o. Savs Mr. Mag RQbinotf Noted Impressdrio

q went in there to demand every thing that I wanted and before left I had given Rabinoff everything that he wanted"
 Every artist In the big organization regards MT. Rabinoff as personal friend and many of them seek his ad- vice on everything from the kind of medicine to take for a cold to invest ing their savings. His employees are all devoted to him and the atmos- phere about him and his company is the kind you expect to find in a happy family home.
 But this gentle-spoken, genial, easy going man has capacity for hard work which would kill most managers. It is said of Mir. Rabinon that he works the whole 24 hours in the day when on the road with his company.
 "It isn't easy to secure the conh- dence of the public" MT. Rabinoff said. seriously, "and the only way I have accomplished it is by not exagger- ating my offerings. The funny part of 1t all is that when I attempted to organize the Boston National Grand Opera company and make it a travel ing organization. everybody said: Ra- binoff is crazy!
 And so it happens that Mir. Rabinofr has the laugh on them all today.

connection with the regulation of mois- ture and ventilation. They adjust their incubators until they will turn out the ma ximum number of chicks. careful study of the conditions affecting the proper matching of the eggs receives their constant attention. Without per- feet eggs. in perfect condition, It is use less to begin matching. To hatch strong, healthy chicks the eggs must be selected for size, shape and condition of the shell. These features affect their matching qualities to a, marked degree, A thorough method of gathering and storing the eggs before incubating is another feature which must be guarded if best results are to be obtained.
 Importance of Strong Fertility
 Fertility is the greatest factor in se- lecting eggs for matching and the suc- cessful growth of the baby chick. It is owing to this factor that. the baby chick industry has grown into favor. because Lit is absolutely necessary to have eggs of high fertility and strong germinat- ing power to make the baby chick de- partment a paying proposition.

q can answer that simply by saying that have always loved music" said MT. Rabinoff My father was a pro- Russia, and I was born in a musical en- vironment. I received technical musi- cal education, something which I think every impressario ought to have"
 DO you know I select every artist my self who is included in my company Mr. Rabinoff continued. During the past few years I have heard some mar vicious voices among young American singers; there is no lack of musical tal- ent in the United States. All that is needed is the opportunity to have 1t ex- plotted. There is only one way to learn to sing grand opera and that is to sing it. The young artist must have exper- fence to develop into a competent ana finished artist. There is no operatic school, no other way for the aspiring prima donna or tenor to make progress in grand opera, except by experience. That is why our young singers have had to go to Europe to get a start. We have been unable to provide them with oppor- tunities because of our dearth of opera companies"
 "What is the greatest essential in the making of a successful opera sing er?' I asked.
 MT. Rabinoff answered.:
 "The aspirant must have voice, be- cause no matter how great other quail ties may be. the opera singer has to have a good voice to get by. Person ality is also important in the artist and dramatic ability is one of the prime essentials. To secure an en- gagement the artist must have some reportory and be suited to the roles | chosen-for example it is useless for | a 250-pound soprano to try and sing Nedda or Musetta, as so many want to-

the tunnels. At -Hamel these underground works yielded thousands of prisoners.
 In one of the Beanmont- t-Hamel dug outs the English found 14 Germans dead. Just how they had died no one knew. It may have been concussion or asphyxiation. There was little time for speculation Their identity discs were taken off to be sent ultimately to Ber- lin, and then the dugout was filled in and sealed up--ai ready-made vault for the men who had depended upon it's shelter.
 There is a well defined opinion in the British army that dugouts on the German plan are not conducive to the best moral of the men. In fact many prisoners taken have frankly said that after two or three weeks or months in the comfort of~a dugout they had nc stomach for going back into the trenches. They were only too glad to get under cover at the first sign of a bombardment and there so many oi them were trapped and surrendered
 The British do not go in very much for the dugout idea. There are dugouts for advanced headquarters. but the men and officers generally stick to the life of the trenches.

And yet the impressario has quite enough to do in attending to his com pany and managing his artists with out trying to develop new talent. Al most every day I must spend hours with my artists, listening to their troubles, comforting them fixing things up for them and pacifying them in their moments of temporary aberra- tion"
 What is the least essential in the making of successful opera singer?' I asked.
 "The artistic temperament" an- swered MT. Rabinoff. Tt is the curse of grand opera management It breaks out in a brain storm always just at the wrong time, and then the impress sario is appealed to-
 And what is your recipe for treat ing fits of artistic temperament? l asked.
 T make it rule to listen to every thing that an angry singer has to say, patiently and sympatheticly, and then I try and cheer them up and make light of the alleged trouble" MT. Ra- binoff said "The angrier they get the more I smile, and in the end I ustfally get what I want and make them forget that they ever had any troubles"
 That smile of MT. Rabinoff is famous in the grand opera world. It is the greatest asset of the impressario ant he makes full use of it. I recall ons occasion when a celebrated tenor, wht has a reputation for possessing a mos exotic temperament, stormed into th' offices of the Boston Opera cofnpan, to "have it out" with the impressario
 The tenor was ushered into the inner sanctum where MT. Rabinoff greeted him with the most cordial of smiles They remained in session for almost ar hour and then the singer made his exit. Oh leaving he said:

