1 Handling a heavily loaded truck on 1 the best of roads and under the most ! favorable conditions is generally con. l sidered to be a man-sized job, but to lake that truck and place it where IIthere are practically no roads and still maintain a regular schedule thru all sorts of weather conditions would call for more skill than the majority of male truck drivers have. And yet, that is just what Miss Josephine Hay den, of Philadelphia, did for two years.
 Miss Hayden, who arrived in town on the Yukon, returned to the United States from two years service along the battle front in France three weeks prior to her departure for Al aska. During this time she piloted an immense motor truck in the Aisne and Somme sectors, delivering sup plies to the stricken French villages Like all people who do great things and do them well it is hard to get Miss Hayden to talk of her exploit, altho she declares that it was the most wonderful experience in a life time.
 In June, 1917, the Philadelphia Emergency Aid organization sent to France a number of young girls who volunteered to drive trucks in the war zone, Miss Hayden being one of them. This organization was ofiiCi- ally recognized by the French govern ment and it took over the direct supervision of the the work.
 Altho in the heart of the war zone for two years, and often on the very edge of the firing line, Miss Hayden says that the only way they were informed of activities in other sec tions of the battle front was when papers or letters were received from home This was due to the strict censorship maintained by the armies She, as well as her companions, de sired very much to become associat- ed with the American troops when they arrived in France to assist in the fight against the Huns, but the need for them in the section in which they were working was so urgent that they willingly sacrificed their personal wishes in order that they might do their bit in humanity's cause.

WIRELESS MUSIC

How music was transmitted by
wireless from one United States war
ship TO another. and used for dance
accompaniment 10 one OF the most
interesting stories brought back by
the returning service men. The In
cident, which took place in the Firth
OF Forth, Oft Scotland. is related by
Maurice Warner. an American Vio-
linlst and former pupil OF Leopold
Auer, who has iust received his dis
charge from the United States navy.
Stationed aboard the New York.
Mr.. Warner organised one OF the
best oreheStrNS In the navy aboard
that ship. and q was with these men
that the Sto-by-wireless expert
ment was tried, Seated close to the
wireless telephone apparatus on their
ship, the orchestra played q number
OF selections which were received on
the United States steamship ArkAn-
sas, anchored about two or three
miles away. There the sounds were
mRgntfied by a special device. with
the result that they served as well
for dance music as II a phonograph
had been played close at hand. The
music was also conveyed to other
ships in the neighborhood.
Admiral Rodman. whose flagship
Is the New York, Is very musical and
would often play duets with Warner.
His instrument is a sort OF ancient
zither in which he frequently finds
relief from his great responsibilities.

! school; that is not the point at issue.
But they do serve the public, as well,
and why cannot that service "evolute"
to meet changing conditions?
WRshington's only auditorium,
available for uncommercial endeavor
Of uplift and diversion, Is hedged
about by conditions that are proving
such endeavor.
No charge may be asked
No invitation privileges may be
guaranteed.
This brings about a situation SINH
lar to that OF the Oratorio Society,
under Sydney Lloyd Wrightson.
II tickets could be sold at 80 cents
apiece-which is the ideal arrange
ment, and would liQuidate expenses,
with no commercial gain in both the
case Of the Community Opera and the
Oratorio Society-if tickets could be
sold, 1t would insure an equable dis
tribution in the support Of the en-
deavor. The support would be by
the community. instead of by a few.
Mr.. Wrightson says: why discrim-
mate? Why let some be unduly
taxed, while others may contribute
nothing?" Mr.. Wrightson cites, as il
lustration, that while his collection
was over 5000 for THE Messiah" less
than 800 came from the gallery to
which the public at large was admit
ted. without card or invitation.
'The public is becoming so sur
feited with things for nothing. that
they are becoming callous," Mr..
Wrightson finds. And it isn't doing
the music lovers any good either" he
added.
Try To Assure Guarantee.
The War Camp Community Service,
by the distribution OF SOC tickets to
people who are personally interested
in the welfare of the community
opera, Is trying to guarantee its ex-
penses. The general public aids
and it b hoped will aid generously
but this assurance must be provided
for. Except for these 600 seats, TO bs

CURE WOUNDEDBY
MUSICO-THERAPY

The latest modern science thrust
into prominence by the war IL musico-
therap. which utiliEes the curative
powers Of rhythm and harmony.
Miss Margaret Anderton, who has
been studying the healing forces OF
music since she was eight years old,
has returned to New York from Can
ada, where she has been practicIng
musico-therapy on the wounded Ca
madam boys who have returned from
the battlenelds OF France. She has
been engaged BY Columbia University
TO organize q class which she will
instruct in her methods with a view
to using the same successful treat
meats to restore our own boys to
health and Vigor.
Miss Anderton before the war had
effected some big improvements and
even cures by her unusual treat
ments. When the wounded soldiers
began to return to Canada she felt
the call to duty. and because she Is a
loyal British subject, she left her mu-
steal work in New York and has been
spending many months with the
wounded and disabled men in the Ca
madam military hospitals.
The stories that she tells OF her
work are inspiring as they are remark
able. one OF the most interesting
cases Of direct cure effected BY music
was the restoration OF memory to a
young captain suffering from aphasiA,

For Health and Happiness.

The War Camp Community Service,
as its name implies, is for health and
happiness. and thereby for highest ef-
ficiency for the community during the
stress Of war and its present read
justment Washington has still a sur
plus population Of between 10000 and
10000 war workers, with a floating
population Of 40, 900 service men who
are stationed in and about the city.
The inability to obtain any further
definite concession, for "Pagliacci"
and for "The Pirates of Penzance," is a
huge handicap to results already per-
fected and which deeply concern the
public veal"
The handicap Is obvious. The situa-
zion is OF public concern because OF
these many war workers. numESr
Of whom are in the operas-even
aside from the civic obligation to the
residents OF the Capital City Of the
>ntire United States.
The limitations Of the city loom
high, also. when one finds out that
these operas must be given free to the
public. Not that that is not a highly
commendable fact, at first glance. The
ideal is very beautiful But expert
ence has proven the plan one very
difficult to handle.

Nor was the attempt successful.
The war has brought about many
changes in our idea Of extension OF
public privileges. The incident
points out several facts that are
worthy OF consideration at this time:
What is the public, but the school
grown up?
School funds are public funds.
Precedents have been smashed In
the successful prosecution of the war.
Precedents must be established in
the New Community Service.

thing to be guarded against
Why cannot the high school grant
the privilege of selling tickets, at a
nominal price, to other organizations
than the Fine Arts Society or the
high school operas? To both Of these
the privilege has been extended the
past winter.
Why discriminate?
Is it consistent?
By not doing so the crowd endan-
gers the individual: the BENEFITS are
withheld from people who should be
considered; and, humanity speaking,
the people who give their time, labor
and talents in these art-works are
discouraged, and the art impulse of
the community is destroyed by the
difficulties each fresh endeavor must
encounter.
Is it efficient? Is it progressive?
Must Find Provision.

be found.
