Schumann-Heink’s Life Is Told By Brother of Anaheim Woman The second and concluding installment of the series started last week on Madam Schumann-Heink follows: Still quoting Henry T. Finck: Everybody knows how grateful Schumann-Heink has been to Americans for taking her to their hearts. “Grau, with his keen eyes for stars, brought her to New York, on a contract based in part on her German earnings. ‘When she made a sensation at her Metropolitan debut, he tore up that contract and gave her a much better one. Grau was a gentleman. ‘To be sure, he had his peculiarities. Jean de Reszke once said to me: ‘Grau will give you a cigar — but he won't give you a match.’ ‘One day the newspapers brought the agreeable news that Schumann-Heink had become an American citizen. ‘She did not lament this step during the war when she had to let her sons go and fight the Germans. (Mr. Finck no doubt knew that at the same time some of her German sons were fighting on the other side.)’ “Like Paderewski, she has a branch in California, where she raises extremely high-brow oranges, judging by a sample box she once sent me. (Mr. Finck knew high-brow in his time than Henry C. Finck. The able son of the able father, when at 18 he entered Harvard with only the preparation received by the colony teachers, went into the sophomore year by examination in Greek, Latin, German and French. Such a thing had not happened before, nor has it happened since. At Harvard his skill in playing the violincello became a bridge by means of which he entered the best society of the university city, Cambridge, including the home of Longfellow, at which he spent many happy evenings playing with one of his daughters. Also his instrument opened the door for the Aurora boy to the home of William Dean Howells. Later, in the period when he had the department on the Saturday Evening Post, he became well acquainted with Robert G. Ingersoll, the agnotic, and Henry Ward Beecher, the great preacher. Henry T. Finck wrote in his last book: “Robert Ingersoll had a sense of humor and laughed heartily at the jokes told on him. ‘His friend Henry Ward Beecher is alleged to have asked him one day playfully: ‘When you die, what poet's name will your fate suggest?’ Answer, ‘Robert Burns.’ ‘On another occasion Ingersoll is supposed to have called on Beecher. While waiting for his appearance he admired a splendid...’ (Mr. Finck no doubt knew that at the same time some of her German sons were fighting on the other side.) "Like Paderewski, she has a ranch in California, where she raises extremely high-brow oranges, judging by a sample box she once sent me. (Mr. Finck knew high-brow California oranges, too, for he had a sister at Anaheim (she is still there)—where the writing brother spent many summer months in his time. "After one of her recitals in New York I introduced to her a girl who was among my pupils in the Brooklyn Master School of Music. "She promptly saw a chance to do something nice for an American. 'Come to see me at my hotel tomorrow morning,' she said. "The girl went, but found the great contralto depressed over a newspaper notice. "'Come to my place in New Jersey on Friday and remain till Monday,' said the singer. "The girl did so and what she learned in those three days was worth more than a whole year's course in the best conservatory. "Full-blooded contraltos seem to have a natural inclination toward big families. Madame Schumann-Heink's family is numerous. "A big family is also owned by the 'American-born Schumann-Heink,' Louise Homer, also a member of the Metropolitan Opera Company." All the world knows of the death in Hollywoodlands, of Madame Schumann-Heink. And all the world mourns her loss. The father of Henry T. Finck was Henry C. Finck, music master of the Keil colony. He trained the bands and orchestras of the colony, in Bethel, Mo., and Aurora, Oregon. There were few if any abler musicians "Robert Ingersoll had a sense of humor and laughed heartily at the jokes told on him. 'His friend Henry Ward Beecher is alleged to have asked him one day playfully: 'When you die, what poet's name will your fate suggest?' Answer, 'Robert Burns.' "On another occasion Ingersoll is supposed to have called on Beecher. While waiting for his appearance he admired a splendid globe in the great preacher's library. When the preacher entered, the Colonel said: 'Who made this globe?' "With ready wit and a mischievous smile Beecher answered: 'Nobody.'" The boss of the family is the one who tells the others to do something and then does it over to make sure it's done right. Americanism: Making it tough for the drunk driver; doing nothing to the important citizen who drives like a drunk. Van de Kamp's 185 W. Center, Anaheim, Calif.

PLENTY OF GOOD LUMBER We Stock Grade Marked Lumber During the depression good lumber was forced into the background when price became the chief consideration. But in the great revival of building in 1936, due to the building of Quality Homes, and the higher standards set by FHA and other regulations, and the consciousness that long-life in the structure requires quality materials, today quality is a predominant factor. In lumber, quality means using the grade best suited to use in construction to which it is put. For Example You may need Dense Structural if building a factory or warehouse for housing heavy machinery or heavy loads. For homes, No. 1 common and No. 2 common are the lowest grades which the Federal Housing Administration recommends or permits builders to use under their insured loans. While No. 3 is all right for temporary structures on the farm or in cabins, where low cost is a deciding element.

FLOODS, FREEZES & STRIKES — WILL THEY RAISE PRICES? In our opinion, YES! Foods, freezes, and labor difficulties usually have vast economic effects. It seems certain to us that the present major disturbances in the production and distribution of merchandise MUST bring about extensive raises in prices. Already, notices have been received from some manufacturers that reorders of foodstuffs will be at new higher levels of cost. Safeway has well stocked warehouses; acres of floor space filled with goods of all kinds. Thousands of dollars worth of foods are on hand that we bought at reasonable prices. Safeway's selling prices on these goods are being held down as long as possible. But even our quantities are limited. Retail price advances seem inevitable.
