BY w. j. HENDERs son.

Miss Anita Atwater. soprano, was
heard for the first time here In a song
recital given last evening In FAeolian
IialL Her program was one of wide
range. as is often the case with the
programs of singers whose ambition
outruns discretion. IL takes confidence
10 challenge an audience at the outset
with Beethoven's broadly phrased Die
Ilimmel ruhmen" and to follow it with
the Able Liszt's descriptive Die
Lorelei." This not suffcing, Miss At
water completed her first group with
Hugo Wolffs "Elfenlied."
The cavatina from Bizet's Les
Pecheurs des Perles" figured in the sec
. ond group. and the third contained an
III glish folk song harmonzed by
Deems Taylor and furnished with some
harmonic additions by the singer. The
last group was Spanish and included
two Chilean folk songs Miss Atwater
was heard by a large audience
This singer has a voice which ought
70 sound beautiful all the time instead
o. only some of the time. But there
appeared again that bugaboo of vocal
art, a tight throat. II is quite possible
tnat when Miss Atwater sings at home
fof her friends her tones are free and
LIQUID; but there was no question that
the conditions of public recital im-
posed upon her delivery artificial re-
straints wholly inimical to the best es-
tate of her voice.
To sing with a perfectly free tone is
one OF the first essentials of progress
toward success. Miss Atwater may in
time rid herelf of all consciousness of
the vocal mechanism and deliver her
tones. like a bird; but she did not do so
last evening. Conrad Bos at the piano
performed some remarkable feats of ex-
ploration and discovery.

ADVERTISING OF PUBLIC

MADISON, WIS., Many stallion

vice, or are using posters that give
false impression of the breeding of
the stallion" said A.. B. Alexander Of
the State Department of Agriculture.
"This is violation of the stallion
law, and is punishable by fine or i'm
prisOnment." Ms
stallion posters, to comply with
, the law, need not be elaborate, but
must contain an exact copy of the
license, with a heading showing
whether the stallion is "Pure Bred
"Grade" or "Mongrel or Scrub" 1t
is illegal to word grade or scrub
posters in such way that the patron
may think the stallion to be pure.
This is sometimes done by printing
the pedigree of pure bred sire or
dam in such a way that it appears to
be the pedigree OF. the stallion adver-
tised. On grade and scrub posters
the word GRADE or SCRUB"
must be at least as large as the name
of the horse. mr..
"The State Department of Agricul-
tural will furnish instructions to any
stallion owner or printer upon ap-
plication. 1t would be well for any
who are in doubt about the legality
of their posters to send copy to
this Office for inspection, or to write
for instructions before having new
posters printed that may be illegal
