Much attention is being attracted at
the 7. NJ. c. A. by a big map of the
city which was put up yesterday,
showing in a graphic manner the dis
tribution of the membership of the as
sociation. The members are indicated
by pins, placed according to residence
addresses. 1t is interesting to note
that the largest proportion of mem
bers come from the district within
seven blocks of the building. The
block of Nineteenth street, between
Fourth and Fifth avenues, shows the
thickest collection of pins, except for
the Y. NJ. c. A. building itself, where
there are so many members living that
there is not room to place enough pins
TO show them. The map has been pre-
pared as an aid to the membership
committee in their efforts to secure
several hundred new members within
the next few days
The membership of the boys depart
ment is not shown on the map. but
will be added later.

PATTEN TO CONDUCT HIS ORA
TORIO ISAIAH.

Willard Patten who comes to Angus
tana college next Tuesday evening tC
conduct his own oratorio, Isaiah. is
a man who has won distinction as a
composer in this country. A man past
the middle age, he nevertheless gives
to all he does and writes a youthful
enthusiasm which attracts and holds
those with whom he comes in contact.
He was one of the pioneers in the mus
ical advancement of the northwest.
and his activities as director, teacher
and composer covering some 80 years
have done much to make the city of
Minneapolis the musical center it is
today.
Professor Victor Bergquist had the
privilege of hearing the oratorio,
Isaiah, which Mr.. Patten comes to Au-
gustana college to conduct, at its mi
tial performance some Is or 16 years
ago, and remembers very vividly the
impression left by the work at that
time. Some of the most prominent
critics of the east, the late w. S. B.
Matthews and others came to Mime,
apolis to be present at the perform
ance and spoke in the highest terms
of the work. Mr.. Patterns latest work
of any note is an opera which few of
his select friends had the privilege of
hearing in concert form in the parlor
of one of the big hotels of Minneapo-
lis. This was three years ago, and
Mr.. Patton is now engaged in complet-
ing the same, and securing a produc-
ton of it. 1t was very well received
by the few musicians gathered

THINGS WORTH KNOWING.

When washing woodwork for re.
painting, use no soap, but wash with
soda and water. If soap is used the
new paint will not dry so quickly.
Sprinkling clothes before they are
taken from the line will save great
deal of time and work. Just before
unpinning them from the line take a
whisk broom and sprinkle them
evenly. A clean whisk broom should
be kept for this purpose.
The odor of grease after frying
can be driven out by the odor of cof-
fee burned on top of the stove.
Egg stains on table linen should
be soaked out in cold water, not hot,
before washing.

"a II you have granulated eyelids
