drawn exhibits the astronomical
facts on which this new explana-

Mayans In calendar-making was
based. Remember, to begin with,
that the Mayans dwelt within,

fore learned efforts have been
made to determine by what sys-

astronomers were enabled to fix
the length of the year and pre-

the task was an easy one, re-
quiring no elaborate calculations

only had to watch the shadows.

MISS EICHBAUNl
CHARMS WITH
SONG PROGRAM

One of the most enjoyable events
season was held 1""t evening
in the Parish house when Miss Rebec-
ca Eichbaum appeared in concert
Miss Eichbaum is possessed of a beau
tiful soprano voice, that is not only
sweet but full. This together with her
pleasing personality and marvellous
stage presence captiyated her audi
ence last night.
The first group of songs were var
led, the first song a Spanish number,
the second German, the third French
and the last one Italian.
The Spanish type song was made
popular by the famous tenor Tito
Schipo and carried characteristic
Spanish swing. The number was en-
titled "PrinceSita" The second NUM-
ber "Wiegenlied" was sung with feel
ing and pathos The fourth selection
pace, Pace, Mic DID," by Verdi was
sung with great dramatic ability, and
also a good display of resonance. Miss
Eichbaum was encored after this
group and she responded in a most
gracious manner.
The second group of old familiar
songs gave an opportunity for the
singer to display the beautiful rich
quality that she possesses, and these
numbers were received ---'4'' enthus-
iastic applause The encore to this
group was Songs My Mother Used to

Miss Frances Jacks played Liebes-
traume with good Interpretation and
great dignity, the encore showed great
technical ability.
Perhaps the most dramatic number
on the program was the Song of the
Shirt" and it was splendid it is
descriptive music portraying the life
in old London. This song was well rem
dered.
In the last group of songs, the gen.
eral tone was lighter and the selections
were rendered with decided artistic
touch. In the second song of the
group "I Heard Bird" the pianis-
simo passages were lovely and well
controlled. The encore to this group
was waters Of Minnetonka,''' a song
that everyone knows and loves.
THE program was begun with the
Spanish type of song and ended with
the waltz song Dreamy Sevilla" of
an Italian type. The high notes were
well taken and show vide range of

Miss Frances Jacks was the accom-
panist and she showed marked abil-
ity in assisting the singer, and in solo
numbers was always encored
