Eugene F. O'M al ley. 27-year-old conductor of the J Paulist choristers, one of tbe world's famous a capella choirs. Perhaps the boys need more care, for tbeir vocal chorda are tender ' and 'Undeveloped; says Father (TMalley, and so, while the divas are absorbing tbeir ultra-violet rays at some smart beach, the young choristers are getting theirs at Indian Lake, Wis., where a "choir villa" has been rented for the summer. : An hour and a half practice daily, in two sessions plenty of play in the sunshine and a diet regulated for singers, is the sched ule of the CO boys, ranging In age from 8 to 20 years. Roles at tbe Tilla are few. No visiting with strangers, not too much swimming, and promptness at meals, which includes break fast. "These boys are all city boys and they need to get out in the fresh air and sunshine," Father O'Malley points out. "Further, we don't want them to lose their va cations. But we can't let up for a moment in the practice. This is our silver anniversary and it has taken those 25 years to build this choir. If the boys go all summer without practice we would have to start ail over again." Membership in the choir is held a great honor by boys in tbe vari ous Catholic parishes of Chicago, and more so by . their parents. Hardly a, day goes - by that the conductor does not examine sever al applicants brought in by fond mothers. Few are taken of the 750 or more who are given audi tions yearly. Chotr rules, too. are few, but stringent. All of the singing is from memory and the little sing ers must be letter perfect. They must keep eyes glued on tbe con ductor, never look away for an instant while singing. Father O'Malley, not so many. years ago, was singing in it. with the hope that some day he might lead it. At the request of the com munity be was sent to Europe and England to study for the leader ship. Tbe choir was formed in 1904 by the Rev. .William Finn, now of New York City. Under his di rection the choristers won fame abroad, as well as in America. - Proof oJOaklandValuc Superiority The following tacta were obtained from a compartm of the Oakland AH-American Six with 20 other medium-priced antooaobuea.

In 121, before the Fascist gov ernment came into power, illiter acy In Italy Reached 31 per cent, meaning that practically one out of every three persons could not read or write. This figure has been reduced to 27 per cent, as of the end of 1927. when the census started. A still further reduction could be chron icled today. The reduction is go ing on at the rate ot about one per cent a year. At the same time the number of elementary schools is on the in crease. In 1922-1923 there were 112,073.
