Walter Damrosch, at the head Of the
New York symphony Society, gave one
OF the most diverse and interesting pro-
grams of the orchestral season thus far
IN Philadelphia at the Academy Of
Music last evening; Florence Easton,
soprano of the Metropolitan Opera
Company, was the soloist and divided
honors with the orchestra, which did
some excellent playing.
The organization shows constant i'm
provement in its tone quality and its
ensemble, and last evening there was
little to be desired in these respects.
There were a few times in the early
part of the program where the brass
was not strictly in tune with the rest
of the orchestra, and Mr.. Damrosch
here and there showed tendency to
overemphasize his contrasts in dynamics
and tempo, especially in the overture.
Instead of a symphony Mr.. Damrosch
put Charpentier's Impressions of
Italy" on the program. The compost
tion has been played number Of times
in the past by our own orchestra and
is. therefore. familiar to Philadelphians.
Tt is one of the best examples of legiti-
mate descriptive music, which "de-
scribes" and yet does not overstep the
boundaries Of the art. The feature of
the performance was the fine viola play

numbers ended with the prelude to Acts

which were well played and as well re-

Florence Easron is perhaps better
known here as an opera singer than
concert artist, but although both her
numbers last evening were operatic,
she showed herself to be an excellent
concert singer and one who does not

slightly better advantage in the more
melodious Massenet selection, she sang

The conference Of the New York Ke-
hillah last Sunday was far from sue
cessful in respect to attendance and
accomplishment. Although it was the
yearly Kehillah meeting one could not
tell whether the delegates came to eel
citrate or to mourn. The community
leaders themselves presented rather
gloomy reports with charges Of insult
ficient support by the Jewish masses.
For the existence Of this condition the
conference itself gave the best explain
alton. The Kehillah delegates were
themselves divided into three parties,
each having its distinct point Of view
Of the work Of the organization. Mr..
Marshall and all the other reformed
Jews with him held that it should be
the sole function Of the Kehillah to
provide educational facilities for the
Jewish children. The Orthodox dele
gates were Of the opinion that the Ke-
hillah must also take upon itself the
administration and solution Of Kash-
ruth problems, and similar Jewish I'M
dertakings. Between these two ele-
ments was found the moderately con-
sentative class who sought to make
the Kehillah the centre Of all Jewish
enterprises and activities. Since there
is lack Of unity in purpose and enthus-
iasm, the indifference Of the masses
to the Kehillah is hardly surprising.
By far the strongest appeal for the
Kehillah was made by Mr.. Marshall,
but meanwhile his plea has fallen
upon deaf ears. The only practical ac-
complishment Of the meeting was the
appointment Of committee Of seven
teen which should call n second con-
ference in about three weeks and
which ought to be ready at that time
to propose a definite practical pro-
gram for future work. This commit
tee must also prepare plans for the
chairman Of this committee is Mr..
Bernard Semel.

The report from San Reno that
England has been definitely assigned
the mandate over Palestine and that
n Jewish homeland i,as become an in
tegral part Of the mandate, became
the source Of great joy in all Jewish
circles in New York. The news spread
throughout New York sometime dur
ing Sunday afternoon, and almost i'm
mediately there were Jewish demon
strations with music and dancing in
the streets Of New York, lasting till
Monday morning. On Monday the
demonstrations were renewed in all
Zionist districts, and there are rumors
that stupendous Jewish demonsta-
ton is being planned in New York, in
order to celebrate with appropriate
festivity the official recognition Of 4
Jewish National Homeland in Pales-
tine.
Next Thursday mass meeting ar
ranged by the Poale Zion will be held
in Cooper Union. Originally the meet
ing was called for the purpose Of pro-
testing against the pogroms in Pales-
tine. Now, however, after the decision
Of San Reno, the Palestine outrages
can no longer be the only subjects to
be discussed at this meeting. OF
course, much regret and condemnation
for these unfortunate occurrences will
be expressed but one must feel that che
Jewish blood was not shed totally in
vain.

see what monkeys look like. l expect
they are dreadful or the remembrance
of them could not affect a tough old
sinner like the coon as it does.'
The monkeys cage was very large,
and was fitted UP with all sorts of
contrivances for exercise. There were
dozen or more monkeys Of all sorts
and sizes tn it, and they were always
one OF the greatest attractions of the
whole show and the crowds Of people
In front Of it were enormous
Billy had no difficulty in locating it
and was very soon watching the
antics of the monkeys with interest.
He decided that they were the
strangest looking animals and about
the most ugly he had ever seen, but
he couldn't make UP his mind why II
was the coon had seemed to hate
them so much and at the same time
to be so afraid OF them
He would learn pretty soon.
Like everybody else, Billy soon
found himself laughing with all his
might at the funny things the mon
keys were doing. They never seemed
to stop a minute, and around and
around they went, always cutting up
some new caper, doing something
that nobody expected.

dog laugh" said giggling Billy, using
his favorite expression.

