Fritz KreiSLer Has Unique Place in
Hall of Fame Devoted to VioLiniStS

Fritz Kreisler occupies a very unique
niche in the violinists' hall Of fame.
Every other viollnist Of note has had his
brief sensation, packed his concert halls
for one, or at most. two tours of this
country, and the passed into memory. Not
80 with Mr.. Kreisler He was first known
TO the musical world some twenty years
ago as n "wunderkind," and has steadily
advanced in ability. musicianship and
drawing power until today he stands
alone above every vlolinist Of the age
II was only a very few years ago that
Mr. Kreisler was glad to give recitals
whenever he could get an engagement in
any city at 500. Now his price runs three
times that amount and the fast that he
draws many times that amount to the
box office is proof that he Is worth It.
The public may be fooled once or twice,
but only true artist in its broadest
sense can continue TO attract larger and
larger audiences year after year And In
Mr.. kreisler's case there Is particular
reason for. instead OF playing hackneyed

violinists do. thereby firing the un.

Motorship construction is developing with
extra ordinary rapidity in Denmark, which
took the lead I'm the building Of this class

brought about in the size of motorships
The selandia was SO feet in length. had
engines OF 900 horsepower and displaced

So Grandly and Complete

dered over the nature of "all that
truck on the sidewalk
What Is that machine?" asked
they, and What funny looking
cork" etc. What are Dreshers going
to do now?" was heard on every
side.
And here is the answer. The
1885 square feet of Australian cork
you noticed is to be used in the new
Fur Storage Dept. that is now being
built on the very top (added) story
of the new Dresher building.
This new Fur Storage Chamber,
when complete will COMPEL the need
OF $50 tons of concrete, to say moth
ing OF 20 tons of steel bars, which
Will be intermeshed into the walls.
Here is a storage vault that will
occupy a space OF 10000 cubic feet.
The car load OF cork you saw on the
sidewalk will be used to render the
walls damp and warmth proof. To
enter this new idea fur storage cham
ber you must pass through four doors
two cork and wood doors, two
vestibules, and finally through a
heavy steel vault door that was for
merly In use at the old United States
National Bank Building.
Just inside the vestibule OF the
fur vault is being installed a spe-
cially designed De-Humidifying ap-
paratus consisting of an Electric Fan
and Calcium Chloride. mineral sub
stance that possesses the peculiar
quality OF drawing moisture from the
atmosphere. Thus, every breath of
air entering the vault will be not
only extremely cold, but dry as a
bone.
To effect the cold necessary in the
preservation of furs, Dreshers are
installing a Refrigerating Plant that
took First Grand Prize at the San
Francisco Exposition. This plant is
known as a six-ton ammonia gener-
ator and includes coils. absorbers,
condensers, brine tank. etc. 1t would
be lengthy matter to describe It in
detail, but more will be said in later
announcements.
Knowing how superior Dreshers
Fur Storage Dept. will be, il would
prove policy upon your part to phone
Dreshers before making any other ar
rangements for storage this spring.
Just call Tyler 346 and Dreshers will
quote prices and give details. Or

of sensing exactly what is of absorb
ing interest, Lyman H. Howe's Tray

DRY opera house on Wednesday, May
Gath, can always be relied upon for
an evening Of unalloyed pleasure for
young and old. Besides pictorial
pilgrimages Of rare charm to Ma
deira, Italy, France, Holland, Switz-

Scotland, and to our own Glacier Ma
tional Park, the new program also
includes some distinct novelties such
as the Capitalization of different
metals, and most amazing of all
new demonstration of the possibili-
ties of motion photography showing
the movements of animals SO slowly
that the eye can detect every detail,
which is impossible at the high
speed at which these animals move
normally. Thrills are also provided
by ride in an aeroplane above the
clouds, the perils of ascent of per-
pendicular cliffs by fearless noun
tain climbers and the struggle Of
torpedo boat through raging sea.

AN ALL DAY Meet
| ING IN HARRISBURG.
Members of w. G. T. U. Hold Suf.
frage Institute in Congrega-
tional Church. Z

The w. G. T. U. Of harrisburg held
successful suffrage institute on
Friday afternoon and evening in the
Congregational church. Mrs. Dora
Farrow Of Boone, who is president
of the 10th district, was present to
assist and conduct the quiz upon the
year book.
Mrs. r. w. Chesshir presided dur
ing the day and Mrs. John Fowler
at the evening service. Mrs. A. S.
Lynd acted as secretary. Mrs. G. NJ.
Stevens. Mrs. E. E. Roland, Mrs. L.
E. Wardle and Mrs. VIM. p. Bosom
berger appeared upon the program
during the afternoon session.
Rev. Spiker gave splendid adj
dress upon "The Church,, and Law
Enforcement" He traced the de-
velopment of the early church in
graphic way up to the time of the.
Emperor Constantine under whom
the church lost it's democracy and
was crystallized into great auto
cratic organization which transferr-
ed it's emphasis from conformity with
the spirit of the law to the outward
Observance of the letter of the law.
He showed how ritual and dogma
had obscured the real teaching of
Jesus Christ until what we needed
was a new baptism with the fire OF
the early church. Answering the
objection so frequently heard of the
church concerning itself with poll
tics, Rev. Spiker said: when the
devil gets into politics it is the duty
of Christ's people to go in after him
and chase him out"
Mrs. Spiker and Mrs. A. r. Gardi-
ner both gave very interesting talks.
The evening. program was also
full of good things, Rev. E. R. Ba-
Der of the United Brethren church in
Webster City, giving a very inter-
esting address from the subject, SIS
Woman Suffrage Biblical?"
Mrs. Sibert, the state president,
could not attend, but Mrs. A. Ed
worthy of Des Moines came in her
stead and her talk was enjoyed by
every one present. Mrs. -Edworthy
is superintendent of the legislative
department, and she told Of the
mny years of work which had been
done by that department in the at
tempt to secure a prohibition law.
She exhibited the pen which Gov.
Clarke had used in signing the re-
peal of the mulct law. After the docs
ument was signed the governor pre-
scented the pen to- Mrs, Edworthy.
Mrs. E. G. Jarmin gave very eff
fective reading entitled, Not Gull
ty," and Miss Ethel Chesshir sang
suffrage song very sweetly.
The women of harrisburg served
IA splendid dinner to all present at
the institute and every one felt as
though they had spent a very pleas
ant and profitable day.
