American Singers Have Little Chance
of Success Abroad -
By MILTON ABORN, American
Dramatic Producer
THE much flaunted "artistic atmosphere" of Euro
pean capitals is spelled G-K-A-F-T.
Most of the teachers and agents there are out
for the great American dollar, and their love for their
art is expressed in MARKS. FLORINS AND
FRANCS.
A MEDIOCRE SINGER CAN SECURE A SINGLE
PERFORMANCE IN ONE OF THE FOREMOST OPERA
HOUSES IF HE CAN AND WILL PAY A THOU
SAND DOLLARS OR SO TO AN AGENT WHO HAS
SOME UNDERGROUND CONNECTION WITH THE
MANAGEMENT. ON THE OTHER HAND. A REALLY
GREAT ARTIST HAS A LONG AND ALMOST HOPE
LESS STRUGGLE UNLESS. HE HAS A LOT OF MONEY WITH WHICH
TO BUY WIS. WAY TO A PROPER HEARING.
There are agents who will give a young singer or musician a concert
appearance for a stated sum, furnishing the audience, the claque and
the criticisms for various additional payments. On every hand there
are teachers promoting ordinary singers whose hopes are kept at a hi-h
pitch by predictions of operatic triumphs to come. THE HIGHER
THE PUPIL'S HOPES THE FASTER HE PAYS HIS MONEY
TO THE TEACHER.
A prima donna who has signed a contract for two hundred francs a
month about TEN DOLLARS A WEEK to sing leading roles in
a small municipal opera house in Germany must supply her own cos
tumes and wigs, and there was a proviso in her contract to the effect
that if she did not "make good" in .three weeks her contract would be
come null and void. There are a great many other foolish American
singers doing the same thing in Europe.

amassed by frugality and self denial
are his favorite quarry, for he knows
that the keen business man would in
vestigate too closely. 'Thus" his rob
berries, for no milder term can be ap
plied, are from those who are least
able to bear the loss.
The fane siock peddler's method of
attack is peculiarly reprehensible. Ha
fastens upon some one who has a lit
tle money and not too much business
judgment and acumen. He becomes a
hail fellow well met. He wins the
confidence of his "prospect." Then he
sets about his task of convincing him
or her that an investment in the
securities he has to offer will bring
riches.
The deal is made. Then comes the
long wait for dividends. Inquiries are
met with the reply that development
of the property is taking up all the
available cash, but that large divi
dends will be paid soon. The cer
tainty of future wealth gradually fades
into doubt and doubt fades again in
to certainty certainty that the invest
ment is worthless and the money
gone. Slowly the mulcted invested
realizes that his savings are wasted
and that he has nothing in return.
With some of them it means the trans
ition from comfort to want. With all
it means loss of confidence in human
ity. If the "blue sky" law proves to be
the means by which these pirates of
business are driven out it will have
performed a great service for Oregon.
It would seem that the health offi
cials "should have acted earlier in clos
ing the Star Dairy. In the typhoid
fever cases that have .been reported tn
The Enterprise, a majority of the pa
tients used milk from this dairy.

Heart to Heart
Talks
THE WORLD DOES MOVE!
"Sooner or later," says an editorial
writer, "every 'necessary evil' becomes
unnecessary."
We hear too much of "necessary
evils." If every one who used the
phrase were to do something to abate
them the world would soon be rid of
some of its worst ills.
Ever since the cave man- looked
upon the great saber toothed tiger as
an inevitable part of his existence, to
be avoided if possible but not to be
exterminated, men have been afraid to
tackle their problems manfully.
And the problems live. When they
finally go at them men hud them not
so hard to solve as they have feared.
If we really sat down to think hard
about some of the things which afflict
modern civilization such as the pres
ence of disease and immorality and sel
fishness and the unequal distribution
of wealth we should Bud a way to
make these "necessary jevils" unneces
sary '
A few centuries ago there were in
England about 150 offenses against
the law punishable by death. Now
there is one.
One' hundred years ago the mentally
afflicted were treated as criminals, In
sleiid of getting medical care which
they needed and which they receive
now. they were fastened up In strait
jackets and left to suffer the horrors
of hunger and thirst and darkness
Lunacy, you see, was a necessary evil,
to be treated as such, not as some
thing to be cured We have abolished
that and we are on the road to the
prevention of insiinity.
One necessary evil going,.
We haw been hearing much of thu.
reclamation of girls and women who
go wrong. There will come a time
when they will no longer be regarded
as a necessary evil when the same
spirit which freed the lunatic from the
charge of criminality will treat thes
unfortunate: as victims of causes out
side of themselves.
So will another necessary evil be
eliminated.
- In spite of pessimism the world does
advance in righteousness. The pessl
mist is wrong in looking only at the
cloud. The optimist proves his shal
lowness sometimes by seeing only the
silver lining
- Better than either is the meliorist
who holds tnat the world is advancing
slowly perhaps but no less surely, in
the ways of right ana justice.

