RED CROSS BRANCHES WANT MOTOR CORPS Southeastern Pennsylvania Chap ter Explains Methods for Or ganizing Auto Services Despite tho ending of tho war and 'the dls bandment of much Red Cross work hi this country, the Southeastern Pennsylvania Chapter of Red Cross has had many recent Inquiries from branches wishing to organlzo motor corps. Tho chapter does not direct tho formation of a motor corps by any branch or auxiliary, It was explained nt headquarters today. If however, a branch or auxiliary decides that in connection with Its work it needs a motor corps It should npply to the chapter for suggestions. If thero Is no deslro to wear a uniform, no application need bo mado to the chapter ns a branch or auxiliary may have n motor service to take caro of Its work and. nt the nnmU1,' '? ! ,0 1" the chairman nnd board of directors. It may not bo desirable- to liavo the corps uniformed and con ducted on a scmlmllltary basis. Tho extent of tho activities of lis motor ttorvlce rests entirely with tho chairman and board of directors of tho branch or auxiliary. Whether or not tho motor corps Is uni formed, It has no responsibility to tho motor corps of the general chapter. Recognizing tho difficulty of small groups drilling by themselves, the motor' corps of tho general chapter had arranged for tho branch members to drill with the general corp3 wheneer desirable. At the tlmo of large assemblies or parades tho motor corps of branches may parade w ltlt tho chap ter motor corps, though It is understood that at such times tho members must bo In uniform.

This Is the belief of Miss Eugenia Grogg Oelhaf, nctlng director of tho women's divi sion of tho United States Employment Serv Ico for Pennsylvania, and of Mrs. Ethel Spalding Slater, examiner In chargo ot tho 1311-1313 Arch street employment bureau. "Far from having a surplus of women workers because of tho discontinuance of war industries," declared Mrs. Oelhaf, "wo find we have hundreds more positions than we can fill. Whllo In the men's dl!slon an Intensive drive Is being made to find jobs enough for the returning soldiers nnd m.ilo war workers, wo nro facing a totally differ ent situation. "I find," and hero Mr'. Oelhaf smiled a little, "that many of the girls who worked In munitions and war Indus-tries plants saved so much money they plan to take a vacation now. I have been pleased and amused to hear dozens of them say they expect to spend their money In 'seeing America first.' Tho war has given them a new Idea of tho great ness of their own country, and I assure you that historic and scenic America Is going to bo kept busy during tho next few mouths entertaining visitors. "There has been one big thing in our faor. The war Industries have demobilized so gradually It has been easy to take care of tho women relensed. We hae placed pomo of our expert examiners In tho plants to talk to tho girls ns they were released and help them obtain new positions If they de sired them." "Tho last day of tho old year," declared Mrs. Slater. "I had 1310 Jobs, Including women chauffeurs, saleswomen, textile work ers, stenographers, confectionery woikcrs, nnd a dozen other kinds of work, nnd only 2C2 applicants for tho positions. Out of these applicants only a few wcro trained and nblo to answer requirements. "There were 231 positions open to sales women with salary ranging from $10 up; 16R openings for textile workers at MB n week: 117for confectionery workers nt $12: 100 chances for btenograpbers nt $15 to $18 a week, and there wero nineteen Jobs open to chnuffeurs at $25 a week. In nddltlon to tho usual demands for domestics, factory and clerical workers. In all thero were twenty nlne different kinds of work. "At this minute I could place almost any number of trained women In positions. Only tho untrained and tho highly specialized nio uncalled for at present. By highly special ized I mean such ns welfare workers. Just now tho demobilization of war Industries lias left an unusual number of such women with out employment. In a few months, however, I believe tho demand will again bo greater than the supply even in this. So many peace time industries recognizing the added elll clency given by welfare workers will employ not ono but several." ' In every possible way the employment dl rtctors are urging women desiring work to train themselves along certain branches. Ex pert examiners at tho employment bureau examine tho applicants for work, tactfully drawing from tho girls enough of their life histories and ambitions to Judgo what work they can beBt do. Een though a girl does apply for a position as a btenograplur, If tho examiner discovers she Is totally unfitted for such a placo tho applicant Is unconsci ously persuaded to try something elbe. And she Is also urged to accept low wages at first till sho becomes clllclent enough to de mand more. Sho Is Instilled with tho desire to mako good In somo one branch of work.

