A certain discretion marked the
printed programme OF the concert of the
Philadelphia Orchestra, the seventh oi
its series. IN Carnegie Han last evrhlns.
The legend was Brahms Requiem.
It used to be called "a German
Requiem" But since the work Is ~ NO
way connected with the German liturgy
but rather with the inevitable reflections
Of man on death, the nationaliam ot its
original title may be pardoned- bfahlns
is said 10 have been moved especially
toward its composition by sorrow Tor the
death Of his mother
At any rate lie left US one of the most
solemn and affecting of an requiem
dirges. The work has not been heard
too often here. II was first given BY the
German Liederlkranz in 1875. but -
first public performance was that of the
Oratorio Society III 1877. II was pre-
sented by the New York Chorus. Theo-
dore Thomas conductor, in 1854. ana ny
the Oratorio Society in 1891 and 1908.
The oratorio and Symphony societies
combined gave a Brahms festival m
1912 and this requiem was sung AZ the
final concert on March 30
1t had not been heard since that time
till last evening, when large audience
listened to il with profound Interest.
The PHILADELPHIA Orchestra chorus,
trained BY stephen Townsend, was
brought over for the concert, and dis
closed itself as a competent organiza-
ton. The sopranos were not ideal IN
tone quality. but they held their place
in the balance of sound. The choir as
a whole sang with much elasticity, with
well planned phrasing. good enunciation
and a large command Of light and
shade.
There are only two solo parts IN the
composition. and these were in the COM
petent hands OF Nine. Florence Hinke
and Reinald Werrenrath. The orches-
ira, like the chorus. had been well re-
hearsed. and discharged it's duties with
excellent results. Mr.. Stokowski. who
had been seen here before as a choral
conductor. showed : complete knowl-
edge Of the score and graphic and ef-
fective system of directing

Study Dante Now.
The 6OOth Anniversary of His Death
Occurs Next Autumn.

TO THE NEW YoRK HERALD, In view
Of the 600th anniversary OF Dante's
death, which will be observed next au-
tumn. would 1t not be proper and bene-
nclal to introduce into the high schools
the study Of portions Of the Divine Com
edy?
There are cantos and episodes from
this poem which are complete in form
and content. and can therefore be used
without knowledge Of the whole work.
These can be made to serve as models
of literary expression.
No writer has ever equalled Dante in
power and conciseness. His descriptions
are SO striking as never to be forgotten
and his style has the cogency and terse-
ness OF a demonstration in Euclid.
The students in the high schools should
be introduced to the best literature, and
where can anything be found to COM
pare with the episodes OF Paolo and
Francesca, the Imprisonment and death
of Ugolino and his children and the last
voyage OF Ulysses. or the description Of
the Terrestrial Paradise, to mention no
others?
Dante can be made an intellectual and
moral tonic for the present time. Fur
thermore. his writings are invested with
the unique personality Of the great Flor
entine himself, and there is back Of it
all the most interesting and instructive
period OF the worlds history, q period
OF large visions and patient work for
their realization, 1t is the age Of the
Crusaders. the cathedral builders and
the troubadours. Organized society was
capable OF great undertakings then, as
was the Individual who dedicated his
life to the service of his lady-the en-
bodiment of an ideal. The time is OPP
perfume to consider the great poem, the
great poet and the great age.
There are a number of good transla-
tions of the commedia: in verse, Cary's,
Longfellows and Johnson's may be men
toned; while in prose, Tozer's is per-
haps the most satisfactory for the gen
eral reader. w. e. BREAzEALE,
Secretary Of the Dante Society of New
Brunswick. N. j.

Restaurant Prices.
An Investigator Finds Portions Cut
but Not Rates.

To TIE NEW York HERALD: Isn't It
time for restaurants which have been
announcing cut rates to begin to reduce
their prices? They take off an occa-
sional five cents here and there. but the
fact remains that TO get any kind of
a meal you must pay more in most of
these places.
For instance, in a Forty-second street
restaurant a very light lunch--butter
cakes. 4 cup of coffee and baked ap-
pie with tiny pitcher Of thin cream
costs 40 cents. At one time they served
two butter cakes, tea biscuit or bread
with the meats now you must pay
10 cents for any order Of bread. An
order OF butter cakes used to be three
for five cents; now they are two for
10 cents, and l suppose contain about
one cents worth Of material. c. S.

