The Guidite World
of Music
The Public Appearance
BY Miss Ethel Jones

The success of a public perfor-
nance depends upon more tpan be
ing able to play or sing & selec-
ton we'll. We must remember that
those attending a concert see as
we'll as hear. Therefore, good plat
form are very necessary
and increase the pleasure of the
audience. If a performer greets his
audience with a pleasing personal
ity, they respond encouragingly.
A natural spontaneous smile and
the announcing of ones selection
in a clear natural tone of choice at
once places an audience in a recep-
tive mood.
A short time ago, | attended a
program given by an amatuer mu-
sic and dramatic club. A middle
aged bass singer, with a conceited,
and a poker face and none too well
groomed, slowly Importantly made
his way TO the platform. He an
nounced his selection in the same
oonceited manner. AS l glanced
over the crowd during his rendition
the majority looked bored. Being
just an ordinary loud singer with
little or no training mis- singing re-
ceived but the average polite APP
plause.
At another tine a young lady
whose playing was no better than
the average little high school girl
won her audience completely. With
a bright smile and . pleasing
personality. she gave q lovely dis
cription Of the number she was
about to play, and the title and the
composer.
AS she finished play the au.
dience not only gave her plenty OF
applause but called her back fol-
an encore.
The cause for the different re-
ception is plainly evident. Sum
ming up then, the successful pu.
bic appearance is made up OF
three basic elements:
1. Confidence which comes from
much practice and through know.
ledge of the piece to be played. 2
A pleasing personality, and 3. Be.
ing able to put the audience in a
receptive mood.

1889 LIFE SAVERS
IN THIS STATE
Trained By Red Cross in Thir.
ty Delaware Towns Dur
ing the Summer
CLASSES IN SMYRNA

Pointing out that the growing
number of bathing pools and
beaches throughout the country
was ample proof that an army Of
trained life savers was needed,
Miss Laura Bell, chairman of the
Smyrna Red Cross Branch, reveal
ed yesterday that the American
Red Cross had trained 1921 per
sons in swimming and life saving
methods during the past year
THE Red Cross was the pioneering
organization in the movement for
accident prevention and general
safety in the United States" Miss
Bell said. 1T has also held a con
sistent lead in the promotion of
swimming and life saving classes,
thereby working toward making
our swimming beaches and the
thousands of bathing pools safe for
novice and expert as we'll"
This years group of swimmers
and life savers brought the total
number of persons trained by the
Red Cross since 1914 to 796, ,499,
she said, adding that the Req
Cross technique in life saving is
now the standard in America and
has been adopted in other nations
since those early days at the be
ginning of the World War
Miss Bell said that increased Co
operation on the part of other or
ganizations such as the Boy Scouts,
All Clubs, school groups, G. G. g.
and other government departments
or groups, and many private or
ganizations had resulted in further
spread of the water safety idea.
The national organization, she
pointed out, has been pleased at all
times to lend assistance to such
groups, and in many instances pro-
vided the instructors for complete
courses in the classes.
"Radiating from a dozen Red
Cross national schools conducted
annually is a powerful influence
which is stimulating hundreds Of
private and public summer camps
and schools, thousands of G. G. G.
camp boys and millions Of other in
dividuals who are taking to water
sports as the major part of the
summer recreation" Miss Bell said.
"When America went back to its
classrooms this Fall, the colleges
and universities, preparatory and
high schools which have pools un-
doubtedly felt the stimulating eff
feet of the high powered coaching
and guidance of more than 1900
teachers and adult students-those
who made up the faculties and
student bodies of the twelve ma
tional aquatic schools scattered
strategically throughout the Unit
ed States. We are seeing increas-
ing results from these schools each
year" This country, the chairman
concluded, is obviously becoming
more water safety minded" and a
greater measure of safety for
Young and old is being provided
wherever swimming is enjoyed.

GAIN IN INCOME TAX

Federal revenue paid by Della
ware the last fiscal year advanced
SO per cent to 500, ,084 1866, making
the State eighteenth in amount of
taxes paid. Last year the Dla-
mond State was twentieth, paying
S38, ,696 Sol. The increase for the
nation was 1922 per cent. Increas-
ed yields were attributed by the
federal treasury to continued inn
provement in business, changed
provisions and higher rates of tax
on individual and corporate in
comes and estates, and new levies
upon payrolls" provided in the so
ciaI security act. Collections for
the nation totaled 81, 4,653 1875, 900
June 80, an increase of 81, 1885,
600 over the previous year. Ma
tional income tax revenue gained
So per cent, accounting for $2,148,-
663, 900. Corporation income levy
increased AZ per cent, and that on
individual incomes 62 per cent
Officials said part of the gain from
individuals was due to the 1886
revenue act, imposing surtax on
undistributed corporate profits.
They said the tax acted to stimu
late dividend distribution, putting
more taxable income in security
holders hands, and that individuals
paid higher surtax rates on upper
brackets of incomes. New York
gave 21.24 per cent or $988, 100000
of all internal revenue collections.
Next were Illinois with $409, $685.
900, 8.81 per cent, and Pennsyl-
vania with $399, SIT 900, or 5.85 per
cent. South Dakota paid the small

RESEARCH ON MEAT FLAVOR
Shows What Gives Meat Its Flavor
Which Increases With Age

Meat f1avor-on the basis of 10
years study by the United States
Department Of Agriculture in CO.
operation with various State ex-
pertinent stations appears to re-
suit from salts, natural organic
acids, and from heating meat ex-
tractives in cooking. Meat ex-
tractives are mater-soluble nitrog-
en- compounds in the meat juice.
Ripening or aging meat increases
the extractives. Drippings from
which gravy is made contain meat
extractives and fats. Their guam
tity and quality depends on the
duration of heating and tempera-
ture. Then there are certain
f1avors characteristic of the an
imal in the fat of meats. These
appear when the fat is heated.
Fats also contribute body, richness,
or smoothness to meat juices or
gravies, qualities that make meat
more desirable. The age of the
animal influences meat flavor.
Flavor increases with age. For ex-
ample, baby beef as compared with
mature cattle, spring lamb in con-
trast to mutton. In its truest
sense, say the scientists, the sensa-
ton of meat flavor consists in the
stimuli given to the taste buds of
the tongue by the inherent sub
stances of which each kind of meat
is made up, modified by cooking,
aging, or both.
