Industrial conditions for vomn itur Ins the war wrr dlfirussul by more than twmty rcprecntatlC! of t!ie woman's committee of tho National Council of Defense inssTrililei here. Slate Chairmen from fourteen Strtes. Including Pennsylvania nnd, Delaware, participated In the meeting, which wan presided over by Miss Acnes Nestor, of ChlcMBO, chairman of the department of women In Industry, and also vice presi dent of the Olove Workers' Union. Plans wrro made to so orgrnlio the women of tho country as to mal:e them Available from now on for nny emer gency which may arise. In thin con nection tho dstegaten discussed reijlstra tlon and classification of fcnnle labor and the conditions which they are to work. Reports submitted from various States showed tho women not only hao done a great deal In the way of orKanliatlon work, but are maklnR plans to prolde for and tafesuard tho future. Will Index Ability As tho result of the conference. It Is the Intention of the Statu chairmen present to Index tli Industrial ability of all women workers In their repectlve localities so efficiency can bo brought Into play. The Department of Labor Is preparing an Industrial ciuetllonnalre, tho delegates wero told, that will classify the women Into the divisions for which they aro particularly tilted, i-o when the demand for labor arises It can bo filled Immediately. Mrs. 'Thomas l.oblns, of Philadelphia, In her address assured. the fitato chair men that tho women of the United States would bo fully nblo to take onro of tho emergency that confronted them. but gave warnlnir at tho same tlmo that the work must be so systematized as to be a'allable or clso their efforts would go for naught. "Wo havo plenty of women In this country," Mrs. Koblns said, "who will bo glad to undertake the work wo have before us, but In this connection It U absolutely essential that thorough reg istration be conducted. If we have sup ply so arranged ns to meet the demand there will bo no 1 rouble of any kind, but It wo do not thcro will bo an Influx of labor from Canada, rorto Rico and Mexico that we do not need, and that will bo highly undesirable In addition. I bopo that every woman hero will do everything In hfr power to further the registration work in her State." Tak Here nnd in Chester In dlscusslnc tho work that had been dono In Pennsylvania. Mrs. Robins said: Tli lslr that v tinvfl been nccUDled with at prcient bus been in Chester and Fhliacleipma. wun mo co-operation ui the Philadelphia housing commission, tho war council of tho Young Women s Christian .Association and the Depart ment of Labor and Industry, the woman's committee of the National Council of Defense has Just completed a surey of conditions In Chester where a large Influx of femnlo labor Is expected shortly. Tho mircy has Included not only the housing problem, but conditions of implement nnd recreational oppor tunities. We hope to reach a satisfac tory conclusion so that many of the evils wh'cli exist theru now may be remedied." Delaware's uport, delivered by 'Miss Mildred ICckman, showed that the prob lem In that State was one of the easiest that the commluce has to face. "In only two"'countles will the war work of women bo a serious factor," she said, "as in tho rest of the State the occupations In which tho women engage aro of n seasonal character. The work has been consolidated under the leader ship of our commltteo nnd all agencies are co-operating. The war has really hurt verv little cfttct on tho female labor situation In Delaware ns yet, ac cording to our reports. The census which we havo taken Bhowcd thnt there were no more women In Industrial life In 1917 than In 191C, and the shift had been only from stores and small shops n li.rt.nl nnlilnni where the wages wero better. Thcro are certain housing problems that wo must meet In connec tion with tho erection of ono or two Industries, but as we are dooting our entire attention to the matter we hope to boIvo them tuccessfully." Fix Safeguards In Munitions Steps that have been taken by the ordnance department to safeguard women workers wero explained by Cap tain George W. Carr. Under the direc tion of Major acneral William Crorlcr standards have been fixed that must be met by munition manufacturers. In the eectlons dealing with women workers ft Is stated that "efforts should be made to restrict the work of women to eight hours" and that "employment of women on night shifts should be avoided as a necessary protection, morally and phys ically." ,. Several Instances were cited where force of public opinion had safeguarded women workers In cases where there wero no existing statutes. Mrs. Ray .,! nnhini nf nhlrniro. nresldent of tho Natlonai Women's Trade Union League, declared many of the employers In Illinois had been compelled to toe the mark through the pressure which tho women's committee had brought to bear. The only entertainment feature of the meeting, which came to a close last night, was a luncheon given to the delegates at ufrrfATiealnuarters. which was marked by the absenco of ono woman who took a irartlni? nart in the conferences, Mrs. Arthur Dodge, of Connecticut, president YOUNG WOMEN TRAIN TO HEAL CRIPPLES Two Hospitals Added to List of Those Specializing in Orthopedic Work Two more hospitals for training classes of young women In orthopedic work looking toward "making over" maimed nnd crippled American soldiers have been added to the four already In service.

