The audience Immediately caught
the spirit of her "West African
Lament" for it was done in a
very expressive quality. Her Eng
lish group was not as convincing
as her French group because a
rather tentative Interpretation was
suggested. But in her encores, she
delivered a selection from "Porgy
and Bess" and a nice little morsel
from "The Gold Diggers Of 1888"
In these nice musical feeling
and mood, notably in the middle
range, was noticed. This intrinsic
quality retained much of the beau
ty of her early career All in all,
it vas a most enjoyable musical
evening with Miss Moten.

Eta Moten at
Her Best For
k Concert

BY EDGAR ROCHE CLARK
JACKSON, Miss. (ANP) When
asked what three qualities make a
great singer, Verdi once replied,
"First, a good voice; secondly, a
good voice; and thirdly, a good
voice." Unlike Verdi, I am remind
ed that other qualities are neces-
sary for success on the concert
stage, and Eta Moten has those
other qualities.
The visual as well as the aural
must be recognized today. After
an astounding variety of musical
experiences-stage, screen, and
the concert stage-Miss Moten ap-
peared without undue starin. Her
voice has been sturdy enough to
withstand the varied vocal demand
of textures in accordance with
shifting moods, and in spite of
her years on the stage, I was re-
lieved by her sincerity and the alb
sence Of any unnecessary theatre
cal devices.
In the simplicity Of her style
and manner, Miss Moten ap-
proaches the ideal; but in her
opening group, before she had
warmed up, she created the air of
aesthetic distance.
The occasion, last week, gave
Jackson music lovers the opport-
unity to hear Eta Moten at her
best. Her voice is naturally low
in. quality, so that her tones often
seemed farther down the pitch con-
tinuum than they actually were.
The top notes at times, though not
without a mixture of admirable
sorority, were pinched. This was
obvious in Tschaikowsky's "Le Ro-
nance de Pauline" when she
struck the A flat.
She was at her best in the care
fully chosen French group. They
were marked by much beauty of
diction and clarity of tone, and
considerable communitive artistry.

Firestone Has Built An
Empire Within Liberia

He cleared the area, felled tn,
trees, and planted rubber. He bull
roads, houses, and bridges. He Sc
up electric and water supply
garages, factories, stores, and of,
fees. All this is said to have cost
about $2O,O0O,0OO.
The program reached a temper.
airy halt in the early ZOOS because
of the depression when rubber
prices fell to four cents a pound.
Starting again in 1888, the plana-
tation agreed to try to soften the
interest charges of $35O,OOO a
year on the Liberian loan.
Firestone Plantations, the firm
name in Liberia, agreed to pay a
one percent excise tax. This tax
rose from a few thousand dollars
a year to a record $4,000 in
1916. The company pays this in
New York to Liberals account in
the National City bank.
Few American owned enterpri-
ses in foreign lands have been as
successful as this fabulous business
Of the Firestones. It is estimated
that their profits from Liberia be-
fore American income taxes have
exceeded $50,OO0,0OO. The entire
income of the republic for that
period was substantially smaller.
This company has brought bene-
fits to the nation. It established
a splendid hospital for it's en-
ployees. In 1916, Harvey Fire
stone Jr., announced the creation
Of an Institute of Tropical Medi-
cine and donated $25O,OOO fol
the study of diseases of that and
surrounding areas.
Schools have been built on the
plantations. Firestone pays the
teachers, selected by the govern.
ment. Until recently the teachers
were paid about $50 a month. As
late as 1915, the Firestone edu-
cation budget did not exceed &c..
900 a year.
A forward step has been taken
by the company, however, in the
hiring of the dynamic Rev. Sam
Smith to direct a division of edu.
cation and welfare.
Firestone's taxes, although re-
presenting but a tiny franction Of
the firms volume of business &C
counted for a fairly large percent
of Liberals revenue for 1919
This percentage is less now as new
enterprises are moving in ant
business activity is increasing
Because of Liberals new income
taxes on all business, it's income
from Firestone is now in the mil
lion dollar class.
In general it can be said tina
Firestone offers a concrete Elk
ample of what can be achieved il
Liberia. The Bomi Hills Mimi,
company, the large scale coco'
plantations planned by the Liberi'
company and the success Of tn
new port, finest in West Africa
offer other examples.

