Kaufman Is government music stu
dent. ~
The secret of Kaufman's unusual
accomplishment has bafied voice ex-
perts as well as himself. Several
years ago he discovered his ability to
produce overtones which gave the
sound Of more than one part. He en-
tered the MacPhai school at Mime
apolis as a government student and,
rs his voice strengthened and became
learer, he developed the curious trio.
The only case remotely similar to
that Of Kaufman, according to his In
structor in the government school, is
that of woman singer in whose voice
could be distinguished one separate
overtone, over which she had practi-
cally no control. The former soldier
in some way has separated and con-
trolled tenor, bass and baritone parts
simultaneously.

SCOUT SERVICE

In a report to the national council
Headquarters, a scoutmaster fills in
the blank asking for comment upon
his troops community good turns as
follows: Did everything they could,
anywhere" which seems to be typical
of the spirit of scouts throughout the
country. The jobs aren't always the
pleasantest sort either, or the easiest,
but when a scout tackles the thing
he does il for all he's WORTH" with
brain and Drawn and a right good
will. Here are a few little things
scouts in Birmingham did, in their
leisure hours" 1t looks as If these
boys were not only going to be good
citizens in the future, but are good
citizens, here and now.
One scout repaired bridge. cleaned
mud out of two curbs and drained
ditch; half-hour time
Five scouts removed a large pile
of brush where trees had oeen
trimmed up; 10 minutes each.
Five scouts repaired street where
1t had washed out by piling rocks and
brush and then dirt on top; one hours
time.
Two scouts buried a dead hen, that
the city health department would not
remove; 80 minutes time.
Four scouts dug a drainway to let
standing water out Of the street, and
opened up ten sewers and % cutters.
Two scouts repaired bridge and
opened four sewers and 20 cutters
ten hours.
One scout cut a dead tree which
stood close by the passageway and
was very dangerous to those passing
one hour.
Eleven scouts worked two hours get
ting water out of basement of church
then built fire and dried out the
place.
Three scouts repaired four sewers
also raked up a lot of leaves from
around a house and burned them, a:

HAVING thought of it more or less
l. l. for years-and decidedly more
since her engagement-many a June
bride has already determined just
what her wedding gown shall be made
of and how it shall be made. Ira
dition points unswevingly to white
satin and lace for materials and TO
graceful lines and simple designs ia
the style, and within these bounds
there is much room for variations.
But there are all sorts of precedent
for going beyond Nem and choosing
other fabrics and less simple design
ing. The bride must determine for
herself whether she wishes to look re-
gal or demure, classic or quaint. very
youthful and unsophisticated or very
modern and up-to-date, and choose Il
gown accordingly; her choice must be
governed by her type
Conceding that satin will hold the
allegiance Of many brides, the choice
of many others will fall on georgette,
! chiffon, crepe de chine, lace or the
sheerest and finest wolfe. Occasional

recent allies has failed OF its purpose
in precisely the same way that Ger
man propaganda In this country failed
in every one of the years between
1914 and 1878" says an editorial in
The American Legion Weekly.
THE truth is merely that the Ger

any knowledge of the fine art of get

tested by the reflex action which has
accompanied the present attempt. The
Won Mach style of persuasiveness Is
no more subtle than the efforts Of a
st. Bernard puppy to stand up on a
hardwood floor. 1t Is flattering the
Won Mach type of boring from within
to call its insidious. Insidlous 1t is
however, in its intent If not in its APP
plication.
