attained such poise that she didn't
even miss a note the night when,
while she was singing Mimi in La
Boheme" her long lace pantalets fell
off in the middle of the stage.
She might have behaved with
equal aplomb the night cat jumped
on her shoulder while she was por-
traytng Isolde I'm Tristan" but the
orchestra collapsed in mirth and the
show had to be halted temporarily.
She left the Met, she said, not be
cause she was ready to quit her sing
ing career but because three is a
crowd" She was referring to the at
tentions that Gatti-CasaZZa, whom
she had divorced the previous year,
was then paying to RoSina Cali, the
premiere danseuse.
Rosina became the new Mrs. Gatti-
CasaZza in 1880 but La Aida remained
single until 1941, when she married
Ray Vir Den, an advertising execu-
tive ten years her junior. =
Troubles usually have come in
pairs for the songstreSS. She was
sued twice by landlords who claimed
she refused to pay the rent. She was
sued by two furriers who said She
refused to pay her bills. She was
sued by two interior decorators, one
of whom, Joseph Caplan, said she
threatened TO shoot him because she
didn't like the way he hung the
curtains in her bedroom.
But only one maid has charged
that the diva spanked her. That one
was named Marie and she said the
spanking occurred on steamer en-
route from Europe a week after she
had been hired.
And only one gardener has both
cred to send a couple OF deputy
sheriffs to her home to collect furni-
ture. That was in 1926 and the
sheriffs men had to call for reserves
before they could get into the attic
of her Great Neck, L. l.. mansion,
where the gardener said she had
locked his belongings after they
had an argument.

She has been in fights with mu.

specializing in cooks.
One cook sued for SOS, 900 because,
she said. the diva gave her a shove
during an argument and sent her
reeling back against a hot stove,
burning her back and hands.
And Just the other day she was
summoned into court in New York by
another cook who complained that
the erstwhile prima donna was, al
most literally, taking the meat out
of her mouth.

Sweden. His mothers family came
from New England. Flowing and
cultivation were by team-not trac-
tor power. The crops were wheat,
oats, barley and some corn-a few
hogs. 1t was dry farming. His
parents did all the work until his
brother and his sister grew strong
enough to help.
Eighty acres, a half section, is not
a big farm in that country. But
his father started a farm imple-
ment business in Mitchell.
Worked on Newspaper.
That enabled Clinton to go two
years to Methodist college in
Mitchell and then he went to the
University of Michigan to take law
He made two student publications
and at the end of his junior year
he returned to Mitchell to work on
a morning and afternoon news
paper.
That was the summer of 1917. He
was 81. He tried to get into the
first Officers Training Camp, but
he was told he was tubercular.
He was sent to a sanitarium in
Albuquerque for nine months. His
home has been there since. He went
into newspaper work there-became
managing editor Of one of the
papers. Then he went to work for
the New Mexico Mortgage & Loan
Co. as head of their insurance de-
partment, writing fire policies on
mortgaged properties.
He became Rotarian, was elected
president of the Albuquerque club
then named governor of the region
He was elected International Ro-
tary president in 1882, head of the
5000 clubs in 80 countries with
100000 members. That involved a
lot of travelling about the continent
He was appointed treasurer of New
Mexico in 1888. In the same year
Harry Hopkins and the New Mex
leo delegation in Congress, having
had difficulty in arriving at a relief
director. agreed on Mr.. Anderson
He later became WPA regional di-
rector for several States. The dele
cation was unable to agree on a
National Youth Administration man
for New Mexico and Aubrey Will
liams appointed Mr.. Anderson. He
served concurrently in the latter job
without pay.
Elected to Congress in 1910.
He resigned both jobs to attend
the Democratic Convention in Phil
adelphia in 1886. He had always
been active in Democratic politics
When he returned he was made
State chairman of Unemployment
Compensation Committee, admin
istering the new social security
program in New Mexico. In 1881
he organized the New Mexico Mu-
tual Casualty Co., underwriting
workmen's compensation insurance
in New Mexico. In 1888 he resigned
the unemployment compensation
position to campaign again.
Mr.. Anderson went out for Con.
gress in 1910 His batting average
politically is 1000-three primaries
three campaigns, no defeats.

Star an exploit in Germany. The
27-year-old tank gunner said:
Our tank was sent to contact an
adjoining unit. When we found our
route mined and blocked by felled
trees, we struck across country and
after travelling 1000 yards, came
upon town. Hearing our tank ap-
proach, the people began waving
bed sheets. towels and white hand

in this town and we picked up seven
Krauts and an officer, slowing them
on the back deck of our tank. The
situation looked peaceful enough, so
