ADVANCE THE STATE'S OLDEST NEWSPAPER (Established 1873) (Official City, State and County Newspaper) CHILD HEALTH DAY b o t y w nu A a u T v. 8 1 f 1 5 | a} ‘ Y x Setting aside days on which to focus attention upon special features of public affairs has become popular and in some instances the idea savors of propaganda for rev- enue. Not so, however, with Child Health Day. The Child Health Association asks the nation to regard May 1 as Child Health Day and to devote a portion of that day to directing the attention of the public upon better health methods for the conservation of the boys and girls, the citizens of to- morrow. Nothing surely is of more importance to the nation than the well being of its children. In the heath of a nation lies its happiness and its wealth. That is the basis of all prog- ress and it would be impossible to overstress the import- ance of a movement that seeks to bring about a better type of manhood and womanhood. While the United States is abreast of the times in most matters and ahead of many nations in general lines of prog- ress, it is a fact that five nations have a lower child mor- tality than the United States. Sixteen nations have a lower rate of mortality for mothers in childbirth. Those familiar with physical inspection made for the se- lective draft know that it showed a great percentage of the young men had some defect that could have been corrected easily in childbirth or early manhood if attention had only been directed to it. Child Health week seeks to emphasize the necessity of examinations and systematic care of the health of the growing boys and girls. Parents can well afford to join heartily in the support of Child Health Day. Appropriate literature distributed among the children and instructive addresses all help to cut down child mortality. Much is being done in the larger cities and towns through a school nurse and frequent examinations by physicians and dentists, but to reach out into rural communities where the need is greatest is the problem. Qne answer is a health plan for each county that brings the services of the public poalth agent to every home—a large program. but worth- while. If Child Health Day can only direct the public mind and 4 arouse a demand for better health laws, and more efficient Pesupieement of health regulations, it will have been worth : while. HER GOLDEN JUBILEE is no small accomplishment. The popular diva, Schumann- Heink will appear in some of her Wagnerian roles at the Metropolitan, the scene of her early triumphs. There is no more remarkable career to be found anywhere than that of Schumann-Heink. Singers of the first magnitude usually retire comparatively early in life. At the age of 65, Schu- ‘mann-Heink has a magnificent deep chested contralto which music patrons are still paying good money to hear. , Contrast her active musical career with that of some o: her contemporaries: Calve retired at 47; Gadski left the Metropolitan at 44; Eames and Semorich at 42; Tetrazzini at 40 and Jean de Reszke at 53. Few singers have endeared themselves to as many as Schumann-Heink. Upon her various concert tours she has visited the small cities and has come into close contact with millions. In addition to her musical career she has not neg- lected her family duties. Her home and her children have ‘always been placed above her career. Love for her home has been one of the outstanding characteristics of this artist. *: She-is the daughter of an Austrian army officer and an , Italian mother, so the traits of the Teuton and Latin are reflected in her career. Meeting many rebuffs, she never allowed disappointments to cloud hér vision or curb her ambition. Told repeatedly that her career lay at the sew- ing machine, she refused to give up her dreams of a career. Her success is unique in the history of the operatic stage. + Admirers the world over will await new triumphs for her as she celebrates her golden anniversary upon the Metropol- itan stage where Scotti, youthful in voice at sixty, is still the marvel of the musical world. peramentally in operating in any work that anyone else has originated. excellent.

Music offers a wider scope for the recording of the entire scene, if a complete record is possible in any medium. The nearest approach to such a musical record is the old ragtime piece, “The Sidewalks of New York.” Now George Gershwin has been commissioned by the New York Sym- phony Society to write a New York | @- concerto in three movements, to be played in Carnegie Hall Dec. 3 and 4. Gershwin is an_ impressionist, His “Rhapsody in Blue” attracted wide attention as the forerunner of a new school of American music. Being an impressionist Gershwin has removed himself far from New York to write the piece. He will stay in London until it is done. He is a man for whom tomorrow has never come. His sensitive face is framed in long gray hair. He wears a flowing black tie. I often see him in the theater and about the movie houses. Once he was an actor striving through long years for recognition. Then he entered the movies, but could get no higher than a secondary character part. He is only a few years from the grave, but he regularly makes the rounds of the movie studios and the stage booking offices, firm in the belief that he would become famous in a night if someone would just give him a chance at a big role, Many young men and women am- bitious to succeed in the arts come CAN 3HOW You EXACTLY The CIGAR T WAS REFERRING To -: The Tangle LETTER FROM TO SYDNEY CARTON My Dear Sydney: JE PRESCOTT | know of no one, | whom I would rather ‘s neglect and my hurt feelings of it than to the man who boy's godfather. get back into our new I hope you will be a frequent $8 I hope ‘we wili see you than we letter immediately that particularly glad to get it friend, not only to John Alden Prescott Prescott’s wife. each other in for me and did me a gr please do not think that I am blaming you in any vs consider what you did as an act of truest friendship and I shall i emary and laven- But you will forgive me if I I don't want to think of it or the letter which cause of what I saw my own’ shortcomings had never seen them before, and I want to acknowledge right here and now to you that I have come to the that I am as blame for the misunderstandings be- tween Jack and myself as h And I also want to promise { that I am going to try very hard to get his point of view, which I see from your letter , culine point of view.

