American Flag Flies
From Most Powerful
Warships in World

The battleship, most expensive and
complicated structure ever conceived
and made by man, may cost as much
as 100000, 900 per COPY. Into its
making goes every skilled trade-in
1t Is incorporated every known
science.
They are the biggest, toughest
ships af1oat. Modern ones-about 60
are owned by all nations, it is be-
Heved-are about two blocks long,
a third of a block wide. There's
more of them under water than
shows above.
According to history, battleship
has life span of a quarter of a
century-but it can die in two min
utes.
Each United States battleship is a
complete unit; it generates its own
electricity, has complete telephone
and telegraphic exchange, radio and
mechanical signaling devices. 1t has
print shop and prints daily news
paper. There's movie theater, a
library, recreation rooms. post Office,
Jail, hospital and schools.
The galley provides more and
better food than in any other Navy
in the world. The kitchens are COM
plete.
A battleship has from eight to
nine decks and it takes from 1900
to 1,500 men and officers, most Of
whom are carefully trained special
lists, to operate the great fighting
machine. The torpedo is the battle
ships most deadly enemy.
Biggest, fastest and most power
fully armed battleships in the world
now carry the American flag.

sent two major Russian works:

mieres, some of the famous works
from the established repertory have
been selected: Shostakovich's Sym
phony No S." Brahms Symphony
No. g." Beethoven's Symphony No.
g." Mendelssohn's Symphony No.

Yehudi Menuhin will introduce
Bartok's violin concerto on January

100 Rabbits Give
Schoolboy Both
Fun and Profit

There's money in the rabbit busi-
ness and Walter Larsen has discov-
cred how to turn his spare time into
cash. He lives in California and
here's how he describes his profit
able hobby:
II raise rabbits. have 13 does,
three bucks, few junior does, and
the rest fryers and baby rabbits. AL
together, they total about 100.
feed them twice a day and / clean
them on Saturday. If have any ex-
ira time then, I work for another
lady cleaning rabbits pens, which
takes ABOUT eight hours.
Il sell all my fryers by the road
side. I skin, weigh and butcher
them myself"
Alan is 13 years old, and lives at
$40 West 1920 street, Gardena, Calf.
He told us also that he practices one
and half hours on his marimba
lessons, but he didn't say how good
he was at playing the instrument.
We hope he's as successful at it as
he's been with his rabbits.

said the farm was no place for girls
and their work would never amount
to anything. But we were deter

officials of the camp were con-
fronted with the problem of what
we were to do, because we went
there to pick beans and save other
food crops.
Tobacco was the answer, although
it is not food crop, and technically
not essential, we felt that, by strip

do essential jobs, and also take the
place OF others who already had
left. At this job, we also made high

DO other jobs whenever necessary,

De Koven's Operetta
Staged Next Week
By Local Artists

Tickets for three performances OF
robin Hood" by the Columbia
Light Opera, go on sale tomorrow at
706 Thirteenth street NV, the COM
pany's own box Office, open daily
from 10 am. to pm. Reginald
De Koven's famous operetta, for 20
years considered gold mine" by
the original company, will be given
at the Roosevelt Auditorium,
Thursday, Friday and Saturday
evenings, october 7, and 9 at
$50 pm.
The name of the late De Koven
is closely linked with Washington
where he resided between 1902 and
1905 and founded what was then
known as the Philharmonic Or
chestra. Under his baton the Or
chestra gave number of SYM
phony concerts in this city.
Robin Hood" was first produced
by the Bostonians in the Chicago
Opera House in 1890. About that time
De Koven began his long and distin-
guished carer as music critic on
the Chicago Evening Post. He
relinquished this position in favor
of a similar one on New York
daily, followed by others in that
city. Writing did not deter him from
composing. He was successful as
composer of songs, light opera and
grand opera. His Canterbury
Pilgrims" were produced at the
Metropolitan Opera in 1907, while
the sequel of Robin Hood" Maid
Marian" duplicated the American
success of the former in London.
The local production of Robin
Hood" will be directed by Ethyl
Manning, permanent conductor of
the Columbia Light Opera Company
and presented under the auspices of
the Distritc of Columbia Recrea-
tion Department. Despite difficult
ties which the organization had to
face in the beginning OF this year
and the loss of As members to the
Armed Forces, it has been fortunate
In finding replacements. Miss Man.
ming recruited experienced artists
from out of town, who. prior to
coming to Washington, have been
active in their own local groups.
Members of the chorus represent
almost every State in the Union.
The majority are Government en-
ployes. This will be the 45th per-
fOrmance of the COMPANY. now its
eighth year of existence.
