HOUSEHOLD DECORATION.

In the decorating and furnishing OF
a house there are great many things
to be considered, the most important
being cleanliness, simplicity, beauty
and usefulness. A house can be none
of these without the first and the sec
ond, simplicity, most generally in
cludes beauty and usefulness.
The first thing to decide upon is
the color scheme of the house, re-
membering that north and dark rooms
require light, warm colors. such as
pink, yellow, yellow-greens. leav-
ing the blues and cold colors for
sunny rooms. Green is the most rest
full color, while red Is the reverse,
and should never be used in large
quantities. The darker and stronger
colors should be used in the rugs and
lower furnishings, gradually shading
to the lightest on the upper walls and
ceiling.
In the floor and wall coverings and
draperies, when not plain, the con-
ventionalized flower design should al
ways be used. The natural form soon
wearies the eye and is not In good
taste Large figured wall paper Is
distracting and should not be used in
ordinary rooms. And furniture.
whether it be mission. colonial or
modern should be plain and useful.
The movement OF educated and ar
tistic people at present Is from the
elaborate machine made things Of
today to the palmer and more beauti-
full hand wrought decorations and fur
niture Of the past. Even all this Is
not good. One must be discriminat-
ing. and in that lies individuality. A
house must conform to the owners
taste, yet always governed by the
laws OF beauty and fitness.

THE BEST BREED OF
HOGS FOR COLORADO

What is the best breed of hogs for
Colorado? Is asked at every Farmers
institute held by the Colorado Argi-
cultural college. We always answer.
the breed you like the best. A good
individual, well bred and from a pro-
life strain of any popular breed of
hogs will make money for the Colo
RADIO farmer If handled right.
There are four breeds that have
been found to be particularly adapt
ed to Colorado conditions-Poland-
China, Berkshire, Duroc-Jersey and
Tamworth.
The PolandChina is a nearly per-
feet machine for converting feed into
pork. 1t is an easy keeper, a quick
fattener and when handled properly
is ready for the market whenever the
price is right at any time after it is
five months old.
The chief objection to the Poland
China is that many strains are not
prolific, the sows having only one to
four pigs at litter. This has been
largely caused by over-feeding with
corn in the corn belt.
Where the sows have been properly
fed on nitrogenous feeds and prolific
ones only kept for breeding the Po-
land-China is as prolific as any breed.

of the singers emotions. Every singer

of the singers emotions. Every singer
tries to convey this impression. But
the majority merely initiate natural
expression, and no Imitation ever
rings true. The true artist reproduces
natural expression. Between imitation
and reproduction lies the chasm that
separates the mediocre vocalist from
the artist who has the power to move
the multitude.
The one sure way, then, to produce
the natural tone is TO reproduce the
mood of which it is the natural express
sion. And this is something that con-
Germs not only song Interpretation, de-
pending upon the poetic or psychic at
mosphere of the song-poem, but also
the very fundamental principle of tone
production.
Most students Of the voice in this
day and age agree that nature, under
unobstructed conditions, will perform
the physical act of tone production
automatically; that is, that the singer
need not take conscious thought of the
breath action, position of the tongue,
etc, etc. But all teachers and most
students realize that the task, which
often requires years of effort, is to
secure that condition of Elasticity
which will permit of such automatic
action. This is true, in my opinion,
because we go at the matter of tone
production from the wrong starting
point; we begin on externals instead
of at the heart of things; we work
from the outside in instead Of from the
inside outward. And so We become con-
scious of the diaphragm and the ton
que and jaw and a lot of other phys
ical organisms, which should act sub
consciously, with the result that the
very thing which we are seeking-i. e.,
a spontaneous, natural tone-be-
comes impossible Of reproduction.

The following is just from the pen
of John Dennis Wrehan, New York
City. one of the editors vocal teachers,
and contains so much common sense
concerning voice use and at the same
time a deep and true philosophy, that
it will be of general interest More OF
a practical nature next week.
Self Analysis.
It is the duty of every one to study
his own voice, If only for the purposes
of polite speech. Especially is it SO
when he harbors the intention of some
time offering his vocal utterance to
the long suffering public. One ought
to know his own voice when he hears
it, but it is pretty certain that in a
majority of cases If he really heard 1t
he wouldn't know it-frequently he
wouldn't want to!
Much time that is spent in studying
so-called methods" might better be
devoted to the consideration of the
individual voice.
way?" we should ask ourselves. Il
wonder if there is mortal upon earth
who, after hearing me once, would like
to hear me again." "Is my voice actu-
ally the instrument of my soul, and If
50, why does my longing soul inspire
such inappropriate and insufferable
sounds?" "Why cannot I find a way
of uttering pleasant thoughts in a
pleasing manner?" why, in the name
OF Orpheus, do not give as much at
tention to my everyday speaking voice
as an ordinary dog fancier does to the
development of bull pup?"
Such self-searching should place one
in a humble attitude of interpretive
study. We must learn to hear our
own voices. This takes time, but may
eventually be accomplished. Cultivate
true ideals of tone by studying ac-
knowledged' artists and filling the
mind with beautiful aspirations. Then
turn the search-light inward and de-
mand of yourself beautiful, express
sive tone. .....
Vocal tone is the expression of a
mood. When you hear father or
mother, or anyone whom you know
we'll, talking earnestly in the next
room you do not have to understand
their words to know what mood they
are in. You recognize at once the tone
of anger, OF sorrow, OF pain, of merri-
ment. To hear the words would only
give you corroborative detail.
This is very signif1cant-the fact
that when people are controlled by an
emotional mood their vocal utterances
unfailingly convey to others the par
ticular mood that dominates them,
even when the spoken words are un-
Ineligible. In that fact lies the great
primal secret of voice use in singing.
For what is singing but the vocal ex-
preston of emotional moods?
The singing that really touches us is
singing that seems natural-that ap-
pears to be the spontaneous expression
