LL wiNNETRAWEERIV TALK SATURDAY JUNE eee ANNOUNCE U. OF |, COMMENCEMENT Wednesday, June 14 Is Com- mencement Day The fifty-first annual commence- ment of the University of Illinois will be held on Wednesday of commence- ment week, June 14. One thousand and fifty-six degrees will be conferred. Dean Eugene Davenport, vice presi- dent of the University and dean of its college of agriculture, will deliver the commencement address.

Monday, June 12, is class day, the fea- ture of which is a program presented by the senior class which includes the valedictory, salutatory, "hatchet" ora- tion, class history, etc. In the after- noon, the famous University band will give a concert for the seniors and their visiting guests. The senior ball brings the days to a close. : Tuesday is given over largely to alumni activites. Class reunions, meetings, receptions, and picnics will be the order of the day. The golden anniversary reunion of the class of 1872, the first class to graduate from the University, is one of the features of the alumni meetings, but equally important is the unveiling of the plas- ter cast of a statue to be known as "Alma Mater." It is the work of Lor- ado Taft, famous Chicago sculptor, who graduated from the University in 1879. The case, after its unveiling, will be duplicated in bronze and given a permanent place in front of the audi- torium at the University. The commencement exercises low on Wednesday morning. NATICNAL PARKS WILL HAVE RADIO STATIONS Denver--Installation of radio sta- tions at scores of strategic points throughout the national park system for the dissemination of news, market reports and other information to the thousands of tourists that visit the parks each summer, will be urged by Stephen T. Mather. national director of Uncle Sam's vast park system. Mather is making a survey of the Rocky Mountain National Park. "Radio communication holds vast possibilities for the Government," Mather said, "and we intend to take advantage of it." Mather said he had in mind the op- portunity for service to tourists that radio stations in the park systems would afford and indicated that newspapers would be asked to co- operate with the National" Park Ser- vice in broadcasting news of the out- side world to tourists in isolated sec- tions of the parks. fol- Soapmakers.

P. Dut- ton & Co., is the memoir of one of the best loved and best hated of the women surrounding the Empress Eu- genie, over whom the Princess exer- cised a strangely compelling and com- plete influence. It was the Princess Metternich who planned original and exotic balls and parties, who set styles, and who slapped trivial convention in the face; and yet withal held her power and her following through sheer vivid- ness of personality. Through this per- sonality the reader sees the Chancellor Prince Clemens Metternich, the au- thor's grandfather; Count Sandor, her father, the famous horseman; Maitre Lachaud; Count Taaffe; Daniel Dun- glas Home, the spiritualist; Richard Wagner; Franz Liszt; and many not- able characters of the continental courts of those days. One astonishing incident of the book is the way in which Wagner is intro- duced to Paris. The Princess Metter- nich asks the Emperor Napoleon III as a special favor to her that Tann- hauser be produced at the Paris Opera House. * 'Tannhauser Richard Wag- ner!' said the Emperor, musingly, stroking his mustache in his habitual manner, 'I have never heard of the opera or the composer. And you think it is really good? I said I did, and the Emperor turned to his Lord Cham- berlain who had charge of the Im- perial theaters, and said to him in his offhand way: 'Oh, Bacciochi, Prin- cess Metternich is interested in an opera called Tannhauser, by one Richard Wagner, and wants to see it performed here in Paris--will you ar- range to have it done? Bacciochi bowed and replied: 'As your Majesty commands." And that was how Tann- hauser found its way to Paris." THE FLIPPEST FLAP "Margey Wins the Game"--John V, A. Weaver (KNOPF). "Margey--we're simply crazy 'bout you, Margey," they sang, one by one, as the revamped girl captured them; Margey is the hero of Johnny Wea- ver's first effort. It is in the popular flapper style, but it is oh, so cleverly done. It is in the popular vein, with a few of the Scott Fitz-Dell touches, but it hits above the belt, and stays there. It is not exactly the sort of story one would expect from the man who wrota the verses in "In American." All the sunny human nature, all the zest for the strawberry side of life, heaped high with ivory whipped cream thick enough to cut, is there. But he does not delve so deeply in the novelette, as he seems to in his book of poems. Briefly, his proposition is this: An intellectual girl who is good looking can flap more floozily than the aver- age Prom-trotter, if she wants to g0 in for that sort of thing. We find Mar- gey emerging from a Chrysalis, and becoming the giddiest of the girls about town. Then we see her going back--but we really shouldn't spoil the story. The story is worth while because it doesnt' pretend. It accomplishes its aim. Tt is far better than most of the Molly Make-Believe, Daddy Long- legs stories of the sort, and it is 1922 --up-to-the minute, and interesting. People who know Chicago will find (Colosimo's--and many other places, if they look deeply enough. It's a good story, and it leaves a pleasant taste in the mouth. household purposes. C. B.

PREDICTS RETURN OF PROSPERITY a00N Public Services Company Sees Hopeful Signs The Public Service Company, which supplies electricity for lighting and power and gas for fuel throughout the great industrial zone extending around Chicago, reports that its con- tracts made for additional electric power during the first four months of 1922 far in excess of those for the same period of 1921. The figures in fact are the largest for any four months since the boom year of 1920. The same approximate figures are noted as to the Company's contracts for wiring houses. They are nearly 300 per cent above those of January, February, March and April 1921. The industrial distritc referred to is one of the most remarkable in the world with respect to the number of manufacturing plants in it and the diversification of products. Some of the plants are immense employing small armies of workers and demand- ing electrical energy and gas to the extent in the first case of as much as six and seven thousand horse power daily in idividual cases and in the latter to the extent of nearly one million cubic feet per day. "Our men are out through the dis- trict which extends from Waukegan southward through the towns to the west of Chicago, Maywood, Melrose Park, Cicero, Clearing, to Blue Island, Harvey, Chicago Heights, Joliet and on the south as far as Kankakee and Streator," said an official of the Public Service Company. "They see the Op- erators of many of the plants not oc- casionally but almost daily and so we are enabled to keep in close touch with the situation. The figures of our new contracted business are the best possible indication that the tide has turned and that prosperity is com- ing back. A year ago there was very little encouragement given us. The owners of the factories were pretty gloomy in a great many cases. It can be stated now that even in the in- stances of plants that are not yet in full operation, plans are being carried out for an enlargement of productive capacity. There is no doubt in my mind that we have not only turned the corner with respect to the revival of industry but have gone -a consider- able distance on the road to it. Our Company is calculating on a heavy increase in both its power and gas [289 business."
