later, she sang for a club of serious and high
born society ladies, and they congratulated
her she replied sveetly, Sure, Mike!" They
stiffened, froSe with displeaSure. Poor little
Hempel felt very bad.
But that was only the beginning. Fast as
she learned English she also learned that
there is a great deal more to being i'm
portant singer in the United States than mere
studying, and singing, and paying for what
she calls "a prima donnas running expenses"
She figured in number of lawsuits as the
years passed. AS she won her suits, her fame
grew Perhaps it was her increasing celebrity
which induced August Hecksher, millionaire
and philanthropist, to offer a very large yearly
salary to persuade Nine. Hempel to give up her
Nationwide concert work and to sing only
near New York. He wished this, madames
lawyers explained. so that he could always
have the high whistler" near enough to sum-
mon her to sing for his own pleasure and that
of his guests.
Nine. Hen,pel pondered awhile, as to
whether she should give up large concert cli-
entele to sing. almost entirely, at the Hecksher
chamber concerts. Finally, being plagued with
so many crankS she agreed to do it.
The arrangement went for some time.
Then Mr. Hecksher left for Europe and the
salary agreed upon stopped. After reasonable
negotiations and waiting Nine. Hempel filed
suit for a broken agreement. But such deluge
of cranks mischief makers, critics and perse-
cutors did this stimulate anew that Nine.
Hempel quickly instructed her lawyer to dis
continue all action. 1t seemed to her far
better to give up her fees far better to have
lost profitable concert season than to carry
the thing through.
THERE was a divorce suit In the prima
donnas life, too. Several years ago she
got Paris decree ending her marriage to w.
B. Kahn.
Then. little more than a year ago, there
another unpleasant tangle when her sister,
Mrs. Helene Schaper of New York sued her
for the recovery of jewelry valued at $4,000.
Nine. Hempel explained that the jewery had
changed hands as security for loan she had
made her sister, and her lawyer pointed out
that Mrs. Schaper was represented by the
same lawyer who had represented Adler in his
lawsuit.
Some people," she explains. think all

Gasoline Tank "Breathing"
Is Costly

A GASOLINE storage tank only takes enc
breath" q day but when it exhales a lot
of good dollars go out into the atmosphere to be
lost forever. The annual loss through this
breathing is considerable, in fact serious enough
to have the Bureau of Mines undertake an in
veStigation to determine ways and means of
curtailing the loss.
The breathing is caused by purely physical
reactions. When the temperature in the storage
tanks rises the pressure increases, with q re-
sultant escape of some of the gas vapor over
the liquid in the tank Then when the pressure
lessons as the tank cools at night it may fall
below atmospheric pressure. which brings a
leakage of air into the tank a more rapid
increase of evaporation within the tank. This
continues daily with the loss assuming serious
proportions
In order to correct the evils of the pressure
increase various remedies have been attempted.
The two most successful have been the con-
Struction Of vapor-tight tanks and the painting
of tanks with lighter colols.
The vapor-tight tanks are equipped with a
one-way relief valve which permits the escape
of gas before the pressure within the tank be-
comes dangerous and halts the intake of air
when the tank coos. The use Of light-colored
paints. Of course, brings about a lowering of
the previous high temperature through the ne

that she prayed her suits were finished
for while, and that she would have leisure
for AN enchanting vacation" In the little
village of Sis Maria, up In the Engadine.
This mention Of happy Summers she had
already spent in the Swiss village brought
memories of madame's first Summer in the
United States. Nine. Hempel just 20 stepped
OF the steamer fresh from unusual triumphs
in Europe.
Kaiser Wilhelm-then on his throne-had
called her his high whistler and presented
her with diamond brooch. The King of the
Belgians had made his way backstage after a
gala performance. and had brought as a gift
diamond bracelet. The young lady had been
petted and feted. She had worked hard to
succeed had known childhood, because of
her music, and now, Europe at her feet, had
set sail for America.
A T the boat dashing American press agent
met her He spoke German. Madame
spoke no English then.
when anybody says something you do not
understand" he told her, Just answer-'Sure,
Mike! That will get you anywhere