. Hygiene For Business Women.
Pirst of all. seven or eight hours of
sleep are necessary and if possible
nine. Always have fresh air circulat
ing in the bedroom. Cold weather need,
never be an excuse for tightly shut
windows. No one who has honestly
tried sleeping in a thoroughly ven
tilated room will willingly go back to
the slow suffocation caused by the
want of oxygen.
If after a day's trying ordeal the
body is tired, the mind sore and dis
couraged and the spirit drooping, eat
sparingly of something ery wholesome
and simple that is easily digested, re
lax for half an hour, read a light book
or stretch out in . some comfortable
chair, then sponge the body over with
the following lotion, which will soothe
the wornout nerves, rest the limbs and
induce sleep: Sea salt, four ounces:
spirits of camphor, two ounces; spit
its of ammonia, two ounces: pure al
cohol, eight ounces.
Add sufficient water to make a full
quart. Dissolve' the salt in the hot
water and let it stand until cool. Pour
the spirits of camphor and ammonia
into the alcohol, add the salt water and
shake well, then bottle for use. Wet
the body with this, then rub vigorously
until the skin glows;
Whether the cold bath or the warm
bath is taken, it is purely a question of
Individual taste and pleasure. If the
cold water is chilling and there is no
reaction after the friction1" the cold
bath should not be indulged in. The
French dermatologists object, to the
habitual cold plunge, preferring the
warm bath with the use of a cooler
spray afterward and a final rubdown
with a toilet vinegar or astringent wa
ter. But this again is a matter of taste.
The next most important factor in
the business woman's care of herself
is exercise. Of course it is often im
possible for' her to take very much
outdoor exercise except on Sundays
and holidays, but a few moments in
the morning given to physical culture
or a few simple exercises adapted to
her. particular requirements will per
form wonders.
Work will never injure looks or
health if even ordinaryare is bestow
ed on our bodies and if we follow
conscientiously and carefully as far as
possible the simple, homely rules of
health. Physical culture is' the result
of long years of thought and experi
ence and is. designed to develop and
does develop every muscle of the
body. It gives poise and physical au
thority. Select three or four simple
exercises and rise fifteen minutes ear
lier. It may seem trying at first, but
after a few efforts the results will be
so gratifying that the fifteen minutes
given up to these exercises will be
come a pleasant habit. '
Diet is another great factor in the
care the business woman should give
to herself. The first and most essen
tial point in the matter of diet for the
beauty seeker is that it should be plain
and wholesome, not flavored with rich
sauces or condiments, simple, nutriti
ous and. above all: well cooked.
Breakfast should be light, but ample,
and the midday meal be more solid.
For the hard worked business man
and for the great army of women
toilers it essentially applies that this
meal should be wholesome, but not
heavy a repast that will give as much
nourishment and stamina as possible
in small bulk. Begin the day with a
glass of hot or cold water: then the
rest of the meals can be taken dry.
Drink several glasses of pure water
between meals.
Xo woman -should ever go to bed
hungry. A light luncheon of wafers
and warm milk, hot water and brown
bread or even a few dates is enough
to stay the craving and induce sleep.
The mistake is to eat heartily and hur
riedly, imposing upon the stomach a
full meal of half masticated food.
No Iced Drinks For Beauty.
Any girl who values or . who is try
ing to cultivate a "good complexion
should not drink ice cold drinks of any
kind. Plenty, of cool water should be
drunk, however, and two quarts each
day is none too much, at least during
the warm weather, says the Philadel
phia Telegraph.
Some girls declare they never drink
much water. To those I would say
then It is high time they began. Just
as the body requires to be flushed ex
ternally by bathing, so does it need In
ternal flushing, and plenty of cool,
fresh water will do this better than
medicine. If you are no water drink
er try It for the summer and note
the difference in your complexion a
few months later. But do not be like

