SINGERS HOLD BIG JUBILEE American Sin1en' Union To Meet in Chica1o "Every appreciator of choral singing in Chicago and vicinity," reads a notic· , "is getting ready for the seventy. fifth annual reunion of the North American ' Singers union, which is to be held at the Coliseum, Chicago June 11, 12 and 13. While the meet: ir.gs held every year in some important center of the country are always interesting and largely attended, the diamond jubilee of the foundation of the organization, which is to be celebrated this year, gives it special significance. In every part of the United States, in large cities and small communities, members of the North America Singers' union are preparing for the jubilee, and the Chicago committee, which is in charge of the arrangements for the event, is convinced that at least 20,000 members of the union will be in attendance. "The elaborate programs which have been months in the making, will be participated in by 8,000 singers, and the feature of the Saengerfest will be the amalgamation of the male choruses of the various individual societies into a monster chorus which will be the largest ever brought together in any one spot in the world. This chorus will give a program of fourpart songs, in which the German tradition of singing without instrumental accompaniment will be observed. However, several of the programs in which women's, men's and mixed choruses will be heard, will have the Chicago Symphony orchestra, one of the world's most noted permanent symphonic bodies, to supply the musical setting. "There will be scores of soloists, some of the greatest singers holding membership in the North American Singers' union having been assigned places on the several programs, and in addition to these there wiJI be an array of special talent chosen from the ranks of the Chicago Civic Opera company. One program will be devoted to the presentation of American folk-songs, all of these being manuscript compositions entered in the prize contest inaugurated by the North American Singers' union over a year ago. Since the contest was given initial anno.1,1nc;ement, expert judges have been receiving and jassintr on the compositlons submitte , many ?f which it is satd possess unusual mertt.

It is estimated that $1,000,000 will be required to meet the demands for the next twelve months, even though, under the direction of the Cardinal, the work of collecting funds, supervising service and distributing funds has been co-ordinated under one head, The Associated Catholic Charities, which has as directors, D. F. Kelly, Robert M. Sweitzer, Joseph -F. Connery and other successful C~icago business men. These men have operated the charities at from one-third to one-sixth of the administrative cost of similar agencies, it is stated. A factor in this low cost, it is explained, is the large number of sisters who receive no money for their services and the nearly 3,000 laymen who voluntarily aid in bringing the needs of the poor of their neighborhoods to the attention of the charities. All the Catholics of Dupage, Kankakee, Lake, Will and Grundy counties, which with Cook. make up the Archdiocese, will be given an opportunity to contribute to this work at their local churches, Sunday, June 8, it is announced.

Colonial Lenae Glauea Society'a Latest Edict The Colonial or octagon shaped lenses have come into their own again after 100 years of obscurity. These lenses have come into their own again ence during Benjamin Franklin's time and some of these old glasses can still be found in the collections of our grand parents. So really, there is nothing new about this shape of glass at all and it is just making it's cycle of time as all other things do. ff. A.

But rarely can man's handiwork, composite in its elements, be thus imagined from any of its parts. Considered alone, a tiny ~arbon granule from the telephone transmttter cannot ·even hint of the complex instrument. Only as part of a co-ordinated mechanism has this littlest unit its full significance. The telephone needs of the nati~n require a service national in scope and operation. Men, materials and money on a vast scale are essential. Practical co-ordination of the numberless human and mechanical agencies indispensable to the service is possible only through a nationwide organization. This the Bell System provides.
