INTRODUCING MIR. FORREST DABNEY CARR

MF course, it may be only fancy VE Of mine but I think the true art
 ist must abhor the ascrption oi Temperament" keeping within the sanc- tuary of his soul the ideal that is the handspring of his creation.<
 The true artist temperament is, in real ity, the perception and appreciation of beauty, whether in pigment, form, tone words, nature or in the loftier region of moral restitude; it may be highly relig- ious; on the other hand it may be gayly pagan, which is only a preface" to my telling you that after I had talked with Mir. Forrest Dabney Carr, the renowned 'Basso Cantanto," who has recently come to this city to make his future home, a very clever gentleman evidently perceiving that I was undoubtedly going to speak of MT. Carr's temperament" when began to write story about him. mildly observed that the word was not to be foSnd in the dictionary.
 How use a word" thought l. which isn't in the dictionary about such celeb rity as Mir Carr?9
 And then methought further
 ''Whether temperament is in the dic- tionary or not, it is in the makeup of every really truly great artist whether he likes to admit it or not, and MT. Carr is no exception to- the rule"
 Simple and unpretentious in his manner, famous throughout the country for his beautiful singing method, large of body and big of brain, Mir. Carr, former Metro politan opera star, and the latest acqusi- ticn to Birminghams musical and social circles, is a man of exceeding charm of manner, with an almost child-lke eager ness and freshness of outlook; sensitive, observing, withal really delightful from , every angle.
 At no time in Brmingham's history would the advent of such a man MT Carr be more propitious; it is what we call in common parlance' the "psy biological moment for an after-the war movement to revive music. to promote it, to live up to standard musically is nee essary to any community which has for its object culture and refinement, and Birmingham is not laggard in this respect
 I do not retract the statement that made concerning MT. Carr that he has Temperament" and coupled with this is personality or, are the two synonymous?
 Personality and magnetism Mir. Carr possesses to a marked degree; those two qualities-attributes what you will-that are usually given for a singers success, taking for granted, of course, that he has the required muscanship and other intel leotual requisites necessary in order to be- come a professional singer. No matter how excellent voice is; no matter how superior the training, the measure of singers success is regu- lated largely by temperament, personality and magnetism. These three nouns, l nearly synonymous-you see, I've gone a step further and added magnetism" to the list-are the definitions usually given by critic and audience as accompanying | success. It is nice to be writing once more about ]

The Use of Tile

 whether they are glazed or unglazed. A hard-burned tile is so dense that no mlcropes or lfchens can grow or multiply on it's surface, but for strictly sanitary. rooms such as operating rooms in hos pltals, bathrooms, etc, the walls are usually veneered with glazed tile. This presents positive aseptic surface which can be easily cleaned. For bathrooms the white wall tile has heen broadly adopted, but lately a desire for warmer and more comfortable treatment of the pri- vate bath has become manifest The glaring white cold bathroom does not appeal to a more refined taste, and in it's place, green, brown and yellowish com
 binations of color have been used for floors and walls with very good artistic success. The color does not interfere with the aseptic properties or the ease of cleaning. It is of great importance that tile are set securely on the wall. so that no hollow spaces occur between the tile and wall, and it should be Of greatest importance that all joints are well filled with strong cement mortar. It may be said in this connection that an ample joint is really more aseptic than a very close joint, as an ample joint can be more securely grouted than too close joint as the grouting in too tight a joint will sometimes bridge over an empty space and afterward fall off; allowing an open joint where dust and microbes can accumulate. If this joint should connect with the hollow space back of the tile the danger is obvious, especially as such spaces cannot be cleaned.

 'The Dead King"
 My Boy Jack
 And B others. This is the first book of Mir. Kiplings poems published since The Five Natons, which appeared more than 15 years ago.
 ''The Dead King is a tribute to the memory of King Edward which has been widely heralded. particularly by the French critics, as Illustrating a success full innovation in verse form.
 France" was written on the occasion of the visit of the French President to England the year before the war. It is a record of the ancient generous strife between Britain and France and the new friendship. The striking thing about this poem is that it's forecast is as true as it's survey of the past. The refer ence to "The undying sin We shared in Rouen market place. refers, of course, to the burning of Joan of Arc.
 "The Song of the Lathes" is a tribute to the thousands of women. many of them of German descent, who worked in the intuition factories during the war The difference between the hate of men and of women is brought out in the verse which starts, Mans hate passes. etc"

By H. C. Bailey. F. r. Dutton x CO. publishers, New York city.
 The war is overland it is good to turn back to the days of Queen Anne. The Hiehwayman" is a rattlpg tale of plots and cotinterplots of royalties and treach- cries. of Marlborough and James the Pre- tender, of highwaymen who were more than mere highwavmen, of young man with a '.stand-anS-deliver stare, who was no highwaymln at all. It is also love story that boasts a good deal of ln- cident And it is full of the manners, the standards. the taste and language of another day than ours,
 Harry Boyce is poor young tutor, clever lad enough. Alison Lambourne IS the spoiled daughter of a self-willed mill l:oraire. and a low-born beauty, herseif a-&eauty and self-willed. Neither is very lovable at the books beginning, and their romance is a picture of infatuation solely presented with no more delicacy than one would expect from the days of Queen Anne. /T The trying and proving of both of rhem the awakening of real love and the growth of lasting devotion, make the story one of developed as well as of i<- cident.

