More favorable news hasa been re-

Ing: The opinion Of those usually we'll

whether, II the switchmens strike is set
tied by an advance IN wages. that kns
trouble will not extend eastward. Other
switchmen will naturally want an In
crease. The outlook Is not encouraging.
Increased expenses, without the ability

PHILA. ORCHESTRA
SECOND CONCERT
Large Attendance, and a CIaS-
steal Program Ending With
dance Of Death"

1t IL hardly necessary to comment ON
a Philadelphia Orchestra concert audi
ence, as It il 40 much matter OF custom
that It should be a fashionable, brilliant
audience Of representative Wilmington
people. Last night was no exception.
The program was OF more substantial
character than at the last concert, but
many OF the audience felt that In the
EFFORT to attain unity, there WAS same
ness In the music which made It hard to
follow the program with fresh interest
until the end.
The initial number the Chuck overture
with Wagner ending from "Iphigenie on
Aulide," was interesting from the fact
that Gluck. hundred years before wag-
ner, started to reform music and unite II
to drama. The chief remembrance Of an
untechnical critic is that the violins sang
their way sweetiy and gracefully through
the opera. holding supremacy over the
other instruments.
The TsohslkowHky symphony No. az
forded ample opportunities to the teohni-
clans present to follow the soft. wistfui
martial air developed by the brasses, since
II had four movements, (G Andante Sos
tenuto. moderate con Anims, F minor; (b)
Andantino IN Modo di Canzona, B fiat
minor; (c) scherzo. Pizzlcato Estimate
Allegro. F major; I'd Finale, Allegro con
fuoco, f major.
The orchestra did perhaps their best
playing in this symphony. II played as II
the members had always lived in an ele-
ment Of TschaikowslSy. had been drag
ged out OF It for a short time. and were
highly pleased 20 get back. They played
all the jokes that brave NOR ais ever
made about harsh fate. rate did some
growing once in a while-properiy de-
scribed, Il was a solemn. choral effect
given out by the brasses-but optimism
triumphed.
The pizzicato OF the violins In the
scherzo was the most enjoyed portion OF
this famous symphony.
Herman Standby. principal 'ceilist Of the
orchestra. gave the solo. IN symnhonc
variations for violoncello and orchest-s,
by Leon Boeilman. Mr.. sardby's PLAYING
was superb, and called forth the most en-
thusiastic applause OF the evening
This was the only number on the pro-
gram that struck truly pathetic chord.
The cello sang like a human voice-a
captive girl in quiet. hopeless longing for
home. The harp accompanied the voice
most effectively.
The last number, Saint-sae~'s Dance
OF Death" was mirthfui and weird Even
the hardened orchestra members were OBJ
served occasionally to smile.
The clock strikes twelve Death and
his ianky comrades trip Enthusiastically to
and fro. TO a parody on the old Latin day
Of Judgment hymn, 'DIes Irae." The
xyiophone makes a most delightful rat'i-
ing OF bones. and the violins do something
to diminished ffths that gives squeaky,
spooky effect.
At the end ali quiet down. the music be-
comes very beautiful. the v'olins sing and
the 'ceIlos pun Then the cock crows and
al the spirits make frantic haste back to
their tombstones
The soloist Of the previous concert,
Thaddeus Rich. took the violin solo pa~t
Of the Danse. very striknglv. With Herr
Pohlig. he was called before the audi
ence at the end OF the program.

XMAS STAMPS
ARE UNDER BAN
Despite Restrictions Of Few
Foreign Countries Big Sale
Of Suckers Reported

