New System Saves Shippers.

Under the postage rates previously in
force. 1 cent per ounce, the postage
would have been an average of 1872 cents
per parcel or total of $942, :i94. 80,
thus showing a saving to shippers of
So47 JOSIE or twelve days business. 1t
should also be remembered that the usual
minimum charge of express companies is
% cents per parcel, whereas the average
charge on the parcel post packages was
only ~ cents.
lit is also worthy of note that al
though the business was large 1t was
distributed through a large postal Or
ganization. SO that no congestion has re-
suited. The post once clerks in these
fOrty-five cities have handled an average
of only twenty-eight parcels each per
day, this including both incoming and
outgoing parcels. The total number OF
parcels delivered i'm these cities makes an
average of only nine and one-third par
GELS per carrier per day.

DIR. Joseph A. Holmes. director of the
United States bureau of mines has ex-
pressed the fear that the warnings them
selves may add to the risks and dangers
in mines where gases occur in danger
Gus quantities if they should serve to
make miners and operators less careful
during the extended intervals between
the receipt of such warnings. He adds
that a large number of the mine eXplo-
sions in the bituminous coal fields are
dust explosions. and would hardly be in
fiuenced by atmospheric pressure.
Prof. Edward III. Bowie of the weather
bureau, who has studied the question.
said there was no doubt that atmospheric

STUDY Of SOCIAL EVIL
BY NEW YORK BUREAU
Statement Outlining Scope of
Observations Issued by
John D. Rockefeller, Jr.

NEW YORK, January IA statement
is given out for publication by John D.
Rockefeller, jr., which is in part as fol-
lows:
The bureau Of social hygiene came into
existence about two years ago. as re-
suit of the work of the special grand
jury appointed to investigate the white
slave traffic in New York city. which
served during the first half OF the year
1910. One of the recommendations made
by it in the presentment handed up at
the termination of its labors was that
public commission be appointed to study
the social evil The foreman Of that body
subsequently gave careful consideration
to the character of the work which might
properly be done by such a commission
and the limitations under which it would
operate. In this connection, separate. per-
sonal conferences were held with over a
hundred leading men and women in the
city among whom were lawyers. ply
sicians, business men, bank presidents.
presidents of commercial organizations,
clergymen, settlement workers, social
workers, labor leaders and reformers.
These conferences developed the feeling
that a public commission would labor
under a number of disadvantages, such
as the fact that it would be short
lived: that it's work would be done pub
licly: that at best it could hardly do more
than present recommendations. The con-
viction also grew that the main reason
why more permanent results had not
been obtained by the various Organiza
tons which had dealt with the subject OF
the social evil during the past ten or
fifteen years was that most of them
were temporary. While active they ma
terially improved the situation. but as
their efforts were relaxed there came
the inevitable return to much the same
conditions as. before.

Wife Deserter Jailed.

Thirty days in Jail was the sentence
imposed in the police court today in the
case of John Arnold, charged with the
non-support CT his wife and child. Ac-
cording to his wife he has not regularly
contributed to her support for the past
ten months, only at times giving her
trifling amounts and living on the bounty
of his father-in-law, although he had
steady employment.
a fine of 81 was imposed on Jake
Shapiro on charge Of selling groceries
on Sunday.
Plans for the formal opening of the
Westminster building Of the Second
Presbyterian Church, located at the
northeast corner Of Prince and st.
Asaph streets, were discussed yester-
day by the elders and deacons Of the
church, and a committee was appointed
to complete the program of exercises,
with Rev. DIR. John Lee Allison, pastor
Of the church. as a member.
While no definite date was decided
upon. it is hoped to have the opening
about the middle Of March.

Permanent Organization Formed.

= IA AAAAOAt Va 6d4A6dtAOA = VI AC0s
$50 the conviction grew that in order
to make real and lasting improvement
in conditions permanent organization
should be created, the continuation of
which would not be dependent upon a
temporary wave Of reform, nor upon the
life of any man or group of men, but
which would go on. generation after gen.
Grafton. continuously making warfare
against the forces Of evil. 1t also APP
peared that a private organization would
have, among other advantages, a certain
freedom from publicity and from political
bias which a publicly appointed commits
sion could not so easily avoid.
therefore, as the initial step, in the
winter of 1911 the bureau of social hy-
giene was formed. It's present members
are Miss Katharine Bement Davis, su-
perintendent Of the New York state re-
formatOry for women, at Bedford Hills,
n. Y; Paul NJ. Warburg. of the firm of
Kuhn, Loeb & Co., Starr J. Murphy of
the New York bar and John d. Rookie
Teller. jr. AS the work develops new
members may be added.
"One of the first things undertaken by
the bureau was the establishment at Bed
ford Hills, adjacent to the reformatOry,
OF laboratory or social hygiene, under
Miss Davis direction. In this laboratory
1t is proposed to study from the physical,
mental. social and moral side each per-
son committed to the refOrmatOry. This
study will be carried on by experts, and
each case will be kept under observation
for from three weeks to three months, as
may be required. When the diagnosis
is completed, it is hoped that the labora-
tory VIII be in position to recommend
the treatment most likely to reform the
individual. or, If reformation is impossi-
bic. to recommend permanent custodial
care.
I'm entering upon it's labors the bureau
regarded 1t of fundamental Importance to
make a careful study of the social evil
In this country and in Europe. feeling
that this problem. like any other great
and difficult one. can be inteliigently ap-
proached only by means of a thorough
and complete knowledge of all the factors
involved. as well as all the methods and
experiences of other cities and countries
In dealing with it. Arrangements We're
made. therefore, in the early part Of last
winter to secure the services of George
]. kneeland, who had directed the Chi
cago vice commission investigation. Since
that time Mr.. Kneeland. with a corps Of
assistants, has been making a thorough
and comprehensive survey Of the condi-
lions Of vice N Now oft
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1913-01-27
Abraham Flexner Assisting,