The oldest of all the American breeds of poultry is the Plymouth Rock. Its great popularity has caused it to be bred in variety of colors, beginning with the original barred variety, and followed by the white. buff. partridge, silver pen ciled, Columbian and golden barred.
 The white Plymouth Rock was bred from Sports and ,albinos from the barred. The buffs were originated in the early sos, and for a time were the most popular. They were the result of crosses between the white Plymouth Rock, Buff Cochin, Buff sLeghorns and Rhode Island Reds. In their early history they varied greatly, but the fanciers finally succeeded in breeding them to an even golden-buff

 America has produced but two impress sari in this generation, Max Rabinoff and Oscar Hammerstein, and personally each is the antithesis of the other They have one thing in common, however, both are passionately fond of music
 Speaking with MT. Rabnoff few days ago about grand opera and the appear ance of the Boston National Grand Opera company here, he said: q am firmly convinced since our trans continental tour of last season that the American people are ready for real opera; not the cheap make-believe opera, as is usually given by travelling companies, but the kind that the Metropolitan gives in New York, Covent Garden gives in Lon- don, the Paris opera, and the opera in
 Milan. I can quote instances which sub- stantiate my belief. Last year when we visited Dallas, Tex, we gave perform ance of Butterfly, and there were 5000 people in the audience; people came from
 ranches and farms for hundTeds of miles around, and I never saw a more apprecia- tive and interested audience T am proud to say that we did not in our tour last year." MT. Rabinoff ob- served. task financial help from any clubs or groups of financiers, but we travelled

The Outlook for Grand Opera Is Most Inspirinq" So

@ NCE upon a time not So very long ll ago, every man who owned a NU silk hat and a fur-lined overcoat
 could make people think he was an 'impressario," but that delectable day has passed, as our public has grown amazingly wise concerning musical mat ters, thanks to the schools and universi- ties all over the country, which have been doing a great work in providing musical education during the past 10 years.
 Wherever you so Zen tour now, no matter how small the town, you7will find hundreds of cultured music lovers fa- miliar with all the great artists in con- cert and opera, and able to distinguish the spurious artist from the real one, consequently the old transforming grand opera companies composed of worn-out singers, tenors with cracked voices, and obese soprani, have been starred out of the business.
 Mr. Max Rabinoff knows all this and he has taken advantage of the situation. With the influx of talent from the other side caused by the war as well as the line Helu 10 cAoose rom III AHerlcd He has had the opportunity to draw about him a company of wondrous talent and marvellous ability, to produce grand opera as exquisitely as it can be produced anywhere in the world

An Application of the Great Principle of Specializa- tion-Boon to Amateurs and Small Growers Who Want Benefit of High Grade Equipment
By M. l.. CHAPLAIN Judge breeder and writer


 Commercial .baby chick matching is not q modern industry, in the strict sense Of the term, though in recent years it has become very popular, and one of the foremost branches of poultry culture. Commercial hatcherie were in vogue long before the Christian era. Historians tell us the Egyptians made it business to hatch and supply day-old chicks to farm CTS, who often travelled long distances for them. Baby chick, hatcheries were also very active in China centuries ago The methods of these ancients,. however, were of considerable difference. It was the practice in Egypt to place eggs for matching on the floor of a cave-like building. and supply the heat from an adjoining room. Tn China the eggs were placed in large baskets or jars, carefully covered, and then set aside to receive the action of the heat of the sun.
 A few years ago, shortly after the per- lection of mammoth incubators heated by hot water, with capacities up to 2o.ooo eggs for single machine, commercial baby chick hatcheries were started in this \ country. These mammoth incubators made it possible to hatch chicks eco nomically, and poultrymen were quick to take advantage of them. Today there are farms with incubators having a ca- pacity of over 100000 eggs.
 The baby chick hatchery has now be- come a standard department in the poul- try industry and farms which are mak- ing regulations for thelr output are put ting their best efforts into this branch of the business. The foundation of the baby chick hatchery must have been made many years ago. Special attention to breeding stock is essential to suc- cess. It's caye ap4 management is vital from the standpoint of profits, because the better~the condition of the flocks, so in proportion will be the output of strong, healthy chicks.
 Chicken Producers Are Specialists
 Besides being a specialist in incubat- ing, the successful baby chick producer must fbe a practical poultryman with thorough knowledge of all other branches of the industry. These specialists in incubating have spent years in the hatch ing department They have made a study of the climate conditions affecting the proper working of their incubators in

ing properties And it is upon the qual- ity of their breeding stock that the reputation of the farm rests. Buyers of baby chicks have learned to look for this quality.
 To conserve the health of the flock it must be kept under sanitary con ditions. in houses so constructed that not only the health of the bird is maintained. but the maximum egg yield is produced. The feed must be stimulating. highly nutritious and of such quality that the strength and health of the fowl are maintained dur ing the season of producing eggs for matching. Thus it will be seen the producer of baby chicks must ,be a poultryman possessed of an intimate

 are hardly and of rugged growth, devel- oping rapidly to broiler size. When nearly full grown they make excellent roasting fowls and their, rich yellow skin and legs and full plump breasts appeal strong | ly to the American housewife.