Because OF confusion among foreign
postal authorities over the number of
stamps used on letters reaching them
from the United States, the Red Cross
Christmas stamps and other charity"
stamps placed on mail packages will
have to be used with utmost discre-
ton.
Five foreign governments have
placed restrictions upon the use OF
such stamps. Four of the countries
Great Britain, Orange River Colony.
Southern Rhodesla and the Transvaal
refuse to admit to their mail pack
ages bearing such stamps II they be
affixed 20 the back Of the letter or
parcel. but not II they are placed on
the face Of it.
Concerning the matter the Postoffice
Department has issued a bulletin say
ing that all articles bearing Red Cross
Christmas stamps for transmission in
the international mails should bear
upon the covers the full address OF the
sender.
The Red Cross authorities have
placed on sale throughout the country
millions OF the christmas stamps"
the proceeds Of the sale Of which are
to be devoted by the society to the
work OF lighting consumption. The
stamps will be good in the United
States.
The sale Of the stamps in Wilmington
which started at the postofice yesterday.
/ Is good. The demand is greater than on
the opening days last year and II will in.
crease as Christmas approaches.
Postmaster Jester calls the publio's at
tention to the necessity OF placing the
Red Cross stamps on the back Of letters
and other mail matter, and not on the
front. He also suggests that the sender
OF mail write the name and address in
the upper left hand corner placing the
postage stamps in the upper right hand
corner. BY having the name OF the sender
on the mail matter the package win b,
returned in the event OF the addressee no

rnE pAsH TO THE POLE.

luE BAoh ~ INK rOLEs
Young man, you have read much
lately concerning "the dash to the
pole" or the dashes to the pole.
There are some lessons In those he
roic journeys.
The dashes for the pole we're not
made until everything was ready. And
preparation required a long look ahead.
The ships that took Peary and Cook
up into the arctic circle had TO be spe
cially built IN order to Withstand the
fee and to provide food and provisions
and apparatus. The clothing must be
the warmest. the food Of proper kind
and the instruments for observation
adapted 10 northern ATTITUDES. Moth
ing was left TO chance.
And when Il came TO the dash itself
the right sort Of sledges and dogs and
portable shelters Of silk must be pro-
vided
The explorers had TO photograph the
future. as II were. and provide for It.
And In the last stages OF the terrible
hike everything except the absolutely
necessary must be left behind. II re.
solved itself into a test for Sa sur
vival Of the fittest. both men aLd dogs
They stripped themselves as an ath.
lete strips himself for the nnal dash.
Well. every young man must End his
north pole!
What mean is every young mar
has something IN view that be wants
as badly as Cook aud Peary wanted t.
find the pole.
And II he gets what he wants b
must so after it. and intelligently.
Like Cook and Peary. II he is to sue
coed he must prepare a long wa.
ahead. else when It comes to the dasl
he viii have 20 turn back before h
gets to the nlnetieth degree.
Health Is the very FIRST considera
ton. Other things being equal. th
man with the best physique viii VIII
out. And a good physique is not bull
up by late hours and dissipation.
And the next important preparation
is education OF head and hand an,
heart. A sharpened brain. def han'
and good morals are all needed Il
your search for the pole.
And there are others trying to IN,
your pole--hosts Of them.
Prepare yourself Thoroughly. TAX
q plenty OF time. Time lost IN prepare
ton is gained In the outcome. Ant
when 1t comes to the dash strip your
self OF all impediments and
Get there first.
If you are properly equipped {
'go to it"-why. one by one the othe
3 fellows will drop back before the
e reach the eighty-seventh degree mort
n latitude. and

Big Colleges Apparently Have
no Idea Of Putting Ban

Despite the great alarm mostly
among people who know nothing OF the
fine points OF the game--and the de-
mand for revision Of the football
rules. II looks a great deal like we
win have the popular sport with us
again next season. At some few
schools the ban has been placed on
the sport. but not one Of the big coll
leges apparently has the slightest idea
of giving up the game.
Practically every big college in the
East, and many OF those in the West,
have already made football contracts
and there are no provisions In them
either, Coaches have been engaged,
a few games have been arranged, sucn
as Penn and Michigan, which agree
ment holds good for two years, much

People who really like football and
understand Il thoroughly can see the
good points OF the game. They realize
that II teaches a man to take care OF
himself at all times and In all emer-
genoies. That. alone, is a great thing.
But all athletes expect accidents, vet

thinks about when he goes into a game
