I STEIN WAY
THE INSTRUMENT OF THE IMMORTALS
ftf’ ? iaW i.
f IGNACE PADEREWSKI AT HIS STEINWAY 1
%ou need never buy another piano
X ,To THOSE wfyo wish to know the reason for the su
premacy of the Steinway, the bare recital of the truth
is utterly convincing. 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.
Prices $875.00 and up

Noted Educator
to Speak
Mrs. Marietta Johnson, director of
the Organic school, Fairhope, Ala.,
wilt speak at Technical High school
auditorium Monday, October 13, 4:15
o'Moek.
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.

rhe tyuck, with rather nice horns, one
of which 1 shot later. 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.

Tito SCHIPA, noted tenor, who
will sing here October 22 for the
Tuesday Musical club, t>as at
least one enthusiastic admirer In
Omaha who signs himself "L. 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.”
