This organization had live years' ex

"The Melting Pot" Is a great drama
with on Interesting story, but It Is vast

as the melting pot of the world. Into
this crucible, benciiih which burns tho
fires of our political and soclnl philoso
phy, refugees from all parts of the
earth, men and women oppressed by
tho arbitrary dictum of crimo and re

phy and appeals to every patriotic
American citizen.

During a history examination ono
question asked by the teacher was:
"When was Rome built?"
The first to answer was a youngster
near the front, and his response was:
"At night." . , ,
"At night?" repeated tho astonished
instructor. How in the world did you
get such an idea as that?"
"Why, I've often heard my dad say
that Rome wasn't built in a day," said
the boy.

thousand people. Great artists such as Marie Rappold,
Anna Case, Alice Verlet, Christine Miller, Marie

lovers have confessed their inability to distinguish the
real voices from Edison's Re-Creations of them.
