Hauser, pianist, noted instructor oi

The second number, December z, IL
Professor Montraville M. Wood, oi
Chicago, one of Americas foremos,
scientists and electrical inventors
Many Kennewick people will welcome
with pleasure the announcement that
he has been secured for this years
course as he lectured here several
years ago and was without doubt one
Of the best lyceum attractions ever
brought to the city. He still lectures
on his inventions and his scientific re-
search. His lecture this year will be
doubly interesting in that the very
things upon which his inventive brain
has been busy for years are now being
put to practical use in the great world
war. He has been prominent in the
aerial field and several years ago was
appointed aerial postmaster in the city
of Chicago. Since the beginning of
Germany's unrestricted submarine
warfare, he with other of Americas
great inventors has turned his atten-
ton to the invention Of some means of
combating this menace to ocean traf-
fic. He is said to have invented tor
pedo with ears or one the course of
which is changed as the course Of the
vessel at which it is fired is changed.
The third number is DR.. Adward A..
Steiner, author, educator and lecturer.
He was born in Austria, received his
early school training in Bohemia, at
tended the higher schools of Germany,
made his doctors degree at the univer-
sity of Heidelberg, spent his early
manhood in Russia and is now at the
head Of the department of applied
Christianity in Iowa College at Grin
nell.
DR.. Steiner is one of the most prom
inent lecturers on the platform today
and is an authority on immigration.
His book, "On the Trail of the Immi-
grant," alone has made him famous,
while his book, "Tolstoi, the Man."
has been pronounced the best biog-
raphy ever written of Russia's great
thinker and writer. In view of the
prominent part which Russia is play
ing in the worlds affairs at this time
and the effect which the melting pot"
has had upon our national life, DR..
Steiner becomes one Of the most in
men in America today and
For timeliness his lecture will undoubt-
edly rank with the speeches of Gerard,
Roosevelt and other of Americas great
patriotic platform orators.
The Rob Roy male quartet comes
February q. This is essentially an
number. Everyone Of
the male quartet is said to be vocal
st of ability. They appear in Scottish |
costume and sing those enduring old
songs OF Scotland.
The course will close April with
he Schumann orchestra Of five pieces.
This company plays only strictly high |
lass music and in their program will
be found selections from Mozart, Beet
loven, Liszt, Verdi, Tschaikowsky
and other of the great composers. Not
,nly are they the highest priced at
traction on the course, but without a |
loubt they will prove by far the high
est class musicians that have ever
played to a Kennewick audience.
Some time in January the sixth |
number of the course will be given.
The committee intends to address a
request to DR.. Suzzalo at once in the
nope that he can so arrange his affairs
20 come at thet time.
