to see where a singers profession
should conflict with her domestic life.
She attributed her success to constant
study, and added the reason why her
voice had not failed was because she
had declined to sing soprano in her
youth. Study in small towns" was
the advice she had for young artists.
adding that teachers and scholars
were to be found there as readily as
in metropolises.
AT the singers request. no formal

Verinq Problems of An only Child

poor little thing. She is so lone
some"
Yes, and she will always be lone
some, unless somebody teaches her
a much-needed lesson. She needs
the sort of training that is max
ing a lovable, companionable girl
of wee Fay Minor.
1t is much easier to pamper an
only child, to indulge her whims
and cater to her moods than it is
to provide playmates for her and
then watch them while they play:
but it is a sorry method.
In a few short years that only
child will be one among many at
school or in other groups. Nobody
will care then whether she mas
any special attention or not. In
the estimation of her fellows she
will be on a level with the rank
and file Of children, If she has
learned to play fair: If she has
learned to give and take; If she is
neither timid nor domineering-in
short, if she knows how to play
with the team she is a fortunate
little girl.
The opinion and the approval OF
playmates means much to a child,
and it isn't fair to him or her to
cultivate traits during early child
hood that will mean loneliness and
heartache later on.

TN Cincinnati, where / was in
= strumental in organizing a
Smoke Abatement League, of
which I was president for several
years, we made an intensive study
of this question. We found that
it was more than a nuisance. 1t
was an economic waste. 1t was
worse than that-it was a posi-
tive menace to health-a view
that was then resisted by some
health officials. We, however,
acted upon what We claimed to
be a demonstrated fact that ex-
cessive smoke was a menace to
health, and proceeded to reduce
the smoke emission, something IN
excess Of 40 per cent. The cam
paign has since heen carried on
by the same organization to an
even higher success.
It is gratifying TO find through
the Paris correspondence Of the
Journal of the American Medical
Association, first, that the smoke
nuisance is not strictly an Ameri-
can problem and, next, that in
France as here, it presents itself
as health problem.
From this source we learn that
the question of the pollution of
the air of cities by the smoke
from factories and from private
coal stoves and furnaces is. be.
