PANAMA EXPOSITION

100000 Californian
Citizens

Washington, Oct. 2l.--Two pretty girl'
from California, who took SO long adjust
ling their hats and powdering their noses
that they kept Pres. Wilson waiting II
minutes, presented him yesterday ban
of gold from which, they said, he could
have his wedding ring fashioned.
THAT'S a very good idea" they quoted
the president as responding.
| They also had bunch of orange bios
SONS from California which they had
first intended presenting to the president
but which they had left at their hotel.
"We think" one of them told the pres
ident, that we shall present them to
Mrs. Gait"
IAN excellent idea" they quoted the
president as saying.
The girls--each Is years old--were ac-
|companied to the White House by Mrs.
Gaillard Stoney, their chaperone, and
little Miss Altha McCuen, II years old,
who won the trip as prize for an essay
she wrote on why the president should
visit the Panama Pacific exposition.
Arrangements had been made for the
party to see the president at 10 o'clock
Not until l0:l5 did they appear. In the
meantime the president, who had long
list of engagements over at the main
White House, stayed in his offices await
ing them.
"W'hy were you later" a man asked
Miss Dorothy Starr.

her companion, "it was this hat, for one
thing"
Miss McCuen, whose part il was to re-
cite some of the grave reasons why the
president should 60 to California, whis-
pered number of arguments and the
president shook hands with her, but Miss
Bull just couldn't help breaking in with
Cant you and Mrs. Gait come to Cali
fornia on your wedding trip"
The president smiled but added $50 /

History teaches us that a proud ma

will be compelled az the first favora-

seriously of the day when Germany

day we can unite with the allies and
secure a peace that may recognize the

Causes of the Much

The young singer often thinks II

greater mistake. Nothing is so
trying on the nerves of the audience
than to be compelled to sit and listen
to one who uses the tremolo,
The voice teacher is often asked
what causes the tremolo. There are
several causes and from various reas-
ons
d. A. Clippenger in his article in
. the "Etudo" calls the tremolo an af-
Fiction, which is very good name,
very wen suited. Il Is most generally
believed by voice teachers that ninety
nine out of every hundred who have
the trcmolo is caused by defective
breath control and weakness of the
diaphramatie muscles. Clippenger
also states that Il Is sometimes caused
by a weakness Of the muscles con-
trolling the soft palate, in which case
its vibrations interrupt the sound
waves and the result Is the tremolo.
Some slight exercises, training the
soft palate to remain where It be-
longs, viii usually dispose of such
