The Difficulty of Sounding Ver tain Words On High Notes, Englielt as is commonly sung hoe become so hard to understand that musical authorittee are °meetly seek- ing a remedy. And the composer is principally to blame, says Francis Toye, writing in the London Natten. "That there are difficulties in sing- ing •certain English syllablete on cer- tain notes may be admitted," says Mr. Teye. "English, unlike German and Italian, is not predominantly a Ian- geage of broad vowel sounds. It is aftward, for instance, to sing 'fix' or ter' or 'sun,' with a loud, sustained tone oh a high note. But k composers knew their business they would not, save in any exceptional circumstances, ask the singer to do anything or the kind. "Half the imaginary difficulties of singing English arise from the Mem- petence of many composers in setting It to music. They seem neither to think in terms of engine aor to study the natural ryhthm of the language. When they do, the 'problems' of sing. Ing in English vanish like the mist Defore the sun." • • • Nearly all children are subject to worms, and many are born with them.

You, ot course, know that a diamond is SO bard that it will scrotch glass, but perhaps you have not heard that jade is also extremely tough and will cut glase and quartz. Because of its great hardnees the man who carves it must possess vast patience, and per- sistence to'earve designe in jade.
