Speaking Tones

Speaking Tones
The full free chest-tones should be
cultivated IN speaking and the throat and
head-nOtes avoided. The voice IN speak

melodious as the voice IN singing

bering to open the mouth and utter
sounds clearly. Words are not TO be
slurred over, syllables are 10 be euun-
ciated carefully; vowels should have
their broad, full tones and consonants
should not be dropped.
Slovenly habits in speaking are IN
closing the mouth and speaking between
the teeth. These bad habits, including
the hard, nasal tones. may be cured by
the simple and persistent practice, many
times a day, OF opening the mouth wide
and uttering the syllable ali from the
chest No one can speak we'll who has
not the power 10 utter this sound freely
from the chest. Musical critics mean
this when they mention the pure and

Exaggerated terms are TOO frequently
used and are not in good taste, such as
GJrfally nice. d0UfRIiy pretty. beastIy
SUedfheT, perfectly splendid. etc.
Recently when reading a new and very
popular novel, I noticed a succession Of
errors In good form in the talk between
two OF the leading characters. In nearly
every sentence the name was introduced
of the person addressed. Whether the
talk was light or casual, serious or emo
tlonal, there was a running accompani-
ment OF, Mr.. So-and-So," or, Miss So
and-So-" In the first chapter the name
OF the man TO whom she was speaking
came fourteen times from the lips of the
fair heroine; In another CHAPTER the
name was repeated twenty times This
error on the part of the author was as
tOnishing and ludicrous In rs continual
repetition.

The anti-amendment people are hush. Ing an active campaign of organization Into every county in Alabama. Some of the veteran workers In politics say that the organization against the amendment is, for two months in ad- vance of the election. the most com. plete in Alabama in recent years
 Leon McCord. Secretary of the Safe and Sane League, said yesterday that daily reports were coming into his of- flee from every section of Alabama. and that from the standpoint of the oppo. nents of the amendment these reports left nothing to be desired. Not only have reports from every county been sent in and communication establish ed in every county with the opponents of the measure. but In a few of the counties an actual canvass has been made and the views of more than Q majority of the voters have been SC. cured by personal contact. MT. Mo- Cords office force will be increased during the next week. and from now until election day on Nov. 29. a steady stream of mall will go to the voters of Alabama.
 The pro-amendment people, Mir Mo- Cord said, are now making the uphill fight as the amendment would be badly beaten if put to a vote now, and If the amendment carries. 1t will have to carry by votes won between now and election day. MT. McCord is of the opinion that the present majority against the amendment which he sees will largely increase as the fight grows warmer.
 The conference organization man. aged by Representative J. Lee Long. will begin active and earnest work on next Tuesday. A large part of this work will be speaking campaign. which, Mir. Long says. will be without parallel in the political history of the state. An exceptionally strong array of speakers have volunteered their services and the anti-amendment forces propose to carry the fight into every county and into every beat.
