'American Women To Study Problems Of Sex in Europe Y.W, C. A. Commission Aims to Create Closer Rela? tion Among Feminine Workers for Mutual Aid The first expedition of it? kind in go to Europe from the United States sets sail to-day on tho Noordam. It is a women's industrial commission which the National War Work Council of the V. W. C. A. is sending abroad to meet women labor leaders in England, ( France, Italy, Belgium and Switzer? land, i Members of tho commission include Misa Mary Dreier, representing the National Women's Trade Union League; Mrs. Irene Osgood Andrews, of the American Association for Labor Leg? islation; Miss Nellie Swartz, of the National Consumers' League of Amer? ica; Mrs. James S. Custiman, chairman of the National War Work Council of tho Y. W. C. A.; Miss Florence Simms, Miss Marie Wing, of Cleveland, Ohio, and Miss Imogenc Ireland, all of the Y. W. C. A. The commission will pass about ten days in each country, returning to America at the beginning of Juno. A programme of the standards which inch country considers necessary for its women workers will he discussed nnd recommendations will bo formu? lated by individual groups. Purpose of Trip Stated Miss Florence Simms, head of tho industrial department of the Y. W. C, A. and originator of the plan to go abroad for investigation purposes, says: "Tho war has forced upon us inter? national relationships in all things and our contact with women in other countries has caused us to include the industrial life of all women in our international outlook. "America has a splendid opportunity to serve the women of other countries. A general lowering of industrial standards in Europe inevitably means retrogression in the United States through the forces of competition. The time is ripe for women interested in the larger life of their fellow workers to counsel together and shape definite plans for a wider fedoration of women workers." New York Lea?is in Care of Ils Babies, Dr. Baker Declares Director of the Bureau of Child Hygiene Praises the Work of Welfare Associa? tion at Annual Meeting At the sixth annual meeting of the Babies' Welfare Association, held at the Russell Sage Foundation yesterday afternoon, New York was credited by Dr. S. Josephine Baker, director of the Bureau of Child Hygiene of the De? partment of Health, with having the lowest infant mortality of the ten larg? est cities in the United States. This was largely due to the activities of the association, she declared- During the last year 11,558 cases were handled and of these 8,933 were under one vear old. Dr. Baker traced the history of the Rabies' Welfare Association from its beginning. "It has become such a force in the community," she said, "that if it were to stop operation for a week concerted action would be taken to get it going again." "Tho time has come now, if ever, ? for us to emphasize our homo chari- i ties," said Dr. Henry Chapin, who j presided. "The war is over. Do not ' let us forget that a baby in Riving ton Street is worth just as much as a baby in Belgium." The following directors wer'.? elected for three years: Dr. Murray Bass, Academy of Medicine; Dr. Roger II. I Dennett, New York Post-Graduate Hos- i pital; Dr. Charles Herrman, Lebanon ? Babies' Clinic; Miss Jessio Dbcon, Brooklyn A. I. C. P.; Dr. Stafford Mc- > Lean, Babies' Hospital; Dr. Michael Schulmnn, Straus Laboratories; (ius tave Straubenmuller, Board of Educa- : tion; Henry Wright, State Charities Aid Association; Mrs. Arthur A. Cook,1 Mount Sinai Social Service Depart? ment, and a representativo from the Labor Sanitation Conference. 6Editor Emeritus' Doesn't Fit ideas Of Col. Wattersoiii That's Why He Is No Longer Connected With "Louis? ville Courier - Journal"; Kefuses to Talk Politics ColonoMIenry Watterson, for fifty one years editor of "Tho Louisville Courier-Journal," and for all of that timo a conspicuous Democrat, at last has severed his connection with "The Courier-Journal," although the pres? ent management desired to continue him as "editor emeritus." Colonel Watterson, who is at the Prince George Hotol for a few days, says that being the "emeritus" editor of'a newspaper did not lit in with his ideas of journalism. Colonel Watterson makes no con? cealment of his opposition to Presi? dent Wilson's policies, both with ref? erence to the league of nations and his general attitude toward the Demo? cratic organization, but he said he did not wish to talk politics. Colonel Wat? terson was elected president of the non-partisan Society for the Preser? vation of American Independence, formed by George Wharton Pepper, Senator Reed, of Missouri, Henry A. Wise Wood, of New York, and others for the express purpose of opposing President Wilson's league of nations. "For the present," said Colonel Wat? terson, "I wish to be excused from dis? cussing politics, tho leaguo of nations and kindred subects." The Southern newspapers freely dis? cuss Colonel Watterson's break with tho Democratic party and interpret it as a serious defection from their ranks for the 1920 campaign. Kentucky Dem? ocrats fear the result in the Blue Grass and contiguous states, where Colonel Watterson has a large following. The Louisville Congress district, represent? ed for years by Swager Sherley, went Republican last fall, despite tho most strenuous efforts of the Wilson mana? gers to save Sherley. The loss of the district is regarded in the South as an augury of the loss by the Democrats of both Kentucky and Missouri in 1920. Bronx Gas Rate Argued Supreme Court Justice Georgo V. Mullan listened to arguments yester? day as to what the gas rate in The Bronx should be in the future. The j matter came before him in the form of ' a motion by The Bronx Gas and Elec? tric Company for a preliminary injunc? tion to enjoin tho Public Service Com? mission, District Attorney Martin, of Bronx County, and Attorney-General Newton from enforcing the statute fixing the maximum rate for gas at ?1 per thousand cubic feet. The company, besides seeking to en? join the county officials, also asks that it be not interfered with in its an? nounced intention of fixing the rate at $1.50 per thousand cubic feet, Justice Mullan reserved his decision after directing the representativos of both sides to present all papers in the case not later than Monday next. Massachusetts A ssembly Wants Peace., Then League BOSTON, April 8.?The House to? day concurred with the Senate in the adoption of a resokui-on demanding tho eariy conclusion of peace with Ger? many and urging that the question of the formation of a league of nations be deferred until the peace treaty is signed. The voto in the House was 00 to 26. MAG! ?r^H Delicio.? Home Cooklno ? *?____, f" butine.? men t. ?vamtD ' ?3^1 8? N?_??u 8?. f^y fcpl. 8a.u..?y Luncheon, .73 LUNCH COI ^ 0\HHEtt.&0<i*^!f?

