By DR.. Logan Clendening

cords Is so slight that 1t is
inaudible to the ear. The tones
that we hear in the speaking
voice are amplified by vibrations
against the bony structures in
the chest, mouth and head.
Proper placement of tone is
always guided by the ear.
SOMETHING TO SAY
One thing I think that all
voice teachers leave out. is the
great important thing-to have
something to say when you are
speaking.
A person who is intensely in
terested in his subject will, in
most cases, deliver it well; also
with brevity. I like the anecdote
told of DR.. George Vincent that
he said the essentials for an
after dinner speech were to
have good introduction and a
good closing. "What do you do
next ?" he was asked. THAT'S
easy; put them very close to-
gether." -
QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
]. E. MT would like to
know what is meant by a 'ner-
vous heart Would it cause
heart attacks and would it
cause a person to breathe as If
with asthma at times?"
Answer-More people who
have heart trouble" are that
way on account of nervous heart
than on account of real organic
heart trouble. When the heart
obtrudes itself upon the con-
seriousness it causes great appre-
hension. These nervous hearts
can initiate any form of real
heart disease-attacks of pafpi-
tation, even attacks of pam.
The heart will even 60 into a

p. A. R.-"Would you con-
slider a 4-year-old child too
young TO have a tonsil opera

be dangerous?"
Answer-No. Four years old
is not too young for a tonsil
operation provided there is real
evidence that the tonsils are in

operation is not dangerous in
skillful hands.

Probably not. Jake Is one

for anybody that crosses his
path.

passionate rage.

1t was wet night and the
place was comparatively
empty, when she seated her
self on a stool at the end OF
the bar.
Jake leaned over and whis-

honey" He nodded towards
the young man beside her,
who had obviously taken more
drinks than he could hold.
Perhaps it was the bright
red hair and freckles that

the hands he put into his coat

in a blank daze. 1nvolun-

him.
