The Lead Call says: The Burlington
commissary department should get ac-
quainted with the advertising depart
ment. On the back of the menus in the
dining cars is beautifully worded des-
cription of the scenic and climatic at
fractions to be found in the Rocky Noun
tain regions of Colorado. That is all
right, but it is strange fact that the
Burlington railroad is not devoting a
part of that good space to saying some
thing about the attractive scenery and
climate in the Black Hills, through
which their line runs-where the native
beauty is unsurpassed and where the
atmosphere is ideal. Besides, the Black
Hills is nearer the population which
clamors for relief from oppressive heat
in summer time. Why not at least have
portion of that splendid advertising
space on the back of those Burlington
dining car menus devoted to the Black
Hills2

New York Trio i'm Recital
Musicians Renew Good impress
sions in Varied Program

The New York Trio, consisting Of
Clarence Adler, piano; Scipione Guidi,
violin, and Cornelius Van Vliet, cello.
gave its first recital of the season last
night at Aeolian Hall. This organiza-
zion had its first hearing here last
year, and its performance last night
renewed the good impression which it
made then. It's members are all sea
soned musicians of high individual at
tainments, who have developed an ad-
rirable unity and sympathy in en-
semble playing. They excel in subtle
and delicate efects-indeed, at times
almost too delicate for the ear to hear
but their playing always is excellent
in balance and polish.
Their program last night was marked
by no excursions into new ways. The
Cesar Franck violin sonata, its only
number of recent date, has been heard
too often Of late to rank as novelty.
1t was played by Adler and Guidi in a
manner which amply justified the re-
hearing. The trio also played the
Beethoven Trio, Opus 81, in 3 fat, and
the Mendelssohn, Opus 66. in c minor.
An imaginative and polished reading
was given of the Beethoven number,
OF especial excellence was the work
CT Mr. Adler at the piano. 1t sug-
gested the finely sensitive chamber
music playing of Harold Bauer which
is no faint praise

Two American Sopranos
Give Recitals i'm City
Nine. Florence Hinkle and
Mime. Helen Stanley Present
Excellent Programs

Seldom does one day bring forth so
much fine singing as that heard yes
terday at the recitals Of two American
sopranos, Nine. Florence Hnklc and
Nine. Helen Stanley. Only week ago
Nine: Hnkle exhibited many fine quail
ties at concert of the Beethoven As
sociation, qualities which for some
time have placed her in the front rank
Of American artists. At her recital
in Aeolian Hall yesterday afternoon
there were further opportunities to
enjoy the beauty of her voice and to
admire the high order of her attain
ments. Printed leaflets provided her
hearers with the words Of the songs
on her program, but as an aid to un-
derstanding they were not needed, for
Nine. Hinkle's enunciation in Italian,
French, German and English was clar-
ity itself. The purity of her voice
and style has long been familiar. Yes
terday there was an added warmth IN
her tones, vivacity in her interpre-
tations, which enhanced the beauty of
her singing Her program included
songs by Cesti, Brahms, Orsini, Four
drain, Deems Taylor, Richard Hageman
and other composers.
Equally distinguished singing was
done in the evening at Carnegie Hall
by Nine. Stanley. In her case, too, the
leaflets were superhuous but just
fable, in that the English text per-
mitted a greater enjoyment of a group
of scandinavian songs sung in Swed
ish. Nine. Stanley's voice, beautiful
in quality, never was heard to better
advantage. She is skilled in the tech
mic of her art, gifted and sympathetic
as an Interpreter. Her program
ranged from the Tnvocazione di Orfco,
from Jacopo Peri's musicdrama 'Euri-
dice" composed in 1900 in honor OF
the festivities for the marriage of
Henry " and Marie de Medici, to
songs by Chausson, Poldowski, Cyril
Scott and other modern composers.

Il igious Instruction
In Schools Attacked
Opponents of Plan Appear at
Hearing Before Education
Board Committee

The recently revived question Of
whether public school pupils of New
York City should receive an hour of
religious instruction during school
time each week was the subject Of de
bate last night at a public hearing be
fore a committee of the Board of Edu-
cation. A crowd which filled the board
room Of the Hall Of Education, at Fifty
ninth street and Park Avenue, applaud
ed loudly every attack on resolution
presented to the board recently by the
Interdenominational Committee on
Weekday Religious instruction in the
Public Schools, which asked that the
plan be made u part of the citys edu-
cational life.
Chairman George J. Ryan. of the
Board of Education committee, pre-
sided, and at various times had diff
Guilty in holding the meeting to its
purpose, which was to inform the com
mittee, rather than the audience, as to
the wishes of those for or against the
adoption Of the proposal.
Tho resolution was generally as
sailed as proposing to set up COM
hination of church and state in this
country. a theory which the speakers,
all of whom last night represented the
faction in opposition, declared had no
place in American life and was un-
democratic.

Legion Men Assail
Government Policy
Toward Veterans
EX-Service Men Placed i'm
Home for Feeble Minded
Children, Is Complaint;
Separate Care Demanded
Special Dispatch to The Tribune

INDIANAPOLIS, Nov. S.-The Amer-
can Legion must put itself between the
disabled service men and government
incompetence, F. w. Galbraith jr., ma
tonal commander, told department ad-
Jutants from thirty states to-day. At
conference here Mr.. Galbraith also
disapproved of the policy of placing
veterans of the World War in old sol
diers' home along with the elder veter-
ans Of other wars.
The trouble is" said Mr.. Gasbraith,
that the men are regarded as nero
cases and not as human beings. They
appear to be sheaves of papers rather
than the nations heroes. The situation
is pitiful-even frghtful. The condl
tions in the tuberculosis hospitals are
particularly bad, fundamentally, be-
caus, the government did not build any
hospitals for the derelicts coming back
from the war. In Chicago seven for
mer service men were found on a poor
farm, and in another instance former
service men were found in q home for
feeble minded children"
Mr.. Galbraith said that he was trying
to raise S5oo,es9 from "an agency
whose work is Closely related to the
problem of the disabled service men,"
50 the Legion might have the facilities
to carry out its plans.
In discussing the question of send
ing disabled veterans of the World War
to the Federal or old soldiers homes
Mr. Galbraith said:
"When you enter one of these homes
you sign your life away and are sub
jcct to dismissal if you disobey an or
der"
He referred to the National Military
Home at Marion, explaining that the
proposal to send some ropsychiatric
patients there had caused protest from
the Marion people.
81 have been told" he continued,
chat Senator Watson has said that the
people of Marion use this institution as
park and do not wish insane men
running around there. We've got to
consolidate our efforts and decentralize
some of the existing bureaus. We
must start by placing the facts before
the new administration. We must deal
with policies rather than politics.
1--WE don't propose to see these young
men who have been disabled in the
World War mixed ndiscrmnately in
old soldiers homes. We must segre-
gate and separate them