In a truo spirit they reveal the conflict In Its many phases of field and trench, of camp and hospital. In Its chief military characters and In Its relation to the people of the devastated nd outraged areas, ORCHESTRA GIVES A GOOD CONCERT Mendelssohn Scotch Symphony nnd Berlioz's "Faust" Well Played; Maggie Tcyte Soloist At the concert of tho Philadelphia Orches tra at tho Academy of Music yesterday afternoon Mr. Stokowskl Introduced a new and most commcndablo Innovation by Indi cating that tho audience remain silent be tween tho movements of tho Mendelssohn Symphony as directed by tho composer him self In tho score. This intimation, which wns conveyed by n single gesture, was obeyed, with a decided gain In the total effect of the work, which was thus presented In Its en tirety nnd not broken into by npplnuse, which, however well deserved, Is, neverthe less, somewhat distracting alike to audience nnd performers. Mr. Stokowskl did the same thing between the first two numbers of the Ilerlloz ex cerpts, but permitted recognition of the beau tiful work of the orchestra after the "Dance of the Slpbs" and before the -beginning of tho Hungarian March. At this point, how eer, It did not matter owing to tho lack ot connection nnd the mnrked dissimilarity be tween the second pnd third excerpts. It Is to be hoped that this precedent will contlnuo nt least In symphonic works or others where thero Is a strong corelatton between the vari ous movements. Tho concert opened with the "Alcesto" overture of Cluck with the Welng.irtnrr or chestration nnd ending. Thp ocrturo has often been played by Mr. Stokowskl. but was unusually well done jesterdny and was as well receded by tho large audience. The second of the purely orchestral numbers was tho tuneful Scotch Symphony of Mendelssohn, a work of melodious content. If not very pro found nor, in tho last analysis, exceedingly Scotch either In thought or feeling It was Interpreted with great regard for tho orches tral detail by Mr. Stokowskl, and the classic architecture in which Mendelssohn had no superiors was clearly shown, partly in tho way It was read and 'partly In the fact that tho orchestration nnd the counterpoint Is not so heay ns to overshadow everything except orchestral color, of which, however, tno work has plenty. it was In the Ilerlloz ecerpts that the orchestra did tho best work of the nftcrnoon. The Menuet des Follets, with Its cry con spicuous parts for the wood winds, especi ally the higher one, and Its strong dynamic contrasts was splendidly played with a spirit that carried out to the last degree tho Idea of the composer. In the following number the lovely "Danso des Slphcs" was n model of delicacy, notably the close between tho hnrp and the tympaul. Tho rather noisy "March Hongrolse," which closed the concert, was played with tho full force eif tho orchestra, bringing tho program to a trlumphint If bomewhat cxplosle finish. Tho soloist was Maggie Teyte, who pang tho familiar "Vol che Sapctr," from the "Marriage of Figaro" nf Mozart and the recitative and nrla of Lla from Debussy's "Prodigal Son." Like most of the other sing ers who have appeared here this ear, Miss Teyto appeared to better advantage In the Debussy number than In tho Mozart.

TWELFTH NIGHT TO BE OBSERVED TOMORROW Eve of Feast of Epiphany Com memorates Visit of Wise Men to Saviour's Crih Tomorrow night will be Twelfth Night, tho ee of the Feast of the Epiphany, which commemorates tho Journey of the Wise Men to the crib of the Infant to hall Him as the new-born Saviour. In England Twelfth Night Is celebrated with much merrymaking, nnd many curious rites which have been handed down from medieval times nro nlsered. Thn principal festivity of the night Is the cutting of the "bean cake" a cako In which a bean Is baked, and tho finder Is mado king for the night and for tho following dny. It was In commemoration of this ancient custom that Robert Baddeley, an English comedian of the eighteenth century, who was long a faorite at tho Drury Lane Theatre, made ono of the strangest bequests on record. Baddeley died In 1794. and In his will ho bequeathed a sum of money to be annually expended on a cako to be cut on Twelfth Night In the Green Room of the Drury Lane Theatre and dllded among the actors and actresses plnlng there. Many celebrated players bavo partaken of the cake In years past. As the cako Is cut this toast Is offered "To the skull of the founder" an Illusion to the brain In which this Idea originated. "Twelfth Night" also furnished Shakes, peare tho name for ono of his happiest comedies.