THE EARTH TURNS sprrTu,

THE EARTH TURNS SOUTH" By Clement Wood, author of "Glad ot
 Earth. E. P. Dutton X Co.,, publishers New York city.
 A second book of poems by the author
 of Glad Of Earth" is entitled "The Earth Turns South"
 MT. Wood has already been recognized
 as inevitably one of the leaders of the younger school of American singers, ano this new volume will go far to establish him in this position. | Loverof beauty and fiercely fond of this
 blossoming earth of ours as he~is, Mr | Wood has in addition the rare faculty | of knowing and interpreting the true soul of the southern negro in it's wilder
 and more primitive aspects. | Two of the most eQphonious poems con tained in "rhe Earth Turns South" are
 "HarvestY and Birthday" which are reproduced below: HARVEST ! Out of the blood washed trenches, | Leaving their bodies there, The souls, of the dead young soldiers Floats up the friendless air. i They do not seek the masters Who herded them, to this fate, With hearts all hot for vengeance 1 They are too dead to hate.
 But each one finds the maiden He trembled for in life She who was yet his sweetheart. She who was his young wife. And she feels on her hungry bosom The ghost of dead caress, As the soul of her lover scatters Into gray nothingness. BIRTHDAY. Today that earliest miracle Comes to my memory again Of thirty years ago, when first l breathed, in the old way of men. Out of woman's agony, Out of a loving-and a pain l budded forth, to take my fill Of the earth's excellent domain. There was time l was not I, But alien things. that clung and blent Now have grown, and trod the dust. And l am weary and content.

 Is achieved and every church in city is
 thus given an impetus to do good. Besides my work as leader of the choral choir at the South Highlands Presbyterian church. AIr Carr said .I am greatly interested in the Music Study club the leadership of which organization I have assumed. Somebody asked me what meant to do with the club and answered rather enig1hatically I am. go- ing to do something that hasn't been done -before'-which covers a wide territory naturally Birmingham is large enough and prosperous enough to support good musical clubs and the talk of a revival of the old Arion Club comes as good news in connection with other musical activities The Arion .fub as a church choral society would be a distinct ac- quisition-the music study club bringing the great artist to Birmingham and the Arion club working for, an appreciation of the same-together bound in one com mon cause.
 
 MT Carr's musical experiences have covered a very wide field-table- among his successes, being his appearance as "Hiawatha" in an elaborate production of the beautiful Longfellow poem with the New Y ork Symphony orchestra under MT Walter Damrosch. MT. Carr has also appeared with great success in Dr. Wal ford Daves's setting of "Everyman" his Shakesperean plays-and under the di- rection of MT Clarence Dickinson-only two performances having ever been given of this masterpiece-the one in Leeds, England, and the other in Evans ton, Illinois.
 MT. Carrs additional success in Evans ton, appearing with the Evanston Musical club, in which he sang Elgar's King Olaf was so> pronounced that he was at once engaged to sing Elgars master work 'Caractacus'' which created a sen- sation at the St. Louis Expostioni win ming honors for the club and securing cieties of the world.
 That MT. Carr is receiving a most cor dial and flattering welcome from the musical world of Birmingham goes with out saying and while I am not prophet in any sense of the word, I dare to pre- dict that his career in Birmingham will be marked byNa most pronounced success.

"NoMADs OF THE NORTH,

i By James Oliver Curwood. Illustrated l by Charles Livingston Bull. Doubleday,
 Page & Co., publishers, Garden City, New
 York.
 Tied to each other with a leather thong, l strong pup and a block bear cub, the 1 two got to knew each other very well. 1 They had to. About these two most hu- morous creatures James Oliver Curwood
 has woven his latest romance-his best, we believe.
 | A Hudson Bay company man, the own
 CT of Brims tone, the pup, captured the little furry bear cub and for safe keep l ing tied him to the leash of the dog. A ] furious fight ensued. but respect for each l other followed. Separated from the man,
 the two, still tied together, had to fend | and find for themselves When the ac- I tual cord was finally broken the tie or l comradeship remained The story of the adventures of the two | as they grew to dog and bear shows a wonderful insight into the mysteries of wild animal life. The dog is amazed al the habits of the bear and the bear Is astonished at the unaccountahle notions of the dog.
 James Oliver Curwood writes of the great out-of-doors as he knows it - it's humor, it's pathos, it's mysteries and it's tragedies He has lived the lives of his human characters, and knows animal life from personal observation and careful study.
 Birthstone (well named) will delight you, with his d,og-pup antics; quizzical Neewa the bear cub, always an impenetraole mystery to the pup, will cause you many a chuckle.
 The people in the book are just as con- vincing as the animal characters. though some of them do not show so much O. the true human qualities. This is a novel of the wild with lot
 of keen naturalist lore in it. The love
 story is not the least interesting thing
 in it.

'' Kipins has said that this comparison was suggested to him by the Kaiser s message in the Boxer rising when he charged his troops to remember Attila and make their name terrible among the Chinese.
 'The City of Brass" depicting the state to which socialism reduces a na- ton, has this line, "Out of the sea came sign, out of heaven a terror" which was regarded with derision when the poem appeared seven years ago. One paper ran a comic illustration of the sea full of submarines and the air full of airplanes, which was regarded as a very effective bit of grotesque humor
 Altogether these poems strikngly strengthen the conclusions of Katharine Fullerton Gerould in her article in The Atlantic entitled, ''The Remarkable Rightness of Rudyard Kipling," where she points out his prophetic quality. After all the prophetic can only be tested by the passage of time and only within the past decade had enough time elapsed to test KiplingS prophecies.
