4 WINNETKA WEEKLY TALK, SATURDAY, JUNE 13 1925 MATZENAUER TO APPEAR IN RECITAL PROGRAM (Continued from Page 1) mmusicianship is far superior to any singer we know of, and thus she de- serves the title of 'the greatest living .contralto." People to whom her Juno «cast of beauty with its rich Oriental «colouring does not appeal are instinc- tively impressed by the goddess-like pose and harmonious gestures of the woman. She is a cathedral not a bun- galow, and the bungalow type is, thanks to the general decadence of taste nowadays, more admired. But a cathedral is dramatic and Matzenauer belongs to the grand old dramatic school of Lilli Lehmann, Milka Ter- nina, and Olive Fremstad." Widely Known Concertist Matzenauer has given concerts in al- most every country in Europe. Wher- ever she has sung winning great ova- tions, and establishing instantly the fact that she is quite unique in her field. She is an artist whose emotional qualities have as their foundation a depth and a sincerity that all classes of music lovers feel, whether it be the erudite music critic worn out with me- diocrity or the inarticulate music lover, slim of purse, but thoroughly capable of appreciating and enjoying the finest utterances of the great masters.

THE CALL OF THE OUTDOORS By Will Dilg (President, Isaak Walton League of America) SEAGULLS AND DUCKS It was my fortune to witness from my office window the other day one of the most interesting wild life in- cidents I have ever seen. My office is in Chicago, just outside of the congest- ed business district, on the shore of Lake Michigan. During the wild- fowl migrations great flocks of ducks stop here--the fish ducks to do a little fishing, and the others to take a rest en route. The other day there were no less than 5000 American mergansers out on the lake in two or three great flocks. They were all dressed up in their flashing black and white spring plum- age, and they made a beautiful sight. It was interesting to watch them dive for fish. Several hundred would all move in one direction, slowly at first, then as fast as they could swim. Sud- denly they would dive. As they dove, each one sent up a little spurt of water, and the spray glistened in the sunlight. They were following and diving for little fish that swam in schools. All would go down at once excepting a few that remained on top to watch. In a minute or so they would bob up again so rapidly that the flock seemed to ap- pear magically on the surface. A number of big Great Lakes gulls were hovering about. They were steal- ing fish from the ducks. As soon as a bunch of ducks dove, the gulls would gather over them. As the ducks ap- peared, some of them with fish in their bills, the gulls would attack them. For a few minutes the air would be full of big gulls, flapping their wide-spread wings like mad, pouncing on the poor ducks. The gulls are surface feeders and do not dive for their food. So they let the ducks do the diving. The ducks would make frantic efforts to get away, but they were at a disadvantage. Be- coming weary of this consistent piracy, a thousand or so of the mergansers would fly away to a new feeding ground. But the gulls followed them wherever they went. It seemed to me that this was a rather lazy and cowardly way for the gulls to get their dinner. I laughed at the unfortunate ducks as they dropped their hard earned fish for the gulls to pick up. Still, if the ducks had flown over the city a bit and used their eves, they might have wondered why I laughed. --Published in the Interest of Win- netka Chapter, Isaak Walton league. Police Win Praise for Rescue of Boy on Lake Chief Peterson and his police depart- ment were in receipt of a letter this week voicing the sincere appreciation of Dr. and Mrs. Ben Earle Fillis, Tower road and Gordon terrace, for the promptness and efficiency with which the police and other agencies proceeded in the rescue of their son, Ben, and boy companions who were carried far out on the lake in a row boat Wednes- day of last week. "Words fail in an effort to tell you and your staff our appreciation for the retuin of Ben," reads the letter. "Mrs. Fillis and I and our friends sincerely appreciate your efforts in helping to locate our boy, adrift on Lake Michi- gan, last Wednesday night. "If there is a further way in which we may show our appreciation, kindly suggest." Young Fillis, with Leonard and Paul Laverne, also of Winnetka, went out on the lake in a rowboat last Wednes- day with a single oar as their only means of propulsion. A high wind carried them far from shore and their plight 'was soon called to the atten- tion of the local police and the coast guards of Chicago, Evanston and Great ILakes. They were brought ashore at Highland Park.
