| have seen houses of that kind which

the square. But as you are not sell
ing paint by the gallon; | believe it
would serve you better to know just
about how much it would cost to paint
an average farm house that never
had paint on it before. Two coats of
lead and oil, and one coat of pure
green seal zinc including brushes and
Japanese dryer would cost about $32.
One hundred pounds white lead
should take about 5 gallons of oil for
printing, however, twice that amount
of oil should be employed. A house
that never has been painted before
and is old, should never be painted
with paint that has t~urpentine or
gasoline in it, if however one of the
two are used, it should be only in tie

AS you are mostly doing business
with the farmers, suppose it would
be OF great interest to know some
thing about paint for farm imple-
ments. We know that only very few
farmers have housing for the imple-
ments they have, and that is one rea-
son why a man; (wlen he buys paint
should not lose sight of the fact, that
it's not all gold that glitters. We see
every day advertisements about beau
tiful coiors of mixed paint for farm
tools; but it's just like so many beau
tiful flowers they don't last no time.
Another thing, farmers never were
very artistic-look at their hotnes!

to throw away, so suppose we leave
the glitter to the fools. With a GAL

The Dances They're
Doing Now

"EN new fox trot numbers, a regu-
lation waltz and a medley waltz
are the Victor contribution to the
midsummer dance program for August.
The Virginians monopolize things on
two complete records all their very own
in August. Lonesome Mamma" is a
fine, horsey blues record with a de-
lightful. lazy rhythm. Whether a
Memphis, Egypt, mummy or a Mem
phis, Tenn, 1at-boat stevedore, "Mem-
phis Blues on the reverse of this rec
ord would certainly start the feet
moving.

r UCREZIA BORIS English accent
is her very own Unless you have
heard it, you can't guess how de-
nightfully piquant it is. However, you
may hear it on your Victrola for the
first time during August, for her most
recent record is her first in English.
The song, appropriately enough. is one
of Thomas Moore's-"When Love Is
Kind"-dealing lightly with such a
serious subject. unsteady this record
is a delicately chiselled cameo, leaping
a light octave at the climax like the
last flashing kick of a toe-dancer.
The peace and fragrance of some old
world garden are in a charming new
record by Emilio De Gogorza on the
August lists. 81 KnorV q Lovely
Garden" is one of Nine, Guy
d. Hardelot's simplest and finest, free
from false sentiment, and sung with the
easy finish and human sympathy OF the
true artist.
There's another touch of simple,
honest sentiment in a new record by
Mischa Elman-"La C~isqHamtaiHe"
(The Golden Wedding). 1t is II of
the b~est-known of popular old-world
melodies, and many who cannot call 1T
by name, will recognize II on hearing.
1t is played in simple, natural fashion,
vet with a quaint and minuet-like grace.
Toward the end the bow is insufficient,
and the 6nger-tip OF the artist is called
into play for a series of "harmonics,"
keen AID high as the soft notes OF a
piccolo.

The Tannhauser overture with its
devoutly thankful Pilgrims Chorus, its
impassioned hymn to Venus, and its
portrayed conflict between sensual ana

hear it in the whole, played by Phila-

One of Schumann's most poetic, if
comparatively little known compositions
is Am Springbrunnen" CAT the Foun-
tain) which Erika Morini plays on a
new record for August. 1t makes a
delightful violin study. with its swift
two-note harmonies ascending and de-
scending the chromatic scale like the
melodious play of falling waters. De-
spite the swift pace of the piece, the
composer never lost the melodic sense,
and Morini on this record holds it mar
velously herself.
AS a companion to its record, the
Allegro of Haydn's Quartet in D Major
issued in February, for August Flon-
zaley Quartet plays the second, or slow
movement, the Adagio Cantabile. Com
posed il a rich, full, generous style, it
is slow, reflective, yet with not a single
moment of empty and ~senseless reverie.
This record is one more contribution
by Flonzaley Quartet to enrich the
musical world.

