Great Clock Is Darkened While Nation Regains
Sixty Seconds Lost Last Spring

Two men to whom time was only an

Square last night languidly debating
whether the temperature necessitated
the investment of their capital in the
comfort offered by the Olive Tree Inn
around the corner, or whether they
should conserve it against the morn

park.
1t was almost midnight as the great
clock in the Metropolitan tower pro-
claimed in cleaning figures. Great
Office buildings lowered about the two
shabby figures on the park bench
Gloom pervaded the centre of the park.
The night wind shuffled aimlessly
among the trees, discarding leaves with
a lavish hand. Automobiles sped past
in Madison Avenue and Broadway,
passing as a backwater of the city the
square which had been the centre of
its night life when Diana ruled alone
among the stars

Famous Educator,
Dies of Influenza

Strength
Pioneer in Chosen Field

WASHINGTON, Oct. t26.-Mrs. Ella
Flagg Young, of Chicago. chairman OF
the National Woman's Liberty Loan
Committee and former superintendent
of Chicago's public schools, died here
to-day of pneumonia, following a short
illness from influenza. When she was
stricken Mrs. Young had just com
pleted her work for the fourth loan, to
which she had given all her energy.
Ii was on speaking tour for the loan
that her illness was contracted.
Mrs. Young, who was born in Buffalo
seventy-three years ago, was one Of
Americas leading educators and the
first woman in the country to hold an
important public school post. She was
chosen superintendent of Chicago's
public schools in 1909 from group o.
SIX candidates, the rest of whom were
men educators of national reputation.
In her capacity as superintendent
Mrs. Young fought many bitter battles
with politicians both on and off the
school board. In July. 1913, she re
signed, saying, 81 can fight for prin-
ciple. can fight for another person.
but | am too old to fight for myself"
She was quickly relnStated by public
clamor, however, only to be ousted from
office by the Board of Education in
December.
This action precipitated a storm OF
protest. Backed by the women Of the
city, Mayor Harrison caused the resig-
nation of the five members of the
board who had voted against her, and
once more put her m office. Mrs.
Young was also president of the Ma
tional Education Association from 1910
to 1911, the first and only woman to
hold that office.
Sex hygiene. enlargement of kinder
garten courses, vocationa, training and
simplitication of primary work were
among the reforms inauguratcd by the
woman superintendent.
Mrs. Young got her knowledge OF
schools from an experience of almost
fifty years in teaching She taught in
Chicago in various public schools, and
later was appointed to teach in the
Department of Education at Chicago
University. In 1868 she married a
Chicago merchant, who died a year
later.

Six bonds are printed on a sheet.
The paper is first wetted down by plac-
ing twenty sheets between two wet
cloths under weight. After four days
the paper is ready for the first impress
sion. 1T is then submitted to the same
process. and after another four days is
ready for the second printing. The
backs OF the bonds are printed first,
then the faces. Practically the same
design is used for all the bonds. The
difference in denomination is shown by
the color.
The fourth issue of bonds represents
the finest portraiture known in steel

the bonds are not printed at the same
time, it is necessary to make them fit.
This work, which requires the highest
degree 81, ct efficiency and skill, is done by
girls. The bonds are also examined by
girls as they come from the press.
Girls do all the work in putting the
bonds in shape to be pressed and
plated. Two bonds are placed back to
back between heavy cardboard. One
girl puts in the sheets, another the
cardboard Eight thousand sheets a
day is the rate of the average girl
worker. They are then "ironed" by a
hydraulic press. five thousand pounds to
the square inch. After one more ex-
animation the bonds are then ready for
counting, packing and delivery.

Music
Then and Now in the PLAYING
of Jascha FIeifetz

A year ago the young volnist Writ
uoso and artist, Jascha Heifetz, came
out Of Russia, and at his first recital
stirred up memories Of the masters of
the generation that had passed away by
the nobility and equipoise of his play
ing, by an exhibition Of penetrative
intelligence, sense of the compelling
charm of repose unfolding itself so
subtly as to leave no thought of tech
nical achievement, an appreciation OF
beauty of tone. tonal nuancc, color,
symmetrical adjustment of phrase,
impeccablc intonation and loneliness of
line, which were an all-suttcient OK
preston of beauty in the music which
he played. Even in the COMPOSE tons
comparatively inconseQuential in their
musical contents and obviously de
signed to display the technical acquire
ments which please the groundlings be-
cause they amaze them, he preserved
the elements of lofty beauty by avoid
ing cxaggerations and pursuing the
path of conscious capacity. Yesterday
afternoon, when he gave a recital in
Carnegie Hall, he manifested deplora-
BILE disposition to sentimentallZe all
the classical serenity out of the music,
as if determined to adapt it to the
sensiblites of mushy boarding school
misses. For the honest drawing and
straightforward sentiment of the mu-
sic, which need to be borne aloft to
retain the interest of modern music
lovers, the real appreciators of the
composition had to cling to the tran
scription of the orchestral part played
on the pianoforte by Mr.. Andre Benoist
The violin solo was 100 pretty to be
beautiful. Mr.. Heifetz has lost none of
the great skill which showed him to be
a master year ago, but he seems to be
in danger of losing some of his great
ideals. Has he become apprehensive
lest some of his rivals surpass him in
popularity? He has the elements in
his art which should lift him above
such fear. There is nothing to be
gained by playing down to the level of
an audience crowding Carnegie Hall in
a time of epidemic. when obvious rea-
sons have compelled his rivals to cancel
their engagements. Not always. bat
