Christmas went over pretty
quiet with no casualties on the
Main thoroughfare Speaking of
the main thoroughfare, which is
Ninth Street, it is so doggone quiet
now since "Stonev" Mathews and
company and "Cyclone" Smith
Incorporated made their business
known until the falling of leaf
sounds like an earthquake. The
boys in cleaning up this area are
giving the officers who patrol the
outcryI<irts Of the City a head
ache, according to the record and
seal down on Markham ard Broad
way.
These thugs who made it their
business to leave the suburbs and
come to the center of attraction to
strut their stuff are finding no
welcome mats on the floors, so
they are staying out there and are
giving the officers out there plenty
trorble. Just another problem
that the citizenry will have to
solve.

High school girls as we'll as adult
women are needed as anti-aircraft
volunteers to aid in the protection
Of Washington against possible at
tack. These volunteers work under
direct orders and supervision of the
Army's Anti-aircraft Artillery.
They are needed in the continu-
GUS recruiting drive that furnishes
workers for the operations board on
which are plotted the character
istics and direction of all airplanes
flying over the Metropolitan Area.
The high school girls. who must
have completed their Junior year,
are called vacation volunteers. They
sign up for 10 weeks service con-
sisting of four hours every third
day. Their services are needed
throughout the "a hours of the day
Adult women are also vitally
needed to replace workers leaving
on summer vacations and to fill
vacancies created by the service
transfers which constantly remove
Army, Navy and Air Forces wives
active in this work, to other sections
of the country.
I'VE direct special plea to women
who know they will be spending the
summer in Washington" Mrs.

anti-aircraft volunteers, says: "These

crowd after the intermission was
accompanied by continual applause.
Singing number of popular
songs, Mr.. Melton was able to make
the audience forget its discomfort
from the heat. Not a breath of air
was stirring to dissipate the heavy
atmosphere from which the city
suffered all day. Mr.. Melton, thank

brought a laugh by saying But

head, he looked up and said, "I bet
it's cool up there"
1t was in this friendly fashion
that the soloist won his listeners.
His f1ne resonant voice seemed to
take on more expression the longer
he sang and in the numbers of popu-
lar appeal he did his finest work.
Beginning with medley of
Emerich Kalman's, including Play

changed the listed numbers to

The artist did not make his two
arias, "Ombra Mai Flu" from Han
del's "xerxes" and 'M'Appari" from
Flotow's Martha and the Schubert
"Serenade" as interesting as the
group of lighter songs. His voice is
a splendid medium for such num-
bers but he makes little attempt to
polish them with poised delivery and
coloring Of tone.
The fine line of bel canto suffered
from volume of sound, quick tempo
and hastily delivered phrasing and
he did not produce the emotional
sympathy with the text which he
showed in the later songs. With
them he won triumph that marked
him as an artist after the audiences
