OLD ENGLISH CHRISTMAS
SONG

All hail to the days that merit more
praise
Than all the rest of the year.
And welcome the nights that double de-
lights
AS well for poor as for peer.
Good fortune attend each merry mans
friend
That doth but the best that he may,
Forgetting old wrongs in carols and songs
To drive the cold winter away
This time of the year is spent in good
cheer,
And neighbors together do meet.
To sit by the fire with friendly desire,
Each other in love for to greet.
Old grudges forgot. as put in the pot,
And sorrows aside they all lay;
The old and the young do carol this song,
To drive the cold winter away.
When old Christmas-tide comes in like q
bride.
With ivy and green holly clad,
Twelve days in the year much mirth and
good cheer
In every household is had.
The countryman's guise IL then to devise
Some gambOls of Christmas play,
Where every young man does the best
that he can
To drive the cold winter away.

The Green Room Club, an actors or
ganization which is unique in being
composed almost entirely OF members OF
the theatrical profession, gave its sew
enteenth annual dress rehearsal last
night at the Hudson Theatre.
Prohibition was very badly man
handled during the show, but this was
the only casualty despite the fact tina,
there were more actors in the audience
than on the stage. With the exception
OF Samuel Siegel, who mandolined Mile
Margaret Severn, premiere danseuse
who danseused. and Doraldina. who
ehlmmied. almost everybody took a
whack at prohibition.
The principal feature OF the rehearsal
was satire by Curtis Benton called

BOWMAN ANSWERS
CRAIG ABOUT PLAZA
Says Pershing Square Would
Increase Hotel Taxes.

John McE. Bowman, president OF the
Biltmore, Commodore and other hotels
In the vicinity OF Pershing SQUARE. has
sent letter Of protest 10 Mayor Hylan
and other members of the Board Of Estl-
mate denying the assertion of Comp
tTOller Charles l.. Craig that an Interior
motive 10 enhance tho values of hotel
property was behind the proposed
amendment to the Rapid Transit act.
which was popularity known as the
Pershing Square bill Under the exist
ing law II the city acquires property for
rapid transit purposes and does not
utilize 1t for that purpose the property
must be disposed OF, The amendment
would have permitted the city to retain
the property which was the site OF tn.
old Grand Union Hotel and provided for
the creation of n park as memorial 10
the American Expeditionary Forces.
After disclaiming Comptroller Crais's
suggestion that the proposal was in ef-
feet an attempt on the part OF the hotel
interests to obtain park convenient 20
their property at the expense OF the city
under the suise of a patriotic project Mr,
Bowman says:
Both OF these statements are without
foundation. When | appeared before the
board I made II very plain that II the
city sold this property ] would endeayor
10 purchase it and II an Office building
were erected 1t would be profitable for
my hotel interests around Pershing
Square.

Square. II the property is sold and an
Office building erected 1t will add TO my
hotel business. But IL will also add IN
the congestion that now exists in this
location. with the unquestionable result
of the citys having TO uprchase back
this property in years to come Mt figures
which may be almost prohibitive."
The proposed amendment referred 10
by Mr.. Bowman was killed in the closing
hours OF the Legislature.

DANGER OF GERMAN
DYES is SECUTED
Joseph II. Choate, Jr., Dis
cusses Sale Via China.

There is no danger OF the budding
american dye market being flooded with
cheap German dyes brought In from
CHINA or other surrepttious sources.
Joseph II. Choate, Jr., head of the
chemical foundation established by the
Federal Government to handle the pat
ented processes and for some time con-
nected with this work In the office of
the Alien Property Custodian, told a re-
porter for THE Sun yesterday that II
package Of cheap dyes had been Of
fered for sale. as described in a MORN
Ing newspaper. there were few IL any
like 1t still around
Mr.. Choate was asked in regard to a
story that a Brooklyn dye merchant had
purchased for $3.50 a package OF fine
aniline dye. comparable to that sold In
the American market for 80, and wrap
ped in a package bearing a Chinese
label. Part Of the container, however.
bore the mark of the Actien Gesell-
schaft fur Anilin Fabrikaten, Berlin,
Carlowitz & Co, sole agents. The Ac-
tien Gesellschaft was one OF the big
six" of German dye makers before the
war. 1t had an agency here which was
taken over by the Allen Property Gus
todian.
Practically all stocks OF German dyes
in this country were disposed OF before
the Alien Property Custodian took hold.
on account of the high prices that pre-
vailed before the American manufac-
turers developed their own processes
Also there is no possibility OF importing
any dyes from German stocks that
might be left over in China as all i'm
ports OF that character require a license
from the War Trade Board and no such
licenses have been granted.
Mr.. Choate gave II as his opinion that
II can OF dye had been sold as de-
scribed 1t was a stray remainder OF a
stock. He was very much interested
in the story. however, and indicated
that the matter be thoroughly investi-
gated.
