Holton, Mrs. A. Rogers," OAKLAND CorKPfand Franklin Sts. Sings Before Large Oakland Audience in Program of Lieder and Arias. 'All that is elemental and fine In the connotation of the term Teutonio Is hound up in the personality ot Mme.

Ernestine Schumann-Heink. Her art Is as fundamental as a German forest and as complex and intricate as a gothic cathedral. As the architecture of a gothic cathedral and the beauty of a forest are emsnntlons from the veritable heart of nature, so this great singer is herself the highest expression In the art of song. Mme. Schumann-Heink sang, before a arge Oakland andlence Ye Liberty playhouse yesterday 1 afternoon.

Her prograjn was not as well chosen as programs Ehe-has given Jn this city, hor as well chosen as those of other song-recitalists who have appeared recently. But despite this fact the Rrt and personality of the singer overrode and mastered circumstance, and Mme. Pchlimann-Hetnk appeared greater for having achieved supreme art in the face of obstacles. Her voice is not quite what it; was a few years ago. although that wondrous purity of tone, the noble legato and the admir able restraint are still there.

In rapid forte passages something of the old flexibility is lacking, but where the scoring is. for lyric the tone has lost rfone of its old clarity, Tld colorlnS" and delicate' nuance. CAI'SEvS FOR WORSHIP. Mme. Rchumann-Helnk's vocaliza tion is little less than A miracle.

But it Is not her voice ind her art that nave Drougnt worsnipers to ner reec. It is the woman. It is difficult to get away from the thought of her high ancestry, Hers Is a. magnificent, all-embracing wOrh'anhood the gentleness, pity and wide-reaching laughter? loving humor bound up in the full meaning of the word mother, with the mature Intelligence that looks out calm-eyed and masterful upon life and Its trials triumphs. She sounded the depths of sorrow, the sorrow of a mother over the death of her child In a Grieg dirge.

She voiced Joy in fellowship with God In that magnifi cent Bach carol, "My Hssjt Ever Faithful." She declsflnsed majestically the great Erda scene from Wagner's Das Rhelngold." And when the au dience clumsily ruined a sprightly little encore for her she laughed heartily and good naturedly at them and with them, as though they were her awkward, all-too-wllling children. WAGNER'S STAR WANING. The program opened with three "Wagner numbers. But "even in Ger many the star of Wagner wanes, and German critics In the last few weeks have compared and contrast Verdi and Wagner, to the derogation of the home giant It was not in the Wagner numbers that MadaAie Schumann-Heink was at her best. She reached the ultimate of fine singing in the great Bach number, gave some won derful readings of four Beethoven lieder, and sang the seventeenth century ballad, "When the Roses Bloom" with wonderful delicacy and under standing.

I Ronald's "Down In the Forest." was repeated In response to demand, as was the wonderful Bach number. Miss Nina Fletcher, a young violinist, is with Madame Schumann-Heink. She'trendered the Minor sonata of Johann Sebastian, Bach in muslclanly style, lacking only that broad and noble, deliberation that marks the ma-t3 Bach interpreter, and gave a Venetian- valse flawlessly. The "Preis-Iled" Wagner-WilhelmDr was also well played. Mrs.

Katharine Hoffmann proved a satisfactory and unob trusive accompanist, although she lacks precision and is not quite satis factory in her handling of the rhyth mic values. OLNEY ARNOLD SUCCEEDS P. A. JAYBER IN EGYPT CAIRO, Nov. 15.

SHE WASN'T PRETTY, SO PREFERRED DEATH KANSAS CITY. Nor. IB. The great regret of Gertrude Munagle's life was that she was not pretty. At least, she believed she was not, and that waa the same th'ng to her.

She looked aboutLber every day and saw that kindnesses for which, she would have worked her fingers' ends off came easily and naturally to girls who were beautiful. Bhe worried over It, and the worry made her bitter and nervous, and, at 28, sent her to' the general hospital. Still she worried about- it. A week ago yesterday she waa taken to the state hospital for the Insane In St. Joseph.

"Ooodby," she told attendants at the general hospital. "The first chance I get I'm going to commit suicide. Life Isn't worth living when you're ugly."

WASHINGTON'. Nov. 16, Substitution of fruit, vegetable snd "greanji''x for "patent medicine laxatives" la urged on the people of the United States In a report made today by a apeclallst In the plant Industry bureau of the Department of Agrlsulture.

In the "balanced ration of many Americans" this specialist gives "patent medicine laxatives" a placeof prominence. In a menu "more In keeping with nature's plan" the medicine Is omitted and fruit, vegetables and "greens" are recom mended. In fact, tills speotsUst recommends that every family provide a diet of fruit and vegetables for every day In the year. re home canning, done at the proper season, would enable the average family always to have the proper quantity of canned products, he says, and would save an astonishing amount of food that goes to waste every yesr. It Is estimated that more than SO per cent of all the vegetables, greens, fruit tind berries that grow in this country go to waste and are actually lost to those who need them.

This Is simply because housewives have not learned to care for these surplus products efficiently and, to make them available for the winter months by canning. That home canning may reduce the coat of living la not generally appreciated. Even those who are aooustomed to use a supply of canned goods In the winter, do not realise that they sometimes pay transportation on goods from distant parts of the country, when there is surplus of the earns product in their own vicinity in the summer months, which might have been saved by home canning.