Drama "A Good Bad Woman" at the ' I larris; Matinee of ?'Sliakuntala" By Heywood Broun Somehow or other wo always find ' a certain inadequacy in any play by a gentleman which deals with the psy? chology of a lady who is expecting. To us such a play carries the same ' lack of conviction as an intimate story of the Paris conference written ? by a correspondent stationed in Wash- ; ington. William Anthony McGuire's ! obstetrical littlo drama called "A Good Bad Woman," produced at the Harris Theatre last night, seemed to us to fall into this class. We were never suro of its truth, because in the caso of much of its material we knew that Mr. McGuiro could not pos? sibly be writing of his own knowledge. The atmosphere of "it is learned on good authority" and "we are reliably informed" hung heavily over the en? tertainment. The theme of criminal abortion which Mr. McGuiro has chosen as a subject for an evening's diversion in | the playhouse is not particularly fa- j miliar in the theatre, but.whatever un- I easiness may be caused by this fact | is shrewdly mitigated by tho play Wright's device of using a dramatic | technique without a single novel feat- I ure. Every serious scene is followed j by a scene of comic relief. This Bys- | tern, which we understand is cla.ssi- ; tied in the textbooks as "sandwich ; technique," has gono out of fashion I a bit in tho last fifty years, but it is by no means unfamiliar. Moreover, nothing ever happened in "A Good Bad Woman" without, tho most elabo? rate preparation and the broadest of i hints to tho audience. This is known as foreshadowing. Mr. McGuiro has also been most industrious in invent? ing excuses for his characters to come on and off at the precise; moment he has need of them. The fact that many of tho excuses are. very bad should hardly bo held against the playwright. It is to his credit that he has tried his liest to justify every exit and en? trance in an ago in which many play? wrights merely whisk people on and oil* without asking leavo from any one. "A Good Bad Woman" is a propa? ganda play against abortion which is treated in a frank and severe manner. The physician of tho play stater, it as his opinion that it is justified by no circumstances whatsoever. Tho hero? ine of the play, under the bad advice of a villanous woman friend, seeks to avoid motherhood. The physician to whom she is sent deceives her into thinking that her wish has been ac? complished. She repents and is re? morseful, particularly when her hus? band learns of her plan and threatens to divorce her and shoot, tho doctor. Before these threats can be turned into accomplishment the doctor con? fesses that he merely deceived the er? ring woman in order to teach her a lesson. We should catalogue "A Good Bad Woman" as a rather weak play about j abortion, but this is not intended as i an appeal for stronger plays on the same subject. The play is written with such an ob? vious effort for theatrical effect that the author seldom achieves his object. Thore are few opportunities, therefore, for the actors. Margaret Illington, Robert Edeson and Wilton Lackaye, who are cast in the chief roles, have little opportunity to distinguish them? selves. Kichard Taber, cast in a small comic part, is amusing, and Amy Ong ley manages to get some fun out of the character of a comic servant with no groat help from the. author. Perhaps tho most amusing incident in tho play occurs in the second act, when Mr. Lackaye and Mr. Edeson givo the Har? vard cheer. "Shakuntala," produced at the Green? wich Village Theatre at a special mati ness yesterday, is moro than 1,400 years old, but several of its themes are still in use on the American stage. This old Hindu drama by Kalidasa proved always picturesque, often charming and occasionally dramatic from iho modern point of view. There were other stretches, however, when it was severely dull to any one except a student of tho drama. The play deals with the love of a king for a maid and recounts how the woman overcomes a curse and regains tho love of the king through the virtue of a ring. The costumes and settings of Liv? ingston Piatt are beautiful, the stand? ard of acting is not so high. The acting version has been prepared by Frank Conroy and Charles Henry j Meltzer from the translation of Sir Monier Monier-Williams. The adapt to rs have done a good job on the whole, although while they were at their compressing they might have squeezed a little harder here and there. Prob? ably tho best performance was that of Mr. Conroy. Joseph Macaulay a:' the King acted moderately well and did much better than that in tho sing? ing of somo charming incidental music. Beatrice Prentice as the heroine we found a bit too mannered. Even a Hindu maiden in a ilfth century play j must have moments in which she for? gets that she is a Hindu maiden in a fifth century