CHANGED ATTITUDE
TOWARD CRITICS

Alice Nielsen, who is to sing at
Convention Hall April 10, has un-
usually small and shapely feet even
for SO petite prima donna, and it
was a reflection on those teet, that
made her change her attitude to-
ward all publications employing
critics and toward one newspaper III
particular.
Because the reflection was not
made sooner it is going to be hard
er for her biographer to dig out
facts about her early life, for it was
that incident that first got her into
the habit OF keeping clippings OF
articles published about her.
Il was 20 years old when it hap
pened,' said Miss Nielsen, "and had
been singing in public almost con-
tinuously since | was eight you
know. There had been much pub
lished about me, for had sung in a
score of light operas and in many
cities, yet / had never more than
casually read what the critics wrote,
never thought Of the critics as pos
sible factors in my future and 1t
never occurred to me to keep d
scrap-book OF press notices.
This is strange, too, for | admit
that | was 4 vain girl. Also | had a
doting mother who travelled with
me in those days, and why she did
not keep clippings about me is more
than ! can tell
81 was singing second parts and
understanding with the Bostonlans
that season. In Los Angeles a girl
substituted for me at performance
One OF the newspapers next morn
ing roasted me scathingly, but the
thing that hurt most was that the
article said had ugly big feet. II
was one of the penalties OF having
ones name on the printed program
and not singing, a thing that never
again happened to me during all OF
my years in light opera.
81 was furious. Stomping my
offended feet, | sought the critic
! but got no satisfaction. From that
day to this | have watched the
newspapers, have had notices abou'
me clipped and pasted into what
am told is one OF the largest col
lections OF press-books eXtant.'

Secure your farm labor now is
the injunction OF w. w. Brown,
director OF employment OF the Co

The farmer who has efficient and
contented farm hands sufficient for
his needs in a month or so will eth
er be entitled to call himself lucky
or farsighted," said Mr.. Brown.
Farmers can't get hands now un-
less they pay the wages, but later,
l predict, there is going to be 4
rush to the farms of unskilled work
crs who, while they may be needed
and prove extremely useful, may
prove to be also quite expensive
from the farmers standpoint

for the week ending March IS show
ed the following:
Calls for help: Single men 42;
married men 8; dairy hands 5.
| Farm laborers furnished: Single
men 50; married men /; dairy hands

| Applications for farm work: Sin

/ The wages paid for farm hands
in Kansas and Missouri are S55 and
$40 month" Mr. Brown continued
and farmers are not going to get
efficient help for less than that. if
