tiOnal government in endeavoriDg to
keep the Hessian fly out of the wheat

NOT BOON EXPECTED
Uses of Denatured Alcohol Are
Practically Limited.
Com missioner of Internal Revenue

The whole country, particularly the
west, will be much chagrined at the news
brought by Internal Revenue Commits
sioner John W. 1erkes to the effect that
the uses OF denatured alcohol are practi.
| cally limited and that the act Of congress
removing the tariff on that article will
not be the boon to the people expected
His observations on this subject were
made while abroad.
Commissioner Yerkes went abroad to
study the government regulations of the
manufacture and sale OF alcohol for do
mestlc purposes, limited practically to
the alcohol lamp for the table, the heat

etc. 1t is not yet used for purposes of

power as IN America-gasoline- use
lt because 1t does the work better and
cheaper. There are in Germany some
uses OF alcohol for power, but it is
charged that it's use results in damaging
rust to machinery. Investigation, how
ever, convinced the commissioner that
this hadsbeen much exaggerated.
The future Of alcohol for domestic and
power purposes is in the hands of the
people. If American inventive genius is
able to produce machinery that will effect.

Commissioner Yerkes' account OF the

thusiastic tone OF an immense volume OF
literature that was circulated in this
country last winter. The use of alcohol

They have so called farm distilleres in
Germany, where big farmers make alec

and England nothing analogous to this
method has developed; most alcohol
there is made in big plants, as in this
country.

At the Ridgewmy,

One OF the musical novelties which will
be seen in "The Royal Chef" at the
Ridgeway Theater, Thursday, September
l3, will be an electric lighted feather boa.
This il the invention OF Mr.. Gus Sohlke,
who produced 'The Royal Chef for the
Messrs. Shubert. The boa is used in the
opening number of the second act and
on darkened stage. The boas, which
are worn by the girls, light up in varied
colors, giving a Kaleidoscope effect to
the setting. Another electric novelty is
the umbrella, which is used in the last
act. This umbrella is one of the trick
mechanisms of the stage. II is 16 feet
in diameter and descends from the flies,
opening out as it comes down. The
audience can see nothing upon which the
umbrella is supported, and it sails down
like bird in its fight, the girls holding
ribbons which hang from the epokes OF
the umbrella, dancing around it may
pole fashion. At a signal, the umbrella
lights up with 262 tiny incandescent
lights OF varied colors. 1t is one Of the
prettiest electrical effects ever seen on
the stage and is one of the many bright
features Of this entertaining musical
comedy.
Following "The Royal Chef we will
have Hi Henry's famous MINISTRIES.

The Musical Review OF San Francisco
writes Of Arthur Frazer:
"Mr. Frazer played with inborn
musical feeling and taste, as was shown
by his pedaling and his careful attention
to tOnal gradatiOns. His technique was
fully adequate to all demands made up
on it, and both his appearance and per
formance is that OF the young artist !"
In an account of a recent concert, the
Eugene, Oregon, Register says:
This was his first opportunity OF
showing the pubic just what he has
gained during his study in Germany and
even his best friends were amazed to see
what advancement he has made. .
The Schumann 'Carnival' afforded ex-
cellent opportunity for showing how per
fectly he has entered into the spirit OF
the composer, and been carried along by
him through the various moods and
faDcies."
