MATINEE MUSICAL CLUB
Concert Tliia Week Was Ileld "With Great Suo
ceaa at the Roosevelt.
The concert given this week at the Roose
velt by the Matinee Musical Club attracted so
many members and their friends that many
persons were turned away for lack; of accom
modation. The Inadequacy of accommodations

manifest that there will doubtless be renewed
activity In the prpjeot of the clubhouse. Fol
lowing the concert there was a reception.
The program was of great Interest, and Jhere
was an especially warm welcome for the young
barytone, PJotr Wlala, who Is coming Into great
prominence In the local musical world, He

and later was heard In an aria from Verdi's
opera, "Nabucco." The singers wero In ap
propriate costume for the singing of tho arias
pn the program, and there was a charming
duet by Maud Hanson Pettlt and Marie G.
Loughney, with a selection from "Madam But
terfly" as the offering. JpnrSpCneedler John
son was heard In "O beaupeves evanoula'
from Salnt-Baena' "Etlenne Marcel." As Mrs.
Johnson substituted for Mrs. Dunn, compelled
because of Illness to remain away, the aria
came as a surprise. Henry Lukens splendidly
accompanied Mrs. Johnson. Mildred Mioofe
Johnson, a pianist, gave a spirited and able
rendition of a Verdl-Llsst "Rlgoletto" selection.
Emily Stokes Hagar, with the Polonaise from
"Mlgnon" to charm, and Effle Leland Goli,
who played the prelude of "Cyrano," by Walter
pamroach, as a violin solo, completed the en
tertainment. Mary Miller Mount and Emlll

PRACTICAL SCIENCES
jlMio practical application of sclcnco stands
out In nlmost ocry artlclo on tho war. In
deed, except for tho purely descriptive, most
of tho articles dcnl with wnrtaro as a science.
Tho formor Importance of lenders and tho
temperament nnd numbers of men has sunk
Into lnslgnlflcanco beside tho highly de
veloped mechanism of scientific warfare.
Thcro nro two distinct tcndenclos; one to
ward tho development of offonslvo wnrfnro
nnd the other toward nullifying tho results
of this offensive. Thus, seemingly, Bclenco
contradicts tho old text nbout serving two
masters, for the scientists nre today serving,
on tho ono hand, tho gods of hate, nnd on
tho other tho sods of pity. Whllo ono group
devises siege guns to destroy men by bat
talions, nnd Zeppelins to blot out entire
townships, another group experiment with
vaccines nnd surgery to reduco tho mortality
nmong tho wounded and reclaim n greater
percentage of those who nro fortutmto
enough to escapo tho malevolent Ingenuity
of tho gods of hnto.
In splto of their purposes of mercy, thoro
seems a cruel refinement about tho new
French surgicnl nmbulnnces, fitted out ns
complete operating rooms on wheels, which
follow tho nimles almost to tho firing lino,
and picking up tho wounded as fnot ns tho
now devices can produce them, begin to
opcrnto on what Is left, nnd put tho maimed
In condition to return to tho front, to bo
wounded ngaln or, perhaps, killed outright.
Describing tho ndvanco in medical sclcnco
in this war, Gelett Burgess writes (1):
Of tho wounds received only about 8 por
cent, have been fatnl This low percentage
has been attained by great Improvement In
the ambulance work Military surgery has
been brought to its highest cfllclcncy in tho
surgical automobilo manufactured by Boulnnt
for tho French army., These cars mako It
possible to operate while tho battle Is In prog
ress, not with the atrocious slaughter house
methods nnd technique that have made pre
vious wars infamous, but under conditions as
advantageous ns In the best hospitals, within
a mile of tho places whero tho wounded have
fallen.
Each of these automobiles Is a complete
and independent surgical unit, consisting of
(1), a comfortable and rigorously aseptic op
ening room; (2), an adequate collection of
surgical instruments, (3), sterilisers for wa
ter, Instruments and dressings; (4), air
sterilizers producing ozone, (5), electric
lighting and heating, and (G), radiograph ap
paratus. The submarlno and tho 42-ccntlmeter gun
are tho two supremo scientific achievements
of tho gods of hate. Tho submarine Is do
scribed by Burton Hendrlck (2):
It was n Ynlo fieshman, David Bushnell,
who discovered tho prlnciplo of submarlno
warfare which tho Germans nro now using
so effectively. All through his college days,
from 1771 to 177C, ho worked steadily at his
favorlto hobby, a vessel that would sail un
der water.
Not until nbout IB yonrs ago did the great
navies Berlously tako up tho idea, Again
hostility to England resurrected tho sub
marlno, ngaln tho weaker naval powers se
lected It as the only means of assailing Eng
land's preponderance at sea. Tho submarine
is tho moat peculiar weapon ever Introduced
Into warfare. This Is because It is tho only
weapon against which there Is no defense.
There is no way of fighting a submarlno.
Thero Is nothing you can send against It, not
even Itself, Concolvnbly, a single little vessel
of this kind could destroy a whole battle fleet,
ship after ship, As a matter of naval strat
egy, therefore, It endangers chiefly tho
stronger power. At the present moment the
British fleet has no mean3 of meeting sub
marine attacks.
The sclenco of aviation has furnished tho
gods of hate an ofllclent substitute for tho
classic messenger with wings In his heels
These modern Mercuries fly as swiftly at
the bidding of their lords, scattering thun
derbolts of destruction in true Olympian
style. II. B. Needhnm repeats the story of
tho young British naval lieutenant, who,
after a secret reconnolterlng trip, drew tho
map for tho successful aeroplane raid on tho
Zeppelin airship factory at Fricdrlchahaffen.
Tho young officer tells tho story of the
raid (3):
The start was made on Saturday morning,
thrco machines, at intervals of five min
utes. Brlggs Is the finest pilot of the lot, a
scientific flyer. In peace times ho goes up
surrounded with Instruments for the meas
urement of altitude, air speed, engine speed
and angles of tilt. His four bombs landed
on the sheds, but a punctured petrol tank
forced him to land. After landing, he fired
every shot In his automatic pistol at tho
Germans, In order to divert attention from
the flyers behind him Thanks Is duo to the
German officer who telegraphed that Brlgga'
wounds are not serious. They potted him as
ho came down.
Slppo saw tho shrapnel shells burst around
Brlggs' machine, so he sailed along six feet
above Lake Constance, took them by sur
prise, and when they did see him they could
not tilt their guns to that angle. He roBo
to 1200 feet, let loose a bomb which dropped
on tho pavement, puncturing the hydrogen
gasometers, dived to about 400 feet and
dropped two more, hitting the Zeppelin ajjed,
then got away. He succeeded In ratofng
the Germans, who scattered nfter his first
bomb and thus drew attention away from
Babble following.
After him came Bablngton, flying 90 miles
an hour at an altitude of 4000 feet. He made
a plumb-nose dive down to 400 feet, dropping
his bombs on the mark, the Zeppelin shed. He
was traveling so fast that he felt the kick
of his bombs, traveling over 200 miles an
hour at the bottom of his dive, probably
faster than any man ever traveled who came
out alive. First thing he said when fie came
down on friendly soil was; "Never saw any

