Committee Chosen
To Hasten Action
On School Lunches
Child Welfare Organizations
Want Immediate Action:
Urge Appointment of
Specialist as Director

A committee to hasten action by the
Board of Education on the installation
of city-wide school lunch system has
been appointed, following a meeting
held under the auspices Of the Child
Health Organization at 1856 Fifth Ave
nue.. Practically every organization
which has advocated school lunches
was represented
Impotence over the delay in utilizing
the $4,000 appropriated for research
and experimental work was freely ex-
pressed by several speakers and in sub
sequent discussions. This money has
passed many idle weeks in the city
treasury, while welfare workers have
been pointing out that each DAYS delav
means further incursions of malnutri-
ton into the. student body of New
York's elementary schools.
The committee includes DR.. Mary
Swartz Rose, of Teachers College; Mrs.
Alfred Hess, a student of the feeding
of children; Mrs. William Guggenheim
and Miss Frances Wood AS the school
lunch question rests with Mrs Emma
l.. Murray, of the Board of Education.
the committee will arrange to confer
with her
49, . ~ 10y IL SeiIu W Dc opposed
to the appointment at salary of $4,000
of woman who has made life study
of the school lunch system.
Every day that school lunches are
kept from the school means that NAL
nutrition gains scores of new Victims"
said DR.. Rose. "There should be no
hesitation in selecting the person best
fitted for the work
The job requires highly trained
specialist. 1t is a business enterprise,
Involving turnover of probably $780,
GOO a year, as the lunch system will be
practically self supporting. If the
Board of Education believes that the
domestic science department can just
make the food and distribute it there
is much for the board to learn"
DR.. Herbert Wilcox, of the public
health committee of the Academy of
Medicine, declared that the value of
school lunches has been clearly demon
strated. He counselled against further
delay Tha selection of food must be
left to an expert. he said

Music

Nine. Alice Peroux- Williams. mezzo
soprano, gave a song recital in Aeo-
liam Hall last night and was listened
to respectfully by an audience which
disclosed taste and good breeding by
applauding discriminatory and never
boisterously, enough of a phenome-
non to be set down in the record be-
cause of its rarity in these days of
strenuous music making.
Nine. PerouN Williams is an Amer
lean lady who has lived and studied in
Europe, and she disclosed knowledge
and appreciation of refined song in
the old Italian and modern French
schools as we'll as the Russian COM
posers of yesterday, and Mr.. John AL
den Carpenter as the representative
Of America Of to-day. Her programme
was far out Of the ordinary line and
her interpretations were intelligent,
even when her voice and art fell short
of the high standard which Is ex-
pected from the givers of song re-
citals OF to-day.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 81.
w Plans Of the National
Woman's party for meeting Presi-
dent Wilson at the dock in Boston
were seriously affected today
when they learned that none of
their number would be permitted
to go within 1900 feet of the dock.
The militants say they may
picket the hall in which the Presi-
dent will speak, or hold a suffrage
watch fire on the Boston Common.
Banners and prison costumes
were sent yesterday to Boston
with Miss Elsie Hill, national or
ganizer for the party.
The banners to be carried
will be:
"Mr. President, what will you
do for woman suffrage?"
"Mr. President, how long must
women wait for liberty?"
"Mr. President, your party has
defeated suffrage. You are re-
sponsible. One week remains to
obtain the one vote needed in the
Senate. Do you dare return to
the peace conference debating de-
mocracy while you permit your
own party to violate democracy at
home?"

