Painting Radiators
Reduces Their Heat

Radiator coils and risers are neces.
sary and, because of their utility, they
occupy place Of prominence in every
room. At best, they are not things Of
beauty. Why custom has accentuated
their LONELINESS and prominence by
coating them with silver or bronze no
one knows. hut 1t Is high time this
practice stopped.
The use of such paints seriously re.
duces heating efficiency. Repaint them
to harmOnize with room color schemes
before starting the heating system.

An interesting example of the use
of psychology in securing cream OF
better quality from patrons was re-
Gently observed at creamery in one
of the Northwestern States. At
tempts at grading at the creamery
met with but Indifferent success. The
manager Of this creamery talked bet
ter quality to the patrons, but with
little effect; and even differential in
price of 3 to cents pound butterfat
in favor Of sweet cream delivered at
the creamery failed to secure the de-
sired change in quality. In the fall
of 1928, when the manager was re-
painting and repairing the creamery,
he decided to paint one Of the three
cream watts a dark red, with the 9TH
er two watts a spotless white. Natur-
ally such a color scheme aroused the
patrons interest. Upon inquiry they
were told that the red vat was to be
used for the sour, poor cream. They
were also informed what particular
patrons brought in the cream that
was being put into this vat. When a
patron found out that his cream was
being placed in the dark-red vat and
that it was common knowledge that
his cream was Of poor quality, this
knowledge acted as spur and an in
centive to try to have his cream plac-
ed in the other vat.
Inasmuch as only limited number
greater number of the patrons cream,
routes being operated to bring in the
greater number fthe patrons cream,
the manager carried out the idea OF
using different colored paint to reach
the route patrons. Twenty-gallon
iacketed cans were being used by
route operators, so when these cans
were reprinted one can on each route
was painted a bright yellow and TAX
en- on the route eah day. Naturally
this can of outstanding color caused
comment and inquiry, especially on
the part of the women folk, while
the hauler was weighing and samp-
ling recam. As a result Of this scheme
the women, who generally attended
to the cream, set about to improve the
quality, and often within a week
cream that formerly had arrived at
the creamery sour and in poor condi-
ton began to arrive sweet and in good
condition. Within two weeks Is per
cent. of all cream received at the
creamery was sweet, when before this
system was inaugurated only about Az
per cent had been so.

OPERA At COST
FOR CH|CACO
STUDENTS
: Big and Appreciative Group Of
High School Pupils At
tends Premiere.
By GRAY STURBS.
International News Service.

CHICAGO, Jan. II. - Opera at
cost" for high-school students, an
innovation in the movement to
Tna~ good music as popular as jazz
with the coming generation of
critics and patrons, received its
world premiere here recently.
Chicago Civic Opera stars proba-
bly, never sang to more enthu-
Siastic and appreciative audience
than that which filled the huge
auditorium at the first perform
ance. Nearly 1000 students We're
there to hear "Hansel and Gretel"
In English, the Humperdink opera,
with whose score and story they
were thoroughly familiar to judge
by the appreciative silences and
well-timed roars of applause.
There were children of every
class and many races, and it was
quite apparent they enjoyed every
minute of the performance.
The piece, taken from Grimm's
well-knoWn fairy tale, was staged
and presented in manner that the
youngsters might we'll believe that
the tabled characters had come to
life before their eyes. The matt
nee was the first step of the Civic
Opera Company to acquaint the
children with opera in English as
Q foundation for knowledge of opera
in general.
Before they attended the per
Torrance the students had been
given instruction in the story and
music Of the opera by their instruc-
tors in English and music, so they
could fairly understand and appre-
ciate it.
A second number In the plan
originated by the Civic Opera Com
pany was THE Snow Maiden
Opera at cost" is really opera
at loss, SO far as the box office
is concerned The tickets were sold
to the students at prices ranging
from 25 cents to 81 for a program
entirely parallel to those for which
the opera company asks, and gets
from 50 to Sc per seat and $25 for
boxes. =
