The vivacious music of Verdi's
al Trovatore" and the excellent
singers of the cast guaranteed an
other success for the Philadelphia
La Scala Opera Co., which pre-
sented the third opera of it's series
last night in Constitution Hall
However, neither the big names nor
the magic appendage of the Metro
politan Opera after them drew the
size of audience customary when
Verdis well-worn work is given,
There was fine singing, passable
acting and much enthusiasm, but
Constitution Hall was not filled.
1t is pleasure to note that in
this company of veteran singers,
the American contralto, Winifred
Heidi, created the deepest impress
sion. Her dramatic powers were
such, in her first scene, that excite
ment was communicated to the audi
ence. which ordinarily accepts the
gypsy's narrative lukeWarmly. But
Miss Heidi made it real and grip
ping while her glorious voice seemed
to hold ineXhaustible richness in
volume and depth. 1t is an ex-
ceptional voice, full-throated, warm
ly colored, powerful and of wide
range. 1t is fresh and young and
SO we'll trained that the singer has
nothing to think about except how
descriptive she wishes to make it.
She is forceful and intelligent
actress and the audience realized
it Immediately.
The leading soprano role, that of
Leonora, was taken by Zinka Mil
anov, who also impressed by her
vocal ability. But Nine Milanov
did not make the character realistic
for her command of histrionic art
is limited and her hand gestures,
her only means of expression, un-
variable. She is more absorbed in
singing than in character delinea-
ton and her large, full-timbered
voice was smoothly used in phras-
ing and very flexible in passages of
agility. Her stage presence is dis
tinguished and she was a domin-
ating figure in all her scenes.
A tenor new to this city was
Kurt Baum, who sang the role of
Manrico, making an attractive trou-
badour looking somewhat like a
Lohengrin in dark costume. Inter-
est was aroused Immediately with

that is exceptional and he knows
how to stress climax with vigor

delivery was received with tumult

Ivan Petroff's splendid baritone
was an ideal medium for the poetic
text of the aria I'll Balen Del Suo

him. Mr.. Petrof created the proper

U. S. is USING MILK CLOSER

Wartime changes in both the eat
ing and the drinking of milk are
leading the United States to come a
good deal closer to getting full food
value out of the milk supply. The
changes were under way in the years
before the war, says the U. S. De-
partment of Agriculture, reporting a
st Idly by the Bureau, of Agricultural
Economics of the food uses of milk
particularly the ''nonfat"
solids where the greatest gains have
been made. In four years, however,
the increase in use of these solids
that are fats has been about twice as
great as the increase for the seven
pre-war years.
When a person drinks a pint of
milk he puts to food use all the milk
solids in approximately pound of
milk. If the milk is skinned for
butter making, that removes the ''fat
solids" for a food use, but if the
SKINNED milk is used to manufac-
ture casein or is fed to livestock the
Bureau study classes the remaining
solids as not used for foods. Manu-
facture of whole-milk cheese is an
example of a food use for both fat
solids and nonfat solids. So, too, is
the drying of whole milk to a DOW
der, or the making of condensed
milk. For convenience in COMPARE
sons all these and other uses are tab
ulated on basis of the whole milk
(milk equivalent) used in making
the product.
Nearly all the fat solids have al
ways gone to food uses, but before
the war less attention was given to
food use of the nonfat solids. From
1881 to 1884, the Bureau reports
food uses for slightly less than half
the nonfat solids although this in
Guided the solids in the fluid milk
the nation was drinking. From 1884
through 1910 the use of the nonfat
milk solids (milk equivalent) in
creased about billion pounds (from
SIG to 60.7 billion pounds. Fluid
milk accounted for about half this
increase. But since 1910 the use of
the nonfat solids (milk equivalent)
has increased by another 18 billion
pounds of milk, and in 1914 stood at
1873 billion pounds of milk, with
fluid milk again accounting for about
half this increase.
Milk production has continued to
increase. Nearly all the fat continues
to be used for food, but the great
gain is in the use of the nonfat SOL
ids. We are now making food use of
nearly two-thirds of the nonfats in
stead of little less than half as in
1894.

20 TRAFFIC DEATHS In MARCH

The Maryland Traffic Safety Com
mission reports that 20 persons were
killed and 43S persons injured in the

An automobile brake check pro-
gram, sponsored by the International
Association of Chiefs of Police in CO.
operation with Government agencies,
started April Is and will end June l..
Purpose of the program is to help
save passenger cars from the scrap
heap, to maintain adequate transpor-
tation for war workers, and to reduce
traffic accidents. In 1914, it is esti-
mated, some 100000 cars were
scrapped after they were damaged
beyond repair in accidents. To deter
mine whether your brakes are ade-
quate to stop your car is time, a
simple brake check is recommended.
The check is made by placing an OBJ
ject one inch thick at the base of the
brake pedal, and pushing down on
the brake pedal. If it strikes the OBJ
ject before the brakes begin to take
hold, they are inadequate and may
be in dangerous condition. Between
April is and June traffic officers
will check passenger cars involved

go cars operated in manner in

QUEEN OF THE GARDEN

About 10 gardeners out of 20
grew tomatoes last season and there
is every reason for a repeat perform
ance in 1915, says Victory Garden
headquarters at the U. S. Depart
ment OF Agriculture. Ration points
for tomatoes are high now because
all the home canned tomatoes plus
the commercial crop did not add up
to cans enough to fully meet the de-
mand.
Fresh in season, in cans, and in
various products, the tomato is val
ued on the table for its flavor, alone
and also in combination with other
tional vitamin favors. Tomato juice
is usually the most practical alter
nate for citrus juices at times when
oranges and grapefruit are scarce OF
expensive. OF all fruits and vegeta-
bles, the tomato is considered the
most "cannable." Even small sur
plus can be canned readily and quick
ly with simple equipment.
There are tested and reliable va
rieties of tomatoes for every State,
but these vary widely, and each home
gardener should rely on a variety
that has made good record in his
region. For full production from lin
tied space, gardeners can gain by
careful stalking, pruning, and mulch
ing. Extra high fertility isn't require
but a good and even supply of moist
ure during the poisoning and when
the fruits are filling favors heavy
YIELD
In transplanting tomatoes to home
gardens, many gardeners find it help
full to use a starter solution of two
ounces or a quarter of cupful OF
Victory Garden fertilizer to a gallon
of water. A cupful of this each plan
ing hole before setting the plants
provides moisture and quick plant
food. Transplanting on a cloudy day
or late in the afternoon is helpful in
preventing whiting. A basket, large
flower pot, or pasteboard carton,
turned over the plants for the first
"a to So hours also helps the plants
by preventing whiting.
Cutworms may attack young toma-
to plants. A light pasteboard or
heavy paper collar bent loosely
around the stem and extending an
inch into the soil and two inches
above ground is a simple and prac-
tical protection. The next insect that
may attack tomatoes is the flea beetle
particularly if the plants wilt. Pro-
lection should be prompt. Federal en-
tomologists recommend busting or
spraying with cryolite or rotenone,
or spraying with calcium arsenate
bordeaux mixture.
