/. v. HILL TO QUIT
GREAT NORTHERN
Railroad Chairman to Devote
Time to Family and Per-
SOnal Interests.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated HreSS.
ST. PAUL, october 10.-Louis w. Hill,
chairman of the board of the Great
Northern Railway since 1912, will pre-
sent his resignation to the directors Of
the road at their annual meeting here
today.
Mr.. Hill, son of James ]. Hill, founder
of the Great Northern, said last night
that after SO years Of continuous serv-
ice with the road he was ready to retire
and devote his time mostly to his per-
sonal interests and those of his family.
What action the directors will take
on his resignation could not be learned,
but it was reported that it was unlikely
any one else would be elected to the
Craftsmanship.
AS a large stakeholder in the Great
Northern, Mr.. Hill will continue to take
an active interest in the affairs OF the
road, but he will not be burdened with
the responsibilities of board chairman
Mr.. Hill started work as billing clerk
with the Great Northern in 1893 after
his graduation from Yale University. In
1898 he became assistant to the presi-
dent and in 1907 he succeeded his
father, "the empire builder" as presi-
dent
He became chairman of the board
in 1912 when Carl Gray, now president
of the Union Pacific, was made presi-
dent of the Great Northern. Mr.. Gray
left the Great Northern in 1914 and
Mr.. Hill again became president as well
as chairman of the board. Ralph Budd
has been president Of the Great North
ern since 1919.
Louis w. Hill, jr, son of the retiring
chairman. now is learning the railroad
business "from the ground up" He is
being groomed for an executive position.

to play two movements Of a Schu-
mann concerto with his orchestra,
the air program becomes even more
important.
It seems to me that WEAF on
the night of the broadcast, took un-
usual care in securing the best
broadcasting results. This care re-
suited in, according to my opinion,
a better reception for piano and
orchestra than we have been hav-
ing for some time.
OF course, I know that the con-
ductor has given much study to Sc
cure the best way in putting over
a symphony concert over the air.
Gabrilowitsch gave me the i'm
preston that he considers his air
audience no different from a visible
audience in the theater. In other
words, he is able to make himself
intimate with his air audience.
He told us the other night that
this was his first appearance on
the air and it was his aim TO bring
to his air audience the most BEAU
tiful of concerto composition such
as Schumann wrote.
GabriloWitsch said that he was
happy to increase the size of his
audience by the use of the radio.

care in conducting for his air con-
cert as he does on his regular
concerts in the music halls and
theaters.
I want to go on record saving
that I think GabriloWitsch and the
Detroit Symphony gave us an in
teresting air concert filed with such
finely chosen works that the air
audience will welcome the return of
this group.
In other words, this broadcast
impressed me as being mora like
a real concert than we have had for
long time.
I have not been satisfied with
some OF the choral work that has
been coming over the air. So much
OF 1t seems to lack competent direc-
ton. The Mendelssohn Glee Club
this week seemed to have mastered
some OF these defects that choral
groups have fallen into lately.

U. S. Women Start Cam

BIZ UEtted PTeSs
NEW YORK, Dec. 13.-After a
busy summer on the hemline front,
the women Of America have moved
into the winter campaign on this
troublesome matter of skirts. The
long and short of it seems to be a
determination to throw of the yoke
Of foreign dictatorship in styles.
Some 800 women Clamored for
chances to express opinions pro and
con at Thursdays debate, sponsored
by the New York State Federation
Of Women's Clubs.
The results we're a bit difficult to
analyze, for the engagement was
brisk and without a decisive fin
ssh. While a great many women OBJ
ject to being meal tickets to the
foreign style monger," the new long
skirts have found favor with more
than a few.
It appeared today that the real
short skirts had been put definitely
out Of consideration. Knees no
longer must be seen, except in bath
ing suits.
Also, skirts dragging on the
ground can not be tolerated. The
emphasis rests now upon a happy
medium" a sort of compromise,
which will not interfere with what
the short skirt proponents like to
refer to as our new freedom
The federation debate attracted a
representative gathering. There were
delegates from California. Texas,
Iowa and five foreign countries.

DR. CALDWELL loved people.
~ He studied the habits Of his
patients and tried to improve
their ways Of living. His obser-
vations over a long period OF
time convinced him many people
were running their health by a
careless choice Of laxatives. Then
he determined to write a pre-
scription which would get at the
cause of constipation and correct
it quickly and safely.
How successful his efforts were

prescription he wrote back in

WOlfe's First Story
IAN Angel on the Porch" Appears in
the August Scribner's

Thomas Wolfe, one of the
stars of the Carolina Playmakers
nine years ago, appears in the
August Scribner's with his first
published rtstory, "An Angel
on the Porch" His biographical
sketch in the back of the maga-
zine contains the announcement
that a novel of his, Look Home
ward, Angel" is soon to come
off the press.
One sentence in the sketch
reads as follows: after attend
ing a small Southern college he
went to Harvard and worked
with George Pierce Baker in the
al Workshop Small Southern
college! Such is fame. A commit
tee for indignant protest, COM
posed of President Chase, Robert
B. House, E. G.. Branson, and all
the deans, ought to be des-
patched to New York at once to
call Scribner's to book. Frederick
H. Koch, being out in California,
can hardly be called home to go
along with the committee, but
he can send a scorching letter.
that is, if he recovers from the
shock after reading the sketch.
Wolfe, discovered, stimulated,
trained, and introduced by the
Playmakers-and now the
nursery of his talent is thus
casually dismissed without a
name! And in Scribner's, too,
