CITES soLDIERS PATRIOTISM.
Nal. Gen. Getty Points to Boys Who
Subscribe for Liberty Bonds.

BY BRIG. GEN. ROBERT N. GETTY
(commandant at Camp Dodge, Iowa. ]
What does the real soldier of today
think Of the Liberty loan? Just as he
thinks Of every other measure adopted
by his government to put a spoke In
the wheels of the machine that will
carry him to victory. His enthusiasm
can be explained best by depicting the
manner in which he offered his pay
down to the last few pennies to his
government when the last Liberty loan
was launched.
Many of the soldiers allotted so
much Of their pay that the war depart
ment found 1t necessary to authorize
the discont,nuance of some Of these
allotments that the soldier might have
q small amount left for his personal
use.
Our American soldier Is the personi-
fication of patriotism. He Is q living
example of what his brothers back
home would do well to initiate If their
loudly proclaimed desires to help the
cause for humanity's sake are sincere.
He Is giving up his family, his home
interests, offering his life, and is now
more than willing that his monthly pay
should revert to the Golfers Of his cOun-
try If it will materially assist in win
ming the war. He is giving his all, and
willingly. He only asks for a chance
to fight and that his brothers who can
not bear arms will stand back of him
| am proud of these men and the
fervor and spirit they display. 1t will
be great honor when that day arrives
to lead them into battle, knowing they
who have given everything will fight
to the last man. 1t is to be regretted
that many soldier before induction
into the service burdened himself with
heavy financial obligations that his de-
pendents might be provided for during
his absence. / only wish that the
small, abject faction Of the civilian ele.
ment that is bringing pressure to bear
upon the already overburdened soldier
and his family because Of these same
obligations could but become imbueG
with some of the spirit of self-saciitice
and patriotism evinced by the mon on
the firing line.

Three Grades Considered.
NEED HELP ON MILK
LAW? EXPERTS
ADVICE AVAILABLE.

A study Of the milk ordinances
Of many cities, large and small,
shows a great diversity Of opin-
; ion among lawmakers and their
advisers as to what constitutes
; proper milk ordinance. A
great lack of uniformity among
) laws, some of which are entire
ly out Of date, has been noted.
Many Of them seem to be tran
scripts of ordinances in force in
other cities, placed in the mu-
nicipal series Of laws without
regard to local conditions, and
some contain provisions which
are unnecessary and unreason-
able and cannot be enforced.
Bulletin 585 of the department
. of agriculture suggests a form
Of ordinance which, 1t Is be-
heved, will prove to be a salts
factory framework upon which
the average town or city can
build a fnished,practicable law
that, properly enforced, will inf
prove the average milk supply
and work toward a desired uni
formity Of food laws.

Aeolian and Carnegie Halls
Filled to Capacity
Last Night

A few seasons ago the middle of
April used to find the concert halls al
most deserted. But last night both
Aeolian and Carnegie halls were filled
to their capacity.
At the latter Ossip Gabrilowitsch
was giving the second of his three
orchestral concerts at a time when the
Boston Orchestra, and perhaps another
OF almost equal standing, Is looking

included the Brahms second SYM

Gl!cre's facile piece of programme mu-
sic, The Sirens" Mr.. Gabrilowitsch
gave a finely shaded, deftly colored
reading of the Brahms work, somc-
times exaggerated and not always sue
cessful in dynamics and tempo, but on
the whole sound, imaginative and sure.
AS soloist in the concerto he was vigor-
Gus and brilliant
Edward Rechlin, playing the fine
organ at Aoolian Hall, gave q varied
programme, which included pieces by
J. S. Bach and his son, Philip EN-
manuel; conventional bits by Guilmant
and Widor, "Chant Negre," by the
American composer, A. Walter Kramer
and two pieces by himself. Following
the age-old custom. he made one of his
numbers an improvisation. He played
in a scholarly, straightforward manner
and with capable technique.

New Midnight Frolic Proves
To Be the Best Of the
Ceres
By Haywood Broun

Since every one is aving daylight
nowadays, it seems only fair that
something should be done for the mid
nights. The Ziegfeld Frolic should
save them from neglect. The present
show, which is the seventh Of the Sc
ries. is quite the best the New Am
sterdaln Roof has seen. These Zieg-
1eld shows are presented in spirit
OF contagious confidence Most OF the
new bill deserves this complaccnt as
surance, but even the acts which are
not so good are borne along by the
quality of authority
The honors OF the first night be-
longed to Eddie Cantor. Here manner
was rather more important than ma
terlal. None of the quips of Mr. Cam

morning after, but they were rare

emotional style. Other comedians in

method is different. lie makes his
Jokes exciting. He gets worked up
over them and succeeds in conveying
the same spirit to the audience. The
mlldest divergence from the path of
Propflety becomes in his telling daring
ana de,yilish. BY his intensity he can
MAKE the merely vulgar seem wicked.

put Rogers is erratic. He leans little
on formula. Strictly speaking, he has
no method. Personality is the only
constant factor. He depends upon the
Inspiration Of the moment. At best
Rogers IS humorist OF high class. He
IS true satlrist, and we can't think
or any other nlonologist who begins
TO deserve that title. Moreover, Rog-

However, it must be admitted that
on the first night at the roof few
or yesterdays crept in, somehow or
other. Maybe it was the fault of the
audience. The tuning between giver

Rogers IS marvel, and he will

trouble was neither with the actor nor
audience. but in the rope. 1t may have
been frayed.
Though not at his best, Rogers was
responsible for the most amusing ouip
OF the evening. In announcing a song

was really built directly from hun
dreds of blueprints made in the Ford
drafting rooms, but as the naval con-
structors insisted on checking up with
templates, the boat was actually laid
out and a template made for each
part. Having completed one boat in
the regular shipbuilding way in this
respect there will be no further use

made to plan and will go into it's place
