LOOKING FORWARD

by William Henry Huff for AMP
There must always be a look
ing forward
An expeetant looking forward
Call it forward or ahead
But that looking must be for a
something
Infinitely greater, nobIer
Than apparel, meat or bread,
L must be for something real
and fadeless
That will stand the changing
weather,
Season in and season out
Things unseen alone are pure
and lasting
Everything we see is fleeing
This truism none can doubt.

Roland Hayes Has
Desire I 0 Improve
His Technique

DAYT0N-As Roland Hayes, who
is to appear in the Memorial Hall,
May IL, stands on the stage, slight,
modest, and quiet-mannered, one
asks wherein he is SO extraordinary.
A great musician can be great
only ri the measure Of whit he
exacts from himself. An average
musician will at some point be satis-
fed with his tone and his phrasing
The musician who ii something
more viii never be satisfied. He
will always further beautify his
tone, polish and refine his phrase,
until his utterance is infinitely love-
", infinitely expressive. Then, If
the rarer emotions Of his art are
at his lips or fingertips, ready to be
expressed, he is without doubt
among the great.
Needless to say, musicians Of this
sort are few indeed. IF any singer
is to qualify by these standards, then
surely Roland Hayes must be named
His floating, ethereal tones, his utter
command Of delicate phrasing, are
the standing wonder Of America and
Europe. His particular way Of los
ing himself in the pathos Of spirit
ual--of re-living the mood Of a song
as il he and its composer were one
this is an ability which is entirely
his own.
Seats are priced at SIC, roc, s1.13,
$1.70 and 1926 and are on sale at
the Fifth Street YWCA and at Pet
tibone-McLean Book store, lii ~
Main Street. Many persons have
either bought or reserved their seats
for the concert.

DR.. McF all Gives
Interesting Talk
On tuberculosis
Bv BILL. DAVIDSON

DAYTON--Speaking to an IN
tensly interested gathering in the
east wing of the Fifth Street Branch
YMCA, Monday evening, DR.. Q. y.
McFall, prominent local physician
explained at length to his listeners
the primary causes, procedure of
treatment and modern ways of pre-
venting the dreaded common disease
tuberculosis.
The talk was one Of q series be-
ing sponsored by the YMCA, under
the direction of the physical educa-
tion department.
Briefly, DR.. McFall's talk which
was very enlightening and, should
have been heard by every Negro IN
the city, may be summed up as fol
lows:
He explained that "a the common
cold, (2) influenza and t3) pnen-
monia, are the three main factors
from which the disease develops,
and further remarked tai that It
is generally conceded that Negroes
are more susceptible to tuberculosis
than white people; tb) that TINS Is
due to the economic status Of rtie
Negro, explaining that he does the
hardest work, has less to eat tof
food yalue) thereby lowering his re-
sistence and making him more ike
liz to contract the disease; (c) that
doctors get most cases OF the DIS
ease when it is greatly developed
and almost impossible to do any
thing about it. He said, Nc one
today, need die Of tuberculosis, 4
treatment Is started early enough
Id That it is difficult to get suf-
fcient hospital facilities for Negroes
He cited cases where patients who
had white contact were given pref
erence over patients who were Just
as i'll, bit who did not have the adj
vantage Of this contact
(e) That the disease can settle
in any part Of the body usually the
weakest part, and il can Be caught
ii innumerable ways. such as dried
spittum, from milk, water and thru
the meat Of diseased animals; IL
that there are three types Of tn-
berculosis, III the acute of ordin-
ary type, {2) the chronic o. fiber-
Gus type (may hnger on for years.
(3) the galloping consumption which
usually claims It's victim in a few
weeks.
(g) That the three prime ways
to avoid tuberculosis ~ e. % avoid
the common cold o. get plenty Of
rest and t3) cal sufficient food
Again stressing the Importance of
avoiding the common cold and adj
vising his listeners to consult ply
sician at the first sign 81 i 'linger-
ing coldp the doctor finished his
talk, inviting members Of the au-
dience to ask questions relating To-
the discussion, ii which there were
many. Dr.. D. A. Gillim will speak
next Monday night on Dental lIy
giene.

at the Y presided at the meeting.

is the most notable interpreter that
we know Of the type of American
folklore, dominated by her in an as
torlishing manner. And she not only
possesses the most characteristic
style which has been in the singing
Of similar songs, but she does it
with sensitive voice full Of expires
siyc infections which captivate the
listener Immediately. We have spok-
en- already Of the light and charm
ing songs to which Eta Moten
knows how to give sharp meaning,
already in other pages Of the sweet
and sentimental tone, the admirable
singer always attains the exact pre-
else note which goes straight to the
heart Of the one who listens witt
consummate delight.
.aCarioca,' an original creation of
the great artist; selection from
Songs OF the Moon, The Slave Tin

which made up her interesting roper
toire, have been and will be given
before the microphone Of the LIS
Municipal Broadcas1ing Coy which
has exclusive rights to the notable
American singer, for she has been
contracted by this radio station
And another: Eta Moten, best
known among the new artists pre-
sented in Buenos Aires, is fine in
terpreter Of sentimental songs,
springing from the soul of her race.
She possesses sufficient native vocal
talent and above all a pure style to
release the songs with delicate
tones. -
Still another reported: "In the
Maipo theatre this week, the pre-
sentation has changed, and despite
the excellence Of the spectacle
which this hall of entertainment en-
joyed for the past four weeks, the
new vehicle is superior. The com
edy Of the well known Pope Arias is
more subtle, but the crowning per-
Torrance IS by Eta Moten, North
American Negro singer, whose rem
ditions Of all types Of songs from the
classic to the popular, and especial
" The songs Of her own people, win
salVos of applause
Music critics throughout South
America were unanimous in their
praise Of Miss Moten's superior per-
formances.
Many Dayton people realize the
unusual privilege they are being
given IN hearing Miss Moten sing
and are taking advantage Of it.
