AMARILLO KNOWS y ENH HOWE, of the little town of Amnrillo, Texas, is VJ only a country editor, but he knows his opera. In par ticular he knows his "Thais." So when the Chicago Civic Opera company played Amarillo for a one-night stand under a $ 1 2,500 guarantee by the business community and put on an abbreviated version of "Thais" with Mary Garden in the title -role, Editor Gene, in the audience, knew that not all was its udvertised and.told his readers so in his paper. -Now Anmrillans might eonceibably have been able to control their disappointment at lack of a full length bill. Love of grand opera is, in a way, like the taste for alligator pears it has to be acijiiircd. And at a grand opera perform ance, unless one is fully up to it, there is apt to come reali zation sometime before midnight that bedtime is bedtime. And Mary at l2 is not the Thais of yesteryear, even to the operrf-conscious listener. So relief rather than grief might have been expected as the chief reaction of the Amarillans to the fact of a shortened bill if that had been the only fac tor involved. - Hut it was the principle of the thing that enraged Ajria rillahs when Editor Gene told them that they had not got all they had agreed to pay for. "No slicker opera company can come here and garner a guarantee with half a perform ance," declared Amarillo's Main street. And plainly no such thing can be done while Gene Howe's typewriter ribbon and printer's ink hold out to let his public know what is miss ing. ' Amarillo fairly bellowed its rage. A check represent ing $2500 of the guarantee was refused honor. "Sue us ior it; we dare you," said the guarantors to the opera man agement. There has been no suit. Mary Garden, in most unmusical tones, publicly swore at Editor Gene, who in addition to showing that a cut bill had been perpetrated, also had published some truths about the decadence- of Mary's voice. A few of Amarillo's dilettante it seems Amarillo has a dilettante threatened to boy cott .Editor Gene's newspaper, but the merchant's associa tion, whose members are of the typo who believe that money talks louder than singers sing, sent a delegation to Gene to telrhim that if his newspaper was not getting a full measure of needed support in the community, alt the advertisers were prepared voluntarily to raise their own rates. With rare for bearance, Editor Gene said "No, thank you." 1 ".Amarillo's mayor is Ernest G. Thompson and he is n colonel. While the dispatches ara silent on the point, it is a perfectly safe guess that he has a bristly moustache. Booimed the mayor-colonel to the world : "Amarillo is not a Toonervllle and we do not intend to bo taken for a ride by a big company f rem a big city." And the colonel was durned well tootiu' when he said it, for Amarillo is fighting mad and is fighting. No cultural hall'-loavcs for Amarillo if Ama rillo knows it. And in this case Amarillo does know it, be cause Editor Gene has told it so. I C AINlT BELIEVE. UE5 1 'fo tjVhu,Vi .

POEM FOR THE DAY By LOUIS ALBERT BANKS THE CENTURY MAID 1 he Assncinlcd Press brought this spiccy news note from Boston, Rntflnnd, February 15th, 1929; "Miss Wilhchninn Robinson has rca'.hed the age of 100 years. '1 detest men,' she avowed on reaching the century mark, 'and I put down my lon and happy life to the fap.t that I was never foolish enough to many one. "Miss Withelmina wears a frilly cap and shares her rooms with two milk-white cats both ladies. " 'Single women have a far better life than any wife said the white haired little spinster. 'The girls of today are a scandal. It is men, men, men, nil the time.' "Courting and the technique of proposing leap years or any years never concerned her at any lime. Miss Robinson de clared emphatically. " '1 never asked any man to marry me and no one ever asked me to many him,' she said. 1 always hated men." I his century maid awakes my mirth A hundred years upon the earth And yot she never had a beau 1 hat hundred years so s-l-ow, so s l ow! She's hated men right from the start, x Has always had that fiorn heart A hundred years all unpromoted. And now to be so widely quoted I I'm sorry for this lonely soul, '1 is such a melancholy role I A bundled years without a mate Just eaten up with foolish hate. She's missed the sweetest things in life She might have been n joyous wife. She's never known how rich to hve, Because she's had no love to give. A lonely maid with two white cats, ith not n chance for even rats To find with her a comfy nest And keep awake her living est. T ho$e two white t ats all sleek and tony Are strongest plea for matrimony. It moves me almost unto tears My souk just cats one hundred yens! No girl who ever loved a boy Would turn lo cats to find her joy. But this poor soul was never kissed Oh. think of all the joy she's missed I But for a lonely sad example She surely is n case that's ample. All girls should learn before too late To cling to love and not to halo. "Whon I be1 Kan business on my own account, I had absolutely nothing buL my intelligence.". "That was a hiiuiII beginning!" The other day we met on old mall carrier on his rounds, his pack bulging wilh a heavy load. "Hello. Jim, how's the postal business?" we asked. Ho slopped, ejected a quid of to bacco, and said: "Listen; tell me something what the heck do so many people find to write about?"' One fellow who la sure that men came from monkeys Is the man who sweeps up (he peanut shells after a ball game. Our Idea of the height of em barrassment is to have picked the wront? cigarette in one of those blindfold tests we see advertised in the magazines. The Tunney Technique (Astoria Astorlan.) Tunney killed a bull? No, say Madrid newspapers In denying re ports thut the - social arbiter of American ringdom had stepped in to a Spunlsh hull ring and cowed the cow'h husband. Despite the con flicting reports we are sure of one or two things. If Tunney stepped in to the bull ring with a bull present at I ho t ime, he must have had a purse or at least 500 "grand" handed him by the management soipo time previous to the evont and If Uie bull died it was probably' of exhaustion In an endeavor to catch the former pugilist, who holds all records for the backward marathon.
