PAYNE TARIFF

CANADA WILL NOT IMPOSE Elk
PORT DUTIES - AMERICANS
WILL REALIZE DEPENDENCE
ON CANADA FOR MATERIAL.

Montreal, Sept. while there is a
resentment in Canada over the pro
visions of the Payne tariff affecting
the pulp industry, it is felt both in OF
tawa and Quebec that nothing can be
gained by imposing import duties,
The Federal government officially
announced it would take no retalia-
tory action and legislation will be
directed to a final settlement rather
than an aggrayation of difficulties.
As soon as the provincial premiers
have agreed upon mutual policy
they will inform the Federal govern
ment That this understanding viii
be in keeping with the policy of On
tario---the complete prohibition OF any
expectation of any manufactured
pulp wood from the crown lands-is
assured
1t is felt the situation will adjust IT
self as soon as the Americans come
to realize their dependence upon Can
ada for both pulp and pulp wood.

The Opportunities Of a Singer.

The Opportunities Of Singer.
She sings her way into the heart OF
the people. but she has the greatest
struggle of any woman for recogni-.
ton Of her ability. Many women
with exceptional ability are fast los
ing hope of eyer securing a place In
the singing world where real genius
is recognized. 1t seems singular that
this should be, yet this talent alone
creates great rivalry and it Is said
that in no place is 1t more notice
able than fashionable churches where
there Is a struggle for singers to hold
their places or even get a place.
This was told me by a woman who
has been heard hundreds of times on
the American stage, the opera, thea
ter and in churches, every place
where her sweet voice could be
heard. What do | think of the stage
for girls?' she said after my inquiry
In that direction. 81 only speak
for the singer and I can say she has
a difficult time. No one. can do for
her what she can do for herself. She
goes repeatedly to the managers for
u hearing and she must praise her
own talent recommendations for
the singer must be heard and not
real Under such trying conditions
q young aspirant Is liable to become
greatly frightened and do her worst.
Indeed there are women OF great
refinement on the stage. They have
lovely natures, but they simply must
be- thrown In with class who are
not particular of their conduct or
language, for which reason the gem
erai stage atmosphere Is anything
but refining or uplifting. They try
| 10 suppress the facts and managers
try to weed out characters undesir-
| able for the stage, but often it is
| necessary to the business to retain
| acme very coarse women in the en-
| ploy."
| Then would you discourage a wo-
man who aspired to a singing career
on the stage?'
II would not. 1t has its unpleas-
ant features, but it gives one an in
sight into the life, and possibilities
for better training can be obtained
only by being spurred on to ones
hast before the public. 1t is test OF
talent and charcter, but the very
best plunge ipto it."
