen steadily ever since. and by 1888 had reached 34,1 per 100000, as compared with a rate of 30.6 for 1887. Mortality from coronary disease has reached more since 1929 than that from other cause of death, and, with the exception of cancer, was the only important disease whose death rate was higher in 1888 than in 1887.

 MT. Coe also described how these imported workers insisted on working in buildings into which no Yankee was permitted to enter and how the industry has grown and has become consolid- ated with the metal producers.
 President Coe said:
 "The English guild, whose craft was ancient and secret, was jealous of our New England youthful industry, and fought the transportation of English workers to the new land. They went to Falmouth and secured laws for bidding the exportation of machinery and models, the carry
