As a maker of programs for popu-
lar recitals, Karl E. Tunberg, pianist,
can take his place with the best. He
has an uncanny gift for knowing
what the public doesn't want and for
leaving 1t out Of his programs.
His program for the recital he is
to give at the Elks club at S:15 p. m.
Tuesday for tho benefit of the Elks
'Kiddie Camp" fund includes only
one heavy number. which Is a
Beethoven sonata, op. 81. He has
even been 80 oonsiderate as to place
this at the very top of the program,
So that 1t will not disturb late comers
who like the classics only on their
shelves.
The program contains excellent
music, however, and American and
English composers are well represent.

probably, will be tho American Indian

into II by an Introductory speech
which he apparently made with his
tongue IN his cheek. He ended by
expressing tho hope that candidate
who could write such music would
be elected.
When he raised his baton the audi

against. Those against made the
greater uproar, naturally, and carried
tho argument into the newspapers
Mr.. Stokowsk was accused of every
thing from conspiracy 10 downright
bad taste. And did he apologize? He
wouldn't be Stokowski II he had. He
said. in effect. that the objectors were
crazy.

Submarine Thawing.

THE use Of electricity for thawing
frozen water pipes in city houses
is no longer uncommon, but an un-
usual undertaking in this relation
was the application not so long ago
OF the process to q six-inch subma-
rine main, 1;7oo feet in length. con-
Meeting North Brother Island with
New York city.
When an ordinary water pipe u -
be thawed both ends are cut and the
possase of a comparatively small
electric current through the resistant
pipe metal generates sufiicient heat to
melt the ice in the pipe. Although
tho same general plan Svas followed
with the frozen submarine main. all
the conditions were SO difficult that
II took Ave days Of applying powerful
electric currents and Of a constant
pumping with pressure OF eighty
pounds to do the work.

Italy and Sugar.

WE think Of Italy as the homo of
the arts, yet it should not be for
gotten that while Italy's famous
cities were making their contribu-
tion OF genius to the world they were
, also weaving romance Of trade
about themselves which was to fasci-
centuries.
The story of the rise and fall OF
! the Genoese and Venetian republics
| is as much commercial as political.
! iAdvantageously located on the shores
| OF the Mediterranean and Adriatic,
these seaports were keen commercial
! rivals in the middle ages, for they
we're convenient channel OF trade
between the Levant and northern
Europe.
While the Crusaders were In the
Orient they tasted sugar for the first
| time. and liked the novel food SO
! much that they introduced it at home
| on their return. The demand thus
created in Europe kept the Italian
cities. Venice especially, busy trading
| in sugar.
The Venetian merchants went into
Egypt and other countries OF the Le-
want for their sugar. The island of
Cyprus, then tributary to Venice, con-
tributed a goodly share of the sugar
which came into the city of Canals.
| In Venice the sugar was refined" in
| a crude way, being melted over and
over until it lost the appearance Of
coarse. wet sand and became a fine
grain, mroe or less white, and pleas
| ing to the medieval eye. It had few
points in common with the product
Of q modern refinery. but 1t was rel
ished by all who could afford it.
Such was the sugar Of Dante's time.
It was only in the latter half of
the fifteenth century, In 1470. to be
exact, that a Venetian discovered a
superior method of refining cane juice
so that the resultant sugar was less
crude than heretofore. He also gave
to the world the first loaf sugar,
which achievement brought him an
award Of 100000 crowns. Through
the ensuing years the Venetian sugar
refiners worked constantly on the
new method until they had improved
and perfected 1t to such an extent
| that they were able to place on the
| market the celebrated pains de
venise," or Venetian loaves. These
represented so distinct an advance
! in the refiner's art that their fame
spread rapidly. and this form Of sugar
| was soon In great demand through
out the surrounding European coun-
| tries.
AS the sugar capita" of Europe,
Venice flourished for centuries
! through the middle ages; but the
/ fortunes of war and a change in
! trade currents interfered sadly with
! her commercial glory, SO that after
T, the sixteenth century we hear little
or nothing Of her as a factor In the
sugar trade.
During the centuries following. un-
til the end Of the nineteenth. Italian
sugar traders concerned themselves
mainly with the importation Of sugar
for domestic use. Finally. In 1898.
sugar beets were planted In italy.
and $500 tons Of domestic sugar was
produced that year. Beet culture
was encouraged and developed SO
rapidly that fifteen years later. in
1918, the sugar production had in
creased fifty-f1ve fold. amounting to
$4,000 tons.

Light on the Subject.

1--WE electric signs on Broadway in

$4,000 incandescent lamps, or more
electric lamps than were used In the
entire United States in 1881, two
years after Edison brought out his

II is abundant testimony to the

Ue.quarter Of that required for the
lamps burned In the United States in
1881. Moreover, the volume OF light

THE room gave evidence that II
