Newspaper Page TextWHO’S newT 1 THIS WEEK... By Lemuel F. Parton FVTTVTTVVTVTTrvrr^YFVvVrV A Modern Cellini. NEW YORK.—Pietro Mas cagni, the greatest living Italian composer, was quite angry and unforgiving about America after his tour of 1902. He has simmered down a lot with the years, and now, at sev enty-four, he plans another tour this summer, with the orchestra of the famous La Scala opera house. It is, of course, big news in the musical world, but the shaggy, old composer probably will land on the news pages, too, as he has away of touching off excitement of one sort or other—not always musical. First off, there was that unhappy business about the maestro’s shirts —on that 1902. tour. The laundries tore them up or put saw edges on the collars, or stuck them full of ; pins. Signor Mascagni was so en- | raged that, if the laundry hadn’t been a bloodless corporation, he would have challenged it to a duel. A secondary irritation was the fact that the tour, in spite of the signor’s great genius, was one of the most elaborate busts in musical history. He brought over a big orchestra, with a guarantee of SIO,OOO a week for eight weeks. There were in ternal rows and wrangles, battles with managers, bickering and back talk, with, finally the deportation of the orchestra players as aliens li able to become a public charge. There was a fierce tangle of law ^^uits, and ever since then Signor Hfefascagm’s graying, bushy hair has ^gDristled a bit at mention of Amer- Vica. It was only two years ago y that he was saying that New York’s Metropolitan Opera house was all right as a training school, but “not much good for opera.” He was a baker's son, helping his father in the bakery. He slipped a tiny statue of the Virgin in a loaf of bread. A rich woman customer broke her front tooth on it, and, dodging his angry parent, young Pietro kept on going—an itinerant player and student. He was unknown in Italy in 1902, when his Cavalleria Rusticana was produced. The next day he was as well known and as conspicuous as Vesuvius, acclaimed as the suc cessor of Verdi, experiencing what we might call a Lindberghian tri umph. He is a Renaissance man, a veritable Cellini, with his pen chant for life in the grand manner, quick on the draw, impatient with dolts and laggards, still boiling with creative energy. He was quite away over to the left in 1922, but finally made his peace with Mussolini. Mussolini had promised senatorial togas for both Puccini and Mascagni, in 1926, but ftnly Puccini’s came through. That was said to have embittered the maestro, but did not halt his work. It may be noted, in passing, that there was little senesence in the Renaissance. "Mascagni Flattens Laundry Man” may be a summer headline. • • • Sly Old Party. THE grizzled Japanese General Shigeru Honjo is a sly old party. When, having snatched the Chinese boy emperor and put him on the synthetic Manchukuo throne, he ob served that this Henry Pu-Yi had no heir, he fixed up the marriage of Henry’s younger brother, Pu-Chieh, with a nice Japanese girl—all in the interest of future permanence and perpetuity of Japan in Asia. He is a dapper little man who likes to go about his business in a quiet, genteel way. When he con . qUered, in 100 days, a Manchuria area as large as a brace of New England states, he put on a regular daytime fighting shift, with all hands knocking off when the whistle blew, all lights out at eight and everybody asleep at nine. He wa- quite complacent about it, having consulted the famous soothsayer, Donsho Kodania, whe had called every important happen ing in Japan before it happened— including the fall of six cabinets. Donsho told the general Manchuria would be a push-over, so he slept ten hours a night. He is of a Samurai family, a vet eran of the Russo-Japanese war. He was the gentlest strong man who ever worked at that ancient trade, taking over Manchuria apol ogetically, but with dispatch. He retired from the army a year ago. ♦ • • “New American Race.” PERHAPS Van Wyck Brooks’ “The Flowering of New Eng land” left you sad. They almost made a culture, but not quite. Here’s fresh hope. Dr. Ales Hrdlicka, the famous anthropolo gist, calibrates Boston, long-heads and round heads alike, and finds that Boston is nurturing a “new American race.” They are the tall est and largest Americans and still growing. “They are excellent, healthy white stock,” says Dr. Hrdlicka. “It is something of a pity that they can’t be kept in an Eden and stay there forever.” © Consolidated News Feature*.