long she had tried, she said. "A couple

tried at all. Another girl said that she

day she noticed? how soft and

merly it was muddy ami sallow. When
asked how long it had been since she
started to drink water regularly, she

she really thought it worth while to
cultivate the habit of drinking water.

Avoid Being Conspicuous at All Times.
The wouuiu who resenta a slight im
pertinence offered likely by some par
tially intoxicated youth, thereby giv
ing ber escort a bad half hour in his
endeavor to punish the guilty, is not
doing exactly the proper thing unless
indeed the impertinence has been too
pronounced to be overlooked. Better
try the method of neither seeing nor
hearing The boy or man is made to
understand that the offense cannot be
repeated, and very likely no one else
has known anything about it
As an almost Infallible rule no" wo
man gets herself Insulted unless she
gives cause either by dress, manner or
carriage. Men are. very careful in
such matters. If women are careful
not to talk or laugh too loud, never to
drink liquors in public, restaurants or
cafes, never by any chance to give a
side glance or in any way indicate
that they wish to lie noticed, they may
go from one extremity of the earth to
the other in perfect "safety unless un
fortuuate enough to find themselves in
the company of intoxicated and brutal
men. Even then, should there be'any
present, properly reared, with good
mothers, sisters, sweethearts,' to re
member, any lack of civility will sure
ty be punished and short shrift given.
But If a girl or woman makes loud
remarks, casts about her for looks of
Rdmiration. tells of experiences in
crowds, and so on, she is to be blamed
should she be Insulted by the boldly
expressed opinions of men watching
i her This is indeed the truest test of
high hreedine and good training to be
shown.
The Groom's Wedding Expenses.
The groom has a few expenses to
meet. Fie should fee the clergyman
for officiating. The best man usually
attends to this, and the fee should not
he less thai $5 In fashionable so
ciety $25 is considered the minimum
fee.
The groom should also fee the sexton
of the church. He pays for the bride's
bouquet, the bouquets "of the brides
maids and the boutonnleres of the ush
ers. He sends carriages for the ushers
ind provides a carriage for himself
ad the best man. He also pays for a
,-arriage for himself and wife aftei
the ceremony. If the best man and
groom have come from another city
the groom is entitled to play the host
and to pay for the expenses .of both
This Is not obligatory and Is generally
not permitted by the best man.
Of course the little souvenirs given
at the farewell dinners of both bride
and groom are paid for by each respec
tively. These are sent the day before

cial entertainment is given.

Larry Lajoie, the veteran Cleveland
player, who was deposed as the team's

Birmingham recently, may be seen In

It is said that Managers Callahan and
Jeuavings are now dickering for the
Frenchman.
Lajoie is sore at heart over being
made what he terms a bench warmer
when he is still able to play the posi
tion. He stated recently that he would
sooner quit the game than warm the
bench or be a substitute. Lajoie is
one of the most famous infielders and
batters in the game and has been in
harness for seventeen seasons. Man-
Photo by., American Pj-esa Association,
ager Birmingham' declares that the
reason he benched Lajoie was because
bis broken bands had caused him to
slump in his work. In fifty-three
games this season he batted .327 and
fielded .065, Detroit, it is understood,
offered Sam Crawford or Bobby Veach
or a fair sum of money in exchange
for- Larry, s Jennings figures that with
Lajoie batting behind Ty Cobb the
hit and run play, a forgotten item in
the Tigers' attack, would be revived.
As a purely mechanical baseball
player Lajoie was a wonder is still.,

Time was when the issue between
himself and Hans Wagner as to which
was the greatest baseball player in the
