clever representations, finely drawn
and not overdone. He is particularly
adept in the patter songs, Gilbert

only occasionally in this operetta
and, appropriately. to the Lord
Chancellor.
Although it would seem that the
plot offered scant opportunity for
the political gibes the authors de-

they are skillfully interviewer to
form really the highlights. Some of
these fell to Mr.. Crow, Mr.. Nc
Kinstry and Mr.. DiMaggio, with
others given to Richard Nessul, who
took the part of Strephon. The
singers handled them cleverly and
with just the proper emphases.

Light Opera Group
lnaugurates Season
With 'IOlanthe'
By Alice Eversmon

The Columbia Light Opera Co
inaugurated it's season with pres
entation last night of Gilbert and
Sullivan's "Iolanthe" in the Roose-
welt Auditorium. The performance
was under the sponsorship of the
D. c. Recreation Department, which
for many years has assisted in the
growth of one of the most important
of local group efforts. For here
are gathered together skilled and
unskilled amateurs who receive ex-
cellent training from the director,
Ethyl Manning, in branch of music
that Is being almost overlooked in
these times. That 1t is light opera
and that the repertoire is composed
Of favorites of another era does rot
detract from the educational, en-
tertainment and artistic elements
involved.
'Iolanthe" ranks rather far down
in the list of the Gilbert and Sulli-
van works as far as popularity goes.
The more amusing lines and the
catcher music of some of the others
have perennial appeal that is not
found so strongly in "Iolantle I"
Even at its premiere, followed by
run of IA months, it was felt that
the death Of Sullivan's mother and
his constant companion, interfered
with the full flow of his melodic in
vention. This may be so, and If it
is, the result Is much finer music
and harmonic material comparable
to some of his more serious compo-
sitions. There is also a more subtle
wit in Gilbert's text in fact, in
the whole plan of the work that
grows more apparent as the operetta
progresses.
1t requires a better quality of
voices in almost every role and in
this respect, the Columbia cast was
for the most part adequate The
chorus of fairies and that of the
Peers are important throughout and
the singers in these sections were of
pleasant vocal tone, very accurate
rhythmically and gay and lively in
their actions. Their costumes were
colorful and elaborate and very
satisfying was the fact that all the
fairies wings stayed in place. In
such matters, there. is little of the
amateur to be seen in the Column
bias production, where great care
and thought are expended on the
scenic effect.
The vocal honors go to attractive
Marjorie Brett, who sang the role
of Phyllis, for her voice is sweet
and true and well trained. Kath-
leen Hillyer's rich contralto, though
uneven, contributed some fine eff
fectS in the numbers given the
Queen of the Fairies. Both Stuart
McKinstry and Ches DiMaggio as

RADIO PHONE SERVICE
MAKES DEBUT

You'll soon be able to pick
up a phone in the lounge car,
while a train whisks you from
New York to Washington, and
chat with your chief salesman
or a friend anywhere from Pa
10 Alto to Painted Post.
Four leading eastern roads
chesapeake & Ohio, Penn
clivania, Baltimore & Ohio and
the New York Central - will
start this new "ship-to-shore"
phone service on trains in the
next few months. Travellers
will get a chance to try it for
the first time next Friday on
the Pennsy's congressional
Limited" and the B. & O.
"Royal Blue
A word of caution, though:
It's bringing back the old par
ty line in super-deluxe setting.
Anything you say can be heard
by all other mobile telephone
subscribers within rs miles.
Service will be available
from moving trains to any
phone connected with the Bell
System.
The Bell service-it's used
for motor vehicles and boats,
too-connects ordinary phone
lines with the radio frequency
of the mobile equipment. Here
is how it works:
Mr.. "a" picks up special
telephone handset in the
lounge car. This causes radio
signal to go out from the trains
antenna. 1t is picked up in
simultaneously by the nearest
relay station, where it is sent
automatically over telephone
lines to the nearest central ex-
change.
This signal summons the
mobile service OPERATOR Mr..
GA" gives the number he wants
to this operator, who connects
him with his party via tele-
phone lines.
If Mr.. GAS" Aunt Hannah
wants him aboard the train,
she dials or asks for the mobile
service operator. The operator
reaches the train this way:
First she calls the mobile op-
orator nearest the speeding
train by long distance tele-
phone; this second operator
then connects Aunt Hannah
with the train by radio, dial
ing it's number. A light flashes
and a bell rings at the tele-
phone aboard the train, and an
attendant rushes off to call Mr..
"A" to the phone.
Rates for the service have
not been finally set, but a
three minute conversation
probably will cost between 80
and 40 cents. To this will be
added the daytime person-to-
person long-distance rate, if
the call is intercity. The Bell
System will furnish and main
tain the equipment, the rail-
road paying an installation and
equipment rental charge.

