ihACUSE, Dec. 1.-THE sup-
gestlon for putting uniforms
on all girls who work in public
places, and recommendations that
Seenographers wear less trans
parent waists. made recently by
the Syracuse Council of Women's
Clubs, has caused furore among
working girls here.
The women's clubs declared
ehat girls working in public
places should be designated by a
uniform cut along much more
simple lines than the clothes
many of them wear. This was
recommended as matter Of
health. The clubwomen also said
that stenographers wore their
waists cut too low and their skirts
cut too short, and that silk stock
lngs are absolutely unnecessary
for typists. They suggested that
silk hose be forbidden.
The girls say the proper way to
better the condition Of the work
ing girl is to help her materially
instead of finding fault because
she tries to dress like clubwomen.

Music
Philadelphia Orchestra Gives
Masterly Programme of
Three Numbers

The Philadelphia Orchestra gave it's
second New York concert yesterday
afternoon at Carnegie Hall before an
audience which quite filled the house.
There were only three numbers on the
programme-the Third Symphony of
Brahms, the Rachmaninoff G minor con-
certo and Rimsky- -Korsakoff's "Caprice
Espagnole."
The solo part in the concerto was
sustained by Ossip Gabrilowitsch. Mr..
Stokowski's reading of the symphony
was masterly.
1t is impossible to conceive how any
one who heard the performance could
ever again accuse Brahms of being
heavy or confused in content. The SYM
phony, under Mr.. Stakowski's baton, be-
came crystalline in Its clarity, and the
under voices of the orchestra were
heard with beautiful effect, yet never
ticulation of the performance obtained
at the expense Of the native strength Of
the composer. The audience showed by
it's applause that it appreciated what
it received.
The Rachmaninoff concerto is al
ways a grateful and often a valuable
work and proves that even out of
modern Russia can come genius which
still loves beauty and normality of ut
terance. Mr.. Gabrilowitsch gave of it
a performance at once brilliant and
exquIsitely composed, and Mr.. Stokow-
ski an accompaniment worthy of the
solo part. The Rimsky- Korsakoff
number was also finely played, but it
came, because of its inherent qualities,
distinctly as an anti-climax.
Miss Muri Silba, young pianist,
who has been heard here before, gave
recital last night at Aeolian Hall.
Miss Silba is musician Of considerable
technical facility, who plays with
taste and not a little power, with q
warm tone and good feeling for
rhythm. Among the things she
played last night were the Schumann
G minor Sonata and group of
Chopin. She was greeted by large
audience.
Rudolph GAM was the assisting
artist at last nights meeting of the
Humanitarian Cult, at Carnegie Hall.
He played number of Chopin selec-
tlons, Grainger's Irish tunes from
County Derry. his own Capriccio for
the right hand and several Liszt num-
bers. G. V.

Dooling Attacks
Dairies' Plea of
Inadequate Price
Assistant District Attorney
Says Figures Show Dealers
Have Found Rate Charged
for Milk To Be Profitable

Assistant District Attorney John T.
Doollng, representing the city in the
John Doe inquiry into the high cost
OF milk, attacked, at yesterdays hear
ing before Chief Magistrate McAdoo, in
General Sessions, the contention of the
farmers that they were being forced
out of business because the price they
were receiving for milk was not ade-
quate. He achieved results in CUES
tlonlng Albert Manning and Louis M.
Hardin, secretary and treasurer, re-
spectively, of the Dairymen's League,
Mr.. Manning, at previous sessions, had
Indignantly denied that farmers were
being overpaid for their milk and had
asserted many were being compelled to
Withdraw from the dairy business.
From 1905 to 1915, when farmers
were getting an even smaller price than
now" Mr.. Dooling said, after an ex-
animation of Mr. Dooling's accounts,
Mr.. Manning increased his establish
ment and properties from an $500
value to $4,000. With little income
other than from the sale of mil, he
lived in a large, we'll furnished house,
with every earmark of prosperity"
Mr.. Manning said that in 1907 milk
brought the dairyman three -ffths Of a
cent a quart profit and in 1910, two
thirds of a cent. The latest price is
almost SO cents it was brought out.
Mr.. Manning announced that the sales
committee of the Dairymen's League
would meet John Mitchell at the Food
Administration headquarters next Fri
day and fix the price for January.
The witness ased Mr.. Dooling if the
investigation was for the purpose of
showing that he had misappropriated
the leagues funds. He said that in
case such charges were made, he want
ed the league to be notified immedi-
atty to that effect On the other hand,
he said, if his record was not chal-
lenged, he also wanted the league to be
informed.
Mr. Hardin testified that his thirty
milking cows on his farm in Essex
County, N. j., had. between July /,
1917, and December l, 1913, netted him
a gross income of $4,000
A statement by Magistrate McAdoo
was read into the record during the
proceedings. 1t pointed out that the
purpose of the inquiry was to ascertain
whether the state laws had been vio-
lated and who was actually responsible
for the milk cost.
