The boauty of Sembrich's voice is without a rival today. In the opinion of many leading critics. "The finest exemplar of good singing In this gen eration," says H. E. Krehbiel. the well known critic of the New York Tribune. "Uttered by her 'voice of silvery clear ness, mellow, warm, caressing to both sense and feeling, the merest common places in music have blossomed with a charm that carried ear and fancy cap tive." Critics have pronounced her the greatest colorature soprano of the present day, as well as one of the greatest Interpreters of lieder, a most unusual combination. "In music that expresses the sheer joy of living there is probably no artist that can ap proach her," says the Toronto Star. "Sembrich has a remarkable genius for entering into the spirit of the music she -is singing." It is this buoyancy and grace, united with depths and tenderness and haunt ing charm'' of style, that give Sembrich the title of "the greatest and most loved singer of this generation." - In addition to the magical power of her wonderful voice she has rare charm of stage presence, and incidentally it may be mentioned Is the smartest gowned woman on the American stage. Her Paris gowns are marvelous cre ations of beauty in design and tinting. Sembrich's Portland concert will take place next Thursday night, January 6, at the Armory, under the direction of Lois Steers-Wynn Coman. Y. M, C. A. GLASSES GAIi SCHOOL WILL OPEN TODAY WITH BIG ENROLLMENT. Popular Lecture Courses Will Be Made Feature, With Building First Subject Studied. After the regular holiday intermission, the educational department of the Young Men's Christian Association will resume regular sessions today. R. C. French, director of this department, expects con siderable increase in registration over last term. Many prospective students called at the Y. M. C. A. building in the holidays and it is thought that the en rollment will be more than 1000 for the coming term. It Is planned by Mr. French to intro duce several popular lecture courses, such as the one in apple growing1, which led to the organization of the Portland Apple Growers Association. The next such course will be for home-builders. Vari ous phases of construction work will be taken up. It is expected that this will meet with the same popularity as the study of apple culture, in view of the great building activity in Portland at present. As a feature of this week, the edu cational department has secured S. E. Webb, of Minneapolis, for an address on "The Science of Business." This will be given Wednesday evening in the associ ation auditorium and will be open to the public. Mr. Webb is an expert on sales manship and it is expected that the em ployes of Portland business houses will turn out in force Lists of the sales men of this city were compiled by the Y. M. C. A. and special invitations were mailed to them. Several subjects have been added to the curriculum of the Y. M. C. A. for this termr probably the most novel being the study or camp-cooking. This course, how ever, will be broader than the name indi cates. Special attention will be given to the study of the chemical values of foods and to scientific methods of prepar ation. ICE SKATING IS ENJOYED POPILAR, BUT RARE, PASTIME PROVES GEX'UIXE JOY. Portlanders by Hundreds Seen at Guilds Lake and at the Oaks. Weather Ideal. , Skating was a popular pastime for hundreds of Portlanders yesterday af ternoon and evening. At various fa vorable points on the outskirts of the city could bel seen persons of all ages indulging In the exhilarating sport. The largest crowds collected at Guilds Lake and at the Oaks, as these places offered the largest expanses of smooth Ice. Several other ponds ' af forded room for a few skaters. In the sloughs east of the city along the Columbia River, the ice in most In stances is too rough for good skating on account of the strong easterly winds blowing. The temperature Is not yet low enough to freeze the river or any running water. At Guilds Lake the ice Is perfectly smooth. Air -holes are quite numerous, but not large enough to interfere much Weather conditions are ideal for pleasurable skating, with no snow to hinder, and. the temperature only slightly below freezing. With contin ued cold weather the schoolboys prob ably will begin to think of organizing hockey teams and skating races may soon be In vogue. As is usually the case when there is opportunity for good skating, ikatcs are scarce in the stores. During the nrst cold snap a few days ago The sup ply was nearly all bought -iut. People who had learned to skate In the cold Eastern clime were present in large numbers, and on all sides could be heard expressions of how It reminded them of old days in Minnesota, Mich igan or Maine.

BOYS HIT BY AUTO 'abst Machine Strikes Two; One May Not Recover. LADS' GAME HAS SAD END Automobile Is Responsible for First Serious Accident of Xew Year in Portland Alfred Smith and Bryan Douglas, Victims. The automobile was responsible for the first serious accident In Portland in 1910. A big Peerless touring car. driven by its owner. H. M. Pabst. Buperiritendent of the Portland Gad Company. yesterday ran over two small boys, seriously injur ing one and breaking the arm of the other. The accident happened shortly be fore 5 o'clock, in front of the Portland Riding Academy, between Twenty-second and Twenty-first streets1. In the car with Mr. Pabst were Ion Lewis, architect, and Scott Brooke. All are prominent In Portland financial cir cles and club life. Boys 12 and 14 Years Old. The two boys, Alfred Smith. 14 years old. son of a widow, Mrs. S. Smith. 209 North Eighteenth street, and Bryan Douglas, 12 years old. son of James Doug las, 707 ' Johnson street, were playing hlde-and-go-seek with a number of other boys living In the neighborhood. The 'home base" was located just across the street from the riding academy and the two boys were hiding in the stables. Bryan and Alfred started racing out of the front of the stables for the base. The automobile came up the street at the same time and though Pabst saw them running in front of him, he ' was unable to estop liis machine, barely having time to throw the reverse lever and swerve the car tv the right. The tires were not equipped with non- skid chains or covers and the great ma chine slid 25 feet, the tread of the left hind wheel wearing almost off. The Smith boy was slightly in advance of his younger companion and the left fender of the machine struck him on tae left arm, snapping it in two and sending him rolling on the pavement. The hood of the car struck young Douglas squarely, knocking him down and running over him. Both were picked up and carried into a nearby residence, the younger uncon scious. Aid Given Victims of Accident. The car was stopped as quickly as pos sible and the three occupants, jumping out, ran and Inquired sollcitiously after the victims. Seeing that, young Douglas was badly injured. Mr. Pabst took him in the car to the Good Samaritan Hospi tal. The other boy was taken to the same hospital. Aside from minor bruises the extent of young. Smith's Injuries are not considered serious, though he will be in the hospital several days. The Douglas boy, how ever, is not thought so fortunate. Dr. G. S. vvllson, 'the attending physician, ex pressed fears for his recovery, saying he was probably injured internally. James Douglas, Jr., 8 years of age, brother of the .most severely injured lad, was run down by Councilman Gay Lom bard in his car, June 2, 1909, seven months ago yesterday to the day. Mr. Pabst Talks. "I do not see how both escaped being killed." said Mr. Pabst. "I fully ex pected to get out of my car and see them lying in the street, dead.
