Nationwide Interest in
Meeting at Cleve-
land—European
Trade Big Factor
Wm. H. Dlerenger. secretary of
the South Nor-walk Board of Trade,
which is a. member of the Chamber
of Commerce of~the United States.
today issued a. statement calling at-
tention to the importance of the
problems upon which the attention
of the business interests of the coun-
try will be focussed at the annual
meeting of the National Chamber at
Cleveland. May 6 to 8.
“Three of the major questions
confronting American business at
the present time." her said. “are the
agricultural situation. the European
situation and its bearing upon do—
mestic industry and the export
trade, and the responsibility and in-
tegrity of business. They all will
be discussed at Cleveland.
“These are general problems upon
the solution of which the continued
prosperity of the country in large
measure depends and they can be
solved only by united effort. They
will be laid before the delegates at-
tending tho annual meeting of the
National Chamber from all sections
of the country by speakers of na—
tional and international distinction.
“Interest in centered for the mo-
ment upon the ethical side of busi-
ness. The fact is being brought
home to many people that integrity
is absolutely essential in modern
business practice, for business is no
longer a. matter of purely personal
contacts. it is national and even in-
ternational in scope. Buyers and
fillers in many cases never meet.

among the first seven best customers
of the Ifnltcd States last year. Im-
provement in their buying power
means an improvement of our ex—
port trade. The outlook in Europe
and the prospects of an economic
adjustment will be put before the
meeting in Cleveland by obScrvcrs
who have been in close touch. with
European affairs.
“A better understanding of all
these questions and practical sug—
gestions for the improvcnunt of
business conditions will probably be
the outcome of the discussion. The
business aspect of many other ques-
tions of current interest will be con-
sidered at group meetings which
will dcal with transportation. insur-

NEW YORK, April 17.—-Not all
the discoveries are in the field of
science. Some man wins distinc-
tion by discovering a. new “speak
easy.” where whatever you take in
exchange for your violation of the
law of the land is at least good.
Another has discovered that as fast
as Frank Munsey kills newspapers
there are others ready to give birth
to new ones. And then again. it
may be recalled that Gall! Curci
was a. discovery. She had been
singing all over New York without
attracting notice. She sang no bet—
ter after her discovery than before.
Rosa Ponselle was discovered in a
cheap vaudeville act. and there is
said to be maturing at. present time
the early exploitation of a. young
\Velsh singer. a. tenor. who. if the
predictions made by competent
judges who have heard him are
trustworthy. will bring a new and
potent star to the concert. oratorlo
and perhaps grand opera. stage.
This new discovery is a young
W'clsh miner. \Vllllam Morgan by
name. who has been heard- by an
American impresarlo and'an Amer-
ican-\Vclsh patron of music. and
the young singer will be prepared
for a. Metropolitan debut which, it
is believed, will bring him to the
gracious attention of our masters of
music and result in his ascendancy
in the musical flrmaint.

also a. dramatic version of Tolstoy's

some highly diverting and excellent-
ly written plays, and since they are
given with full script. it is a volume
of, more than ordinary value and
interest.
AT THE THEATRES
ammo
“Half A Dollar Bill"
“Half A Dollar Bill" opened to-
day at the Rialto theatre for a
lwo~day engagement where its rc-
ception by crowded audiences indi-
cates a. successful engagement. In-
deed. “Half A Dollar Bill" has
every popular element to insure fa-
vor. It is a. sea. story and the
author, Curtis Benton, has given it
a. novel twist. It is splendidly not-
cd by Anna. Q. Nilsson and a. superb
cast.
