V you need a good general educa-
" ton plus natural ability ana a
long period of training If you
are thinking of career as a
professional musician.
You will have to have your heart
and your soul in your art. II music Is
the greatest thing in your life, II you
love IL more than anything and If 1t
would be a great tragedy to you II you
couldn't be a singer, pianist, violin
ist, as your bent is, you have the quail
fications of incentive that, added TO real
talent, make for the true artist.
You must have the power OF judging
the quality of tone, the pitch, the
shading, purity and resonance OF voice
or instruments If you are to get artistic
results. In short, you need TO nave
the inherent power OF dlscrimlnatloh
and judgment. And, you are a
singer. you must have the natural voice.
That is born, not made.
Parents whose children are muSically
inclined should not wait until they are
is or 16 before starting them on syS-
tematic training Children are not
too young to begin at or z years OF
age If they have talent. 1t is in the
nine or ten years before a child reaches
16 that the most important part OF
musical foundation is laid.
Starting of Child.
You might start your child taking
piano lessons at g. for singer must
have command OF at least one inStru-
ment. The piano Is preferred, as 1t
will prove most useful in the pupils
singing. Such early training makes
music q source of natural expression,
and the youngster will show early
enough whether its aptitude Is for IN
Strumental or vocal music.
The greatest percentage OF those re-
manning mediocrities or failures as
professional singers, even when they
have good voices, can blame their lack
of early and proper training. You need
more than a lovely voice and good
vocalism to be real singer. Thorough
musicianship Is most essential. Likewise
your education and reading should be
broad. for you need every bit OF INTEL
ligence you can command.
Your selection of a teacher is OF
prime Importance, whether you are an
inStrumentaliSt or a vocalist. A COM
petent instructor, If you have talent,
can show you how to use it to best
advantage. But you must know what
is good and what is bad to get real
help from your teachers.
You can't be lazy or Indifferent If
you are a professional musician. You
must always strive to improve. Once
you are satisfied with yourself you have
stopped growing and have begun to slip
backward. Be your own most severe
critic at all times.
You will find many excellent con-
serVatories in this country and good
teachers in all the big cities. Be sure
you get an instructor able to help you
Otherwise you may spend a small for
time and have nothing tangible to show
for it. Your musical education will
cost from a few thousand dollars to
$4,000 for a complete training. The

the average earnings of an instrument
talist or vocalist, not of the first water,
will hardly exceed $4,000 or $4,000
year and oftentimes not reach such
sums. The stars" often get checks
running into five figures for single
performances.

in starting promising young musician
an instructor, known as able, will give
you a hearing that will likely interest

EXPLAINS WIFE HANDLING

LONDON (P.-Some 4O0-year-old
rules for handling wives will soon be
published in connection with q new
book on RabelaiS.
The rules were drawn up by Tira-
queau, friend of Rabelais, who had con-
siderable experience with wives.
First of all he sets forth the dicta
that woman is mans inferior"
Having established his premise Tira-
queau goes on to say, "she is not to be
struck or mistreated in any way"
THE wife is to be eductaed by ex-
ample and by caress mingled with sever
ity. She may be threatened when
necessary"

DETROIT SLAYER ESCAPES.
Gang Victim Is Fifteenth Killed Re-
Gently in City by Gunner.

Gang Victim Is Fifteenth Killed Re-
Gently in City by Gunner.
DETROIT, Mich, August 10 (P).-De-
troit's fifteenth recent gangster assas-
sination was recorded last night. The
victim was Cicero Mangiapani, sus-
pected of having been liquor operator.
He was shot five times by short, dark
man, who was riding beside him in
his automobile at Mack and Lakepointe
avenues in Crosse Pointe Park.
The assassin escaped as the car went
out of control and crashed into the
curb.
The police believe Mangiapani was
slain because he had violated the code
of some racket, but his particular ac-
tiyity has not been determined. They
also said that Mangiapani probably had
been expecting such an eventuality, this
belief being borne out by the discovery
of a loaded and cooked pistol on his
person.
Detectives looked to Brooklyn. N. Y,
today for an explanation OF Mang1ap-
ants activities. He is known to have
returned secretly from the East, keeping
the time of his arrival even from his
wife.
Mrs. Mangiapani told the police her
husband went to Brooklyn six weeks ago,
explaining that it was necessary for him
to hide because of threats against his
life.
It is believed that Mangiapani jumped
bond in Brooklyn last February after
his arrest for violating the immigration
law.
