Observations

Although we we're admo-
nished not TO remove our hats
during the memorial Pilgrim
age, March 5, l must take of
my hat to those who braveo
the elements TO pay tribute
to the first martyrs who fell
in the opening event which
led to the founding of the
United States Of America. The
Pilgrimage started at the Spo.
where they fell, and which is
suitably marked, on State ST..
at Exchange Pl. The next stop
was Old Granary Burial
Ground, where all five bodies
are buried in one grave.
Thence to the Monument on
the Common. At each of these
places a wreath was laid by
the City Of Boston, Mayor
Hines being represented by
John D. (Jack) Brown, the
genial City Greeter, who had
most appropriate words for
each step in the Pilgrimage.
At the Monument, the State
laid a wreath, Col. LAKELAND
Hewitt representing His Ex-
cellency, Gov. Herter. Among
the remarks by Col. Hewitt
was the thought that the mar
tyrs fell in snow, and his feel
ing that he should not shrink
from honoring their memory
because of the snow and Sleet.
Louis Pasco, ST.. took the reins.
with the authority of expert
ence, and named st. Clair
Kirton Master OF Ceremonies
Kirton's control of the pro-
gram was an evidence of his
ability. Incidents Of the Mas
sacre and the conditions were
discussed by Mrs. Lillian d.
Williams, and DR.. Olivia p.
Stokes, Atty. Timothy j.. Nc
Inerney made appropriate re-
marks, and the dynamic Wal
ter j. Stevens condensed many
facts into a few words. AS
usual, snow, sleet and rain
took turns in pouring down
on our devoted heads, but we
were all glad that we went
through with it.
Hol all admirers of Count
Basic, and they are legion and
will get IA closeup next Sat-
urday. Storyville, Copley
Square Hotel is the place.
March 10, from 2 to s p. M.
is the tinel The Second An
nual Cocktail Party of Eta
Phi Chapter is the occasion.
BENEFIT Of the Scholarship
Fund the worthy object.
Habit is formed by repeti-
ton. Persons think of ath-
letes, soldiers, professionals in
almost all branches of activity
as being subject to basic train
ing. How few singers ever
seem to associate training of
muscles with voice production
Is a matter which always
causes me speculation. It is
probably because the child is
taught to talk, and singing is
an elaboration on talking that
folks do not realize that the
tongue, teeth and lips play
a most important part in vo-
cal expression. When teachers
Of singing give you exercises.
they are for the training of
the ear, and also for all or
gans and muscles of the body
which have been found to
enrich the quality Of tone by
experienced teacher or vocal ex
preston diagnoses the pupil
for his needs, just as skillful
physician diagnoses q patient.
1t is impossible to treat any
two exactly alike. So with
singing. A cut and dried rort-
Inc produces mechanical pu-
pills. The genius is stihed by
such a method. What is in
you must be drawn out. and
you will be a successful per-
former. Try it.
Well, I have rehearsed Ethe-
line Jumper for her appear
ance Sunday, March 20, when

tale Wyatt, and can she play
a flute Everybody knows that
Maurice Small is a great or
