AMERICAN SINGER CLINGS TO
HER OWN AMERICAN NAME
Helen Stover Declares Her "Return From Abroad Will Find Her Still
With Name Parents Gave Her, Without Foreign Frills. ' .
H'
to
BY LEONE CASS BAER.
ELEN STOVER says she is not
going to be like the girl in the
poem:
"Whose name to Alice Wise.
When she started a career she scratched
out both her fs."
(Whereupon she became Alyce
Wyse.)
Then, resumed Miss Stover.
"When Alyce saw what she had done,
With all her might and main,
She married Ikey Ikelstein
And scratched 'em in again."
In fact the fascinating Miss Sto-ver
Is not going to tamper with her good
American name at all. The subject
came up when she spoke of plans she
was considering to go to Italy this
fall. Someone In the group of tea
hounds hanging around her said that
Anna Fitzhugh returned from Italy
made over into Anna Fitziu.
On the other hand Mary Garden
and Geraldine Farrar also went
Italy and returned with their name
unchanged." smiled Miss Stover,
shall remain Helen Stover until the
end of my professional chapter. My
dear friend and teacher, Byford Ryan
to whom I owe my whole vocal train
ing and whatever success haa been
mine, has, as I have, a contempt for
the insincere and the artificial. To
gether we laugh at the name he has
given me, an affected accented twist
ing of my own. He calls me Helain
Stovaire and predicts that I will re
turn from abroad with that name on
my luggage.
"Mr. Ryan says be has two large
and life-sized fears for me and one
that I w-ill settle into a teacher of
music, and the other is that I will be
come an opera singer. It is. of course
a fear he only speaks of, for h
doesn't eally feel it. He knows and
I know that I will never be content
only to teach, although I am passion
ately fond of teaching. He knows,
too. that I am aiming higher than
merely to sing a role or two In grand
opera. I want to be a concert singer.
To my way of thinking it is a much
bigger art to sing in concert than in
opera. In the parlance oi tne aay,
singing in opera is a sure-fire thing.
You can't go wrong in it if you have a
voice. An opera singer is required to
sing only one or two arias in an eve
ning, and is not even called on to be
on the stage all of the time, whereas
in concert a singer must be on the
stage every minute of the perform
ance and be responsible for the whole
undertaking.
Another thing, a concert singer
must be able to sing the same arias
that the opera singer is singing, and
must also be able to Interpret w-nat
ever ballad or verse or story she in
eludes in her concert programme. By
that I mean that more historic ability
is demanded of a concert singer. In
opera one need adhere only to the cut
and dried stage business and methods
laid down by a long line of prim
donnas who have made the roles his
tory. To depart a hair's breadth
brings destructive criticism. Opera is,
you know, largely a matter of tradi
tion. "In singing a bright little song on
the concert stage one may be gay
with the song, and put Individuality
and one's own personal understanding
Into the lines. For instance I am
singing, In my concert on Wednesday
night, one of the late Tom Dobson's
songs. Yasrnin.' which I shall sing
exactly as I feel It and understand it.
Another song 'Twilight' I shall enter
heartily Into because I love and feel
its sentiment By the way 'Twilight.'

