The Chicago Symphony. Orchestra, under the direction of Eric DeLamarter, will present four ensem- and 'ecnfidenee lead to tragedy. Mme. Bori, whose fame as an actres equals .that which' she enjoys gas. a singer, is perfectly equipped for the character of Salad. Being Spanish, she knows that psychology of all classes of the Spanish people, and this is the only Opera in the repertoire in which she sings her native tongue. In “The Secret of Suzanne” which is to serve as a curtain raiser' for "La Vida Breve” Mme. Bori will appear op- posite Armand Tokatyan, who will be heard as Count Gli,' while Giordano Paltrinieri does -much -ptuttomimie acting as the deaf and dumb servant,: Sante. Gennaro Papi will conduct. Mr. . Tokatyan will again be Mm. Bori's visra-vis as Paco, in "La Vida Breve," a part in which this splendid young tenor has never been heard at Ravinia,' but in which he has distin- guished himself in New York. Others in the east of "La Vida Breve" are Mme. 'Bquiziltaya,, Louis D'Angelo, Philine Falco, Giordano Paltrinieri, Gecrge Cehanovsky and Desire De.. frere. Miss Ruth Page and Edwin Strawbridge will head the ballet and Louis Hasselmans will conduct.

This colorful work will be coupled with "The Secret of Suzanne" one of the most charming titui_arnusimr of the short operas, and Mint. Bori is to, appear as the heroine of both operas. In "The Secret of, Suzanne” she will be the attractive‘countess whose love for a cigarette precipitated, a domestic comedy, and in "La Vida' Breve" she will. be heard as Salad, appeared in both of these roles on the same night at Ravinia, and it is likely that this has not been done at any other opera house iii-the world. In "Pattliacei," Giovanni Maitine11i yill have the part of Canio in which his reputation is international, and Giuseppe Danise will be Tonic, sing- ing the famous "Prologue." George Cehanovsky will be Eilvio and Gior- dano Raltrinieri will appear as Beppe. Mario' Chamlee will be Turriddu in "Cavalleria Rustieana" and. Mario Basiola will be Alfio. Gladys Swarth- out will be heard as Lola: and Anna Correnti will be Mama Lucia.

The .Unid ted States marshals, to whom .the task was assigned,. were allowed :thirteen months for the enumeration; and returned a total population of a little less than 4,000,000. 1 The census of population was extablishedpas a decennial event by the Constitution of the United States, and is the only current statistical inquiry which rests pn such fundamental legal authority. In United States l ., "Prior"'to 1790, the date of the ttrat census of the United States, little had been done in any country toward es- thbliahing a regular periodic census‘ of population. Since that date, the nations'of the world have been devel- oping methods and machinery that make possible a speedy counting of "the people and the accumulation " the same time of a vast amount of data regarding educational, social and economic conditions. This devel- opment of modern statistical methods has probably gone farther in the Uni- ted States than in any other, country, and the director of the cent!!! is re- quired in one month to enumeratel 120,000,000 people and to obtain rather extensive information for about‘ six and a quarter million farms, l4,- "Some three thousand years ago King David set-TPL-tos number the people of Israel and Judah.

All of us will be glad to know how much the old town has grown -in ten years, especially if it has grown vigorously and well. An interesting story of the preparations being made for taking-the census, together with a history of our cen- sus taking will be found. in the cur- rent issue of the National Republic.

Increasing Over 1,400,000 Each Year, I r?, Estimate First Census THE PRESS "The population of continental Uni- ted, States is now increasing at the rate of 1,400,000 persons per year, or approximately one person every twenty-six seconds. The total in- crease is made up of the annual ex- cess of births over deaths, which emanate to 1,150,000, and the excess of immigration over emigration, which. mounts to an additional 240p. 000 per yen. By 1930 the popula, 000 mines and quarries, and more than 100,000 irrigation and drainage projects. - [ V It is the story ot a group of children-strongly resembling in real unrealness those fascinating terrors'of "The Constant Nymph" ---started out from, Jamaica by their fond parents to make the long perilous' trip to England to attend school. Not far from home -the time is the last eentury-- they are captured by pirates who don't murder them at all as it is supposed by the world, but carry them about on a long voyage find- ing them very "qt','ift and dam. gerous cargo. e pirates are really. good old souls and the chil- dren become devoted to them. ‘At last they are rescued, however, and taken back to civilization where a trial of the pirates ensues.

"The Innocent Voyage" is one of _those books which maybe inter- preted variously according to .the degree to which you think the author’s tongue was in, his cheek; Like Virginia Woold's "Orlando" which might be a weighty history of English literature with. mean- ing dripping from every word like moss from trees, or might be a tray ironical commentary on life, so "The Innocent Voyage" may be freighted with moral meaning or may be one of the gay summings up of the ridiculousness of life. Personally I think it is the latter.