ought to be shot." Just like him.
Paralleling the work of medical science In
reclaiming human bodies Is tho work of a
branch of the Allies' engineer corps, which
rescues all the motorcars left In the
wake of either army, sending them back to
a big repair depot about 100 miles west of
the firing line, where they are either over
hauled or Junked. W. F, Bradley describes
tho yard (4);
At the beginning of a row of 60 cars were
two German touring cars. The DUl had gone
over a bank when the driver was shot by a
British acout, For weeks the machine lay
rotting In the mud until the breakdown gang
brought It In. Although Its metal work was
red with rust, Its fenders and running board
carried away, the Instruction card read:
"Complete overhaul; return to advanced
base." Next down were three London taxi,
cabs. They were destined for the scrap heap.
On a railroad truck, ready to be unloaded,
was a six-cylinder Daimler, on the front wing
of which a shell had exploded, killing the
driver and the roan by his aide, and carry

wnndto Clicmle (Journal of Applied ChemW
try), It has been found that While dyna
mometcr testa of ynrn for strength nnd
stretch nro absolutely reliable, they do not
always give n correct Idea of tho wearing
quality of tho fabric. This led various gov
ernmonts to seek a further test by a shaving"
or scraping machine the Idea being that
this test would more nearly approximate the
results obtained In usage. Tho testa nro

nnd tho quality of tho cloth la estimated by
tho number of revolutions before tho cloth
tears. Tho greatest difficulty was in the
manufacture of sultablo rollers for the rna
chine. The best results have been obtained
with rollers having sharply cut grooves by
which tho Bhavlng was effected. Moreover,
specially prepared carborundum rollers were
employed, which wero found to remain In
tact, even nfter four or flvo months' Use,
An artlclo on "Hunger Htrlko nn Aid to
