The old structure on Broadway between Thirty-ninth and Fortieth streets, was admittedly inadequate to hold audiences who desired to listen to the tops of the musical world. I was out of date and out of repair. Traffic conditions were bad for occupants of the golden horseshoe who came to their music in limousines. The Rockefeller Center site had many advantages. Nevertheless, grand opera remained on Broadway and the site set aside for it in Rockefeller Center remained vacant. It hasn't been idle, however. Since the opening of the development on which more than $100,000,000 has been spent, it has served as a parking lot.

Its 85-horsepower engine give* you economical, well-balanced performance over the entire speed range -- and the 60- horsepower engine is even more economical. The structural strength of the Ford car -- frame, bracing, axles, body ---- makes not only for safety, bat durability and long life. d Ford hydraulic brakes are exceptionally large and strong in proportion to car weight. 4 The Ford car is stabilised for comfortable riding. Its springbase, the distance between front and rear suspension, is 123 inches. Seats are toward the center, perfectly balanced. The car does not bob or dip and can hare very littk^waj. These four points -- power, strength, safety, comfort -- are by far the most important essentials in any motor car. They form t|i' basic value of your investment. With solid foundation to build on, ttfe Ford V-8 has been made beautiful, spacious, easy to drive. It is richly upholstered and has all the modern features which add to the lux* ury and pleasure of motoring. - You can see these things when you take a trial drive, but do not forget that the main value is in the things you do not readily see -- quality of materials, precision of manufacture, . fundamental engineering.

Instead of an opera house there is to be a garage, one 13 stories in height and in no way resembling usual storage houses for motor cars. Six stories will be devoted to that purpose, three of them underground. Around the storage space will be stores on Lttafe street level and above them business places and offices.

We wish to take particular note of Alan Curtis, the young man who plays Wallace Beery's SOB ia "Sergeant Madden." ' ^ ' Curtis is a Chicago boy (that's not^ his real name) and was a next doorj neighbor for several years. One oft our big thrills while in Hollywood was1 one evening when we decided to take I in a famous "see'the stars" restaur-' ant. We had hardly ordered our, dinner (-sister was with us) when Alan came in. He not only recognized us but came to our table and bought our dinner. - Boy, were we glad we had on our best bonnet for we were the cynosure of all eyes. He is the best looking man you could ever meet and terribly, ashamed of it, regards his movie career as just another v£y to make a living. In -addition to modern conveniences, practically unknown in the Red Hook section in the past, the houses are to have clinics, isolation rooms, health centers, recreation rooms for adults as well as nursery rooms and schools. .And all that's a mighty far cry from the Red HOok of the past, my impression of which are a battleground for various gangs of longshoremen, led by Peg Leg Lornegan and others long since gone to whatever rewards they may have had coming. " • • • ' StlU another housing project of importance--this one financed by life insurance company funds--is u£ in the Bronx where modern dwellings are to be built on 120 acres of land. One thing that strikes me as significant is the fact that the buildings will occupy only 26 per cent of the land area. Then, too, housewives who dwell in the apartments won't have far to go to do their shopping. In each block there will be commissaries where various necessities and even some luxuries may be purchased. • • • Times Square eavesdropping: "He's the kin* of a wise guy who'll wear out a quarter's worth of shoes walking to save five cents subway fare" e Bell Syndicate.--WNU Scrvtee,, Entomologists Capture Insects With Beer Mix WASKESIU, SASK --Two enterprising entomologists, C.

Washington, June 7--With thevpopulace virtually on their toes to herald visiting royalty with pa gentry and pomp, the chief business of this community*-- politics -- is almost at a standstill. A holiday spirit has enveloped the Nation's Capital with dressmakers, tailors and dry cleaners doing a land office business as the fateful hour of royal receptions approaches. Those sturdy democratic folks, who say they would not cross the street to watch the parades, cannot escape from the fanfare of trumpets and the heavy cannons roaring out official saluates to the nation's distinguished guests. Probably a half million people will see the King and Queen of England from the sidelines, but only a small portion of our political nobility \dllget near enough to bow and curtsyJ^sExis a week of thrills and social Wfartaches. While the two-day visit of the English monarchs * has wrecked Routine matters, the desire of Congress to avoid a long summer session has kept" some mills operating. Considerable progress has been noted in clearing up the legislative slates. Despite the time-consuming tactics of some groups having a tendency to tangle parli amentary matters to get away cannot be suppressed. The defeat of the Townsend pension bill by an over whelming House vote simplified the problem of rushing amendments to the Social Security Act. Efforts to ex tend the benefits of this act to thedomestics (and fariy help probably will fail «pt this session. The neutrality policy, which Congress must consider^ seems a stumbling block to adjournment. Weeks of hearings have produced plenty of In formation but provoked little or r.o demand for quick action. Heretofore the Roosevelt Administration has been disposed to> let thei Senate thresh it out unassist«?d. Lately the danger of having Congress quit without a nea trality law on the statute books has stirred the White House into a fervor. The hint has been dropped that the President may call a special session 'solely on the neutrality matter in event the boys retreated from Capitol Hill wihout settling the muddle of our attitude in foreign affairs. Harassed by tlie politicians as popular scapegoats for the depression, private business is now cheered at the prospect of Congress antL the Administration settling down to cases on plans looking toward a stimulation of trade. After months ot dilly-dallying, Secretary of Commerce Hopkins has put on steam to expedite better coordination between the government and business. The Mead bill for encouraging loans to small business has gained momentum. Modification of onerous tax burdens is in the air. The chief difficulty is devising a method of tax revision which will grant relief to business without incurring a loss in Federal revenues. Tht> existing revenue law expires June 30, which makes it imperative to extend the effective day. There is a lot of politics involved as Congress has taken the ball away from Mr. Roosevelt in tax relief and has no intention of losing their grip by failure to make specift? changes. Tabulations of the Treasury show that New York State still leads the1 commonwealths by several lengths in the number and size of individual income tax returns. > Apparently the Wage and Hour Administiation has scant hope of obtaining amendments to the present statute at this session. Just at a time when their spokesmen in the House were ready to make a final effort to stave off the opposition of the organized farm groups, Administrator Andrews threw some fuel on the fire by submitting a report comparing the living costs in five Northern and five Southern cities. It was this differential that stymied the original bill for two years. A special survey under governmental auspices showed that while, on the average, rents in fwe Southern cities surveyed is 7.6 per cent lower than for similar housj ing in the North and fuel costs are 34.2 per cent lower, there was no essential difference in food costs. k The cost of clothing was 2 per cent higher in the five Southern cities surveyed; furniture, furnishings and equipment 3.8 per cent higher, and miscellaneous items 3 per cent higher. The survey revived sectional issues. Land speculators who expect to capitalize on buying lands along routes of the proposed transcontinental superhighways will not find easy sledding. A recommendation of the U. S. Bureau of Public Roads calls for the creation of an independent Federal Land Authority empowered to acquire lands needed for public purposes. Unlike the railroads in their early days, the government would probably put pressure on those demanding fancy prices for rights of way along these road projects. It is proposed that the land should be leased by the states fcnd their sub-divisions on a basis which would result in amortization of cost. Incidentally, the Bureau concluded that cross-country superhighways cannot be supported by tolls. Law ia Unioa of South Africa The established law in the Union of South Africa is the Roman Dutch law.

It was suggested by the story of Jacob's vision, found in Genesis 28: 10-22.
