There was rain there. And all the thrills of being "back In the game" could not drive away the clouds, which hovered over Seattle, the director of the Med ford Gleemen admitted upon return from the opera season, which lasted just three weeks, because "the people didn't have the money." We left a dark house behind us," Mr. Stevens said yesterday referring to the Metropolitan. "We hated to do It. They hated to have us do It. But that Is the w&y with opera to day. The New Yorkers took the train for the east, to what they have no Idea. I took the train for home. And I'm glad to be back In Med ford. The public doesn't understand," Jim who has played with the best- of them from coast to coast, then explained. "When I started, I didn't really ex pect to stay. It was a chance. When you start on a show, you may be back the next day. It was always like that, but It la more like that now. But It was a grand experience. I wanted to see If I could still do It. I hadn't sung with a New York com pany for eight years, professionally. I found, well, the show was all right. It was smart. The company one of the best. But they charged (1.65. At the Hippodrome In New York this summer the public Is hearing grand opera for 50 cents. "The galleries were filled for each performance In Seattle, but the peo ple didn't come down front. We started out with "Student Prince." Then came "The Merry Widow" and then the "Vaganbond King", one of the best. The lines alone should put It over, and there were voices. Ruth Altman of New York, a prima donna of the first rank. The crowd got smaller. 'Chocolate Soldier" was next on the bill But we didn't get that far," the sentence was closed with the characteristic Stevens laugh. "The opera crowd is still thore, somewhere. I feel sure of It," Mr. Stevens then added In defense of the people. "You've Just got to get down to their price. "James Liddy was leading man. Robert Capron was comedian, Alonzo Prince, director. All from New York. Those names mean something. They used to spell at least 10 weeks In a city. Now, they are Just going home. "Five legitimate theatres are now open In New York. The show busi ness Is passing thru a very serious period. There used to be hundreds of companies on the road. Now you ian count them on the fingers of one hand. But wouldn't you like to see my wild flower garden?", Mr. Steven walked Into the yard. "The poppies seem to predominate," he laughed. "And I planted all kinds of seeds, threw them to the winds."

Like the tides, every depression since 1700 has hit a "mean low" which these experts llnd fairly rep resented by the low of 1893. From this mean low the country has In variably risen. You can account for the upslant as easily as you can for the down. It happens, and that seems to be all there Is to It. Nothing can be done to halt a de pression. Not much can be done for recovery except to get ready for the turn of the tide. By the figures oi these experts the tide in this depression had run to mean low last June.- By July a turn was due. It came. Not in a steady flow. No tides does that. It returns in waves, and so does a business re vival. But that the business tide !s coming in again the suns are too many to doubt. New Yorkers are alarmed at it rush and for safety's sake are striving to hold It in check. What Edison meant was that this fixed rise and fall in affairs Is it mat ter of the human will not the will of a group or a generattou but the will of enduring humanity Itself. That Is a force of Nature. The gooseflesh of a depression derives from a chilling of this will under neath. In good times It functions well. It surges on to make times bet ter. Prom surge It passes to splurge. It stages a balloon ascension. The balloon always bursts and down drops the national will to a period of par alysis. Then It dusts itself off and goes on. ' Business Is reviving now because this inherent will to live Is reviving. It is no hypothesis but a force al ready at work. Mr. Roosevelt was elected by this general will toward another effort. The president and congress get credit for the recovery program. The will of the people put It through. They have the will to buy at last. A large corporation lately devoted ex pensive advertising space to picture what? A mass of re-employed men entering its factory gates, brought back by increase of buying. New York, national clearing house of Information, finds the purchasing agents of great corporations, bought little or nothing on lng markets of two years now buying ahead far ahead. Be cause tomorrow's prices may be high er, those of next month or next year still higher. For the 'first time in two years we have not a. buyer's but a seller's market In Important lines.

On the basis of these tests, we find Standard Gasoline is unsurpassed in MILEAGE per gallon. Each of the seven fuels tested was purchased by our representative in the open market from regular consumer outlets and was identifiable during the tests by code name known only to us. All tests were conducted by us under carefully controlled conditions of operation, 'n a '933 stock model sedan, over a measured circular course, on the Oakland Speedway, in accordance with the rules and policies of the AAA Contest Board.
