Musical Art Club

Maud Moon Weyerhaeuser hall was
filed to capacity Wednesday evening
| for the first program of the season
given by Mrs. William IS. Barker OF
Grey Eagle, lyric sporano, assisted by
Mr.. Franklin Krieger Of Minneapolis
pianist. The program was a delight
full one and seemed to please all, and
if all coming programs of the season
justly feel proud.
+ Mrs. Barker has clear voice with
an abundance Of volume, and while
she is a lyric. soprano and her high
tones are beautiful, she has a fine
range, as was shown in her French
songs, of which she sang several. The
program as given was much different
from the printed programs. The first
part consisted Of two French and two
English numbers. The third, "Easter
Eve," by Gounod, was especially
good. In the second part "Silver
Ring" by Chaminade, sung very soft
ly, was beautiful. Her last two num-
bers, Gland of Sky Blue Water
and Lander's "Trusting,'' also were
very good.
Krieger was deserving of praise. Not
once throughout the entire program
could the piano be heard above the
voice and his playing was marked
with that sympathy and understand
ing which is so essential to the sing
er.
The next club program comes on
Tuesday evening, November 8. Vera
Poppe, cellist, of Cape Town, South
Africa, and Iona Burrows, accompan-
ist, will give this program.

Herman Adams, who is employed at
the plant of the Kiewel Associated
Products Company of this city, mar
rowly escaped being crushed to death
Wednesday afternoon, when he got
caught between heavy truck loaded
with coal and the wall Of building,
as the truck was being backed up. AS
yet, the attending physician has been
unable to determine whether Mr..
Adams was injured internally but he
is resting we'll and no serious conse-
uuences are looked for. He is over
so year old.
Theo. Schuler, truck driver FOR the
company, was backing a load Of coal
to the coal pit entrance and Mr..
Adams was to help unload it and was
going to open the door. He started out
to open the door from the inside but
changed his mind and came back to
open it from the outside. The driver
did not know this and when Adams
failed to open the door as quickly as
he expected he got pinched between
the truck and the edge Of the wall
near the door, the truck catching him
in the abdomen. Fortunately the
truck driver heard him yell as he got
caught and he Immediately reversed
the motion of the truck, saving Mr..
Adams from being crushed. He was
rushed to St. Gabriel's hospital and
an examination made. No bones were
broken. and as far as could be ascer-
tanned there were no internal injuries
aside from the hard pressure.
