have to let the painter take the house

URCESNFTRA7ES
FROM A|RF0R
FARMERS
Cost s Cents Per Pound
Against 20 for Chilean,
Silver Says.

A 10 per cent reduction in the
price of nitrogen used as fertilizer
in the United States would be eff
fected by the leasing to Henry Ford
of the Governments nitrate and
power plant at Muscle Shoals, Ala,
Gray Silver, of the American Blu.
reau Federation, declared before the
House Agriculture Committee today.
Silver vigorously opposed the
pending legislation in Congress
which would appropriate $4,000 900
to purchase nitrates from Chile TO
be distributed without cost to the
farmers of the nation.
THAT would only be like a shot in
the arm to a sick person." Silver
said. What farmers wish and need
is the development of air nttratcs
in the United States. The Depart.
ment of Agriculture, says Chilean
nitrates cost farmers $40 per ton.
or % cents a pound. On that cost
basis the farmer cannot afford to
use it generally.
IF the Government should pur.
chase this nitrate ii and the farmers
would be paying high tribute to the
monopoly controlling the supply. On
every ton exported FROM Chile we
pay an export duty of $11.3S and an
import duty of SIS. All of this would
be avoided if we had a source of
production in this country such as
Henry Ford in his offer to lease and
operate the power and nitrate plants
at Muscle Shoals would give US"
Air nitrates can be produced in
this country and laid down to the
farmers at 6 cents a pound instead
of % cents. the present price of
Chilean nitrate, if Congress grants
Ford authority to operate the Muscle
Shoals properties, Silver continued.
las nitrogen is essential for crop
production, / see no reason why Mr..
Ford should not be permitted to
make this saving for agriculture" he
said

ELECTRIC RANCE
FOUND EASY
BY COOKS
Recipes for Food Are Used
Same Way As on Gas or
Coal Stove. 49,.

THE trouble is" said the house
wife before she bought her electric
range, that / don't know how to
cook electrically. I'm afraid to try
anything so new"
She had somewhere picked up the
notion that to cook with electricity
was the same as experimenting
with some strange, new art. She
thought she had to learn an en-.
tirely new process of cooking. She
even thought that the electricity
passed through the food and
shocked it, 1t was pleasant
surprise to her to learn what a
mistake she had made. When her
new range was installed and in use
she found that she simply had &C
quired an easier, simpler way oil
cooking the same dishes she had
been making for years in the old
fashioned more laborious way.
The recipes for cooking electri
cally are Just the same as for n
gas or coal stove-with the excep
ton that less water is required in
stewing or boiling, and none at all
in baking meats. And the method
of cooking is the same except that
the heat can he regulated exactly
and not left to chance or guess
work.
The steady. sure heat, and the
automatic regulation which takes
care Of the length of time the food
shall cook. whether in the oven oil
an electric range, or in an electric
compa rtment cooker-these are two
features which greatly reduce :he
amount of time and attention which
the housewife need give her cook
ing.
The principles involved in this
way of cooking, are not new, more
over. The housewife who thought
this range an untried innovation
did not know that electric ovens
cook in the same way as the heat
storage ovens which were used tx
ciusively by ancient peoples as faI
back as the days of the Pharaohs
The oven without Wasteful draft
of air, carrying off heat, has al
ways been recognized as the most
economical and healthful way Oi
cooking. Housewives who have he
come acquainted with It in the
electric range are enthusia ST C
about this ancient method.

PIANIST IS STAR
At POLISH
CONCERT
Small but Enthusiastic Audi
ence Attends University
Benefit.
BY WILLIAM MOORE.

A mere handful of music en-
husiasts went to the President
rheater- yesterday afternoon to at
end the concern of Polish music
iven for the benefit of the Uni
'ersity of Lublin, Poland.
While the audience was small, 1t
as enthusiastic and applauded the
forts of the soloists. When a
,rson has to sing or play to
mpty seats, there is not much in
entive for strenuous efforts to
'core a big hit. This may be the
principal reason why several num-
bers-vocal and Observation-Disclosures
not as polished and pleasing as
they might have been.
Pianist Wins Applause.
Perhaps the most agreeable mum
bers were the Piano selections of
s. Brachocki, a young Pole who
seems to have mastered the techni.
calities of the piano creditably.
The Smoothness> of tempo in
Moniusxko- Melcer's Spinning Song,
and the vigorous style in which he
interpreted Chopin won the ap
plause of the audience.
Miss Lavinia Darve, formerly
with the Milan Opera Company
sang a group of operate and
Polish folksongs. She has a pow.
erful voice, but to this reviewer ii
lacks warmth. Her high notes.
while true, are inclined to be bit
rough.
Sings "Jewel Song"
Miss Darve sang in costume I'm
bel d." from Madame Butterfly
and two Polish songs. "Halka" and
"kalinA and Rozmaryn." She also
gave the Jewel Song from
Faust" and "Ritorna Vincitor,
from Aida She was accompanied
by Mleczyslaw NUM- at the piano.
With all the fire and birthstone
that characterizes the works of H.
Wieniawski, John Wolanek played
that composers ALA Zingara. y
Other numbers played by the
young vioIinist were "RomanZa,'
Wieniawslxi: Theme con variazioni
of Core1li," Tartini. Kreisler; Moe
