Harvard GIee, Thursday.
The Harvard Giee Club, under
the leadership of Doctor Archibald
r. Dawson. will make its annual
visit to Washington on Thursday
afternoon at AS o'clock at the Ma
fional Theater. This appearance
Is under the local management OF
the T. Arthur Smith, Inc, concert
bureau.
In the comparatively short time
this mems chorus of the highest
ideals Of program and performance
has been devoting itself entirely to
good music, a chorus OF recognized
merit has been developed. The ciuD
has over ESQ members who represent
nearly every department OF the uni
versity.
These men sing for recreation
because they like singing. They
practice good music because they
prefer this type; and they. gladly
undergo great deal OF hard work
in order that the quality Of the
singing shall not fall short OF that
of the music. The success OF the.
Harvard Glee Club in its chosen
field can be traced directly to the
efforts OF one man, Doctor Archi-
bald T. Dawson of the music de-
partment. BY his winning person
atty and inspiring leadership he
has been able to instill In his
chorus a love Of good music.
The program on Thursday after
noon will include compositions by
Arcadelt, Parry, Byrd, Gretchaninov,
Morley, PouIenc, Bantock, Sullivan,
DowIand, Zolotarev, Lassus, Cui,
and Chabrier.
Additional information may be

American industry OF the sterner
sort, lives touched with the hardi-
hood of the great steel mills of our
country, has wrought this marvel.
Like the Meistersinger of Nurem-
berg, these singers live their music,
here in America-the so-called land
of materialism. Their song 10
closely knit with their labor. They
are people of small town.
Doctor J. Fred Wolfe, with his
personal magnetism and great cru
dition. may explain it in his own
humanness.
Some one said that, after the
rendition of the mass, Doctor Wolfe
stood and greeted the singers as
they passed him, calling each by
his name, giving each some per-
sonal word. He Is a. humorist when
off-duty, which corroborates Elmer.

A surprising thing has been
realized out of this sacred festival
and the several other big musical

the large Washington Auditorium.
That is, that so many huge audi

Simple Test Indicating
Suitability of Gasoline

Comprehensive tests of gasoline
quality cannot be made without lab
oratory equipment, and then only by
experienced men, There is a simple
test, however, that can be taken as
directly indicating the suitability of
any gasoline for use in an internal
combustion engine. This test can be
made In few minutes by any motorist
without expense. 1t is conducted as
follows:
Into a small porcelain crucible pour
about 30 C. C. of the fuel to be tested.
Light 1t and allow 1t to burn freely
till the fuel Is entirely consumed. If
only small amount of carbon is left
on the side walls of the crucible, and
the bottom remains practically clean.
the quality Of the fuel is good. II the
deposit of carbon on the side walls
of the crucible is heavy and black, and
If there is a thick black residue at the
bottom, the gasoline is poor There,
are, of course, any number of degrees
Of variation between these two ex-
tremes.
Primary consideration for judging
the quality of gasoline and its suita-
bility for motor vehicle fuel are the
relative ease of starting in cool wealth
er, mileage per gallon in ordinary use,
heaviness or slightness of carbon de-
posits in the combustion chamber. and
degree of adulteration of the lubri-
eating oil in the crankcase.

Fairy Tale
AHAARY GRAHAM BONNER
PLAYING FOUNTAINS

In the center Of square In town
was large, round flower bed.
The flower bed was filed with bright
red geraniums and around its edges
were pansies, myrtle and mignonettes.
Every one in the town loved this
flower bed. 1t belonged to the town.
No one ever picked any of the flowers
from 1t, for If one started to pick
flowers, and then another did the same
thing, and then third should follow
suit and so on, there would be no
flowers at all.
So every one came and looked at the
flowers and admired their bright color
and their beauty and loved them be-
cause they made the town SO pretty
here about the square.
Around this square were paths and
benches and at one side was band
stand.
Here. on summer evenings, the band
played and the people came and
listened to the music and clapped
their hands or footed their automobile
horns to show how much they liked 1t.
People passing through the town
would see the square, and in the cen
ter the beautiful flower bed and would
say:
"Oh, do look Aren't those flowers
lovelyl SO bright and SO gay"
It made everyone very proud of the
flower bed. 1t was cared for by a
gardener who loved flowers, and for
whom flowers always did their best.
Flowers are like people that way.
They do their best for those who
love them, and appear at their best
for those who think they are capable
Of a great deal.
When people from the town came
to the square they spoke of the flow
ers as ''our flowers" and "our flower
bed"
On either side of the flower bed was
fountain. small but very pretty
fountain.
The water dashed up and then broke
in such a pretty spray, and fell down
once more into the tiny, tiny pond
waiting to receive it.
II did this again and again and
again.
And this was the way it was with
each Of the two fountains.
They were both alike. When the
Beverly banner. [volume] (Beverly, N.J.) 1877-1964, 1925-07-31

