1t is understood. has planned to
embody a recommendation for recog-
milton in the speech. Mr.. Connally

RANCE PL AN TO BE ATTRACTIVE FEATURE OF BONUS Bill
TO CONGRESS FOR
ACTION ON SOLDIERS BONUS
WITH SALES TAX TOPAY IT

We respectfully petition Congress to pass the SOL
ders bonus act without further delay and also to levy
sales tax to obtain the money to pay the bonus for
the following reasons:
FIRST-Public opinion throughout the United
States is mdeniaby in favor of the soldiers bonus,
a. shown by the decisive majority in every State in
which q popular referendum has been taken-n
Maine by 3 to l; New jersey, 3k to l; New York
nearly to l; Rhode Island, 8 to /; Wisconsin, to
l; Oregon, to l; Washington, 2h to /; and SO on
SECOND-We believe that Congress, if permitted
to vote the soldiers bonus will favor it with even
greater unanimy, regardless Of party, than the Popu
have already approved it, believe that the soldiers
bonus cannot and ought not to be defeated and that
the longer it Is postponed the greater the injustice.
TIiIRD-We believe the new tax scheme proposed
by the Ways and Means Committee is only little
less Questionable than Secretary Melons proposal for
treecent postage and tor new th.seeentsss no.a
any solders' bonus whatever, and hope by linking It
with such new, destructive, and unpopular taxes to
kill the proposition altogether.
FOURTH-If the soldiers bonus is not only right
but inevitable and If the United States is not to lag
behind England France Italy, Canada and Australia,
our payment Is already long overdue, not as debt
flor debt to the soldiers can never be paid but
as Just tribute to the valor and the sacrifice OF the
men who won the
FIFTH-The only question that remains is: By
what system of taxations shall the money be raised!
Not by bond issues, because it Is against the tadi-
tona policy of the United States to increase debt in
time of peace Not by any irritating unreasonable, or
destructive tax individuals, business, industry,
because we already have too many such taxes. A
small general sales tax will raise than enough to
pay the soldiers bonus; it will bear heavily upon no
one If the experience of Canada and our own Philip
pine Islands, where the sales tax is IN operation Is re-
peated, the system will meet with such favor that it
will become one of the approved methods of raising
necessary revenue after the soldiers bonus has been
paid

Two "Sextets" Offered
On New Edison List

In to the many requests
received by the Edison laboratories, the
"Sextet' from Lucia di Lammermoor'
Donizettil has been recorded by two
different sextets on the same disc for
the October list Of Edison re-creations.
On one side of the disc the "Sextet'
is sung by Alice Verlet, Guido Cleco-
lini. Arthur Middleton, Henri Scott,
Merle Alcock and Enrico Baroni. On
the other side it is sung by Marie Rap.
pold, Margaret Matzenauer, Giovanni
Zenatello, Arthur Middleton, Thonas
Chalmers and Enrico Baroni. In each
instance it is sung in Italian. Those
who have heard the two recordings say
there's a different Interpretation for
different moods
One of the most charming and beau
tiful Edison re-creations listed for DC
tober is the "Humoreske" song, which
is sung by Walter Van Brunt, tenor.
Dvorak's 'Humoreske' melody is used
for the refrain, coupled with the theme
of "Way Down Upon the Swanee Xiv
err" On the reverse side Of the disc is
where the Silvery Colorado Wends
It's Way" The nan of youth, the
fidelity of true love and the tragedy
of a broken heart form the sentiment
of this song, which also is SUNG by Mr..
Van Brunt. :,
Van THEIRS Dear Ol~d-fashioned
Irish Songs My Mother Sang to Me"
is another song number on the October
list. 1t is sun by George McFadden,
who has a clear tenor voice of a Vi
brant, rich quality that records per-
fectly. 1t is a song reminiscent of the
days Of long ago. On the reverse side
of the recreation is Zone Loving Ca
ress," a duet sung by Gladys Rice and
Marion Evelyn Cox, soprano and con-
tralto, two voices that blend s~plendidly.
Good photograph comedians are rare,
but there are two numbers on the Ed
ison October list which. promise to
make Julian Rose one Of the best In
the line. His mimicry and story telling
in "Sadie's Birthday Party" and Becky,
the Spanish Dancer" are surely laugh
provoking.

THE distinguished writer BONNER
has published such an excellent treat
Use on the art of singing and voice
production that there remains little to
be said on the most interesting and
much disputed subjects" says Emma
Calve in the Saturday Evening Post.
in reading his book recently | came
across a remark which struck me as
particularly appropriate in connection
with my school at Cabrieres.
Bonner says in effect that those
who have had long experience as sing
ers, even if their achievement may not
have been more than mediocre, are
alone among mortals the ~custodians OF
a little secret. The secret of the
voice. They alone are able to trans
nit this secret to the uninitiated. Only
a singer can teach the art of singing;
only a vocalist can train the voice
Even among the birds is this true.
If a young nightingale is separated
from his kind he sings but poorly and
imperfectly. Should he be placed,
while he is still a fledgling, in a cage
of sparrows, he would chirp as shrilly
as do they. In order to learn the full
use of his voice he must be brought up
with his own kind. He must listen
constantly to the limpid notes of the
full grown birds about him, which he
will soon strive to emulate and may
in the end be able to surpass.
yet, though this may seem an al
most self-evident truth, it is curious
and sometimes absurd to note that
among those who undertake to teach
the difficult art of singing will be
found pianists, theater managers, pro-
~fessors or solfeggio, teachers of pan
tomime, ladies in reduced circum-
stances, even ~ex-chorus
II know of one instance where the
lady's maid of a famous opera star has
become a teacher of singing, and Incl
dentally, has made a very good bust
ness of it.

We all of us have at some time read
advertisements of how to build your
own this or that and a lot of US have
tried ito our disappointment. Radio
furnishes a notable exception. One of
its great charms is that a receiving
outfit-one that will work-can be put
together with little work and less mon
ey. If even a year ago many of US
had read that with an expenditure of
not yer three dollars we could have
heard a program of grand opera COM
ing from as far as 15 to % miles, we
would have put it down as just an
other of the old catch-penny affairs.
But now we know it can be done.
Johns boy Willie has proved it. Below
is a description of a set that can be
built for three dollars. Either a Ga
lena or Pericon deteetor can be used.

crystals of a pericon set. A loop aerial

FARRAR'S PROGRAMS
HOLD AUDIENCE IN
SUSTAINED INTEREST
Metropolitan Opera Soprano
Has a Natural Versatility
of Talent.

Great as are the rewards of opera
for singers who have made a success,
there is yet to be found a true artist
who is content to spend his or her en-
tire career upon the stage. They all
realize that the true test of their art
is found not in the opera but in the
concert room and more particularly IN
the singing of songs. As the highest
and most exacting form of instrumental
music is found in the trio and the quar-
tet, so the highest and most exacting
form of singing is demanded in concert.
Tn opera the great orchestra, the
scenery, the costumes, the lights and
the dramatic interest of the work itself
all combine to give aid to the singer.
But standing alone on the stage with
only the piano as a helpmate is a prop
osition of entirely different character.
True artist that she is, Geraldine
Farrar longs since realized that if she
was to become the complete artist,
she must venture into concert work.
