USE THE SPEAKING VOICE.
strident Tones Commonly in Use Tend :o Make Woman Ap-
 rear UYrInar

''rf the rising generation of American girls is not taught to use the speakinr voice properly we shall develop into n race of unconscious. unintentionai shrews," says Miss Fay Templetoa, well known and popular prima donna If some rich woman wished to bring upon her head the blessings of posterity she should endow a chair of voice develop ment which would not necessarily include singing lessons
 Listen to the penetrating feminine voices all around us. shrilling, almost shrieking. in head tones. And am sure that not one of those women realizes that her remarks are being heard all over the room. If she did she would talk less of personal matters. Ride on the elevated trains or on open surface cars, and your head will ache more from the piercing voices of the women around you than from the combined din of train and street Have you ever had telephone ring in your ear because the woman at the other end of the wire was using head tones in talking7 It is frightful.
 ''The true root of the evil Is that the American woman either cannot or will not use her speaking voice properly Hun dreds of dollars to cultivate singing voice, but not one cent nor a Jot of her time to improve her speaking voice. Mas BdBe anu tSSSOuS III puySlCdl CuttuTe to develop a plump throat, but not five min utes day to enlarge her chest And yet a gentle voice Is woman's most effective weapon.
 ''If woman will stand squarely before her glass, with her shoulders back, her head high. while she slowly inflates and empties her lungs, she will secure excel lent chest development. Then let her give the sound of doube o (oo) as the lungs are emptied. but in rich. low tones, which she feels come straight from the chest, or, as one woman expressed to me. from the pit of her stomach and she will have taken the first step in developing a pleas ing speaking voice.
 Next, let her take the same position and count up to ten as slowly as possible while emitting one long breath, steadily increasing her chest expansion. Then let her practice her new speaking tone on her family, seeing how deep she can place her voice and yet be heard distinctly by members of the home circle. When on trains or walking on the street let her aim to strike a voice tone below the din, and not above 1t, so low. in fact, that 1t rings like a second or alto part in singing. She can then be heard as distinctly as If she tried to shout above the roar of street trafic. and her voice will lose that pene- trating. shill quality which Is the hall mark of the i'll bred woman"

tremendously increasing commodity tom mage which finds it's natural outlet by way of the gulf ports.
 This naturally brings increasing activity in all lines of trade and c resultant at traction of capital. An Idea of the extent to which the railroads are developing the resources of the South is given in the re- port of the industrial departments of the railroads mentioned. During the year the Southern located TBS industrial plants along its lines, and had 1As under con- struction. There are now under constrac- ton along that road twenty.nine cotton mills, which will operate 11,S37 looms, showing clearly that the time is not Gar distant when the South will not only raise and pick the cotton but will xnans ufacture it into the finished proaHGf. <
 Letters published in the October issua of The Southern Farm Mgzine show that a total of 75.000 Northern farmers have settled during the last ten years between New Orleans and Corpus Christi. This Northern industrial army has brought under scientific cultivation e,O00.000 acres of Southern farm land, large portion oe which was for years fallow. Fully eo0.o0 acres of this tract is devoted to rice eul. ture, for which a large area of the South has recently been discovered to be poou- liarly adapted. One letter states that 1000 homeseelSers visited the rioe-growing districts of Louisian in one week and thak 1.2O0 farmers settled during the year on lands along one railway system. east of the Mississippi and south of the Poto- mac River. Tn a single year also ono old field was transformed into nourtsninq settlement of 400 people. The phencmenal change which has taken place IS also re- dected in the earnings of Southern yail- roads, the Illinois Central. for example, being $lo,526 per miie as compared with between s7,OO0 and S. 900 for large Western

