JOINT CHORUS
TO SING CAROLS
Young People From the Y. M. c. A.
and Y. w. C. A. Are Now Re-
hearsing For Christmas
Carol.

Keokuk is to have something new
this Christmas in the way of COM
munity singing. The student branch
4 of the Y. w. G. A. and the young
men from the Y. NJ G. A. are to give
joint program in the auditorium of
the Y. w. G. A. some evening during
the holiday season to which the pub
lie is invited.
Real old English carols will be sung
by chorus of fifty voices, rehearsals
for the same have already begun, and
there will also be special music. Fol
lowing the concert, folk dances will be
given. A trained leader will drill the
chorus which is to sing the Christmas
carols and the entertainment gives
promise of being very attractive
one.
The stage in the auditorium will be
appropriately decorated in keeping
with an old English Yuletide which
will lend enchantment to the songs
and dances.
Plans for the above program were
made last night by the members of
the student branch of the Y w. G. A.
Other business transacted was the
election of two alumnae members to
the cabinet of the club They were
Miss Eva Kunsman and Miss Maud
Devero. The girls also discussed
plans for the resumption of the publ
cation of Every Girl"
The marshmallow roast in front Of
the crate fire was preceded by a
short program which consisted Of a
reading by Eida Blaisdell, piano solo
by Ruby Richard and a group Of
Christmas carols sung by Miss Rachel
Elliot.

$ TRIED AT QUINCY
Xeokuk Man Has Formula and Says
II VIII Not Cost Much-PeopIe
May Try It Out
Here.

Burning ashes treated with solu-
ton Of salt and oxalic acid is the
latest way to beat the coal famine.
The recipe for the substitute was
sent to John w. Rovane, ST., who
passes it over to The Gate City. Mr..
Royane says that the cost is trifie,
salt costing about two cents and the
oxalic acid eight cents per ounce.
Here is the idea as an eastern paper
explains 1T:
In view Of the threatened coal
famine this winter l have the follow.
ing suggestion to offer to save fuel:
The idea Is to take the ashes that
we are now throwing out, and, after
treating them to simple chemical
preparation, to return them to the
furnace, and obtain from them as
great, if not a greater, heat than we
did from the coal itself. And this
can be done, as the experience of
thousands who have tried the expert
Fnent goes to prove. The formula for
this chemical preparation is as fol-
lows: Take one pound of common
falt, two ounces Oxalic acid, and one
Gallon Of water. Mix and moisten
zaixture consisting of one part coal
and three parts ashes and = better
fuel than pure coal is obtained. This
remarkable secret was discovered by
John Gilmore, shoemaker, Of Al
toona, Pa, several years ago. The
ashes Of anthracite coal burn as
readily as do those of bituminous.
This mixture will, upon being placed
upon burning fire, fuse into coke
like mass, and deposit but little resi-
due. The chemical action of this
compound is as follows:
When an aqueous solution OF an al
kaline salt, such as common salt, is
mixed with coal ash, the result is
that mild I've is formed, which,
when mixed with any combustable'
material, such as coal and upon the
appliation of heat, gives off oxygen
gas, thus enabling rapid combustion.
The addition of oxalic acid causes a
chemical change Of greater value than
the first, for the reason that 1t re-
suits in the formation Of carbide,
which in turn gives off acetylene gas,
this adding to the intensity OF the
heat and facilitating complete com
bustion.
This compound has been used in
many large industrial and mercan-
tile institutions, and it has been
claimed for 1t that 1t has reduced the
fuel item more than half. 1t could
also be used to advantage by any
householder with a little ingenuity,
and would be found the means of
saving a great deal Of money in coal
bins.

concert by the New York Symphony
Orchestra and an address by the d.
rector, Mr.. Damrosch, that filled the
great hall to overfowing. 1t is worthy
of note that this concert did not in the
least detract from the attendance at
the public recital of the same organi-
zation in the afternoon, thus demon
strating that in consequence of the So
ciety's efforts and the facilities afford
ed by the board of education there has
been developed here a second large
musical audience, and without doubt if
the facilities were larger even great
er number of persons would attend on
these occasions. 1t is important to
bear this in mind as illustrating the
need of assembly places for community
enjoyment and development. The Cen
tral High School auditorium has filed
an urgently felt want in Washington,
and it is a matter of congratulation
that Congress provided SO literally for
the construction of that building that
an assembly hall has resulted that can
be put to such good uses, certain to have
most beneficial effect upon the well
fare of Washington.