Its conven tional domination Is then placed In Jeopardy. The situation was particularly strik ing last night, for while tho masculine principal sang more eloquently than any Don Jose ever heard In this opera house nnd depicted tho character fully as vivid ly as Charles Dalmores at his best, Ger nldlne Farrar's Carmen betrayed much palpable artifice nnd lamentably little o!ce. Her portrayal has a certain super ficial dramatic value, but sho misses the dteper tragic significance at many points, notably In the thrilling "e'est flni" passago of the final act and In tho fatalistic card scene. Flctorl-illy she displays the same plas tic technique which has served her so prosperously In motion pictures. She In duly lltho nnd graceful, but she would do well to discard the castanets In ras- xi.vh tavern. She still plays them llko an amateur, nnd lifter tho eloquence extracted from these tricky llttlo shells of chestnut wood by the genulno Car. mens now lslble In 'The Land of Toy." the contrast Is peculiarly marked. Throughout nlmost tho wholn new formance Madame Farrar's vocal tones were dull nnd muddy. The seductive "Habanera" has seldom been less In splrlngly sung here. The "I-i-bas dans les montagnes," which ncrsundes the wavering soldier to turn traitor, was another of several feeblo lyric exhibits. Clarence wnitenui, orten so admirable In other part", proved nn uncertai,, and Ineffective Hscamlllo. Tho toreador num ber, though ranking as tin operatto "bromide," Is well-nigh ns barTUns a piece as tho "Star Spangled Banner." Furthermore, the bull fighter's entrance song Is not suitably pitched for tho American baritone's voice, and ho nearly came to trrlcf In his exacting phrares. Happily a high standard nf merit pro ailed In the subsidiary performers. Flora Ferlnl's Mercedes had lyric love liness and hlstrlonlo allurement, Mario Sundellus sang Mlchaela's two graceful arias with fresh radiant beauty and Leon rtothler was a magnificently sonorous Zunlga. The choral numbers were superbly given.

"In America. Exccllenr, we do not maki) war upon women." ".Nor do I make war upon you," he put In quickly. "I did not bring you to Ocrmanj", Frauleln, Herr Itlzzlo acted upon his own icsponrlblllty. Even j-et, If he Is nn English ngent, I cannot understand his purpose In bringing such un Incriminating document." Ho smiled as ho spoke, but Bhe felt the question nnd Its threat. For P. moment the directness tf his nttack be wildered her and so sho ripped her chocolato to gain n moment of time. "General ion Strombcrg," ho said nt last, as the idea came to her, "I am told that j-ou havo one of tho keenest Intellects In tho Empire of llcrmany.

She paused to get her breath, aware that her companion was listening In-teutlj-, nnd fearfully afraid that she was euyliig too much. "And then?" ho nsked. "And then." she went on more slowlv.

Von Stromberg bent his head nnd then pot up nnd slowly paced tho length ot the room. When he returned there was another note In his voice. It was still quiet but the legato noto had gone. ami it was ice-coia. , "You do well to tell your story through the medium of sentiment which you well und rstand, rather than through the medium of logic, which you do not understand, which no woman understands" At his change or tone she gianeea up.
