The city of Dur ham s decision t otake the .offensive n the fight which the Durham Trac tion Company has heretofore been making for ten cent car fare is ex petted to be followed by other muni cipalities in the State. If any concerted effort is made on the part of the cities for a reduction rather than an increase there Is every reason to believe that the State Cor poration Commission will not be found boosting the fare at "every turn of the road" as one official er pressed it. The commission "does not nlways listen to the popular" voice any more than does'. Colonel Aus Watts, commissioner of Tevenue, and it cannot be successfully contended tha tall of the rulings handed down by the three corporation commission ers have been popular.

CARUSO PERFECT Throat Spedalste Compares His Throat wth Other. Great Sing ers t)f ttie:World. London, Sept. 6- William Lloyd, throat specialist, 'who far-many years treated Caruso, , writes to the Daily Mail that, comparing him with other great singers, he found the following characteristics of the perfect singing machine. - "The most striking feature-was the great length of the voca tube, the distance from the teeth' to the vocal cords, in Caruso was at least half an inch more than in any other gTeat tenor I have examined. "A second point was the length off the vocal cords, on. whose length breadth and thickness the pitch of tht 4 voice largely .depends . The average length of the relaxed vocal cords in p man. is 18 millimeters (about 3-4 in.). Caruso's vocal cords were 1-6 in. longer than those fof any other tenor I have seen. r "The x capacity for vibration of the voca-cords is another most important factor, for the higher the note the more rapid must be the vibration Caruso when singing his wonderful chest C. sharp reached the phenome- f-nal vibration for a man of .550 per second. "Saruso's whole body seemed to have more average resonance and one of the great secrets of'hsi Wonderful voicewas. the formation of the epi glottis, which was 'thick at the base a. in bassos, but exquisitelv- fine and delicate vat the fre end.