Suits Stress Short Fitted Jackets — By CHERIE NICHOLAS tew Jill ■ ' -si ' ■ ■ kJ I ■ 'T'HE coronation of the king and queen of Great Britain is reflect ing no little influence throughout the world of fashion. Which perhaps ac counts for the tremendous vogue for handsome suits tailored of hand some woolens which is sweeping throughout fashion’s domain. Since London is proving a magnet for de signers and merchants who wish to keep in touch with what’s going on in a fashion way where such stir ring epoch-making events are tak ing place, their first reaction would naturally be in favor of stunning woolen tailored apparel since Eng lish women set pace for the world in this direction. At any rate this is proving an outstanding season for the tailored suit and all that goes with it in the way of chic accessories. The new woolens are as an intriguing lot as ever launched forth on a fashion career. While most any length jack et is accepted this year as good style, yet when it comes to top notch swank the fashion-wise are centering their interest about the jaunty short-jacket types. The suit to the left in the picture combines nubby wool sheer tweed with even nubbier knit and you know that the nubbier the smarter is the word this season for woolens. The short fitted jacket in brown and beige tweed has three half-moon pockets lined with the brown knit of the skirt. There’s a brown knit ascot, a belt and buttons that are amusing in their oddity. By the way, you can add to the lure of a costume like this by wearing a blouse that fastens with fruit or vegetable but tons. Seeing is believing in regard to these whimsical buttons, some of which are miniature strawberries or perhaps wee apples or peaches. If you prefer oblong buttons ask for the lilliputian bananas they are displaying this season or the teeny weeny ears of corn, each and all “AMOUR” SILK PRINT By CHERIE NICHOLAS - wiF ite F jt lip UgOT ■w w® ■Bll L SSs»^g^ ^1 The love affair that startled the world takes on a fashion note. Look at the silk over-blousette which this perfectly coiffed and hatted lady is wearing and you wRI be able to decipher the word “amour” design fully patterned in stripes on the printed silk. The blousette is worn over a black silk crepe dress. The silk print is done in black and gray on a white silk crepe. The breton sailor she wears flared off the fore head instead of tilted forward is a “last word" hat fashion.

WHEELER COUNTY EAGLE, ALAMO, GEORGIA. in the realistic colorings of Nature. The two-piece suit of pin-checked wool tweed on the seated figure is beige flecked with white, according to Schiaparelli’s fabric version. Such an exciting color theme as beige has grown to be this season! It’s beige for your suit, for your furs, for your monotone crepe after noon gown and for accessories with your navy or black suit beige is a most important message. The dia mond shaped composition buttons that fasten this jacket are decidedly novel and therefore impart the ex clusive look. Panels form ingenious breast pockets. A navy blouse peeps from under the stand-up collar. Check and double check! Here you see the game played in the suit to the right in the group. A navy and white box-swagger coatee in soft wool with large patch pock ets and rounded lapels over a single breasted jacket to match makes this one of the smartest and most practical suits of the season. A navy monotone tweed skirt in simple lines is a pleasing variation from the check of the jacket. Wear with this costume a white baku breton sailor with roll brim faced in patent leath er, for you must know that patent leather touches are ace-high chic. The checked swagger-and-jacket suit just described is a good ex ample of the fashion now prevail ing for ensembles that are that composite they furnish quite a com plete wardrobe in themselves. The present scheme of costume design that includes several items such as skirt, jacket, roomy topcoat and of ten an added cape denotes a very practical turn of affairs. These are I so related in color and technique I that, combine them as you will, | they never fail to form a perfect [ unified outfit. © Western Newspaper Union. GLASS SLIPPERS ARE LATEST FOOT MAGIC By CHERIE NICHOLAS Glass slippers for the modern Cinderella are the latest word in foot-magic from Paris. To show that they are a 1937 vogue and won’t actually disappear at midnight, they are trimmed in gold kid and show bright nail lacquer gleaming through. Another version of the Cinderella slipper is created of woven strands of crystal. This, too, is semi-trans parent. Other more practical types of footwear for spring indicate the growing importance of the pedicure I as a fashion requisite. Tipped-toe i shoes (with just the tip cut out at front), sports and evening slippers made of twisted bands of printed linen—all reveal lace-tipped stock ings and brightly lacquered toes. Rust and ruby-red and burgundy are especially popular, usually worn a tone deeper than the fingernails. Roman sandals and flat-heeled gold evening slippers with tiny strappings will be particularly popu lar with the “tall and willowy.” Printed slippers made from the same material as the evening gown and colored kid sandals are also high in favor. Ventilated Headwear