play. Harold Meltzer aided tho perform- j anco very largely on tho pictorial side by his effective appearance in a cos tumo which showed his huskinesB to the-best advantage. But this reminds! us of a story they used to tell about I l'eter Jackson, the negro pugilist, who was put on tho stage on the strength of his athletic prowess. His manager went around in front at tho end of the first act to learn the verdict. lie sought an opinion from a critic who was also a fifrht fan. "It's like this," said the critic. "Ana? tomically he's a wonder. Uncletomatic ally he isn't." However, wo ought to ndd that Melt-| zor's performance, aside from the pic- ! torial, was adequate, even if this dulls the point of the story. We did not think Geoffrey Stein was up to his usual standards. "Come Along" Opens At IS ora Hayes Theatre vein of humor in the lifo of the dough? boy of tho A. E. F. its profusion of aviators, motor corps girl:., Salvation Army girl.., members of the A. E. P., et. al, are a ?spiritless procession. The soldier shows themselves have set a higher standard for tho war musical comedy than this can follow. Bido Dudley wrote the book, which is as innocuous as that of any pre-war musical piece. The absurd rivalry of two young men for a girl is settled at a chateau in France, where tho three principals meet with great precision after having parted to go their several ways in New York. The music and lyrics are by John Louw Nelson. The music was jingly and sometimes catchy, though the lyrics were uniformly dull. Harry Tighe is spontaneous and amusing in the r?le of a fat sentimental mess sergeant. And Mlle. Marcelle Carroll is a delightful soubrette. She made her part of a flirtatious French village girl the bright spot in the show. The rest of the cast were quite undis? tinguished. On the whole, this show does not rise to te level of the*sea. on's musical offerings. "Come-On Charley" Has All the Complicalions "Come-On Charley," labelled a fable, by George V. Hob'art, opened at the Forty-eighth Street Theatre last night It is a dream play, with more com? plexes than the league of nations. Be? ginning in n lawyer's oflice, it rambles to Stamford, Conn.; backs up to a Broadway hotel, digresses into a haunted house in the country, and re? turns to a rude awakening in tho law? yer's office. Into these environs are in? troduced the most extraordinary con? gregation of characters seen in many a season. Come-On Charley is a c.erk in a Stamford shoe store, for whoso benefit a forgotten and remote uncle (as re? mote as Shanghai) dies and leaves a legacy of $10,000. The attorney to whom the legacy is intrusted has a theory. He tells the lad that this is merely a first instalment on -the uncle's estate, paid to him on condition that he make $500,000 within six months, believ? ing that this will stop him from squan him to multiply it. Charley is no piker. him to multpily it. Charley is no piker. Within three weeks lie has turned the trick, not by one trick alone, but by a grand slam. Charley uses up nearly all the meth? ods known to the stage of getting rich quick. lie hacks a broken-down in? ventor, plays tho stock market, re? covers the world's largest ruby from a passel of crooks and even beats the shell game. By his seeming inno? cence and readiness io part with his money he camouflages his native com? mon sense. In a plav that is a riot of unrealities Charley is roa!. To what extent, this is due to the. fine comedy sens'.? of Lynne Overman it would be difficult to determine. With a thin physique, thin voice and a stage pres? ence so quiet that, he accentuated the loudness of the rest, of the cast, he made his lightest points with a sure ness that marked him as a comedian to be remembered. "Carmen," sung by Mme. Farrar, Mr. Caruso and Mr. Whitehill, will open the last week of the Metropoli? tan Opera season next Monday even? ing Other operas of 1he closing week will be as follows: Wednesday, "Mir? eille," with the original cast; Thurs? day, "Aula," with .Mme...

There were two of them j who appeared yesterday afternoon, one ' at Aeolian Hail and one at tho Princess ! Theatre. Miss Carolyn Willard, whose recital was at the latter house, was a ?newcomer, but little could be said of j her except that her playing was con I scientiou3.

Scherzo of Chopin. Miss Winifred Byrd, who was giving her third recital of the season at ?Aeolian, is an artist of a talent dis ! tinctly superior to the average run of pianist. She has a fluent, even, bril? liant technique, a keen intelligence and impeccable taste. Her playing yesterday of the Brahms B minor Rhapsodie was a truly admirable per I formanco, warm in tone and bcauttful . ly controlled in its dynamics. Finely I played, too, was tho Chopin Sehero, op. ! 20, No. i, played with grace and power. Tlie other numbers were Schumann's I "Scenes from Childhood."
