SOAPSTONE FOR HEATING
Now Utilized As Means Of Cutting
 Down Electric Bills.


 The cost of electricity is high be- cause approximately one.third of the current is lost in transmitting from the power station to the consumer.
 Until science can prevent this leak age. electric current cheap enough for universal use for domestic pur- poses can <pe had only through cleo trical heating devices designed to concentrate and conserve the electric current consumed.
 Engineering in this branch of the electrical field is very backward. Electrical heating devices are con- strueted on the principle of exposed heating wires which dissipate the generated heat into the air rather than concentrate and conserve the heat in form for economical use.
 The fireless. cooker principle'is now being turned to for reducing the cost -of operating electrical appliances. This principle in electrical engineer ing has been greatly developed and now soapstone plays conspicuous part in the new system of generating concentrating and conserving elec- Ttric energy.
 Soapstone is, a non- conductor of bedded in soapstone performs and heats in perfect insulation.
 Electrified soapstone .concentrates and conserves electric energy like a fireless cooker.
 When electrified soapstone is hot the current can be turned off, the soapstone holds the heat.
 The reduction in the cost of elec- tric current to the consumer is in- dicated, for example; in a soapstone electric iron; seven to ten minutes electric current will heat the iron When the iron is hot it is discon- nected; the soapstone holds the heat Sufficient heat is stored up in the soapstone to iron from 15 minutes to

TURKEY IN STRAW
 |S CLASSIC MUSIC
John Powell Says So And Plays It That Way, De-
 lighting Hundreds

| Turkey in the Straw is as good
 music as some of Beethovens best
 and no American need be ashamed of
 liking it, John Powell. pianist, told
 a big matinee audience at the Phil 1 lips auditorium Saturday afternoon. 1 As a Advertisement in an other 1 wise somewhat academic program, Mir. Powell plyed the Turkey in the Straw" arrangement which has made | David Guion, Dallas composer, inter nationally famous. Mir. Powell in terjected a little talk in which he l called attention to this appetiZing musical morsel, which through error had been left off the program.
 American folk music. and particu- larly southern folk music, has been attracting particular attention dur ing the recent years, said MT. Powell, and an English investigator has classified hundreds of airs which are worthy of note. The three cele- brated Jig tunes" "Arkansaw Traveller" Mississippi Sawyer" and
 Turkey in the Straw" are basical- ly classic he pointed out. Beethoven used Mississippi Sawyer" in one of his compositions, "Arkansaw Travel CT" can be found in Handel, and now
 Turkey in the Straw" framed in a rollicking arrangement by Mir Guion, has been published by a fore most American music publishing house, and Vienna publishers have asked for the European rights.
 'In melodic outline and harmonic structure, Turkey in the Straw ranks high as a classical music,". said MT. Powell.
 MT. Powell played three country dances of Beethoven, and his own
 famous Banjo Picker" movement from his County Fair" suite, in the same group with Turkey in the Straw" Needless to say, he won the hearts of some hundreds of youthful music pupils who were present at the recital.
 Beethoven's majestic waldstein sonata, Chopin's Nocturne in c Sharp Minor, Impromptu in F Sharp Minor and Scherzo in B Minor; and Liszts
 'Slumber Song" and Thirteenth Rhapsodie completed the program.
 MT. Powell is one of the most hu- man and intimate of interpreters and his popularity in Birmingham was well attested by the size of the audience which greeted him, on the last day of a week crowded with musical, theatrical and holiday ath- letic attractions.
 His Chopin group was applauded
 impetuously and he responded with tiiO HI fOIOIdlSe. MT. Powell has the happy gift of
 making his audience forget that there is any such thing as technique. His readings are clothed with such grace and interpreted with such poetic insight that one is not con-
 scious of the technical problems con- fronting the pianist. MT. Powell has, withal, a compelling and m: :5- terful presence a;ld there is fine | dignity in his recital.
 AS farewell encore, to appease those who. would not leave at the | end Of the program, MT. Powell l played MacDowells Shadow ance." The artist appeared under the
 auspices of the Birmingham Music l Teachers association

HAWAIRS 2,5M
 DOPE ADDICTS
 PREFER OPIUM
Thousands of Dollars Annually Spent for
 This Drug Alone
2,0OO HOPS IN HONOLULU
Orientals Said to Assimi- late Narcotics Easier
 Than Whites

HONOLULU, March 5.-The head of the narcotic division for the Ter ritory of Hawaii recently issued the statement that Hawaii has approxi- classes Of this number, however, the majority are users of opium rather than of morphine, cocaine and heroin.
 By a series of figures the head of the Narcotic Division arrived at the conclusion that Hawaii consumes ap- proximately 35,000 cases of opium every year. This amount of the drug, at it's present value of $80 to $9O tin, makes total expenditure for the smuggled drug of $22S,000 a year.
 Most in Honolulu
 Of the 2,5O0 Hawaiian addicts ap- proximately 2,0OO live in Honolulu, it is said.
 H. H. Wouters, head of the Mar cotic Division, is of the opinion that, despite these figures, the use of narcotics is on the decrease.
 "In considering the narcotic situ- ation in Hawaii" he said, "it must be remembered there is a large Oriental population here, and many of them have used opium since their youth. The most serious danger to the life of the community is in the creation of new users of opium
 Oriental Accustomed
 The Oriental, from long usage thru generations, is more or less used to opium and it's effects are not so serious on his health The system of the white man, on the other hand, cannot stand the continued use of narcotics. The chief difficulty in fighting opium in Honolulu is not so much in prohibiting Or;cntals from the use of it as it is in pre- venting them from enticing others, especially soldiers and sailors, Of whom there are thousands here, from becoming addicts.
