"FROCKS OF COTTON
WHEN WINDS BLOW?
HEVERI" SAY WOMEN
Patriotism a Fine Sentiment,
But Think of Those Cold,
Cold Blizzards Coming
This Way.
Philadelphia women, unlike, their South
ern sisters, nro apparently not malting
any plans to substltuto cotton garments
for their silk nnd woolen winter raiment,
In order to relieve the tenseness of tho
cotton situation.
Down South tho women nnd girls have
formed leagues which are advocating tho
wearing of cotton this winter. Miss Gene
vieve Clark, daughterof tho Speaker,
Jia3 announced her Intention of having
only cotton clothing In her wardrobe, and
many of tho Congressional womon hnvo
followed her example. According to these
enthusiasts, frocks of cotton can be made
to appear Just as Bmart as silk or wool.
"Philadelphia women are not patriotic
enough to go In for anything like that,"
Bald tho manngcr of a cotton goods de
partment of a big store today.
But a woman In tho vicinity enmo to
.the defense of her sex Immediately.
"It Isn't a case of patriotism," said
tho, "It's one of good sound common
sense. Remember tho blizzard we had
hero last winter, well, fancy wearing a
cotton frock through that.
All the men who are In charge of the
cotton goods dcpaitmcnts of the Inrgo
ihops declare" that not only has the salo
of cotton dress goods not Increased, but
It has actually decreased.
"I have Just come back from tho Fall
nlver cotton mills," Bald ono buyer, "nnd
there I found two-thirds of tho mill
hands Idle. There's no demand and they
have nothing to do.
Another declared thnt women were buy
In? as little Bilk nnd wool as cotton.
"You're going to see more women wear
ing their last year's clothes this season
than ever before. The financial situa
tion is bad, and tho women nro feeling it
as vvell as tho lest of us. By tho wny,
)ou can nlways gauge conditions by the
purchases women make.$ When things
are flourishing you'll always find that
the women are buying more c!othc3 than
they actually need or than they ordi
narily buy, but when times nre hard tho
woman's clothing department Is the first
to feel It"
' Cotton is more than BO per cent, cheaper
than silk or wool, but, according to the
sponsors of the "wear-cotton" movement,
It Isn't necessary to look llko Bcdelia in
calico nnd rags for tho sake of the cot
ton growers. Some cotton fabrics, they
declare, aro made which rival In beauty
of design and durability tho other more
expcnslvo materials and, with a little
forethought and Judgment In selecting,
there's no reason, they say, why a woman
Ehould not look Just ns stylish in a cot
ton frock, at 23 cents a yard ns In a silk
one at $2.50 a yard.

ENGINEERS OPPOSE LICENSE
Proposed Bill Shown to Be in Dis
favor Generally,
The proposed bill to license civil, me
chanical, electrical, mining and other en
gineers Is disapproved, almost without ex
ception, by officials of prominent engi
neering societies and the engineers them
selves. The members of the Engineers'
Commission appointed by Governor Tener
will report to him in the near future on
the subject.
Engineers expressed their opinions of
the proposed bill at a meeting of the com
mission held In the Engineers' Club yes
terday. R. D. Morris, ex-president of the
American Institute of Mining Engineers,
declared he was opposed strongly to any
legislation of the kind suggested,
"Such a law would be derogatory to the
dignity of engineers," he said. "Require
professional engineers to be licensed nnd
the result will be a horde of Incompetents.
Resides, it will Injure many good men who
are self-educated." Prof. Edgar Marburg,
of the University of Pennsylvania, nnd
Prof. J. W. Stewart, Lehigh University,
also attended the meeting and expressed
their disapproval of the proposed license
bill.

The local season of grand opera will

esting but neglected work, "Martha." Al
though the opera has never lacked in
appeal, and has been a thoroughgoing

professional companies, and Is now chiefly

Plans of the Metropolitan Opera Co.
Announcement of the plnns of the
Metropolitan Opera Company Is of more
than ordinary interest to Phlladelphlans
this year, owing to tho suspension of the
local season, and the consequent de
pendence upon the Xew York organiza
tion for much of tho year's operatic
pleasure.
Unaffected by the war. the company Is
"enabled to adhere to Its original plans,
both ns to artists and repertoire." Two
novelties of speclnl interest are promised.
Tho "first time on any stage" of Maestro
Umberto Giordano's "Mme. Sans-Geno."
after the familiar Sardou-Moreau play,
will come In tho early half of the season.
For a Russian novelty tho company an
nounces "Prince Igor," by Borodlne,
heard and mucli applauded In London
last summer.
In the roster of the company there are
It new nanus, and. happily, most of the
old.
Boston Symphony Season Opening
At the very moment when the Phila
delphia Orchestra wa3 bowing to the ap
plause of Its enthusiastic audience, the
Boston Symphony was receiving a wel
come, which, according to the Boston
critics, was unrivaled in memory. That
tho enthusiasm was Justified can be seen
from the reviews of tho Friday after
noon program. H. T. P , in the Transcript,
attributes to Doctor Muck powers even
more subtle and skill more masterful
than he lvns hod heretofore. And the
playing of the band In the "Eroica"
evokes the same critic's warmest praise.
Philadelphluns will look eagerly for such
a marvel as a greater Boston Symphony
must be.

! slsts of four oysters mixed with Juice of

' Shrewberry oysters are arriving from

OFFICIALS TO CO-OPERATE
The Rev. A. J. Ferry Speaks on Be
half of Presbytery.
"If Sunday schools arc to do their
greatest good and their progress Is to
be given full credit In the synod and
general assembly of the Presbyterian
Church, it is essential that the officials
exert greater efforts for co-operation
with tho Sunday School Committee of
tin1 Philadelphia Presbytery."
This statement was made by the Rev.
Asa J. Ferry, chairman of the Sunday
School Committee of the Presbytery of
Philadelphia, at a meeting of the Super
intendents' Association In Trinity Church,
Kensington, last night. He urged that
the oinclals adopt methods that will as
sure general co-operation with tho com
mittee and Presbytery.

in attendance, and. besides the talk by
Rev. Mr. Ferry, there were speeches by
President Cheesman A. Herrlck, of
Glrard College, and by the Rev. James
Ramsey Swain, pastor of the Woodland
Church. Mr. Swain also spoke of tho
need of greater co-operation Tho ad
dresses seemed to indicate that tho lack
of co-operation was due largely to in
