...Ferry. Margaret Halstead's father, friend of Lawyer Cravath, was until recently U. S. Consul General in London. His strapping soprano daughter was a nervous, inexperienced siren as Venus in Tannhäuser last week, but she sang the difficult music accurately, often beautifully.

The taxpayer is revolting against the needless burden he has been required to bear. New local governments are made to assume new and costly services, including unemployment relief on an unprecedented scale and yet operate with reduced taxes. Many medicine men are prescribing aids for the local government in the form of state or federal assistance.
