that which is good; and cur land
shall yield her increase. Righteous

Dowaser Thumbs
Nose at Opera

NEW YORK, Nov. % 'T-P' -
Everybody agreed today that the
Metropolitan Operas diam on d
Jubilee opening last night was a
brilliant affair but one music
critic said white horse stole the
show while another newspaper as
serted that be-jeweled dowager
thumbed her nose at the whole
procee dings and walked out.
Mrs. Henry L. Doherty, widow os
the public utilities man, was shown
in picture on the front page of
the Daily News making the homely
gesture of contempt. The nose
,humbing appeared TO have been
directed at the photographer but
IN accompanying story suggested
that it expressed her attitude to-
wards the opera and everything
connected with it.
The incident of the white horse
occurred in the last act of the
opera, Mussorgsky's Boris Godun-
off," which had been chosen as a
wartime tribute to fighting Rus
sia. The horse, carrying one of the
leading singers, was reStive and
disturbed the musical proceedings.

Says Shortage Of
Liquor Caused by
Consumption

CHICAGO, Nov. %. CUP)-Mrs.
Ida B. Wise Smith, rational preSi-
dent of the Women's Christian
Temperance Union. said today the
growing liquor shortage was not
caused by boarding of supplies, but
by a trend in the other direction
immediate consumption.
Mrs. Smith, who has never touch
ed a drop but who probably has
more figures on liquor consumption
than any other private source, said
the shortage could be laid to the
public, which with more money to
spend is drinking up supplies faster
than the government anticipated
The idea that liquor is being
boarded for speculative purposes is
absurd" Mrs. Smith said.
Liquor has not been produced
for over a year, and the people,
having more money are drinking
more.
The liquor companies can see
when their supplies will be ex-
hausted and are limiting sales in
order to keep their trade names
before the public as long as pos
sible."
Mrs. Smith said increased drink
ing also was caused by accessibility
and social pressure.

Camp Fire Leader Stresses
Import Of Youth Program

A growing concern Is the prob
lens of youth, and an increasing in
terest in programs, such as Camp
Fire, which are meeting youth
needs is prevalent throughout the
nation, declared Miss Nora Garvin,
Camp Fire field representative who
made an official visit to the val
ley, speaking at luncheon Monday
noon at the California hotel, with
board members and guardians at
tending.
Miss Garvin stressed the import
ance of realizing that work with
youth is an important wartime
propect and that much more should
be done in the way of programs
for girls, also emphasizing that it
is the responsibility of everyone TO
aid in the youth program.
NEEDS LEADERS
With more girls than ever before
desiring Camp Fire, she declared,
the shortage of adult leaders makes
it impossible for Camp Fire to ex-
tend its program to meet the needs.
1t is imperative, said Miss Garvin
that Camp Fire Council members
give time to the problem of secur-
ing adequate leadership for Camp
Fire groups. So many adults are
engaged in other forms of war work
that the shortage Of leaders is
acute.
Camp Fire provides not only good
times for girls, giving them the
happy girlhood that is their right,
but it also offers training in home
making, in citizenship and provides
many opportunities for them to aid
in the war effort.
NEW PROGRAM
In her talk, Miss Garvin also
pointed out that Camp Fire is no
program adapted hastily to fit inn
mediate needs but that it is a long
range program. Already, a two year
plan has been worked out to meet
the needs of girls for those diff
cult days after the war when many
adjustments must be made. Miss
Garvin urged both council members
and guardians to study this pro-
gram and to carry it into effect.
Don Young, president, conducted
the meeting, presenting Miss Gar

Extra Job Plea
For Firemen
Is Rejected
Chief Of Department
Insists They Are
On 24-Hour Coll

The Commissioners today rejected
the recent request of Fred z. Hetzel
acting area director Of the War
Manpower Commission, that District
f1remen be permitted to take outside
jobs such as driving fuel Oil delivery
trucks during their off-duty hours.
The decision of the Commission
ers was based on a recommendation
by Fire Chief Stephen T. Porter,
who declared that District firemen
are subject to call "a hours a day
and should reserve all their energy
for fire fighting. He made the
further point 1t would be impossible
to notify the firemen If they were
needed In emergencies.
Mr.. Hetzel had petitioned the
Commissioners to relax the Fire
Department regulations on the
ground of the acute shortage of Ger
tain types of skilled labor in this
area. He said there had been times
in the past six months when every
available source of labor was can
vassed, without finding sufficient
available help for necessary opera
tions.
Chief Porter, however, declared
the Fire Department is fully aware
of the manpower shortage and in
fact has 50 vacancies in its own
force. He continued:
on duty firemen are subject to
call in any emergency and are re-
quired to so arrange that they may
be notified promptly whenever they
are needed. 1t manifestly would be
impossible for this department to
notify an employe that his services
were needed to combat a multiple
alarm fire If said employe was driv-
ing truck and delivering oil some
where in the city.
THE duties of a fireman require
the exercise of every faculty, physi-
cal and mental, for the preservation
of life and property, and I do not
approve of them dividing their
strength as we'll as their interest and
attention between their depart
mental duties and outside pursuits. u
Fire Department executives stead
fastly have opposed outside employ
ment for firemen, and some months
ago score of firemen were official
ly reprimanded when found guilty
OF working in grocery stores during
of duty hours.
