Caruso sings in "L'Eiisir": he does not

- The chief speaker yesterday at the

Federal Employment Bureau Miss
Scott declared that there is an urgent
need for shorter hours for women
workers in New Jersey and that a law
should be enacted prohibiting the re-

factories.
The military war is over. but the
industrial war is going on" Miss Scott
said. Women are responsible now as
never before.
"Tbe women of New Jersey are going
to see to it that the state does better
in the future. The women are going
to make the men see that they are
worthy to stand side by side with their
men in peace, as they have in war.
The woman worker is going to be
placed in d position to better her con-
ditions. She cannot do it as an in
dividual, but she can do it collectively.

u,s Margaretta Neale, chief of the
Woman's Division OF the United States
Employment Serevice.

4 is rather a readiustment. We were
,,. beginning to bring women into
Industry in large numbers, just making
,all to take women out of less es-
..ntsls. when the armistice was de-
lsred.
It is generally believed in Washing
an the plan for calling women into
rdustrial service was the much talked
,bOut idea Of drafting" women.
Now the problem regarding women
sorkers is that of shifting them back
non-essential industries.
From the gas mask factory in Long
.and City hundreds have been let
~ said Mrs. Neale, "and positions
ave been found for each one. They
,sve been sent into the so-called less
.ssentials.
The readjustment will simply mean
hat more civilian clothing will be
made and more of every kind of equip
nent, even extending to luxuries. The
,auntry is going out of mourning.

Our plan is to have the various in
dastries notify US Immediately before

Formerly we were hunting the job

There were 5000 openings for wo-

Serge Prokohef Makes
Deep Impression at His
First Recital
By Grenville Vernon

The land of the Muscovite is the land
Of perpetual astonishment. With vodka,
Trotzky and the Bolsheviki, it has pro-
duced Tolstoy, Moussorgsky and the
violin children of Leopold Auer. From
Russia we receive a jolt one minute
and thrill the next, and sometimes
we don't know which of the two it is.
In Russia things don't happen; they
erupt. Staccato, not legato, is the
Muscovite delight. Russian genius
rides with the smoothnoss Of Ford
over Rocky Mountain trail, but
genius there is, and an abundance, even
if many of us make a face when we
recognize it.
Whether Serge Prokohetf, the young
Russian composer pianist who made his
debut in a recital yesterday afternoon
at Aeoian Hall, is genius will be
finally determined when most of us
who heard him are dead-prob bably
when he himself is dead. AS he is at
present only twenty-s,ven, that will
fortunately, in all probability, be a
long way off. But whether he is u
genius or not, he is one of the most
extraordinary pianists and one of the
most stimulating composers that the
Land of Unlimited Trouble has sent Us
in many moons.
MIR. Prokoficff chose for his debut
an aN-Russian programme, and most
of the things he played were his own.
He opened with four etudes, and he
threw us at once into a tumult of mixed
emotions. The etudes were of stupen-
dous technical difficulty, but he tossed
them off as if they were veritably
nothing He followed these with his
Second Sonata, of which the first move
ment seemed commonplace, but the fol-
lowing scherZo was Il riot of rhythmic
force and humor. In the third move
ment there was again a sagging of in
tercst, bu. the finale in its rhythmic
combinations and variations took the
audience quite off their seats. Then to
show that he could play the music of
others he gave, and gave very beauti-
fully, with equal delicacy and power,
three preludes of Rachmaninoff and
Scriabine's "Feuillet d'Album" and two
1tudes. The last group consisted of a
prelude, scher2o, gavotte and
''Sugeestion Dabolique" all his own,
followed by number Of cncores also
his own. OF these the scherzo and

Briton's Throat Is Cut
Public Asked to Aid in Pun

Germany has been whipped, but the
crimes is still to come, Advertising
Club members were told yesterday by
Roy T. Soule, editor of Hardware
Age" He said it is up to the Ameri-
can buyers to help administer the pun
ishment by refusing to purchase goods
made in Germany.
Zone night not so long ago one of
Pershing's boys went out into No
Mans Land" said Mr.. Soulc. Three
hours later he was found. his nody
hacked to bits with knives. In Amer

cries.
"a captured British officer was re-
Gently found with his throat cut from
ear to ear. The job looked like it had
been done with a razor. Before the
war America bought S50O,000 worth of
German razors annually. How about
after the war, Mr.. Buyer?'
Mr.. Soule declared that fuller pub
licity should be given German atrocl-
ties, so that Americans could become
better acquainted with the people "for
whom after thc-war sentimentalsts are
already pleading" He said there arc
more than plenty Of verified outrages
to publish without using any not ofJ-
cially reported.
German airmon dropped toys as
we'll as bombs upon defenceless French
towns" said Mr. Soult "When little
French kiddes picked up these toys
their hands were blown off In the
future are you buyers going to pur-
chase German made toys for American
children TO play with? God forbid!
"How would American men like to
have had their wives in the town OF
Gembloux when the Germans marched
in to spread their kultur? Scores OF
innocent persons were butchered. One
Young woman was crucitied to the front
door by cutlass driven through her
breast. Before the war women of that
town used to buy Germanm made kitchen
utensils and enamelled ware. They
never will again. 1t would seem that
Americans should rather starve than
foul their lips by food prepared III
German made kitchcnware.

verltable excursion upon the Brocken.
Throughout his compositions, de
spite their reYelling in discords, there
was fine sense of form, and there
was never the impression that he was
shocking merely for the sake of the
shock. When he attempted melody in
the old sense of the word his invention
was commonplace, but whenever he
turned to rhythm his talent was ex-
traordlnary. It is in terms of rhythm
rather than melody that the modern
spirit finds its true musical expres-
sion. and in his feeling for this Mr..
Prokoiief was at once simple and sim
cere. In his rhythmic invention there
was indeed something primitive. some
thing whicn seemed to spring spon-
taneously from the Russian soil Per-

1t began-w'th rhythm. Perhaps there

ody to sing music to its eternal sleep.
