STEVENS RETURNS
L
Junes Stevens U home again. And
Medlord and "Jim" are rejoicing.
There Is sunshine here. 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.

At the Washington end an occas
ional rift appears. In a movement
as broad as this recovery program
that is to be expected. So la a reas
onable solution of every problem to
be expected. The national will to
recovery will attend to that.
At the moment labor Is asking
questions. This depression dealt it
the heaviest blow in its history. Nat
urally it is sore and la nervous. With
business on the upswing It want Its
millions of idle re-employed. It wants
Its old wages restored. It wants
shorter hours and weeks. It ques

employers. Some of Its grievances
are sound.

Here is the AAA Report. Read it: "This is to certify that we, the Contest
Board of the American Automobile Association, have conducted a series of tests
on Standard Gasoline, manufactured by Standard Oil Company of California, for
comparative mileage under actual road conditions, in comparison with six other gaso
lines considered to be of leading brands. 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.
This statement is based on data developed by and on file with the AAA Contest
Board."
