mission was bad and her appeal for
help never arrived. She had hoped
to continue her studies In England,
but she decided she would have to go
to work.
In her extremity she wrote to Sir
Henry Wood, the best conductor in
England, telling him she was a Japa-
nese girl who wanted to study, and
would he please hear her.
No reply. A month passed. She
wrote again. Her broken English ap-
parently made no impression. She
wrote third time, on this occasion re-
citing the fact that she had been the
best pupil In the Japanese Academy
of Connaught visited Japan, she had
sung for him at court. This brought
her hearing before Sir Henry.
Lady Randolph Churchill, mother of
Winston Churchill. was present.
Tamaki Miura sang the caro- Nome
from "Rigoletto" and two Japanese
songs.
why, you have beautiful voice!'
Lady Churchill declared. THE high
notes remind me of Melba's''
This praise was backed up by an in.
vitation to Tamaki to take part in
big patriotic concert at Albert Hall the
following month.
"Adelina Patti is to sing, too" she
was told.
She had never heard any of the
great singers, and she did not fear
appearing on the same stage with
Patti, who then was in her 74th year.
But when she came to immense Al.
bert Hall, with vast audience before
her, and found the beautiful Patti
looking like a woman of IS, she began
to have doubts.
Nevertheless she sang-and with all
the courage she had. She never had
sung so well, she felt. as she ended.
1t was the Caro- Nome" once more,
and it brought her IL tremendous ova-
ton.

INCE Japan assumed the dignity
of q world power she has pre-
scented Z long list of famous
~ soldiers and statesmen. But
none Of them Is SO celebrated
as z tiny doll of a woman known
to lovers of music everywhere as
Tamaki Miura.
If she had been the child Of poor
people she might never have had her
gift recognized. But her father was
u we'll to do man. she had an uncle
who was a millionaire. and her fam
ify generally moved in exclusive So
cial circles.
This explains how when Tamaki
Miura was Il years of age she was
present at a charity concert given by
Nine. Laudon. wife Of the Dutch am
bassador to Japan in Toxic. Nine.
Laudon had a lovely mezzo- soprano
voice. When little Tamaki Miura
heard her sing an lave Maria she
was moved to tears.
Singing gave her so much JOY she
decided that she would go to this
woman with the lovely voice to ask
.tbout her own voice. She felt sure
she would be received sympathetic
cally.
Madame" she said. after she had
expressed her admiration. Il have a
favor to ask-that you Will hear me
sing"
The kindly Dutchwoman invited
the girl to come to her residence. She
expressed surprise after hearing one
simple little song.
That's very NICE" she said.
She was sufficiently interested to
make further tests. She sang scales,
then snatches of songs and various
movements from operas, bidding Ta-
MAXI Miura to initiate her. And the
Httlo Japanese girl did everything that
he older. trained ginger did.
Suddenly Nine. Laudop threw her
gsxmS about tho child ..---.-
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1926-02-07

''My dear" she exclaimed. you have
a beautiful, a wonderful voice! You
would be good in opera"
Now began an episode which IS one
of the most remarkable in the history
of music. The wife of an ambassa-
dor turned teacher in order that this
Japanese maiden might have adequate
instruction. Tamaki Miura went to
the ambassadorial mansion every day
and Nine. Laudon spent hours teach
ing her.
The foundation of the japanese
Academy Of Music, with the importa-
ton of European teachers, had en-
larged the range of possible study in
music. In time Tamaki Miura entered
the academy, where, under the in
struction of a German, Prof. Yunker,
she soon became noted as the best
pupil. This was tantamount to being
recognized as the first singer of Japan,
and, indeed, the fame Of the girl soon
was spread far and wide.
Quite naturally. Prof. Yunker adj
viSed her to continue her studies in
Germany. She now had ambiIlons to
become an operate singer, but her
conservative family objected. More
over the $4,000 needed for the sojourn
in Germany would dent the exchequer
rather seriously.
The millionaire uncle was a progress
sive man, In sympathy with the tenets
of the new Japan. He solved the stu
alton for Tamaki Miura by supplying
the needed $4,000 and she went to
Germany for study with the cele.
brated Lii Lehman.
This was In 1914. She had scarcely
arrived when the World War broke
out Japan took sides against Ger
many, and, as a subject of Toxic, she
departed from the alien country. But
the German government held most of
the funds she had In the bank, and
when she arrived in England, the
nearest ally of the japanese, she had
only about $500.
She cah1ed h0mes Wartime trans

handed sons of toll is the effect the
new movement is expected to have
on the labor market in Washington.
And 1t should be said at the outset
that the school contracts and will man
fully try to carry out its contract to
place every graduate in a paying job
when his two-year course is completed.
THE boys of Washington are here
given a real opportunity to find them
selves" Mr.. Smith continues. I'VE
feel that the boy who comes here, tries
out our various courses and finds
something for which he is fitted, men
tally and physically, will make a bet
ter workman. Even better, we believe
he will make a better citizen. for our
courses are aimed at elimination of
misfits from Jobs which do not suit
them We feel also that happy en-
ployment Is the real basis of good
citizenship, and that the man who is
happy In his job will think a long
time before embracing the tenets OF
any of the 'isms' that are going
around"
Proceeding on this premise, Mr..
Smith and q group of earnest men
and two women-have taken firm
hold of this new educational problem
in Washington. outlined an efficient
system of teaching and propose to
turn out scores of printers, plumbers,
carpenters, tinsmiths, craftsmen and
painters into the shops Of the city.

greater knowledge than the young

lions simply for something to do.
For the lad who enters the Abbott
School does not have to take any

he has satisfied himself he will like
it and that 1t will suit him in his
more mature years. When he enters
he spends the entire first semester,
if he wants to, going from class to
clasS-six weeks at q time in each
class-until he finds the sphere in
which he believes he Is best fitted.
Frequently he doesn't need all this
period of casting about, but gravi-
tates into his proper groove after one
or two class attempts. But few of
the youngsters have taken full advan-
tage of this opportunity of learning
smattering of all trades before settling
down to an intensive study of one.

