ARTISTS ARE KEPT BUSY SINGING SONGS OF MARITIME THESE DAYS

Its April Hit contains a notable addition to Columbia's Easter records In Tschalkoweky's a Legend" and Bach's "Blng Ye to tbe Lord." by the . PauMst Choristers of Chicago. ., Tbe tinging of this male choir under its conductor. Father Finn, has In these two records been registered most successfully for all time. In answer to the demand of today, Columbia artists are kept busy upon songs ot wartime. This April list Includes two songs by the company's enlisted baritone. Arthur Fields, entitled "Tom. Dick and Harry and Jack" and "1 11 Come Back to You When Ifa All Oter." -U also Includes "I'm Writing to You, Sammy," sung by 8amuel Ash; "I'm Going to Follow the Boys," by Campbell and Burr; "Au Revolr But Not Qood Bye, Soldier Boy." by the ietrllng Trio; "America Thru and Thru," by, Frederick Wheeler, baritone: "The Dream of a Soldier Boy." by Charles Harrison, tenor; that famous old-timer, "There'll Be a Hot Time in the Old Town Tonight," sung by Arthur Fields, and that equally popular old melody, "Good-bye, Dolly Gray," sung by Hugh Donovan, assisted by the Broadway Quartette. . The most Impressive April record, however, is unquestionably the one furnished by Stracciari- He has sung "Cortigiani VII Razza Dgnnata" from "Rlgoletto" with an emotion and finish by means of which he has made that famous aria virtually his own. It will be remembered that it was in the part of Rlgoletto and in this very air that Stracciari leaped into fame in Chicago, and he has lately won both New York and Boston with it. "Rlgoletto" h as of late been sung much more often than in previous years because of the passion and pathos Strac

ciari has brought to life In that role and aria, and this Columbia record has caught him at the very fulness of his powers. Other songs suited to a variety of tastes are "Beautiful Isle of Somewhere" and "Ten Thousand Times Ten Thousand," sung by Oscar Beagle; "There's a Lump of Sugar Down in Dixie, ' Al Jolson's song-hif and now one of his Columblt record-hits; "You Can Find a Little Bit of Dixieland No Matter Wher You Go," by Campbell and Burr; "A" Baby's Prayer at Twilight" and "Lorraine," two "heart" songs beautifully sung by Henry Burr; "I Ain't Got Nobody" and "Everybody's Crazy 'Bout the Doggone Blues, But I' Happy," both dellciously interpreted by George H. O'Connor; "Bluebird." by Samuel Ash; "Forever Is a Long, Long Time," by George Wilson; "Any Time's Kissing Time" and "At Siesta Time" from "Chu Chin Chow." sung respectively by Robert Lewis and Charles Harrison ; "Sleep, Baby Sleep" and "On tbe Alma," both splendidly sung by Lucy Gates; "In the Valley of Sunshine and Roses," by Henry Burr;, and "Meet oMther in the Skies" and "My Mother's Bible," both most toucblngly sung by William McEwan. "the world's sweetest Gospel singer." The April list is particularly strong with Instrumental music. The Philharmonic Orchestra of New York has rendered two brilliant pieces in the Malaguena from Moszkowski's "BoabdU" and Rimsky-Korsakov's "Caprlcclo Espagnol'l; Pablo Casals, 'cellist, has played Mendelssohn's "Spring Song" and Faure's "Apres Un Reve"; the Marconi Brothers with their meloaccordians have presented two medelys of patriotic songs called "It's a Long Way to Berlin" and "Over

There"! Vincent 0. Buono has two cornet solos. "Pretty Peggy" and "La Golondrina") and Prince's' Orchestra have recorded five different pieces. Zamecnik's "The Dancer of Navarre," Von Blon's "Whispering Flowers,1" Hagers "The Boy and the Birds," Bohme's "American Eagle March," and Hadley's "Defend Americi." The bird voices In two of these, pieces ttrete whistled by Sybil Sanderson Fagan. An exceptionally good list of dance records has been played by the Jazarimba Orchestra, Handy's Orchestra of Memphis, Jockers Brothers and Prince's Band, while "Cohen at the Telephone" makes two more diverting comedy monologues,' and two . more bedtime stories for children are told by Thornton W. Burgess.

Value of Forests. It has been estimated that If the for ests of the earth were completely stocked and scientifically worked they would yield annually the full equivalent to 120 times the present consumption of coal.

VEILS ARE POPULAR .Veils for summer are mostly of th? motoring variety. . A lady In a. gray Unen frock with gray hat and. boots would do exceedingly well to wear a chiffon veil In vivid raibow colorings. For the all-white costume, a veil of old blue or lettuce green makes a cool and charming complement. . The extent to, which feather and quill trimming is being used prevents a prodigal wearing of close fitting veils. They are such a joy however, that one cannot 1 refrain rather do without feathers. Mauve veiling is threaded in a scroll design, arid is vastly becoming both In color and pattern. Veils of tulle in the shade of one's hat are considered quite smart.

According to a French electrician the temperature' of a carbon filiament of a incandescent light approached 2,600 degrees.

They may be wearing 'em higher in Hawaii and Timbuctoo, but boot tops are coming down, without a doubt, Chez nous. What with the government taking a hand in our footwear, we may be barefoot in Summer and ordering sabots for winter; but then we wouldn't worry over wooden shoes, if we were really helping the big cause. As a compromise between our late luxuries leather shoes, and the threatened famine, we are being offered some highly attractive Summer shoes of fabric. Of course, they have new names, but they are just as durable! Oxfords, are of course, the smartest shoes for street' wear, both in colors

and in white. Dark brown linen makes astonishingly stylish shoes, and with a pair of linen shoes, with sofes of some of the many new preparation, we may feel loyal and well dressed at the same time. Sports shoes of white duck or linen or pique are no longer novelties, and are so amendable to cleanings that they are a perpetual pleasure. Afternoon slippers of patent kid bow to the edict by sponsoring a vamp of braided satin and a satin bow. Evening slippers of metal cloth are still within the law, but capricious followers of fashion are rather tired of them, and are wearing slippers to, match frocks in satin, in a silk resembling surah, and In moire. But wth all our good resolutions we will all wear leather, so long as we

can get It Moeha Brown and Black oxfords are accepted as compliments to the uniform of blue serge to which most ef us are willing slaves. Buckskin In white, combined with colored kid trim, or in all white, forms the ideal shoe from which a shapely silk ankle should rise. And so leng aa the shop windows lure us with forbidden leathers, how can we "carry on" In our intentions? Delightfql are the new hose in sflk and wool, which come In changeable effects, or in stripes and cheeks. . Or they may be hand knit with splendid results and in colors to tone in with one's sports clothes. With white so much in evidence for skirts, the gay note is attractively introduced in hosiery and in sweaters. Even mules are conforming to (ashion, following as the newest one do. the Chinese fashion, of Pekin blue or black satin, they sponsor a design in embroidery and gold thread. Equally pretty ones are in the most delicate tints to follow up negligees.
