CHILDREN'S MUSIC IS GOOD MEDIUM

Strangely enough there are few finer ways of learning right word patterns, pleasant pitch, rhythm and tonal moderation than from listening to records for children, :" the voice expert continues. Children are highly critical which sound pleasing.
 Try to talk and sing along with the records for children. Initiate the natural tones of the speakers. You may feel foolish at first, but sur- prising number of famous speakers have gone through just such pro- cedure to attain beautiful voice tones and careful diction"

 s'It is the wise woman who makes a real effort to preserve the youthful lilt in her voice. so that her tones won't betray her when she is older" says Friedrich Schofr. Metropolitan Opera star and celebrated voice coach.
 "She can't begin too young MT. Schorr continues. "For voices age out of ali proportion to actual years, and often a girl of twenty will sound like a woman of forty"
 MT. Schorr goes on to explain that since a good speaking voice de- pends on many things = proper breathing, rhythm, pitch, vocal pef- sonality and so orl--it is important for every woman to learn to breathe properly and to keep her jaw re- faxed.
 "Your breathing should be deep," Friedrich Schorr goes on. Tt should utilize all the equipment of the breathing mechanism. But 1t can't do this if posture is faulty. To cor rect bad posture and free the breath ing organs, I have my pupils spend 20 minutes day--10 at night, and 10 in the morning walking hare- footed on tiptoe, balancing an ilnag- mary bubble on their heads. To keep the make-believe bubbles from fall- ing, my pupils have to learn to hold their heads high, their shoulders back, stomachs in and backbones straight"
 MT. Schorr. thinks that listening to music, and not only singing but talking in time with it, will give one a feeling of rhythm and proper pac- ing in speech.

synthetic rubber-like materials are
satisfactory for these applications.
At present, neoprene is not being
used in commercial production of
pneumatic tires. Experimental neo-
prene tires have been made, and
this material will be of consider
able benefit for some parts of the
modern tire.
For other automobile uses, how
ever. neoprene has replaced natural
its resistance to grease and oils,
neoprene is suitable for about 60
uses in modern motor cars. Among
the most important are the blocks
on which motors are mounted to
minimize chassis vibration. Natural
rubber for this purpose deteriorates
rapidly because of contact with
grease and oils.
By utilizing neoprene's unique
properties engineers have reduced
manufacturing costs and improved
operating efficiency in the petro-
leum, refrigeration, airplane, rail-
road, marine construction, machine
tool and electrical industries.
Neoprene also is of interest to
American women. 1t has entered
the home in the form of many
household articles. Included are
gloves, soap dishes, dish scrapers,
sink mats and sink strainers. Use
of these articles is increasing, as
they do not become soft and gum
my on contact with greasy water
and vegetable oils. Crib sheeting Is
also available.
Garments of neoprene, and shoes
with neoprene soles are being used
by workers in oil refineries, gaso-
line service stations, and garages.
These articles also are worn by
workers in chemical plants, smelt-
ers, steel mills and other plants

THE KICKING
STATE SENATOR

The case of Mr.. r. R. Kline
against State Senator Donohoe, for
kicking negro woman, while she
was walking quietly along one of
the public streets of Wilmington,
was formally settled in the munic-
ipal court Friday by the withdraw
al of the charge by Mr.. Kline and
the payment of the costs by Mr..
Donohoe. There is no doubt, we
believe, that Mr. Kline was paid to
withdraw the charge That is to
say Mr.. Donohoe was practically
fined for his violation of the peace
and of common decency. We have
heard the amount of this fine stat

course Department of Communica-

course, Department of Communica-
tions, requires six months of in
struction, as does the airplane me-
chanics course-which is under the
Jurisdiction of the Department of
Mechanics. However, the special
lists courses with the exception of
the Link-Trainer course, are of
four weeks duration; the latter, 6
weeks. To become eligible for the
carburetor, propeller, electrical and
instrument specialists course, the
applicant must be a graduate of
the airplane mechanics course; and
the Link-Trainer course is avail
able to selected graduates of the
rdio repairers-operators course.
Which course is desired mostly
by the applicants? A study of the
situation shows that eighty to
ninety-percent of the men request
the airplane mechanics course. All
men cannot become mechanics
since a favorable balance must be
maintained for the proper function
ing of the School as well as full
fill the requirements of the tactical
units of the Army Air Corps. For
these basic reasons, all applicants
prior to their assignment to one
of the courses must appear before
the trade test department of the
ACTS for examination. The tests
are to determine three things: (a)
Can the applicant successfully fin
ish the course in the limited time
allowed? (b) In which course
shall he be entered? (c) Will he
graduate and secure
his diploma? Applicants for en-
listment in the Army Air Corps
Technical School have been of un-
high calibre, as only four
percent of all men applying for en-
listment at Chanute Field have
been rejected for failure to meet
the Trade Tests requirements.
To the Air Corps itself, this pro
gram means a method of securing
qualified specialists so vital to the
upkeep of their aircraft.
To Civil Aviation, although the re-
suits may not be noticeable immed-
lately, it will provide an influx of
skilled workers when and if these
men leave the Service and seek
within the industy.

BUENOS AIRES, June 26-RH
Nazi agents already are trying to
negotiate gigantic barter deals in
the rich South American field, par
ticularly in Argentina, a well-in-
formed source said today.
Their aim, this source said, is
to strengthen Germany further by
cutting off Argentina and Uruguay
and other South American nations
from close economic and military
cooperation with the United
States.
They are reported seeking mill
lions of pesos worth of Argentine
foods and raw products, payment
for which would be made through
German identification of railways
and the construction of hydro-elec-
trio plants to offset diminishing coal
and and oil supplies.
The German agents are suppos-

inquire into availability of Ship

to Germany.
