Miss Gilberg has sung on several
occasions in Kansas City. and recently
when she appeared before grand
lodge Of the Scottish rite in that city.
her singing attracted the most favor
able attention and brought forth COM
ment from the leading citizens of that
city. Such people as Judge U. S.
Guyer, Mrs. z. Mason and others have
taken a deep interest in Miss Gi'berg
while in Kansas City aid through
these friends she received several Of
fers and secured a responsible position
with one of the leading firms.
The progress made by Miss Gilberg
proves the claim made by Mrs.
Adams, her teacher. when she said,
''It is not necessary for anyone to go
abroad to study. Miss Gilberg's work
has been directed along the lines OF
the highest standards"
And how do think the standard Of
music may be raised? When the stand
ard Of singing and playing is raised,
then, and not until then, will the stand
ard of music be raised.
1T is m established fact that
classical music is enjoyed by everyone
when It is sung by one with pleasing
voice, who sings correctly and with the
soul of the master. The fault is not
with tine unschooled ear, or the masses,
but with the singers. The voice with
the abominable tremolo due to forcing
or lack of support: The voice worn
and broken from wrong singing: The
voice that is always off the key: The
baratone who presumes to sing tenor:
The singer who resorts to cOntortiOnS
of the body to effect a climax: The
singer who tightens and forces so that
he is obliged to take quitting powders
for his throat: The quartette COM
posed of voices that never blend or
harmonic and could not get past a
critic on the first point raised: The
playing OF the church organist who
plays the same voluntary many
Sundays in succession because she has
had but one organ lesson: The pianist
who plays with no soul are the things
that have rrejudiced the masses
against classical music because they
do not know that it is the rendition Of
the music and not the composition that
mas dfspleased them. So it is the per-
former who needs to be educated. and
not the masses. Narrow, self-centered,
fakes and grafters, are responsible to
great degree for existing conditions
So that now genuine artists only can
ever raise the standard Of music
Miss Gilterg's program is composed
OF italian, German, French and English
songs, which she sings remarkably
we'll considering the time she has
studied. She has a rich and musical
voice which is properly placed, and her
numbers are correctly interpreted. She
is an exceptionally talented and worthy
girl. hard and intelligent worker
And. barring accidents, see no reason
why she cannot make the operatic and
concert stage if she Is given the neces-
sary support and assistance."-Adv.

She is a pupil Of Mrs. Nellie Quinton
Adams. Mrs. Adams has had thirteen
years Of study under the best teachers
and is thoroughly schooled in the old
Italian method. She holds teachers
certificate from John O'Neil, Nordica's
teacher, to whom Nordica gave the
credit of making her voice all that it
was. O'Neil was a pupil of Manuel
Garcia. the greatest of old Italian mas
tiers. Madam Marchesi was also a pupil
of Garcia's, and every pupil Of Garcia
and his pupils pupils, have his tech
nique, which can only be gotten in this
way, as it is not in print. So those who
study with Mrs. Adams get this same
technique and training that has made
the worlds greatest singers. And her
pupils have that assurance as the fact
10 established through the line of the
worlds greatest teachers.
Mrs. Adams says: "Our old italian
masters taught their pupils to sing
naturally, but because they were Ital-
ians their manner of teaching is
called 1.-The old Italian method" Gar
cha, Lamperti, Marchesi, and all of
the old masters gave their pupils
nothing but technique for months,
that the tones might be properly
placed, the breath controlled, the
registers evened, and for a certain
amount of development and execu-
tion. Many things can only be ac-
quired through technique. So those
who attempt to sing songs before the
proper technique is mastered meet
with failure.
Miss Gilberg began her musical
training when but a little girl eight
years old. Her work for several years
was confined to the piano then when
her voice was completely developed
began vocal training under Mrs.
Adams.
Miss Rose has a strong rich con-
tralto voice. AS tiny tot, Miss Gill
berg displayed remarkable musical in
clination. Her father has taken deep
interest in the development Of the
daughter with the aim always in view
Of giving her the opportunity to fol-
low her natural tendencies.
Miss Gilberg has appeared but once
before a Topeka audience, that being
last fall at the protest" meeting
against the war, held in the Auditor
ium. Just as the young singer ap-
peared a thunder storm broke and
despite the elements her audience was
most favorably impressed.
AS for girl Of her standing it has
been difficult for her to get to the
front. AS the chick breaks through
the shell SO has it been with this
Topeka girl: only with full develop
ment. and unusual abilities has it been
possible to break through the barrier
of skepticism obscurity and social
concrete circles.

The Seed Bed.

A well prepared seed bed is of nearly
as much importance as is the seed. 1t
may be easy or difii cult for the young
plants to get food from the soil. de-
pending on whether the seed bed has
been well or poorly prepared. To gath
er moisture and food through the roots
it is necessary that the roots be in ac-
tual contact with the soil particles.
Therefore it is obvious that the seed
bed should be fine and compact. such
as would be made on fall plowed land
by disking in the spring and harrow
ing at least once before and once aft

wet and heavy seed bed does not afford
the h%ospitable condition which insures

growth. The best of seed may make a
perfect stand when own upon such a
seed bed under favorable conditions

with seed of the best quality 1t is al
ways wise to prepare the seed bed well.

British Invent Submarine Check.

London, Aug. 6.-According to a ia
nous British scientist. an E~nglishman
has Just made a discovery which will
revolutionize submarine warfare.
The inventor, 1t is said, is one of the
members OF the committee appointed
by the Royal society to deliberate on
scientific problems arising from the
war.
The invention is an apparatus where
by a submarine can locate another sub
merged submarine within a radius Of
twenty miles and keep in touch with
it while within the radius.
If the device Is successful. then
henceforth British submarines will be
able to run down and fight German
undersea craft.
The scientist gave the story as an in
stance of what scientific men are able
T. do when attention is concentrated
or war problems, predicting that with
IN a few months, as the result of Lord
Fishers appointment as chairman of
the naval inventions board, which Will
include the cream Of British scientists.
new discoveries will be made which
will astonish the world.
This body is intended not merely to
investigate inventions submitted from
without, but will devote the greater
part of its time to seeing what con-
structive thought on its part science is
able to produce.

PASTURE FOR COLTS.
Alfalfa an Excellent Green Feed For
Developing Young Horses.

There probably Is no better pasture
than alfalfa for developing young
horses. Horses do not bloat as do cat
tie. says the Kansas Farmer. They
have small stomachs and consequently
cannot consume such large quantities
Of alfalfa in grazing as can cattle. On
many Of the farms In Kansas where
considerable attention Is given to the
growing Of draft horses alfalfa pasture
is used almost the year around. 1t
seems to supply the bone and muscle
making material absolutely essential
in properly developing the draft horse.
Horses at hard work cannot be 81
satisfactorily grazed on alfalfa. as 1t
is too laxative. The hard working horse
must Of necessity have a considerable
portion Of his feed in a more concen-
trated form. On many farms, how
ever, ever the work horses are permit
ted to run on alfalfa at night. This
practice effects some saving in the
grain ration. but the best results will
not follow IL the alfalfa is made to
substitute for any considerable portion
of the gain ordinarily fed to horses
performing hard work.
The alfalfa farm is especially fitted
for properly developing draft colts. IL
Is about the only kind of pasture that
supplies IN abundance Of feed during
the hot part of the summer. Colts
that have the run Of alfalfa will con-
tinue to grow and develop all summe
long. Colts run on prairie pasture
very frequently suffer for feed during
the hot portion of the summer.
