CARUsO SINGS .LARGO.7

The immortal Largo" as sung by
Caruso on a Victor record is SO COM
plete a masterpiece of vocal interpre-
tation and so nearly a miracle of the
recording art that one cannot hear 1t
without mentioning 1t to others. 1t Is
given on this record in its original
form as an excerpt from an opera long
passed into oblivion-this one great
aria remaining as a glorious monu-
ment. The primitive scoring of Han
ders time is enriched by the addition
of a harp and by combinations of in
struments unknown in his day. HIS
harmonies, which then were left
largely to orchestral players arc as
he wrote them. First there is brief
recitative-steady, majestic. thrilling.
Then the melody of the Largo 10
heard-sung by bowed strings Of the
orchestra against the rhythmed sweep
of harp-cords.
Then. the mighty voice. low and re-
mote at first, gathers strength and
glory as it rises, growing in one mag
nificent crescendo until It seems the
throat may give forth. and the listen

GALLI-CURCI SINGS.

Galli-Curci has the gift Of doing the
most incredible things with the sim
pie delight of a child. AS you listen
to her Victor records you feel that
she surely must be mixing laughter
with her singing-and in this you are
correct. Les Files de CadiX (The
Maids Of Cadiz) as sung by CALI
Curci on new Victor record will
evoke from you laughter-the laugh
ter of delight.
The song commences to a tripping
Spanish rhythm accentuated by the
crackle of castanets. Three girls OF
Cadiz have been to the bull fights
with three brave Spanish lads. They
have had a good time generally-now
they are angling for compliments
with the skill of the experienced CO.
auette. The song begins with n
seguidillalike strain like brilliant
waltz, passing into little heart-break-
ing bits of 'chromatic" melody with
an occasional impassionfd high note
There are three or four seductive
sounding love passages. The song
closes with two or three trills and a
prolonged high note.
"Ch'ella mi creda" (That She May
Believe Mel from "The Girl of the

that will stand out even in this day

The aria, though brief, is one OF
Puccinrs finest, the crowning moment
perhaps, OF the entire opera. 1t be-
gins with a slow, stern melody, ther
suddenly swings into the highe,
reaches of the tenor voice. There Is

Good Teachers a Requisite.

The boy who would become chem
icaI expert has much to learn, observes
a writer In Boys Life. Thorough
technical education is a necessity
such an education as it would be prac-
tically impossible to obtain outside Of
a good technical school. The field Of
chemistry is so wide and complex that
no matter how much ability and in
dustry a student may have he cannot
get very far without the help of good
instructors and a proper equipment
for experiment An intelligent young
fellow working in an Industrial plant
may acquire by his own efforts lim-
tied knowledge of the particular field
Of his work. He will be competent 10
carry on the work so long as no new
problems arise; then, however, limited
by his narrow knowledge of the
science, he will be quite helpless.

French Villages Americanized.

Vitrimont, adopted" village or
group of California cities, is one of the
first of the hundreds of French deyas-

according to a report of the American
Red Cross. The ancient Gothic church
Of the town has been replaced by
modern stone structure which, while
In conformity with the best traditions
of French taste, nevertheless presents
in its broad caves a suggestion of Los
Angeles. Likewise, the reconstructed

lures which are reminiscent Of some
of the most classic outlines of San
Diego structures. Other buildings in
the town were said to be representa-
tive of the architecture of San Fran
cisco and various other California
cities

Valuable coconut sy.Produet.

A number of oil-extracting plants
have been established in the United
States and Europe to handle copra,
because 1t has been discovered that
the pulp left after the coconut Oil
has been extracted is very valuable
stock food and can also be used as
fertilizer, and this by-product COM
mands a good price.
As a stock food it compares favor
ably with gluten feed, though it con-
tains less carbohydrates and more
fat. ash and fibre. The oil is used for
many purposes, including cooking or
for salads, the making of fine soaps,
etc
There are at the present time In the
Philippines approximately 4O,OOO,OOO
bearing cOconut trees, producing
nearly 1,0OO,O0O,OO0 nuts per annum,
of which 9O0,0O0,O00 are made into
copra. A coconut palm will yield
from % to 80 nuts each year, and
they are taken from the tree, when
fully mature, about once every three
or four months. The nuts are collect
ed In piles near the drying or smok-
ing sheds and the outer shell or fibre
Is torn away from the hard shell OF
the nut by means of a tool similar to
the plowshare. The nut is then split
open with a large knife or bolo, and
the halves, with the meat exposed, are
placed over fires on racks constructed
of wood, and are allowed to remain
there until the meat drops from the
shell. Where sun drying is practiced,
the halved nuts are allowed to remain
subjected to the suns rays for pc
riod of about six days, or until the
meat loosens from the she'll.

