Among the questions answered by persons filling out applications for U. S. citizenship is Question No. 22, asking whether the applicant, if admitted to citizenship, would bear arms for the U. S.

Namiko San, a Japanese opera with libretto and music by Aldo Franchetti, features Tamaki Miura, Japanese soprano. Little Mme. Miura's fingers are like daisy petals in careful array. Her voice carries a suggestion of tartness. Her movements are all nicely studied. Her role is that of a 16-year-old maiden of ancient Japanese legend, in love with a Buddhist monk from the white mountain tops, possessed by a tyrannous Daimio, lord of the low, broad acres...