explosion, would be sufficient to lift the entire British navy to the top of Ben Nevis. Professor Curie has shown that pound of radium produces heat enough to melt a pound of ice every hour. The heat necessary to melt a pound of ice would. raise four-fifths of a pound of water from the freezing point to the boil ing point. It would not take many pounds of radium to keep house warm in the coldest weather. But it must be remembered that with all the efforts to obtain this interesting substance during the past four or five years there is proba- bly not more than two or three pounds in existence today. and that 1t has cost at least LOO, 900 pound to separate it from its ore. It Is one of the rare metals, found only In very small quantities in the one mineral pitchblend Until some more abundant source is discovered and some more economical method devised of sepa- rating 1t from the ore, and some means Invented of storing the energy or iiberat- ing 1t more rapidly when desired, 1t is not worth while to consider it's practical ap- plication as source of energy. And even If 1t could be obtained cheaply and in large quantities, 1t would be a very dangerous substance to handle, far more dangerous than any of the modern ex- ploslves, but for a different reason.
 DisagreeabIe ulcer-like burns requiring months to heal have been produced by carrying small vial of radium in the vest pocket for few hours. Professor Curie has said that he would not dare to remain in a room with a pound of pure radium, for 1t would certainly destroy the sight. burn the skin, destroy the tissues and sooner or later produce death But used In small quantities and with proper precautions 1t may prove to be very useful germicide. Seeds Of plants exposed to the rays will not terminate. Many of the different kinds of pacilli are destroyed by exposure to the rays. It is claimed that cancers and tuberc ulosis both of the skin and the lungs have been cured and the blind made to see by the ues of the rays. It is believed that it vii. prove to be much more powerful as a remedial agent than x-rays. and much more easily applied. But 1t Is still too early to know whether the reported cures are permanent or to predict the extent of Its usefulness as a remedial agent in the hands of a skillful physician.

A Preparation Discov cred That Will
 Destroy the DandruE Germ.

For some time 1t has been known that dandruff is caused by germ that digs up the scalp into little white flakes. and by sapping the vitality of the hair at the root, causes falling hair, and, of course. finally badness. For years there have been all kinds of hair stimnlants and scalp tonics on the market, but there has been no permanent cure for dandruh un- til the discovery of a preparation called Newbro's Herpicide, which destroys the dandruff germ. Destroy the cause. the effect will cease to exist. Kill the dan drum germ and youll have no dandruH no itching scalp, no falling hair.

self-Friends Blame the Hospital.

The friends Of Charles Bruning, a bar
tender, who was ground to death by an
elevated railroad train at Fifty-ninth
street and Third avenue yesterday, said
last night that they were going to demand
an investigation as to why he was
allowed to leave Bellevue Hospital, when,
as they say, he was in such state that it
was unsafe to allow him outside that in
stitution
According to Bruring's friends he went
to his home, at 743 East 14Sth street, on the
night Of Aug. 30, L'eedIng from the ears,
and told his wife that he had been sand
hagged. lie soon complained of very
severe pains in his head and said that it
was hard to think"
Last Thursday he stabbed himself with
en- icepick. The wound he made was not
OF much account, but he was taken to Belle
vue, a prisoner. on the charge Of attempted
suicide. His friends went to the hospital
and tried TO convince the doctors that
the blow which he had received on the
head had affected his brain, and they asked
the doctors to make an X-ray examination
1t does not appear that this was done.
They said also that it would be unsafe
for him to be taken away from the hospital
The hospital authorities notified the
ing that he was well enough TO appear
in court. Policeman Brady, who had
arrested Rruning Thursday, took him to

Merely Verbal-Was Forced Upon the
senators by the Administration.

WILMINGTON, Del, Sept. Interest
in the removal Of Miss Todd from the post
Office at Green wood, Sussex county, is
intensified by the statement by Senator
Ball that there was no signed agreement
betwee him and Senator Alice as to the
distribution Of Federal patronage in this
State That there was an agreement is
not denied, and it was to the effect that
Senator Ball was to have the appointments
for New Castle county and Senator Alice
those for Kent and Sussex.
Senator Alice said that this agreement
was made In writing and signed by both
contracting parties; Senator Ball SAYS
that there was no signed agreement. Re-
plying 70 Senator AIlee's assertion that
tlere was a signed agreement Senator
Ball said to-day

ministration forced us to come to an agree
ment about the Federal appoint ments.
We had a verbal understanding that the
recommendations Of Senator Alice as to
the filing Of Federal vacancies in Kent
and SlISaex counties should he accepted
by the Administration and that my recon-
meudation for filing the same kind Of va
canceS in New Castle county should be
given the same treatment, but there wa,
never n written agreement signed by me.