PREY ON IGNORANT KOREANS
Mutangs, Claiming to Have Supernat
uraI Powers, Make Good Living
From Those They Victlmize.

The Korean mutang, or mudang, IS
a sOrceress who is considered the low
est of the low in the social system.
Though generally married, she is al
ways an abandoned character pretend
ing to be sort of spiritual medium,
able by her friendship with the spirits
to influence them as she may wish.
The ceremony performed by a mutang,
without which her services are of no
avail, is called a "kut," there being
ten different forms of services that
can be performed by means Of kut.
The service most in demand is that
of driving away the hungry" spirits
of disease. These spirits come around
the door when people are eating, and
II they are not thrown morsel of
food they will hold grievance against
the diners. When a man, by some
such mischance, contracts a disease,
he sends for a mutang, describes his
symptoms and asks what spirit 1t Is
that is causing it. The mutang usu-
ally names some spirit, says that he
must see the patient, and names a day
on which to hold the kut
During the ceremony the mutang
dances about near the patient I'M
til she has worked herself up to a
perfect frenzy, her auditors believ-
Ing that the spirit has taken posses
sion Of her body. She screams out
the name of the spirit that has come,
tells what must be done to cure the
patient, until at last the spirit prom
ises to take away the disease. The
food provided for the spirit is then
eaten with great gusto by the mutang
and the friends of the sick man.
The mutang has a lot of influence.
Some years ago when drought was
making life uncomfortable in Seoul
/ the citizens went to mutang and
clamored for relief. She explained
that the street car lines were pinch
ing the tail of the dragon that guard
ed the town, and that the dragon
was angry. He couldn't sleep and he
wouldn't send the needed rain. The
cars we're destroyed that very night

Four-year-oId John was visiting his
auntie. Now, he had not intended
staying so long and had not brought
an entire change Of clothing. So he
was much distressed about not being
clean.
The afternoon before his uncle was
to take him home auntie took him
to the first vaudeville show he had
ever visited. And the comments he
made were loud and amusing to the
members of the audience around him.
But nothing exactly startling was said
until a young woman in black tights
came on the stage to do some aero
batic stunts. Then his clear little
voice called out so that most of the
people there heard him. "Oh, auntie,
she has on a dirty union suit too"

robbery and fire and good schools are
maintained for the education of the
children. When a town is dead, there
is little money in circulation, store
buildings stand empty with "For Sale"
sign hanging on the front door, there
is little employment for the laborine
man, the streets are dark, the schools
are crippled.
What sort of town do you want to
live in? There is only one answer to
that question. You want to live in the
live town and enjoy all the good things
that come TO the residents of such o
community.
Answer Easily Found.
The only question then is as to how
these prosperous conditions can be
created or maintained and it is the
easiest thing in the world to find the
answer to that question.
If the people OF a community will
keep their money at home and keep it
in circulation among themselves, they
need have no fear of ever being com,
PEELED to live in q dead town. If the
people will patronize their own bust
ness men instead of sending their dol
lars to the mail order houses, the
prosperity of the community will take
care of itself.
The local stores, to a very large ex-
tent, make every town. The taxes
paid by the business men of the com
munity are the principal support OF
the schools and public institutions. II
is the taxes paid by the storekeepers,
to a large extent, that make possible
the public improvements, the fire pro
lection, the street lighting and the
many other things which make town
worth living in. The mail order house
does not pay any taxes in the town
from which it gets its money. 1t does
not help to support the schools OF
the churches. 1t does not help light
the streets or maintain the fire de-
partment. 1t is the aim of the mali
order houses to drive small town mSr-
chants out of business, so that the
people will be compelled to send "a
the cities for their merchandise and
they are spending thousands of dol
lars every month to accomplish this
purpose. If they should succeed, who
would pay the taxes that are now
paid by the local merchants? It's
certainty that the mail order house
would not pay them.
Issue Is Clear Cut.
Every dollar spent ut home helps
to make the town q live one.
Every dollar sent away from home
TO the mail order house helps to make
the town a dead one.
The issue is a ciear-cut one and Is
souarely up to every resident of the
community, whether resident Of the,
town itself or of the country surround1
ing it. The man who does not carr
whether he lives in a live or DEFY
town, if there is such a man, nef
waste no thought on the subject Y
the man who wants to live In
town cannot get away from 1t.

America are to be linked together by

spite the progress in wireless cleo

Germs and Microbes.

Germs and microbes are terms which
are applied to certain organisms too
small to be seen by the unaided eye.
Most of those which produce disease
are known as bacteria. These are one
celled plants. They are not insects or
even animals, being much lower in the
scale of life and much simpler in
structure than insects. Man always
has made use of certain germs, with
out. however, knowing just what he
was using, for instance, yeast used
in baking and other fermentation proc
esses.
