Usually it is quite easy to select two

yesterday, some remembered loveliness

SO many other pleasing things about
Miss Pons' singing. But each of

offering. was a superb example of bel
canto, of dignity in execution and Of
deep feeling.
Joins Rank of Great Artists.
Miss Pons has definitely stepped
out of the role of vocal gymnast into
the select ranks of great artists who,
besides giving pleasure by the beauty
of their voices, also satisfy the artistic
requirements of perfect technique,
feeling for style and unquestionable
musicianship Frank La Forge. play

even vocal color and the unSatlSfac-
tory program numbers we're all absent
and in their place there was beautl-
fully controlled vocalism, artistic I'm
ash and songs worth listening to. In
the space of a year, Miss Pons has
learned to keep her vocal power within
its natural limits and has grown i'm
measurably in the fine points that
indicate great artist.
Two years ago Miss Pons was achiev-
ing her brilliant effects by sheer force
of energy A year ago her voice place
nent was unstable and her work was
uneven. Yesterday she sang with finely
balanced restraint, with exquisite pur-
ity of tone and great finesse in interpre-
tation. Such appreciable strides in ar
tistry, in so short period of time, is
not the successful accomplishment OF
any other singer who has become a
part of this city's musical season and
she is to be honored not only for her
great natural gifts but for the progress
she has made in their perfection.
Miss Pons' voice, from nature, is not
large, but it is unusual in its sweet
ness and range, all of which one could
appreciate yesterday. perhaps for the
first time, and certainly with per-
-sonal pleasure. The tones merged one
into the other throughout the entire
range with no disturbing change OF
quality, the limpid mellowness took on
no edge in the higher register and
the play between pianissimo and for
tissimo was accomplished without once
overstepping the natural boundaries
of vocal strength. The passages of
agility were not sharp and steellike as
formerly, but lyrically beautiful as
the roulades of bird, while legato
measures had rich substance even In
the lowest tessitura.
Program Well Selected.
AS it is impossible to speak of Miss
Pons' singing yesterday without COM
parison to her other appearances
here, so also it is with her choice of
program for yesterdays concert. Here

technical numbers which masked, to a

| assured her that she could, and
that once she had done it she would
never be troubled by fear of that par
ticular bully again. 1t didn't work out
exactly as l had predicted, but her
account of the affair was amusing.
81 drew the ammonia pistol from
the front of my dress" she said. "But
it stuck and got tangled somehow.
Mr.. F. jumped forward and grabbed
me. Something seemed to snap in my
brain. l became furiously angry. l
snatched the nearest thing l could lay
hands on, the fire tongs, and l struck
him over the head as hard as l could.
Do you know, that man actually fled
from my house!
"And," l suggested, "you haven't
been afraid of his coming back?"
81 haven't been afraid of anything
since that night" she assured me. She
had stopped running away from future
possibilities and had attacked present
danger.
Fear paralyzes. A seven-year-old
child recently ran into the path of a
numbering truck. The driver jammed
on his brakes and the heavy vehicle
slid forward slowly on locked wheels.
The poor kid had plenty of time -
several seconds - to jump either way
to safety. But he was desperately
afraid. He couldn't move. The truck
hit him, crushed foot, leg and hip.
There you see fear in its primitive,
primary essence. Fear the paralyzer
of human minds and bodies - the de-
stroyer of human life. For a dreadful
interval of waiting that seven-year-old
lived mentally in the future, his little
brain obsessed with shat sUas going to
happen. So it did happen.
Had he been able to fix his attention
on the present, he would have felt
anger at the threatening truck and
would have jumped frantically to
master his opponent.
He might have won, shrieking child
ish imprecations at the truck-driver.
But instead he slipped mentally into
the imaginary future and was held
helpless in dumb terror. To escape
future fear, fight present menace.

lear and rage are two sides Of the
H same page of life. Rage is an
emotional battle with something
that is attacking you right now. Fear
is a mental running away from present
danger to imaginary future security.
William James, father of modern
psychology, phrased a profound truth.
"You do not run away because you
are afraid" he said. "You are afraid
because you run away
Theodore Roosevelt, famous and be-
loved for welding big stick and for
charging up San Juan hill in the face
of a withering Spanish FIRE, started life
as puny boy who was afraid of every
thing. Going on his first vacation alone,
young Ted was tormented by couple
of lads bigger and stronger than him.

He tried to defend himself and received
a whipping. He determined then and
there to attack and not retreat.
He learned to box. He rode horses,
punched cows and ''beavered down"

T. R. drove fear completely from his
mind by forgetting the future and at
tacking the present. He proved William
James formula he stopped running
away and was no longer afraid.
A Ayoung and attractive woman came
to me the other day, quivering with
fear. "I-I've always been afraid of

Members of the board of educa-

Acousti-celotex has been used

pupils, according to Reede Gray,
superintendent of schools.
Pupils become excited and
