—f-iHE naan In the officer's chair lit
• | a fresh cigar and angrily flung
, X the match aside.
“Cockeyed, idiotic business !” he
snarled.... .
‘‘A whole production tied up while
we sit here waiting for some wop bum
to be dragged In off the streets. It’s
the damnedest thing £ ever heard of!”
Stuart Booth eyed him contemptu-
ously and said nothing.
Fiberg made a gesture of concili-
ation.
“Now listen, Nick,” he begged; “be
reasonable a little, couldn't you? Ain’t
the only chance we got worth anyhow
a try?”
“Yes; I should think, Hormell,”
Booth put In coldly, “that after all the
fuming you've clone over this part, you
might see how my suggestion works
out before you start crabbing.”
The director twisted swiftly around
in the chair to face him, snapping:
“Look here,. JR.ua rt; I never agreed
to- tills wild notion of yours, and I
won't pretend to now. Here We have
« scene that needs an operatic star,
and you talk ’em Into going after a
dago banana peddler you’ve heard
modeling behind his pushcart. If I’m
expected to enthuse over that—well,
it’s « laugh, that’s all."
“All right; now we’ll Just add the
rest of It: you want an Italian tenor,
yet you can’t afford anyone big for
such ft smalt role. There’s no foreign
language singer available on the lot,
so whefe are you? Stuck. And then
when I offer the one Idea that may
solve your problem, you beef!"
“Well,” Hormell grumbled, “it sim-
ply doesn’t sound sensible. If lie was
going into a chorus. . . . But the
man’s got to do a solo, and—”
“Hey, look!” Fiberg had turned to-
ward the sound stage entrance.
“Is that him?”
The others swung around.
Just inside the door stood a little
round man In baggy trousers and a
gay lavender shirt. .
His great mop of black curls was
uncovered and the olive moon face
beneath showed gentle perplexity.
Stuart Booth went forward, calling:
“Hello, Pietro I Come right over
here.”
The Latin’s teeth gleamed In a wide
slow smile.
“Ah, Signor Boot*! You send for
me, si? Dey no tell me—joost say,
‘You Pietro Pasquale? Come to da
studio.’ I don’t know what ees, but
here f am."
Hormell had approached and was
staring critically at the Italian.
Before Booth could speak again, he
said curtly:
“Ail right, Tony—let’s hear you
sing."
The small dark man gazed up with
polite incomprehension and replied:
“Excuse, plees; da name she’s
Pietro, an’ I don’t know joost what
you talk. Maybe you joke, si?”
“Keep still a minute,” Booth said
sharply to the director; “give me a
chance to explain to him. . . .
Listen, old timer; we’re in a fix here;
you can help us out and, incidentally,
make yourself fifty dollars for a cou-
pie of hours’ work—just singing.”
The fellow made a quick little bow
and said:
“Sure, sure; she’s made me very
happy to do somet’eengs for you.”
The set across the stage, however,
had caught his eye and he started to
wander off toward it.
The actor grasped his arm as Hor-
mell let out a snort of exasperation
and demanded:
“Well, are we soing through with
the farce, or is inis gentleman just
a sightseer?"
“That’s what Pm saying,” Fiberg
agreed.
“He acts like he was doing us a
favor. What’s the big Idea?”
Pietro met the producer’s scowl
with grave dignity.
“Excuse, plees,” he corrected; “she’s
only for Signor Boot’ I do eet.”
Fiberg gaped Incredulously a mo-
ment ; then:
“Say, what’s the matter from you?”
he yelped.
“Nobody’s asking you should do any-
thing gratis. Fifty smackers you get
for just one song—even if you don’t
sing very good, maybe!”
Again that broad calm smile spread
over the swart features.
“That ees all right, signor. Pm
love to seeng, anyhows.”
Once there he commenced to stroll
away. Stuart Booth cried:
“But, Pietro! It has to be done this
afternoon—right 'now!”
The Italian halted at once, a mildly
shocked surprise entering his expres-
sion.
“Oh—si? Excuse, plees; I’m not un-
derstan’.*’
A savage groan from Hormell.