The Next House.

The organization of the next House
is matter of more than party mo-
ment. 1t is of party moment all right.
The republican party has been called
back for legislative purposes, ana must
rise to the occasion, or confess failure
and pay the penalty Of failure.
At the polls in November the people
paid a high compliment. In declaring
in favor of the republican party they
testified to two things: (D To a re-
membrance of its record for construe-
tive ability, and (2l to a belief in its
reunion for public business. Assur.
ances that factionism was at an end
and harmony now established had been
accepted. And the acceptance took the
form of large vote of confidence.
It is plain enough, therefore, that if
for any reason the party, restored to
power in Congress, shall prove nm
equal to the trust imposed, disaster at
the next trial with the ballot will
await it.
But the public also will be injured.
Responsibility on Capitol Hill win lie
with the republican party for at least
two years. Unless it acts with some
measure of success, nothing can be
done in that time; and very great
deal awaits attention. There should be
no delay. A program should be pre-
pared as promptly as possible, and
supported with unanimity under com
petent leadership. Otherwise, confu-
sion will set up, and next years cam
paign will become one of indescribable
complexity.
Rivalry for party honors is always
to be expected, and should always be
welcomed. II serves good purpsss.

qualities Of ambitious men, and so as
sists in the making Of the proper So
leetions for leading places.
But it should not be permitted to
go beyond that boundary. After Sc
lections have been regularly made,
they should be sincerely accepted and
supported. for only in that way can
anything of value be accomplished.
The republican responsibility is the
greater by reason of the excellent ma
terial it possesses in the new House
for all the party and public purposes
involved. The membership is high in
ability, training and experience, as
also in the good opinion of the coun-
try. An excellent organization of the
body is a very reasonable expectation;
and if that is effected and accepted,
and work under it inaugurated in good
spirit, the country will be greatly
benefited.

Chairman Cummings.

The first announcement of Chairman
Cummings is of purpose to make a
tour of the country. He starts in a
few days His object, of course, is to
get acquainted with local leaders, and
ascertain at first hand facts as to local
conditions.
This is sagacious move. 1t argues
knowledge of politics, and an appre
citation of the existing situation. 1t
shows that the new chairman is an old
hand at the beHows.
This sort of investigation is abso-
luteIy necessary. The most experienced
politicians are somewhat at sea today.
Discussion is everywhere. Doubt is
prevalent. Divisions are multiplying.
Not quite four months ago the elec-
torate declared itself, and with en-
phasis, in favor of the republican party.
And yet, since then, new issues have
appeared, and the latest-the league of
nations-is in way the most momen-
tous issue the country has faced in half
century
The republican chairman is already
"on the john fact, has been ever
since he took Office. AT that time a
stranger to national life, he thought
it advisable to tour the country and
introduce himself. This he did, and
with such good results he was soon in
cordial touch with his party in all sec
tions; and in November last the party,
by pulling together under an aggres-
sive leadership, won victory.
The better the two great parties are
organized for next years campaign the
better it will be for the country. We
want the best men for candidates for
all the important places, and the frank
est declarations by them and by
those who have put them up ON all
pending issues. If the electorate needs
stirring it should be stirred to the bot
tom. Not since the Union was saved
from dissolution has there been such
need of watchfulness and reflection as
now.
Next year everything will be in the
scale. Full control of the government
will be the stake. The republicans will
strive to add the presidency to their
possessions, and the democrats the
Sixty seventh Congress to theirs. 1t
viii be mighty tussle; and the result
of it may tell impressively on the
whole future of this country. Pre-
paredness is the thing. Let both po-
litical organizations exert themselves
toward producing at the polls on eiec-
tion day the whole voting strength of
the country.
