W. C. A. are arranging a gala program for presentation Wednesday and Saturday nights of this week under the title of “The Staff Stunt.”” This is the annual entertainment of the members of the| association staff. On Wednesday night the program will be presented in Epiphany Hall, 1317 G street, at 8:30 o'clock. Saturday night the enter- tainment will be given at the Eliza- beth Somers branch of the associa- tion at 1104 M street at the same hour as on Wednesday. ‘The program really a parody program, with mauy clever imitations of standard types of vaudeville acts. Miss Gertrude MacArthur, the execu- tive secretary of the board of the as- sociation, will impersonate the prima donna in a selection from a rather obscure Italian opera known as “Poi- sonous Pietro; or Broken Vows.' though this is listed as grand opera. we have the word of Miss Elsie Bunt- ing chairman of the program com- mittee, that it has a decidedly comic rather than tragic atmosphere. Miss Charlotte Baer, the accom- plished swimming inustructor of the association, will give a clog dance. Miss Florence Dunlop, secretary of the business girls' department, and Miss Jean Campbell, head of the publicity department of the association, wiil give an interpretation somewhat like that popular act, “Mr. Gallagher and Mr. Shean.” The song will have some local hits in its interpretation by these artists. Miss Mildred King, secretary of the industrial girls’ department, will im- personate Madame Hoodunit, spirit- ualistic medlum, who can tell any one in the audience where her last year's toothbrush is now and why {t is is damp when it rains. Miss Katherine Thompson will act as madame's as- sistant, gathering little trinkets of Identity from .those in the audience and otherwise making herself useful in alding madame's unusual power to develop under the most favorable con- ditions possible. The last number on the program will be a clever little sketch by the noted authoress, Susan Glaspel]l, en- titled “Surprised Desires.” The actors fn this play were coached by Mrs. Al M. Morse. Those having the roles In the play are Miss Margaret McCann, Miss Loulse Poindexter and Miss Jewel Trexler. ~Following the performance, candy, jce cream and cake will be sold to those in the audience who feel the need of refreshment after this marvel. ous program.

IT is reported that an' English scien- tfst and investigator has hit upon a manner of gas hesting that may greatly change our methods of using | fuel. When a mixture of gas and air | under high pressure {is directed against a red-hot firebrick held al short distance away the mixture will burn at the surface of the brick.| Now, if such & mixture of gas and air | is forced through the porous brick and lighted on the farther side it will burn like an ordinary gas flame; but if more or less gas Is used it ceases to burn, but the porous surface be- comes white hot. In that way It is possible, with economy of fuel, to get a tempera- ture far above the meiting point of platinum. This flameless heater has been used for heating boilers, and it in claimed that it will do away with grates, smokestacks and chimneys, that it produces ne smoke or objec- tionable odor, and that it utilizes 30 per cent of the heat value of the fuel. —_— Chicken and Pepper Pie. ! t some creamed bolled enipicen | inte"a “baking dish and cover with! try.
