C0NRAn snNG RRCITAL.

Under the auspices of the Inter-
national Sunshine Society and
through the courtesy of the National
Society for Broader Education, the
Conrad song recitals will be given at
the New Century Club on Wednesday
and Thursday evenings of this week.
The plan of these concerts IS
unique in that all the music, both by
tone and thought serve to portray the
ideas contained in the titles: "Kisses
of the Springtime" and "Fruitage."
Mile. Conrad has reached the top
most line of success both in concert
and opera work. She has a sympa-
thetic voice of high range ard flute
like quality, which she controls to
best advantages in obtaining the
finest effects in tonal painting and
artistic finish.
To hear Conrad sing of the joy
the hopes and ambitions born with
the light of day, or the enjoyment in
communion with the birds and fow-
ers of the garden, or of the dreams
Of love and home that come when the
day is done and shadows creep, is a
treat never to be forgotten.
Her singing is characterized by
brilliancy, ease and clean cut enunci-
alton. Her every tone is a pearl
In manner she is sweet, charming
and vivacious. These qualities com.
bined with dramatic fire and a toucl
of the impersonator's art, win for hei
hearty applause.
The assisting artists will be Miss
Woytych, violinist, and Miss Laue
pianiste, and the combined work o
the trio leaves nothing to be desired

FOR USEhS OF THE K1. 1..OSENE LkM..

To begin with, always fill a kero- sene lamp on plotting paper. so that whatever oil overhows will be absorb ed, thus saving the table. IT at any time. you find your 1ampWeu almost empty, and you realize to your disnay that there is no oil in the. house, re- plenish the we'll with water. The presence of the water causes the oil to rise to the top, thus enabling the wick to become saturated with 1t.
 Your light will be just as bright and clear as ever. ~
 To prevent the odor Of kerosene from a lamp when lighted boil the wick in vinegar for 15 minutes once a month, then allow it to become per fectly dry before using. If this is done, it will never have an odor, ev- en when turned low, or blown out.
 When a lamp wick sticks, or will not go either up or down, pull out one or two threads on either side of it T1lis plan works when the wick is 8 trtfie large for the burner. It is best to starch and iron w1cks, then they be fitted into the burners without trouble A wick will burn more evenly if you snip a. tiny V in the center after the wick has been cut squareIy. When a lamp burner gets clogged, dip a cloth in hot water and wiring as dry as possible, then sprinkle Q little ammonia on it and rub the burner. This will also help to give a better light.
 Put all new cIinneys in a pail of cold water, add some common salt, put on the fire to boil for a couple of hours, and cool slowly. If given this treatment, a chimney will resist any sudden change of temperature and consequently will last twice as long as an ordinary one. Have you ever tried drying lamp chitnueys on hot raldta- tor or on the back of the stove? It works like a charm. Wash and rinse them in hot water. Stand them on the radiator on a dry cloth. or Tn a wire dish draIner on the stove The glass will be clean. dry and bright. When it is necessary to handle a hot lamp chimney, roll a newspaper loose 1y. bend the roll in the middle and place the loop around the chimney. Then both ends may be grasped with one. hand in such a manner that the hot chimney will be in perfect con trol without being directly touched There is no danger of being burned if you hold the paper firmly so that you do not drop the chimney.
 A word Of caution about the kero- seine can Unless the spigot is turn ed off very carefully each time, it is apt to drip and saturate the noor or bench, making an ugly stain and a dangerous place if match happens to drop there. it is heater and safer made of a tin gcans with two holes punched near the top to hold 2 wire handle by which ts hang 1t on the faucet Melt om the top of the tin can and bend out a *t1a place to act. as mouth for empty1ng the drip back into the big can. An additional pre- caution is to keep several thIcknesses of newspaper under the can. If these set soaked. they will mako good kind- ling.