“Listen, Booth,” he bawled; “either
you get that spaghetti gobbler war-
bling lh the next two minutes, or I
quit. Savvy?”
The actor glared sourly at him and
turned again to Pietro, explaining:
“You see, there’s an Italian se-
quence in the picture we’re making.
Several of us are traveling along a
mountain road and we come to a small
inn. 'i he proprietor’s sitting on the
piazza, carrying wood and singing
seme air from an opera.. Now that’s
What we want you for! Can you do
it?’’
Pietro laughed—a full and carefree
sound with no hint of scorn in It.
THE LAMPASAS LEADER
“Why, sure!” ho exclaimed buoy-
antly.
“You mean like dees?”
Back went his head, a breath was
taken, and suddenly there poured forth
a rich torrent of golden melody as he
began an aria from “I Pagllacci."
It rose and swelled and filled the
great room with glorious music.
In a moment people from all over
the stage had gathered round.
Not a note In all that song was less
than perfection.
Long before he had finished, Fiberg
and the director were huddled togeth-
er, whispering excitedly.
Even Stuart Booth was astonished.
At last It ended and the little Ital-
ian gazed about him, a trifle startled.
Then Hormell and the producer wore
rushing forward in a dual fever of
Ingratiation.
“Say, that’s the finest thing I evor
gave a listen to!’’ Fiberg chattered.
And the director:
“Marvelous ! Where ^have you been
hiding all these years?”
In a quick aside to Booth, he
breathed: “My G—d, man—why didn’t
„you tell me about this sooner? He’s
the greatest find I’ve ever run acros.1!’’
Fiberg, an arm about the singer’s
shoulders, was talking rapidly:
“Now, Mr. Pasquale, here’s the way
I’m figuring it. You’ll want to do a
couple of small parts and then we
star you. How about a six months’
contract with options, at—well, say
two hundred and fifty a week?”
The three studio men waited, their
eyes upon the Latin’s face.
For an instant bewilderment was
there; then slowly he looked from one
to the other with something very like
disbelief.
“Joost a meenutje," he said finally;
“Maybe I’m don’t understan’ again.
You want that I come here every day
and seeng for da peectures, si?”
They nodded.
Pietro Pasquale made a queer small
noise In his throat and stepped back,
shaking free of the producer’s em-
brace.
“Excuse, plees!” He spoke with a
ringing firmness. “She’s very kind of
you—but, no!”
“You—you mean you’re refusing the
contract?”
“Si, signor.”
Palpably he was in dead earnest.
“Listen, plees: When I am a boy
een Milano, always I seeng, joost for
happiness. Den one day somebody
she’s hear me an’ say, You mus’ study
for da career! I am young fool, so
I do eet. Five, six year I keep on,
at las' get een La ‘Scala opera an’ pret’
soon have da name een lights. Bravo,
bravo! But all da joy she’s gone when
each night I have to seeng so much,
so long. So now I have geeve all dat
up an’ come here where I can poosh
da cart to make enough for Roslta
an’ da bamblnos an’ me. Seeng?
Signor, I do eet for gladness, but she’s
not enough money een all da world
to buy from Pietro a song ever again J”
Nevada Marsh Yields
Rich Sodium Sulphate
Sodium sulphate, once a plentiful by-
product of nitric and hydrochloric acid
manufacture, has become relatively !
scarce In this country because of re-
cent changes in the manufacturing
processes of those acids, writes P. C.
Rich in Chemical and Metallurgical
Engineering. Just when it began to
appear that the United States would
have to depend on imports for its so-
dium sulphate, an isolated desert
marsh began to yield this chemical in
practically pure form. This strange
deposit, where sodium sulphate, or a
“glaubers salt” can be scooped up by
steam shovel Is known as Rhodes
Marsh, and Is located in Mineral coun-
ty, Nevada.
A few years ago, P. S. Williams, a
chemical engineer at one time associ-
ated with a concern producing sodium
sulphate from Carrizo lake, California,
came across an old report of Prof.
