Professor Still Has Hope, However, That Blending Of Races In America Will Save Song

NEW YORK, Dec. 22.-The English l speaking peoples have developed a | language excellent for their use in the intimaeies of daily life, but fatal in it's efforts on the human voice as singing organ, according to Prof. Edoardo Petri, director of the Chorus l School of the Metropolitan Opera company. Professor Petri says that English is practically a "voiceless language, lacking in pitch and reso- nance, which are themselves the very head and front, not to mention back bone, of singing.
 Listen to a conversation between a | couple of Italians, for instance, says | Professor Petri, speaking naturally | of Italians. as they are his country men, but adding that what he said applied to any of the Latins, and you will see how differently they use | their voices; how the sounds in their | language are strong, vibrant, reso- nant sounds. Here the professor in- l terrupted himself to show how the | name Carlos was hurled forth from | the lips of an Italian speaker, almost | Carrrrrl lohs, while at the hands of an educated English-speaking per | son it was almost Cah-los, the "ah" | not too long at that.
 However, the professor is not be- reft of all hope. He says that to this
 
 glory of overcoming the disabilities | which the English language in it's | centures of development has saddled l upon the human voice, but that America may produce the finest | voices of the future. There is such | a great blending of all races here, he s-.rs, that the English language may easily gain something from the | blend.
 
 Climate Not Responsible. | The fulminations of the director against the English language in rela- | tion to voice of those using it for a flew generations were called forth by | question on the effect of the American climate. Professor Petri made it very plain that in his opinon climate had nothing whatever to do with it.
 Naturally. he said, If climate were such that it caused man or woman to be in i'll health,u the voice l would be unfavorably affected but
 in no other way, he said, could a cer- tain climate be said to produce good voices or bad voices.
 There are good voices in every climate said the professor, adding | that in the school under his direction he had representatives of many na- | tions, some of whom were born in | this country and some in the lands of | their forefathers.

Feminine Of Czar Is Bazar And Plural Of Solo Is Duet, Are Other Replies To Ques- tionS

NEW YORK, Dec. 22.-"The femi- nine of 'czar' is 'bazar.'
 "The plural of solo Is duet
 The flappers of a country are its flora
 These are some recent answers to questions put by the civil service commission in examinations, accord ing to President William c. Demlng of the commission.
 Discussing the problems faced in securing employees for the govern ment, MT. Deming said:
 "The commission has to deal not only with the highly sensitive em- ploye, who imagines he is being dis eliminated against, but with the sus- picious person, who builds up from a false premise some conclusion which topples like a house of cards when subjected to the light of simple in- quiry. Perhaps the most striking in- stance of this character was the ex- ample of a we'll meaning employe in government department who had occasion to check over lists of eligi- bles certified under the civil service rules.
 Asks Confidential Interview.
 This employe came to the comn.is- sion and asked for confidential in- terview, stating that it was believed

FLAPPER FLORA OF NATION, IS JOB HUNTERS DEFINITION

in the bureau in which he worked that partisan politics was being car ried on in defiance of the civil serv Ice rules. When asked for the evi- dence the informant stated that he had observed upon certain lists of eligibles certified by the commission and passed over his desk that after one name would be the letter D, which he had been told indicated that the eligible was a democrat; after another the letters F R., which he understood cant faithful republic an,' and after others the letter A, which he was sure meant appoint.
 "The visitor was very much sur prised and relieved when shown the commission form! 1765, on which lists of eligibles are certified, with foot note showing key terms as follows: "A, selected F. R., failed to reply; N S., not selected; W. A., wrong ad- dress, and D., declined.'
 "It may be that the civil service commission occasionally makes a mis- take. but when it is considered that annually we receive more than a mill lion communications. not counting applications; examine more than a quarter of million competitors and certify eligibles to fill more than 50,000 vacancies, it is not to be ex- pected that everybody will be satis- fled

 Gives Birth Three Separate Years. By far the greater number of mis- representations are among those who falsify their age or experience. We have cases in which the same indi- vidual in filling out different applica- tions at different times has given his birth in at least three separate years, and only recently we had one case in which an applicant claimed to be 10 years younger than he really was and alleged that he had never known his correct age until the civil service commission established it to his full satisfaction. It is needless to say that this applicant went on the "barred list" for a prescribed period, which Is one of our penalties for misrepresentation.
 "We have had cases where one member of a family, competent to pass an examination, imperonated another member of the family, who was the real applicant, but did not have confidence in his ability to pass. Under the commissions system it iS not possible to carry this deception to successful conclusion.
 An applicant for small town postmastership gave New Mexico as her birthplace. When shown by the commission conclusive evidence that she was born in Italy she explained the misstatement by saying that she was brought to this country so young that she supposed she was born in the United States"

HATED RADIO SO HE GOES INSANE New Science WreckS Life Of Man Who Could Not
 Tolerate It

NEW YORK, Dec 22.-Radio has wrecked the life of Louis Wander puyl 50, of No. 22 Overpeck avenue, Ridgefield Park, N. J. He was com mitted to the Hackensacls hospital by County Judge Edward Johnson on complaint of his wife. In her affi- davit Mrs. Vanderpuyl set forth that she believed radio has unbalanced her husbands mind and that he re- centy began to mutter remarks that she would be "mothering orphans"
 Vanderpuyl. strangely enough. never loved radio He despised it. Six months ago he went into the re- corder's court in Ridgefield Park seeking action against a neighbor who persisted In broadcasting the music from his receiving set by keeping all the windows of his apart | Fment open. The court told Wander puyl it could take no action.
 Seeking means of retaliation against his neighbor, yanderpuyl bought as large a radio set as he could afford and took to warning against the neighbor by putting full power on his set and opening all the windows of the Vanderpuyl apart ment.
 Recently, however, the strain be- gan to show on Vanderpuyl. accord ing to his wife. His commitment to the hospital brought to a sad end Ridgefield Parks radio war.

CROSS BILL DIVORCE FILED BY WIFE SAYS| FRAMED BY HUSBAND


 Mrs. Julia T.. MacLetchie, wife of Robert NJ. MacLetchie, treasurer of the Alabama Power company and vice president of the Anniston Steel company, the former defendant in divorce suit filed Thursday in the chancery court of Jefferson county, has filed a cross bill against her hus- band alleging that MT. MacLetchie "framed" her. Judge William Walker will be asked tG adjudge the equities of the couples claims.
 MT MacLetchie came to Birming- ham two years ago from New York city. According to the bill of com plaint. the husband left his wife be- hind in New York. Her present resi- dence was given as 112 West Eighty seventh street. New York. Mrs. Mac Letchie's cross bill charges that her husband hired detectives to frame" her in reply to his charges of infi-. delity. In Mir. MacLetchie's petitione