To many always the favorite of
Wagner's works, T~annhdNser will again
be heard at the Metropolitan next sea-
son, after a lapse of several years.
There are three new records from this
appealing opera on the list of new
Victor Records for August. One is
that noble scene where Elizabeth, in
vain having sought Tannhauser among
the pilgrims returning forgiven, from
Rome, prays for his soul at the way
side shrine. and dedicates herself to the
religious life. 1t is here sung by Maria
Jeritza, the Metropolitan's great new
dramatic soprano, Interpreted through
out with fine dramatic sense.

ed, was an interesting figure
in English music. His first
dramatico-musical compost
ton was performed in 1904,
when he was eighteen years
old. Five years later another
work, The Circassian Bride"
was given at Covent Garden.
On the second night the his
torically famous fire destroyed
the house, and with it
Bishops score. He survived
the loss, however. During his
life he was credited with
writing, with adapting, or
producing more than a. han-
bred pieces for the stage. His
best-known song today IS
"Home, Sweet Home'-rather
a contrast to the Echo
Song" and his "Lo. Here the
Gentle Lark" which CALI
Curci already has sung for us.

The very essence of pagan nature
worship is in Rimsky-Korsakow's
weird 'Hymne au Soleir' (Hymn to the
SUM from his completely fantastic
opera lie Cog Dor (The Golden
Cockerel). 1t is a number that calls
for such perfection of style as CALI
Curci's, and for August she makes a
record of it that will enchant the
searcher for the unusual ins music.
There is nothing like it anywhere in
music-that melody addressed to the
rising sun by the beautiful, pagan
Queen of Shemakha, honesick for her
Eastern realm. The voice is carried on
the widest chromatic scales and pas
here sung in perfect style where the
slightest fault would spell ruin.
While the story of lie Roi dYs'
(The King of Ys) is not pleasant, the
music is lyrical and full of grace. For
August Gigli makes a splendid record
of the "VGtnerlent, ma bieH aimee"
(In Vain, My Beloved), the marriage
song of Mylio. Particularly noteworthy
is Gigli's taking of a wonderful, sub
dued high B fiat in the middle, a vel
vety high note, which is again repeated
before it dies down to a faint yet
equally beautiful close.
Olga Samaroif's new piano record of
Mendelssohn's Spring Song is a re-
markable example of both the interpre-
tative and the recording arts. The ever
familiar melody is played with ex-
uuisite tone-sense by Nine. Samaroff
lin private life Mrs. Leopold Sto-
kowski), each note being as clear and
DISTINCT as a tiny globe in a string OF
pearls.

Vocal Solo-Duet and
Quartz Numbers

M avio1sfs," a song s' thatS6as sur
vived smuch inferior stuff since
the day of its great popularity. Merle
Alcock sings it charmingly on an
August Victor record. 1t is a fine ex-
position of her voice and simpler ballad
style.
"Giannina Mia" which Lucy Isabelle
Marsh sings On the reverse of this rec
ord, has a lovelyssmooth rhythm, some
thing like a Venetian barcarolle, with
soft flowing counter-melodies in deep
brass rising through it to meet the
voice.
Olive Kline and Elsie Baker sing in
duet two sweet and tranquil Christian
hymns on a new record for August.
"We Would See Jesus" has for its
tune the beautiful and familiar Con
ISOLATION" of Felix Mendelssohn. "Jesns,
My Al" is set to an old melody of
probably Scotch and Irish origin.
These two hymns are interesting
studies in contrast, the solemn strains
of the first being in decided contrast
to the more lyric measures of the
second.

THE LAUNDRY DRAIN
REVEALS WHAT WASH
DAY RUBBING DOES TO
YOUR CLOTHES

Next washday after you have
let all the water run out of the
laundry tub, peer down the drain
and see what is there.
Bits of lint, tiny fuzzy balls,
little roughed-up threads. You've
noticed them often-did it ever
occur to you what they were? Par
ticles of the materials that make
up your clothes. And you your
self have worn them off rubbing
the clothes on wash board.
Now there is a way to remove
every bit of dirt without inJuring
the material in any way.
Soak your clothes in Rinse
suds. This new kind of soap is SO
rich in pure cleansing ingredients
that it gently loosens and dis
solves all the dirt. There is no
hard rubbing, no wear and tear
on the clothes-nothing to break
or even weaken the fabric.
