Reinald Werrenrath Recital,

Canned music" has Accomplished
many wonders for the betterment Of
a world that sadly needs betterment
but nothing that is more worthy of
special remembrance than it's intro
duction to a very wide public of sing
ing artists. who, perhaps. might have
had to wait years for the recognit ion
they now receive when they most de-
serve it.
Reinald Werrenrath. one Of the
most charming baritones that Wash
ington has ever listened to. may not
even before his appearance in public
here his singing records made him
household favorite and added largely
to his list Of admirers who are al
ways ready and anxious to welcome
his coming and to testify their un-
mistakable delight in his singing and
in his songs.
Mr.. Werrenrath. at his recital in the
City Club ballroom last evening. had
evidence of this, and he also realized
that no matter how beautiful his pro-
gram may have been as originally
planned, there was an unmlstakabie
undercurrent Of desire to hear him
in his record songs that occupy a
fayorite position in every record al
bum in Washington. 1t was this that
forced him to sing the "Pagliacci' pro-
Iogue as an encore, and to win Tor
him. perhaps. the most enthusiastic
demonstration of the evening. unless
it were that given when he sang. the
beautiful song, "Duna." by Josephine
Phillips.
His offerings started with the clas-
sic. even with Giordani's exquisite
and familiar Caro- mio ben," which
received due acknowledgements: but
it was with "Over the Hills and Far

he won the hearts of his audience.
that apparently would have been con-
tented, even delighted, to sit and
listen until morning.
1t was a charming concert, and the
singers rich. beautiful voice was ap-
parently at its best, even in the soft

wonder if they were tenor or fall

his favor with a gracious and charm

Explosions of coal dust in the mine
atmosphere, similar to the fatal ex-
plosion in the Domolite mine near
Birmingham, Ala. last Wednesday.
may be neutralized. If not entirely
prevented. by two positive methods.
experts of the United States bureau
Of mines declared today.
The first method of preventing coal
mine dust explosions most generally
in use. which is also probably the
cheapest. is by wetting down the
roof, walls and floor of the mine pas
sage by sprinkling water on the
dust which has settled. In every
coal mining operation. it has been
proven by tests conducted at the
Pittsburgh experimental mine. there
are released quantities of this fine
dust into the air. When the coal
dust content in the atmosphere
reaches a certain proportion. which
varies in some mines, according to
ventilation. this mixture will explode
with terrific force when brought in
contact with an open flame or an
electric spark.
Shale Dust Preventative.
Another method of neutralizing the
effect OF a coal-tlust- laden atmos-
phere is by mixing with the coal dust
an inert. n-explosive dust, such as
shale dust A scattering of shale
dust or any heavy. inert rock dust
over the coal dust will accomplish
practically the same results as wet
ting down the mine by lessening the
proportion of coal dust per cubic foot
of air.
Pure coal dust itself. the bureau
found in the course Of series of
tests at Pittsburgh, is very difficult
to wet down, but when mixed with
shale dust it absorbs water readily.
Use of exhaust steam in coal mines
as factor in settling the explosive
coal dust mixture has also been

Deep Mines Ventilated.
All deep coal mines. except per-

which pump into the mine quantities
Of air to keep circulation through

to keep down the dust prevalent in

artificial measure to lessen it's eX-

ONCE EACH MONTH

Existing orders which permit
Army officers in this city not sta

attire while on duty have just
been modified so as to provide that
the officers must wear their uniforms
on duty at least one day during each
month. No reason is given for the
new order, but it has been suggest
ed that it is to insure that the uni
forms shall always be Immediately
available and presentable, and that
the wearer may be reminded of his

idea that they would not be needed

Pipes to BE Cleaned.
The committee will recommend that
these congeSted pipes be blown as
soon as possible and new and up-to-
date fixtures installed until electric
lights are provided
At Business High School the COM
mlttee learned that the candle power
OF the electric lights in the rooms in
the front Of the building is consid-
erably greater than those in the
rooms in the rear, although $50 watt
lamps are used in all rooms. An in
vestiGation revealed that the cause
Is due to the fact that the electric
bulbs in the rear rooms had been
IN use longer than those in the front
and the candle power had been re-
duced through usage which resulted
in the lamps throwing off a yellowish
light
In the interest of economy the COM
mlttee will recommend that the old
lamps. although still useful. be re-
placed by new globes and that the
OLD ones be used in basement and
other rooms which are not used for
study purposes. 1t is essential, a
member of the committee pointed

rnittee on lighting, appointed recently
hy Supt. Frank w. Ballou, are car
ried out Believing that it will take
several years or longer to electrify all
of the schoolhouSes used at night for
classes or by community organiza-
tions. it is the intention of the COM

and community gatherings. Although

purpose.

The committee has tenta lively
agreed to recommend that classrooms
used for night schools be first equip
ped with electric lights. 1t is proposed
then to give consideration to those
buildings which are used by the COM
munity center department and civic
organizations.
1t is not the intention of the COM
mlttee to urge that entire buildings be
electrified. The committee will recon-
mend that only the rooms actually
used for classes and corridors and
toilets be equipped first with electric
lights. and when appropriations are
available the lighting equipment be
extended to other parts of the build
juGS.
During its investigat ton of lighting
conditions the committee discovered
that in a number of buildings where
gas is used the illumination Is made
