DAWSON c Ii [
BIG ASSET To
MUSIC
Choir of Thirty Male Voices
Gives Splendid Program in
First of Concerts
By JESSIE MacBRIDE

The Dawson Glee Club of about
thirty mems voices, under John X.
Monroe. conductor. are to be con-
graduated for their style in singing,
the dignity of their program, and
for their ambition in essaying the
very highest form of choral music,
in their first concert of the season
given last evening at the Masonic
Auditorium.
Two of the most significant things
they gave We're the Three pictures"
from the Rubenstein Tower of
Babel" in which Adolph Torovsl<y,
at the piano. contributed largely by
his effective playing of the music
that is so rich in the semi-barbaric
spirit of the East. and the BrahmE

phrase. brought the mystic quality
into the singing of the Lofty Ce
dars." gave color and Illusion. were
cOmmendable in the soft. floating
quality they gave and in certain
we'll accented bits that gave life to
their soft singing.
The full-voiced effects were not
so we'll balanced. for here the tenor
quality needed subduing. as 1t blared
forth entirely out of the picture.
In the first selections of early
church music. given "a capella,"
there was sincere musiciansfip, but
the need OF more attention to quail
ity in the parts-yet this is the
most difficult music~to attempt and
the shading of it was vel handled
The "Crucifixus." which was un.
fortunately applauded, was a good
piece Of ensemble with really potent
spirit in it.
So swift and so light was tn.
soft "Fireflies." a Russian folksona
that had TO be repeated that it was
almost bewildering. That was art.
And the Brahms waltz. in staccato,
was exceedingly good, while his syn
copated Hungarian "Spiteful Neigh
bors." was n fine bit of interpre-
tatton.

Rum for Injustices to

BATTLE CREEK, Mich, Dec. q.
: IF another attempt is made to
prosecute Arthur Rich, wealthy
manufacturers son, for alleged
assault on Miss Louise King. Battle
Creek college coed, his attorneys
will use every legal means tn OBJ
tain a change of venue, they an
nounced today.
The jury reported itself unable
to agree at 1910 o'clock last night
and Judge Walter II! North dis
charged it.. The last poll taken
showed nine for conviction ANA
three for acquittal, it was reported.
Too much liquor. a May moon
and q vivacious coed.
These and the fact that young
people have fallen since the time
of the Garden of Eden" were
blamed today by Attorney w. j.
Barnard for the alleged attack.
Barnard, making the closing de-
tense argument to the jury, de-
nouneed Miss King as a willing
participant in the automobile ride
which wound up in a petting party
on the golf course of country club.
He declared that Miss Kings story
that Rich had attacked her. and that
she had screamed as she fought
him was untrue.
Miss King was drunk, too much
LIQUOR on that pe,I1ng party is to

The attorney declared that some
of the testimony in the case had
caused him to blush.

A worldwide survey of weather
conditions is IN progress. Data over
q period of years covering most OF
the earth are required to make even
accurate forecasts for short periods.
There are certain laboratories
where Americas winter is brewed.
Early reports from these remote
localities is essential to forecasting.
Winter in this country depends
upon conditions along the Japanese
and Chinese coasts, Alaska, the
Hudson bay rcuntry. Newfoundland,
the polar regions, Siberia and the
gulf district. according to Weather
Bureau experts.
The complexity of forecasting
was illustrated by a weather map,
which for a single day indicated a

LONG DUE,
EXPERT
AYERS
Points Out Law of Averages.
Last Real Cold in 1917,
He Recalls
BY ROBERT S. THoRNBURGH

BY ROBERT S. THORNBURGH
Americas hardest winter in
years." long overdue, is certain to
arrive during the next three
months, according to the unofficial
predictions of weather experts to-
day.
Weather bureau officials de-
clared that if a series of icy biz
yards and unprecedented "hard'
weather does not sweep the United
States this season the "law of
averages" should be discarded as
a rule.
Predict Polar Weather
In 1917, records show, the country
suffered its last really bitter win
ter. Comparatively mild winters
followed, Last December, based on
the rule that a bad winter follows
a good one, experts predict severe
weather.
Again now they come forward
with the prediction that within the
next few weeks regular" winter
will set in and that January, F'ebru4
airy and March will see the staging
OF a record polar celebration through
the temperate zone.
Included in the unofficial fore
cast, is a white Christmas north
of the Mason and Dixon line, with
plenty of cold weather in many
sections of the South.
New England is due for probably
the worst taste of winter. while
the lake regions, Middle and North
West will suffer, If the signs are
accurate.
All of Them See Cold
All the unofficial forecasters along
the north Atlantic Coast see moth
ing but billiards and gales for the
next few months.
The animals have heavy coats,
the squirrels are working overtime
storing up winter food and the
bark on the trees is unusually thick,
according to reports.
Already a succession of gales has
swept the Atlantic seaboard with
heavy toll of lives and shipping
property.
Rum Row is reported scattered
by gigantic waves and wind and
coastwise cities have suffered
severely.
Meteorologists at the Weather
Bureau declared, however, that long
range forecasting is not always ac-
curate.
Within few years it is likely
that official forecasters will be able
to issue predictions a month or
more in advance with some degree
OF accuracy, they said.
