Theatrical Folk
In London Mourn
The Death Of Tree
Actor Was Planning Future
Activities Just Before He
Died in Hospital

London. July 3.-The death Of Sir
Herbert Beerbohm Tree has cast gloom
over the theatrical profession, where
il was received with general regret.
His end, like that of his famous prede-
cessor, Sir Henry Irving, came. with
the utmost suddenness.
In letter which Sir Herbert wrote
last week, when the doctors decided it
would be necessary for him TO enter
nursing home for a rest after the oper-
alton due TO an accident to his knee, he
said:
"All is going finely with me, and ]
hope TO be out soon, though | shall
have to be inactive physically for some
time"
Lady Tree visited him yesterday af,
ternoon and found him cheerful and
full of ideas for future activity. A rev
hours later he was seized with the
heart attack from which he died.
While his professional career nat
urallv receives most attention from the
nress. many papers recall the success
with which he pleaded the cause OF the
Allies in America, and the reception ne
received from the American colony IN
London on his return from the united
States. He was twice the guest OF the
American Luncheon Club-once before
America made its declaration OF. war
and again after the entry OF the United
States. a.,
Oscar Asche. who occupied His Maj
estv's Theatre during Sir Herbert's alb
senee. to-day cancelled all perform
ances there.

Cow to Help Hoover
Keep Death Rate Low
Conservation of Milk for Chill
dren Emphasized as War
Necessity
From tn. TRIBUNE Bureau. ]

Washington, July 3.-The importance
Of conserving the dairy COW has been
the subject of representations 20 the
Food Administration by a committee
of seven appointed by the dairy in
terests to cooperate with the Hoover
organization.
The high infant mortality among the
European belligerentS, due IN the main
to milk famine, emphasizes the I'M
portance of this phase OF food conser-
walton. Reports from the Red Cross
Society show that the death rate OF
children under two years IN these coun-
tries ranges from SO TO SO per cent.
Reports are current that farmers,
prompted by high prices, are selling
their young dairy stock, and IN some
cases even their mature cows, at a
rate that will deplete the milk supply
of the country. With view TO keep
ing milk from being luxury, the dairy
industry urges passage OF law per-
hitting the conservation Of butter fat
by standardization Of fluid milk 10 the
limit of existing legal standards.
Through an investigation conducted
by the National Dairy Council. the
grave situation regarding the dairy COW
has been confirmed. During the last
twelve months dairy cows have de-
creased through slaughter in Ohio 10
per cent, in Minnesota 20 per cent, and
q survey in the State of New York for
the area supplying milk to New York
City and other large cities shows a de-
crease of "a per cent.
The international Milk Dealers AS
sociation,( together with the New York
State Milk Dealers Conference Board,
have offered the services Of their or
CARNATIONS to promote any plans the
Food Administration may devise for
the conservation of dairy products in
the home

Khaki Clad Girl
Radio Operators
Greet Marconi
Senator Fears Times Are Toe
Unsettled" TOR Women, but
They Have Jobs Anyway

The feminist movement at the Ritz
Carlton yesterday afternoon engulfed
in waves Of khaki the slender white
figure of Guglelmo Marconi. The
khaki clad ones were members of the
first corps of women wireless oper-
ators from the class at Hunter College
and the Msrconi School, who came to
meet the founder of their profession.
Senator Marconi at first was not
deeply interested at the prospect OF
women wireless operators engaging IN
war service. -,
"Do you approve Of our ambitionsP
the girls asked.
"Oh. yes" he said hastily.
"Will you encourage us?'
Certainly. only-you know times are
a bit unsettled
Miss Fanny Tickle murmured into
the ear of her next neighbor:
That's just why we thought our
country would need u.s. But, of
course, she was too polite to say II out
loud
When he recovered his breath, and
the fifty khaki clad operators and six
teen reporters and seven photographer
had adjusted themselves in a circle
about him, Senator Marconi thought
better of the movement.
IL don't see any reason why women
should not do good work in wireless
operating" he said. Their hearing
is better and they are just as conscien-
tious AS men. The only thing is that
they are more excitsble and don't stick
TO things quite so we'll. Girl telephone
operators are better than men, how
ever. There is nothing difficult about
wireless once a student has mastered
the theory"
Miss Helen Campbell and Miss Elsie
Merz have already taken the United
States government examinations and
received licenses as emergency wire
less oprators. The others Of the class
have been working for two months at
Hunter College and expect 10 take
their examinations soon. Asked II they
wanted Senator Marconi TO recommend
them for jobs, they said hsughtily:
mo. One hundred and thirty jobs have
been offered TO US already
The girls helmets were adorned with
tiny bronze wings as the symbol Of
then profession.

has been postponed until tomorrow at
noon in the Mayors Office at the City
Hall.

