SEATS AVAILABLE F0R CONCERT YET,
 MANAGERS STATE
MartinelIi Hailed As Bright Light of Birmingham's 1923 Music
 Season

Acclaimed by critics and laymen alike as Caruso's successor. Giovanni Martinelli, noted Italian tenor. will make his first appearance in Bir- mingham Monday night at the Jef- ferson theatre, under the auspices of the All-Star concerts. Managers of the concerts Saturday night, said there were some good seats left in both the orchestra and balcony, statement comforting to those who have not yet made reservations The gallery seat sale will begin at : o'cock Monday night.
 Martinelli's supporting artists are Salvatore Fucito, coach and accom- panist of the late Enrico Caruse, and Flora Greenfield, hailed as one of the most notable of the young sopranos, and one of the most beautiful.
 Birmingham music lovers who have had the good fortune to hear Marti- nelli are enthusiastic over the pros poets of hearing him Monday night, and their comments are all very fla Nora ble. Among these are M V. Jo 7 seph. Mrs Nassar Allen and Fred Wiegand.
 The All-Star concerts gave Bir- mingham one of the greatest treats of the season in bringing Jascha Heifet@ here.' says MT. Wiegand. "Martinelli, one of the most finished and popular tenors of the day. will doubtless be much enjoyed. His ac- companist, Fucito, the former coach of the beloved Enrico Caruso, is as great an attraction as Martinelli, to my way of thinking"
 Three great ar1as are included in Martinclli's program for Monday from La Bohemia Piccini); 70 Muto from La Boheme (Pucc;nD 70 Muto Asil," from William Tell" tRossinD, and "Oh, Paradise" from Mayerbeer's "Africana."
 Flora Greenfields chief offering will be the aria from Gounod's Queen of Shcoba,N Plus Grand Dans Son Obscurite."

time such things are done in ig-
 norance of what real charity means.
 To exploit an individual because of
 his poverty is bound eventually to
 take away from him every vestige
 of self-respect that he holds dear.
 Nobody likes to be pointed out as
 an object of charity or the receiver
 Of aims. l have known mothers and
 even children to suffer every kind
 of torture and almost reach the point of death rather than seek to become
 charitable charge on anybody.
 There is something in the pride of
 the human that shrinks from the fact
 being known to others of his fel-
 lowmen that he has had to sink so
 low in the scale of human endeaver
 that he has had to seek aid even
 as a last resort.
 And that is why charity" once a
 very beautiful name. has in latter
 days been looked upon as something to be stunned. It Is only because the poor and the needy have been exploited on account of their mis. fortune, and for this reason they go to great extremeties before permit ting themselves to be so exploited. Those who are truly charitable and
 want to give, do their utmost to save
 such people from becoming known, | and the finest thought of real charity today Is centered around making it possible to give the individual the help when he needs 1t with the least kind of noise. and enabling him to get on his feet, as 1t were, as quick ly as possible.
 I do not wish to cast any aspersion
 at the good people who helped the young girl mentioned ia this article
 they meant well and were very kind but it is important that those who
 really want to. help should -ealize how much injury they may inflict
 on the needy by spreading them be-
 fore the public.
 The biggest things that are done in the world in the way of charity are done quietly and with little or no knowledge except by those directly interested. and the names of individ- uals directly affected are alway s l withheld by those who have at heart the interest of the one aided. It is to be regretted, but true. that there are those people who give only
 when they can get their names in print or are otherwise heralded in some brass band" way as the givers
 of some gift.
 l The real saviors of mankind rarely blow their own horns or permit any one else to do it for them.

time you ever did it. Tell her you always did.'
 Now. what is the explanation of that?"
 But 1t is so simple. No woman wants a kiss to be an isolated act of charity and grace some Boy Scouts good deed for the day. She prefers 1t to be the pre- sumption of pastor the assump- tion of a future.
 W. L. George is the man who | awoke in the morning and found himself famous for understanding women. He admits it. So do some of the women who read his novels, although the verdict Is by no means unanimous.
 | MT. George, in the current issue of the Womans Home Companion, has a touching little story to illustrate that feminine modesty in which-so our critics inform us--modern women are deplorably lacking. The tale con- cerns MT. Georges paternal grand mother, whom his mother detected sprinkling several handfuls of bran in the bath she had just prepared for herself.
 "Is bran good for the skin?" the younger woman asked.
 T use It. her mother-in-law in- formed her, severely ito cloud the water. Otherwise, I should not feel decent"
 MT. Harding assures us that he Is not going to call an extra session of Congress because the country needs a rest. As regards Congress, some of us feel that we need Hamlet's brand of rest-you know That rest is silence"

VICE PRESIDENTS ADVICE

The friendship of former Vice Presi-
dent Marshall for scouting is of long
standing, dating back to the very be-
ginning of the movement. Mr.. Mar
shall as president of the senate signed
the congressional bill. Incorporating
the Boy Scouts Of America, February
Sth, 1910. The former vice president who
keeps In close and sympathetic touch
with scout affairs, recently In Indian
apolis conferred the highest award OF
rank which scouting offers, the Eagle
badge, on three boys at Court OF
Honor meeting. 81 sincerely hope that
when you grow to your majority you
will practice the same loyalty to your
country that you now show to your
scout leaders," he said In addressing
the scouts, "You have attained
high honor In scouting, but do not let
1t make you 'chesty.' Just think that
nature has made you little more fitted
to qualify for this honor, and always
remember to lend a helping hand to
your less fortunate brother scouts, and
aid them In every possible way to at
tain this honor ALSO"