The crowd Of onlookers when they
saw the Teddy Bears feeding Billy
thought it a great joke and laughed
at the comical sight. Billy could hear
them saying that they guessed that
ne was the same goat the big ele-
pnant had put on his back; others
We're telling their friends how he had
jumped at the fat lady. and then
someone said that he believed that
his name must be Billy Whiskers, for
ne mad heard n couple of fine looking
boys tnquiring for a runaway goat by
tnat name. And so it came to pass
That many people were beginning to
talk about him, and he felt that he
already had good friends in the
crowd.
While 1t made him proud to hear
his little masters called fine looking.
for he never doubted but that the two
boys searching for him were Ton, and

him on his guard, for after going thru
SO much to see the circus, he didn't
propose to be stopped yet while.
II he had only known what was in
store for him later, he would have
been glad enough to quit then ana
there.

keys and then go in and watch the
performers" resolved Billy. ut won't

OF men who were drawn together by
common interests. But the club as
we know it today, and from which
have sprung the various community
houses, recreation centers and other
forms of semi private housing, had a
novel origin in a post bellum period
very similar to the one we are living
thru today.
Soon after the battle Of Waterloo,
with the advent of peace. there were
IN London large number Of naval
and military officers who were being
retired on half pay. Finding the in
hated cost Of living too much for
them. they conceived Of the plan of
taking their meals together at one
place, each contributing his share of
the expense. In this way a great
saving was effected and the arrange
ment became SO popular that soon
enough members had been recruited
to establish 1.-THE United Service
Club" on their own premises.

wind that blows nobody any good"

while still Others have actually cut
wages in order to keep running at
all.
The National City bank Of New
York City ventures the same con-
clusion saying:
There is d widespread belief that
wage earners who have had large
advances, in the last five years will
have to make contribution to the
general cause OF lower living costs.
At this time, when everything is I'M
settled and everybody is looking for

About the funniest joke on white
mems avarice that ever happened is
the wealth OF the present day Ameri-
can Indian tribes. No one ever in
tended that they should be wealthy,
says Chamberlain's. Far from 1t.
They were dispossessed of rich
lands In Iowa and Illinois and other
states and sent out to what was then
believed to be godforsaken desert,
where no white man would ever or
could ever live No white American
wanting 1t, that was the proper place
for the red American,
AS result OF this high minded and
far-seeing policy the Indians are to-
day, as a number Of tribes the rich
est people on earth.
The little old Oklahoma desert
that was so nearly worthless that
the white men were all agreed the
red brother might have it has bios
somed out into wealth. Upstairs it
grows cotton ana corn and from
the basement comes coal and faA

covering as large an area as the

What Did Edison Dor

what did Edison do in the war;"
is a question answered by Captain
Lloyd N. Scott, liaison officer In an
official history OF the work OF the
naval consulting board
A whole string Of valuable inven-
lions and devices was evolved by Mr..
Edison himself as head of the naval
consulting board. In fact. Mr. Edison
took the presidency OF the board on
the understanding that he was not
to be bothered by the organization
work. but should be free to employ
his time in working on inventions.
He tackled, the problem OF detecting
submarines by sound and spent
months working on the problem. His
idea was that II device could be
perfected whereby d ship could hear
the sound of a torpedo as soon as
is was fired from q submarine and
then quickly alter It's course, It would
be as affective as destroying the
submarine. At that time listening
devices on moving ships had failed.
largely because they we're towed
astern, where the rush OF water and
the noise Of the ships propelIers In
terfered with other sounds. Mr. Edi-
son constructed q listening device
that projected twenty-feet In front
Of the bow OF the ship. It was found
to work satisfactorily In rough sea
with ship going at its full speed of
fourteen knots.
With this device there would be no
difficulty whatever In hearing tor
pedo more than 1000 yardssaway and
this Is far beyond the effective dis
lance at which torpedo can be
launched from submarine. The noise
from torpedo is very piercing and
peculiarly distinctive. 80 much so
that In the course OF some of Mr..
Edison's experiments at Sag Harbor,
Long Island, where practice t0rpedoes
were launched the telephone con.
nected with the detecting apparatus
could be laid on the deck and the
noise Of the torpedo could be plainly
heard all over the ship. In fact, the
torpedo is the noisiest craft that sails
the sea, and Is unmfstakable.
Suppiementlrg this. Mr.. Edison
turned his attention to the problem
of a ship at sea turning sharply at
right angles to her course. He solved
this by means Of four sea anchors
which could be dropped overheard
at a moments notice. Tests showed
that a ship using these sea anchors
could be swung sharply of her course
at right angles to Il In a renarkabl

The Des Moines Capital says that.
there has been much talk about the
farmers striking and about their
they have been badly hit by the spec
inability to strike, but they have
evidently found a way. There will be
much sympathy with them because
they have been badly hit by the spe-

way. They have right to strike.
