The CoIorntura soprano Voice.
OMAHA. Dec. 15-To the Editor Of The
Bee.-As the dictionaries and encyclo-
pedias seem a bit chary I'm defining this
voice and few understand what is meant
by Il. a description. a little graphic TO
be sure. may make II clearer.
Il applies more specifically TO the
soprano voice in its ability TO initiate
the quality, timbre, color, tint OF char

ticularly to the wind instruments OF the
orchestra.
The tone Of the saxophone is said to be
made up OF those overtones OF hsrmonics
or upper partials that give It a sound
more closely allied to the human voice
than any other musical instrument.
In the case Of the female soprano
voice. in the higher registers. the flute
Is the instrument par excellence TO which
she would 20 color her tones as TO Inn

ment and belonging to the same order
as that OF the voice or the wind instru-
ments.
AS the different primary colors OF the
rainbow, when mixed. make different
shades, or as we say other colors, SO also
in tones when the different harmonics
or overtones are mixed in certain pro-
portions we get characteristic musical
tones and hence the characteristic must

The soprano who can sing as the trained
artist or prima donna does in these arias
and trills In a higher class of musical
art, by SO coloring her voice as to do II
artisticaly. is said to have a coloratura

When the San Carlos opera company,
under the auspices OF the Shriners, were
here recently a good demonstration of
this was given.
In the opera of Lucia, in the mad
scene In act three. with all its difficult
arias and trills the prima donna, Ed.

False Ideas About Women


A Census study.
In the current number Of the Woman's Home Com
panon Miss Ida ~. Tarbell. the most distinguished
Of women writer's. undertakes to Snow the fasity OF
certain ideas the woman question which spread
throughout the country by platform speakers. Her
statements are based a study Of the last national
census, far that ponderous document relates TO
marriage, divorce motherhood and wage-worlSing
Concerning the charge that less than half the $780,
900 women OF the country marry" Miss Tarbell says:
''If consider the a whole, regardless OF
age, this Is true. We have IN the United States nov
Hs39SS9 females including all from and under
to 100 and F1fty-two and seventenths per
cent Of these-babes maids and women-are single
that is literally less than half OF the married
But drop out those yet OF mariageable age. and
you have different story. There will. OF course. be
difference OF opinion about what Is marriageaDie
age; but let call II 10 II settle on that

over 100000 Of the puts different COM
plexion at the marriage percentage. As
fact 70 per cent of those who Is years moro old
marry; and n you raise the age TO 20 500 per cent
marry; to Is. Ss7 per cent marry
But grant these figures TO be correct-it is hard
for orator. TO defy a census-and still the
platform cries that women don't marry they onos
did, The truth is they marry more freely than they
did In 1900 In 1890 There has been gain of nearly
per cent in the number of marriages of women

necessary for the child of mother who

TRUCK AIDS ROAD WORK.
Town of Aledo. Ill, Introduce:
UNIQUE Method in Dragging.

In the town of .Aledo. Ill, a new and
economical method of dragging roads has
been discovered.
The good roads work during the spring
has been largely due to the use OF a
motor truck hauling a drag to scrape the
roads.
Already a large portion of the roads
around Aiedo has been put into excel
lent condition by means of this drag.
The work has been done at an average
rate of speed of about nine miles an hour
and the cost of putting the roads into
shape has been greatly reduced over the
previous cost of doing the dragging by
the use of horses.
