CONCERT At THE
HIGH SCHOOL IS
VERY ENJOYABLE

The concert given at the high
school yesterday afternoon for the
teachers consisted of several num-
bers by chorus and soloists.
The Albuquerque Apollo club,
conducted by Maurice Klein. sang
as their first number 1.-The Vikings
Song" by Coleridge-Taylor. The
chorus is composed entirely of men
and there are some excellent sing
ers in it. Mr. Klein has done tre-
well with only about six
weeks of rehearsals. one rehearsal
a week. His voices are concerted
rather accurately. and In spite of
the small size Of the club, verit-
able volume was heard. Mr.. Klein
said that he would like to have a
thousand voices. He should. too,
because the success of the Apollo
club merits it.
The next number was soprano
solo by Miss Grace Stortz. She
sang 1.-The Lord Is My Light" by
Mohr, with delightful ease and no
small volume, especially in her top
voice. To listen to Miss Stortz Is
to rest. She is not one of those
singers whose next note may result
In writhe from the hearer. Her
accuracy is quite perfect. AS her
encore she sang Dawn In the For
est" by Ronald. Several high notes
were sustained without effort. Her
Interpretation was piquant and
pleasing.
"Liebestraum," by List, was
played as violin duet by Dorothy
Cameron and David Marcus, with
an excellent accompaniment by
Norma Williams Both of these
young violinists are very much ad-
mired in this city, and are possess
ed of real talent.
The Apollo club next offered
Sylvia" by Speaks. 1t was we'll
sung.
Charles Byrne. a young tenor.
sang Bartlett's "a Dream" and
absent" by Metcalf. Mr.. Byrne
sings without much virtuosity, but
he has very pleasant voice, and a
manner.
Miss Cameron again favored the
audience with a solo. Alteration"
which she played well. There was
much applause.
Charles Mexican next sang open
the Gates" by Knapp. His splen-
did baritone voice was well suited
to the selection, except in the high
err register. The Interpretation
an appreciative intelli-
gence.
The program was closed with
THE Altar of Truth" sung by the
Apollo club. 1t IS an interesting
and was creditably done.
There was a big and delighted
which called back sew
eral of the soloists for encores.

That Miss Jordan is a fiction

Miss Jordan lived as to the merits
Of an Elizabeth Jordan story in a

"Well, I'm hardly in a position

when pressed for an opinion. "You

fessed to the publication of numer-

other magazines under the nom de

Hara of japan viewed the United

est friend of Japan" Rev. K.
Tsunashima, of Toxic, said today
in an address He quoted Premier
Hara as holding it "unthinkable
that this friendship should be
broken.
STRAINS may come and misun-
derstandings arise" the speaker
said the premier said not long be-

AN EARTH EPIC
Knut Hamsun's Great Novel; a
Poem of Mud and Plain People.

The Growth of the Soil, by Knut
Hamsun. (Knopf.)
Hamsun's latest book to be trans
lated into English Is THE Growth
OF the Soil" 1t Is a tremendous
story. There Is a latent power in
the novel which Is barely percep-
tible, but the consciousness of its
truth and pregnancy is quite easily
felt when the book Is finished, or
when the story itself tells of feat
OF strength and power by one of
its characters,
The art of the writer puts the
reader into the home-spun of the
PEASANTS and into their turf huts--
gives him q real touch Of their eX-
filtration in growing with the
earth--and makes him feel their
very sensations when q new won
| der, like the purchase of clock,
is displayed by the strong, simple
| farmer.
Isak. the central figure of the
narrative, is ruggedly carved. He
is like . Rodin figure. His beard
is rough, and he takes the first
woman who will stay with him,
Inger. She Is wonderfully done,
too. Her emotions, and the phases
OF development which she under
goes reveal the woman, and not a
character.
l particularly enjoyed Hamsun's
old bag, Oline. A kind of ami
mated whine, done into flesh and
blood, and couple of yellow teeth
she hovers. limpingly, over the
fortunes of Isak and his brood of
children and cattle, living only for
gossip and scandal and old wives
gibberish. She is splendid, Her
death Is art. :
AT that Oline lifts up her head
and looks at him. Grey and bald
she Is, head standing up on a
long, scraggy neck-ugly as a
witch, as an ogress out OF a story
-Oline-an age creature Born
and died" .t.
The life Of the Scandinavian set
tiers is feelingly presented. The au-
thor regards his people as strug-
Cling, homely Doors, but good and
faithful and all.
These people find mates, and
work with them, and then the wife
Is with child, and they marry. The
cattle increase, houses and barns
and cow-sheds are built. One day
a wonderful thing happens, lsak
brings home a pig. What's that?
a pig! And the children play with
him. and he Is a good animal.
The mastery Of such a writer
lies, perhaps, in his peaceful
strength. There is never sensation.
The story flows on, unwrapping its
DEVELOPMENTS with no flourish, yet
making them more impressive and
great by the simple gesture with
which they are revealed. No gilt
tering varnish. and no sordidness
of the decadent type, but human.
absorbing tale. for all OF its ap-
parent barrenness.

