DAWSON GLEE CLUB.
Men and Boys Present Program in

Last night at the Masonic Audi

music. The club is composed Of
about so men and boys sincerely IN

this group, but the tenor voices are
inclined 10 be nasal and Colorless.

'Tenebrae factae sunt" and Won

promise OF real beauty, and the weird

given interesting tone color.

achievement of the evening vas the

here for several years, at the Ma

There was hardly a place on the en-
tire program where he did not DEM
onstrate marvellous control over
breath, tone, shading and always eX-
cellent enunciation.
The recital opened with a beautiful
Interpretation in English OF Wolf
gangs Song to an Evening Star,
from "Tannhauser." Then came a
quaint Hungarian folk song on the
tickleness or man. Look. Into Mine
Eye" which won laughter and hearty
applause. Dvorak's Songs My
Mother Taught Me" gave pathetic
contrast in this we'll balanced pro
gram, and the Gounod air was fol-
lowed, by request" with "Ombrie

impressively sung.
In the second group of songs by
Richard Hammond there was the
Hitting swing of the Spanish Can
cion Andaluza." the Scotch twang in
Il Love q LasSie,' a grueSome bit in
"Twa Corbies" and an amusing read
ing of a drinking Song" Then came

beautifully sung. The final encore
was the familiar Tommy Lad If
one could find any Intrinsic flaw in
Mr.. Graveure's singing it would be

Science.

The controversy over the effects OF
ethyl gas, used in motor fuel, came to
a head here in Washington last week
when experts met in conference at the
Public Health Service and heard argu-
ments on both sides in the matter.
The Ethyl Gas Corporation has sus-
pended distribution of the product un-
til a final and authoritative decision is
reached regarding its effect on men
who handle it. The upshot of the con-
ference was the appointment, by the
Surgeon General of a commission of
seven to determine whether use of
ethyl gas is harmful. One of the in
teresting facts brought out at the con.
ference was that the Standard Oil Co.
of New Jersey has been experiment
ing with ethyl gas because the dimin.
ishing petroleum supply has made ii
necessary to increase the effectiveness
of motor fuel,