Joseph LeConte, geology professor at
the University of California, in which
mention was made of an enormous de-
posit of glaubers salt at Rhodes. Iu
1928 he was able to Interest a group
of San Francisco men who spent con-
siderable time prospecting the deposit,
surveying the markets, and Investigat-
ing processes for recovery of the sul-
phate. The first plant was erected in
1930. With the experience thus gained
as a basis, a program of improvement
was Initiated late in 1932.
Rhodes Marsh is roughly circular in
shape. The mineralized section is
about 200 acres In area and covered
with 6 inches to 2 feet of silt. On the
south half of the deposit, a 15-foot lay-
er of glaubers salt is found immedi-
ately under the overburden; in places
It has been found to be present at a
depth of 80 feet.
Mother at Seven
A case of a child born to a seven-
year-old girl, reported by Dr. Hilda
Keane, of Victoria Zenana hospital,
Delhi, is mentioned in the British Med-
ical Journal. An unmarried Moham-
medan girl was admitted to hospital
on March 18, 1932,” says Doctor Keane.
Her age, as given by her father, was
seven. Her general development was
good, and she had fair Intelligence.
Her height was only 3 feet 11 Inches,
and her weight only 48 pounds. She
still had her milk teeth. A living fe-
male child was born weighing 4 pounds
3 ounces. Beyond suffering from fright
for the first three days, the mother
mxde a perfect recovery and was able
to nurse her child for nine months.
Economy
Son—You sure are a lucky man,
father.
Dad—Why so?
Son—Because you won’t have to buy
me any school books next year. J
didn’t pass.
CHILDISH IMAGINATION
Parents tell “lies” to # children
about Santa Claus and encourage
them to read “Baron Munchausen,'’
“Mother Goose,” “Gulliver’s Trav-
els,” and so on, without end—all
“lies.”
By the same token, it seems, Dr.
David M. Trout told parents at the
annual child welfare conference at
Iowa City, Iowa, to encourage the
“lies” tokl by small children. “Be-
fore the fifth year,” he said, “the
child is unable to imagine time, or
distance, accurately, and, for that
reason, the tall tales he tells are not
lies, but products of nn awkward im-
agination. Parents should treat this
story-telling as a game, and help the
child play it.”
All children, of course, live in a
dream world, in which miracles are
the law of nature. Some parents,
then, may have difficulty in under-
standing why Doctor Trout also ad-
vised that it is unwise to require a
child to say prayers, or to try to give
him some concept of God.—Literary
Digest.

Belfast Leads Dublin
On April 18, 192(5, the population
of Belfast was officially given as
415,151. A census of population in
the Irish Free State taken at the
same time gave Dublin 316,093 in-
habitants, No census has been taken

Sex determination, breeding male
or female animals as desired, has
been accomplished.
Baby rabbits, 180 out of 200 hav-
ing the sex that was planned for
them, so far constitute living proof
of the success of the method. Sever-
al hundred births among Russian cat-
tle and swine this summer will show
whether the method has practical
value for cattle breeding, as is ex-
pected by Prof. N. K. Koltzoff, the
biologist who devised it.
The technique will be successful
in bringing human children of the
desired sex also, Professor Koltzoff
claims. But the human application is
minor and chiefly sentimental in his
opinion. Parents should be happy
whether their baby is a boy or a girl,
says the professor, who himself Is
childless.
His chief interest is in its applica-
tion to cattle breeding. In nature
the sexes of animals are about
equally divided. To eliminate almost
half that are useless for increase—
the males—and to supplant them
with progeny-bearing stock spells an
annual profit or growth dividend of
50 to 80 per cent.
Professor Koltzoff’s method is
based on the discovery of American
investigators, Prof. E. B. Wilson of
Columbia, Prof. E. C. McClung of
the University of Pennsylvania, and
the late Dr. N, M. Stevens. These
investigators showed that sex in ani-
mals is determined by the fertilizing
elements which are equally divided
into those having male and those
having female potentialities.
These elements are living cells,
and Professor Koltzoff found that,
like other cells, they carry an elec-
trical charge. Accordingly fie was
able to separate them by passing an
electric current through them, and
to produce male or female rabbits.