Good news for the kiddies,

Good news for the kiddles'
The country is beginning to take
hold. The villages and towns are be-
ginning TO invite their Fresh Air par
ties.
For a while the people OF the coun-
try held back. They are usually most
hospitable to the Tribune Funds pro-
teges, but this year they were afraid
of infantie paralysis. They feared
recurrence of last summers epidemic.
Now, however, this fear is beginning
TO wane; the belief is gaining ground
that there will be no repetition of last
years epidenAc. There are no signs
of another outbreak.
Country Offers Hospitality
Country MONIES are, therefore, throw
ing open their doors. Hospitality is
being offered In a few days boys and
girls will be trooping out of tenement
streets and through the open doors TO
turn this hospitality into flesh and
blood and fun for their impoverished
little bodies.
The first place to say definitely that
il would take party of children from
the Tribune Fund this year was Bing-
hamton, y. Y. IL has not yet settled
on a date, but it will do so soon. The
next place was Hyde Park, y. Y. which
will receive a party of girls on July g..
Then came invitations from three
Pennsylvania towns, Pen Argyll, Wind
gap and Plainfeld, which have asked
for children on July II. Three days
after the children go out to these
places Geneseo, y. Y, will get a crowd
of youngsters, on July II. And on July
81 Easton, Penn, will welcome its an
nual group.
These are the definite beginnings of
this side of the funds vacation cam
psign. In addition. more than fifty
other places have made inquiries which
indicate that they are at work and in
tend to be Fresh Air entertainers be-
fore the summer is over.
LOO Sent to the Country
While the committees in the towns
and villages have been somewhat slower
than usual in getting to work, the fund
has not been behindhand in filling up
its vacation camps. The last Of them
received its final quota yesterday. when
200 bows romped away TO Ashford Hill,
the funds home at Ardsley, n. Y This
made 335 children sent 70 this home in
two days. and brings the total number
of youngsters now in the country up to
LOO.
The friends of the work in the city
are coming generously to its support,
as the total of contributions given be-
low proves. Nevertheless, only be-
ginning has been made in this direc-
tion. II the funds campaign is TO ac-
complsh what has been planned and
what is needed, $4,000 must be given
before the summer is over.
Will you help n child TO a vacation /?

Prison Inmates Offer

Convicts and Institutional
Farms To Be Placed at Gov
ernments Disposal

Washington. July 3.-Inmates Of the
prisons and reformatories Of the coun-
try want to do their bit for the country
during the war. Representatives oil

the unusual industrial activity in the
United States is shown in the coinage
report of the Director of the Mint for

500. 1872 in 1917. In 1915 the production
was III ,s04,29s.

been doing capacity business to satisfy
the heavy demand for small coins. The
total mintsge for the year was S25,-

Plan to Discontinue
Three Stations Near
Rockefeller Estate
Tarrytown Heights, Tower Hill,
and Pocantico Hills Will
Be Dropped
iBy Telegraph IN The rrbunel

Tarrytown, n. Y, July 3.-The New
York Central Railroad has served no
tice on the board of trustees OF larry
town and North Tarrytown that il in
tends TO discontinue its stations on
the Putnam road at Tsrrytown Heights,
Tower Hill and Pocantico Hills. A
hearing is 10 be held on July Is.
The move no doubt has the backing
Of John D. Rockefeller. who for years
has been trying TO have the railroad
tracks which run through his property
removed. The Putnam road practically
cuts his estate in two. II is the plan
of the Central 10 run direct from
Eastview to Briarcliffe Manor along
the foot of Buttermilk Hill on prop
erty which is owned by Mr.. Rookie
Teller.
II the railroad carries out its plans
it will practically wipe out Pocantico
Hills, and Mr.. Rockefeller will absorb
il.
Such a plan was urged more than a
year ago, and at that time 1T was
stated that bus line service would be
furnished TO Eastview for Pocantico
Hills residents. The project was
strongly opposed by the people, who
saw in it the beginning of the end OF
their village.
Wealthy residents OF Wilson Park
favor the change, for it will remove
smoke nuisance. II the tracks are re-
moved it will also permit 1arrytown
TO raise its watershed.
There is some talk that the Putnam
intends to electrify its road to Elks-
ford. II is also building a big terml-
nal station at 163d Street. Nothing
is known here of its plans further
than that the petition has been served
on the boards. IL is certain that resi-
dents of Pocantico Hills will oppose
Mr.. Rockefeller in any plan that would
remove the railroad from the village,
and a warm fight is expected.
