that ever happened for this country.
He said that one thing which the people
Of the United States never had learned
was to save. The war savings stamps
provide just the incentive needed to
form that habit.
"The best way the people in America
can get the message across tc the boys
in the trenches that they are squarely
behind them" said Mr.. Root, "is by
saving and buying, buying war savings
stamps and certificates and subscribing
to Liberty loans"
MIR. Root told tho ministers that he
wanted them to dwell on the advan-
tages of the war savings stamps from
tkei- pulpits and to assist personally in
organizing war savings societies IN
their naregations.
The plea Of Mr.. Root was ably sec
onded by Bishop Wilson, of the Meth
odist Episcopal Church, who recently
returned to the United States after
prolonged visit to the various fighting
fronts. Bishop Wilson told his hear
ers that the best way the ministers Of
the country could "go over the top"
was by getting behind the War Savings
Committee with their full strength.

Root Says Stamps Pro

War savings societies are to be
formed in every church, Sunday school
and other organizations connected
with the church. The ministers them
selves are to be organized into one
vast war savings society, and they in
turn are to organize the smaller So
cietics in their parishes.
Plans for these societies were made
at mass meeting in Aeolian Hall yes
terday afternoon under the auspices of
the War Savings Committee and at
tended by nearly 1000 clergymen Of
all denominations. 1t is expected that
the result of the one meeting will be
to insure the sale of several million

Music

Aeolian Hall housed two unusually
pleasing song recitals yesterday, both
fresh in their subject matter and vivid
in their Interpretation. Among num-
Der of songs of marked beauty there
were to be found four which still exist
IN manuscript, a good days record.
Dora de Philippe. who sang in the
afternoon, is quicksilvery, exotic per
son to look at, and stimulating to hear.
Her lively artistic sense is shown in
her selection of songs no less than in
her characterizing power over them.
The gypsy songs of Dvorak were good
TO hear again, and NE Ultima Rosa"
by Zandonai, and three admirable an,
highly dissimilar songs by Alexandra
Georges proved unusually charming
Yet # Miss de phillippe's voice fowel
more easily and purely from her throAt
her keen interpretive instinct would
nave freer play.
Adelaide Fischer, the singer of the
evening, had programme with num-
bers grouped according to nationality
or period, such as one hears all too
rarely. OF Russian, modern French, or
old French and Italian songs, she was
able to select pieces of marked and
varied character. AS varied were her
sharp characterizations, exceptionally
sympathetic to the mood. Her voice,
except in the upper register, which is
sometimes little forced, is firm, color
ful and agile, and is always the SER
want OF clear and discreet purpose.
Of the manuscript songs, the lyric
from "The Shropshire Lad" by Mabel
Wood Hill, proved really distinguished
IN ITS quiet, elegiac beauty. Emerson
"hithorne's "Chinesc Serenade" fails
TO maintain the intended mood, and
iFederlen's "Thc Letter" is too bonn
nastic. Alexander Rihm, in The Rose,"
mas written delicately and agreeably.
At each of the recitals delighted

and repetitions.

On the Screen

Vivian Martin and Thee lore Roberts
are at the Rivoli this week in a nice
honey picture called "a Petticoat
Pilot" Mr.. Roberts gives one of those
wonderful character portrayals for
which he is famous, and this time it
is an old sailor who elects to become
the pilot of the particular petticoat
worn by Vivian Martin.
There is nothing new in the story
nor in its presentation. but it reaches
the heart, and what more is needed?
Miss Martin is so pretty and dainty
and we like her so much better as
child than we do in Paris frocks doing
grown up and sophisticated ingenues.

her father, an old sea captain. Only
May makes the mistake Of taking David,

who owns the cat that he decides to
adopt both her and the cat. That is

The scenes are laid in Boston and on
the Maine coast, in little fishing viii
lage.
James Nell, as Zoeth Hamilton. and
Harrison Ford, as Crawford Smith, give
excellent support to the stars. The
story was written by Joseph C. Lincoln
and the picture was directed by Roland
Sturgeon.
Gladys Rice sang the ever popular
"My Hero" from "The Chocolate Sol
der" only it was brought up to date
by the introduction Of chorus in
rocking chairs doing their knitting for
their heroes.
Joseph Martel sang the "Stein Song"
by Frederic Field Bullard. The over
ture is al Guarany," with Emo Rapee
conducting.
On the picture programme is "Hunt-
ing Big Game in the North" This is
the first of series which will be
shown in the next few weeks They are
truly remarkable.
The comedy is called "The Bright
Lights Dimmed." 1t is a Mr.. and Mrs.
Sidney Drew picture, and one of their
best.
A pretty dance called "The Wood
Nymph" is given by one of Helen Mol
ler's pupils. The child is only eight
years old, and hardly seems even SO
old as that, but she has perfect pose

