to drop out of the company
through illness and was replaced
by Robert Simon, the understudy

A few cancellations, all of which
were quickly gobbled up by wait

Simon's work, plus the brilliant

Negro children up for adoption here

parents, according to Miss Jessie
Condit, executive secretary Of the

She said this problem is not one
limited to Newark alone. but extends

of this situation, she said. Is the
lack of economic stability among

Portrait Of A Great Lady
BY CYNTHIA LOWRY
Mp NeMsfeatnres Writer

Mary Garden has discovered a
secret. She knows how to grow old
the happy way.
With more than quarter Of a
century behind her as an almost
legendary figure of an opera star,
1t would be easy for her to sink
into contemplative retirement in
her Aberdeen, Scotland, home.
There would be memoirs of fuss
with, pleasant recollections of the
golden days. And they were golden.
That isn't Miss Gardens way.
She occasionally looks back, but
most Of the time she's thinking all
about the future. Right now, Miss
Garden is On her first American
visit in years and riding high on the
lecture circuit. She's past 20, and
as full of ideas as a youngster.
She was an overnight success
after her debut in Paris at the turn
of the century. America took her to
its heart in 1907. Her name was a
household word. Kings paid hOm-
age to her beauty and her fire.
"In 1881, it was finished" she
said the other day. 81 stopped"
She never looked back on her
opera career, she never regretted
thing. Decisive in all things, Miss
Garden retired from opera, but not
from life.
"I'm very busy" she said. "I'm
always looking for talent in young
Sters. There are two voices in Paris
right now that show great promise.
Then there's a great deal to be done
to keep up with the world"
Like Grace Moore early in her
career, a steady stream of young
singers ask Miss Garden for analys-
es of their voices, an honest evalu-
elton of their pOtentialities.

tell. Three years of study. If some
one tells me they've been studying

still not sure, then I'm sure they
haven't got what it takes.

three years. The first year you are

SKY SIGNS
w OR n HES IS
FOR FARMS
NJ SAN STMMERLIN


AP NeWsloaturos
CHAPEL HILL, a. c. The
heavens provide no crystal balls
for farmers.
Despite this fact. throughout
the world men who plow the earth
like men who pillow the seas have
sought TO chart their courses by
signs in the sky.
Farmers down the centuries have
sazed at the heavens and wonder
ed. These mortals in due time have
come 70 bestow upon the stars, the
moon and the sun great powers ov-
er the planting and harvesting Of
crops.
Ignorant Of the nature Of things,
they have cloaked these heavenly
bodies and the signs Of the Zodiac
with mysterious and aWesOme quail
tiles which in truth do not exist
The folly Of this practice Is
shown up clearly by scientific fact.
One of the nations best auth0ri-
ties on this clouded issue is DR..
Roy X. Marshall, director Of the
magnificent new $3,000,000 Plane
tarium here at the University of
North Carolina. An outstanding sky
specialist, DR.. Marshall has been
described as the best planetarium
man in America and is producer of
a weekly television show consider
ed tops in its field.
Although the heavens provide
no crystal balls for farmers" de-
clared the genial sky gazer, "the
whole business did begin in legit-
innate fashion"
DR.. Marshall explained that sew
eral thousand years ago there were
no calendars, and even a few hun
dred years ago they largely were
useless because most people could
not read.
Primitive people seeking a me-
asure for passing time latched on
to the moon" he said. "They had
soon discovered that this sky Ian
tern went through about II com
plete phases between planting sea-
sons"
The moon thereupOn became the
calendar fer the ancients not be-
cause it influenced crops but be-
cause it marked the planting sea-
s0Ds.
Ignorant Of this innocent origin
however, farmers in succeeding
centuries endowed the moon with
powers unfounded by fact. Many
for example, allege that the moon
has great magnetic qualities. For
this reason, they plant leaf crops
such as cabbage in the light of the
moon so that the moon will pull up
the leaves. Conversely, root crops
are planted during the dark of the
moon so the roots won't be pulled
up.
"In truth" DR.. Marshall said, ga
farmer walking through his fields
has more pulling effect on his crop
than does the moon. Besides, the
moon is UP there in the sky even
during the dark of the moon. You
Just can't see it, that's all"

couldn't. / made a choice, because
am an operate being. You must
give your entire self to a career
and you can't share it with any
thing else"
Did Miss Garden ever regret she
had chosen the career instead ol
marriage?
Never" the tiny, trim Miss Gar
den said definitely. Il have never
wanted to change my decision"
Age is what you make it, she be-
lieves. She pays no attention to the
march Of years.
