 It is generally agreed that your natural voice is your best voice. Turning on a simpering, whining tone in order to get your own way is giving your natural, non-whining voice bad break. Afiowing your jaw and throat to become so tense that your voice tones become nasal is another serious mistake.
 It is all important, of course, that tongue, jaw and throat be perfectly relaxed. When you are not talking, try to remember to keep your ton- que on the floor of your mouth i1- stead of hard against the roof. Tip of tongue should be held against lower teeth-not upper ones.
 To relax your jaw when you are tired and nervous or when you suspect that your voice is hard and nasal, open mouth wide once or twice. Yawning opens the throat, relaxes tongue and jaw and there fore eliminates nasal tones.
 LISTEN AND
 RELAX
 The finest voice and speech teachers agree that mastering the art of listening is the first step to- ward acquiring a fine speaking voice.
 A great voice teacher has said; "The ear is three-quarters the teacher" And other experts explain this by pointing out that listening sympathetically and interestedly first relaxes the body and, secondly, gives one direct concentration on what he is about to say. :.
 Therefore, an utterly relaxed person who is honestly concen- trating possesses three great as7 sets of beautiful speech: CD clar- ity of tone and enunciation;@ (2l vividness of expression because speech on the subject is to the point; (3) ability to concentrate on the idea instead of on the ila- pression being made while talking.

EXPERTS WOULD HELP OTHERS

There is an idea in that wv course for womens clubs all over the country. If they want to do some real good, let them help the young to be useful in world that makes being useful pretty difficult for those who have no special training and no particular talents.
 Nursery attendant is just one job. But any group of women who put their heads together ought to be able to think of a number of other jobs that people would pay to have done, if they knew where to find a person capable of taking over.
 Finding teachers for the courses wouldn't be difficult. Almost any teacher or expert would give few hours week of his time for any, thing so worthwhile.

SYMPTOMATIC RELIEF FOR
 COUGH AND CATARRH

Perhaps some doctors still pre- scribe a saline laxative for patients coming down with cri-any of the common respiratory infectionS-Who knows at that stage what it will prove to be?
 Just between ourselves, and don't let it go any further, that prelirn- mary purge, in my opinion, is based on these fundamental prin- ciples:
 1. It has always been done, and hence always should be done. We must preserve the traditions.
 2. It impresses the patient that the doctor is doing something for him. Just what have never been able to ascertain.
 3. 1t occupies the patients mind sufficiently to keep him from won dering what really ailS him anyway and from asking the doctor en- barrassing questions.
 4. It allows sufficient time for the illness to develop so that pres ently the doctor can pronounce it meningitis, infantile paralysis, measles, influenza or whatever and everything will be so concerned that no one remembers the first guess was "just heavy cold"
 Even if you call it cri from the outset, as contend every citizen should-cri (kree) means common respiratory infection, of course you don't know yet which respiratory infection but you are honest about it and give every one fair warning that he comes within your conver- sational spray range at his own peril even if you call it cri there is still no logical reason why you should take a laxative or cathartic of any kind. However. in practice, if think the patient thinks he knows more than I know about that, interpose no serious objection to dose of his favorite physic. It is not worth while to reason about such @ thing with a sick man.
 No, indeed, when human being is careless enough to do as say l would do if I had the cri, I do not stand around uttering synicisms concerning the ineflcacy of medi- cal treatment. On the contrary I contirev to keep the poor geek busy for the duration of the illness. We haven't space to complete the les son today but tomorrow shall pre- sent here the essentials of my home treatment for the cri--the treat ment I'd prefer if I myself were threatened with or coming down with cri. So be sure and drop around, folks.

DIES GOES AFTER
WAR MONGERS IN u. S.

If the Dies committee had done moth
ing else, and never again did anything
else, its forthcoming inquiry into foreign
propaganda in the United States would
fully justify its existence.
The United States will not get into
Europe's war unless it is led there by
propaganda The people now are dead set
against sending men to Europe TO fight
somebody elSe'S war. One thing. and one
only, would ever make them change
their mind. Propaganda. We can do
nothing about the propaganda issued by
our own misled politicians who believe
we should fight in Europe, but we can
and should do something about the prop
aganda spread in this country by for
eign agents.
The Dies committee can do the entire
nation a favor by revealing the sources
of propaganda. the forms its takes, the
channels through which it is distributed.
and the various direct objectlveS it has.
Propaganda can be spread through
small groups, or II can be aimed at the
entire nation. 1t can be issued through
such organizations as the German-Amer-
ican Bund. or it can be in the form of
supposed news dispatches submitted to
all the newspapers in the country.
The Dts committee can and probably
will probe deep into the sources, uses
and purposes of propaganda.
But it is up to the American public as
a whole to see that propaganda issued
or inspired By foreign agents does not
have the effect desired for it. The Dies
committee cannot do it all. The news
papers cannot do it all. 1t is up to the
people, in the final analysis. to be for
ever on guard so that their thinking and
their actions will not be warped by prop
aganda AS usual, the people themselves
are the court of last appeal.

SHOULD BE REVIVED
{ Riverside Press)

Once upon time when we We're young
SterS it seemed to us most of the families
in our neighborhOod were eager to dis
play the flag on every possible occasion
not only on patriotic holidays, but on
any other excuse which could be found.
Many homes had a flagpole in the
front yard, or attached to the house,
and if no pole were available the flag
was draped across the front of the build
ing, or in other ways displayed
Then came an era when sO-called flag
waving" came into disrepute; when folks
were a trifle shy in displaying the ma
tional emblem fearing their neghbors
would criticize on the ground it wasn't
dignified, that its prOmiscuous display
would detract from proper apprecia
tiOn of what the flag stands for. Anyway
the custom narrowed to the use Of the
flag on public buildings and gasoline
stations. with little more general dis
play on public buildings.
1t seems to US we could use a little
more flag waving right now here in IsiV
erside, not in belligerent manner, to be
sure but just to evidence our pride in
our heritage of liberty.
We are not much in sympathy with
laws which would compel people to sal
ute the flag, but We are in favor Of setting
such an example of national pride as to
make every child and every adult in our
midst want to salute the Star Spangled
Banner A salute which would come from
the heart, not from cOmpulSiOn.

At a recent meeting of the Ma

Ia, farmers were told, by AAA Ad-
ninistrator r. M. Evans. not tn
count on anything spectacular hap
pening to markets this year. And
as for the postwar period-no soap.
Not the way things look now. Europe
may need American crops when the
war is over, but there probably
won't be enough folding money left
on the entire continent to buy bal

Mr.. Evans pointed out that Am
erican farmers have already felt the
effect of war by finding themselves
with unexpected surpluSes on hand.
Tobacco, for example. England used
to be a pretty good customer of SOU
thern tobacco growers: but, when
the war broke out, this trade sud-
denly stopped. England had accum-
ulated large reserves, and if she
needs more tobacco. she will get it
somewhere else.
