AMERICAN MAIDS' HOLD OWN WITH FOREIGN SINGERS Present Opera Season Brings Unusually Large Number Forward. Bti NEA Service CHICAGO, Jan. 7.—American maids with American-made voices are giving Imported tra-las the runaround In a merry race for supremacy- There .is proof In the debut this season of Yankee-bred songbirds with the Chicago Civic Opera Company here. With ample funds to pick with and U the world to pick from, it is a signal honor that the opera guardians should go about the cities and villages of America first of all in their quest for stars. Heretofore, Europe has been the hunting grounds of most opera establishments. Employment of for-eign-born and schooled artists to charm the tiara-wearers in the front boxes has been the regular thing. But little Florence Misgen, one of this season’s Chicago Opera recruits came fresh to the operatic stage from the seclusion of her convent school. The father who gave her his fond blessings is a country storekeeper at Prescott, Wis. Won Hearing, Fame . Florence is tall, beautiful and a red head. In her idyllic surroundings she was a stranger to paint, powder and lipstick until coming to the big city for the first time. No hairdresser ever had touched her locks, and she got the big trial simply by writing a girlish letter asking for a hearing. They write her name now in incandescent glare, as one of the season’s lyric sopranos. With Florence came Anna Hamlin, daughter of the late tenor, George Hamlin. Anna is a Chicago girl. Lorna Doone Jackson, find No. 3, was born in Marissa, 111., a small hamlet near St. Louis. Opera has been her goal ever since she was a little girl and became inspired by Madame Calve, a famous singer, who later took Lorna to France as her guest and pupil Louise Loring, the fourth American girl, comes from Providence, R. I. She studied music in New York and made her first operatic debut at Flume in Bellini’s "Norma,” in 1912. Jewish Cantor Fifth These four and Albert Rappaport, former cantor in a Chicago Jewish synagogue, give America five new representatives in the Chicago opera ensemble, as compared with only seven recruits from the whole of Europe. Practically all the more important roles of the local company, which requires a fortune yearly for its maintenance, are being filled by Americans’. There are Mary Garden, Charles Hackett, Charles Marshall and others who are giving the imported singers the keenest kind of competition. Just now the race is neck and

neck. The Europeans are retreating, and where they held a 60-40 advantage five years ago, numerically they now may be said to be on but a 60-50 basis, with each year adding greater handicap to confront them. America’s hopes for exclusively American-sung opera may never fully be realized, but American talent certainly is coming into its own. (Copyright, 1926, NEA Service Inc.)

There has been a great increase lately in ear-piercing, a fashion that went out of style several years ago when screw earrings were introduced. The ear piercers are doing a big business.

iNsorar STRONG FIGHT ON SELLING OF SHIPS Records One Constructive Piece of Work for Present Congress. Times Washington Bureau. lxli Neto York Avenue WASHINGTON, Jan. 7. The one constructive piece of work undertaken so far at this session of Congress is Senator Hiram Johnson’s investigation of the proposed sale of the American Merchant Marine. Johnson intends that it shall be even more constructive before It Is ended. “We have already accomplished two things,.” says Johnson. “We stopped the sale of the vessels jq>t as It was to be consummated. And We have aroused an intense interest in the creation of a merchant marine. It is hoped that the committee will do something more than ordinary committees. I don’t intend that it shall simply fade out at the end of Its hearings. It will attempt to put its views in writing and present a definite policy of some kind for the creation and permanent maintenance of a merchant marine.” Testimony brought out by Johnson at hearings indicated the nature of the fight against continued Government operation of the ships which netted the United States sl,600,000 profit during the past six months. These three causes wore assigned

marine: First, apathy and lack of knowledge of the situation. Second, the fact that the only Americans who have any knowledge of operating ships on the north Atlantic are men who work for the big companies that own large amounts of foreign tonnage. Third, and most important. Johnson believes, is the propaganda that flows out from big competing lines on the north Atlantic. These companies have, organizations that, spread completely over the country. In many cases they are allied with big trunk line railroads and the spirit of those organisations is to decry the possibilities of building and operating American ships. They have huge advertising accounts and they extend their influences still farther throught interlocking directorates. “Tills situation precludes us from doing that which is essential for the national defense nnd which is essential for our economic wellbeing,” says Johnson. The shipping hoard proposed to sell five ships of the United States lines for $200,000 each, which is about half their present market value if used on any route, and much less when their established trade is taken into account. It proposed also to lease the Leviathan and four companion ships for ten years at a rental of SI,OOO a ship a month. That would reduce the income of the United States from its vessels from approximately $3,000,000 a year to $60,000. Johnson halted the sale the night before it was to bo made by rushing a resolution through the Senate.

DR. W. B. CALDWELL AT THE AGE OF 63 To Dr. W. B. Caldwell, of Monticello. 111., a practicing physician for 47 years, it seemed cruel that so many constipated infants and children had to be kept constantly “stirred up” and half sick by taking cathartic pills, tablet!?; salts, calomel and nasty oils. While he knew that constipation was the cause of nearly all children’s little ills, he did not believe that a sickening “purge” or “physic” was necessary. In I>r. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin he discovered a laxative which helps to establish natural bowel “regularity” even if the child is chronically constipated. Dr. Caldwell’s Syrup Pepsin not only causes a gentle, easy