Barrie Letter Read by
Gillette at Theatre

M. BARRIE'S contribution to
~ the Lowell centenary cele-
bration here took the form of
letter to DR.. Nicholas Murray But
Ter, and was read by William Gil
lette at the performance Of Bar
rie's Dear Brutus," at the En-
pire Theatre, last evening. The
letter follows:
"The Athenaum, S. w.
January %, 1919.
Dear Mr.. Murray Butler:
"If / were there on the Goth, to
appear in public for the first and
only time, l should be we'll content
if the first and only speech of my
life was on the passionate desire
of my heart-a closer friendship
between America and Britain.
II should probably make my
speech from Lob's favorite posi-
tion-beneath the table. Even
then the front row only would
hear me (and the others would be
the lucky ones). I would have to
say that / could not make speech
to thousand people, but that If
they would join me, one at time,
beneath the table, | would make
thousand speeches to them. I
would tell them that the play Of
Dear Brutus' is an allegory about
a gentleman called John Bull who
years and years ago missed the
opportunity of his life (like Bacon
when he did not write Shake
speare). The Mr.. Dearth of the
play is really John Bull--as Mr..
Gillette cunningly indicates by his
figure. Margaret, the Might Have
Been, Is really America.
"The play shows how \on the
fields Of France this father and
daughter get second opportunity
of coming together; and the night
ingale is George Washington ask
ing them to do it on his birthday.
Are the two now to make it up
permanently, or forever to drift
apart? Second chances come to
few, and as for third chance,
who ever heard of it? 1t is now or
never. If it is now, something
will have been accomplished
greater than the war itself-de-
mocracy will have sown it's noblest
seed, the fruit whereof America
was created to give forth, that
every child born into the world
should have an equal chance.
"The future of mankind is listen
ing for our decision; if we cannot
rise to the second chance ours will
be the blame, but the sorrow will
be posterity's. We shall have to
say sadly enough:
1.-THE fault, dear Jonathan, is not
in our stars,
But in ourselves, that we are
underlings.'
~. M. BARRIE"

ing to impress not Don jose but the
audience. AS for being gypsy, that
of course Is impossible with Miss Gar
den.
Yet, despits her essential failure,
there we're many bits Of original bust
ness which were none the less excel
lent for being out of the tradition.
Miss Garden is never stupid. She was
in rather better voice than is usual
with her, and at times she really sang
the music in manner which BiZet
would have understood. But Carmen
with Miss Garden will always be but g
tostr de force; like the dog who walks
on his hind legs, she doesn't do it very
well, but you wonder she does it at all.
Of the two Don Joses the Metropoli
tan's was by far the more successful.
Mr.. Martinelh sang and acted with
fervor and passion; Mr.. Fontaine did
neither. The two Escamillos, Mr..
Whitehill and Mr.. Baklanoff, were both
excellent: Mr.. Whitehill of greater dis
tinction of bearing and polish of style
and diction; Mr.. Baklanoff possessed of
the bigger voice.
The Metropolitan presented new
Micaela in Miss Margaret Romaine.
Miss Romano made an excellent i'm
preston. She was nervous during the
first act and in the duet gave forth
more voice than was necessary, but
she sang the big air of the third act
splendidly. Her voice when forced
inclines to hardness. But at Other
times it is of a peculiarly sweet
timbre. In addition she was a Micaela
simple in action and good to look
upon.
Miss Sharlow, who sang the part at
the Lexington, was equally good dra-
matically, but she sang the music less
skilfully.
In both companies the minor parts
very we'll taken. The scenery and the
general stage management at the Met
ropolitan we're far superior, but nei-
Their Mr.. Monteux nor Mr.. Charlier
distinguished himself in the con-
ductor's stand. Both performers lacked
drive and vigor of beat. G. v

Houses with neither windows or chimnevs are being lived in by the people of the Scottish islands, the Hebridcs The peat fire IS kept burn ing day and night, and Is, in spite of the smoke. the savior of the house. hold the straw roof does not keep out the rain, and thus almost ncces- sitates ''box-be(is ; there is often more than propinquity of the COWS and their manure. The "black houses" are, of course, deplorable and deteriorative but that is not their scientific description. The fact is that, in point after point, these "black houses" are like organisms built up under difficult conditions, meagery perhaps, but with remark able adaptivcneSs. The stones are from the moor; timber is from the sea; lime mortar is expensive; the roof must be nodded every year and therefore the walls must be low :; moreover, the, gales are high. At every point the house is adapted to its fundamental purposes, and what the doctrinaire student or the care less visitor diSmfsses as unworthy of .savages, the product of lazlness or p2ryorsity, turns out to be product of long labor and sacrifice, funda- mental part of the only system of agriculture formerly found possible in this island of gneiss rock, clay and peat moss.

WOOD PULP FIBER PUZZLES
edged of Value, but Rivals Have Not Fathomed Its Production.

There has been much discussion in the German press during recent weeks concerning wood pulp fiber named "Cellulon," for which large claims are made as an efficient sub -stitute for jute, cotton and other iibers, says the English Board ot Trade Journal.
 It appears to be certain that the fiber is not made by spinning long strips of paper run off reels through water in the manner which German paper textile substitutes have made familiar. The accounts agree in de- scribing the process, or processes, as "a direct manufacture from wood pulp.
 The British consul general at Zu- rich, who has presented report to the foreign office, states that the method employed operates on the same general lines as that used for artificial silk mannfacture-that is, by squeezing under high pressure through small holes in plates.
