PROTEST MAIL TAX.
Publishers Say Second-Class Rates
Have Risen 375 Per Cent.

Newspaper and magazine publishers,
as represented in the National Pub
fishers Association, today protested
to Secretary Mellon against his sug-
sestion that funds for a soldiers
bonus be raised in part through in
creased rates on second-class postage.
Calling attention to the present rates.
which were declared to have been i'm
posed strictly as war measure" the
association said rates on newspapers
and other periodicals had been in
creased 375 per cent in the last four
years.
1T appears that there is a sinister
influence to tax second-class matter
excessively" the telegram to Mr..
Mellon said, "and this movement
should be stified for publications are
the greatest individual factor in the
stimulation of national life and
spirit"
The telegram was signed by Andrew
c. Pearson, as chairman of the asso-
cations postal committee.

Women's Organization
Urged to Further Idea

An appeal for the adoption of the

throughout the country by the Opera
and Our Language foundation of Chi

Recalling the resolution passed at
the national convention of the fedora

American singer and composer. Mrs.
Archibald Freer. a director of the
foundation, of which Mrs. Edith Rookie
Teller Mccormick is a sponsor. that
native opera be accorded a much larger
portion in the repertory of the WON
ems organization.
1T has greatly surprised u.s. Mrs.
Freer said, that Chicagoans would
contribute S2.5o0.OO0 to secure opera
in Chicago for another five years. with
out SO much as a question or condition
concerning the musical art of this coun-
try-the greatest heritage next to the
country. that can be left to future gen
erations.
The development of the art of a
country not only means an aesthetic
asset. but q commercial one. to the
extent of millions. II our system is
foreign. the millions go elsewhere: if

HELPFUL IDEAS

Variable Condenser

Another example Of the way in which
discarded material may be made to
again give you good service is illus
trated in the following description of a
make your own condenser.
An old 5x7-inch Photographic dry
plate holder, which has been discarded
in favor of the newer film holder, can
be used in the construction of an eff
ficient variable condenser involving a
very small amount of work as detailed
below.
Remove the thin hard rubber slides,
as they will not be required. With a
broken hack-saw blade cut a slot in the
end of the holder midway between the
two slots from which the slides were
removed and of about the same thick
ness and width as these two slots.
Through the new slot remove the black
paper diaphragm which separated the
photographic plates and on the other
end Of the holder cut an opening in the
center about hx1s-inch TO receive the
connectors from the two inside fixed

Donizettis Parents
Were Not Musical

It seems strange that nonizetti, who
composed the famous opera lucia di
Lammermoor' SAould have been so
clever and talented Il musician. His
father was a humble weaver, and his
mother a peasant, in neither of whose
families had there ever been any must
cal talent. Neither did Douizetti leave
a unsteady gifted child. lie alone in
the entire family was Il genius, But
he was Il genius of the first order in
the particular line in which he chose
to work, says the Designer.
His father wanted to make n lawyer
of this, his brightest and most attrac-
tive child. in order to raise the social
status of the family and to improve
their financial condition. But Gaetano
showed a love for the arts when he
was very small, and was first allowed
to study drawing.
Soon, however, he begged for music
lessons and the indulgent father sent
him to Mayer, a most excellent teacher,
who took infinite pains with this very
talented pupil. Gaetano progressed so
rapidly that at the age of ten years he
was made assistant teacher of singing
and violin.
Mayer made him his special pupil in
harmony. and by this time. Donizetti
played the organ, piano. violin. flute
and double bass, and was an excsalent
singer.

Chicago Opera Affords
Formal Showing of
Seasons Latest Gowns

The opening of the Chicago opera
brought the first informal showing of

city. The large beautiful foyer of the
Auditorium which always is the scene
of a gay social function at the end of
the second act. was ablaze with color
this year-pink. blue. violet and q pre-
ponderance of green.
The dominant notes were the bril-
liant colors. the very low bodices, the
absence of sleeves, the glitter of jew
eled embroidery, and the flowing fIut-
tering draperies. The gowns are not
.ong as extremists prophesied. They
are three and four and sometimes five
inches from the floor. Nothing sweeps
the carpets of foyer and corridors ex-
cept the narrow trains and vagrant
points of trailing chiffon draperies,
The ankle has not vanished into the
obscurity of the early years of the
century and hosiery noticed under chif-
fon velvet cloaks as trailing chiffons

marble stairway showed two noticeable

the unsightly seam down the calf OF
the leg and yet fit around the ankle
with the firm snugness that was sup
posed to be dependent on the seam.
and they are chosen to match the ra-

may not dictate.

