Expects to Go Up.

By Desire to Measure Ter

Major R. w. Schroeder, official test

record at Dayton, Ohio, said yesterday

10000 feet within the next few months.
"The question of fuel is the only linn

Major Schroeder has just been re-
leased from the hospital and came here
yesterday to attend the Aeronautical
Show. Still suffering from his thrill
ing experience, Major Schroeder told a
dramatic story Of his fight against a
220-mile- hour gale almost seven
miles above the ground in temper
ature Of Ct below zero.
For four days after the flight he lay
in the hospital, his eyes frozen. "The
specialist who attended me-" he said,
put cracked ice on the outside Of
my eyelids and gradually thawed them
out 1t was impossible, though. to keep
my eyeballs still, and as they moved
about they ground the ice inside the
lids, like the crunching of cinders"
After four days of this intense agony
his eyes opened and, although still
weak, are practically unimpaired. One
of the valves of his heart refuses to
function properly yet as direct re-
suit Of the sudden change from pres
sure of three pounds to fourteen
pounds to the square inch, caused by
his five-mile fall.

Reddy hunted all night. He hunted
until broad daylight. Then he started
for his home in the Old Pasture. His
way led him near that old hole of
Grandfather Chuck's and the fallen
tree-trunk near the bramble-tangle.
The mystery of Peter Rabbits escape
still bothered Reddy, and he went over
to have another look at Grandfather
Chuck's hole under the old stump. AS
he sat looking at It something hit him
on the head. 1t was pine cone. He
looked up to see where 1t had como
from. There. peering down from a
limb directly over his head, was the
grinning face Of Chatterer the Red
Squirrel.
Reddy started to snarl and then
thought better Of 1t. Instead he grinned
back at Chatterer. "Hello, Chatterer!
said he. "You gave me start.
might have known where that cone
came from. What's the news over here
in the Green Forest?"
Chatterer's sharp eyes twinkled mis-
chievously. "Hello, Reddy," said he.
'eYou seem to be very much interested
In Grandfather Ohuek's old hole.-
Don't you know that no one has lived
there for ever and ever 50 long7"
"Of course, Chatterer. OF course."

ssLa Forza del Desfino"
Presented in Evening

Thomas Chalmers sang the Dog for
the first time in Albert VOLTS
"L'Oiseau Bleu" at the special matinee
Of that opera at the Metropolitan yes
terday. Mr.. Chalmers's enactment was
admirable in every way, and his final
scene informed with a poignant sense
Of pathos. The rest of the cast was as
usual, with Mines. Delaunois and Ellis
as the children, and the composer in
the conductors stand.
The evening opera was "La Fora
del Destino," sung to huge and vo.
clferous assemblage. Mr.. Caruso was
in excellent voice, as was Miss Ponselle
and Mr.. Mardones. Nine. Jeanne Cor
don is the most effective singer who
has yet tackled the difficult part of
Preziosilla, and Mr.. Chalmers, as the
stupid monk, Father Melitone, pre-
sents veritable chef d'euyre in the
buffo art. Mr.. Papi conducted with

'Wagnerian Program Given
Mr.. Damrosch Delights Audi
ence at Carnegie Hall Concert

Since "Parsifal" is the only Wagner
ian opera that has as yet found it's
way back to the local stage, it is a
pleasure to take advantage Of the op-
portunities offered by orchestral con-
certs to hear bits of the Ring" "Tris-
tan und Isolde" "Tannhauser" and the
others. Mr.. Damrosch provided such
an opportunity yesterday afternoon,
when a generous Wagner program was
played by the Symphony Society at
Carnegie Hall.
The overture to "Rienzi," the prelude
to "Lohengrin," portions of Tristan
"the Mastersingers." "Parsifal" and
"Tannhauser" were Among the num-
bers, with the Ring" represented by
"Siegfried's Rhine Journey" from
"Goetterdaemmerung" and the "Ride
of the Valkyries" from "Die Walkuere."
Mr.. Gustave Tinlot's beautiful play
ing of the violin solo in the "Good
Friday Spell" music from "Parsifal"
added much to the pleasure Of de-
lightful afternoon.

Symphony Orchestra
Prices To Be Advanced
New York Organization Plans
Increase Because of High
Cost of Production

The New York Symphony Orchestra
will advance its prices so per cent for
single admission tickets and 25 per
cent for subscription seats, it was
made known yesterday.
This advance, it was said by George
Engles, manager of the New York
Symphony Society, was not wholly as
a result Of what he believed to be an
impending new schedule of wages that
must be paid to musicians in the or
chestra, but is the result of advance s
in the cost of every department thai
has to do with the staging of the con-
certs by the great orchestra.
He admitted that it was probabls
that the proposed demands of the
Musical Mutual Protective Union for
higher wages for musicians in the or
chestra at the Metropolitan Opera
House would spread to all branches OF
high class music in the city, and said
it was expected in his organization
that a new schedule of pay would be
S. E. MacMillen, manager Of the New
Symphony Orchestra, said:
1--WE have done nothing as yet with
regard to increasing the pay of our
musicians, and we shall do nothing
until the matter is taken UP with US
formally. l suppose the unions will
see fit to consult with US, however, and
talk over the matter of how we are 10
meet added expenses"
He said that there was a mistaken
idea among a great many persons who
believed that the scale of pay for
musicians in symphony orchestras and
opera orchestras was set and fixed and
did not vary.
Different men are paid different
wages" he said, commensurate with
their own personal circumstances and
the work they do"

Reddy Fox sat staring at Grand
father Chuck's old hole under the
stump Of tree in the Green Forest
Peter Rabbit had been there; Reddy
was sure Of that. But when had Peter
been there? Had it been before or
since Reddy had driven Peter and Mrs.
Peter out Of the bramble- tangle into
the fallen hollow tres-trunk7 Reddy
didn't see how 1t could have been
since, because for the life Of him he
couldn't see how Peter could have
reached that hole without being seen
by Mrs. Reddy or himself. At last
he gave up and trotted away, but all