It Is a good bill and should bo passed. I WQnder when there will arise a legislator with courage enough to present a bill dolnff away altogether with the "third degree." I am not at all sure that such a bill l necessary, I am under tho Impression that the law as It stands forbids tho use of tho "third degree." Where, then. Is the Judg with courage enough to publicly disapprove of tho bulldozing tactics of tho police? ANTI-BOLSHEVHC Approves tho Moore Bill 3"o the V.iUtor of thr Vvcning PubUo I.cdoert Sir I nm net one to make a poor mouth. When my son enlisted nnd went to the front to mnleo the world safe for democracy I sent him nwny with a smile. Now that tho war Is over I want him back again. And so I write you to express my ap proval of the Moore bill, which authorize! the Secretary of War to grant honorable, dlschnrgcs to soldiers on sixty days' notice. I fear tho bill will not pass unless member of Congress nro given to understand that th pcoplo are back of It. The only way I hav of letting them know is to write to the Con gressman from my district and to you. My case Is, perhaps, like many others. I have n small Income not enough to provld comforts, but enough for brend nnd butter. My son had a fairly good position before h went nwny and It Is waiting for him now. He has done bis bit. I have done mine. I wns not Idle during tho wnr. I am not Idle now. Having done our duty as patriots, why shouldn't we be allowed to go back to our old way of living? Why should my boy hove to know that his mother Is living from hand to mouth until he can coma hornet Philadelphia, Jan. 3. WIDOW. Our Shell-Shocked Hemes To the Editor o the Evening Vullto Ledger; Sir Wo have at last reached the dawn of peaco on earth and good-will among man kind; our bos arc coming home, and soon everything will again nssumo a normal p!a ture. Though some of our boys will not return, having given their lives that democ racy might live-, thn vnst majority will como homo again. A certain percentage, to b sure, will be physically maimed to a. variable degree: most, however, will return Improv ed In body nnd spirit. But wo must not fall to take Into account those men who, appar ently sound In body, have been ailing with that peculiar malady which has occupied the minds of military surgeons In all belligerent countries, that strange disease called "shell shock," tho symptoms of which If not skill fully treated aro apt to becomo chronlo and endanger life. Shell shock Is not a new disease. Dr. H. Brooks, In the American Journal of Medical Sciences for November, 1918, has Just pub lished nn article In which, after an elaborate study of "shell shock" among soldiers, n concludes that this disease Is merely a form of hyperthyroidism, otherwise known as Graves's disease, or exophthalmlo goitre. This opinion I have voiced for over two years, and In frequently appearing articles I have pointed out that the manifestation! of the symptoms of "shell shock," 1. e., excitability, restlessness, rapid heart, palpita tion, staring eyes, tremor of the outstretched fingers, nnd usually a goitre, am nothing more than the symptoms of the dlseas known In peaco times as exophthalmic goitre. Tho definite cause of this malady is un known : but it is very likely engendered by the sudden change from an necustomed en-, vironment to an ntmosphere of unyielding subordination in the presence of Intense apprehension nnd danger to life and limb experienced In trench life. Of course, this presupposes In addition, a peculiar suscep tibility of tho recruit to tho disease. What shall we do for these boys? The. profession Is divided regarding what mode of treatment to adopt In exophthalmic goitre. Heretofore, surgery has claimed the disease as Its own, nnd operation upon tho thyroid gland (thyroidectomy) was considered th cure. Though this opinion still prevails In many medical circles, the truth of the mntter Is that surgeons and nonsurgeons have been too baBty In their generalizations In this re spect surgeons, by considering ns "cured" merely those patients presenting a surgical recovery though the dlscaso returns In aggra vated form sooner or later: nonsurgeons. In concluding that If the patient is not cured by medicinal measures within severat weeks, operation should be performed. The fact of the matter Is that medical -men who have given a great deal of the' tlmo to diseases of tho thyroid gland (tr., point of origin of the disease) know that tho malady Is not curable by the knifo; that nonsurgical means, embracing dietetic, hygi enic and medicinal measures when prop erly persisted In, can cure every early case, and tho vast majority of even advanced cases of hyperthyroidism or exophthalmic goitre. This Is attested by the presence of many cured cases In our midst, which were not operated upon. In conclusion, I would remark that all cases of so-called "shell Bhock," If properly managed nonsurglcally, may be restored to health, happiness, nnd utility, none the worse for their experiences, within a few months, ISRAEL HRAM, M. D. - Philadelphia, January 1. Wants Sunday Kept Holy To tho Editor o the Evening rublla Ledger Sir In your paper within a week were ' published tlj views of observing Sunday by a minister ofthe Episcopalian Church. He Is understoQrto ndvocate an open Sunday; let everybody do as they please; have excur sions, games, entertainments, etc.. Just as the p'ibllc wnnt such things. His article was three columns long' If nn Infidel or a free thinker or a Sabbatarian or Jew or State prison criminal had expressed such vlewa, nothing need be said In reply. But corplnc from tho ritualistic Episcopalian Church, from ono of their ministers, who nt least 100 times a year repeats the Fourth Com mtjndment and prays each time with hi! people, "Remember the Sabbath day to keep it holy ; Dord, Incline our hearts to keep this commandment." Is. to say tho least, a great surprise. How "holy" will the day be if everybody does what he pleases? Does he think the same way of the Seventh nnd the other commandments, "Let every one do as they pleaso"? With such views of the day as ho holds, nccordlng to that article, there could bo kept no "holy" day In accordance with the divine command and no statute ta. the laws of the State to uphold Its proper" observance. I am free to say that If he b,Jj longed to my denomination i wouiu inure im put him out of the Church as a worldling. E. F. MUNDY. Ambler, Pa., Dec. 28.