cat the same time the bureau was
fortunate in securing the services of
Abraham Flexner. whose reports on the
medical schools in this country and in
Europe are so we'll known. to study the
social evil and the various methods of
dealing with it in the leading cities of
Europe. Mr.. FleXner spent the greater
part of a year abroad. making a search
ing and exhaustive inquiry into the SUBJ
ject and is now working on his report
which will be ready for publication this
winter
These studies are to be followed by
others. in those cities in the United States
where different conditions exist or where
special methods of dealing with the social
evil have been introduced. the object be-
ing to become familiar with all phases of
the subject and all methods of handling
1t which have been tried in this country
and in Europe.
BASED upon all of these studies, which
will probably be published by December
of this year, it is the hope of the bureau
that there may be devised a practical
plan for dealing with the social evil in
New York city-a plan which public opin-
ion can be brought TO support
In conclusion it cannot be too strongly
emphasized that the spirit which domi-
mates the work of the bureau is not SEN
satiOnal or sentimental or hysterical: that
it is not a spirit of criticism of public
officials: but that it is essentially a spirit
of constructive suggestion and of deep
scientific as we'll as humane interest in a
great world problem

MUNICIPAL STOCK
PAYS DIVIDENDS

While San Francisco was voting in
favor of municipal ownership of street
railroads. the little town Of North
Hampden. Mass, was counting up the
profits yielded by a season of munich
pal ownership Of a theatrical stock
company.
For long time North Hampden had
been accounted a sort of a tank
town by the theatrical powers. Only
the most insignificant productions
visited it's quietude; the good went by
on the train. One of the lodges built
hall and installed therein a theater.
The question then arose, What shall
we put in it?' The citizens knew
Uncle Toms Cabin by heart and
were perfectly familiar with all of
the doleful melodramas of the decade,
and decided that no such things should
desecrate the new theater.
So they organized municipality. hired
a stock company, secured rights to
plays as they were released for
stock" and sold tickets at popular
prices. Moreover they went to see
their own shows, and the scheme fat
tened the municipal purse. Gaining
courage, they went out after the big
attractions and. by Offering a guar
antee to the bright stars of the stage.
were able to secure them for per-
formance or two, and everybody made
a little money. On the occasion of the
last performance of the season the
crowd desiring to gain admission was
twice as great as the capacity of the
playhouse, and now the second sea-

|Opera Star Is Court Singer to Kaiser
Native Vocalist
Has Won Fame in
Europes 5 Capitals

OF the many American girls who
have tempted fate and won fame,
none has been more highly f1onored
abroad than Geraldine Farrar, who is
about to make flying visit to the
coast and who will be heard in sim
gle concert Sunday afternoon. Octo-
Der 3.
While in Germany she was given a
distinction unique among American
songsters when she was made court
singer to the German kaiser" and
elsewhere in Europe was decorated,
feted and applauded.
The only appearance of the season
that Geraldine Farrar will make in
october IS, at the Cort theater. when
she will have the assistance of the
distinguished cellist, Alvin Schroeder.
formerly of the Boston symphony or
chestra. and of the Kneisel quartet
Directly after this short concert
tour, which she is making under the
direction of C. A. Ellis of Boston. she
must return to New York to resume
her work at the Metropolitan opera
house.
The forthcoming Metropolitan sea-
son will be most important to her, for
she will make her first appearances in
two roles, one of which is that of
Carmen and the other will be the title
part in Giordano's new music drama,
Madame Sans Gene" AS to her per-
formance of the role of Carmen much
interest is being taken. not only In
New York, but everywhere that grand
opera is known. for it is promised that
she will create an impression as the
Bizet heroine not equaled since Calve
flashed her cigarette girl before the
music public.
Her program will not be the regu-
lation schedule of offerings common at
the concerts of operatic vocalists, for
Farrar is familiar with the works of
the 1ieder writers and art songs as
she is with operate compositions, and
the song scores of Gluck, Beethoven.
Mozart, Handel, Schubert, Franz.
Loewe, Slnding, Strauss. Wolf. Grieg
and MacDoweii will be as conspicuous
on her list as those of Puccini and
other opera writer's.