MUCH DAMAGE DONE TO
CROPS BY HIGH WATER

Terre Haute, Ind. Nov. 90
There was no prospect for relief
from the high waters which have
flooded the lowlands close to the
Wabash river in this district. The
river reached a stage of 1853 feet
today and was still rising. Many
families in the lowlands have been
forced to leave their homes and
much damage has been done to

Albuquerque, host to the 1921
convention of the New Mexico Ed
ucational association, received I'M
usually heavy delegations of teach
ers from points east, north and
south on the trains arriving last
night. With big crowds due in this
morning from the west and south
there Is every indication that the
attendance this year will be fully
up to previous records, inspiring
as they may have been.
The Santa Fe train which came
over the cutoff and arrived here
early last evening carried a splen-
did crowd from the eastern part of
the state. The early train from the
north was we'll filled and the late
night trains brought in fair num-
bers.
Teachers Found Rooms,
AS rapidly as the teachers ar
rived, the chamber of commerce
hurried to locate them at homes.
Many of the teachers had been in
personal communication with resi-
dents, who met them at the train.
The crowd was quickly handled
and d. B. Mckee, secretary of the
commercial organization, reported
last night that he had thousand
available rooms listed to take care
of late arrivals.
John Milne, secretary of the as
ISOLATION, announced that Mrs. Nina
Otero-Warren would bring down a
large delegation from Santa Fe
county. San Miguel county Will be
heavily represented. Grant county
will be here solidly, except for three
or four teachers.
From present indications, Santa
Fe and Las Vegas will be the two
chief contenders of Albuquerque
for the next meeting, although
there is possibility that they may
combine forces to send the 1879
meeting to Santa Fe and the 1928
meeting to Las Vegas. Albuquer-
que will again present its invita-
ton.
Woman For President.
1t seems probable that the teach
ers will select a woman for their
next president. Candidates are not
out in the open yet, but there is
feeling among the masculine edu-
Gators that it Is a woman's turn.
The general program will open
at 2 o'clock this afternoon at the
armory, corner of Fifth street and
Silver avenue. Walter NJ. Council
is to welcome the educators and
Roy White, of Gallup, will respond.
J. M. Buckley, of Clovis president
of the association, will deliver his
address. There will be musical
numbers.
At 4:SO o'clock comes the general
reception at the Elks' club to which
all teachers are invited. The gem
eral program is taken up again at
the armory at o'clock.
Sectional Meetings.
The sectional meetings will open
at the high school and neighboring
buildings at 3 o'clock this morn
ing. The meeting place and chair

BUSINESS FIRMS
MAY L|F I DEBT
ON DAY NURSERY

A movement among the profess
sional and business women, has
been launched to aid in liquidating
the mortgage on the home occupied
by the day nursery. The plan con-
templates that various business in
stitutions shall give the profits of
one days business toward the pay
ment of the debt.
The Art Aseptic Beauty shop,
All East Central avenue, inaugu-
rates the plan by giving all the
profits on goods sold and the en-
tire amount received from work
done, on Tuesday of this week.
1t is hoped by its sponsors that
the movement will prove to be pop
ular and this very essential institu-
ton thus be placed on a safe
basis. Those behind this enterprise
point to it as evidence that engag-
ing in business does not kill the in
stinct to mother children. The

this tendency to freckle by protecting

by using such simple bleaches as the

Hanging Out the Clothes.

In these days Of electric washing
machines there are young house
keepers who take general house
workers that refuse to have any
thing to do with the laundry work.
Does that mean that these young
housekeepers spend Sc or IS a week
to get the clothes washed and ironed? ?
No.
1t means that they do the wash
ing themselves.
Really. an electric washing ma
chine is an easy thing to run. 1t is
an interesting thing to run, as we'll
as an easy one. And many a young
housekeeper has a woman in once
every two weeks to iron for a day.
and herself puts the clothes through
the washer every week. laying aside
everything that needs ironing for the
once-in-two-weeks ironer. 1t takes
this. but that is all. Sometimes the
young housekeeper runs a mangle
for the fiat pieces herself.
Now. there are all sorts of ways
and devices for making the hanging
out of clothes to dry an easier mat
ing machines and mangles there may
be. clothes must be hung TO dry by
hand.
This is pleasant work, if one looks
at IT In that way. ana "hetner mis-
tress or maid does it. it should be
looked at in that way.
To begin with. the drying yard
should be a pleasant sort of place.
whether it is fitted with lines strung
on posts or with some sort of clothes
reel!
Then there should be some sort of
convenient method of holding the
clothes pins. Some laundresses pre-
fer shallow bags that may be pinned
securely to the clothes line. Some
like deep-pocketed aprons. Some
like deep bags with slit in one
side through which the clothes pins
may be reached.
There should always be plenty of
pins. clean and fresh. There are ad-
mirable little clips that come for
hanging finer clothes on the line.
There is supposed to be less danger
Of torn clothes if these clips are
used They are, of course. suitable
for only the lighter garments. but
torn.
There should also be some short
line that can be hurriedly strung up
in a corner Of the garden or on a
side o2 back veranda, where things
may be dried without the trouble of
putting the big reel or the long line
in place.
And don't forget sunbonnet. One
really is tremendously helpful in
warding off sunburn and freckles.
and if it is made attractively, it is
likewise a becoming thing to wear.
