| don't believe there was a
happier person in the world at
that time. March 2S, 1913, was
the date set for his arrival at
the conservatory.
Last month, while singing for
his teacher, he sang too high and
burst one of his vocal cords. He
was rushed to a specialist and his
vocal cord was sewed together
with cat gut. And then for him the
world was dark. He heard the
words, you will not be able to
sing again for possibly a year or
two"
Yes, that's the way it was, just
a short time ago, water was in his
eyes signifying joy and success
Now tears were in his eyes because
it would be all over as far as sing
ing goes, without singing. That's
what he thought the last part Of
July. The cat gut was removed
and one week later he began to

tween our Mayor Humphrey and
Senator Taft Hartless) Ball next
year. Mr.. Ball can get by in
his stories to the press that the
Taft-Hartley bill is set to help la
Dor. Yes, that statement can
only fool some Of the people but
it won't go with the working kind
who pays his monthly dues. D..
Labor will fight all the officials
who voted for this slave labor bill
and, as | said, | can hardly wait
to hear Humphrey take the senator
to the cleaners even before voting
time.

a story Of human interest and those
Of you that are not the "interest"
type, turn to the advertising col
umns and read advertisements
awhile.
Not every person is made Of that
old go-to-it and stick-to-it mate
rial, and therefore those of US that
don't have it look with envy and
praise toward a person that does
have what it takes. I'm referring
to a fellow that most of us know
and yet know so little about.
He didn't quite finish high school
when he decided he wanted to be
a singer. So all year long he
worked twelve hours or more a day
to save enough money to take mu-
sic lessons. At the end of a long
hard year he had saved all the
money he needed at that time for
a music course at MacPhail School
Of Music. This is the point that
meant hard study and long practice,
because for this boy, over $3.50
meant a whole lot. He started TAX
ing lessons twice a week, for one
hour and a half. But as soon as
some talent was discovered in him,
his teacher had him come eight
hours a day for three and a half
years.
While many Of us were at par
ties, dances, football games, and
such, he studied every day and
night when he was not at school
or doing his school homework.
Like all of us he enjoys a good
time, but he kind of thought he
would wait until he had mas
tered even a greater JOY than a
good time-his ambition.
March %, he had completed his
course and had passed all his tests
with high marks. In the same
he was called to the office
of his teacher. When he walked
in, there stood five or six people
with beaming faces. For a few
moments he could not understand
what had happened-that is, until
they showed him a scholarship
check for 81 ,lO8 to the Boston Con-
servatory of Music, one Of the best
music schools in the world. What
could he say?
Slowly he sat down, tears in the
corners of both eyes, a lump in
his throat, a feeling that perhaps
many of us will never know.
SUCCESS.
All his life he had dreamed of
going, but knew that it was i'm
possible, because Of the high cost.
But there before him stood the

ABOUT
EVERY THING
BY Percy Villa

It's good to be back with this
ancient Underwood" of mine,
pounding away at this column. 1t
was good to be away but it is even
better 20 be back. AS each day

litical chatter is coming upon US
So we add:
That the left and right wingers
Of the Farmer Labor Democratic
parry will kiss las time goes by"

phrey their blessing. .. (They're
lucky that such a good man is

things are being done in the coun-
ell. =. One day it looks good for
him, the next day it doesn't; the
next day it's good again, etc. va

That Tony Stecher The is the
best all-'round athlete promoter in

boxing and wrestling program next
month. His chief hope is find
ing another Jackie Graves and
Bronko Nagurski. -.

recent A. B. Cassius license dis
pute. =. | say that this is wrong.
The officials, instead, should be
voted out. "a few bad eggs don't

needed for a long, long time.

That I'm happy to report that
those two rookie" aldermen,
George Johnson and Jerry Egan
have done an excellent job in their
two months in office even surpris-
ing some Of the old timers around
the council.
That the ADA american Demo-
cratic Action will soon show some
of the other political organizations
what the word fight" means.
That George Phillips and Bob
Wishart are my favOrite people
among all the labor leaders. They
are for the unions and have done
some good work. But what
gets us is that many of their
elected friends use" labor only
for their own purposes.
That it has been two years since
we first predicted that it'll be Mayor
Humphrey against Senator Taft
Hartless) Ball. The match is
all set except the final announce
ment and the Taft Hartley lover
will learn a few tricks from the

learn in Washington. Don't say we