Remember, this is not the
fellow who owns the farm. He
is just the "hired man." He
isn't organized by union boss
es, either, but the way his wag-
es have climbed since prewar
makes the gains of his CITY,
working brethren look like
peanuts.
On top of his S107 monthly
wage he usually gets a house,
and he gets milk, eggs, meat
free. Back in 1889 he got the
lodging and board too, but as
one hand told survey man re-
Gently, "That part of our in
come means an awful lot more
today"
Seasonal workers have bene-
fitted from the wage increases
along with regular hands. In
Ohio, the survey indicated,
strawberry pickers get five
cents a quart, against. three
cents prewar. Bean picking
brings rs cents a basket, COM
pared with prewar Is cents.
These figures usually aver
age $12 to SIS day, farm
owners point out. In some cas-
es they top $50 a day.
The word that there's mon
ey on the farms must be going
the rounds in the city, the
farmers think. "There are an
awful lot of the town lads
showing up looking for jobs"
one of them said.
This influx of workers has
had serious results in at least
two states. In Oklahoma, for
instance, there is a surplus of
job-hunters seeking spots dur
ing a record wheat harvest.
Farmers in many areas are
turning down unskilled work
ers. In Kansas farmers say the
"labor shortage that existed
during the war is over"
"City slickers looking for an
easy life are doomed to disap-
pointment," the farmers are
quick to add. An Indiana farm
er pointed this out when he
told the survey man, "My men
get to the barn now at 4:3O
a. m. and are done with the
evening chores at 6 p. m. They
get time off-for breakfast
and lunch"
While there are scattered
complaints of not enough farm
help in different parts of the
country, only in the south does
a shortage appear to be gen
eral.
In some sections of Georgia
from one-third to one-half of
the grain crops have been lost
due to lack of help. 1t is felt
that unless the situation i'm
proves, some cotton may be
lost.
But even in the SOUTH. farm
ers complain less about the
actual lack of workers than
about the quality of those they
get.
The worker on the farms to-
day is a highly desirable GUS
toner. He is right next door to
the average small community

The availability of good quality
protein feed ingredients, such as
cottonseed, linseed and soybean oil

possible for the Virginia dairyman
to use homegrown grains to better
advantage, the specialists explain.
Also, the oil meals may help to boil

y. S. Shrubs Among the Finest
Is Types Are Suitable for This Area,
But Which Is Best Is Debatable Matter
By w. n. Younomon

Every once in while we hear
some one use the phrase, ITS i'm
ported" as though that connoted
something extra. Maybe that is
the proper attitude when speaking
of china or oil paintings, but when
it comes to shrubs we should be
chary. Some of the finest shrubs
are native Americans, plants that
are adapted to our soils and cli-
mate.
Many lists have been published
of noteworthy American shrubs,
ana there is much debate as to just
which is the finest. Those dis
cussed below are grouped according
to adaptation, rather than as to
relative merits.
OF the shade-loving shruos the
fame azalea (Rhododendron calen-
dulaceum) is one Of the showiest.
A late blooming, large-flowered
shrub of good size Cup to 8 feeD, it
comes in colors ranging from a pale
lemon yellow to a gorgeous fame.
Very few of the nurseries offer the
flame azalea by colors, so it is Gus
tomary to select them when in
flower in the nursery. The fame
azalea will thrive in full sun, but
it Is better planted in light shade,
where its brilliant show will last
longer. Give it well-prepared
bed, one that contains quantities
of leaf mold.
Carolina Rhododendron.
The Carolina rhododendron Rho-
dodendron carolinianum) is COM
paratively low-growing plant, sell
dom more than or feet in this
area. 1t is free Towering and Is
quite tolerant Of growing site. 1t
will tolerate much more sunlight
than most of the other species and
hybrids, but does best in a light
shade. The symmetrical bushes,
with their relatively small leaves,
are neat and trim in appearance.
The abundant pink bloom is always
attractive. Give them lots of leaf
mold when planting and an all
nual dressing of oak leaves.
Many gardeners are especially
fond of the mountain laurel (Kal-
mia latifolia) because of the rich
bright green of the foliage and the
beautiful display of flowers each
spring While this shrub does very
well in full sun in properly pre-
pared soil zone that does not dry
OUT it does even better in light
10 medium shade. There is a
tendency for them to be leggy if
in shady situation, but the
knarled trunks and knees are so
interesting that this is seldom
considered a fault. In purchasing
the mountain laurel it is wise to
procure young plants and then to
cut them back severely, so that they
will develop top in keeping with
the size of the root system. They