sun shone down upon them there were
many colors to be seen cleaning and
sparkling In their clear water spray.
The fountains were owned by every
one, too They added to the beauty
of the square.
They, too, were admired by passers-
by. 'What lovely little park they
would say. with the flower bed and
the dear little fountains
Sometimes they were called dear
little fountains" sometimes "pretty
fountains" and sometimes they were
even called darling little fountains"
They never seemed to be weary.
They loved their spraying, tumbling
little game.
They played all the time. They en-
joyed their gentle. water life in the
square.
1--WE play" they said, as they tum-
bled, "our own favorite game 1t is
always the same game.
ave never weary of It,
1--WE can keep on playing 1t day
after day, day after day. with just as
much interest.
IAN old game doesn't tire us. Each
time we do the same trick we are just
as interested as the last time.
"Sometimes when fountains are still
they are taking rest But when they
are playing they always play with just
the same spirit. Some have more
power than others but that doesn't
matter.
"They never play in haIf-hearted
fashion. or half-spraying fashion as
one might say if one were fountain.
THAT is why you may depend upon
II that when fountain Is playing 1t
Is playing in happy way and NOT
in sulky manner.
"a fountain never sulks. Maybe II
a fountain should sulk people wouldn't
say playing fountains and the ex-
preston is so lovely that no fountain
will ever do anything to stop people
from using 1t.
"Either fountain rests entirely or
II plays happily"
People in the square used to say
"What pretty little sounds the foun-
tains make when they play
They were the sounds not only Of
the fountains al play but Of the foun.
tains talking piayfully al out play!

RADIATOR
is BIC CONCERN
Water Circulation Is Essen
tial Feature of Most Gas
oline Engines.

Frequently, the most serious engine
malady, leading to overheating, may
have such a simple origin that it seems
scarcely necessary to call it to the at
tention of either experienced or mex
perienced motorists. Such is the mere
neglect to fill the radiator with water.
Discover Trouble.
How many times has the careless
motorist started on an automobile trip
and, after proceeding short distance,
observed steam emanating from the
radiator? A great many, of course,
with consequent picturesque lam
guage and utilization of the manufac-
turers Of the car. The usual sequence
of events is as follows: The motor
list gets out of his car, raises the hood
and looks suspiciously at the engine.
The engine looks all right. He then
studies the rear axle, and finding moth
ing wrong there, feverishly exam
ines the running board. After half
hour or so of such investigation, it
occurs to him to remove the. radiator
cap, and he makes the astounding dis
covery that there is no water in the
radiator.
Cure Is Simple.
The cure, of course, is very simple
but the danger is that the cure, ap-
piled too late, may not be complete

Ridicule Is Real
Jay-Walking Cure

The pedestrian who disregards
all the principles of safety and
ambles heedlessly about the
streets is rapidly being rele-
gated to the realm of historic
figures. Nobody likes to be
called a "jay-walker," and ridi-
Guile has done a great deal to-
ward eliminating this dangerous
element in traffic control.
Los Angeles is now operating
under a walking ordinance.
and 1t has proved highly success
full. The unlucky individual
who fails to heed the traffic sig
nails Is jeered and laughed at,
and this has proved efficacious
in educating the pedestrian in
the necessity of traffic control.
The pedestrian who ignores
the traffic warning and deliber-
ately walks ahead in defiance of
the regulations contributes dol
lar to the city treasury.

For Economy's Sake

Many motorists run up repair and
upkeep bills unnecessarily through
failure to avoid rough spots in high
ways and through letting the wheels
of their cars drop off the sides of con-
crete roads. Permanent damage may
be done to chassis by allowing the
rear wheels to drop six or eight inches
over the shoulder of a concrete road
Bent rims often result from this.

To Keep Carbon Down

To encounter the least amount of
trouble from carbon formation. the
following rules should be observed:
First, keep the piston rings in proper
condition. Second. use only the best
quality of oil Third, employ the
leanest possible fuel mixture at all
times. and fourth, give the engine a
dose of carbon-removing compound
occasionally.
