GOTHAMITES FIGHT SUBWAYS NEW YORK, Nov. 12.—At least two prominent New Yorkers are determined that no subway shall nibble at the roots of the trees and grass in Central park—the chief "open space" on Manhattan Island. These are Borough President Julius Miller and Senator Nathan Straus, Jr. Miller delivered himself of a ukase recently tantamount to a declaration that such a project would be "over his dead body." Senator Straus has now made oration in sardonic vein, in which he suggests that if commercialism is to motivate all activities, New York might dam up the streams in Central park, build a powerhouse near the bandstand in the mail, and conserve this wasted horsepower in a hydroelectric development. Exponents of the enterprise would build the proposed subway extension along the western edge of the park, and what is worse, they would employ the "open cut" scheme of construction. The slaughter of the shrubbery of course would make the park look like a logging camp in the Siskiyou, or, in the words of Senator Straus, "like a section of an oil town." It is declared the saving in construction would aggregate two million dollars, the park route being shorter than its alternative. BALLET REQUIRES SEVERE TRAINING PARIS, Nov. 12.—"The ballet of Coppella represents the effort of 30 rounds of boxing — minus the punch of the fist," says Mademoiselle Pierrozzl, the premiere danceruse of the Paris Opera, now considered one of the finest ballerines who ever danced before the French public. "Few athletic sports," she continues in L'Auto, "necessitate as severe and drastic training as the MOORE HEAD OF L. B. WATER DEPT. J. Lloyd Moore, well-known realtor, formerly of Anaheim, now of Long Beach, has been appointed to the office of superintendent for the Long Beach water department, to fill the vacancy made by Clark H. Shaw, now chief engineer of construction work of the department. Mr. Moore was assistant general freight and passenger agent for the Salt Lake Railway, with headquarters in Salt Lake City, for a number of years prior to coming to Anaheim, where he was associated with the Henderson Realty Co. Buy In Anaheim MARVELOUS VOICE IN EARLY DEBUT CHICAGO, Nov. 12.—Gifted with a contralto voice of gold, and the possessor of a large store of indomitable courage, Miss Kathryn Meisle has attained a goal which hundreds of her American sisters have sought in vain. Miss Meisle, who formerly was a singer in an Atlantic City, N. J., cafe, will make her debut here within a short time with the Chicago Civic Opera Co.—her first appearance in grand opera. The Chicago company awarded her a contract this summer. She had only two years of brilliant successes in concert work to credit when the richness of her voice attracted the attention of Herbert M. Johnson, an officer of the Chicago company. When she was 15 years old, Miss Meisle said, she obtained a position in a choir of an Episcopal church at Philadelphia. While singing there she was offered the place of contralto in a mixed quartette in an Atlantic City cabaret. Kathryn knew the members of the quartette, who assured her parents she would be in good hands; so she accepted. In private life Miss Meisle is Mrs. Calvin M. Franklin, the wife of a well-known Philadelphia business man. Buy In Anaheim PHONE CO. COMPELS SEVERE TRAINING PARIS, Nov. 12.—“The ballet of Coppella represents the effort of 30 rounds of boxing — minus the punch of the fist,” says Mademoiselle Pierrozzi, the premiere danseuse of the Paris Opera, now considered one of the finest ballerines who ever danced before the French public. “Few athletic sports,” she continues in L’Auto, “necessitate as severe and drastic training as the daily routine of the opera dancer.” “To be a good dancer demands first of all physical gifts and natural dispositions for which nothing can be substituted. But at the same time she must perfect and draw out the best from her talents. After a severe medical examination, exercises with the bar must begin and continue as long as the ballerine wishes to dance. I take four or five hours of exercise daily, not always an easy matter when one goes to bed late.” “The dancer must also do an enormous amount of walking and jumping the rope to keep in good form for a ballet. One like Coppella lasts one hour and three-quarters, and is equivalent to 30 rounds of boxing.” Mademoiselle Pierrozzi herself is an expert swimmer, a virtuoso of golf and tennis and an all-round sportswoman.

Boiled down to final stages of brevity, by which all its employees from the office boy up, must abide. Clayton L. Brown, president of the company, is responsible for the unique thrift plan. He compels his workers to save at least 10 per cent of their earnings in safely chartered investments that bring an equitable cash return. The measure was adopted, not because the firm cared particularly how the employees disposed of their salaries, but in the interest of efficiency, according to Brown. The plan, according to its instructor, has proved highly successful. Figures compiled by Brown show $225,000 of wages distributed during the first year was invested in a variety of reliable stocks. Under the ruling, money applied toward the liquidation of debt is considered a saving, as does money applied as a sinking fund against the principal of a debt on a home. Sums invested in automobiles, phonographs and hope chests are not recognized under terms of the thrift scheme. Strict adherence to the rule is established through a savings director, the result being that no employee can continue drawing his salary without presentation of bona fide evidence he has saved at least 10 per cent of the previous week’s income. “What is good for the congregation does equally well for the preacher” is Brown’s theory. Hence he has accomplished much in the way of thrift himself. Today the president of the power firm is considered one of the wealthiest men in Kansas, despite the fact that he emerged from the farm in the early 90’s with his sole property being a tumble-down water mill.
