 General FavCrite
 When tie training of Mime. let razzini's voice began it was a deep contralto. It soon began to extend upward, however, and eventually she was able to sing F in alt in such operas as "The Magic Flute and La Sonnambula. At the height of her career her voice was coloratura soprano of exception al power, clarity and beauty. Com bined with her ability as an ac- tress it made her a general favor ite with opera audiences wherever she appeared.
 Mime Tetrazzini's repertory in cluded nearly 40 operas and had been identified generally with that of Patti. In 1912 she was awarded the gold medal of the Royal Phil harmonic Society of London.
 Early in her career Mime. Tetraz- zini was married to J. G. Bazelli. The famous singer was given world wide notice when she became a bride for the second time in Oc- tober, 1926. On that occasion she was married to Pietro Vernati, 20 years her junior, and the tenant of her home in Rome. Three years later the singer obtained legal separation in a Rome court on a plea of incompatability.

ALLIED RESISTANCE

STOCKHOLM, April 29.-A strong Allied resistance is apparently devel- oping as the Nazi blow at the strat- egic Norwegian Railway is threat ened to isolate the Allied troops in Central Norway.
 Reports received here said the Germans are now facing the problem of breaking through the supposedly strong machine gur~ and light ar- tillery line the Allies have drawn across the rocky Gudbransdalen and Glomma River valleys.
 Whether the Germans will again be able to climb around the defense positions as they did last week by sending columns over the snowy mountain passes depends upon the ability of the Allies to cope with the Nazi air power.
 Allies Are Alive
 Reports of Allied concentrations are regarded here however as evil dence the Allies are alive to the sit- uation.
 DNB broadcast picked up here from the Berlin station says the Nazis have captured 10000 artillery shells and many portable wireless sets as well as other war material.
 Successful Raids
 The Germans, according to the DNB broadcast, have made many successful raids both on land and sea. Troop trains are reported to have been bombed from the air and several railroad centers have been air raided with disastrous results to our enemies, French, British and Norwegians."
 Fighting on small scale took place Sunday on the railroad leading into the Trondheim section.

(AP)-How European investi-
gators were fooled by the mag
ic of the Yoruba Diviners or
advisers of Nigeria, Africa, was
told to the American Associa-
tion for the Advancement of
Science today.
DR.. william r. Bascom, an
thropologist of Northwestern
university, spent IL months to
catch the point. The Nigerian
client goes to the diviner with
a personal problem the nature
of which he carefully conceals
from the magic man.
The fact that the magician
also does not try to find out
what this problem may be,
DR.. Bascom aid, is what fool
ed investigators. The diviner
makes up some verses and re-
cites them to the client. The
verses are designed to answer
many different personal trou-
bles.
The client chooses the one
he thinks fits his secret, and,
humans being much the same
everywhere, likely as not the
answer does fit.

Christian Science Is
Topic Of Lesson-Sermon

Christian Science" was the sub.
ject of the lesson-sermon in all
Christian Science churches and so.
cieties yesterday.
The Golden Text was from Mat.
thew 1888. 'The kingdom of heav.
en- is like unto leaven, which g
woman took, and hid IN three
measures of meal, till the whole
was leavened." !.
Among the citations which com.
prised the lesson-sermon were the
following from the Bible: 20 thou
afflicted, tossed with tempest, and
not comforted, behold, I will lay
thy stones with fair colours, and
lay thy foundations with sapphires.
And all thy children shall be taught
of the Lord; and great shall be
the peace of thy children. This is
the heritage of the servants of the
Lord, and their righteousness is
of me, saith the Lord" (Isaiah
SAIL, 13, II beginning at period.
The lesson-sermon also include
the following passages from the
Christian Science textbook, Science
and Health with Key to the Scrip.
lures by Mary Baker Eddy: In
the year 1866, I discovered tn
Christ Science or divine laws OF
Life, Truth, and Love, and named
my discovery Christian Science.
For three years after my discov.
cry, l sought the solution of this
problem of Mind-healing, searched
Scriptures and read little else,
kept aloof from society, and de.
voted time and energies to discov.
ering a positive rule. The search
was sweet, calm, and bouyant with
hope, not selfish nor depressing.
l knew the principle of all har.
monious Mind-action to be God,
and that cures were produced in
primitive Christian healing by holy
uplifting faith; but I must know
the Science of this healing, and ]
won my way to absolute conclu.
sions through divine revelation,
reason, n d demonstration.
