MccUMBER: PLAYBOY

DELIBERATELY and without a blush,
- Senator McCumber declared In the Sen.

made to work with "the interest on our
foreign loans That Is, he would have

bonuses to the amount Of about 81, ,OOO, 900.
600 from the treasures of Europe.
Yet no one knows better than McCumber
himself that. for the present Mt least,
Europe IL the last place TO which any sane
man would look for any greatsquantity of
money.
Would the Senator reorganize the army
and send it abroad to collect the foreign
debt in order that bonuses might be paid |?
\ Would he ask the ex service men to fpht
an0fher war to get some slight money re.
wards for the work they did in the war re.
Gently ended? Hardly.
Mr.. McCumber il talking, as they say.
through his nose. He Is talking to be heard.
He Is making political medicine, resorting
to one OF the cruelest and most rcprebepsi :
bic campaigns Of sophistry ever attempted in
Congress. He knows that the Senate will
not pass his bill. and that II the bill were
passed the President would veto IL.

A FUNDAMENTAL OF THE FAIR

NNHE resolution designed to pledge the city
L to the condemnation Of such land as may
Be considered necessary to round out the
fair site is In sufficiently general terms to
cover the specific project along the Schuyl-
Kill which John Frederick Lewis has so
strongly advocated. A program Of this kind
presupposes a definite understanding upon
what constitutes a necessity and what 4
superfuity
Various interests now in control Of both
banks Of the river between Fairmount Dam
and Market street may be expected to in.
weigh against any change from the present
eonditions.
Debates and protests are perhaps un.
avoidabls. Philadelphians sincerely inter.
ested In the success Of the exposition are
justified in desiring a curtailment of wran.
Cling and the limitation, as much as Is
humanity possible. Of lamentation over a
proposal which would redeem an important
central section of the city and establish the
fair enterprise as a splendid instrument Of
municipal progress.
Assuming for the moment that the fair
and its historical and national and inter.
national features are separable, the under.
taking would be magnifcently worth while
II Its accomplishment were restricted to the
destruction Of eyesores along the Schuylkil
ana the rehabilitation OF districts that have
for years retarded the growth Of the COM
munity and the proper utilization of its
own resources.
Members Of the Fair Association are en-.
tfrely aware that housecleaning along the
low unsightly river Is im,,eratively needed.
The public. with the exception of pull back
and die hard elements and those obstruc.
tionists concerned for the security Of mis-.
placed stockyards. shambles and junk heaps,
unquestionably entertains a similar opinion.
Opposition from the railroads need not
be insuperable. Representatives Of the
Baltimore and Ohio and the Reading were
seemingly placated at the c0uncilma ME
committee meeting when Mr.. Lewis sug.
sested the erection Of concrete archways or
platforms above the tracks over which fair
buildings and avenues could be built.
The speeding up of action upon the
8.OOO.O0O appropriation by Council IL
assurance that the municipality is officially
ready to assist in solving the financial prob.
lens of the fair. National. State and city
aid will be multiplied in value il the Schuyl-
XII is made fit for the great carnival In
which Philadelphia will serve as host to the
world.
Indeed. 1t may be said that the exposi.
tion will be disastrously handicapped unless
this wisely planned improvement to the site
n authOritatively executed.

However. I am glad to say that this tenn.
porary condition has begun to improve
rapidly.
II believe that the course which vocal
composition has taken Is. to a certain ex.
tent. responsible for some Of the evils with
which vocalization now finds itself beset.
The original was the bel canto. and this was
the style Of the early Italian masters under
fnfes hsRss s" .nes that SF0aEns t%s
there have been many and marked deviations
from the system adopted and accepted by
the early Italians.
Most Nations Departed From It
But this style was never adopted to any
extent by the great German masters except
Mozart. who wrote both italian and Ger.
man operas. There was also marked devi.
aiion by the French after a certain period
until Gluck. With him came the more dra :.
matte elements which were to eliminate In
wagner. and then really began the decline
OF the Italian method. The enormous popu .
iarity o: the German opera later com.
French compositions Of 1ebussy and his is
followers are an attempt to revive again the
Italian style of the early days and fo make

NICHOLAS pouTY
On American Sinners and SInalna


Tn THE last few years. especially since
ency among the great singing instructors to
return to the simpler. and more lyric style
Of singing, says Nicholas Douty. an au.
thority on the voice and singing.
This has been the case to q very, large
extent In the United States" said Mr..
ency will also be found among the best
foreign teachers. All the great singers seem
to be coming back to the italian foundation
upon which all singing was originally based.
There can be- little doubt. think. that
the training Of the voice in the method which
has prevailed and been 10 popular for 80
enormous popularity Of the 'wagnerian
operas: This gigantic musical influence was
felt all over the world. and the singers and
their teachers consequently neglected the
old bel canto' style Of singing. which was
purely lyric and was based entirely upon
the sounds OF the vowels.
Fewer Great Teachers
yet in the older days We had lot Of
ers. teachers who turned out not one. but
q large number Of artists Of the highest
caliber. Among those who stood out pre-.
eminently among the teachers Of the world
were Marches among the women and
Sbrislia among the men. II you will re.
view mentally the great singers Of the last
generation you will nee that nearly every
one Of the women was a Dupil Of Marchesi
and nearly every one Of the men a pupil Of
Sbrislia.
At the present time there does not seem
to be any such distinguished teachers. nor
tor that matter does there appear to be the
number OF great singers that there formerly
were; that Is. those possessed Of that pre-.
eminest genius which makes them stand out
like beacons In the world OF music
For one thing. think that It Is too soon
after the war to expect very great artistic
results. But l am looking forward and
hoping to see soon a school Of singing in
which beauty Of tone shall be considered TO
be quite as important as, II not more 20 than.
the dramatic expression which had been the
goal OF all singers. both In opera and In
song during the past decade.
Tho American Singers
1--WE appear to- be In a condition of chaos
with regard to all the fine arts, and I think
that music. being perhaps the most sensitive
OF them AL, Y more strongly affected by
this condition than any OF the others. Since
the'death Of Caruso We have not any singer
Of the superlative rank which he deseryedy
held. In the twenty years previously we
had at least dozen Of them. Until the
effects OF the war become less potent and
going on all over the world becomes less
produce singers Of that class.
"And yet In the. United States the level
Of singing Is very much higher than II was
before the war; WAL BY me level, ! mean the
