OPERA TO BE
, PERFORMED IN
REDWOODPARK
Arcadian Surroundings for
Stage Settings, and Wild
Deer Will Participate
in Unque Drama
CALIFORNIA REDWOOD PARK,
Aug. 18 (by mail).—In the forest
primeval, beneath sempervirens tow
ering three hundred feet, which were
ancient forest monarchs even at the
time Noah’s Ark is recorded as hav
ing rested on Mount Ararat, 2348 B.C.,
Californians and visitors will gather
here September 6 to witness “The
Soul of Sequoia.” It is an Indian
opera, and its premiere here will
mark the first time in the history
of open-air drama that a complete In
dian opera has been produced in the
natural redwood forest.
Unique features in a setting of
grandeurs surround this effect of a
California composer, Thomas Vin
cent Cator of San Jose, and a Cali
fornia author, Don W. Richards, to
produce a history of the giant red
wood trees in song and drama. Their
efforts are supported by the Semper
virens club of California, which is
financing the production solely in the
interests of the California Redwood
park, a state park with free camp
sites, water, fireplaces and limb-wood
for Californians and visitors.
In the heart of the great Big Basin,
Santa Cruz county, a majestic am
phitheater, is an inner amphitheater
in which the production will be
staged.
Wild deer will be participants in
the drama. A. M. Weaver, assistant
state warden of the park, has trained
these timid animals. For more than
^ two years Warden Weaver has each
morning and evening called to the
wild deer, who have answered from
miles around and sped to his offer
/ ings of sugar, apples and barley.
Mammoth pillars of living redwood,
five thousand years and more of age,
form the encircling background to
the natural stage upon which this
d tarn a is to be produced. This nat
ural forest theater accommodates
more than five thousand people.
California Redwood Park, set apart
by the State in 1901 as a public park,
consists of ten thousand acres of
virgin forest. Tt is thirty-three miles
from San Jose, seventy miles from
San Francisco, twenty-six miles from
Santa Cruz and is reached by good
mountain roads.
PRACTICAL SCHEME OF
MEXICAN GENERAL FOR
' CAPTURE OF BANDITS
CHIHUAHUA CITY, Mex., Aug. 26
(by Associated Press).—General Ig
nacio Enriquez, graduate of an Amer
ican university and former governor
of Chihuahua, is organizing an aux
iliary force of cavalry similar to the
mounted police constabulary of Penn
sylvania and other American states.
He claims to have 750 men under
his command at present, and is re
cruiting 250 more to complete his
force of state troops. Many of these
men have had experience in the field
during the revolutions and all can
shoot, ride and rope well. They are
divided into commands according to
the districts in which they live, and
General Enriquez’s ambition is to
capture Villa and claim the reward
of 25,000 pesos offered by the state
of Chihuahua for Villa dead or alive.
He is also candidate for governor at
r' the next state election and hopes
to rid the state of banditry by that
time.

NW YORK, Aug. 25 (by Associated j
Press).—The election of William A.
Appleton as president of the Interna
tional Federation of Trade Unions
at the recent congress of that feder

For years, says the Alliance, Mr.

United States as head of a delega
tion representing the General Feder
ation of Trade Unions. Pointing out
that Mr. Appleton was nominated by
Samuel Gompers to head the Inter
national lavor omvement, the Alli
ance statement adds:
“Mr. Appleton always has been a
staunch friend of the American Fed
eration of Labor and an ardent ad
mirer of it policies and achieve
ments. More than any other Euro
pean leader of labor, he thinks in ac
cord with Samuel Gompers. During
the war Mr. Appleton was tireless in
his work for victory.”
COWBOYS ARE LEARNING
SCIENTIFIC METHODS
TUCSON, Ariz., Aug. 18 (Corres*
pondence of Associated Press).—The
cowboys are going to college now in
Arizona. Not that this means that
range cattle soon will be herded by
young men wearing gaudy-colored
caps adorned with class numerals, but
that several of the younger genera
tion of cattlemen have enrolled
in a university extension course
here whose object is to impart
the highest sort of scientific and
technical knowledge regarding han
ling of stock on the range.
The course began here August 4
with a week of lectures and class
room work and now the class is on
its way through the principal cattle
growing sections of this state.

POLICE SEEK FOR GHOST
Try to Solve Mystery of Weird Sounds
Which Come From Busy
Business Block.
Pottsville, Pa.—Pottsville has a gen
uine ghost sensation and the police de
partment is puzzled over the weird
sounds which come from the haunted
building. One of Pottsville’s principal
business houses is the home of the al
leged ghost, and the spectacle of po
licemen standing about, there, waiting
for an opportunity to arrest the al
leged unearthly specter, is a novel one.
The building is devoted to genera!
mercantile purposes and offices and
inhabited by hard-beaded business
men and lawyers. The police depart
ment has an idea mischievous boys
were the cause of tlie mysterious
wailings about the building and a
number of boys were examined with
out. shedding any light. Some police
men were of the opinion that a cat
might have become imprisoned in the
walls and be responsible, but the
sounds were too humanlike for such
origin. The patrol is to be continued
until the mystery is solved.

BLOUSE SLIPS OVER HEAD
Late Paris Arrival Has Round Neck
Opening and Fastens Along
One Shoulder.
Something very new and quite the
latest thing in I’aris is a blouse that
has a round neck opening and slips
over the head, fastening along one
shoulder. The sleeves are cut kimono
style, in one with the garment, and
reach midway between shoulder and
elbow. There is no tit to the blouse,
which hangs in straight, soft lines
from neck to hip, a knotted silk cord
or narrow sash holding in the material
at a low waistline. A most artistic
and picturesque blouse is “la casaque”
and ideally comfortable for lounging
about the house, but it rather lacks
the formality as an uway-from-liome
garment, although in Paris these
loose blouses, almost without sleeves,
are seen everywhere—in the street, at
the restaurants and on the tennis
courts. Sometimes the material is
soft silk crepe, sometimes cliiffou is
used, and outing blouses in la casaque
style are of thin, white tub silk or
satin, with hemstitching around.
CaPco an Aristocrat Now.
Calico Is nowr in the aristocrat class
of garment fabrics, being raised from
the plebeian ranks just as gingham
was two years ago. Fabric that would
have gone into work aprons for our
grandmothers is now to be combined
with white organdie for smart sum
mer dresses. English print is hard to
obtain this season.
Short-Sleeved Summer Gowns.
Youthful style dresses of gingham,
voile, organdie and calico have sleeves
ending just above the elbow, medium
In width and finished with turn-back
cuffs. These styles of course mean
long gloves.
