Milk From CocoanutS.

TT is a little known fact that nearly
all the elements of a food suffi-
cient to nourish one and maintain
him in vigorous physical condition
are to be found in the nuts Of the CO.
coanut tree. Moreover, it furnishes
such by-products as vinegar, alcohol,
sugar. cattle feed and fiber.
When dried the meat of a cocoanut
tree Is a valuable article of COM
merce. 1t is known as copra. From
this cocoanut oil is made. Copra
contains very large percentage Of
oil, an oil that, In it's constituents,
bears close resemblance to cows
milk. But attempts to emulsify the
oil-tflat is. to divide the particles so
as to cause the product to resemble
the milky character of the output Of
the cow-have singularly failed in the
past. Yet chemists have felt that
here, indeed, was an oil that would
yield valuable substitute that could
be shipped to any part of the globe.
Their efforts have proved successful
in one process.
Roughly, this process consists. in
mixing SKINNED milk with the cocoa :
nut oil. A chemical method, protect
ed by patent, has. it is said, enabled
this amalgamation to be effected.
SKINNED milk in itself is no in
ferior food. It contains casein, a
very easily assimilated proteid food:
vitamines, and milk sugar. SKINNED
milk and cocoanut oil are combined
into whitish milk or emulsion by the
use of g. stabillzer. which is found in
raw sugar. This stabilizer keeps the
tiny particles of fat from reassem-
bling.
Various types of milk can be pro-
duced as desired. There is thin milk
and rich milk, and half cream and
full cream; or even thicker cream.
The product not only resembles milk,
but IL tastes like milk. and Is said
to be even more readily disested than
the pure cow-given product. It keeps
as we'll rs milk and already has been
introduced to the public in >ics cream

Glass Building Brick.

CLAss-FAcED bricks with con
~ crete backing have been more
or loss used in various parts OF the
country. They seem to be superior
TO any form OF tile or glazed brick
as a lining for tunnels, swimming
pools or bathrooms; for the inside
walls OF garages. engine houses,
prisons, meat markets and other
structures where perfect cleanliness
is as desirable as difficult. They are
heat and cold resisting, and declared
to be everlasting, requiring no paint
or other treatment to preserve their
appearance. For shops and factories
the concrete ebacked glass brick
would seem an almost ideal material.
The construction Of the brick is as
follows: To a glass facing, one
fourth inch thick at its thinnest part,
is attached a well-proportioned con-
crete back. The concrete backing Is
attached to the glass front by three
separate means, each entirely suffi-
Client to secure the union of the two
materials. First, the cement on the
concrete adheres to the glass; second,
both ends of the glass face are re-
turned by greater than a right angle,
thus imprisoning the concrete mass;
third, a dovetailed rib Of glass
traverses the entire length of the
back of the facing. at once strength
ening the glass faco and also securing
it to the concrete body. The glass
face is one-sixteenth of an inch larger
all around than the concrete body,
thus making it possible to be a good
mortar bond. Notwithstanding that the
mortar between the faces of the glass
may be almost entirely pressed out.
The glass bricks arc laid in exactly
the same manner as are any other
finished brick.

JOHNSON HOPES
FOR PARDON OF
TEXAS NEGROES
Brings Glad News to
All-Race Assembly

Hope for a pardon OF commuta-
ton of the sentences Of the Negro
military prisoners at Leavenworth
penitentiary was expressed by Mr..
James Weldon Johnson, secretary Of
the National Association For the Ad-
vancement of Colored People, after
the morning session Of the Sanhed-
rim yesterday.
Mr.. Johnson has just returned from
Washington where he headed a dele
cation of 20 prominent Negroes who
presented a petition of 100000 names
to President Coolidge, asking him to
pardon the prisoners against whom
such discrimination had been shown.
President Coolidge made no def
mite promise but said that he would
free them if he could do so. Mr..
johnson is very hopeful of favorable
action.
More and more organized protests
against the continued failing of these
unfortunate soldiers will come as the
Negro race organizes more and more

conducted with ruthless disregard of
the evidence in their favor. Nine
teen were summarily hanged and 81

OREGON CHASES
REMNANTS OF The
COUNTER REBELS
Spanish Fascist Writer
May Lose Head

FL Paso, Tex, Feb. 13.-The Mexi-
can federals under the direction of
General Obregon are scattering the
demoralized forces of the counter
revolutionists by strong, swift
strokes.
Yaqui Indians under the command
of Col. Anselmo Armon have captur-
ed one of the str?ngholds of Hippo
Tito Villa, a hacienda, the home of a
Spaniard, which was we'll fortified
and surrounded by natural defenses.
The bandit forces of De La Huerta
are in full retreat.
The Obregon forces have captured
Manuel Aznar, one of the best known
writers in Spain. He is secretary to
De La Huerta. The Spanish embassy
in Mexico has received instructions
from Madrid to keep a close watch on
Aznar's case, as it is feared the
Mexican government may execute
him. The Spanish government under
the dictatorship of Rivera is suppos-
ed to have been in sympathy with
the counter-revolutionists and this
fact may not add to the logevity Of
the captured fictionist.
De La Huerta fled and is still GO
ing so far as Mexico City is aware
of. The farther he keeps away from
the industrial centers the better for
him. Oregon has immensely
strengthened his position with the
workers and agrarians since the at
tempt on the part OF the reaction
aries to overthrow the republic.

