Tremolo Disease

The taste for tremolo is like the
taste for narcotics, the more you
yield to it the more it Graves The
singer who tremolos constantly finds
a passage of passion or ecstasy that
calls for a touch of tremolo naturally:
as his voice has always been trem-
bling, he must get the needed effect
by giving more sweep and speed TO
his previous tremoio. But that sets q
new standard of "sympathetic
warmth" as he would say, end SO he
adopts the more vigorous 'wobble." :"
So the degeneration goes on stage by
stage until he has lost all sense of
length, pitch or power.
The cat in "Alice in Wonderlandp
disappeared, but left her smile behind.
so, many voice long since disap-
peared aud left only q ''wobble' Are
we too hard on this vulgar habit?
Hear what the eminent DIR. Mckenzie
has to say about it. Tremolo is iniur-
ious as tending to beget a depraved
habit of singing. The voice like the
hands may tremble from emotion but
continual quavering is as disagreeable
as the tremulous fingers of the drunk

French childre2 are often on their
way to school at seven O'Clock in the
morning and if they study very hard
they may finish their lessons by nine
O'Clock in the evening. Young men
who are studying for the higher pro
fessions have appointments with
their tutors at five o'clock in the
morning and even then it is exceed
ingly difficult to accomplish the
mountain of work that lies before
them. Strenuous life in educational
matters IS carried to point which

fine roads though the fact is not gen.

run from Bombay to Delhi is 900 miles
long. One of even greater length is
that on the Afghanistan frontier from
Peshawur to Calcutta. These roads
were built before the days of the rail
road to serve as military highways.

Little Rose disliked the study of
geography and day after day passed
with her geography lesson unlearned
Finally her teacher sent note to
the chlld's mother requesting her to
see that the lesson was learned. The

and the teacher asked Rose if she
had delivered the note.
Yes ma'am,' was the reply.
And did your mother read the

Yes ma'am.'

A tariff is simple thing;

That men SO many words should

To something that is clear
If broadcast duties you impose,

To tax all articles save those

Far more than words can say,

The young man sneaked away.
Altho twas true he loved the maid
No Romeo could beat him,
He didn't love her quite enough
To let the bull dog eat him.