She receives $1,000 for “best American novel published during the year which shall present the wholesome. atmosphere of American life and the highest standards of American manners and manhood.” Probably no one novel could fill all the specifications laid down by the great American publisher, but “So Big” fills very many of them. “So Big” reflects the growth of Chicago nd its environs. It sets forth a real American atmosphere and visualizes the resourcefulness of the pioneers of the tmiddle west. Some virile characters are created and the one great central figure, a keen minded woman whom adversity eould not down, is really a figuré that should live in fiction. The award is meritorious. e; GLANDS _ When a man is accused these days, gland specialists, mind specialists, and sociology specialists paw over him and usually lecide it wasn’t his fault. : Of course much of this is tom-foolery, and bunkum, and 4 me of it is downright faking. : But it is to be hoped that a wearied public will not shunt his line of action from the courts.

Now just sit still and we'll try once more.” So he got everything fixed up all over again and told the lady to smile and look at the little bird. But the minute the photograph man began to count, Snitcher Snatch stuck out his head and blew some more snuff at him. “Achoooo!” went the photograph man again—this time so violently jthat the camera went in a heap on | the floor. | “I know what is wrong,” cried the \lady springing to her feet, “It’s your old dusty room. It needs a good cleaning. Then perhaps you can take pictures. Doctor indeed!” And out she sailed. “Tee, hee, hee!” they heard the goblin ‘chuckling down in his vase!

What promises to be an unques- tionably charming picture treat will be the presentation here for the first time of the big roduction, “David Copperfield,” which was adapted from the celebrated and world-loved novel of that title by Charles Dickens. This exceptional feature comes to the Capitol Thea- |tre beginning tonight. In the making of “David Copper- field” as & picture, the adherence to the original Dickens story of love, laughter and tears is as close as it can possibly be. None of the won- drous charm of the characters that were made famous through the nar- ration of “David Copperfield” ha: been lost and the romance has been illustrated in an exceptional manner. The picture is a genuine treat in every respect. The playing is splen- did. The photog: is_unexcelled. The direction is superb. The romance runs through a channel of interest- ing and enthralling scenes, with young Copperfield proving a real ero. ELTINGE THEATRE Norma Talmadge's latest photo- play, “The Lady,” had a long run on the New York and London stages before it was purchased. The locale of the picture covers London, Monte Carlo, the cafe quarter of Marseilles and the seaport of Havre, France. Norma Talmadge plays the role of Pally ‘Roll, a part taken by Mary Nash in the stage version.

Rowell Some one has put out another book on the folly of con- trolling children by fear. The book is good, and so is the doctrine. The trouble is that it can never teach those who need it most. It takes self-control to control others by any- thing but force and fear, and this is exactly what most parents and some teachers lack. | But why does not somebody write another book on the equal futility of controlling adults by fear? Employers talk of the greater “efficiency of labor” at times when jobs are scarce and the men are afraid of losing them. The fact is that even this “efficiency” 6f frightened men is far less than their capacities. And the rule that men work hardest when there is least work to do applies only to those who work for wages. The farmer and his family do not slack on the job when crops are ripening and harvest hands are scarce. That is the very time they work hardest. The most nearly valid part of the indictment of “capital- ism” by the Socialists is based on precisely this fact that the motive of fear of losing his job brings out of the worker less than his productive capacity af all times, and least of all at precisely the times when it is needed most.

Miss Lucille Anderson of Colum- bus, 0., is announced as the first woman to be appointed to the Amer- third secretary of legation at Berne. Doubtless there will be many more to follow. And these highly-trained women will give to our diplomatic service some things it has lacked.

It is illustrated in the tactfulness of President Coolidge in declining the suggestion of his secretaries that he conserve energy by omitting the daily handshaking reception to all comers and gathering the visitors, instead, in a group where he could, address them a daily brief speech. From every standpoint of reason and efficiency, the secretaries were of course right. It would be easier for the president and much more. useful to the visitors. Instead of a meaningless second apiece of hand- shake, they would fave perhaps 20 minutes of rather intimate ‘personal impression of the president in ac- tion, et his best, with such personal or essage as the day might bring forth.
