GOOD ADVICE

Do not worry; eat three
square meals a day; say your
prayers; be courteous to your
creditors; keep your digestion
good; exercise; go slow and easy.
Maybe there are other things
that your special case requires
to make you happy, but, my
friend, these / reckon will give
you a good lift.

Tom Jones has gone to heavenly

He tried to drive without his
lights.
Jack Hayes this busy life for
sakes;
He never would refine his
brakes
Here's all that's left of Amos
Bossing;
He tried to beat it to the cross
ing.
No more for Brown are earthly
smiles;
He took the curve at forty miles.
Ted Small has gone to his abode;
He kept the middle of the road.
Here lies our friend, poor Tony
Dix;
For booze and gasoline wont mix
Jim Henry's friends are all be-
reft;
He made a short turn to the left.
Ben Gray is free from earthly
palms.;
A rainy day-he had no chains.
Poor Bill's beneath the sod, alas
He speeded up and tried to pass.
Now Tom has joined the heav-
emily band;
He tried to drive it, with one
hand.

| MINUTE PLEASE

Just pause long enough to think
How near do you come to max
ing use of your brain?
Us. Knox, an expert on sales
manship, claims that the aver
age business man uses but ID
percent of his brain power and
we believe this will hold good
right up and down the line.
/, Now look here, mechanics,
I laborers, farmers, business men
| and the rest, if we can keep from
starving by using only Is per
cent of our brain power, we
should be able to make little
money by working our think
tanks just little harder. Nine
teen hundred twenty four is
just getting a good start, things
are looking good, the year is yet
young, let's do some real think
ing, perhaps if we take ourselves
seriously and put a little extra
thought into our work this year,
we can each accomplish just al
little more than we will without
the extra thinking.
The Lord gave us brains. Lets
use them; that is what they are
for. The fellow who is really get
ting ahead is cashing in on his
brain power. He is thinking.
Thank You.
Gracious! That skirt is so
tight that can plainly see what

ADJUSTMENTS
Chaliapin Sings to. Vast Audience.

Feodor Chaliapin, the great basso
who typifies the Russian bear in
physique and has been called "the
greatest singer of his time" gave a
concert before an audience that taxed
the standing room as we'll as the
seating capacity of the National
Theater yesterday afternoon. The
great singers tones were lovely and
his artistic Interpretation of the dra-
matte values of his songs as we'll as
his genial, warm personality held this
huge audience almost spell-bound
until considera bly, after the tradi-
ttonal hour of six. When they finally
rose to grudgingly push their way
into the afsles, there were quite a
few who waved their hands to the
artist as he bowed again and again
to his admirers.
There is no need to attempt to
analyze Chaliapin's art. 1t Is inde-
scribable and definitely his. Each
note he sings, he makes his own.
If the hearer were where he could
not see Chaliapin or know who was
singing. he would recognize the tones
for they are given with as much in
dividuality of quality and treatment
as kreislerS violin notes or Pade-
rewskfs velvet piano tones.
Rarely does d Washington audience
show such deep-rootcd enthusiasm al
concert as was demonstrated yes
terday. BY the time Chaliapin had
reached those favorite encore num-
bers, "The Nolga Boat Song" and The
Flea" a veritabie roar tof applause
greeted his mere announcement or

"sevent-ee-seex" and "thirty-four."
Schumann's 'The Two Grenadiers"
was similarly received.
Chaliapin balanced his program
with fine discretion for dramatic con-
trasts. Deeply tragic songs of Nous
sorgsky and Rimsky-Korsakoff were
interspersed with such selections as
Mozart's pretty Lady" and Dargo-
mizhsky's comic song, "The Govern
ment Clerk" The quaint French
"Harem Song" the final encore, was
given added drollery by. Chaliapin's 8
own accompaniment. The singer con-
trolls every note of his accompanist
with expressive motions Of his sensi-
tive hands as well as he controls
each of his own well-placed head
tones and vibrant chest tones.
Feodor koenemann, at the piano,
gave Chaliapin intelligent co-opera-
tion under this unique control sys-
tenn, and also showed unusual touch
and feeling in his solo group Of
LISTS "Sonnette del Petrarca" and
Rubinstein's "Valse Caprice" with
the Schubert "Hark, Hark the
