SPECIAL AID SOCIETY 
Thousands of Massachusetts women 
are now active members of the Spe- 
cial Aid society for American Pre- 
paredness and the growth of this so- 
ciety is almost unparalled. Separate 
branches, with complete organization, 
are now located in over 60 Massa- 
chusetts cities and towns and five or 
6 new branches are added every 
month. Prominent society women 
are putting their money, time and 
strength into the work which has for 
its object, “to encourage and promote 
patriotic education, sentiment and ser- 
yice among the people ; and to aid in 
the establishment and maintenance of 
the National Defense.” Mrs. Barrett 
Wendall of Boston and Pride’s Cross- 
ing is state president. 
Headquarters are at 601 Boylston 
t., Boston, where free literature may 
be secured upon request. Classes are 
now under way in which complete 
training is given for women who will 
give a specified number of hours per 
week for the work of any emergency 
or call from the State. Classes are 
formed for the study of first aid, 
hore nursing under the Red Cross, 
surgical dressings, food preparation, 
telegraphy, wireless, stenography and 
motor service. The latter department 
is in active service being regularly en- 
rolled by Adj. General Pearson for 
NORTHYSHORE BREEZE 
use by the State in case of mobiliz- 
ation or any emergency. ‘The owners 
furnish their own cars and gasoline 
and pay all the expense of running 
he car, besides driving it emealyes 
daily from 9 a. m. to 5 p.m. Drivers 
will be in regulation uniform and 
every car will carry an officer, so that 
each lady is guaranteed absolute pro- 
tection. These cars are assigned to 
the commanding officer of each regi- 
ment for emergency service and quick 
transportation. 
The Special Aid society cooperates 
in every way with the Red Cross or 
other relief work and has already 
proven to be an organization to which 
every patriotic woman may be proud 
to belong. The classes are under the 
charge of what is called the ‘‘active 
corps” with headquarters at 409 Marl- 
boro st., Boston, where complete in- 
formation and literature may be ob- 
tained free. Fees for membership in 
the Special Aid society or “active 
corps” have been placed so low that 
every woman in the state may be- 
come a member. 
EMi1io DE GoGoRzA. 
Music lovers in this vicinity will

When Emilio de Gogorza will sing.

That Emilio de Gogorza is the excep- 
tion among male singers is now an 
established fact with the music-going 
public of this country. Commenting 
on this topic, Mr. Parker, in the Bos- 
ton Transcript, says: “de Gogorza 
gives some recitals and finds a public 
eager for them. ‘There is, indeed, no 
obvious reason in the quality of the 
male voice or in the art of song why 
a baritone or a tenor or a bass should 
not give such recitals. Again Mr. de 
Gogorza is the exception, for he, at 
least, may count upon his audiences. 
3oston hears him gladly.” The entire 
musical community now _ reechoes 
Boston’s sentiment, and everywhere 
de Gogorza is acknowledged the ex- 
ception among singers of his sex. A 
voice that can stand the strain of a 
program of twenty songs and arias, 
such as he will give here, is found in 
only few singers today, de Gogorza’s 
tones are even richer than when he 
was last heard here. Clearness, 
depth, sensuous warmth, variety of 
tonal color and unaffected masculinity 
make his a compelling voice. It is in- 
dividual and not to be resisted. 
Some people are always spoiling 
nice peaceful silence. 
Wisdom is ofttimes nearer when 
we stoop, than when we soar.—IlVads- 
worth.
