CHICAGO OPERA IS DEDICATED WITH SPLENDOR Samuel Insull Goes Home as Audience Cheers for Him. BY EARL J. JOHNSON United Pres* Staff Correspondent CHICAGO, Nov. s.—Two gorgeous pageants, one of Egyptian splendor along the Nile and the other of society and fashion in a modern American city, ended shortly after midnight today, when Chicago completed the dedication of its $20,000,000 opera house. The death refrain of Aida and Radames in their living tomb on the stage and the bawling of taxi men along the portico outside the skyscraper “opera home” marked the completion of a social and cultural triumph that is certain to go down in Chicago’s history as one of Its greatest. Display of Finery So enthusiastic were the 3,600 music lovers and representatives of the city’s old guard society over the opening of the new building and the artistic performance of Rosa Raisa, Charles Marshall and their supporting cast that the dedicatory ceremony was continued for more than an hour after the time scheduled for the final curtain. Although the critics said that the artists missed not a note in Verdi’s masterpiece, there were attractions at the opening more fascinating than music. Leaders of fashion from the gold coast put on such a aisplay of finery as to dim the radiance of the Princess Amnerls herself. The thirty-six boxes, ranging across the back of the auditorium, were aglow with the warm luxuries of brocade and velvet, diamonds and gold. Third Curtain Call Samuel Insi 11, multimillionaire of public utilities, turned out to be the financial prima donna of the evening because of his success in bringing grand opera in Chicago into such a rich setting. By the end of the third act of “Aida” the fashionable audience had become so informal in its enthusiasm that shouts of “Mr. Insull! Mr. In—Sull!” rose from the orchestra seats and mingled with the applause for Rosa Raisa, who, at that time, was taking her third curtain call and receiving three baskets of flowers. Finally an usher played the beam of a flashlight over the golden crescent of boxes and brought it to rest upon the chair reserved for the utilities magnate. The chair was empty. In his hour of triumph the president of the opera had gorte home.

UNEMPLOYMENT SITUATION HAS BRITAINJMIED Project of Labor Government Is Accorded Weak Reception. BY HENRY T. RUSSELL United Press Staff Correspondent LONDON, Nov. s.—The plans of Great Britain’s labor government to relieve the present unemployment situation. Although supported by a I vote of confidence in the House of Commons, Monday night, were accorded a none too enthusiastic reception today by the press, which | saw slight hope of avoiding a dis- * tressing winter crisis.. The house’s vote came after J. H. I Thomas, Lord Privy Seal, had outlined the government’s plans for spending 42,000,000 pounds sterling (approximately $204,540,000) on

treated externally A GENERATION ago when Vicks Vapoßub was originated, jLx. the idea of treating colds without “dosing” was almost unheard of. Today, mote and more colds are treated this modern way, and the whole trend of medical practice is away from needless “dosing.” Mothers of young children especially appreciate Vicks, because it checks colds without risk of upsetting delicate little stomachs. Os course it is equally good for adults. Just rubbed on, Vicks acts through the skin like a poultice or plaster; and, /at the same time, it gives off medicated vapors which are inhaled direct to the inflamed air-passages. K§jK3|g§jßßH| s To keep pace with the ever-increasing demand for this better method of treating colds, the Wm. W jjmL famous Vick slogan has again been changed, as there are now “Over 26 Million Jars Used Yearly.” q VJSKS - 31/ OVER +? MILLION JAR S USED YEARLY

public and semi-public works to relieve the unemployment situation in the next few years and additional projects involving expenditures of several million pounds which would be announced later. No record vote was taken by the house, which merely approved a supplementary appropriation of $50,000 for Thomas’ office. It was asked by him as a test of the house’s approval of his policy. The press was not the only critic of Thomas’ speech. David LloydGeorge, former premier and Liberal leader, criticised the Lord Privy Seal for his recent Canadian trip as a "supersalesman.” Lloyd-George said: “It is incredi&le to me that Thomas should have'thought it necessary to leave Great Britain for several weeks before any of his schemes had matured, before he really had had time to think them out. “Thomas should have sent some equally good man to Canada who could have reported to him. It is a serious thing and I can not understand the prime minister permitting him to do it.” The Liberal Daily News today described Lord Thomas’ Canadian visit as “apparently a gigantic bubble.”

LOWTHER IS SUED $25,000 Asked for Accident Which Killed Two. Richard L. Lowther. attorney and receiver for the defunct J. F. Wild & Cos. State bank, today was sued for $25,000 damages because his son, Richard Jr., 17, was alleged to have been responsible for fatally injuring two persons in an auto crash Jan. 7, at Fifty-second street and Central avenue. . Plaintiff in the suit, which was filed in a superior court, was John Underwood of Jamestown, whose mother and father were victims in the accident. Young Lowther has been tried for the offense and acquitted through an alibi that he had “smallpox” as he drove the car. Police said the youth was traveling at a speed in excess of fifty miles an hour. Victims in the accident were Mr. and Mrs. Julius Underwood. Young Lowther received only minor injuries. A man’s brain attains its maximum weight at the age of 20 years.
