Fear Vessels Crews
Lost in Worst Storm
In 20 Years on Coast

Death toll from the worst storm
to sweep the Atlantic seaboard in
twenty years had risen to thirty-six
today. Estimates of property damage
from the Delaware capes to Halifax
were almost doubled as the work of
clearing away the mountains of
wreckage got under way. The num-
Der of injured runs into the hundreds,
although an exact total is impossible
to give until all tossed vessels
either arrive in port, or their bat
tered hulks are found at sea.
Although the storm has spent it's
fury along the coast, many ships still
are struggling in gale swept areas at
sea, while coast guards are patrolling
the shore for the bodies of sailors.
The body Of Warren V. Grace, master
Of the schooner Camilla May Page,
was washed ashore near Atlantic City.
and 1t was feared that the eight nem
befs Of his crew persisted with him.
Several men are believed to have
persisted when fishing smack cap
sized near Banegat Inlet, N. j., and
was found floating upside down by
coast guards. Other reports of
wrecks sighted and wreckage washed
ashore we're received from towns all
along the toast.

Hate Colossus"
Latin America has always regarded
with suspicion the steady encroach-
ment of North American domination
of the little countries to the south.
The press of Latin America is filled
with polemic against the Colossus of
the North" When the terms of the
proposed Panama treaty were an
nounced recently, the outburst of crit
icism in the Latin-Anerican press
went far beyond anything seen be-
fore.
The contamination OF Nicaraguan

qualities of a permanent institution;
and not from trained singers, but from

The club has over ESQ members, who

the university. These men sing for

Special Student Rates
for Metropolitan Opera

STUDENTS of Washington music
- schools and members of Washing
ton musical organizations will be
given the advantage of a special
students rate for all three perform
ances of the Metropolitan Grand Opera
Co. when that famous organization
makes it's first Washington appear
ance in Is years at the Auditorium,
April 22-23 according to an an
nouncement just made by Mrs.
wilson Greene. under whose man
agement the Metropolitan perform
ances will be given here.
Effective tomorrow morning, all
students and local musicians affili-
ated with recognized organizations
may avail themselves of special
students rate of $500 a seat, a re-
duction of 81 in the minimum price
to the general public. Such seats
must be obtained at the concert bu-
reau, 1900 G street. and will not be
sold at the Washington Auditorium
on the days of the performances.
The infrequency of the Metropoli-
tan's visits TO Washington and the
remarkable educational value of the
three performances to be given here
are given as reasons for the reduced
rate to those educationally interested
in music.

The Technique of Singing
BIZ MYRON w. WHITNEY
of the American Academy Teachers of sinrnE

ing has proved to me that, in order
| that the tongue shall neither become
| rigid nor close the throat, and in
| order, as is absolutely essential, that
it shall feel always keenly its part In
| pronunciation, it must at all times
overlap the lower teeth at the sides,
| and not sink down between them.
| This position entails a greater sinking
| of the lower jaw in order that there
may always be plenty of room be-
tween the tongue and the palate.
The vowel prism is somewhat as
| follows:
The dark novels "Aw," "oh, 90"
'Ah" and their notifications.
The neutral vowel "Uh."
The clear vowels "Ay," ZEE" and
their notifications.
The position of the tongue in form.
ing the dark vowels is low. resting
upon and overlooking the lower teeth
at the sides.
The neutral vowel, which is the only
vowel that we can use in humming,
and which is the standard vowel for
vocalization because it automatically
penetrates the passages from the
throat to the head, has less tongue
pronunciation than any other vowel.
Thus in pronouncing it, the tongue by
sheer relaxation rises a little higher
than its dark vowel position, but it
does not leave the lower teeth at the
sides. In using this vowel, we hum
while we sing and We must endeavor
to do the same thing in singing all
vowels. Tone might be described as
damp or dry according as it does or
does not include nasal resonance. The
tone which has the least nasal reso-
nance crackles like old parchment.
The clear vowels 'Ay'' and Ee' are
properly manufactured only by rails
ing the tongue so that it's sides are in
contact with the upper teeth.
The pronunciation of all vowels
should be reiterated on the beat OF
the measure. This renewal Of the
vowel should be accompanied by a
simultaneous renewal Of the breath
impulse-an increase in the rate or
the seeming inhalation rather than an
attempt to blow out the breath.
The point is, that the attempt to
accomplish any physical act by means
Of a perfectly even application Of
force, always results in the increasing
rigidity of the muscles employed, and
this rightly inevitably causes unsteadi-
ness and inflexibility. The rule for
human endeavor is Steady by jerks.
but the jerks must not be too vigor-
GUS
Every effort should be made to keep
the vowel mold open at the front.
The vowel, and indeed the tone,
should appear to the singer to be made
outside the front teeth and not within
the mouth.
The vowels may be likened 20
marbles and the clear vowels are
small marbles. They should be lightly
pressed against the upper front teeth
by the forward part of the tongue.
Clear, easy and accurate pronuncia-
ton is almost enough in itself to
insure correct placement.
