It has never been heard in this part of the country and was never presented in the United States until last season when it was given in New York. Lucretia Bari, who scored a tremendous success in it at that time, will have the leading soprano role when it is given at Ravinia. From Spanish Repertoire "La Vida Breve" comes from the Spanish repertoire, having been com- posed by Manuel de Fella. Its libret- to is in Spanish, a tongue seldom em- ployed for operatic purposes except in Spain, despite the fact that it is one of the most poetic and singable of all the Latin languages. It was flrtrt produced at Nice in 1913, from which it will be Been that it is ultra- modern in its form and spirit. Its scenes are laid in the picturesque old Spanish city of Granada and its hero- ine is Salad, a gypsy girl. who is in love with a young man far above her own humble station in life. Paco, the lover, betrays the confidence of the trustful Salad. for he is betrothed to Several items of inajor importance future prominently in the coming week’s plans for Ravinia Opera and Concerts. In the first place, Saturday night. July 31. will mark the close of the first half of the currentaea- son. In the second, Mr. Eekstein has determined to observe this event in an auspicious manner. and for this occasion he has scheduled the initial Ravinia performance of "La Vida Breve," which holds a prominent po- sition as a novelty among-modern operatic works.

And by the same sign, he says, they're a scarce tribe when it comes to automobile tires. This one was H. A. Bachwell, 323 Belden avenue Chicago, who yesterday brought to police headquarters two perfectly good truck tires, one small and one of large size, both in exeel- lent condition. which he had found on the road near here. The owner can get them from Chief Moroney. If nobody reports such a loss, the' finder will ge the tires eventually. DR.

All the play- ers are 1oenl boys and each team up rewrite some business house in High- land Park, so that there is keen rival- ry with the result that some mighty fine ball playing is being staged. Re- sults in the past week and games scheduled in the near future are given herewith: This indobr league is a wonderful thing and all the players are having lots of tun.

It is operated by electricity and is used to pump water through the intake pipes into the settling well, from which the water is pumped by high-lift pumps into the mains: , V . _ Heat Wave Hastens Use The new pump is the latest and most effective pump of its kind known and is capable of drawing water at the rate of seven millions of gallons per 24 hours from the lake into the well. It was not planned to start it so Boon, but the excessive heat of the last few days has placed an extraor- dinary load on the waterworks plant, because of consumption of water far above the average in sprinkling and other .hot season uses, and the pump was put in operation to keep the sup- ply in the intake well constant. ANNUAL PICNIC JULY . 25 AT ZAHNLE GROVE HIGHWOOD CHILD l DIES IN HOSPITAL This new high-lift pump is a Ster- ling, eight cylinder gasoline motor. It is one of the flneitt engines of this type manufactured. It is of 800 home- power and is capable of forcing 3,000,- 000 gallons of water into the mains every 24 hours. With this pump in reserve, the plant is always prepared for emergencies, and because of the fact that three types of power are used, it is scarcely possible that at any time the plant can be put out of commission through lack of power. if it is necessary to stop the electric pumps through failure of eurrent'or other accident, the steam and gasoline pumps 'will be available, and vice versa. thus providing for almost any emergency with tsufficient capacity to take care of the city’s water demands under practically all conditions. Rebuilding Incinerator Extensive improvements also are in progress on the city incinerator, which is being rebuilt »,and remodelled with a view to doubling its capacity, which has been greatly overtaxed with the rapid increase in the city’s population in recent years. -When the new improvements are completed, the incinerator will be able to take care of all demands for some years in the future, it is expected. . In this way in both the waterworks and the incinerator plants the city ud- ministration is providing for contin- ued good service for the people of the city in these departments by looking ahead and teking neceaury cups in due time for the present and future needs of the city. The installation of this powerful pump was made necessary because af the low level of the lake. On the beach in front of the city today the water line is nearly 200Heet lower than it was four or tive years ago. In those days the natural head of water in the lake easily kept the intake well supplied with water for all purposes and at all seasons. But since the water became so low the natural hr. flow of water is much slower, and a powerful pump was needed to main- tain the level in the well, especially during periods when the consumption is heavy as during the present heated New High-Lift Pump There is also another new pump in- stalled at the waterworks plant. It is a high-lift machine for pumping water into the mains andls to sup- plement the present three-million gal- lon steam pump and two million and a half gallon (each) electric pumps.
