RECITALS
Maroaret Romaine.

When asked whether she thought
that her experience on the light opera
stage had caused her progress in the
more serious side of music to move
more slowly than was the rule, Mar
garet Romano, the soprano, said:
ION the contrary I am thoroughly
convinced that every bit of expert
ence had in musical comedy was or
inestimable benefit to me when / en-
tered the more serious work. Con-
slider my debut for example-that of
Musetta in Puccini's La Boheme.
For years newcomers at the Metro
politan had been failing in that very
role for the reason that they we're I'M
able to act the part or even to appear
at home on the stage. The role is ex-
acting and must be frightful for any
young singer without stage expert
ence, for shortly after the singer
makes her initial appearance she is
called upon to sing one of the most
difficult arias it's composer ever wrote.
Now / may confidently say that

This is Plea Of DrfI Charles p. Stein
metz Of New York Before Elec-
trio Club of Chicago Last
Week.
KEoKUK Is INTERESTED
The Dam Here May be Furnishing
Power for the Running of Rail-
roads if steinmetz Idea
is Adopted.

Eleetrifcation of the railroads is
urged by Charles p. Steinmetz, cleo
trical wizard His views on the
subject will be especially of interest
locally because of the location here
of the largest hydroelectric plant in
the world. Perhaps some day in the
near future, trains, which run through
this section will run on power supplied
from the Keokuk dam.
DR.. Steinmetz spoke last week at a
luncheon OF the Electric club in Chi
cago.
The railroads are the greatest US
ers of coal in the country" said DIR.
Stefnmetz, yearly consuming millions
of tons of fuel. By the elctriication
of railroads and the installation OF
electric locomotives. saving in fuel
of Sc per cent would be made. These
figures are not guess work; they are
the result of statistics gathered from
former coal burning railroads which
have been electrified.
Saves Hauling Charges
"And in addition to the saving in
coal. we must not overlook the saving
in transportation facilities. Under
the present system, fuel must be
hauled to many different coaling sta
lions on the roads, SO as to be avail
able for the locomotives.
With the Identification OF the
roads and the construction of general
ing stations and power plants. coal
would only have to be delivered to
these plants, with the result that
thousands of cars would be released
to be used in handling other comnodf
ties
Another Engineer Favors It.
Edward Wanamaker, electrical eng1-
neer for the Chicago, Rock Island and
Pacific railroad, told members OF the
American Railway Electrical Engi-
neers' association, in convention az
the Auditorium hotel, that electrincar
ton of the roads is their only saliva
ton.
THE prices of coal and fuel Oil nave
been constantly on the Increase, ne
said, "and while the present rate Oh
wages Is being paid there will be no
decrease in the price of Transports
ton. Consequently, the only alterna-
tive is to utilize our vast water power
resources and electrify our railroads.