on the gigantic Firestone Rubber
Company enterprise in Liberia. 1t
is another of the series of articles
on the West African Republic)
CLAUDE A. BARNETT
MONROVIA, Liberia (ANP)-
Whenever you mention Liberia to
many people in America they i'm
m~ediately think of Firestone and
rubber. This is natural because
the F~irestones, the late Harvey
ST., and Harvey Jr., plus a bril-
liant coterie of assistants have de-
Veloped an enterprise so gigantic
in scope and efficient in product
ion that it's business volume ex-
ceeds many times that of the
country which houses it.
So huge are the Firestone plan
tations that they employ more Lii
berians than all other business en-
terprises in the country and the
government as we'll. More than
10000 Liberians work for this
great organization which during
the last world war produced 80
percent of all the natural rubber
available to America and her al
lies.
1t was in 1925 that Harvey Fire
stone, seeking to break the British
monopoly on natural rubber, sell
ected Liberia for an experiment
in growing rubber Independently.
This program, if successful, would
free American rubber and tire
manufacturers from the tight car
tel which at times forced rubber
prices as high as $1.25 a pound.
The British already had proved
that rubber would grow in Liberia
by operating in Mount Barclay.
In 1926, Firestone negotiated a
99-year concession from the Lii
berian government with Charles
Dunbar Burgess King, president.
His firm through this contract
controlled more than a million
acres of land at a rental of six
cents an acre.
Firestone is literally sovereign
within the limits of the concession
through virtue of numerous extra
legal privileges. The company does
it's own policing. All machinery,
tools, supplies, buildings, fran
chises, rights and incomes were
free Of taxes, imposts, or levies.
The company could seek labor
throughout the nation or import
if Liberian workers we're scarce.
White workers we're limited to l.
500.
Through the National City Bank
in New York, Firestone, with the
aid of the U. S. State department,
arranged a loan Of five million
dollars at Z percent interest for
Liberia. This enabled the African
nation to consolidate it's debts
scattered among several countries.
This loan agreement called for
a financial adviser agreeable to
the American government. This
advisor has charge of Liberian
customs and advises on all finan-

It is a better street where on
you live, if your being on it has
lifted its dignity and helped the
neighbors better to live.
If from your doorstep kindly
deeds eve flow, all Of your way
faring visitors will learn the fine
things they ought to know.
Yea, there will be no feelings
of regret after your warm hand
they shake, for new thoughts and
happy emotions in their hearts you
will awake.
There will be the consciousness
of having met a real soul whose
delight is to live for others, and
this begets the thought that we all
should live as brothers.
And if on your street there are
others like you who take time to
spread daily cheer, even children
will learn of this fine neighbor-
hood and come from far and near.
It is a grand thing to know
where the real people are -.
grander still if they live on your
street; but the climax is reached
when they say you're the one who
really makes things complete.
Even adding, that your house
and all you possess seems to be
the spending change of every
neighbor, and that you do things
for folks, out of love for them
and not to curry favor.
Real persons as these are hard
to find, and when such move on
your street there is then a chance
to create the finer things and all
evils to defeat.
Then together in unison and
terms Of love, real heights can be
gained . Racial hate and strife
set aside, and harmony and peace
maintained.
My, what a heavenly blessing to
live on such a street, where man,
dumb beasts and flowers seem
cheerfully to meet.
It is all because the spirit of
God in one real soul rings true,
that everything up and down your
street looks so very fine to you.
So light your candle when the
way is dark. F.. you to the weary
give comfort and rest; you try to
help your neighbors along . then
see if your street isn't the best.

September, after A years serv-
ice, have lived in 80 different
houses during their years of
marriage. Over period of
years. they acquired pieces of
furniture and decorative items
in many parts of the world.
while the house was being
completed, we had some qualms
about how some of the pieces
would fit in, since they repre-
sent a variety of periods and
styles" she said.
Yet when we moved in, we
were perfectly satisfied with
the way things worked out and
feel that if you like a honey,
informal house you can have it
with modern architecture as
well as with any other, and
have the other advantages,
too"
