cause he was from another city
Loeb was allowed to visit his
brother despite the fact it was not
a visiting day.
While waiting in an ante-room,
Loeb glanced casually through book
which he found on table. 1t con-
tanned a long list of names, each fol-
lowed by a certain date. Curious to
know the meaning of the list, Loeb
glanced at the heading.
Public executions in the State Of
Illinois, appeared in bold type at the
top of the page. Eighty-five names
were listed dating from 1S4O
"A CHASTITY thing to have around
here" Loeb said, and quickly closed
the book. Loeb refused to make any
statement concerning the case.
Hints that Leopold and Loeb
would attempt suicide today caused
Sheriff Peter M. Hoffman to throw
double guards around them.
Every article brought into the
cells where the boys are held is be-
ing examined to prevent delivery Of
weapons or poison of any kind.
Two guards are stationed before
each cell. Both Loeb and Leopold.
expressed a desire to commit suicide
rather than die on the gallows
should they be convicted of murder
Leopold Prefers Suicide
Il shudder at the thought Of
being executed" Leopold said, his
proud air returning after one day
behind prison bars. Il would great
ly prefer to end my own life if
must lose it,"
To Leopold. boastful of killing
Franks and evading the law until his
comrade confessed and implicated
him, suicide would be more welcome
than hanging.
The tWD prisoners, both 10. who
admitted they killed young Franks,
Just for the fun Of it," were slowly
adjusting themselves TO prison rou
tine. Leopold found more difficulty
in mingling with the other prisoners
than, did Loeb.
THAT guy thinks he's too good
for us guys-hed better lay off that
RitzIe stuff, one of the prisoners, a
bandit, said concerning Leopold.
Loeb. always showing himself the
softer of the two, found more favor
in the eyes of his Jail mates. He
amused himself during a recreation
period by teaching a negro boy pris-
oner the alphabet Both boys had
their meals sent in from their mil
ionaire homes.
Leopold occupying 604 together
\ with Thomas Doherty a robber. ate
his meal in silence. He did not
speak to his cell mate and a on
the opposite side of the cell
Loeb graciouslyt invited his cell
mate Edward Donker, also a
robber, TO share his meal. The two
sat side by side on the edge Of
cot and ate heartily. They CON
yersed freely and easily.

American Singers. is in itself the finest comlnendation that can be. made of
 The lmpresario' as an artistic triumph. Of poignant interest. too. is the fact that the English version was ceded to be the dean of American critics.
 The supporting cast was cdrefully chosen by AIr. Hinshaw from noted re- citaiists. each of whom have already at taineS heights in concert fields The fine vocalism and all-around artistry of Francis Tyler. Miss Hazel Hunting ton andd Miss Iottice Howell wns 50 generally recSgnizei last season that these three have been engaged again for the third annual eoast-to-coast tour. The same is true of Miss Gladys Craven, who presides ut. the piano with such dignity, grace and fine musi- cianship.
 But one change is noted in this sea- sons cast. Charles Massineer as- sumes the difficult role of Mozart and brings to- the part his superior .qualifi- cations. In 1920 he sang the leading tenor role in the musical comedy Irene" and more recently has devoted his talents to choir and recital work. The past sseason he appeared with the Paulist Choiiisters as soloist in the New England states.
 Besides the coming of Hemus the presentation here will be of especial interest to Birmingham because of the production's including in it's cast Miss Lottice Howell. Miss Howell is m Alabama girl and is well known in musical and social circles.

