NEW COURSES AT U. S.
LABORATORY ANNOUNCED
Series of Lessons in Gluing, Kiln Drying and
Boxing at Madison, Wis., to Be
Largely Practical.
A new series of instruction on woodworking sub-
jects, interesting to workers in music goods factories,
will be begun March 25 at the U. S. Forest Labora-
tory, Madison, Wis., under the direction of C. P.
Winslow.
The one-week course in the gluing of wood will
begin March 25. The maximum enrollment for this
course is sixteen and the cooperative fee required
of each man enrolled, $100.
The laboratory's short course in the kiln drying
of lumber will begin April 1. This is a two-weeks'
course limited to eighteen enrollments. The coopera-
tive fee is $150 for each man enrolled.
A short course in boxing and crating will also
begin April 1. This course is of one week's duration,
with the cooperative fee of $100 per man. The max-
imum enrollment is twenty.
Emphasis will be placed on practical rather than
theoretical methods, and full use will be made of the
laboratory's extensive experimental and testing equip-
ment. Formal lectures will be dispensed with as far
as possible in favor of actual demonstrations, tests,
and round table discussions in which members of the
classes take active part.
Attendance in the courses is limited in order to
provide for individual instruction and attention to
t'le special problems of the different members of each
class.
Applications for enrollment in the kiln drying,
gluing, and boxing and crating courses should be
addressed to the director, Forest Products Labora-
tory, Madison, Wis.

Cyrena Van Gordon Sings
Cyrena Van Gordon, contralto of the Chicago Civic
Opera Company, was heard in several numbers at
the second program over the blue network. The
Baldwin Singers, a distinguished male quartet con
sisting of Victor Edmunds, George Rasely, Erwyn
Mutch and James Davies, assisted on this program.
Miss Van Gordon, who is one of America's most
popular singers, was born in Camden, Ohio, a little
town near Cincinnati. She has added to her operatic
repertoire in the years with the Chicago Civic Opera
Company roles in Aida, Trovatore and Masked Ball
of Verdi, Saint-Saens' Samson and Delilah, Pon-
chielli's La Giaconda, Massenet's Heriodiade, and
Hamlet of Thomas. This American singer is partic-
ularly well suited for leading contralto and mezzo-
soprano roles in Wagnerian operas. Aside from her
