calls for the fullest and easiest use of the machinery of sound production. Sing ing is not natural, it is an art and like all art 1t is an improvement on nature. Consequently the path to perfection is in natures lead. The Italian method of tone production for the singer is based incontrovertably upon the unconscious method of speech of the Italians. The Italians speak with the greatest freedom from strain of any kind-the least con traction and with the most perfect articu- lation--and anyone who pronounces Ital- ian correctly long enough. must in time do the same.
 statement Speak the Italian language correctly and you are very near to cor rect singing" Possibly he has already realized the answer conveyed in further statement in the same paragraph, 'I have seen splendid results produced by merely reading aloud in Italian, for this is the unconscious way to adjust natures music box" Certainly I agree with Mir. Guns ter that '"rhe native Italian is not born with the gift of correct singing any more than is an American but l cannot wholly agree with him that 'it is not the language that makes the singer for he cannot deny that the Italian the stu dent that is fluent in Italian is much nearer the Goal, by way of the Italian method. than the student who has had none of this preliminary training. One cannot pronounce Italian correctly for any length of tim without having an easier placement of the speaking voice, better breathing. stronger articulation. and a more pleasing quality of tone whether using English German, or any other language.
 Call it Italian method, or not, by only contention is that the fern of perfec- ton lies hidden in the Italian language in any other language and that the derstan Is this cannot avoid working singing teacher.
 In conclusion let me say that I most heartily concur with MT. Gunster in a desire to see something done 'to cuti- vate the beautiful English The English language like any language. must be singable, but how rarely does one hear it handled beautifully by singer or by speaker. Whether right or wrong in the eyes of others results produced under my own direction and observation war rant the contention that the study of the Italian language through apparently beating around the bush, will do a great deal to adjust errors of dicton and tone production in the use of any language. I express an-humble hope that I shall be able to do much to arouse genuine ap- preciation of our own wonderful lam guage, the tongue of the Bard of Avon. Very respectfully yours,

SOUTH ALAbAMA|S GREATLY IMPROVED Joseph Amazed At Changes Made In Last Few
 Years

M. V. Joseph, president of Loveman, Joseph & Loeb, returned yesterday from a trip to Selma. Marion and other points in south Alabama. He originally came from that section and was on visit to the places where he received his early mercantile training. MT Joseph said yes terday that it was almost impossible to realize what Selma, Marion and other places were doing in the way of improve ments.
 "I was very much pleased to see Selma with well paved streets, with beautiful homes and all of the merchants doing wel,'' said MT. Joseph. That city Is going to grow bigger every year. The people are awake to their opportunities and intend to take full advantaR of them.
 'I travelled through the country some and the crops are in fine shape. little rain would not hurt the corn in some localities but measured broadly every thing is in first-class condition. I was deeply interested fin noting that the farm CTS are improving their homes and are getting progressive in the way of living Their homes are all well repaired and painted. They have abundant flowers and everything that one could wish for.
 "In Marion the citizens have plenty of money and automobiles fit past with as- tonishing frequency. The farmers in that section are growing wealther every year and the time is coming when Alabama will be extremely rich in its rural sec tions. The rural section If fading away, however. The automobile, the telephone and the transmission lines of power com panies are bringing to the farmers those forces that eliminate time and distance and the whole section is being knitted together in way which will soon bring town and country into close contact All this is of interest to me- for I was lo- cated there when conditions were vastly different. I am deeply pleased, therefore, to see what has been done.'

From a perusal of the damage suits filed daily in the courts of Jefferson county it is learned that great ma jority of the suits are directed against service corporations or persons of means. It would appear that the means aforesaid are really more important than a cause of action. The grounds of action alleged in the complaints are many and various. covering all kinds of alleged sins of omission or commits sion. Many of them on the face are very meritorious and seemingly well found- ed but on the other hand some of them border on the frivolous, as this class
 of cases are taken "on spec as Sam
 Weller would say, for if there is no
 recovery from the defendant no fee is
 demanded.
 As has been stated, the cause of ac-
 tlon is not always as important as to
 whether a judgment could be collect
 ed in case of a recovery, hence it is that
 service ucorporations and persons of means are in nearly every instance the defendants in these cases.
 An instance of the frivolous 6perhaps mercenary would be the better word) damage suit was recently filed in one of the courts against a well known business man whose bank rating Is of the best. He was sought to be mulcted in damages to the amount of s2000 for alleged personal injuries. The following were the facts in the case:
 The business man and a travelling salesman had a dispute about the can celia ton of an order. The two got very angry and the lie was passed. The salesman picked up large sized ink stand and hurled 1t with all his might
 at the business man who quickly
 tucked, the missile passing over him. Just at that moment negro employe was passing and received the missile full in the stomach. The salesman fled and left town probably never to re-
