The possible lrtues of such a performance

Vocally sho was hardly at her best, and
the shallow und pompous "lnfellce'.' aria of
Mendelssohn, her opening number, revealed
some of those weaknesses of the upper regis

one of the greatest of contraltos succumbed
to soprano ambitions. In the phraso
"Ah, rltorna" she wandered ery perceptibly
frtin tho key. Much better results were ob

lower, and by their themes enabling the

such Impressive lrlllty in grand opera.
"The Wandorer's Night Hong," a poetic

Wagner's "Parsifal," was beautifully given.
"Three CJIpsles" received Uvld dramatic ex

too Infrequently heard on the concert stage.

So by the time I had pinned It on at tho
most fetching angle, tied on a sheer meshed

Hut had I not always read to keep men
waiting.' It was another one of those things
that ou learn. (.Vol that I had many op

So Hie Captain was anno id slightly.
Though he concealed it under a nice manner

Tho Captain slatted the car. Wc vvete
soon running smoothly ovtr the State road.
Lovely gllmp'es of countty from the tldo of
the car Honing lilue hills and the blacl: of

It was so easy to tulk, too. The constant

At least In the eatly stages. Two people

We fell ahnott as If ue were old friends.
"This Is the second time in my fc that,

I looked up at the Captnlu 1 expected to

The av,iag' southerner was brought tip on

"mled flour law," a law which prevented

of Hurope had nol taken a fancv to corn as

In support of the law sustaining un
inKod wheat fluiir, Assistant Secretary Carl
Vi ooman, of the Depaitnient of Agriculture,
was quoted lie said: "Thtre aio few evils
that could lm greater than fur anything to

The new law which 1- to give mcieased

with the I'.'IC utterances of thu Assistant
Secielary of Agriculture Hut tbtie Is un
oilier witness whose word will lend addi

W. Wiley, tho famous puio food chemist,
fornittly or the Depaitnient of Agrlculline.
told the Wnjs and Mtans .Committee that
anything ti tiding "lo Intel fere with the de
velopment of lilt the tissues of the bod Is a
dietetic cilnie": and us to wheat broad, he
added, 'if vie allow- the stuff of Ufa to be

Convention of se'entlflo men. but that utter he
gut through more than one distinguished
foiilgiit-r .mm to him and askut In nil

Li ad was riitually used ns a human diet
in the I'nlteil States He satd they could
hardly believe it. The tiouule Willi corn

for chlldien. "Corn," he said. "Is a dietetic

jour children nothing but com bread, thej

how mi'ch more qulcklj will children dlo If

all that Is suitable lor food and then feed
them the slardiy tciiulnder. 1 tell you, gen.
tlemen, It Is .1 tin eat against the children."
Doctor Wiley contended thai coin was ie

pleaded for healthy men and women, ana
pointed tu tho vast minibus of tliosu plij-ni-cally
unfit for war service. "What Is the
use ot calling us to arms If we nie unablo

This, of course, was a severe indictment
of the use of corn as a diet for the new
generation. It may be considered In connec

"Conservotfood In the United States, and save
wheat for tho Allies."
