Three years ago a fourteen-year-old
girl singing in thechoi r of a Wichi

hailed one of the “discoveries” of
modern opera. She is completing
her musical education in Europe, with
Jlrae. Emma Calve, under the guar
dianship of the Wichita Rotary Club.
Calve heard Kathleen sing while
the French opera star was on cen
cert tour of North and South Amer
ica in 1922. She consented to a
newspaperman’s request to introduce
the girl and "was so charmed toy the
imprompto recital that she insisted
Kathleen should accompany her on
her return to France.

Pent Up Entnusiasm Has Outlet In
Poem By Charming Southern
Beauty.
Alaska holds much fascination for
Mrs. H. Sanwick, charming southern
girl, who has been a visitor in Sew
ard for the past few days while the
U. S. S.S. Boxer was in port, on
which slaunch little vessel, her hus
band is chief engineer. Accepting an
invitation extended to her by the Bu
reau of Education'department, under
whose jurisdiction the vessel is oper
ated. Mrs. Sanwick was delighted to
join her husband and get a glimpse
o<f life on the high seas, as well as
to visit that land of alleged mystery
and romance—Alaska!
That the land has enchanted her
is easily seen in the outburst of
verse published in this issue. This
is Mrs. Sanwick’s first trip to the
Territory but it will not be her last,
according to her husband, for she is
a splendid sailor, not missing a meal
on the rough trip north from .Seattle,
and, unless the department frowns
upon the practice of carrying extra
passengers, she may keep house on
board ship.
Anyway, the contrast from residing
in Alabama and Florida, than to Al
aska, where she expected to be smoth
ered in fur garments to keep out the
wintry blasts of blue Arctic blizzards,
was far from what she expected, for,
the ice bergs are missing, as well
as the reputed big snows and freez
ing gales, in fact, she wears less
clothing than wrhen she left Seattle.
The reporter aboard the ship acci
dentally met in with Mr. Sanwick, and
upon enquiry by the reporter as to
the passenger aboard was greeted by
Mrs. Sanwick, who drawled that
southerii accent “Sure, I’s from Ala
bam!” And from then on she had
the floor.
“Stories, stories, stories, all of
them,” Mrs. Sanwick remarked last
evening. “If only the people of the
United States truly knew -the real
Alaska—how speedily she would be
developed and come into her own.”
Mr; Sanwick is a “sourdough,” hav
ing followed the sea for the last
twelve years, in Alaskan waters. Dur
ing this time he has made numerous
cruises into the Bristol Bay district,
Cook Inlet, and in 1918 was employ
ed by the old Alaska Engineering
Commission, now the Alaska Rail
road, operating a river steamer on
the Susitna. He is an efficient offi
cer, well thought of by his employ
ers, and is fairly well settled on the
first rung of engineering success.

USE ULTRA-VIOLET RAY TO
GET MORE AND BETTER EGGS
MADISON, Wis., Jan. 15. (£>)—'The
ultra-violet ray, already employed
profitably by medical men to heal
human ills, is being used at the Uni
versity of Wisconsin to produce “more
and better” eggs and chickens.
Nearly three times as many eggs
can be produced by action of the
ray, th dpartments of agricultural
chemistry and poultry have found.
Heavier shells in irradiated pens
also increased marketability of eggs
and greater hatchability resulted. The
ultra-violet light was found to cure
fowls suffering from rickets.
HELIUM GAS NEW FACTOR
IN DEEP SEA DIVER TEST
WASHINGTON, D. C., Jan. 14. <JP)
—Experiments with helium, the non.
dnflamable, inert gas used in inflat
ing navy dirigibles, hold promise of
increasing the depth to which divers
may descend and of decreasing the
danger from pressure to divers, Rear
Admiral J. D. Beuret, chief of the
Navy Bureau of Construction and Re
pair, said today in his annual re
port.
Experiments are being conducted
to reduce the dangerous effects from
the absorption of nitrogen by the
blood in deep sea diving. These in
dicate, it was said, that “a mixture
of helium and oxygen may permit the
diver to descend safely to greater
depths than have hitherto been reach
ed and may also permit a more rapid
ascent without danger to the diver.”
NEW YORK, Jan. 14. (/P)—Rosa
Ponselle, prima donna of the Metro
politan Opera Company, is conduct
ing a quiet search for an American
protege to succeed her.
The dramatic soprano has no in
tention of an early retiremnt—she is
yet to reach thirty years fo age and
the full length of her career. The
protege is being sought because Miss
Ponselle desires to show that others
may succeed in opera and concert
work with training in America.
GEESE SHOD WITH TAR WHEN
MARCH TO MARKET BEGINS
BERLIN, Jan. 15. (£>)—Holiday
ge eesd ,rviaenmynyt6^wDusage ,
geese, driven many miles ifrom Po
land to markets on the German fron
tier, are shod with a tar preparation
in order to stand the strain of the
Jong walks. The tar sticks to the
feet and prevents bruising.
What roast turkey is to the An
glo-§axon dinner, roast goose is to
the Germans. A goose in the hands
of a German housewife is utilized
as completely as the pig in an Am
erican slaughter house. The fat and
even the entrails areused in mak
ing “drippings,” a delicacy which
takes the place of butter on the fam
ily table.