The. university council consists of
thirty-seven voting members, of whom
twenty-five are elected by the faculty.
In pointing out the influence of the
council in educational matters, the
trustees said:
"No such action by the council has

and in but single instance, since 1882,
have the trustees declined to act IA
vorably upon recommendations of the

Paper Sale Biggest
Since Strike Started

While it was still difficult to get
newspapers at accustomed news-stands
or street corners, there were increas-
ing signs yesterday that if man can't
get his daily paper one way he will an
other. Greater sales were reported by
all newspapers yesterday than on any
day since the strike Of the newsdealcrs
began.
This increase was largely due to the
fact that the United News Delivery
Company. organized last week, opened
nine new stores at central locations
yesterday, and each store reported
sales mounting into the thousands.
The four stores opened in Manhattan
are located at Broadway and 1o9th
Street. Tenth Avenue and 2o7th Street
$50 West 1S1st Street and 362 Ninth
Avenue. Five other stores in Brook
lyn were opened. at 10071s Flatbpsh
Avenue. 341 Nostrand Avenue, zoos
Third Avenue, IL Belvidere Street and
Myrtle Avenue and Stevens Street.
Other stores will be opened as rapidly
as arrangements can be completed.

spite Of heatless Monday and three

better than she knits. Even Adele is
ready to admit this. The thing which
she is knitting is going TO be a sweater,
she says, and she is just going to let
the army and navy fight for it,
The programme says that Miss Row
land will appear with an entirely new
lot of songs, but none of the songs are
quite now, for Adele was doing them
the last time we saw her. However, she
needs no new ones; "Ann Who Became
Suzanne" and "Knocking at the Knit
ting Club" are good enough for some
time to come. Harry De Costa is at
the piano.
Lew Dockstader was there, too, in a
satirical characterization called "The
Political Boss or the Power Behind the
Throne" Lew does some things that
none of his imitators ever have been
able to do.
A sketch called "Two Sweethearts" is
presented by Lee Kohlmar and COM

and Clara Lippman and staged by Louis

Sleeve Style Is
Matter of Choice

New York.-The weather prophets
and the fashion prophets do not go
through life hand In hand. There Is
no cOrdiality between them, 1t would
seem, judging from the way In which
they oppose each other, observes a
leading fashion writer.
You may have noticed this situation
In some slight measure, as an observ-
er on the side lines. caring more about
the state of the weather than the state
Of fashions; but those who must deal
with the latter as daily issue, and
must try to conform the output of
fashions with the output of the sky,
deplore the separation.
The utter audacity that women have
shown since the beginning of time In
regard to the caprices of the weather
Is part of the history of the civili-
cation of man. To return to that fig
leaf: 1t was probably the only time In
history when the climate was met with
the right sort Of costume. Since then.
the world of women has gone on the
path that suggests obstinacy.
Take. as an example of the pervers-
,lty of the present moment, the incom-
Ing fashion Of 6-inch sleeves at time
when kid gloves are difficult to pay
for. The women of today, we are quite
sure, have no idea of attempting the
methods Of the directoire by going
about the streets with entirely bare
arms. Josephine. the empress of the
French, may have believed that the
short sleeve was correct for her time;
but this Is workday world, full Of the
rush and impetus of activity-and
open-air activity at that. We might
have chance Of looking like a group
let loose from boiler factory at mid
day In August. If we rushed about the
streets with our athletic and slightly
red arms protruding from 5-inch capes,
without sleeves.
Ideas In New Sleeves.
One feels, In running full tilt against
the tidal wave of new sleeves. the utter
futility of trying to describe even the
best of them. One would think that
the world had gone quite mad over
arm coverings. Possibly 1t Is true that
the French and American designers,
realizing that they could not introduce
especially brilliant or novel

lack Of materials, put their genius to

and stimulating minor details.