GIVEN
GREAT OVATION At
HIS n. Y. RECITAL
Fingers mot so Inerrant' as
They Were 10 Years Ago,
Says Critic

Ignace Paderewski former premier
of Poland, was welcomed by q throng
that crowded Carnegie hall, New
York city, to suffocation Wednesday
evening. Nov. 81, when he gave his
first piano recital since leaving
Poland's helm, and the first in five
years. He was given an exception
ally enthusiastic demonstration. ii.
e. Krehbiel, music critic of h New
York Tribune. says of the great VIZ
~tuoso's playing:
And how did Paderewski play? A
proper enough question, though not
one recurring such an answer as
might be demanded were he not the
familiar figure that he has been for
more thar a score of years. He did
not play like the Paderewski whom
New York first knew; nor like the
paderewski of 10 or more years
later. who had unaccountably seemed
to wish to be classed among the sons
of Anak, with muscles and sinews of
a Titan and a desire to use them like
one of the Anakim. No one comes to
Mr.. Paderewski's concerts with the
desire to pick flaws in his technic, or
quarrel with him about his conception
of the music that he plays. Ii any
one should come with such purpose
lit NOHIi SUM ilLIb 1t o'AiIS away
under an influence so persuasive that
he would remain only to wonder at
and admire the thing that is greater
than theSe-the potency of the music
itself. That is the characteristic of
Paderewskis playing, the charm of a
deeply poetical, profoundly musical
intermediary between the composer
and the hearer. Perhaps his fingers
were not so inerrant as once they
were. To be entirely frank. we think
they were not yesterday. There were
slips and inaccuracies in the Chopin
ballade: there were blurrings Of pas
sages not wholly hidden by adroit
devices of concealment in several
pieces, even in the Beethoven sonata.
there were some lsoven rhythms. But
ont of everything there spoke the soul
and shone the radiant face of Music
itself. Why discant upon the minor
things: Beauty spoke her ~benediction
and all but herself was forgotten"

RADIO AMATEURS
WARNED To STICK
TO CRYSTAL SETS
Tendency. to Plunge Into Ex-
pensive Apparatus, Frowned
on by Expert
BY II. GE RNSBACk
Editor. Radio News

Those who have the future of the
radio amateur at heart are "ofrleu'
They are not worried over the perma-
nency of radio as an art or as a pubic
utility. That is assured. But the
future of the amateur phase OF raolo Is
not assure; there is a dark cloud hang-
ing over it at the present time, Which
threatens its very existince.
The tendency of the present Gay
novice is to run along the wrong track.
ard unless he ~reverts to the position
of the amateur of radios early days.
instead of continuing as the greatest
factor in radio development. he VIII
become a mere incident. without the
glory and credit that has belonged to
him in the past.
Tendency of Radio Novice
The buyer Of an automobile who
buys with the idea of driving it him
self and to n large degree caring for
it himself. if he is wise buys a car
of relatively small cost and simple con-
struction. He studies it until he be
comes intimately acquainted with It's
merits and it weaknesses: finds out how
TO get the most and the best out OF
it. BY the time he has mastered his
first car, he is naturally ambitious to
possess one of greater attainments;
one that will do bigger and better
things. And he is fit to be trusted with
such a valuable piece of machinery.
He is almost sure to enlar that he IS
glad that he had sense enough to learn
on the Junior.
But the tendency of the radio novice
is not to climb the ladder of expert
ence but reach the top by one big
bound. To plunge into elaborate and
costly apparatus. This leads to poor
results in receiving and the rendering
of horrible examples" to the neigh
bors; the divorcing from the radio idea
of many who might become enthusiasts
and of benefit to the art.
Start With Crystal Set
The amateur may well start with the
crystal set. 1t presents a fascinating
field for experiment. He should make
his own set if at all mechanically in
clined. Should learn its how and why
from A to u. To know when be is
getting all that is in it, and if not, why
not.
There is a lot of fun and a lot Of
efficiency in a well built crystal set
and a lot of joy in receiving over what
you have made yourself; of showing off
your own child. 1t is doubtful if recelv-
ing over any costly outfit will ever give
the genuine satisfaction to the owner
that from reception Ger the out
fit that cost a few dollars and that
he has himself put together.
Let's get back to the old ways, radio
friend . Let's start with the crystal set,
make a friend of it and learn all of
it's tricks. If we must have a set of
greater capacity, let's try one Of sim
pie construction, with q hook-up not
over our heads. Let's try n single tube
set and master that before we jump
into complex apparatus.

From the way they are coming in,

every third or fourth person in the
United States is at this momen think
ing up sad sweet thoughts about Groom
ing mammies. The fact that there
are no old-fashioned mammies. and
these writer's never saw one anyway,
makes no difference.
4 negro nanny song. as a rule. must
be written about Alabama or Tpnues-
see. because both of those words
rhyme easily and have many syllables.
Alabama, for instance. has four sylla-
bleS and can be made to fit most any
form of melody or time.
