You will find, for instance, jthat all the major improvements marking the progress of X the piano were originated, and were brought to pcr fection. in the Steinway workshops. You will dis X cover that five years and eleven months of painstaking preparation arid workmanship is required to build a X Steinway piano. You will find that literally scores of the most famous p^nists in the musical world not only use the Steinway on the concert stage, but in their < homes; subjecting them, day after day and year after X year, to the most strenuous practice. And afterward, when you are seated at any one of the many Steinway models . .t . try the beautiful , liquid treble, crystal clear " . sense the rolling sonority of the bass . . . touch the middle section and set the singing, golden mezzo tones floating. . . . 5§f Then, if you are a really careful and logical buyer, you X become the owner of the Stcinway. £ if* Any new Stcinway may ba purchasrd with a small cash deposit, and Iks balance will ba extended over a pariod of three years. •Used pianos accepted in partial exchange.

For the past 17 years Mrs. Johnson lias been carrying on an advanced experiment In education. She is verifying tho theories set forth by Dr John Dewey of Columbia unlver sity In "Democracy in Education." Her program Is based on the thesis that during the period of life from conception to 14 years of age all training should sties* physical and spiritual development. She holds that moral habits are fixed only through exercise In moral situations. Mrs Johnson’s results are an inspiration to teachers and parents who have come In contact with her personally and have learned of her work. The Omaha school forum, under whose auspices Mrs. Johnson speaks, cordially invites all who are interest ed to attend. "Education Is Growth" is Mrs Johnson's subject. | Personals v Mrs. J.

And then tlie empala and koodoo, the latle^ getting as large as horses und with enormous spiral horns. Then there are the sable, or black buck, which get quite large and have great horns which curve hack, and the wilder beast which looks more like a buffalo than anything else. There are also quite a few leopards, but no Hons or ele phants. Kails To Get a Sable. "I had quite a few shots at sable, but was never able to bring one down. The koodoo were very wild and hard to get close to. I found I was not as good a shot as I had Imagined, and had to get within about 100 yards to be able to hit anything. I did manage to get two small buck and quite a number of partrldgea with the shotgun. Got two with one shot once. "I enjoyed the camp life ever so much. We would generally go swim ming In the afternoon In a river about three miles away. It was hardly deep enough to swim In. except In one place, where you could swim on your back for 20 or 25 feet. Sometimes we would go out for the day in the car and take our luncl\ and hunt all day. The country is generally li^t, but sprinkled thickly with flat-topped hills called ‘kopjes,1 about 200 or 300 feet high generally. They are quite steep sided generally, rising abruptly from the ground, and we would climb one of them to locate our game. Vou can see great distances from the tops of some of them, and with the aid of glasses you could locate gams a mile away in the brush. They can hear wonderfully well and you must be especially careful In stalking. Vou must also be careful of the wind, as they can scent you at a great distance even In still air. I enjoyed it aU tre mendously and^the two weeks seemed to pass all totfqulckly. We had won derful weather every day, Just a little rain, very dry, on one occasion. Time came to pack up again on Sunday morning the 24tb, and In about two hours everything was ready to thovs. Ws left about noon and had a terrible time getting through the first drift—even with the aid ^>f a team of tight oxen. The sand was quits bad for a ways, too, and we all had to get out and push. African Football Game. Returning to Johannesburg, Mr. Adams Is engaged in a gay round of pleasures. He goes on: After luncheon we went to an English football game—which la quite different from the American game by the same name. There are 15 men on a side and If any of ’em gets ifurt they’rs not allowed to put In a substitute but are required to play without him. I failed to get the same thrill out of It. however, even after beginning to understand it. It Is much more open, llfo our basket ball and soccer. The game was be tween a visiting English team sup posed to be made up of the best players In Britain—quite a number of whom Peg knew—having met them before at an earlier game at Jo'burg. The local Pretoria team, however, beat them all hollow, 7 to 0. I'm afraid the English players | had not been keeping the best of training, as the party after the game showed. Visits City Deep Mine. Had to be up early the next *iorn Ing to visit one of the deepest mines in the world—the City Deep—a gold mine. Johannesburg Is situated right in the middle of a gold field about 70 miles long and known as the Rand. Most all the big mines are known as '‘Deeps”—Dutch, I guess. After going down Into the mine, Mr. Adams says: "At the end of the long passage we came on a new shaft, 30 feet In diameter and lined with concrete blocks. It was a wonderful work— came straight from the surface and went 1,600 feet below where we stood—6,700 feet In all, making It be low sea level! They had special per mission to take us down to this new lowest working level and we were lowered down In a big bucket to see them drilling and working from a platform suspended a few feet above the bottom. Before they finished they Intended going below 6,000 feet. The shaft had already cost more than a million pounds, and everything seemed to be built In so permanently —they said the nAne was getting richer as they went deeper and the ore was testing about 8 c^t. to the ton. It was tefrlbly hot down there— even the rock was warm to the hand, and although they said It was only 90 degrees It seemed much hotter be cause of the poor ventilation. There was a complete ventilating system operating but It was not working very well at this new level. Sifted Across Corduroy. We saw all the enormous crushers which reduced the hard gold-bearing rock to a regular powder. This powder la then mixed with water and flows over heavy-ribbed corduroy tables—the gold settling out and catching in the tufts of corduroy. This catches about 60 per cent of tfee gold and is much more economical than the mercury amalgam process. The remaining 40 per cent of the gold Is dissolved out of the sludge by a cyanide process which causes it to be deposited on xinc filings or chips —and the amalgamation process la used to remove this—and they get all but about 4 per cent of the total gold.

T. Gullfoyle/’ In writing the club for 10 tickets, this appreciative man said: "Schipa Is without doubt the most remarkable tenor of the day. His singing is flawless and his lnterpre tations are masterful. Tils voice has the sweet, lyrical and appealing quail ty of John McCormack, though to a greater degree. Besides. Schipa has a greater range and is as much at home In music of the dramatic type as of the lyric. The head tones of McCormack are beautiful, but the head tones and fine spun pianissimo notes of Schipa are of a quality and perfection that human ears have not heretofore been privileged to hear." After this song of praise, the writ er added a postscript: "No, I'm not an Italian. Sure, I's an Irishman.” Mother Training Class. f A Mother Training class will be or ganfzed Monday, October 13, at 7:30 p. m.t on the sixth floor of th# City Hajl.
