MYRTLE ELvYN AS AN ARTIST.

Myrtle Elyyn, who plays at the Mo
line theatre Friday evening. Jan. 20,
is one OF the most brilliant of the
younger modern pianists and during
the past two years has developed
greatly as a serious artist. She is
much in demand throughout the coun-
try so the Moline Music Teachers as.
sociation is glad to be able to present
Miss Elvyn on their course. Being q
woman of great personal beauty and
also socially successful. there is likely
to be a full house of tri-city musicians

whose work has won the highest
praise from both European and Amer
lean critics. Especially has her
Schumann playing been noted and
her wonderful performance of the
Sextet from Lucia for left hand alone.
Miss Mary Lindsay-Oliver has just re
ceived a letter from Miss Elvyn ask
ing if any special numbers are de-
sired on the program for the 29th and

Why Does an Onion Make the Tears
Come?

That is natures way of protecting
the eyes from the smarting which the
onion would cause in your eyes il the
tears did not come quickly, and over
come the bad effects so produced
Tears are provided for washing the
ball OF your eyes. Every time you wink
a little tear is released from under the
eyelid. and the wink spreads il all
over the eyeball. This washes down
the front OF the eyeball and cleanses
IL OF all dust and other things that
fly in the eye from the air. Then the
tear runs along a little channel, much
like trough, at the lower part OF the
eve. and out through a little hole in
the corner and in this case the tear is
really only an eye-wash. Many things,
but more often sadness or injured
feelings, start the tears coming so
fast from under the eyelid that the
little trough at the bottom and the
hole in the corner of the eye are too
small to hold them or carry them on.
so they roll over the edge of the lower
eyelid and down the face These are
what We call tears Among other things
that will cause tear-glands to cause an
OF eye-wash 10 come

TENNYS0N'S POEM
INSPIRES THEME

Rev. James Edgar Wilson. pastor Of
Broadway Presbyterian church will
speak on the subject Greed of Creeds''
at 10:45. the hour o. morning wor-
ship tomorrow at the church. The
theme was inspired by Alfred Tenny-
sons in MemOriam". Four thousand
years ago the Hebrews built this creed
OF creeds OF which Tennyson speaks
into their primitive life and today II
should be an important factor in the
national life. The words that inspired
the theme are.
Though truths in manhood darkly
Join. deepseated in our mystic frame.
we yield all blessing 10 the name OF
Him that made them current coin:
for Wisdom dealt with mortal powers.
where truth in closest words shall
fail. when truth embodied in a tale
shall enter In az iowiy doors. And
so the Word had breath. and wrought
with human hands the creed OF creeds.
In loneliness OF perfect deeds. more
strong than all poetic thought: which
he may read that binds the sheaf. or
builds the house. or digs the grave.
and those Wild eyes that watch the
wave in roariugs round the coral reef.
