OIS FORRELIF DECLARED URGENT Associated Charities Com- pelled to Plan for Big Easter Drive. Facing the largest volume of family ! relief calls during the past month in its entire history, the board of managers of the Associated Charities. at their regu- lar meeting vesterday afternoon in the| Social Service House. approved the plans | of the joint finance committee. repre- senting also the Citizens' Relief Asso- ciation. for making a more vigorous campaign during the coming Easter sea- | gon.

Melius. Also her caden- zas seemed cleanly cut and done in good style. These attributes were most noticeable in “Fingo per mio diletto” {and the famous “Shadow Song” from “Dinorah.” in the first group: “Le Ros- signol et la Rose” and ‘“Charmant Otfseau” from the Brazilian opera “The Pearl of Brazil), in the third group: “The Norwegian Echo Song" encore to the fourth group, and the final num- ber, which seemed to encompass the noted cadenza from the mad scene of “Lucia di Lammermoo! There were a few changes in the pro- gram, chiefly some omissions, probably | due to its length. Instead of the famil- iar “Stacndchen” (“Serenade™ of Schu- beri, that composer’s cqually familiar | “Morgen-Stacndchen™ (“Hark. Hark, | the Lark™ was sung. Among the selec- ‘llnnt which seemed to find most favor with the audience in addition to the airs with cadenzas were the old folk songs “Girometta” and “Fleur d’Amour.” Farley’'s “The Night Wind,” “The Lamplighter. from Manning's lovely suite of Ramdmp& and “The Last Summer.” Always the singer's enuncia- | tion was admirable and her style fin | ished, musicianly and chnrmh\z H.

HUGE SUPPLY BILL SENT T0 SENATE House Provides $2,290,000,- 000 for Treasury and Post Office. The supply bill, carrying the record jsum of $2,290,000,000 for expenses of {the Treasury and Post Office Depart- ments for the coming fiscal year was awaiting Senate action today. The House yesterday .sent the measure there with its indorsement, following the first roll call prohibition test in more than six years. While the vote was not deemed a true test between wets and drys, the House declined, by a vote of 287 to 61, to put any bar in the Government's way in the program to adulterate industrial alcohol with any poisonous drug. | Representative Linthicum, Democrat, | Maryland, who is regarded as head of {the wet group in the House, offered an amendment to prohibit the use of any { funds provided for the Treasury, which has jurisdiction over prohibition en- | forcement, “in the preparation or lssue jof any permit for the removal or use of any industrial alcohol known to be | denatured by any poisonous drug.” This the House decisively rejected, many recognized wets voting against the nmendmmn on the theory that the Government should be given all avail- able aid in prohibition enforcement. The law, they hold, is unenforceable and will be thus more quickly demon- strated to bc 50 by this course. VETERANS TO MEET. Equality-Walter Reed Post Hears Fitzgerald Tonight. Representative Roy G. Fitzgerald of Ohio will address the Equality-Walter Reed Post, Veterans of Foreign Wars, at 8 o'clock tonight in Pythian Tem- ple, 1012 Ninth_ street, on “National Preparedness and Its Relation to Vet- erandom.” The Equality-Walter Reed Post has taken an active interest in legislation for national defense, with particular reference to the promotion of civilian military training camps, to which Mr. Fitzgerald has devoted considerable time.
