CHORAL SOCIETY HAS A
GET-TOGETHER MEETING

On Tuesday evening the newly
organized choral society held its
first get-together of a social nature
with its director, Prof. Otto B.
Schacht, as host. The party con-
sisting of choral society members,
their wives, husbands and friends
motored to Olson's Bay for an in
Iormal picnic supper. There was
a spirit of friendliness and neigh
oorliness that at once indicated a
good time. Byrd Brownell oblig-
ingly acted as chef and was ably
assisted by John Balls.
Following the meal an impromptu
and intensive program of sports
took place in which the ladies as
well as the men displayed their
skill. Nothing diffuses an atmos-
phere like group singing and the
evenings pleasure was in large
measure attributable to the re-
hearsals of the choral numbers and
1ne singing of old-time favorits,
much to the pleasure of those within
earring. The memory of the event
will linger long after bruises, fly
bites and hoarse threats have dis
appeared.

And That's Why Duntile Walls
Are Stronger.

Every one knows the
strength of good concrete.
That the nations roads, dams,
bridges and other large under
takings are carried out in that
material, is sufficient proof of
its quality. The same strength
is built into every Duntile, and
although the air space makes
each one light in proportion to
its size, a consideration of the
design of the unit will show
that no part of that strength
is lost.
There are good reasons for
the horizontal circular hole in
Duntile-it didn't just hap
pen that way. First it car
ries out the principle of the
arch so that all the weight
coming above the opening is
transmitted to the sides, and
second, it leaves the entire
area top and bottom free for
bonding.
Just as the arch makes pos
sible bridges and buildings
that support tremendous loads,
so it provides DUNTILE with
great strength in proportion
to its weight.
There's no injury to DUN
TILE dumped on the job. See
the unloading process at the
New Hotel. Dumped directly
on to the pavement and no
breakage.
DUNTILE houses are al
ways cooler in summer and
warmer in winter.
