Head Of Musical Department Of Los
Angeles High School Has New
Method Of Harmony.

Los Angeles, Cas.-Los Angeles
eventually will be a paradise of per
feet linguistics II the plans of those
at the head OF the music department
of the public schools can carry out
their modern ideas of voice using.
The system lately introduced aims to
make conversation a continuous har-
mony delight and to free 1t from many
of the everyday defects of enuncia-
ton.
Children are to be taught TO form
words and sentences as they would
the phrases of song and to have a
mellifuous effect always in mind in
speaking.
Miss Katherine ID. Stone, head OF
the musical department of the public
schools here, has started on a tour
of all the principal cities in the coun-
try with the purpose of giving and
accepting suggestions as to the sue
cessful working out OF the new method
Of voice culture.
Each voice has a different dominant
note, that is, a note upon which all the
speaking sounds are based From this
note every meditation and infection
of the voice should be regulated.
Usually in an ordinary sentence, un.
less the emotion is violent, the domi-
nant note is used at the commence.
ment and different tones are afterward
employed through the different colors
of a sentence.
Grief. hatred and enmity all have
distinct and varied rules for correct
intoning. Grief and deep emotion are
expressed in the minor key entirely,
just as song OF sorrowful cast is
written In a minor strain. In the ex-
clamation. "oh, my" said sadly. the
whole aromatic scale is employed for
a complete octave.
| On the other hand. Joy and convic.
ton are shown by the major key and
an ejaculation such as "Hurrah!" will
In complicated order cover all but
one major octave fro ma low note to
high one.
In question the high note should
come at the point in the sentence
when the query is most pronounced;

TONES TO SUPPLANT WORDS

II a person asked the question to
single out certain individual, thus,
Where are you going?" the upper
tone would be upon the you"
Miss Truslow states that the Amer.
leans as rule speak with a closed
throat. which is not only very inhar.
monious, but is deadening to the voice
and causes a person of thirty to speak
like one of fifty.
The old Italian method OF singing
emphasized the Importance OF the
open throat. Other methods haya
come and gone, but this has survived
as the true method of bel canto."
All the words are formed on the lips
and as far to the front of the teeth az
possible. In this way a correct speak
er can often be understood by the
movement of his lips alone
Nasal. throaty and harsh voices are
all caused by the tone being produced
in either the nose, throat or chest A
child who Is shown how to place each
tone correctly will always do 80

The children are reported as taking
readily to the new order of things in
the schools and lectures have been
given on the subject before various
clubs in the city.

I'VE talked on awhile, me and Per

that I'm not perfectly happy with the

the limit for both of us--seven o'clock.
Neither of us ever stays out minute
after that time unless we are togeth-

Buck, says Perry. for I'm feeling just

RADluM KILLED MANY CATS

Seven Died After Treatment-ob-

London.-Sir William Ramsay, the
discoverer of the atmospheric gases
argon. neon, krypton and xenon and
the leading authority on the transmu'

of the effects of radium on life, fol-
lowing the experiment at Abort, near
Paris, Of Prof. Gabriel Petit, who says
he found that an old horse in whom
radium had been injected received n
new lease on life.
The experiment" said Sir William,
has been frequently tried both on
animals and on human beings, but
with no very positive results. | have
tried radium injections on cats and
the effect was that they became enact
ated after short time and eventual
ly died. 1t produces profound alter

"Of eight persons suffering from
cancer who received injections OF
radium, one recovered. but the others
did not, so that It is difficult to say
what we're the effects OF the radium.

kinds sometimes results are attained
and sometimes not. The skin I'M

persons may be of a stimulating ma

the use OF radium for injections
would be its excessive cost"

A corn COUNTRY.
Payette Valley Is Grain as Well 40
Fruit Country.

We clip the following item from the
Twin Falls Chronicle. 1t was publish
ed under a large headline on Noveni-
Der 21st; and while it undoubtedly
demonstrates that they can raise lit
tie corn near TWIN Falls according
to facts they are not in 1t with Pay
cite Valley when it comes to corn
growing:
Il A. Snyder, the potato baron, is
entitled to wear another band on his
sleeve as he has made another record.
This year his honors are from the
corn field and he admits raising corn
at the rate of 1851 bushels to the acre
Mr.. Snyder had only trifle overi
quarter of an acre planted in corn and
he was not striving for particularly
large yield, but when his crop was
| measured it produced little over 20
bushels, which figured out at the rate
| above stated. The variety was Cassia
| County Flint. A sample of this corn
is on display at the Twin Falls Com
mercial club"
All will agree that 1875 bushels of
corn is some corn per acre, but let us
| compare the above with a yield of corn
grown on an acre within the city linz
its of Payette.
iSaol opi iilS tllt MILLS Dteu HOUSE Ul
New York asked Bert Gilmore who by
the way is the potato baron of the
| Payette Valley, and it is no more than
fair to compare him with the potato,
baron of the Twin Falls country, to-
try sample of seed of their Golden
Jewel Yellow Dent corn, guarantee.
ing him that one trial of it would be,
sufficient for his satisfaction and that
he would never use any other.
He planted an acre of this seed corn.
| and gave it but the usual care, not be-
ing engaged in trying to make a rec
ord of any kind. This acre of corn
was gathered and husked out during
the latter part of the month of Novem-
Der and the acre netted Mr.. Gilmore
just one hundred forty and three sew.
enths bushels of corn.
| The corn is of an excellent variety
natures about three to four weeks
earlier than other corn and Mr.. Gill
more has saved all he raised for seed
and next year will plant nothing but
the Golden Jewel Yellow Dent.
| In addition to raising this corn Mr..
Gilmore on the same land also raised
six hundred pounds of beans for which
he received six cents per pound which
| surely makes the profit on this one
acre of ground equal anything in this
part of the state planted to crops of
the same kind
| According to the Twin Falls item
quarter of an acre of corn producing
20 bushels is at the rate of 1861 BUSH
els per acre but for the life of us we
can only figure 116 bushels for the
yield and compared with al and three
seventies bushels it looks mighty small
to say the least.-Payette Enterprise.
