AT THE ILLINOIS.

Lyman H. Howe's Travel Festival,
which comes to the Illinois Wednes-
day and Thursday may be depended
upon to furnish varied amount of
amusement and education that far
surpasses anything else that civiliza-
ton has to offer. To thoroughly scan
magazines. books and libraries re-
quires years of toll and study. Mu-
seums and galleries lack the vitalizing
elements of life and action, and be-
sides they are too formal to make
such a direct appeal to the eye and
mind as does Mr.. Howe's unique exhi-
bition The drama is too artificial to
be compared at all with life's realities
as presented in the Lyman II. Howe
Travel Festival. Consequently those
who travel with Howe" derive all
the delights of other means OF Gull
ture and amusement without their de-
fects. To enjoy and understand the
brilliant scenes requires no research
or preparation. They speak eloquent
ly in a universal language.
In his entirely new program Mr..
Howe promises one of the most de-
lightful picture journeys he has ever
presented 1t will take local Howe
travellers" to Venice-the city of the
sea- The series is unique-because
Venice is unique. All other cities in
the world resemble each other in
many respects, but Venice alone re-
mains Distinctive city of romance
where poetry conquers prose. And 1t
is exactly this poetic beauty of Ven
ice that Howe's film conveys exquis-
itely OF course, the new program
includes numerous other noteworthy
features such as a descent into the
crater of Vesuvius where spectators
peer down into a vast abyss of boiling
lava Then there is a thrilling ride
on a runaway train. This, too, is
descent, but at an appalling rate Of
speed down the mountain side and
around curves-the train increasing in
momentum at every foot until spec
tators are transfixed in suspense as
to Just how such an eventful trip will
end. The mysterious development or
flowers; the grace and beauty Of ma
lures handiwork during the growth or
plants; the fascinating formations
caused by the electrolysis of metals,
and a railroad ride through Greece
are only few of the many other fea-
lures to be presented. In addition
there will be those amusing, clever
animated cartoons which always form
such a pleasant diversion

DOLLAR TRANSFER
TO Be 0UTLAWED?
War Tax May Eliminate This
Fee but Will Charge Accord
ing to Size of Property.
WILL GIVE IDEA BUSINESS
New System viii Make Possible Com
putation of Amount OF Realty
Which Changes Hands.

The war tax which will go into ef-
feet on Dec. 1, it is said, will outlaw
the 81 transfer, when deeds are filed
for record in the recorders ONCE,
but Recorder Sam Ryerson of this
county said this morning that he had
received no ruling to that effect. The
war tax, while it outlaws the 81 trans
fer fee, places a tax of 81 on every
$1,000 worth of property transferred.
In Davenport preparations have al
ready been made to outlaw the 81
transfer and supplement with a tax
of so cents for every $500 worth OF
property transferred.
1T is not considered that this condi-
ton will work any considerable hard
ship on the realty trade. There is no
reason for it's employment so deep
seated that its becoming unlawful will
cause prospective sellers or buyers of
property to hold up deals until the
war tag has been abandoned.
viii Allow Computing.
The change will allow the comput-
ing of one statistical item that has
not been discoverable since the 81
transfer came into popularity-the ap-
proximate business really done in
realty in a given time. With between
As and So per cent of the transfers
heretofore naming the nominal con-
sideration, it has been impossible even
to approximate how much money
changed hands in the movement OF
real property.
The tax on warranty deeds, which
will be in the form of stamp levy,
will be so cents on the first $500, and
so cents on each additional $500. The
stamps will be on sale at the county
recorders office, according to present
intentions.

USEFUL COOKING HINTS.

Leftover biscuits can be made
fresh by dipping in water, then place
in baking pan in hot oven and left
for a few minutes.
When beating eggs for icing, after
they have started to froth add one
or two tablespoons of cold water and
you will have double the quantity of
icing.
You can use an ounce and half
of flour instead of cornstarch when
you want to.
You want winter wheat flour for
pie crusts.
Peanut butter mixed with little
cream or milk will go much farther
and be more palatable.
You can use the water the potato
is cooked in to make gravy If you
haven't milk.
Crate cheese on top OF poached
eggs; it is pretty as well as good.
In baking loaf cake always re-
member that unless you place piece
of paper over top for protection at
first top crust will at once be formed
that prevents raising. When cake is
well raised remove paper.
Wilted vegetables should be soaked
in cold water before being cooked in
boiling sailed water.

JENNIE DUFAU IS
HEARD IN RECITAL
Prima Donna Opens Course of
Concerts at Illinois With
Pleasing Reading.

Jenny Dufau, prima donna colora-
tura soprano with the Chicago-Phila-
delphia Grand Opera company, and an
attractive, vivacious French woman,
delighted a large audience last even
ing at the Illinois, appearing in song
recital with Charles Lurvey at the
piano. She appeared under the aus
pieces of the Augustana conservatory
of music, giving the first number in
a series of concerts arranged under
the direction of that institution.
Miss Dufau presented a program or
no great pretensions, but composed in
stead of comparatively simple melo-
dies that entertain and please. Her
opening number was an aria from
Barber of Seville" (RossinD, a group
of four songs in English following;
Irish Love Song on. Ruthven Lang,
Down In the Forest o.. Ronald),
Take. o Take" (Bennett), and ITO
Messenger" IF. La FORGE. These
were light and pretty songs with which
the average audience is most familiar
and therefore well received. Then
followed a group of four French songs:
"Printemps Nouveau" CP. VidaD,
"Chanson de Solvejg" (Grieg), ''Viens
Mon Bienaime" (Chaminade}, and
Willamette" (Del Acqua). The last
of this group seemed to fit exactly the
peculiar qualities of her voice and
she appeared to best advantage in it.
She warbled and trilled and sustained
her tones remarkably and with perfect
technic Valse from 'Juliette ct Ro-
meo" (Gounod) followed, and the
closing group was composed of Il
Wish i Were a Tiny Bird" H. Lohr)
1.-The Leaves and the Wind" UeonD 4,
and Little Derry" (SeppillD. The
audience seemed pleased with her pro-
gram and she was enthusiastically re-
called after each group and very gra-
ciously gave the extra numbers.
Miss Dufau has a voice that is re-
ally wonderful for its coloratura quail
tiles. She MARBLES like a bird and has
remarkable power of sustaining her
tone clearly and beautifully and gives
a most pleasing Interpretation of her
numbers. Her tones, however, at
times seem hard, almost harsh, and
this detracts from an otherwise splen-
did performance.
Mr.. Lurvey at the piano was. as
usual, good, following closely the ev-
cry emotion of the singer and as on
previous appearances with artists that
have appeared in the city, played a
svmpathetic accompaniment

Workmen are in demand at a mini
mum wage of SO on a branch of the
government owned railroads in Nor
way. Difficulty Is being experienced
to find laborers. This shortage is said
to be due in part to mobilization of the
army, but it is pointed out as an indi-
cation of the prosperous condition of
the country that with even a small
percentage of the population In idle
ness, workmen cannot be induced to
leave the towns and cities even when
offered good wages.
