TWENTY: Mary-Garden Errtmsiasticf 7 oT.Ar.n .Tan. 22. (By Associated V Press). The first woman to have com plete business and artistic chaw of one of the big American grand -opera companies, in short, to be the dictator of the-'enterprise. Mary Garden out lined today what she ttoupht opera should mean, throughout the United States. Miss Garden, known in Chica go and 'n numerous other American cities as "Our Mary." was appointed to the joint role of a star, artistic di rector and business manager of the Chicago Opera association early this Marv Garden's ambition is to make opera "and herself as well loved by the people of the whole United States as she is by the people of Chicago Enthusiasm, fervor, hard work, con stant supervision, strict economy and modern opera rather than the old, are only a few things that Miss Garden promises to show the people of Amer ica that she has in her and is capable of producing. ' "Music, real music," said Miss Gar den, 'is being borne on the high tide of popularity, through the marvelous phonograph and pianola, into the homes of almost every family in this country. I hope to take advantage of this and by hard work, bring opera up to, the place that it deserved in the liearts of the people. Wouldn't it be wonderful, if by doing this I will have made them love opera and me as well as the people of Chicago have convinc 2d me that they love me?" Insists on Perfection Constant supervision, insjstenca on having her every performance as per fect as fc was possible to get it, through both the supporting company and the equipment, is assigned by Miss Garden as probably the chief reason .that the board of directors of the'Cni ;ago Opera company have seen fit to place her in the position that was held for years by Cleofonte Campaninl. . "The public makes : opera .possible and I think that the public deserves the very best that can be assembled," added Miss Garden. "Some artists have said that 'Garden gets everything she wants. No wonder she is a success.' I have fought argued, criticised and Insisted on my performance receiving the best treatment possible because I knew the Public wanted this as well as I. I believed I was right and I fought for my own ideas. . As a rule, I realized them." Miss Garden is strongly of the opin ion that the people of today want mod ern operas and as she was instrumen tal In introducing the modern grand opera, she said that naturally she in- , tends to carry out her ideas with the Chicago Opera company along these lines. "I shall produce half French and half Italian operas," she said. "But at least one. American opera during .a season should be produced and I shall tfcy for this. I do not believe in trans lations. They, have proved a failure. "You will remember that I made my premiere in Paris in the title role of 'Louise. This was really one of the first of the modern operas to be pro ( duced. It was some few years later that I interested Mr. Hammerstein in the production" of, trie modern, operas in New Tork. ' History tells you the result. We had several ' very shaky seasons and then it unfortunately fail ed, but the idea was good and the critics were forced to -the fact that the public wanted modern opera and . ' ' v " .' -. we have brp.ught it on to Chicagp.-The people of,: tday "want 'the 4rn-usic of Jto day and, the,.-presentation of the old should never be ' attempted unless 'you have someone whom your know is ca pable of .singing the part. This,; too, may have some effect .on the board, of directors n selecting hieas the head of 'the opera, ' -f i;' . - -' f ' ' ; ' KnOrrM ft Men Wric ' ', Miss. Garden 'apparentlyjrealized the task she has f undertaken for fshe, says: "Work.;! know it meaons work and I am a woman, but it has stmpljr warmed ray heart to . find rth'a,t p have the solid support of everyone.:; It., seems that everyone is urishing- met- success I realize" the position Is "riot easy, yet small' obstacles that ihave: apparently confronted others, t believe have been j overcome merely, by my .appointment. J It is sill jt'to think" that these operatic J artists can not be handled , owing- to their speaking ' seyerar ; a iff ererit lan- 1 guages. ' They are: simply-children and J when one knows them and treats themf 1 1 j ' A ,,.,1.. iiumaniy fin 14 . nuv . hig uu uiiuci one's feet, any trouble along the line complained of will Instantly disappear. They are loyal to the very core and this phase of the position gives me no worry whatever." 'That Miss , Garden Is a lousiness wo man with far more than"; the usual business acumen credited to a star on the artistic horiton,' was shown by her announcement that economy must be practiced.- "We must - be . economical," she said, "and I 'know that it is possi ble ;to, do so,tfor the-good of all and this Includes the public. For every dollar spent, we must find a dollar re turned In service or equipment. "I do pot at this time know how much the operatic artists of the Chi cago company are being paid. Neither do "I know how much v properties cost. But I do know what" they should cost. I have Ideas of the relative pay that I think the artists should receive. I will give you an example: If Mme. Galli-Curci sings in an opera here, the house will be packed until every seat Is filled, will it not? They have come to hear Mme. Galli-Curci. She Is the drawing card and should be paid ac cordingly; Her support should be paid in proportion. Suppose you . produced the same -opera with the same cast, with the exception of Mine. Galli Curci? Would it prove the same draw ing card? Qt course not. Election Was Sudden "This is only fairness to ail and il shall work along this line. "Tou know the appointment came to me in the most sudden manner. I was sitting at my piano, practicing when Harold F. McCormick entered and ask ed me to step downstairs as the board of directors wanted to see me. I ask ed what.it was about and he answered: 'About the, opera.' I ..went and ques tion after question was fired at. me. I answered them all and. told my opin ions. I was never selfish in keeping my ideas to myself when I saw that by giving them to others the art could be benefited. I then came-back to my room and at that time I had no idea of what was to follow. 'Shortly after ward Mr. McCormick came in and in a most moderate tone. said: 'The board of directors has unanimously elected you to fill Campanini's place. Do Vou accept? I never hesitated. My . an swer was 'Yes.' .'and my ambition is to place opera foremost in the minds 'of America." . wvw itiih r m . van n n m - . -i , - -Men' who maka -thd best records in sport or woitk .are men 01 steaay nerves, well knit muscles and clear brains-i-and to have theseany man must have the health which is the source of vigor, action and achievement.