HOUSEKEEPER WOULD
HAVE IDEAL LAUNDRY
Running Water and Modern Labor
Saving Devices Cannot Always
Be Provided.

prepared by the United States Department
of Agriculture.)
The ideal of every housekeeper
would be a separate room for her laun-
dry with running water and modern
labor-saving devices. These cannot be
provided In every home, but even
where the arrangement and equipment
are necessarily very simple 1t is often
possible to make minor changes or to
plan the work In such a way that 1t
will take less time and strength.
In olden days, tubs and wash
benches were brought into the kitchen
because water could be heated there
most conveniently, and from this
seems to have developed the Idea that
the kitchen is the place for the laun-
dry. The doors and steam from !aun-
dry work, however. are disagreeable
In kitchen, and the handling Of
soiled clothing In any room in which
food is prepared is highly objection
able. II clothes must be washed in
the kitchen the preliminary sorting
should be done elsewhere.
In some sections II is considered
preferable to have the washing done
out of doors or in a room outside of
the house. Otherwise the best place
for a laundry is usually either in a
room next to the kitchen or In base
ment room directly below 1t, because
this makes 1t possible to use the same
chimney and if the house is equipped
with running water the same water
pipes for both rooms. A basement
laundry generally means too many
stairs for the housewife. while room
adjoining the kitchen may enable her
much more easily to carry on or over
see the work In both rooms at the
same time.
Good lighting Is necessary for good
laundry work, and tubs and ironing
board should be so placed that the
light comes from the side. Doors and
windows should be arranged to give
the thorough ventilation especially
The silver state. [volume] (Winnemucca, Nev.) 1909-1925, 1923-04-19
necessary because of steam. odors and

heat.
A laundry floor should be Of mate
rial that wears well. is not too hard
for the feet, does not soak water or get
slippery when wet, and Is easily
cleaned. Wood, cement, composition
and linoleum are used. Wood floors
are not easily cleaned and are often
slippery when wet. Cement floors are
common in some parts of the country
and relatively inexpensive, and II
painted with special cement paint they
do not absorb water. Some compost
ton floors are not too hard. are less
expensive than hardwood, and are
easily cleaned. A floor covered with
linoleum Is easily wiped up, is i'm
pervious to moisture, and Is easy to
tread, but is slippery when wet. OIL
paints are preferable to water color
for the walls.
The room should be divided into a
washing and an ironing section. The
position of tine stove will determine
the details of this division. To make
boiling the clothes convenient, the
stove should be near. the tub. II a
washing machine is to be used. the tub
should be so arranged that the gar
ments go directly. without handling,
from the machine through the wiring
err to the tub. and vice versa. II ar
rangement Is well planned one wash
tub will be sufficient with a washing
machine.

FAIRBANKS A scoUTMAsTER

When Chief Scout Executive James
Il. West returned to New York from
his extensive western and north
western tour, the most interesting
piece of news he had for the boy scout
world, at least as far as the boys
were concerned, was the announce
ment that Douglas Fairbanks will be-
come an official scoutmaster.
Mr.. West with VIM. g. McAdoo, ma
tional vice president Of the Boy
Scouts Of America, had an interesting
visit with Mr.. Fairbanks in California,
at which time Mr.. Fairbanks consented
not only to take up active leadership
of troop Of his own, but to develop
film Of this troop, showing the recre-
ational activities and character build
Ing and citizenship training Of the

Clothing for children should be of
the simplest kind. says the United
States Department Of Agriculture. 1t
should permit absolute freedom of
movement, hanging chiefly from the
shoulders, and permitting the child to
bend over freely. squat on the ground,
kick, run, climb, or otherwise indulge
In the activity natural to a growing
boy or girl. Rompers for very little
children, and bloomer dresses or sep
arate knickers and blouses for those a
little older are. as rule, the most
practical from the standpoint of the
child's comfort and appearance, and a
minimum amount Of laundering. Elab-
crate designs are unsuitable at any
time for active young children. Chill
dren should not be conscious of their
clothing either from a sense Of dis
comfort. or from vanity or embarrass-
ment. Washable materials are prefer
able for children's clothing, until they
are old enough to take some RESPONSE
bility for keeping their clothes clean.
Where extra warmth Is necessary,
washable wooden materials may be Sc
lected, such as serge, flannel. or
challis, but most mothers find that It
pays best to use wooden underwear
and cotton or linen dresses, with
sweaters and leggings for extra
warmth when the children go out. A
set of coyer-all aprons made on the
"kimono" pattern will be found very
practical for use when children are
playing in the house or yard either
after school or when they. are too lit

bibs for very little children can be
easily made and will lessen the num-
Der of garments to be washed.
