- CTIZENS LAUNCH DRIVE ON DUPS Lincoin Park Body to Unite Eastern Section in Plea for Abolition. Plans to unite all citizen organiza- tions in the eastern part of the Dis. trict to demand from Commissioners and Congress abolition of the smoking dumps near the Anacostia River took definite form last night at a meeting of | v the Lincoln Park Citizens' Association In Bryan School, attended by repre- sentatives of the Southeast and North- Washington _Citizens’ A . J. C. L. Ritter spoke for ns of the Southeast and W. Betts for the Northeast. President Joseph L. Gammell of the Lincoln Park body appointed David Babp and L. G. Buehler to co-operate with committees from other citizens’ organizations in the eastern section in the fight against dumps near Benning and cast of Congressional Cemete “The District government had six inspectors looking for ons little smell in the northwestern part of the city the other day,” said Mr. Babp, “and we have not had even one inspector over here, although the smoke and stench spreads all over our part of the cit “Fifteen families have moved out of the southeastern section, driven away by the smoke,” declared Mr. Ritter, “It is getting to be almost impossible to hold burial ceremonies in Congr sional Cemetery, and teachers and pu- pils of the Eastern High School ar suffering. The time has passed for re- questing abolition of these dumps. We must demand it.” Mr. Betts spoke particularly against the Benning dump. He thought it would require congressional action to get rid of these dumps, even if Com- missioners stopped the burning of ref use there, “They have not only failed to abate the nuisance on the Benning and ceme dumps,” said Harry C. Kimball, an of the committee on streets and avenues of the Lincoln Park As- sociation, but they have started a new one hehind Eastern High School | William A lin, secretary of the | body, has received a promise of co-op. eration in the fight from G.

NEW YORK, November 9—New York ‘opened its musical heart to one of its own yesterday afternoon when Frederick Jagel, Brooklyn choir boy, made his debut with the Metropolitan Opera Co. in “Aida.” Jagel, whose tenor voice, critics say, was admirably fitted for the role of Radames, the Egyptian lover of the Dusky Aida, h no vocal instruc- tion until he was’16. A wealthy silk merchant heard his voice, took an in- terest in him and advanced him the money for further study. From the time he gave his first performance in “La Boheme,” in Livorno, Italy, Jagel was acclaimed a success. Grete Stueckgold, as Aida, the young Berlin soprano, sang for the first time In a language other than her native German. She made her New York debut last week in “Die Meistersinger.” ord of his arrangement of the 47th were given of va as sung by the English singers and | members of varfous chol Dr. Fellowes’ own choir of St. George's In spite of the stormy westher yes- terday afternoon, an audjence large enough to comfortably fill the cham- ber music auditorium of the Library of Congress listened in an attitude of keen alertness to the lecture on “Tudor Church Music,” given by the Rev. Dr. Edmund H. Fellowes of Windsor Castle, England. This was the second In the series of three le by the authority on Englis of that period.

H. F. THE DAVISON GLEE CLUB. The Davidson Glee Club presented its Fall concert last night in Plerce Hall, ‘Al Souls’ Unitarian Church, un- der the direction of John R. Monroe. A very ambitious program was given. ‘Adolt Torovsky, planist, was the as- sisting soloist. A group of three sacred numbers opened the concert. They were: “Come, Thou, Oh, Come!” by Bach, “Arise, O Ye Servants of God,” by Sweelinck, and “Ecce Quomodo Moritur Tustus,” by Palestrina, the last named being particularly well sung. The tone of the chorus was especlally good in this selection. Several light numbers followed, among the best of twhich were ] flies,” a Russian folk song, which was sung at lightning speed, and cle of five beautiful “Love Songs,” composed by Brahms. A piano | duet accompaniment by Adolf Torov- sky and J. J. Blaney of the Glee Club, added to the attractiveness of the lat- | ter number. A feature of the program was the presentation of Gustav Holst's “A Dirge for Two Veteran: ung in con- nection with the approach of Armi- stice day. The addition of trumpets, trombone, tuba and drums to the cho- rus made this piece particularly ef- fective. Other selections worthy of mention were “Marching,” by Brahms: “Turn Ye to Me,” a_Scottish ballad sung by Willlam H. Bell, tenor, and VIRGINIA vs. MARYLAND Football Game CHARLOTTESVILLE, VA.

Keeping the System So Clea Therl:‘ Are Nz’B.:;y Odorsn A lot of people who never have to take a laxative eat a candy cascaret now and then. Do you know why? They have found that cascara sweetens the whole system—brings an immaculacy of person that means everything. It prevents bodily chem- istry from ever making one uncon- sciously offensive to others. And what a perfect regulator of the bowels! Salts affect the lining of the bowels. Mineral oils leave a coating that the blood must carry off through the pores. How much better to cascarize the system, and cause the bowels to expel everything by normal muscular contraction! To say nothing of the cleaner, sweeter condition that lasts for days—a wholesome condition that makes the use of deodorants quite unnecessary in January or July! Men and women whose years have brought on sluggishness often find that a cas- caret only once a week is all the tonlc they needed. Cascara {is splendid for children, too, and they love the taste of this candy laxative which every drug- store has for 10c and 25c. oy West ICORPORATED) 14th & G Streets N. W. STARTING AT .

C., WEDNESDAY, & chorus from Sir Arthur Sullivan's opera, “The Gondoliers.” Of special interest was the pleying of Adolf Torovsky. He gave one of his usual finished performances in his rendition of Mozart’s “Theme and Va riations in A Major” and Schumann's “Papillons.” In this latter number he was at his best, his runs being par- ticularly worthy of comment. It is to be regretted that he played only two selections, but he refused to give an encore, OBREGON TO SPEAK.
