Miss Marie Kryl, Young Pianist
OF Much Promise. Heard
at AeOlian Hall

Miss Marie Kryl, who gave a re-
cital last night at Aeoiian Hall. is a
young pianist of unqrestionable
promise. She possesses already a
technique which is clean. nimble, and
often really brilliant. her touch s
at once firm and delica,e, she tosses
OF staccati passages with surprising
ease, she possesses for so young an
artist, unusual vigor and unusual
poise. Her Chopin (and the first half
Of the programme was devoted to him)
was a very open air Chorin Neither
in the prelude, the ctldes, or the 3
fat minor Sonato did she languish
or sentimentalize, yet after all, Chopin
has his sentimental side and it ought
to be shown. Miss Kryl played him
with dash, but to his poetic side she
attempted to give a good airing. Yet
She gave the marche funebre effect
ively.
Other numbers on her programme
we're Schumann's "Pappillors" and Six
Caprices Of Paganini-Aiszt :,
Miss Kryl has youth. sound
grounding in the mechanics of her
art, freshness Of outlook and latent
fire. The rest may very we'll come.

Committee Finds Less
Need of School Lunches
Plan to install Such Service
Where 1t Is Needed Will Be
Worked Ont

The Board of Education's special
committee on school luncheons made
public yesterday an adverse report on
the recommendation of the Board of
uperintendcnts that a bureau of
school feeding be established. The
serving of school lunches, the commit
tee declares, ought to be carried on
"by the professional staff within the
department"
1t is intimated in the report that the
recommendation for such a bureau NAV
have been inspired by outside agencies
now serving lunches to school children.
10 establish it as recommended, it is
declared, would mean salary charge
'out of all proportion to the total ap-
preparation for school luncheons"
The need for school luncheons is not
great, the committee declares. Few of
the principals interrogated on the sub
Ject thought the service was needed
Some said the need had been dccreas-
ing fer the last three years and some
whose schools had had such service
said it no longer was needed
The committee will work out at once.
with the Board Of Superintendents, a
plan to install the service in every
school where it is needed.

Ocean and Ditmas avenues, Flatbush.
w neither we believe in prohibition

that when it goes into effect there will
be a great increase in drug users in
New York City. One person in every
thirty in New York City to-day is ad
dlcted to the use of some sort of drug.
would venture to say that there are
100000 in the entire city"
Already, Commissioner Copeland as
serted, the scarcity of liquor has had
its effect upon the drug markets.
The cocaine used during December
and January was greater than for ten
preceding months" he said, "and for
February increased so greatly that the
wholesalers had to limit the sale to
the retailers.
81 urge that some steps be taken to
meet this coming situation. There are
serious defects in the law regarding the
sale of narcotics, and l intend to do
something not only for the treatment
of those addicted to the use of
drugs. but to make it harder for unr
authorized persons to get them"

Salvatore Ninfo. of the International
Ladies' Garmont Workers. Union, said ::
Mayor Uylan has betrayed his
trust to the laboring mon, who elected
him, by permitting these police atroci-
ties. Instead of allowing pickcts to
explain their cause to the non-union
workers, the police have created a
reign of terror in the strike district.
"You can sec girls beaten into in
sensibility most any morning in the
Street section. If it were near cleo
ton time Hylan would be getting this
strike settled"
George Rothman. of the Brotherhood
of Painters, moved that a committee
demand of Hylan that he give the girls
their rights.
When Hylan and Enright ceased to
be the topic Postmaster General Burle-
son became the subjoct of the unions
denunciation. Percy Thomas, of the
Tclegraphcrs' Union. introduced res
olution, which was adopted, demanding
that Burleson's reign be ended. The
resolution asked President Wilson to

Hornaday Blames
kmchwey for Lack
OF Domestic Help
Employment Service Chief
Is Attacked by Director of
Zoo for Urging Retention
of Women War Workers

DR.. William T. Hornaday, director
Of The Bronx Geological Park, took
issue yesterday with DR.. George W
Kirchwey, director of the United
States Employment Service, on the
question whether women should be
ousted from wartime jobs to provide
employment for discharged soldiers.
DR.. Hornaday, in a letter published
IN The Tribune on Thursday, asserted
women should return to their peace
time occupations. DR.. kirchwey, in ar
interview in The Tribune yesterday
took the position that the men had nc
right to "throw the women out to face
possible poverty and to increase the
ranks of the unemployed" He held
that women had done patriotic service
in filling the mems places and said the
employment service is urging employ
ors to keep their women workers.
Doubts "ratriotic Motives"
This stirred DR.. Ilornaday yesterday
to renew the attack He said nr
kirchwey is to be "hlamed for strip
ping the kitchens, nurseries AMI the
aundrcs of the help necessary to {
family's cXistence.' He also made ar
offer Of SIS to DR.. Kirchwey for the name
and address Of any servant who wa.
actuated by "patriotic motives" that
IS, took job at less pay than she got
before the war-in taking mans Job
Or. Kirchwcy stands forth as the
greatest enemy Of the American home.
said DR.. Hornaday. "He SCOTS at the
idea that female houseworkers shoulC
be turned back to their former EN-.
ployment and he urges all employers
of women to retain them. In this at.
tltudc DR.. Kirchwey ignores the in
terests of the jobless soldiers and the
American housewives. Everything DR.
Nlrchwey says corroborates my orig
NAL statement and shows who is t(
be blamed hereafter for stripping tht
Kitchens, nurseries and laundries oil

DIR. klrchwey admits that for do
mestlc servants there are three Jobs
open to every applicant. How do the
wives and mothers of New York like
the situation? Are they pleased with
the attitude of the United States EN-
ployment Service? Do they think the,
are getting square deal? Referrinf
to DR.. kirchwey's remark, we are
urging all employers to keep the
women who so valiantly stepped for
ward to fiji the gap in industry causec
by the war, even if every household
has to go without female servants.
will say that that is at once fo lish
and brutl speech because we know
that the women we are talking about
left their old jobs to take new ones be-
cause of the enormous increase in pay
and shorter hours
WAS there anything valiant il

Could Not Have
Won War Without
Women, Says Gibbs
Men Could Not Have Endur-
ed the Years of Agony En-
cept for Spiritual Aid of
Those at Home, He Adds

"The war could not have been won
without women. The men at the front
could rot have endured those four
years of agony without the great spir-
itual help of the women at home
This WAS the testimony OF Philip
Gibbs, the English war correspondent,
who talked of the hcroisn of women to
an audience of suffragists at the Ho-
tel Commodore yesterday.
II have always been suffragist," >"
said Mr.. Gibbs. "even when I ran
more risks in militant raids than |
ever did in air raids.
"I have seen the women of France
in the fields while shells fell in the
rows they were narrowing" he con-
tinued. They were not only the peas
ant women, but great ladies' One
remember is the Countess OF Elon-
cour, who owned one of the most beau
tiful chateaus in France, near Amiens.
This great lady drove a plough in the
fields and MIXED the cows, and when
the German drive came and she had
to leave her chateau in ruins she
drove her cattle down the roads ahead
of her, in order that the soldiers of
France might not lose the food value
Of those cattle.
