many friends and admirers In this

fully appreciated:
MRS. Whites songs have recent

the acceptance Of the work by the
public has been most Enthusiastically
encouraging.

songs Of simple content. musically,
but with wealth OF beautiful har-
mony, and In each case sustaining Z

feet adaptability to the voice.

is song big enough for any con-
cert purpose.
All of the songs are graceful and
compact, and the impression Is gain
ed through reading them at the piano
that in concert form they would be
immensely successful, and that what
ever else comes from Mrs. Whites
pen may confidently be expected to
be both beautiful and glowing. A
complete list of the songs may be
had by addressing c. w. Thompson

Fire Alarms for DEBORAH.

The matter of an adequate fire
alarm system has been an important
one in DEBORAH since the electric
light company closed down its local
steam plant, The tower in the city
hall is unsatisfactory, and many citi-
zens have been looking about for
a good alarm. An electric apparatus
that looks feasible, invented by a
Massachusetts man and illustrated in
a recent magazine, has been sug-
gested, and the matter is being in
vestigated. A gong has also been
placed on the weather service flag
pole at the Ben Bear corner, to no.
tify the police in case of fire. The
touching of an electric button at the
central telephone office sounds the
gong, and the police on the street
hearing it, will ring the bell in the
city hall tower. 1t is to be hoped,
however, that a more efficient alarm
may soon be found.

Luther Defeated by S. U. /.

The State University basket ball
team scored another victory over the
l.. c. aggregation last Thursday eve
ming at the college auditorium. The
score, as on former occasions, was
close-19 to 15-and had luck
swerved but a little Luther's way,
the score might easily have been
reversed. The game from the very
start was played furiously, and while
Luther proved just as aggressive as
S. U. L., the latter covered up bet
ter and showed the best defensive
work. Iowa practically won the
game in the last few minutes of play
during the first half, by simply
sweeping the local college team off
their feet and scoring four baskets,
making the score for the LIST half II
to 3 in their favor. l.. c. has the
consolation of outplaying the Iowans
in the closing half, scoring II to
Iowa's s, but they started the rally
too late, and again a basket ball
victory must be recorded for the
manipulating team from Iowa City.

Detecting Tuberculosis.

tuberculosis among cattle and
swine has increased rapidly during
the last few years. 1t is becoming
generally recognized fact that
something must be done to check
the spread of this malady.' Before
anything definite can be done in the
way of preventive measures, some
sure method of detecting the disease
must be available. The tuberculin
test is the only means that has been
discovered so far by which the dis
ease can be detected with certainty
in live animal. This test has been
much abused and misrepresented. In
Bulletin No. 1917 of the Iowa Expert
ment Station, DR.. STANCE shows the
fallacy of the stand taken by those
who oppose the test, and proves that
it is reliable when properly admin
istered by citing a long list of ex-
periments which the Veterinary Sec
ton has conducted along this line.
The latter part of the bulletin
gives the results that have been OBJ
'ained in quarantin.ng affected ami
mails and using them for breeding
purposes. Condensed reports of eX-
perimerts that nave been conducted
by the Animal Husbandry Section to
determine whether or not tuber ~
Iosis can be transmitted from cat .e
to hogs are also given. This bulletin
is a mine of information to stocd-
men and others interested in the tu-
berculosis problem. Copies can be
obtained free as long as the supply
