RED Light Plan
CHECKED again
Commissioners Fail to Name
Chairman for Central
Committee.
BILL SIGNED TOMORROW
Unless Warning Factions Of Social
Workers Agree. Plan to Save
Women Is Lost.

with but one day more before Presi-
dent Wilson signs the Kenyon ''red-light"
bill. which will drive into the streets the
women Of washington's underworld. little
has been accomplished by the social
workers interested in the welfare Of the
unfortunates.
Another delay in the organization of
the faction, fighting for the privilege Of
doing this work came yesterday. when
the District Commissioners failed to
name a president for the central commit
tee to succeed Larz Anderson. who re-
fused to serve in that capacity. No rea-
son was assigned by the Commissioners
for not naming this man. but II 10 be-
lieved they did this because 1t was
thought best to let the committee choose
Its own president A meeting of the com
mittee viii be held in the boardroom of
the Offices of the District Commissioners
this morning at II O'Clock. The commit
tee at this meeting will elect a chairman
or president.
An interesting angle to the fractional
fight as to who should look after the in
terests OF the women comes with the
reiuctancy Of Stanley w. Finch. head
of the National Social Welfare League. to
turn over to the central committee the
funds contributed to his organization to
provide homes and employment for the
fallen women.

Colors of Music.

There has just been installed at
Queens hall in London a color organ
for representing musical effects in
terms of colored lights thrown upon
a screen. which has been designed ex-
pressly for the deaf. Each note played
produces a corresponding color, and
the color combinations are said to
cause the same delight to the deaf
ear as the harmonious sounds of a
composition do to the normal ear. The
organ was devised by Prof. Wallace
Rimington, and among those who have
become very much interested in the
project is M. Alexander Sciabin, Rus
sian composer, who has achieved a
foremost position In European musical
circles.