To the salaried or professional man whose principal source of income is payment f or professional services the problem of making out an Income, tax return Is not as great as that present ed to the owner of a business. In the case of a merchant, manufacturer, or any business in which production, pur chase or sale of merchandise is an income-producing factor, Inventories are necessary at the beginning of each fiscal or calendar year, according to the taxpayer's method of accounting. The fiscal year is an accounting period of 12 months, ending on the last day of any month other than December. Taxpayers who keep their, books on a fiscal-year basis are required to make their returns on that basis. The inventory should Include raw material and supplies on hand that have been acquired for sale or use in production, together with all finished or partly finished goods. It should in clude merchandise sold but not billed to the customer at the date' of Inven tory and any goods out upon consign ment unless such gods- have been in cluded in the sales for the taxable year. It should also include merchan dise purchased though not actually re ceived to which title, has passed to the purchaser. Inventories may be taken either on the basis of cost or . cost or market value, whichever is lower. In the case of a merchant "cost" means the in vdice price , less trade or other dis counts, excepting strictly cash dis counts approximating a fair rate of interest, which may be deducted or not at the option of the taxpayer provid ing a consistent course is followed. , To the net invoice price should he .adde'd the cost of transportation and other ' necessary charges incurred In acquiring possession, of the goods. In the case of a manufacturer "cost" means the cost of raw mate rials and supplies, expenditures for la bor, and indirect , costs incident to pro duction, including a reasonable propor tion of management expenses, but not including any cost of selling or se curing return on capital. "Market" means the current bid price prevailing at the date of the in ventory for the particular merchandise The burden of proof as to the correct ness of the price rests upon the tax payer -; in eacn case, it - the "cost or. marKei". Dasis is used, each class ' of goods must, be itemize'd and the cost or market price of each shown separate ly. The ,yalue of each item ln the in ventory may be measured by the cost or market, whichever is lower. An entire stock may not be inventoried at cost and also at market price, and the lower of the ; two. inventories used. No special -system of accounts is pre scribed by the bureau of internal reve nue, but ! the books, must show , in de ,tall inventories,. "purchases, sales, capi tal. Investments, and similar items . re quired In" making up an income tax re turn. :; The inventory .which can not be taken without some form of accounts, is the compass of a business.. Without it - the direction, in which the business is headings either for success or failure can not be 'determined. , . ; ,7 r Taxable Iaeeme 'u In the making of an income tax re turn for - the year, 1920, taxpayers of Mvarjt ' class; business and t professional man. wage earners, and farmers should present to themselves for considera tion the following questions: Did - you receive any interest on bank deposits? . "':,'. Have you Any. property from which you receive rent? Did you receive any Income in the form of dividend or interest from stocks or bonds? , Did you receive-any "bonuses during the year? Did you make any profit on the sale of stocks, bonds, etc.? Did you act as a broker in any trans action from which you : received com missions? . Are you interested in any partner ship or other, firm Irom which you re ceive any Income? .'Have you . any . minor children who are working? Have yoji contrqi .of the earnings of such , children?' If sot, tna amount must be included in the return of income. Has your wife any Income from any source whatsoever?- If so, it must be included In your return or reported in a separate return-or income. Did you receive any directors fees or trustees' fees in the course of the year? t Do , you 'hold ' any office in a benefit society, from which you ' receive in come Answers to all or these questions are Necessary to determine whether a taxpayer has a net income sufficiently large to require that-he file -a return. If single, or if married and nonliving with wife, and his income for 1920 was $1,000 or more he must make a return regardless . of whether his income is nontaxable by reason of his exemp tions for dependents, or as the head of a family, -,-lf married and living with wife, and his .income was , less than $2,000, he need not make a return. .

Every thoughtful per son faces the New Tear with deep concern. The world outlook is deemed gravest by those who best . know International conditions.. Our own, favored America fronts many-sided problems that will tax our every resource. We are surely Inthe midst of Jays of destiny. - In the realm of individual life the times are :eetingr our soul-stuff. Business men are carrying jurdens that fairly break he'arts. Many working-, nen and their families are already experiencing s ;he bitter pinch of real want. The weight of the world's woe is pressing heavily upon 'ls all. Human spirits everywhere are hungry f for comfort and guidance. . ' ' What shall we do about it all? For do" something we must; the hour is too critical for drifting. The laymen who sign and Issue this paper so do because-of a deep conviction that only by spiritual forces may our -civilization be saved from the ' un- -precedented perils that beset it. The only' way out is the way up. , ., ( , . Holding no'r ecclesiastical -positivns, and repre Beriting, quite unofficially various branches.; of the Christian Church, we take this, unusual step tof- ap pealing directly, through the public press, to men -and women.of all faiths, who believe in an Omnipo tent God and in' the power of-prayer, to join us in , a common and concerted and -continuous xercise of intercession, to the end5 tliat jiumanity vevery-. where, i torn as iit.:4s by' dissension, and suffering many kinds " of ill 'effects- of the world-war, may r' ' turn to the patient Father inHeaven for new mo- V tives and guidance And succor.' ; . .

As says the Apostle: "I exhort, therefore, first -'of 'all; that supplications, prayers, intercessions, thanksgivings, be made for all men; t lor kings and all that are in high place; that we may lead a tranquil.' and quiet life in all godliness and gravity.".- ; Kor can we "forget our stricken President, for whom we would also tenderly pray.
