RETAL. J0BS SHOW RISE IN TRADE GAIN Industry Pay Roll Totals Up. Food Prices Here Drop, U. S. Bureau Says. An increase in retail trade employ- ment and pay roll totals was noted in figures released today by the Labor Department's Bureau of Statistics for November. A further drop in retail food prices was announced at the same time by the bureau, bringing the total reduction to 17'; per cent in this mar- ket since November 15, 1930. The bureau attributed the rise in employment and pay roll totals in the retail trade to the ‘“continuation of the seasonal expansion, which began in September." Locally, retail food prices dropped 2 per cent since October 15, bringing the total reduction for the last 12 months to 17 per cent. Similar reduc- tions_were noted by the bureau in San_Francisco, Kansas City and Mil- waukee. During the same period a reduction _of 24 per cent has been noted in Springficld, 111 The bureau used as its employment compilation base returns received from 50200 establishments in 15 major - groups. having in November employes, whose combined earnings in one week were $101,596.891 Electric railroads, power, light and water plants were additional groups. according to the report. which recorded slight gains in pay roll totals during the month, but they reported a slight decrease in empioyment The remaining 12 industrial groups reported a falling off in both employ- ment and earnings. The burcau e planed the cut in pav roll totals. which Wwas more pronounced than the decrease in employment, was due to some ex- tent to “the general observance of Armistice and election days in certain localities Three Americans Seek Enlistment In Japanese Army By Cable to The Star.

'HE lofty Venetian beams of Mrs. Virden-Smith's studio recital hall echoed last night with the clear, resilient tones of a young voice which is destined for great things. Helen Donofrio, coloratura soprano, a young Californian, turned ‘Washingtonian, proved herself one of the most fortunate recitalists of the season. She was fortunate in the ability with which she handled her exacting program, fortunate in the enthusiasm of her audience, and most gracious in the manner of de- livering the many encores which her admirers asked of her. Miss Donofrio is not a good singer—she is an astonishing one. Rumor has it that four years ago her voice was in her boots—that, in fact, if anything it was thoroughly dormant. Suddenly Mrs. Virden- Smith put a match to it and it b>gan to take form and shape and to kindle brightly, until. as was shown last night, 1t has blazed high and wide as a thing not only of beauty but of inherent charm. Miss Donofrio has. of course, still much to learn. There is little body to the notes in her middle and lower rang>. The tone is nice enough and true enough. hut it lacks the ex- citement which is so striking higher up. There is too much breath be- hind it, so that the transition from high to low comes as something of a disappointment This does in no wise detract, how- ever, from her efficiency as a true- blcoded coloratura.

A voice such as this—in so young a singer—is nct discovered more than once or twice a season—and we wager that no more perfect imitation of a flute's echo has bren given (not counting, of course, two @f the most famed world artists heard here recently) than Miss Donofrio gave in the aria from “Lucia di Lammermoor,” in which she was handsomely assisted by Mr. Iascone, the flutist of the National Symphony Orchestra A difficult program. only slightly blurred in the initial stages, perhaps by a touch of nervousness, it includ- ed the Giordani “Caro Mio Ben,” not one of the young artist's best: the Debussy air from “Les Scecirex,” Ronald’s “Down in the Forest,” which Miss Donofrio sang delightfully; “The Sleigh,” by Kountz, which is an exciting novelty, and one of Fd- ward Potter's songs, “To the Be- loved,” which seemed especially cn- dowed with warmth. All of these numbers the audience seemed to enjoy tremendously, as did Mrs. Virden-Smith, who capa- bly accompanied her young “find” at the piano.

Wwe expect to have some toy factories located here when business | picks up. | It would be nice if I could tell you how it feels to be the Santa Claus of the world, but as a matter of fact I am a busy man here in my g-necral store. People come in for miles around to trade eggs and butter for sugar, cof- fee, tea and so forth. We are paying 20 cents a dozon for good eggs today Then vou will notice I sell all kinds <f m rchandise from pitchforks to shoes. Most of our mail is sent here in bulk by mail and express. It must then be canceled “Santa Claus” and started on | s way. After the mail has been canceled it is carried by truck to Lincoln City and iaced on the ratlroad car. The three men sent here from Wash- ington and Louisville do most of the actual work with the mail. The Post- master General appreciates our prob- lems and has provided us with ammple ‘acilities to meet the situation. We ve &n electric cancellation machine which will run more than 30.000 pieces an hour, so no matter how big the in- coming lcad of mail, we are able to cancel it and start the gifts and cards on their way from nta Claus.
