Peoples Chorus Wins New Honors With “Messiah”

By WALTER D. HICKMAN V r ALUE of community singing was proven last night by the I singing of Handel's “Messiah" *at the Cadle Tabernacle by the Peeples Chorus. I welcome any honest attempt to Interest as many singers as possible In good music. When hundreds of singers are used, the public generally Is interested. This chorus last night proved beyond any doubt that a quarter may purchase the best music. The chorus

deserves praise for presenting this really great oratorio in the manner a? presented last night. A mighty large audience was present. Last night was highly successful for many reasons. First, Edward B Birge is an able conductor. He knows how to build up a chorus for the best results. Mrs. Dorothy Knight Greene was at the piano and Mrs. William E. Duthie was at the big organ. Then to obtain the required results, the Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra was present. ,

These musicians made possible beautiful playing of the score. Then as a background to the entire oratorio was the splendid chorus of several hundred voices. We have every right as citizens of Indianapolis to be proud of this chorus. It must live and grow. : No Better Choice of I Soloists Could Be Desired This oratorio demands exceptionally gifted soloists and such artists were present. George W. Kadel, tenor, has been heard In this city many times. It seems to me that his tone is becoming even more beautiful and even than before. This comes from careful study and training. He was magnifi- i cent. Miss Norma Mueller, contralto, j showed a splendid understanding of

“Quality and Service” Slogan Guides Destiny of Haskett Lumber Company

For years Indianapolis has been accredited with standing the strain of, financial depression better than the average city of its size. This condition la due, no doubt, to the fact that It Is the home of a large number of big manufacturing plants and large, solid, substantial businesses. Under the latter head falls the O. D. Haskett Lumber Company. This lumber company, under the management of O. D. Haskett, haa made a wonderful growth since its organization. The keynote of the success of the plant may bo found in the slogan of the oompony “Quality and Service’’ for these are the characteristics that have built the stabilized reputation of the company. Great care has always been taken to insure prompt delivery of orders so that the builder need lose no time. Lumber Yard Neatly Kept The sheds are painted brown with white trim. A brick drive extends rom the street through ttia yards. The lawn is as neatly kept as a parkway, while the great iron fence forms an insurmountable wall. The yard is one-half a block wide and two full Mocks long with capacity for storing an immense amount of lumber. The facilities for caring for lumber rre of the very best. A railroad track extends along the entire length of the yard and fourteen cars may be pulled onto this siding to be un-

THAT'S about the size of It! You will look a long way to find lumber any more durable or any more honestly priced than ours.

Fred Nevel Morris, oass, who has sung this oratorio many times, was greeted with applause which proved with what esteem and favor Indianapolis regards him. Last night was really a treat and really guarantees the future of the Peoples Chorus.

loaded at one time. They are switched so that the car is brought up alongside the shed thereby eliminating unnecessary handling. In case of hardwood, which must be kiln-dried, the lumber Is carrlod by train cars from the siding. All hardwoods leave the plant in excellent condition because of being dried in the company’-i own kilns. This is recognized as a greater • advantage than ever since the Increased use of gum, which gives very poor satisfaction unless properly dried. Four trucks, painted a sliver gray with black trim, bearing the acorn trademark, are kept in constant service delivering to all parts of the city. These trucks are kept clean as Is everything about the yard from the front offices to the last shed.

Much progress has been made in the planning of the small cottage. No longer is the small house one of few conveniences or little attraction, for the skillful planning and beauty of detailed finishing may be attained quite as successfully In the small house as in the larger one. A small house of unusual convenience is that of Mr. and Mrs. G. B. Watkins, 24 E. Sixteenth St., which has recently been built by the Krebav Oonstruotion Company. 615 City Trust hul’ding. The structure stands high above the street with stone steps leading up to the broad front porch. Tha lawi. la terraced, making a very attractive setting for the house which is constructed of wide white siding. Interior Convenient The interior of-the house is very convenient. A large living room extends across the front with n fireplace fashloned of rough surface bricks centering the north wall. This fireplace ia cheery with the furniture of the room grouped around it.

Included are contracts for Keifer Meyer, Antonio Vonnegut, F. H. Sedbrock, Clarence Stanley, A. Kaufman, M. B. Sherwood, Oren Ragsdale and Dr. Goethe Link. Whan asked what advice he would give to a man about to build, Mr. Haskett briefly stated It would be: “Employ a good architect, follow his specifications and buy from a lumber company in which T had confidence — a company from which I could get what I ordered when 1 ordered it."

davenport stands In front of it. The chimney extends above the mantel to the ceiling, forming a very substantial app--tring and effective wall. This room is .veil-lighted by the windows at the tiont and both ends of the room through the daylight hours and by the ceiling shower and wall sconces. Opening from the east side of the fireplace are French doors which lead to the dining room, while just beyond lies the kitchen. The door on tho west side of the fireplace opens into a bedroom and between this bedloom and the one occupying the northwest corna; is the bathroom. There is a small nail with doors opening into the kitchen, bath and the two bedrooms. The kitchen is finished in French gray with built-in cabinets' and cupboards taking up a good part of the wo 11-space on the east. A small breakfast table enameled in gray stunds in front of an east window and makes a delightful place for the early morning breakfast. The refrigerator is also enameled in gray and is so arranged that it may be Iced from an outside entry; thus eliminating the dirt incident to icing. The stairs to the well equipped basement lead down from the kitchen.

VALUE OF PLAY IS BEING RECOGNIZED Recreational Rooms in Homes Furnish Fireside Entertainment, More and more homes being built today are planned with the specifications demanding a recreation or social room. This has been found to be one of the most effective ways in which to take care of the home recreation of the entire family. In most homes this room is placed in the basement, and really does not require any additional space, as the part of the basement not used for heating plant or laundry may easily be converted Into such a social room. With a little forethought these roorhs may be made most attractive and always they w’fl be found to be the source of a gr deal of satisfaction and pleasure According to J. Kaufman, manager of the Brunswick-Balke-C-ollender Company, 111 S. Pennsylvania St., the company’s demand for pool and billiard tables has been unusually heavy during this Christmas season, indicative of the fact that many are realizing their j great recreational value It has been demonstrated over and, over again that the happiest grown-1 ups are those whose parents realized - the value of play. The billiard table has a general appeal for all members of the family, and for this reason is a fortunate choice for part of the equipment of a recreational room. Best Posters for World Peace Notice of a contest for the best i poster on the subject of world peace j has been issued by the Women’s International League for Peace and Freedom.
