New York. June THE other day
, the father of two interesting daugh-
! ters came To me with the following
| problem:
II have two little girls al home, one
seventeen and the other fifteen. l
would like TO have them to the
theatre occasionally for recreation,
amusement ard information. There
is a glamor about the stage to the
young mind that ought to be helpful
and not hurtful. II is an incentive to
the imagination. It is n revelation in
character should like to have my
daughters secure some of these bene-
fits.
But frankly I'm stuped. I don't
know where to send them. I've seen
many of this season ~ productions. I've
read most of the opinions OF the
critics. I've scanned the theatrical
advertising columns carefully. And
seem to find very. very few shows
that I'd feel entirely safe about let
ting my girls go to see.
For instance. l couldn't have them
go TO the average musical comedy be-
cause there is usually turn to the
plot that unfits II for youthful minds
OF course they are barred from the
craze in farces because these are
nowadays of too broad a character
Most melodrama nowadays also re-
wolves about incidents that are either
not understandable by, or too indeii-
cate for, the youthful mind. The So
ciety drama also. Is too much in
VOWED in some sex problem to permit
the ears OF the young to hear its dis
custom.
I'D like my daughters to go to the
playhouse frequently-say once every
two weeks or SO. But III be bound
If the plays are here to warrant that
frequent attendance. In fact, l can
recall not more than three or four
productions this season to which l
have felt perfectly satisfied TO take
them,
Among them were a Prince There
Was Forever After 'DaddieS. The
Little Teacher. The Rose and the
Ring, and the Hippodrome. Beyond
these the bars were up.
The contention is important and i'm
pressive | wonder if the big theatre
cal producers have appraised Il
fairly. The position Of the father Of
these daughters Is no different than
It would be were his children sons of
that age. Is the theatre catering to
the tastes Of the young who ten years
from new should form "a very large
percentage Of its patronage From
Ia purely commercial aspect, would
there not be wisdom in appealing
more frequently to he youthful pleas
ure seeker? And would not a few
more plays, fit for the young, help TO
relieve the age from some OF the
storm of censure that has descended
on it for its broadness and indeicacy?

lSPACE DRAWINGS MADE
| FOR TWO MOTOR SHOWS
Preparations Started at Meeting Of
Producers for New York and
Chicago Events.

Drawing for space at the January
automobile shows at New York and
Chicago was among the important
matters considered at meeting of
automobile manufacturers Of the Ma
tional Automobile Chamber of Com
merce in New York city a few days
ago.
There were eighty-three applica-
tions for space for passenger cars and
eighty-one requests from truck manu-
facturers, these companies taking
practically all of the available space
in the buildings in New York and the
Windy city, aside from space for ac-
cessories and parts.
The New York show will be from
January 8 to 10 for passenger cars
and acce ssories at the Grand Central
Palace, with motor trucks and acces-
sories at the Sth Coast Artillery
armory. at 14th street, which was the
only building available for a COM
plete truck showing.
The Chicago dates are from Janu-
airy "a to 81, with cars and access
sories at the Coliseum and 1st Regi-
ment armory' and the motor truck 8
and accessories at the Drexel Ira
vilion.
The motor truck show in New York
will be somewhat in the nature of a
transportation exhibit. with trans
portation conferences, lectures, mov-
ing pictures of truck operations and
other things Of interest to the truck
dealer and user Practically all of
the leading passenger car and motor
truck makers in the country will be
represented at the two shows.

Promotion of Crowder Heuten-
ant general upon

tirement from the Army brought into
notice many events which. although
of paramount Importance in the earli-
er days of the war. are liable to be
forgotten
The government had made no prepa-
ration for the approaching conflict:
the Germans were figuring that with
the tonnage available and no troops
trained they could afford to treat as
negligible the forces of the United
States. could continue their ruthless
submarine warfare which they oeileV-
ed would starve England into terms
and in these calculations they were
almost right.
It became. therefore. necessary to
call the man power Of the united
states to arms. that is, If they could
find the arms; to set in motion the
rusty and out-of-date organization OF
the war Department, to procure
equipment and supplies and get down
to the business Of making war;
The government had no dennite

dren the advantages which they believe
they ought to have. They see many of

returning to their occupations and large

II at they, too. can al this juncture earn
far greater pay than the government is
paying them
The temptation to the cream men,
(for that Is the type that business Is
seeking) to leave the service Is very
great; and the word comes daily of at
tractive offers to able men to enter the
commercial life. Another feature that
tends to drive good officers from the
Army is the fact that the war Is over

The Stiness Bill .
and Enlisted Men

Even more can be said in favor of a lib
eral advance Of pay for some of the en-
listed men than for that Of officers, but
many persons are inclined to agree with
Secretary of War Bakers view that
pay should not be made the induce
ment for Army recruiting.
Roughly speaking, the Army's en-
listed men may be divided into two
classes: Those who are in for a short
period Of enlistment and those who
are making business OF soldering.
Most of the older men are non COM
missioned officers or have little am
bition or character; otherwise they
would have gained the promotion.
Line officers are unanimous in praise
of the reliable n-commissioned Of
fcer. They come daily in personal con-
help make good command or can
mar any command in spite Of ito
line officers. Most Of these men have
dependents and dime worth a nickel
n n their aen,.pa pay is not enough to meet
which have resulted in the deprecia-
tion of money.
With the short-term men this is al
together different. When any able
bodied POD poa,,5a. man. sound enough to make
earn from three to ten dollars a day
the government cannot compete on a
pay basis with commercial life for
his service. 1t must add some con-
sideration other than money. No man
with dependents and able to work
can afford to enlist in the Army;
and. II he should attempt it, ought to
be rejected If 1t Is known; and to be
dismissed If he has concealed the fact
Since the government provides the
enlisted man with food, lodging and
clothing, he needs only spending
money while he Is in the Army. II
he has more money, in ninety-nine
cases in the hundred it means much
more money spent and habit Of un-
thrift established.
Secretary Baker contends that the
Army should be made a great train
ing school for the enlisted men: that
there is time enough after military
duty to devote to education. That edu-
cation may be along lines for which
the youth is best fitted. The training
may be academic; 1t may be purely
vocational. This war has demonstrated ed
beyond doubt that all callings are
necessary to a well balanced army
Carpentry. wood-sawing. electric
working, radio, elementary engineer
ing, Photography and about every
calling that can be thought Of
except making clothes for pacifists
are useful in an army. The
government would require a lot OF
money to make this instruction i'm
pressive; but 1t would be money that
would give the enlisted men and the
country at large some return for
the amount expended, which is far
more than can be said Of a plan to
