Twelve Year Old Tacoma Lad Sings Notes Higher Than Ever Sung Before. Even By Tetrazzini.
By International News Service,

New York, May 25,-Dr. Frank E. Miller, noted New York surgeon, who
 hsa been attending the boy soprano,
 Robert Murray, of Tacoma, Wash, | has written for International News | Service a diagnosis of the remarka- ble physiological construction of the boy singers throat. The youth is
 twelve years old and was 'tdiscovered' | by Madame Frances Aida. The lad | is said to sing the highest note in all l music, outdistancing even Mime. Te- | trazzini. The doctors diagnosis" | follows:
 | 'I have made several scientific ex- | aminations of the boy soprano, Rob ert | Murray, and state that tl1ts marvellous 1 boy has one of the most wonderful | voices in the world, and has with it the geometrical brain so much desired | by Plato, the philosopher, prdoucing I the strange combination of a perfect scientific singing voice and a. perfect brid voice at will
 '"The great things noticeable about Master Robert Murray are, first and foremost, his charming personality, momentum that is doubly fine and good; second, he has a special kin aesthetic faculty or talent by which he understands and knows at once what to do; third, his careful control of diverse qualities of voice, such as blending very intense tones so that the compass of his voice blends pure boy soprano and as a woman's characteristic quality; fourth. in agility, for he sings twelve arpeggios from G to G i1I five seconds or with three times the rapidity of the usual coloratura singers.
 Voice Has Tremendous Range.
 "He sings with greatest ease colora- tura arias in the original keys and languages with difficult intricate tra- ditional and original cadenzas running to G in the altisSimo of the end octave of the pianoforte. These are sung with accuracy, agility, flexibiity, ac- curate tonality, pitch and with artLs- try The range of his voice runs from 12S V. P. s. below middle c over five octaves to A 6827 V. P. $.

WHEN A GIRL MARRIES

around until I found some old suede slippers into which, by dint of endur- ing little pain, could squeeze my foot The rest of my preparations took only a few minutes and present ly we were chugging off to mee: Phoebe and Neal-our host and hos tess.
 Hardly had we finished our first course of cherrystone clans, when Phoebe made a wry little face and leaned toward Neal.

 ''Poor little PhoebilzinsI' cried Neal. DO you feel badly, dear Put a big chunk of butter on a crust of bread and gulp it down, while I get the waiter to hustle some black coffee along.''
 In an astonishingly short time Nea, had procured the coffee and was pouring it for Phoebe to drink steam ing hot. And so urgently did he hur- ry walters about that bicarbonate of monia followed right along. But by the time they came Phoebe's soft. pink cheeks had recovered from their temporary ashiness, and she declared

 Jim smiled, with a superior big brotherly air.
 Nothing in the world the matter with you, Phoebe, but a loss of nerve. Next time you don't like the looks of a clam, either restrain your appetite or your imagination" he said with a smile that just took the edge off his malice. @
 Phoebe looked at Jim reproachful- 1y and replied with real spirit:
 You aren't very kind or synpa- thetic, Jim. If Neal hadn't been so dear to me I might have had pto- maine. I hope you're nicer to Anne than you were to me just now-oth- erwise I'd be sorry for her if she ever got ill.,
 Jim's color deepened and his eyes flashed.
 ..Now he's going to offend Phoebe, too," moaned soundlessly ito myself But Jim suddenly grinned, boyishly, disarmingly and with the utmost good hunor. He laid his hand on mine and I knew what the pressure of his fingers meant.
 "Right you are, little Miss Preach er," he said. ''Tm sorry. And I'll be considerate of Anne's ankIe-just for you. Are we friends?''
 "Oh, Jimmie!" cried Phoebe, con trite1y. 'tTm sorry, too. As if we could ever stop being friends!''
 ''It is absurd isn't it?'' replied Jim eagerly.

Why couldn't I have controlled my righteous Indignation and managed gently to bring the boy to a realiza- tion of his wrongdoing?
 Isn't there generally a kindly way of reaching our conclusions and ac- mplishing our purposes?
 Isn't there a certain amount of bru- tality inherent in human nature? What else is temper and a lack of self-control but an expression of the animal that lives in us all and dies so hard?
 It requires thought and energy to pause and explain. Gentleness means also tact and patience. But it makes an impression such as no amount of indignation can accomplish.
 There isn't always time to stop and figure out a kindly way of accom- plishing something which must be done at once. A perempitory word may get attention, while a deprecat- g1oats in tne power it is abusing.
 But it always pays to make a trial of the kindly method. If it won't t work-there's still time for an ex- pression of the strength that cannot fail to make itself felt

 Not very hong ago an English phy-- sbcian, who was also gentleman or title "across the pond" was reported against bathing mostly because bath iner does not remove germs from the skin Then we learned that Jap anese physician pr.

 What people really bathe for is to remove ordinary visible dirt and un- wholesome precipitation; and to gel the pleasant and healthful feeling that comes from the water itself. and from the toweling after the bath What bathing really does, is to keep the delicate muscles under the skin working well, and to help the flow of blood to the surface of the body There is a vast sea of blood beneath the surface of the skin. and it ought to be kept flowing well; then there will be good blood circulating freshly through the internal organs and ev- anywhere else in the body
 The practice of bathing should be begun in infancy and never left off a tepid water tub every morning, and a washdown with soap once a week. Twenty minutes is enough for any bath. A cold plunge brings on good reaction but this is only for the strong and those accustomed to it.

DOROTHY EfHEL WALSH

In my last article I spoke of how to treat the walls of a room in which the ceiling was low. Today I want to tell of a way to overcome the op- posite condition, that which is found in old-fashioned homes-the too- high room.
 Rather than a too-1ow room many people prefer that the ceiling should err on the side of height, as such a room seems always to have more. air circulating in it. However. the old time high rooms present difficulties to one trying to make them appear home-Hke and cosy.
 The best way to do under the cir cumstances is to try to bring the ceiling dewn as much as possible, and if perpendicular lines make a wall appear high, horizontal ones will tend to lower them.
 Break the wall surface into as many horizontal planes as is possi- ble when the ceiling is too high By using a frieZe of Is inches and of the same color as the ceiling, it will appear that much lower- Beneath
