Modem Fashions Rob Music World Philad^elphia. â€" The slim-figure fashion is robbing the country of con- siderable singing talent, according to Dr. Leon Feiderman, throat special- ist here. Many women, who might become great singers, sacrifice their voices by refuiin^ to take necessary exercises. They are fearful of enlarging their figures. Dr. Feiderman stated recent- ly. Many women also refuse to develop the lower register of their vocal chords because this has a tendency to enlarge their grirth. Dr. Feldemian said. "The vocal chords," ha said, "are pairs of fibrous bands drawn suffi- ciently together to leave a fine open- ing called the glottis. The length of the glottis in the adult male aver- ages about 1.8 centimeters and in the female 1.0 centimeters. The stream of air flowing through the silt, or glottis, sets the vocal chords in vibra- tion. This in turn gives rise to pe- riodic fluctuations on the flow of air through the glottis, and these fluctu- ations create the sound waves."

Russia Prepares for Winter Preparation I'or winter is more noticeable in Russia than in most countries where the winters, are milder. Double windows are brought dowTi from the attic, put in and care- fully calked with a kind of putty. The space between tlie two window-sashes at the bottom has several inches of sand laid to keep out all the drafts possible, and it is covered with dif- ferent colored moss. We had in our wvods the loveliest iiioss â€" pale silver, russet browns and many shades of green that kept their colors all win- ter and were a link between us and the snow-bound world. In cities where moss is not at hand, thick lay- ers of cotton batting are placed, some- times brightened by clippings of tin- sel or colored pajier or everlastin.g flowers strewed over the cotton. While the housewives are thus getting the homes protected, the police in bowns and the headmen in \-illages are thinking: of travelers. As the snow falls and lakes and rivers freeze, they take measures. Young spruce trees are firnidy planted in the ice at con- venient distances in two parallel rows marking the road. This is a vital precaution in view of the terrible dark blizzards that are to he expected â€" blizzards so dense that once they caused my husband and the co!U'hit»an, in the middle of the day, to flounder for hours in the drifts on the lake in frv>nt of our house, unable to find the turn. On land, long wisps of twisted straw tied to trees and fences, or, iu the open countrj-, little trees were again planted. The severe climate made warmth the chief objecti%-e in all building operations. The Russian stove is therefore the center and most con- spicuous feature of the interior of the hv?use. . The huge brick oven in which all cooking, as well as baking, is done is so built as to heat the whole of the largo compartment. The nmny turns â€" forty or fifty, I be- lieve â€" that the flue makes before the smoke reaches the other chimney in- sures every particle of heat being retained. The hot-air chamber is closed as soon as the fire has burtwd out the dangerous fumes, and we have a huge brick construction bef<»e us with a flat "roof" reached by two or three steps built in the side. The stove is warni â€" the "roof" most comfortingly so, and this platform, some eigiht feet by six at least, piled with sheepskin <->afc». quilts, pillows, etc., is sleeping ' Isce, warming- place and comfort fur the w'hole family. â€" Emma Cochran Ponafidine, in "Ru«- sia â€" My Home," (Indianapolis: Bobbs-Merria.) Ancient Hall Brings $62,500 Drakelow Hall in Gresley Fa- mily for 28 Generations London. â€" One of the only two re- maining unbroken links with William the Conqueror's Doomsday Book was severed recently with the auction sale of Drakelow Hall, standing in a beau- tiful park a mile outside Burtoc-on- Trent. The hall was the seat of the Gresley family for 2S generations. Pre- sent head of the family Is Sir Robert Gresfey, 11th baronet. Even the auctioneer was moved to sentiment, describing the sale as the climax of a tragedy and warning the town authorities they might be held to account by future generations If they allowed a place ot such historic importance to be lost. But the estate was sold la one lot of $62,500 to parties who, It Is under- stood., bought It for speculative pur- poses. Economic conditions, and not the threatened extinction ot the historic family line, provoked the sale for Sir Robert, who married a daughter of the Sth Duks of Marlborough, has three sons. With the sole exception of the Shirleys of Ettington the Gres- leys were alone In retaining posses- sion of estates granted the family in the feudal tenure by Duke William of Normandy. The 2S generations of Gresleys have seen all the other families except the Shirleys dispossessed for one reason or another, including the lU-favor ot the Plantagenet. Tudor or Stuart sovereigns, the Wars of the Roses, the Puritan uprising, the Industrial re- volution ot the last century or the economic crisis of the present times. JLady Astor Hails Women's Progress Three Who Changed World Thinking Named in Bir- mingham Talk Birmingham, Eag. â€" Persons wh4 change false thinking are potential factors In the world. Lady Astor poinb ed out In a recent addreM to the Bii« miugham rederaiion ot University Women. Her subject was the evoliK tlon and progress ot women ia th« last 100 years. "In the nineteenth century." ah< said, "there were three women wh« changed the thinking of the world." The first ot these. Lady Astor said, was Florence Nightingale; the seconj was Josephine Butler, who laid dow« the idea of the equal moral standard; and the third waa Mary Baiter Eddy, the Discoverer and Founder of Chri»» tlan Science. "These three women did their wod| more or less simultaneously in about the '60*3, and we today are the bette* for their having lived and having striven in that very difficult timflb Then came Mrs. Fawcett and Mrg, Pankhurst." Lady Astor said, "and all those who fought for wom«i's suf- frage. She had been proud also to be th« first woman M.P. ia England, she d«< clared. and said she had stood for ths women's point of view. Dealing with the queetion of womev in Industry. Lady Astor pointed oul that In 12 years the number of womes in Industry in England had Increase^ from 5,000.000 to 6,000,000 and th€ number oi married women from 693/ 000 to nearly 1,000,000. Another cause which Lady Asto» pleaded was that of open-air nurserf schools. It had been proved, she said, that they could reduce the 27 per cent; ot detectives among children ot school age to seven per cent, and It was far more rational, and a far better invest" ment for the country, to spend monefi on nursery schools than to raise large sums ot mctiey for extending hospi- tals.

The Preservation Of Wood Ashes Since wood asltes owe a consider- able i»art of their value to Bhe pres- ence of potash, which Is soluble la water, it Is obvious that the ashee should be kept under cover and not exposed to the weather. Clean unle«ched wood aahes con- tain from 4 to 6 per cent, (or even hlghe*"), of potash, with I to 2 por cent, of phosphoric add and 34 to 40 per cent, of lime. In addition to their value as a source of potash, w»iod ashes are ot value to acid soils through tSieir con- tent of lime whIcJi lessens the acidity of soils to whl<<i they are applied. The ashes of coal and coke are practically destitute ot fertillter con- stituents.
