Correct ideals of singing, I ques- toned" Just what does that mean?'
 "I am afraid I could not define it in sentence; a volume more likely would be necessary. But practically this is the idea. It is a great pity to be sure, that there is no absolute standard for the voice, as there is for the piano. Every teacher you go to will tell you differ ent thing; everyone of them will suggest a different method; but correct singing well, it is what Caruso does; it is what Madame Schumann-H -Heink does. The throat has nothing to do with it; the vocal chords couldn't make the beautiful tones if it were left entirely to them but it is the front placement of the tones; pray don't misunderstood me, for this is what teachers call head tones; the upper regis ter But what mean is the front of the face; about the nose that the beautiful tones are made.''
 Does light opera appeal to you more than grand opera or have you only done the for1ner?" asked.
 T have sung in grand opera and prefer it to anything else'' Mir. Stevens said. 'T sang in the first grand opera ever writ ten by an American or an American theme. It was called The Patriot, by Stange and Edwards. It was only a short operetta, you might say, but the theme told story of tragedy. It was used in vaudeville, but it was heavy. Vaudeville doesn't like grand opera; it wants some thing light and frothy and airy. As for grand opera in English, it has been tried and found wanting It has had a terrible bump: 1t is completely done for in my opinion. DeKovens s operas come nearer grand opera than anything else. Robin Hood and Rob Roy have survived the test they are the best American operas ever written by an American composer"
 T recall the story I suggested, that is said to have been told at the time the 'Cavalleria Rusticana' came into vogue, when professional humorist heard, or said he heard. young man ask, "Is that by DeKoven?'' to which another replied: No; not yet In measure that shows how DeKoven is regarded by his public"

From the Washington Star
 Rutledge Rutherford of the Friends of Peace said in stormy argument in New York: { We pacifists are as misjudged by you militarists as the poor dead sailor. f;
 "A poor dead sailor was about to be buried at sea, but all the lead weights kept on the ship for these sea burials had been used up, and so big Jumps of coal were substituted.
 ''The usual service was held over the dead sailor, and then the corpse, sewed up in canvas and with three or four hundred pounds of coal hanging in a dozen big Jumps from the shroud. was shot into the sea.
 ''As the corpse disappeared a sailor friend addressed it, sadly:
 Well, Joe, he said, T always know you were going there. but I'll be durned if I thought they'd make you carry your own coal.'"
