26. OP) Through the medium of talking pictures grand opera will become entertainment of the masses instead of the classes, in the belief of Josia Zuro, director of music (for Pathe studio. "Unless the music nov.ee hears the greatest artists in their greatest performances, he does not come to appreciate the true beauty of the medium," Zuro said. "A second class artist playing Hamlet' makes one wonder what Is great the play itself. Careful discrimination in music and Opera is equally as important.

"Sound p.ctures will enable the artist to record his best peiform-ance and the conductor to inject his utmost ability into every presentation. He will have greater Incentive to rise to heights in musical creation, knowing that he is P-cdiiing something for posterity. Opera and music lihns w.i! fire the imagination and spinr oi the people and through this association and contact a new era ol music will be born perhaps the era of the great American opera."

To Bring War Dead From Russian Graves (San Bernardino Sun) A commission of five Americans are en route to northern Russia in an effort to find the graves and exhume the bodies of more than 100 soldiers of the United States who lost their lives during the World war. As most of the dead are soldiers recruited from Michigan that state has taken the initiative of creating the commission now en route to Russia.

The United States maintains no diplomatic connections with the Russian Soviet government and there is therefore no regular channel through which negotiations for the return of the deed could be conducted. The seining of a.i American expedionary force into Russia was one of the blunders of the war. The original purpose of the allied movement in Russia was to keep the Germans from transfering troops from the eastern to the western front after the Russian collapse. But instead of fighting the Germans, the troops had occasional clashes wjth the bolshevists. The United States never declared war against Russia and when it developed that there would be clashes with Russians rather than with Germans, the American troops should have been removed from Russian soil.

Most of the Americans who gave their lives on Russian soil died from cold and exposure. Popular opinion demanded the return of the American expeditionary forces in Russia. 0 1 Pen Points LOUISE THADEN DERBY WINNER TWO KILLED ON KETTLEMAN ROAD PUBLIC UTILITIES MARKETS LEADERS ON S. F.

The same amount attentioh to the more serious problems his own business and to a more accur-4e analysis of his operations, should have ought him much greater returns. The same principle applies to the ques- in whether a person should devote every lj; ticle of his own strength to pushing his interest ahead, or whether he should jj ve a little of his time and thought to mmunity projects.

The success of each individual depends lift only on his efforts devoted to his own ijtork, but on the question whether his home tjjun is prosperous and advancing or not. T'l'rhis home town is stationary or falling behind, he is pushing against considerable obstacles in trying to enlarge his business. It would better economy of effort and time, if he and the rest of the business pcoplr would devote a moderate portion of their time to the problem of pushing the community ahead. In that case they all would get a share of the growth, and everyone would benefit as the result of the increase of the sources from which they all draw their prosperity.