THE THEATRE
BY D'FERRIER

III.
Judged strictly as an entertain
ment, "Topsy and Eva, the Duncan
Sisters musical version Of "Uncle
Toms Cabin, must be ranked higher
than any other attraction now play
ing in Chicago theatre. The story
of the play, which of course is given
minor consideration, is a simple little
tale of the love of the angelic Eva
St. Clare for the impish little colored
girl, Topsy; and the fight Of George
Shelby to win back his mothers
plantation, along with the three love
plots, is the background, until the
finale. The author knew everyone
would anticipate seeing Simon Leg
rec, so he was put in the first act
and then eliminated for the rest Of
the evening. There are no blood
hounds and Eliza does not cross any
ice, the unpleasant portions Of the
old play being absent to make room
for new incidents Of more humorous
intent.
Rosetta Duncan, as Topsy, proves
to be an inexhaustible source of
humor in both action and talk, and
her sister, Vivian, as Eva st. Clare,
is beautiful both to look at and to
hear. She is an excellent foil. for the
deviltries Of her playmate. When
these two are on the stage, they set
pace hard for the others to follow
and it is to the credit of the, other
members Of the cast that there few
let-downs in the performance. But
when "the Dunes" sing Songs as
trivial as "Do-Re-Mi', or as meri-
torious as "Remembrin' 1T makes
no difference. They are superb doing
either. Few, if any, other toilers in
musical shows have as vivid and
charming personalities and as delight
full accomplishments as the sisters
from San Francisco.
"Topsy and Eva" has the best look
ing chorus seen in these parts in
many months, and in Harriet Hector,
has danseuse premiere as graceful
as the bird she initiates in one Of her
dances. Mana Bryant, playing the
jolly Northern girl who "gets" her
Southern man, George Shelby, has
that rare combination: good looks and
a most pleasing voice. The whole
cast, for that matter, is unique in its
members having better-than-av
voices.
The show, which is presented at the
Selwyn theatre, had run on the
coast longer than many musical at
fractions achieve in the more popul-
Gus district of Manhattan, and is
playing Chicago previous to its in
vasion Of the east, where, in COM
parison to most eastern shows of its
kind, it is good enough to last for
ever.

ARE LYNCHED BY.
FURIOUS M 0 B S
City Hall Becomes a
Funeral Pyre

BERLIN, Feb. 13.-Bloody fighting
has broken out between separatists
and Germans loyal to the Reich in
Pirmasens, Bavarian PaIatinate, ac-
cording to dispatches here today.
Herr Schwab, Separatist leader,
was lynched by mob of infuriated
Germans.
Twenty of Schwab's followers were
burned to death in the city hall.
Dispatches received here up to
noon said total Of 10 were known
to be dead at that hour. The Sepa-
ratists had lost % killed and the citi-
zens 81.
Separatists Open Fire.
Maddened mobs Of Infatuated citi-
zens continued to hunt down Sepa-
ratists thruout Pirmasens today.
Trouble began late yesterday when
citizens of Pirmasens, reinforced by
the fire department, started a con-
certed attack upon the Separatists.
Provided with plentiful supplies of
ammunition, the Separatists rallied
and fired heavy volleys, wounding
many of the attackers, who were
armed with rifles, picks, shovels and
axes.
Firemen flung ladders against the
city hall and climbed up in the face
Of the Separatist fire, fighting as
they mounted. The attackers could
make little progress against the al
most impregnable position. There
fore they set fire to the entire build
ing. AS the dense smoke clouds set
tied smotheringly thru the building,
many of the Senaratists fled from
the death trap but twenty, remain
ing inside. were burned to death.
Leader Dies in Flames.
While the Separatist funeral pyre
that had been city hall was still
flaming the mob, now lost to blood
lust, launched city-wide hunt for
Separat ists--rooting them out Of beds
and houses TO meet sharp punish
ment or death wherever found.
Later reports from Pirmasens said
Schwab. after being beaten almost
70 death BY the mob "died In the
flames"
Evidently the government commits
sar. who fell into the hands Of the
mob during the murderous orgy, was
man-handled fearfully and then
driven back into the furnace-like
city hall, where his comrades had
taken refuge and were roasting,

SchipG Lacking in
Sincerity Nth His
Lights and Grease
By ALFRED V. FRANKENsTETN

by, Affixed v. FhANhENSIElN
Singers of two different kinds
filled the Auditorium theater last
Sunday. In the afternoon Tito
Schipa, popular Italian tenor Of the
Chicago opera, gave recital. We
heard him sing number of songs
in sentimental style. He made a
manful attempt to sing English, and,
failing entirely, devoted the rest Of
his program to foreign languages.
Schipa possesses perfect tone, prob
ably the most perfect tone of any
tenor before the public today, and
he handles his voice masterfully.
But he lacks, as at least half of the
"stars" Of the Chicago Civic Opera
lack, sincerity and depth of inter-
probation. One felt that he never
could forget the footlights and the
grease paint and mummery of opera.
He never forgot his frock coat and
solidifed hair, never projected him
self into the spirit Of what he was
singing.
Feodor Chaliapin sang in the
evening. Chaliapin is more than a
great singer, he is a great actor.
When he sings the "Song of the
Boatman Of the Volga' he is no
longer big singer on concert plat
form, he is laborer, pulling tow
rope along the banks of the river.
When he sings Rimsky- Korsakoff's
prophet" he is the inspired leader
Of a new and beautiful creed. Com
pared to Feodor Chaliapin all other
musicians and sweet singers fade
away, and the memory Of the great
Russian alone remains.
Emil Telmanyi, new Hungarian
violinist, played at the Blackstone
theater on the same day. We heard
him play the Mendelssohn concerto,
and one encore. He is a splendid
performer, with more fire and vigor
than many another popular violin
list. Perhaps he is too inclined to
technical brilliance, forgetting the
more quiet and lyric side of his art,
but, with the proper press-agenting
he will take his place as one of the
big talents Of the time.

the number of challenges to shoot it