Is Latest Edict From Paris Ventilated headwear is a top note in the new collection Agnes shows. Pie-shaped wedges are cut out of black brims that lie low and hug the hair. Half-hats that reach back only to the ears are finished the rest of the way with flowing black veils. A wide-brimmed black Panama, cut in two lengthwise, joins to gether again with half a dozen bows of black velvet baby ribbon. All its edges are also velvet-bound. Agnes, too, makes much use of ribbon. Birdlike bows perch on the crowns of her sailor hats and stand aloft on the “cut-away” front# of her off-the-face models. IMPROVED UNIFORM INTERNATIONAL SUNDAY | chool Lesson By REV. HAROLD L. LUNDQUIST. Dean of the Moody Bible Institute of Chicago. © Western Newspaper Union. Lesson for May 9 ABRAHAM A MAN OF PRAYER LESSON TEXT—Genesis 18:17-32. GOLDEN TEXT—TiIe effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much. James 5:16. PRIMARY TOPIC —Abraham Praying for His Neighbors. JUNIOR TOPIC—A Great Man's Prayer. INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOPIC— Praying for Others. YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPIC— The Ministry of Intercession. Prayer—how many are the books that have been written on that sub ject and the sermons preached, and yet how little it is actually prac ticed. One can attract an audience to hear it discussed, but only a handful will come to pray. We-as Christians agree that it is God’s ap pointed way of blessing. We put up mottoes such as “Prayer changes things,” or “More things are wrought by prayer than this world dreams of,” and then (may God forgive us!) we try to change things ourselves. We struggle with problems when we ought to pray. The lesson of today, from the life of that great hero of faith, Abra ham, stresses the importance of in tercessory prayer, that is, the giv ing of ourselves to pray for the temporal and spiritual welfare of others. In an age characterized by a grasping spirit of acquisition for personal advantage it is like a breath from heaven to read of this man’s prayer for others. I. The Nature of Intercessory Prayer. 1. It is a Privilege. Abraham had been honored by a visit from God. The covenant had been re newed, a son had been promised. The three visitors looked out toward Sodom. God who had thus appeared to Abraham in visible form and had shared the hospitality of his home now extends to him the privilege of sharing in God’s purpose. How glorious to be on such terms of con fidence with God, to know him and to know his will and purpose! 2. It is a Responsibility. “Abra ham stood yet before the Lord”— why? To pray for Sodom and Gomorrah. Privilege and responsi bility go together. Those who have audience with the King of kings are there to carry the blessed bur den of prayer for others. Are we praying for our children, our fami lies, our church, our nation? If not, who will pray? 3. It is Objective, not Subjective. Some modern “religious” leaders would devitalize prayer by making it a sort of spiritual exercise which has only the value of developing our own soul. The prayer room is to them a sort of spiritual gym nasium where the soul develops its strength and a spiritual sense of well-being floods the soul. Undoubtedly the very fellowship with God which is inherent in prayer is spiritually beneficial, but prayer actually deals with such things as cities, men, sin, sorrow. It con | cerns men’s physical well-being, i their material prosperity, as well : as their spiritual welfare. It is the means designated by God for the release of his power on behalf I of the object for which we pray. 11. Characteristics of Intercessory ■ Prayer. 1. Unselfish. Abraham already had his promise and his blessing. : The cities of the plain were wicked, I yet he prayed for them. Those ■ who know the spirit of God are not selfish in prayer. 2. Courageous. Note the rever ent boldness with which Abraham pleaded the cause of the condemned cities. The Bible reveals that God honored men who had a holy cour age. History tells the same story. We celebrate this year the centen ary of one who prayed boldly—and believed, and labored—Dwight L. Moody. 3. Persistent. No one likes a “quit- I ter.” Christ spoke of a man who I was heard for his importunity (Luke 11:8). See also Luke 18:1-8. Some one has said that when we pray we are all too often like the mischievous boy who rings the door bell and runs away without waiting for an answer. 111. Results of Intercessory Prayer. The cities were destroyed, but the righteous were saved. God hears . and answers prayer. This is the testimony of His Word, of count- | less Christian men and women of : all ages, yes, of the men and women of our day. We know by experience that it is true —“I cried; he an swered.” He says to you and to me, “Call unto Me and I will an swer thee and show thee great and mighty things, which thou knowest not” (Jer. 33:3). No Reason for Anxiety Anxiety is the poison of life; the parent of many sins and of more miseries. Why, then, allow it, when we know that all the future is guid ed by a Father’s hand!—Blair. A Long Life He lives long that lives well, and time misspent is not lived, but lost. —Fuller. They Also Serve They also serve who only stand and wait.—Milton.
