Defence Council
Converting Plants
To War Production
Question of Non-Essential
Industries Being Solved
Without Trouble

WASHINGTON, Jan. 19.-Conversion
of industrial plants to war production
is proceeding steadily through the eff
forts Of the Council of National De-
fence. directed by George N. Peek, in
dustrial representative.
Utilization Of the facilities Of many
woodworking plants on government
contracts became known to-day. Fac
tories making furniture sashes and
doors have taken over the work of sup
plying spare parts for army vehicles,
relieving the overburdened wagon
building plants. This will enable the
latter to devote great portion of their
production to farm wagons, shortage
Of which was threatened because of
army demands.
Additional gun carriage capacity has
been developed in the diversion Of
labor and machinery from peacetime
pursuits to the making Of artillery &C.
ccssories.
Field kitchens for the army are being
equipped with steel wheels, depart
ure, in an effort to relieve the shortage
of seasoned wood.
10 speed up the supply of spruce
frames for airplanes the government is
building factory at Vancouver Bar
racks, which will be equipped for the
peculiar saving of spruce logs neces-
sary to obtain the grained wood essen
tial in airplane manufacture
The council considers that the diver
sion of industrial machinery from pri-
vate to government contracts not only
saves time in the production Of war
material, but also solves the question
Of so-called essential and non-essential
industries without any economic dis
turbance.

Music
jacques Thibaud, French
Violinist, Gives Another
Recital

In the flood of violinists which has
swept upon us this season, jacques
Ihlbaud has been far from forgotten,
ana his various appearances nave been
all we'll attended and appreciated. His
recital yesterday afternoon at Aeolian
Hall was no exception to this rule, and
the large audience was given the
French yioiinist's art at its best. De-
spite few lapses in information, his
playing OF the Saint-SaGns concerto in
Is minor was especially fine, polished in
style, clear in outline and informed
with unusual rhythmic vigor.
Mr.. Thibaud is never sensational
list, but he possesses the best of his
Gallo artistic inheritance, taste, sure
Judgment, balance and feeling under
intellectual control. Other numbers
on yesterdays programme were Dcs-
blanche s-Nachez's "lntrada," Mclodie
of Guiraud and Albert Spadings Prel-
ude from his suite for violin and
piano. Nicolai Schnecr furnished SYM
pathetic accomplishments.
The Philharmonic Society gave a spe-
cial matinee performance yesterday at
Carnegie Hall, presenting Wagner
Tschaikowsky programme. with the
PathetiQue Symphony as Mr.. Stransky s
piece de resistance. The Wagner mum
bers were the Faust" overture, the
"Meistersinger" prelude, the Christian"
introduction and "Lovc Death" and
the "Tannhauser overture. Needless
to say, the audience was large-the war
horse of all symphonies added to Wag
ner is still potent in its appeal.

victory in November, are going to get

feating woman politicians, and elect
ing "men Of virility," as we'll as for

homes and hearts" of voters as did that
organization.
1--WE will relieve those men of some
OF their paternal and maternal activi-
tlcs,' she said, "and, will reach right
INTO the homes of all the mothers of
the city. After all, democracy has it's
seat in the home, and those mothers
now are voters"
Although the programme of the
women's organization is an uplift pro-
gramme, it likewise is a partisan pro-
gramme-a Democratic programme.
The intention of it's members is to see
TO 1t that the Democratic party is also
democratic party, but thew likewise
intend to see to it that women voters
are organized behind the Democratic
ticket.
To Supervise Women's Efforts
Incidental to the partisan purposes
OF the Women's Regular Democratic
Organization are aims which embrace
improvement of Industrial conditions
Tor women and a general supervision
Oh women's civic activities to prevent
waste effort.
Just now there are many women's
organizations with similar aims" saws
Mrs. Sanders, "but they are working
IN circle. Our endeavor will be to
c:ooralnate and organize all such activ-
tues. We do not wish or intend to
antagonize any of these organizations
ana expect to accomplish our purpose
wltnout doing so. We shall be able
70 90 this because we have wonderful
women in our organization. Hiphlv
cultared and trained minds will guide
every one of our committees"
r. The Womens Regular Democratic
organization will carry out it's pro-
gramme of political organization and
clvlc and industrial reform by means
OF pubic meetings, lectures and pam
phiets, but especially, as Mrs. Sanders
s l", by reaching the homes and
hearts or women-by reaching the
mother in the home" It intends 't to
work for municipal and governmental
operation of public utilities whenever
such operation is deemed essential to
public interest.
