The Wise Physician

had a lot OF pimples upon
my princely mug, and | took
YARDS and simples and bitters
by the jug. My blood was out
of order, my life was full OF
care. and | was near the border
of bottomless despair. And
many learned physicians pre-
scribed their capsules gray
alas. alas, conditions grew
punker every day. And then |
sought a healer who just had
come to town. and many a
boosting spieler proclaimed his
wide renown. No silly, trifling
question was by this doctor
sprung, concerning my diges-
ton, my liver or my lung. He
said, YOU'RE always fussing
with links, who lives next door;
YOU two are roundly cussing
each other. evermore. Unless
you live serenely your ills | can
not cure; so long you've acted
meanly it's made your blood i'm
pure. For giving way to pas
sion gives rise to many ills. and
y ou, in angry fashion, keep kick
ing DER the thrills. Go home
and quit expounding the riot act
to Jinks, and health and peace
abounding will soon remove
your kinks" His counsel, wise
ly given, | took, and saved my
life, and from my head were
driven all thoughts OF hate and
strife; and now glad smiles and
dimples are strung around my
map, where once unseemly pim-
pies were prone to overlap.

AMUSEM ENTS
Rosa Ponselle.

Rosa Penselle, the brilliant young
prima donna of the Metropolitan
Opera Company, gave a recital yes
which in it's program included vivid
ly dramatic arias, dainty little songs,
songs of pretty sentiment and as a
closing number the brilliant Bolero
from Nerdi's "Eespri Siciliani." Miss
Ponsella was born in Connecticut, and
educated in this country. She has a
beautiful voice of remarkably wide
range. and abundant temperament. Her
program was rich in the gems of
grand opera, numbers unhackneyed
and rare in concert.
Miss Ponselle had sung but a few
bars of the seldom heard aria, Pace,
pace. mio DID," from La Forza del
Destino," when her hearers were con-
vlnced that hers was a phenomenal
voice and temperament, and at the
finish she was rewarded with the ap-
plause she deserved. In this, as in
many numbers that followed her
tones are those of a rich contralto,
and her highest are pure soprano,
rich in quality, free in emission, clear
and true. Her coloratura shows the
llmpid scale. graceful appoggiatura,
crisp. clean staccato and the exqui-
artist. Her Interpretation and rendi-
ton of the aria from La Giaconda, i"
Sucidio! in questi fieri momenti,"
was that of the mature emotional act
ress, her voice depicting every phase
of grief. anger and joy, and it seemed
unlimited In power and color. When
she had finished this aria, as also in
Tosti's 'Good-Bye," which she sang
as an encore. the tears streamed down
her own cheeks and the audience was
perceptibly affected.
MISS PonseIle, for SO young an artist.
has acquired an almost complete con-
troll of breath and tone, so that in the
intensity of the most dramatic aria.
she is amply adequate with never a
bad tone or lack of breath to mar
phrase. She has the dignity and
polse OF the great artist. and the
modesty and ingenious charm of a
novice.
The young artist was generous with
encores. The first TostTs Good
Bye" one of the treats of the after
noon. was sung with tender pathos
ana lmpaSsioned despair, with no sue
gestion of the hysterical. making it
seem almost new song, This was
Wisp." charming in it's delicacy.
After the ''Giaconda" aria she gave
another double encore, Leonie's "TaI
ly-ho' and Siberta's THE Message "
and at the close of the program the
famous aria "Vissi darte, yissi d
almore." a fitting close to her marvel
Gus, program. Her diction, in Italian.
French and English is beautiful.
William Tyroler. pianist. former as
slstant conductor of the MetropoIitan
was the accompanist and gave ampir
support without making the piano
too prominent. He also PLAYED two
solo numbers. and an encore. choos-
| ing adaptions from opera and songs
for his program.

COURAGE OF THE FRENCH
IMPRESSED BY LECTURER
Maj. Pechkof Tells Geographic So
clety Members of Successful
Reha abilitation Work.

Ihat France, far from falling to
take advantage of her victory at
nome. has been working assiduousIv
ever since the armistice to repair the
tremendous damage to her northern
provinces wrought by the world war.
was the assertion last evening of
Maj. Zinovi Pechkoff of the French
army. who addressed members of the
National Geographic Society at New
Masonic TeE,plc. He pointed out that
FRENCH soldiers returned to deSolat ed
homes and broken families, while the
Vanquished Germans returned to a
country wholly uninjured by the war.
photographs and motion pictures
showed factories, mines, railroads.
bridges and even orchards and forests
destroyed by the retreating Germans,
A captured German order to "destroy
so scientifically that France would
be crippled for a decade or more after
the war, no matter who won, was
quoted by the lecturer.
In spite Of the handicaps of hum
dreds of thousands of men lost and
crippled and tremendous debts France
has accomplished a great deal toward
setthG back on d pre-war basis, both
lndustrially and agriculturalIy, Ma j.
Pechkoff said. Much remains to be
done yet TO wipe out the marks of the
invader, the lecturer said. but the
scientific destruction of the Germans
has been met by thoroughgoing recon
StructiOn. and already the products of
French factories in some lines are COM
peting in the markets or the world as
satisfactorily as before the war
The work of hospitals maintained
in the devasted regions by the Amer
lean committee for devastated France,
in caring for the children of those
sections, was illustrated by motion
pictures. In some areas where it has
been impossible 50 far to build new
homes the pOpulace are living in dug
outs and shacks thrown together
from scraps of destroyed dwellings,
Many children who could not have
lived under such conditions when ill
have been taken to convalescent
homes by the committees workers
and nursed back to health.
Maj. Pechkoff'S S address was the last
of the lecture season OF the National
Geographic Society for 1920-21.