we win become rich beyond the dreams OF
avarice 1t will only cost you half a million"
only half million" exclaimed Nine.
Hempel, but where will We find half nail
hon?"
4 AME HEMPEL believes that vicious as It
WI is to bring suit lightly against anybody.
it is perhaps little more vicious to bring such
. suit against an artistic. For there is the
artistic temperament TO be reckoned with.
We suffer" she says, more from one hard
word than well-balanced people suffer from =
paragraph Of hard words. do believe, again,
that joys are also deeper and higher I
am sure little yellow flower growing wild by
the roadside brings more Of joy and beauty to
an artistic than whole conservatory full Of
flowers sometimes bring to what we might
call better balanced people
1T is, know, unreasonable and absurd for
artiSteS to be like this. But this, again, Is why
they are artistes. We love our public. We love
all the people, many of them unknown to
U.s. who send kind words and notes andre
quests for photographs
We owe them a debt-and that is the debt
OF responsibility to shield lives, TO keep out
all unnecessary shock that we may sing our
best for all our friends. And-certainly-th
cranks that hem our ways do not help Us TO
fend of shocks
Suits, requests for money statesmen with I'M
possible wares. inventors with wild inventions
Nine. Hempel would like to bundle all up
together and exchange for q world where flow
erS music and dogs-"my three passions
fill singers life. And this done, there is one
thing more she could wish to make life per-
feet. She wishes it possible for her to
take out some crank insurance.!

now on be, What was your largest fsh?" and
not How many did you catch?". Return the
smaller fish to the water and be sure to wet
your hands before touching them. If this is
done in few years everybody will return home
with fair catch. Today people complain that
they have had no luck; that the fish either
not around or were not biting.
Here are few of the best fishing localities
and facilities on Chesapeake Bay centering
about settlements and towns Starting from
the mouth of the bay. the angler will find
Ocean View, Va. located just below the mouth
of the James River. Old Point Comfort, Va.
is we'll situated for reaching number of good
fishing grounds in the lower Bay Newport
News, Va.-thS city on the James River offers
some angling at various points in Hampton
Roads York Spit Light, Va. is located at the
mouth of the York River, and is one of the
best angling spots for bluefish in the bay, but
is somewhat too isolated to provide popular
fishing Point Lookout and Scotland Beach,
Md.-these resorts are at the mouth OF the
Potomac River and the bay and offer good
fishing. Solomons Island, Md, is located at
the mouth of the Patuxent River, where good
angling may usually be enjoyed during the
fishing season. Farther up the bay on the
west shore are to be found Plum Point, Chesa-
peake Beach, Annapolis and the many little
bays and rivers On the Eastern Shore the
anglers will find Claiborne, st. Michaels, Thigh
mans, the Big Choptank River, oxford, near
the mouth of the Choptank; Cambridge, To-
Gated on the Choptank River, Crisfeld and other
smaller places Crisfeld is the well known sea
food center on the Eastern Shore of Maryland
and offers access to the fishing grounds located
in Tanger and Pocomoke Sounds. On the
ocean side Ocean City, Md, Chincoteague. Va,
and Wachapreague, Va. offer wonderful
fishing.
Chesapeake Bay and it's tributaries offer the
angler plenty of good fishing grounds. Its
aquatic resources, fishing, grabbing and hunt
ing are of the best to be found anywhere.
Water sports of all kinds add to the fascina-
ton of this region, and when the crisp air OF
early Autumn draws the sportsmen for wild
fowl shooting. pleasant evenings are spent
sitting around a large open fire, roasting oys-
tiers and listening to some old water guide relate
his years of experience battling with the ee-
ments and the big fish, and telling of the big
"fellers' that were lost
