BOSTON SYMPHONY
SADLY DISAPPOINTS
0rchestra's Reconstruction In.
to Loyal Band Shows Eff
feet i'm Concert.

The first concert OF the Boston Sym
pNony orchestfa'e season in this city
given last evening in Carnegie Han,
might easily have aroused misgivings
in the minds of the faithful subscribers.
History does not demand detailed reps
ttion here. but ii is we'll to call to
mind the stormy period OF last spring,
when dissolution threatened the famous
organization because OF the peculiar ac-
tons of n Teutonic conductor tnow re-

tional anthem.
Major Hlgginson's abandonment OF

not fatal and public spirited Bostonianc

he had lad down They scanned thu

Henry Wood, Arturo Toscanini and

kin. supplanted Anton Wick, and
altogether there was much to raise ques-

v!ded an uncertain answer.
The programme comprised Cesar
Franck's symphony, Schumann's MAN

that one Teutonic romanticist was rep

all English poet.

the gentlemen from Boston will hope
that they will not contract a habit OF

POTTERY OUTPUT IN
1917 BREAKS RECORD
Value of Product in I. s. for
Year $56,162,522, or 16
Per Cent. Increase.
SUPPLY Is INSUFFICIENT
Added Value Is Due to High
Prices Of Labor and Raw
Materials.

The makers of pottery in the United
States reported another record breaking
year in 1917 In value of output, which
was s56.l62,522. an increase Of s7s45,-
$50, or more than 16 per cent, over 1915,
according to figures compiled under the
direction Of jefferson Middleton OF the
United States Geological Survey, De-
partment OF the Interior.
The, imports of pottery during the
year were necessarily small and the
demand was fully equal to the largest
domestic supply that would have been
produced under normal conditions. but
the American potters found it impossi-
BILE to supply the demand. Though the
value of the output was the largest yet
recorded. the volume was probably not
so large as It had been in other years.
Few plants, II any. ran to capacity,
and many OF them did not market more
than three fourths Of their normal out
put The increased cost Of labor and
raw materials made 1t necessary to nix
higher prices than have prevailed In
the last few years The imports showed
an increase over those Of 1915 but were
much below normal This increase was
due chiefly to greater imports from
Japan.
Another milestone in the industry was
the establishment In 1917 at East Liv-
erpool. Ohio, by Ernst ReinhRrdt OF the
Bisc Novelty Company's pottery for

me- terials. but It remained for Mr.. Rein

Industry In Germany. TO produce blslue
doll heads on a commercial scale In the
United, States
In 1917 the value OF the output OF
every variety OF pottery except red
ea thenwarc was greater than In 1915.
White ware showed the largest increase.
50 729,0I9, or Is per cent. Porcelain
electrical supplies also showed a large
increase, 81 4l7,166, or 81 per cent
China. the highest grade OF pot; cry. has
been a minor product in value. yet its

The value OF white ware. including