Who Discorered John McGornack? Oft
 Asked Question

It has been said that the rise to fame of John McCOrinack, whose con cert here next Wednesday evening will be one of the notable musical events of the season. is one of the most remark able incidents in musical History. The question has been asked quite f-e- qaently Who ''tliscovered' McCor- mack? and there have been many ar- swers, As a,geheral a rule the answers are wrong. The following brief but authentic sketch will be of interest at the present time:
 John Mccormack was graduated at | the age of IS with the highest hohors, taking ell the prizes in his class in Latin. Greek. mathematics. and English composition. / He had had some local reputation ns Q. singer. but his parents did not realize the great things he was capable of accomplishing in that line. After his graduation from college his parents sent hin to take an examina- tion for a place in the Royal College of Science. Apparently the idea did not occuNto. them that he would be able to turn his vocal talents to commercial account. One day he sat at the piano accom- panying himself in one of his .favorite songs, and a doctor from his home town entered the room. Don't stop" said he, as Mccormack started to get up from the piano. begin it over again and let me hear it all" When the song was finished the doctor took his leave. I'm going to get Vincent O'Brien," he said. II want to have hin hear you sing"
 Vincent O'Brien was director of the Marlborough choir in Dublin, and one of the most important musical person. ages in the Irish capital. He was speedily found by the doctor and in- troduced to McCormack. "Sing any thing said O'Brfen. Mccormack sang Then You'll Remember Me-" from the Bohemian Girl Young man," exclaimed O'Brien, there's a fortune in that voice. Don't you dream of being anything else but a singer" Then and there it was ar- ranged Mccormack should become member of o'Brien's choir.
 For two, and one-half years he stud jed in Italy under a famous master, Sabbitini. acquiring there the fine Ital- ian legato and the perfect phrasing (which made him a model of natural ex- pression. Hear my Giovanni" says Sabbitini to his pupils. His is the nearest of all to the perfect method of voice production. l am prouder of him than of any other singer who has come under my tuition" When did you learn to sing?" someone asked Me Cormack. "In my cradle," was his re- ply.

Illuminating Gas Poison
sy M. IFssIE LEI1nn

~ ASES of Illuminating gus poisoning N are numerous because gas is so com monly used in the average household. Other poinosous gases produce similar effects, but the one the average person is most concerned with is Illuminating gas.
 Of course, cases of poisoning by gases from furnace and stove (coal gas) and by ammonia fumes are not unusual, because ammonia plants are used in many apartment houses for refrigera- tion and ice-making.
 Great care should always be taken when gas is mixed with the air.
 Leaks in the gas pipe should always he repaired promptly and when turning off the gas in lights or heaters, one should always be quite sure that the gas is turned completely off.
 Never leave gas jet burning faintly when you go out of. a room. If pres sure in the gas main lessens, it will go opt. And if pressure increases after ward, gas will escape into the room and poison the air with deadly fumes.

through red hot castiron. Big hot fires in a stove, especially in a sleeping room, are dangerous.
 Never burn charcoal in open vessels in air-tight rooms. It is very danger ous.
 In sewers and wells, workers lower a candle into the depths before they enter. If the air is impure the candle will go out.
 The symptoms of gas poisoning are headache, sickness at the stomach and vomiting, dizziness, sleepiness and weak, rapid breathing with a rapid pulse.
 Always get a person suffering from gas poisoning quickly into the fresh air. In making the rescue, move quickly and If possible, without breathing yourself. Take few deep breaths before enter ing the gas-flled room and try to hold your breath until you can get out again. Gas is never near the floor. So crawl into gas-tilled room rather than walk,
 The treatment for gas-poisoning is artificial respiration.
 Sometimes, if the poisoning has been fairly slight, a dose of aromatic spirits of ammonia will be enough to revive the patient. Use one-half teaspoon to a glass of water and repeat the treatment four times, at fifteen minute intervals.
 Smelling salts, held to the nase, are good. Baking soda, one-half teaspoon. ful to a quarter glass of water, will help to settle the stomach and stop the painful belching of gas.
 Effervescent phosphate of soda is sl- ways provided in large gas works, and is broadly better than baking soda. though baking sado can usually be pro. cured first, and no time should be lost. Plain soda water is useful is there ia any available. If you have an electric fan, at the same time allowing the suf- ferer to inhale the fumes of a sponge soaked in vinegar, it will help to revive him speedily.
 If the sufferer from gas poisoning can walk at all, two persons should sup port him with his arms around their necks and make him walk.
 When his feet drag you know he is too weak for such drastic treatment, therefore place him on the floor and open all the windows. Start artificial respiration if the victim is not breath ing we'll.
 But always send for a doctor. It is much safer.