tremendously interested In Is Howard
Barlow. I predict you will all be very
proud of him as one of America's rep
resentative composers."
Miss stover's use of the word tre
mendously is typical of the girl's en
thusiasm in a dozen other things. She
is tremendously in earnest and amaz
lngly sincere and honest. She work
out her problems scientifically an
follows a schedule in her work which
absorbs all her working hours. When
she finds a playtime she plays tre
mendously and is looking forward
with keen interest to a highway pic
nic She attended the launching of
the good ship Swiftscout Saturday
morning and was still thrilled with
the wonder of it all, the first launch
ing she had ever seen. "It Is so
glorious to look out and see these
noble mountains and hills instead o
the skyscrapers In New York and to
breathe this lovely spring air," she
said.
Miss Stover Is making her Initial
rip to tht9 coast, coming across the
continent at a moment's notice to sing
with the Portland Symphony orches
tra. She is under contract for a series
of 14 concerts with the Goldman Con
cert band, which plays only around
New York city.
Miss Stover is a Dayton. O.. girl and
tne people in her city still recall the
lever little maid who sang on the
courthouse steps and did the vocal
honors among the local talent.
I learned to cook simultaneously
wttn learning to sing," she says. "In
act I couldnt decide when I was
ery little maid which career I would
follow. I used to bake and broil
hen I was so tiny that mv several
and adoring brothers had to help me
et tne finished products out of the
ven. My sister taught me on the
piano and as fast as I learned a chord
would pass on my information to
other children whom I called my pu
pils. The habit has clung and now I
m the recognized and official helper
i every gin wno nails from the Cin-
innati Conservatory of Music, my
lma mater. Every girl who can get
ticket to New York feels at liberty
to drop In on me and I want them to
feel that way, for my biggest happi-
ess lies in helping others."
Miss Stover will be the soloist with
e Portland Symphony orchestra in
s concert to be presented Wednesday
ght at the Heilig theater.
Wm. Gadsby & Sons, the well-known

l"p When Congress Fails to
Provide Transportation.
Oregon's shipment of food to the
famine sufferers of North China will
be made up almost entirely of wheat
and flour, and all efforts of the China
near east relief campaign workers
throughout the state are now being
centered on the assembling of wheat
and flour donations in the largest
quantities possible and cash contri
butions. The previous plan to send
shipments of prunes and salmon, J
J. Handsaker, state manager, said
last night, has been abandoned be
cause of failure to secure the fren
transportation by government boat
as had been planned.
"We were greatly disappointed,"
said Mr. Handsaker, "when the house
of representatives at Washington ad
journed without considering the $500.-
000 appropriation already passed by
the senate for the purpose of moving
across the Pacific food supplies do
nated by American farmers, via U. S.
shipping board vessels or navy trans
ports. Had this appropriation been
made by congress we could have
shipped large supplies of Oregon
prunes and Oregon salmon to the
starving Chinese, but since we will
hav to pay freight on our food ship
ments, It has been thought best to ac
cept no further donations of prunes,
salmon or other bulky foodstuffs.

highly concentrated food, but permit

Desperate Man Suffered AYounds in
France While Serving With
Canadian Forces.
Because he was out of funds, out
of work, and in poor health because of
wounds received in France, William
Flett, ex-soldier in the Canadian army
and said to be the son of a well-to-do
family, attempted to end his life
late Saturday night by slashing his
throat with a razor.
The Injured man was found a short
time after he had committed his rash
act, and was taken to St. Vincent s
hospital. He was later removed to
the police emergency hospital, where
physicians said yesterday he probably
will die.
Flett said he had been in Portland
wo months. His room rent was due
Saturday but he had no money with
which to pay It. His sole capital
was $1.60. In a second-hand store he
purchased a razor for $1.50. He then
went up the Marquam hill where he
iashed his throat from ear to ear.
He was wandering about in a dazed
condition until he dropped from loss
of blood. Passersby saw him and
called the police.
Flett said he joined the Canadian
army at the outset of the war. He
displayed several gunshot wounds
which he said he received In France.

Security to policyholders has been the
first consideration in administering the
funds of Oregon Life. Possible high inter

Every investment must pass the careful
inspection of a finance committee chosen

recognized throughout the state as skilled,

which comprise the assets of Oregon Life.

Advertising
Advertisings is merely mass sell

The same principles that govern
individual selling apply to mass
selling.
The manufacturer who sends in
dividual salesmen out to sell does
not rush them from the ofuce pell
mell and give them the wide, wide
world for territories, tie would go
broke if he did.
On the contrary,-he carefully
.routes each individual. He sends
each man into the particular local
ity where he has the best chance to
make good.
The wise manufacturer who uses
mass salesmanship advertising
uses the same methods.
He selects his market and routes
his advertising, tie uses the most
force where he has the best chance
of selling. He omits tne places
where his chances are poor.
The advertiser who employs
these up-to-date methods uses tne
daily newspapers.
