4,OOO THRILLED
At SWARTHOUT
RECITAL HERE
Program Is Seasons
Most AriStOCratiC
BY WILLIAM NEWMAN

Gladys SWarthout. unlike some
other HOLLYWOOD figures, seems
determined to make her movie
popularity serve in her effort to
elevate tho taste of the multitude.
For the 1000 music lovers and
movie fans who filled ConStitu
ton Hoil for her recital yeSter
day afternoon, she offered the
seasons most aristoCratic pro
gram of song.
1t served the history of the art
by quoting the Interestingly con
trasted arias of Dido, the one
from Henry Purcell's seventeenth
century English opera, Dido
and Aenaes the other from Ber
lioz' nineteenth century lyric
drama or the same subject, Les
Troyens a Carthage" If there
was more theater in the French
work there surely was greater
wealth of melody and of feeling
in the Elizabethan masters treat
ment of the tragedy.
VOICE NOW IN PRIME
Miss Swarthout brought to-
hearing an unknown aria by JO-
ham Christian Bach, the gifted
son of Johann Sebastian.
Her voice is now in its prime.
an ideal and somber mezzo, the
perfect Carmen voice. as she
proved by quoting the "Habanera' y
in place of three French songs.
Her interpretative resources EN-.
brace diction, varied tone coloE,
flaWless sense of the lyric phrase
and its emotional implications,
and mastery of the dramatic
recitative.
1t was an exciting recital gener-
ously extended by encores.
DUTCH BALLET's DEBUT
Yvonne Georgi's new Dutch
Ballet made its American debut
last night at the National Thea
ter under distinguished auspices.
Thus there was much respect
and some measure of enthusiasm
for revival of Beethovens ballet,
THE Creatures of Prometheus.
It is recorded that Beethoven
quarreled bitterly with the choreog-
rapherS of his day. who were, of
course, strict classicists, which
Nine. Georgi has trained her at
tractive group of young Dutch !
girls and men in choreography
adapted from Greek sculpture.
SOUVENIR" FAMILIAR
One of the better known among
Dutch composers of the present
is Joaquin Turina, who is some
thing of specialist, in modern |
versions of the Spanish musical |
idiom. His dance-comedy en-
titled Souvenir" plays in the
familiar tavern scene, parades all .
the expected actors, from gay |
ladies to drunken military, works
up the expected climax of rhyth-
mic frenzy and does the whole
traditional job expertly. This
made hit.
There are some interesting
artists in the group. One lists
Mr.. Iolas among the foremost
male dance mines. He was a per
Suasive Prometheus.

WHEN YOU SERVE CARROTS
OR SPINACH

Throwing away the water in
which you cook your carrots and
spinach is almost the same as throw
ing away the precious vitamins on
tanned in these vegetables.
''That's what scientists working in
the laboratories of the Bureau of
Home Economics in the Department
of Agriculture have found" writes
the Consumers Guide, publication
of the Consumers Counsel Division
of the AAA.
First rule is not to overlook
carrots and spinach. Second rule is
not to throw away the water they
were cooked in if you want to get
the full benefit of Vitamin B
(thiamin, sometimes called the
appetite vitamin') found in them.
Third rule is not to add baking
soda-even a pinch-to any vege-
table cooking in water. The soda
might make the vegetables look
green, but it destroys nutritional
value and often spoils the taste of
the vegetables

UNION GAS AND oils
5ERVI(ED IN BUTTE

Attention of the unions has been
called to Consumers Service Station
at sol East Park street which is
operated by Jensen and Son. This
station s~pecializes in Montana oils
and gases. Of particular interest is
a new product put out by the Havre
Oil Refinery Company. 1t is claimed
by the company that this gas gives
per cent more mileage, no ping and
is quick starting. 1t sells for 20
cents a gallon. 1t is characterized as
Havre High Quality Bronze Gas.
Another gas sold by the Consumers
Gas Station is Havre High Quality
White Gas which sells for 10 cents
a gallon. Of interest to the unions
of Silver Bow county is that both
of these gases are unionized through
out from the refinery, in transporta-
ton, and in service at the station.
Members of organized labor should
consider these facts when buying
their gas and oils.

LOBBYISTS RECEIVE
FATAL BLOW

at a cost of about 70 cents per ton.
Some saving, is it not? And while
the men who formerly mined this
coal were thrown out of employ
ment and most of them, out of neces-
sity, having to appeal to the state
and federal government for aid,
while the shovel continued to fatten
the purse of the corporations. Now
is there anything better able to stand
a tax than a machine that throws
thousands of men out of employ
ment and enables the interests to
make enormous profits? I do not
think so, nor do l believe that the
people think so.
And by the way, I am informed
that the Northern Pacific does not
own these coal deposits, but that it
is controlled by a holding company,
composed of high officials of the
Northern Pacific and Great North
ern and that this holding company
sells this coal to the railroads they
control at a handsome personal
profit. Of course it is legitimate to
rob the stockholders and then refuse
to pay a just state tax to help defray
the cost of government. So, Mr..
Metlen, I am convinced that you are
the one that is ridiculous and not
the tax on coal.
l am firmly convinced that if the
people of the state of Montana will
elect enough liberal labor men and
farmers to the legislature in the
that Montana will have bet
ter laws, better conditions, more
honest administration of laws, and
the tax burdens will be placed on
those who are best able to pay them.

