of operation" and improved types
of plant and equipment" 1t says
wasteful duplication of effort is
avoided, each company gets help
in solving its own problems. and
Improvements In the practices of
each are made available to all. The
service, it contends, is cheaper than
if 1t were obtained from independ-
ent firms.
But some State commissions have
pointed out that any increases
granted by them automatically
boost A. T. and T. take" from the
license fee without any cores pond
ing increase in service to the sub
sidiary. And they contend funds
paid by subsidiary companies to
A. T. and T. on a percentage basis
bear no direct relation to the value
of services received by the COM
panies.
Supply Contract Questioned.
On the second point of criticism,
several commissions questioned
whether prices charged to telephone
companies by Western Electric were
not too high, but did not make
disallowances on that point. Their
national association is studying the
contract.
The Bell System contends the
Western Electric arrangement pro-
vides equipment at prices lower than
the operating subsidiaries would
have to pay if they bought from in
dependent producers. 1t also con-
tends there are great advantages
in Standardization of equipment and
in better planned production.
On the third point, some of the
commissions suggested the Bell
System should get more of its new
money for expansion through bonds
bearing Low interest, rather than
through sale of stock or debentures
convertible to stock calling for a
higher rate of return on the money.
A. T. and T. takes the position
that the greater the proper ion of
debt capital company has out
standing, the more it will have to
pay when it needs additional funds,
and the greater return stock in
vestors will demand because of their
greater risk. The company also
says the fixed charges represented
by interest on bonds could, if too
high, become a dangerous liability
during a business depression.

Puccini's Madame Butterfly"
rained out on Wednesday, was given
last night at the Water Gate before
a crowd that topped the audience
record of the Lyric Opera Associ-
atoms season so far. 1t also was
the best staged of the productions,
the many difficulties in scenic effect
required in this opera being most
skillfully overcome. Not overbur-
dened with attempts at Celebrations
the staging adhered to the require
ments as well as was possible on
the barge. This, together with the
variegated colors of the costumes,
created a pleasing effect furthered
by the excellent performance of the
principal singers.
The first act moved somewhat
cumbersomely and with less assur-
ance than marked the final portions
OF the opera. But Eugene Conley,
IN the role Of Pinkerton, infused life
into 1t through his fine singing and
acting. His voice is viril tenor
and by his ability to put fire into
whatever he sings. carried the duet
scene with Butterfly to a splendid
climax. He was not given much
assistance in this opening scene by
Eva DeLuca who took the part of
Butterfly after singing Violetta in
"Traviata' for the second time the
previous night.
Opportunities Missed.
Miss DeLuca took hold of the
role much better in the second act
and gave moving and we'll planned
performance in the scene which
makes gruelling demands on the
artist both vocally and interpre-
lively. She does not invest her por-
trayal with much charm, and the
numerous opportunities of the first
act to stress Cio-Cio-San's youth
and naivete were not seized. But
when it came to the more emotional
embodiment of the following act

White Bass Run
At Buckeye Lake

The white bass are running
again at Buckeye Lake due to
the recent heavy rains and fish
ermen were urged this week to
get in on the fun.
The normal spring run reached
its peak about three weeks ago
but this second run apparently
promises to be as good as the
first.
They travel in schools during
the runs and are found in the
shallow. sandy or rock bottom
areas near the shore. Once the
school is located, the angler
quickly becomes a busy fellow
for the bass will usually bite un-
til the school is fished out. Most
popular bait used are shiny spin
ners with a piece of bacon or
pork rind or live minnows.

Notice You
Fishermen

Two would be anglers, who
in the past have listened to many
a fisherman's tales, have turned
the procedure bit. They are now
telling the tales and swear it's
the truth.
The two new ardent anglers
are Clem Holewinski, vice pres
ident of Local IL and Laurel
Goerlich, attorney, associated
with Edward Lamb.
Fishing at Clare Lake, Mich,
Clem was the first to fulfill a
dream, or should we say a fish
erman's usual yarn. He swears
to the truth when he says they
came up with Is blue Gil's
apiece plus pike, within a span of
three hours.
Glenn caught the largest, a
five pound pike, measuring 80
inches. Other pike catches varied
from two to three pounds. Oh
yes, we forgot to mention, the
boys will explode their vocal
cords to tell that they were
catching the Blue Gill's two at
time.
So fellows, warning to those
who were feeding the two new
enthusiastic anglers with fishing
yarns, look out, they're out to
get revenge, so be prepared to
listen. And they have the fish to
prove it.
P.S. The story will be repeated
on the Snag and Strike program
over radio station WTOD, Fri
daV Gosh il must be realistic.

infested peas, and weevil-
seed in Storage.
According to David Brannon,
extension entomologist at Wash
ington State College, the control
measure for weevils in either
dry or green pea fields Is the
same. He recommends the use of
IS to 20 pounds of 5 per cent DOT
dust per acre except in cases
where the pea ensilage or pea
hay is to be fed to dairy cattle.
In such cases .srotenone dusts
should be used. When DOT is
used, Brannon says, it should be
applied in the same manner and
under the same conditions as re-
commended for rotenone.
APHID CONTROL
For control Of pea aphids the
most promising materials are a
S per cent DOT dust plus l or
2 per cent volatile Oil or 4 per
cent DOT fused in sulfur or a
S per cent DOT dust with sui
fur. For aphid applications should
be at the rate of 40 pounds per
acre.
