‘HAPPY MEDIUM' IS SOUGHT IN SKIRT BATTLE U. S. Women Start Campaign to Decide the Long and Short of It. lUt United Prets NEW YORK, Dec. 13.—After a busy summer on the hemline front, the women of America have moved into the winte* campaign on this troublesome matter of skirts. The long and short of it seems to be a determination to throw off the yoke of foreign dictatorship in styles. Some 800 women clamored for chances to express opinions pro and con at Thursday’s debate, sponsored by the New York State Federation of Women’s Clubs. The results were a bit difficult to analyze, for the engagement was brisk and without a decisive finsh. While a great many women object to being “meal tickets to the foreign style-monger,” the new long kirts 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 bathing 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 “pur new freedom.” The federation debate attracted a representative gathering. There w r ere delegates from California. Texas, lowa and five foreign countries.

BIG MUSICAL NAMES ON AIR CONCERTS Ossip Gabrilowitsch With Detroit Symphony Orchestra Became Nationally Radio Minded This Week. BY WALTER D. HICKMAN. THE theater of the air this week added anew man and a great orchestra to its roster of entertainers. As I turned the dial of my Fada radio this week I was convinced that the theater of tlie air was having an important week. Ossip Gabrilowitsch can stand upon his own feet as one of the commanding pianists of the day, and in addition to that he is conductor of the Detroit Symphony orchestra. This organization has assumed a recognized position. And this week, Gabrilowitsch made his radio debut with his orchestra. Asa piano soloist, this man is in demand and when he finds time

to play two movements of a Schumann concerto with his orchestra, the air program becomes even more important. It seems to me that WEAF on the night of the broadcast, took unusual care in securing the best broadcasting results. This care resulted in, according to my opinion, a better reception for piano and orchestra than we have been having for some time. Os course, I know that the conductor has given much study to secure the best way in putting over a symphony concert over the air. Gabrilowitsch gave me the Impression 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 beautiful 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. I noticed that he exercised the same

care in conducting for his air concert as he does on his regular concerts in the music halls and theaters. I want to go on record saying that I think Gabrilowitsch and the Detroit Symphony gave us an interesting air concert filled 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 more like a real concert than we have had for a long time. I have not been satisfied with some of the choral work that has been coming over the air. So much of it seems to lack competent direction. The Mendelssohn Glee Club this week seemed to have mastered some of these defects that choral groups have fallen into lately. Some of the time devoted to the telling of mystey stories is missing fire. Some of the alleged hair raising situations are mighty tame and some of the talking is very bad and not character. Some of the work