YOUTH n The
TOWNSEND PLAN

The youth of today will be the
aged of tomorrow, to you the young
generation, what outlook have you
into the future? Have you the salts
faction of mind, the security of an
honest living, or just a mere exist
ence, of which most of us at the
present conditions must be content
with? Investigate the Townsend Re-
covery Plan for everyone, young or
old.
A word of wisdom to you, the
parents of children: Do not let your
children go through the misery that
you had to endure; look into the
Townsend Plan.
The Townsend Plan does not pro-
vide, or set aside a special fund for
the upkeep of the young of America
but goes further than that. The
Townsend Recovery Plan will give
you an opportunity to work for an
honest wage and enable you to give
your children that which our fore
fathers fought for-life, liberty, and
pursuit of happiness.

WELFARE OF PEOPLE
HURT BY BUSINESS
Continued from Page y

H. B. 219 would have imposed a
10 cents per ton tax on all coal over
100000 tons taken from strip mines.
This was a measure aimed at the
Northern Pacific at Colstrip, in Rose
bud county.
Representative Sherman Smith,
who had made the deal to support
this measure in return for support
of his 30-day divorce bill, led the
fight against it and was successful
in killing the measure.
H. B. 406, a 5 per cent tax on the
gross revenue of telephone COM
panies was killed with the fight
against the measure being led by
Padbury of Lewis and Clark county.
Also killed during the day was
H. B. 1870 which would have made
silicosis a compensate disease.
Chairman Stromnes of the judiciary
committee recommended the bill be
killed. 1t was.
The House then recessed until l
p. m.
During the recess the labor repre-
sentatives mixed some medicine with
the farm union groups and the Re
publcians.
The ostensible picture when the
Ho,,eo oo,xyopaJ ~ y +La4 o,roos.o
was that all revenue measures hav-
ing been killed, the House would of
necessity have to pass the three
gambling bills which remained on
the calendar for consideration.
But the House did not pass the
measures. Solidly, with the excep-
ton of nine members from Silver
Bow, six being from the liberal bloc,
the liberal members of the House
voted with the farmers and the Re-
publicans against the gambling bill.
Stromnes and Smith tried every
trick in their bag, made imprisoned
and eloquent pleas for fairness"
and "impartiality." Joe Metlin of
Beaverhead emphasized the import
ance of the gambling measures to
the state, but not a vote was changed.
The last straw had broken the
cameps back. The farmers and
labor had been double-crossed once
too often. Their naive simplicity
and trust had been killed.
Saturday the Senate adjourned
without having appointed a confer
ence committee to meet with the
House and draw up new revenue
measures.
Monday the Senate formally an
nounced they would not consider
appointing such a committee. Reve-
nue. raising was not their function
and they did not propose to inter
fere with the House in its ~constitu-
tional duties.
Saturday night at a banquet Gov
ernor Ayers said he was sure the
legislature would find revenue by
honorable means. This was inter
preted as a request for a sales tax.
Monday morning he sent the 30-day
divorce bill back to the House with
his veto.
To date the fight is a stalemate.
More and more the sentiment seems
to be growing that no new revenue
should be raised, that economy
should be insisted upon and that the
higher salaried brackets should be
cut to bear the burden.

His hand moved to the raveled
hole in the sleeve of his thin wool
sweater. He tried to cover it up.
It was no use even thinking about

the only thing to Jimmy was that
his mother had to have her gift.
It Depends on You.
For Jimmy, and the hundreds of
other boys and girls like him who
know Christmas means presents for
somebody, it's going to be pretty
tough when the boy next door wants
to know What did va get for
Cnristmas?"
Their answer depends on you.
If you'd like child, some child like
Jimmy, to have new toy to show
his luckier friends on Christmas
morning, you can plan to attend one
OF the toy matinees to be presented
Saturday, December is, at II mo-
ton picture theaters throughout the
city by The Star in cooperation
with Warner Bros theaters and
the National Broadcasting Co. One
new toy will be your ticket Of ad-

heart Of a child who hasn't much
reason to believe in Santa Claus.
Many families, families like
Jimmys, need so many things be-
sides toys that perhaps you'd rather
help with money. Just send it to
The Star cashier for the Christmas
Heart Fund and your gift will be
acknowledged in the news columns.

| 100 Billion
~. S. Income
lis Forecast
By the Associated Press.


NEW YORK, Dec. "a national
income of 100 billion dollars an
nually was visualized yesterday by
c. M. Chester, chairman of General
Foods Corp.
He told the National Association
of Manufacturers: Industry is COM
ing back strong. If we as nation
can make so billion dollars in an
atmosphere of misunderstanding,
what can't we make by all pulling
together? A national income Of 100
billion dollars is not just a fantastic
goal; it can be a dream come true"
Employment in manufacturing in
dustry, he asserted, already was z
per cent above the average OF 1929,
the final boom year.
He said a survey by the associa-
ton among its members resulted in
the following outlook for the next
six months: "65 per cent OF the
companies reporting believed that
business during the next six months
will be as good or better than at
present, while 16 per cent thought
1t would be worse; 10 per cent ex-
pressed no opinion"
Mrs. Carrie Chapman Gait, fem
mist leader, told the delegates: "The
only way to end war is through
public opinion. Nations which have
shut OIL free speech, parliamentary
bodies and private agitation, be
they Fasclsts or Communists, are
only arsenals of canned tradition
and are consequently the chief
malntalners Of the war system"
r. w. Moors. president of Canada
Dry Ginger Ale, Inc, urged that I'VE
rid ourselves of ism advocates
wherever we find them," asserting:
I'VE Americans cannot afford to be
tolerant OF would-be saboteurs and
potential traitors"
