In considering future building OPP
erations, why not figure on more
extensive Use of brick? WeN IissrS
two excellent brick plants and the
cost is not so much greater. Then.
the matter of heating and insurance
will cut quite figure. A brick
house does not have TO be everlast-
ingly painted and will outlast the
frame ar wooden building by many
years. The chief cause of fire in
the United States is wood houses.
That is why our insurance is so
high. We pay the difference be-
tween brick and wood house de-
struction. -

New York Philharmonic Orchestra.

The fourth concert of T. Arthur
Smiths ten-star series at the Ma
tional Theater yesterday afternoon
marked the return after an absence
of several years of the New YORK
Philharmonic Orchestra, josef Stran-
sky. conductor.
There was no extra soloist. but so
excellent was the playing of this or
ganization and so interesting the in
terpretations of Mr.. Stransky that an
entire afternoon Of pure orchestra
music was not in the least monoto-
nous.
The greater part Of the program
was given over to the modern works
of Rachmaninoff and Debussy, all
though the older school. perhaps. was
ment. when both leader and members
of the orchestra were compelled to
bow in recognition of the applause
following the 'Bacchanale" from
Wagner's 'Tannhauser."
The concert opened with Dvorak's
Overture, Carnival. OPP. 92," followed
imm ediately By two descriptive noe
turns of Debussy. Clouds and
Festivals" each so thoroughly De-
busy in character as to make the
printed program unnecessary to de-
termine who was the composer.
Any Rachmaninoff number is es-
pecially interesting these days be-
cause we have become SO well ac-
quainted with Rachmaninoff himself.
No better compliment could be given
Mr. Stransky's corps of musicians
than to say that, judging from the
composers interpretations of his own
works heard in Washington recently,
they have become thoroughly imbued
with Rachmaninoff's temperament and
moods when playing his music. The
selection chosen was symphony, No.
2, in E Minor. OPP. 81"
Mr. Stransky ranks among the best
leaders of orchestras. By having his
coworkers thoroughly responsive to
his baton he produces crescendos
and diminuendos as by one hand and
mind which is so essential to the sat
isfactory rendition of concerted
music.

German ruler.
Former Emperor William has trans
ferred most of his wood-cutting ac-

home is being built. Dressed in a
green hunting suit, he was seen yes
