MATZENAUER SINGS.
Opera Contrnlto Displays some
Merits in Recital.

Margarete Ma;zenauer contralto OF
the Metropolitan Opera Company. gave
song recital yesterday afternoon In
Carnegie Hall. The programme was
unusual II included no arias, sacred or
pofane. and some songs not often heard.
Nine. Matzenauer was In her best
vocal condition and displayed much opu-
leWe Of tone which was frequently Of
very rich quality. especially In the mid
die range. When she forced her tones.
as she did In some of the songs outside
her normal scale, they became hard and
there was much trouble In the pitch. AZ
oil times she sang with hnc emotional
power.
The programme as whole had TO de-
pend upon soms encores given to break
the monotony Of It's mood. and further
more Nine. Matzenauer's art showed
that she has not learned all its secrets
In color and hnesse, fact which did
not tend to relieve the delivery Of the
somewhat sonbrc outline OF her printed
list
She did some - her best work in the
French and English songs, where beauty
OF voice and fine feeling often went hand
In hand. Debussy's La Chevelure" had

excellent.

She was heard by large audience ana

Her playing yesterday was OF an ex-

raise the question whether she Is NOT
already knocking at the gate Of the tenn
pie OF the elect. To describe the tech
meal features Of her performance would
he to enumerate the items OF the pian-
lsts art: but one thing must be espe-
oially mentioned, to wit, the untaii'hs
beauty and singing quality OF her tone.
Musically sensitive In the highest de-
gree the young woman draws from her
instrument a splendid and rich sorority
which is always agreeable and never
outragcs the nature Of the piano. fur.
thermore, she has a nne command oi
cclor and her treatment OF the meiodi'
phrase is invariably artistic.
She gave a notably beautiful perform
auce OF the Cesar Franck composition
but she rose to an even higher level IN
the Chopin sonata. Her reading OF the
last movement was open to discussion
but the scherzo was euperbly done and
the funeral march was delivered In
manner that conjured up memories OF
Hosmann and Paderewski.
Miss Novaes Is already an artist o'
brilliant ability and she promises tt

reasons that she has correct technica

COAL TAR IN ICE CREAM.
Food Director Says Only whole
some Dyes Are Permitted

Iucius L. Brown, d rector Of tho bu-
reau Of foods and drugs OF the Depart
m"ut of Health, told The Wicks investi-
eating committee IN the Merchants AS
~ucii;iou rooms yesterday that the de-
partmeut mahts a distinction between
wholesome and unwholcsome coal tar
dyes ig the manufacture OF ice cream.
II allows the use Of wholesome coal tar
dyes, A. IA as he was personally con-
cerncd. Mr.. Brown said. he would like
to see less coloring matter in all kinds
OF foods including candy.
The director explained thar the only
reason for coal :ar dyes In ice cream is
thnt the people want II.
"po you as an individual want it, he
WAS asked
"No. | will not use It IN my family"
he replied. II Try to avoid eating 1t as
much as possible"
Mr. Brown explained that the Use Of
yellow coal tar dye helps to conceal the
absence of butter fat IN ice cream,
The fact was disclosed that II ice
cream was manufactured from real
cream, butter fat, the cost would he
$50 II gallon and wouldn't be within
range Of tho average mans purse. lie
didn't think there would be any objec-
tion to the manufacture OF ice cream
from SKINNED milk--the usual COM
mercial way--if it Is eaten as confec-
tion and not as nutriment
The witness admitted that the COM
liberalization Of ice cream has been
such that he was unable to tell exactly
what ice cream Is nowadays. The old
fashioned kind that was made at home,
he explained, was made out OF pure
cream and other ingredients. He told
Of one French ice cream that contained
nothing but frozen custard There was
another ice cream which was made
some years ago that didn't have any
milk a, all in II. he said.
Mr. Brown said that in New York
city rotten eggs are being used to glaze
bread This method, he added. is hardly
susceptible OF detection.

bureau Of foods and markets, testified
that Grade g milk, which Is not supposed
TO go to consumers is sometimes sold

FOOD EMBARGO BILL
WILLBE INTRODUCED
Fitzgerald Of New York to
Offer Measure When Con-
gress COnvenes.
BITTER FIGHT EXPECTED
President Believed to Be OPP
posed to Proposal for Sew
eral Reasons.

wAsHiNGroN, Nov. 2:. - Legislative
Congress were ho.sted to-day by Repre-
sentative Fitzgerald. New York, who an
nounced that he would Introduce a meas
ure providing for an embargo on food
stuffs.
Legislators regard Il as foregone
conclusion that the discussion OF this
subject wtll throw the House and the
Senate In tumult of dlscussion and
That II will cause trouble for the Admin
istration, which has So far succeeded IN
keeping the question Of the rost OF liv-
ing in the background.
There are indications that for various
reasons the President will not favor an
embargo on foodstuffs. His only refer
ence to the subject was made In a
speech before the National Grange two
weeks ago. I'm this he suggested that
the United States should not be Mig
gardly IN sharing its crops with other
nations and proposed intensive cultiva-
ton as a means OF meeting the apparent
shortage In some Of the food crops
II IL expected that the farmers Of the
country will fight to the bitter end leg
islation designed to reduce the prices of
their products. Petitions are pouring in
upon the White House despite the activi-
ties Of the Department Of Justice in at
tempting TO run down food conspiracies.
II seems probable therefore that MEM
hers of Congress from the city districts
will be arrayed on one side and the
President, members from agricultural
districts and those who fear interna-
tional complications on the other. The
opponents OF the proposed legislation
even 80 30 far as to say that they will
demand an embargo upon munitions of
war II one Is placed upon foodstufrs
Two reasons chiefly impel me tc

I said Mr., FITZGERALD. 1T IL the most

Great Britain over her unwarranted