Untaxing Service Men.
An Objection to Giving a Bonus in
tho Shape OF Exemption.

TO THE NEW YORK HERALD: The pro-
posal of Thomas II. Gibson Of Buffalo
as to a Eve year tax exemption for ex-
service men strikes me as about the
least feasible and most unfair sugges-
tion yet made.
MY income is rather large for an ex-
buck private, so ! can scarcely be ac-
cused of prejudice in saying that this
would be rather inverted benefit, as
II would give each man less in proper
t,on to his needs. For instance. TO the
man with a $4,000 income there would
bo an annual gift Of some hundreds Of
dollars, while the disabled SIS a week
watchman or clerk would get nothing.
''To him that hath" &C., IS an excel
lent quotation, but In this case : seems
10 me to be directly at variance with
the best interest Of the majority.

The blue in lovely Irish eyes.

And on the smoky autumn days

But late released from ice and snow ;
Blue sails that crowd a foreign sea
Enthrall me as the hot tides flow.

Starting Up House Building.

Starting Up House Building.
III Chicago the construction indus
try IS going TO be revived, the hous-
ing shortage is going to be mitigated
and rents are going to come down, be-
cause the building trade there is tack
ling the problem in the right way,
which is to get all costs of production
down. the biggest Of which is inflated
labor. Chicago wages are to be cut,
as materials and supplies have been
cut, 20 per cent
When the $4,000 house Of pre-
war DAYS now takes $4,000 of labor
charges alone TO build, t Is foolish
and futile to try to get back to normal
production costs and normal rents BY
chopping something off the price OF
shingles and nails and letting it 90 at
that. Cutting lumber alone viii
not do it. Cutting other materials,
but letting labor costs stand, Will
not do it.
When the ordinary house which
cost 10 build $4,000 before the war
recently has been costing $4,000,
the couple Of thousand dollars Of lum-
Der don't make much Of a mark as
against the $4,000 Of labor charges.
The few hundred dollars Of brick and
mortar and plaster don't offer much
chance Of saving. as against the
$4,000 of labor charges. The several
hundred dollars Of plumbing, Of heat
ing plant Of glazing, don't count ma
terially, as against the $4,000 Of
direct labor.
a cut of 20 per cent. in the
price of every single material thing
going into that $4,000 house would
take off only $4,000, leaving the cost
Of the former $4,000 house still
So3. 600. A cut Of clean one bird
in the whole item Of $4,000 for ma
terlals would take OF only S3,300
leaving the cost Of the former
$4,000 house still S217o0 \ wage
cut Of 90 per cent. in the cost would
slice off $1,000
But the necessary cost savings de-
mand something more than merely
price cuts and wage cuts. They de-
mand Il square days work from
every man on the job. Bricklayers
are getting perhaps twice the wage
they were getting before the war, but
because they lay only half the bricks
they laid before the war it costs
now to lay the bricks four times as
much as before the war; The same
thing Is true Of the carpenter, the
painter, the plasterer and the others.
APO per cent. reduction in abnormal
wages can take $1,000 off the cost
OF building the former $4,000 house,
which Il now up 70 $4,000 An in
creased efficiency of 90 per cent. by
the laborer can take off another
$4,000. This would make It $4,000.
A % per cent. cut In prices Of all
materials used would add another
saving Of $4,000, making it $4,000 in
all. a thirty per cent. cut IN ma
terials will make 1t S10.500 4 forty
per cent. cut will make 1t $4,000
Under al those cost reductions
materials and supplies would be
virtually back to normal. Wages still
would be very much above normal.
But building would start up again
with q rush.
on the other hand, no matter how
the prices Of materials are slaslled,
there viii be and can be no building
boom and no worth while building
revival 50 long as the big costs, the
labor costs. block the way.