Moral Herein Is "Do
Your OUn LOUe Making"

It is one of the strange ~inconsist-
encies of human nature that, while
some men would walk up to the guns
Of an enemy without a tremor, they
find a terrible inclination to turn tail
and fly when they are called on to
face the battery of a pair of sweet
eyes and ask a simple question to
which they have reason to expect q
gratifying answer.
This is why SO many thousands OF
lovers seek courage in pen and ink
and distance, and make the postman
the innocent ambassador of their de-
sires: but it is scarcely conceivable
that a man Who has this resource
open to him should choose the alter
native of getting a yalorous n
obliging friend to propose for him.
That there is a decided element of
danger in a proposal by proxy was
proved by the evidence given in a re-
cent breach of promise case.
The defendant sought to excuse
himself by declaring that his proposal
was no a serious one. It appeared
that an intimate friend was deeply In
love with the fair plaintiff, but could
not nerve himself to put his fate to
the test. The defendant had volun-
teered, "just as a joke" to take his
place and make the best of his eli
ent's case. Unhappily be carried the
joke too far for, instead of laying
his friends heart at the lady's feet,
he laid his own, and, to his amaze
ment, was accepted.
1t proved an expensive jest, how
ever, for 1t cost him $500 to olsen
aangfe himself from its consequences I;
and no doubt If ever again invited to
plead a friends lovesuit, he will be
Justified in ~retOrting, do it your
self"
In another case, where a defendant
sought to excuse himself on the
ground that a friend had proposed for
him without his full consent, the en-
wagement, which had been weakly
confirmed by subsequent letters and
presents, was pronounced binding;
end when a verdict for $1,000 was
awarded to the plaintiff, the judge
humorously suggested that "as he had
wOoed by proxy he might e his way.
20 pay by proxy" which, alas Is quite
another thing.

OWNING ROD BATTLING
Art Of Finding Hidden Water BY Use
of Forked stick Centuries Old

Art Of Finding Hidden Water BY Use
Of Forked stick Centuries Old
Some of the most noted scientists
have been endeayoring yainiy to solve
the mystery of the divining rod The
so-called rod is usually a tWig, held in
the hand and supposed by its bending
downward to indicate spots where
metal deposits or water may be found.
Although few of the men Of science
have credited the rod with power, and
books speak of it as a species of witch
craft which cannot be relied upon, the
fact remains that 1t Is often used with
success, A French scientist recently
attempted to prove the divining rod a
fraud was SO convinced Of his mistake,
after a demonstration, that he is now
using one i n al effort to find minerals
in the ground.
IN nearly every community there are
rlcn who claim to possess special pow
ers and gifts in locating underground
veins OF water. Those men are called
water witehesR an0 they work with
various devices. Some Of them are
well diggers by profession; they under
take first to locate the s~ubterranean
dow Of water by a divining rod and
then sink the well for SO much per
foot if water is found, and no pay If
1t is a dry hole, There are many
skeptical persons who aver that 1t ia
all guess work with these water
witches; that a hole dug forty or
sixty feet into the earth anywhere will
strike a water flow eight times In ten,
and that a welldigger who guaranteed
water or no pay would make money
at it even If he fai ed twice IN ten
times to strike water.
Whether or not there is any virtue
in a forked prong of witch hazel or
peach tree to locate a s~ubterranean
water vein will probably be a question
always. The art, OF whatever it is,
Of diyining hidden water by a witch
hazel prong has come down from ages
long past It is agreed by all who put
faith in diyining rods that they win
work only IN the hands OF certain per-
sons. A natural born water witch"
can take out his knife, snip off a crotch
from the limb Of a handy peach tree,
hold a limb in each hand, with the
prong sticking up. and walk across a
field, and the moment he steps over
the elm of water down under the
ground. the prong VIII dip and point
straight down

Cheaper Fuel From Dust

If you pump cornstarch with air
into an inclosed tube and ignite the
mixture with an electric spark, it will
explode. Recent government expert
ments have shown In dust great ex-
plcsive energy going to waste. It Ia
this that is utilized In a new fuel an
nounced recently, says Popular Sci
ence Monthly.
Fuel made from dust or scourings,
not only will make use Of waste ma
ter4al, but win reduce a big fire haz-
ard in manufacturing plants. explains
W. A. Noel, an engineer of the United
States bureau Of chemistry. It would
solve the problem Of cheap fuel for
factories, he adds, for 1t may be used
In steam or gas engines. Wood, metal,
leather, chemicals, cork, rubber, sugar,
grain, cocoa and cinnamon are but a
few Of hundreds of products from
which the innammable dust may be
obtained.

for the saloon. But just as they were
entering the door a hand was laid on
his arm and, looking up, he saw Presi-
dent Lincoln from his great height re-
garding him with kindly eyes and
pleasant smile. He said: Il almost
dropped with surprise and bashful-
ness, but he held out his hand and, as
I took It. he shook hands in strong
western fashion and said I don't like
to see our uniform going into these
places That was all he said. He

and we passed on. We would not have
