SMALLER SUNDAY PAPERS.

The federal trade commission recommends cutting
down the size of Sunday newspapers important
step in the conservation of the supply of print
biggest Sunday editions, asking them limit their
size for the sake the smaller papers
The nadequacy of the supply has forced the price
Of white paper up point that threatens ruin
Of large numbers of newspapers all the country.
The trade commission explains that the elimination
would enough material needed for the printing of
small dailes and that action along this line
by the big publishers would thus prevent many small
publishers from going of business. And incident
ally course the big publishers themselves would
save money. The trade commission is probably right
its Judgment that "the elimination of certain
would meet with public approval and would not
decrease the revenues Of the publishers"
1t may be that this very scarcity of paper will thus
prove be blessing in Disguise Everybody recog-
nzes that Sunday papers in the few years have
grown such unwiedy proportions the biggest of
them a burden alike to the publishers and the
public a detriment the development OF
the journalism. Most publishers have made their
papers large because they wanted to- but because
they felt driven it by competition The result is
unwieldy of reading and printed matter which
reader pillow through and which by very
quantity precludes the possibility of high quality If
publishers driven by economic necessity
the their Sunday sheets shall probably have
a general increase in artictic and literary merit

An barks when you don't want it

An carries dirt from off the street.
An tracks the carpets with its feet.
But it's "a sign he's CROWN up
When he is longin' for a pup.
Most every night ne comes 20 me

But we must get rid of the i'm
preston. which the praise Of the
new method Of voice measurement
is likely 10 convey, that the resOna-
ting cavities of the mead have any
thing to do with the production of
either voice or speech. Their name
alone shows the nature of their ser
vice to us-they are like sounding
boards. or like the vibrating belly
Of a violin. They magnify project.
and modify the quality Of the
sounds. but the real organ Of voice
is the larynx. with its delicate ad-
Unstable vocal chords. which may
be likened TO the strings of the
violin. while the source Of the sound
is in the lungs. whose action, to-
gether with that of the muscles as
ISOLATED with them. resembles the
work of the bow gliding over the
strings and setting them into vibra-
ton.
And the thought of the violin and
the marvellous effects which are
produced by slight differences not
only i'm the form but in the quality
of the material of which its sound
ing box is made shows that too
much reliance should not be placed
upon simple measurements. Il is
not merely the internal shape Of
our mouths and noses that affects
the power and quality Of our voices,
hut the condition OF their surfaces.
Everybody knows the effects of
colds. coughts. hoarseneSs and
catarrh upon the voice. Chronic
troubles of this kind may, and do.
ruin many a naturally fine singing
or speaking voice.
But we NAV go farther than that.

there are Qualities OF texture af-

Measurements
Can Reveal Hidden
Talents of Vocalist
BY Garrett p. Seryiss.

Somebody has been measuring
the human voice with a tapeline"
So, at least. / read The method en-
ployed is 20 ascertain the size and
form Of the resOnating, or re-
sounding, cavities that occupy the
lower part of the skull, and that
impart to the voice many of its
most important qualities.
Besides measurements on skulls
in museums. 10000 living persons
have been subjected 10 this scien-
tific probe, including many famous
singers, and il is claimed that some
remarkable discoveries of unde-
veloped voices OF great power and
excellence, possessed by persons
who had never suspected their en-
dowment, have thus been made. In
such cases. il would appear, the
owners Of the unused resonating
cavities had remained ignorant Of
natures gift simply because they
had never tried their voices except
in ordinary conversation.
1t is averred that the measure
ment method will detect the pecu-
liar qualities Of voice in advance
of any efforts TO train il, and will
afford scientific guidance in the pro-
cess of training. II will show in ad-
vance what the posi- Utilities of a
voice are. and in what direction il
will best reward the efforts of the
trainer.
This is a subject of far greater
Importance than most persons are
likely TO suppose. The voice is the
basis OF intellectual intercourse.
Many animals have voices. but man
alone has voice which naturally
leads itself to the production of
speech, i. e.. of articulate sound
through which the mind expresses
ideas. a parrot can be taught to
produce articulate sounds. but in
this case they are not expressive Of
independent ideas. The parrot cam
not combine sounds to make new
sentences conveying other mean
ings. -

that would impose or the country an additional burden in transportation cos of
100000 600 a year, the railroads propose that this wage problem be settled by
reference to an impartial Federal tribunal.

have n O differences that could not be considered fairly and decided Justly by such
public body
Railroads Urge Public Inquiry and Arbitration
