Louise 10 q church and any concert
engagement that came along. Eighteen
months after her arrival In Paris she
made her debut at the Summer opera
In Vichy, the most fashionable water
ing place in central France, and this
was followed by a season In the ancient
city of Angers, one OF the best pro-
vincial operas Of France.
Henceforth 1t was smooth sailing
Madame Homer went from Angers tn
Brussels and from Brussels TO London
and from London to New York, and
everybody knows what she has done
since then: Americas great contralto
prima donna contralto OF the Metro
politan Opera House, one Of the most
beloved and most popular singers oi
her generation.
Then the public began to sit up and
take notice OF the lovely songs that
Sidney Homer was writing. First his
charming wife sang them at her re-
citals, then other singers began to put
them on their programs. and Mr.
Homer came TO be known as ore of the
finest writer's Of songs this or any
other country ever had.
Louise Homer Stires, daughter and
namesake OF the coritralto. has given a
new significance to the Homer name
She made her debut several years ago
with her distinguished mother, and her
appearance then aroused much interest
She proved TO be, as was to b. expected
a soprano OF real merit, charm and
personality and, above all, splendid
artist In her own right.
Since then the young soprano has
toured extensively. singing In joint con-
certs with Nine. Homer and giving nu-
merous recitals alone. Her work has
been delightful. rejecting natural re-
finement OF artistic instinct and un-
usual understanding OF musical values.
Her inherited gifts are easily under
stood and they have been guided by
parents whose careers have bsen long
and distinguished Studying always un-
der the inspiring influence OF her
mother. she has enjoyed advantages
withheld from most young singers.
Louise Homer Stires and her family
have their home outside OF Alexan-
dria, Va
Katherine Homer is the most recent
OF the musical tribe of Hofners to win
distinction. She is gifted pianist.

The Varsity Glide" Comes

M U SIC
BY HELEN FETTER.

| terpreting a well known master
work by the Interpretation given
it by the performer or performers.
And then comes, of course, the
musical ''Babbitt," who really
only knows what he likes in
music because, inversely, he likes
what he knows. Thus, a three
| fold function for warehouses"
Doubtless the most diScrimi-
mating audience, musically, is the
audience at chamber music
events. Lack of musical knowl-
edge, background, and, above all,
musical curiosity, makes only for
utter boredom for one attending
a chamber music program unless
it is performed by supreme art
ist or ensemble. There are
poseurs in chamber music audi
ences, as there exists this type OF
imitation folk everywhere, but the
musicians and sincere music low
erS do not let the poseurs bother
them very much; they ignore
them. v It Is in the extremely
smart" and so-called "cosmo-
politan" audiences that one finds
attending only the most Spectac-
ular or expensive musical pro-
grams that poSeurs, chiefly social
ones, become really annoying. II
they exist in any marked degree
in an audience the result is very
hard on the artist or artists, how
ever talented, for the applause Is
negative in enthusiasm and the
artist might as well be- perform
ing for a collection Of fish. Those
who do not applaud with intelli-
gence or enthusiasm usually add
the obstacle of CHEEKY, babbling
conversation on their own affairs
to the others in the way OF the
artist.
Club women generally and COL
lege audiences for the less famous
musical artists would be surprised
If they could hear some of the
opinions expressed about their re-
ceptivity to good music" 1t Is
sometimes difficult for one stand
ing on the Sidelines, as it were. to
understand Just why these pro-
fessionals or ambitious amateurs
on their TOURS before such audi
ences should have as low an opin-
ion as they generally do of the
capacity Of such gatherings. They
seem to consider them moronic--
to borrow one of Prof. Mason's pet
words-and they insist on play
ing sickeningly sweet little pieces,
and the big sopranos, especially,
will sing little ditties about
Spring is here" or, even worse.
cute" songs about children, be-
fore such audiences. In the main,
the college folk and club women
encourage such programs by be-.
ing too polite to walk out on
them.
After all, isn't this a leading
criticism that can be Justly made
about American audiences? Aren't
they too polite? If they would
hiss performers as they do in
Italy, or throw vegetables at
them as they do in Paris. or Just
get I'D and walk out, wouldn't
that do more to build up a re-
spect for their audiences In the.
minds of the performers than
anvthing else?
!. OF course, however. audiences
really must know what to walk
out on. That Is the work Of con-
structive musical appreciation
that can only rightly begin with
the littlest folks to establish a
truly discriminating audience for
music throughout the United
States a couple OF generations
from now.

of Four Causes.

prepared by the United States Department
OF Agricuitnrel
While milk producers are giving
considerable attention to preventing
losses due to sour milk, they too rare
ly recognize that other flavors and
odors also cause an annual loss prob
ably rs great as that from sour milk
Milk containing abnormal flavors and
odors is rejected by dealers and con
sumers.
Abnormal fiavors result mainly from
four causes. according to G. ]. Bah

ture. They may be due to the physi
cal condition of the cow. to highly
favored feeds and weeds, TO the alb
sorption of odors by the milk after IL
is drawn, or to biological changes in
the milk
If due to the condition of the COW
or to feeds the Objectionable flavors
and odors will be noticeable just after
milking and usually will not incre ase
with time. Those caused by ABSORB
tion develop only when the atmosphere
is permeated with pronounced odors.
whereas those due TO biological!
changes become more apparent after
some time has elapsed.
Feeds and weeds impart favors and
odors to milk mainly through the
body of the COW, although feed-taint-
ed barn air may have some effect
The time of feeding, therefore, is an
important factor to consider in pre-
venting undesirable flayors in the
milk, according to Babcock. In most
cases feeds do not flavor the milk ex-
cept for few hours, although some
feeds, such as cabbage, when CON
sumed in large quantities may still
be noticeable in milk drawn l. hours
after feeding For this reason he
says, highly favored feeds should be
fed Immediately after milking-never
Just before. When fed as short time
as one hour before milking, such
feeds as silage made from corn, al
falfa, sweet clover, or soy beans; and
such feeds as green alfalfa, cabbage
turnips, rape and kale seriously affect
the flavor and odor of milk. Green
rye, green cowpeas, potatoes, dried
beet pulp, and carrots affect the milk
only to a Slight degree, whereas green
corn, green oats and peas, green soy
beans, pumpkins and sugar bcets have
practically no effect on the flavor and
odor of milk.

WOMEN TAKE 10 ARMS

In this day Of organized and wide
spread crime the problem of protect
ing the home from the burglar and
the thug has become one of outstand-
ing magnitude. Almost daily the
world is mortified and startled by the
activities of homicidal maniacs and
degenerates who butcher women and
children. The newspapers also carry
countless reports Of less dramatic but
equally menacing happenings; sneak
thieves terrorizing women and robbing
them, burglars gaining admittance to
unprotected homes during the day,
when the men of the family are not
present.
To meet this need for home protec-
ton an ever-increasing number of
women are learning to handle and OPP
crate small arms. Portland, Ore, has
