Bedtime Stories
By Thornton W. Burgess
Chatterer the ?ted Squirrel Becomes Saucy
A saucy tongue is dangerous to possess;
'Tis sure some day to get you in a mess.
Reddy Fox sat staring at Grand?
father Chuck's old hole under the
stump of a tree in the Green Forest.
Peter Rabbit had been there; Reddy
was sure of that. But when had Peter
been there? Had it been before or
since Reddy had driven Peter and Mr?i.
Peter out of the bramble-tangle into
the fallen hollow tree-truuk? Reddy
didn't see how it could have been
since, because for the life of him he
couldn't see how Peter could have
reached that hole without being seen
by Mrs. Reddy or himself. At last
he gave up and trotted away, but all
night long as he hunted he kept think?
ing and thinking and thinking and the
more he thought the more puzzled he
became.
this way when it struck me as queer
that this hole isn't all filled up with
snow. It struck me that some one
might have dug It open. You haven't
seen any one about here lately, have
you ?"
Chatterer chuckled. "Do you sup?
pose I would tell you if I had?" said
he. *I never tell what I know. I
didn't suppose that there was anything
going on that you didn't know about.
By the way, what are these stories I
hear of how Peter Rabbit has fooled
you until you are the laughing stock
of the Green Forest and the Green
Meadows ?"
Instantly Reddy's quick temper
flared up. "Peter Rabbit, has been
lucky, that's all," he snapped.
"You mean Peter has been smart,"
"Hello, Chatterer." said he, "you gave me a start'
Reddy hunted all night. He hunted
until broad daylight. Then he started
for his home in tho Old Pasture. His
way led him near that old hole of
Grandfather Chuck's and the fallen
tree-trunk near the bramble-tangle.
The mystery of Peter Rabbit's escape
still bothered Reddy, and he went over
! to have another look at Grandfather
Chuck's hole under the old stump. As
i he sat looking at it something hit him
| on the head. It was a pine cone. He
f looked up to see where it had come
? from. There, peering down from a
limb directly over his head, was the
| grinning faco of Chatterer tho Red
'; Squirrel.
Reddy started to snarl and then
j thought better of it. Instead he grinned
jback at Chatterer. "Hello, Chatterer!"
said he. "You gave me a Btart. I
I might have known where that cons
, came from. What's tho news over here
; in the Green Forest?"
Chatterer's sharp eyes twinkled mis?
chievously. "Hollo, Reddy," said he.
"You seem to be very much interested
in Grandfather Chuck's old hole.
Dont yon know thst no one has lived
there for ever and ever so long?"
"Of course, Chatterer. Of course,**
reolied Reddy. *"I was just passing
chuckled Chatterer. "I saw him over
here yesterday and Mrs." Peter was
with him. He didn't seem at all wor?
ried. He seems to go about just as he
pleases. You may be smart, Reddy;
you may be smart,- but you've got to
be smarter than you've ever been yet
to catch Peter Rabbit."
Reddy Fox suddenly swallowed his
temper. He grinned up at Chatterer
in the most friendly way. "Well,"
said he, "I guess I'll have to admit
that Peter has been smart. I still
think he has been lueky, but I guess
he has been smart too. I think, how?
ever, that you were mistaken about
seeing him over here yesterday. I am
very suro ho couldnt have been here.
You must have seen some one else and
thought it was Peter."
"No such thing!" sputtered Chat?
terer. "I guess I kaSNt* Peter Rabbit
j when I see him! Ha and Mrs. Peter
I came out of that very hole of Grand?
father Chuck's yesterday afternoon. I
was right up in this very tree. Don't
try to tell me that I don't know Peter
Rabbit when I see him."

> Wagnerian Program Given!
Mr. Damrosch Delights Audi
ence at Carnegie Hall Concert
Since "Parsifal" is the only Wagner?
ian opera that has as yet found its
way back to the local stage, it is a ?
pleasure to take advantage of the op-j
portunities offered by orchestral con
certs to hear bits of the "Ring," "Tris?
tan und Isolde," "Tannhauser" and the
other's. Mr. Damrosch' provided such
an opportunity yesterday afternoon,
when a generous Wagner program was
played by the Symphony Society at
Carnegie Hall.
The overture to "Rienzi,'* the prelude
to "Lohengrin," portions of "Tristan,"
"the Mastersingers." "Parsifal" and ;
"Tannhauser" were among the num- j
bers, with the "Ring" represented by ;
"Siegfried's Rhine Journey" from ;
"Goetterdaemmerung" and the "Ride !
of the Valkyries" from "Die Walkuere."
Mr. GuBtave Tinlot's beautiful play?
ing of the violin solo in the "Good
Friday Spell" music from "Parsifal"
added much to the pleasure of a de?
lightful afternoon.
Church Forum Gives Lesson
On Mispronounced Words
An innovation was introduced last
night at the mid-week forum of the
Church of the Ascension, which is held
at the parish house. The session
started with ? the reading of words
"commonly mispronounced." The
words were then written on a black?
board and pronounced correctly. Many
of those at the mid-week forum are of
foreign birth and the purpose of the
gathering is to give them confidence in
the use of English. A suggestion made
at the church forum Sunday that speak?
ers whose views barred them from that
platform might seek the mid-week
forum appeared not to have been acted
upon.

Perpetual Purity!
It is surprising what conscientious
laundry methods will do toward
preserving the unblemished purity
of linens. For example, the Wallach
way of washing household linen is
designed expressly to preserve its
wearing qualities. It is a matter
of care?and conscience.

Major Schroeder
Expects to Go Up.
50,000 Feet Soon
Perilous Flights Prompted
By Desire to Measure Ter?
rific Trade Winds; Fuel
Only Factor in Climb
Major* R. W. Schroeder, official test
pilot of the United States Air Service,
who fell five miles in a few seconds re?
cently after establishing a new world's
record at Dayton, Ohio, said yesterday
he expected to reach an altitude of
50,000 feet within the next few months.
"The question of fuel is the only lim?
iting factor to the climb of the ma?
chine," he said.
Major Schroeder has just been re?
leased from the hospital and came here
yesterday to attend the Aeronautical
Show. Still suffering from his thrill?
ing experience, Major Schroeder told a
dramatic story of his fight against a
220-mile-an-hour gale almost seven
miles above the ground in a temper?
ature of 67 below zero.
For four days after the flight he lay
in tho hospital, his* eyes frozen. "Tho
specialist who attended me," he said,
"put cracked ice on the outside of
my eyelids and gradually thawed them
out. It was impossible, though, to keep
my eyeballs still, and as they moved
about they ground the ice inside the
lids, like the crunching of cinders."
After four days of this intense agony
h?3 eyes opened and, although still
weak, are practically unimpaired. One
of the valves of his heart refuses to
function properly yet as a direct re?
sult of the sudden change from a pres?
sure of three pounds to fourteen
pounds to the square inch, caused by
his five-mile fall.
"At 30,000 feet," he said, "I first en?
countered the terrific trade.wind sci?
entists have declared existed at high
altitudes. It was blowing west to east.
1 It gradually increased in velocity, un?
til, at the peak of my climb (36,020
feet), it had reached a speed of 220
miles an hour.
?'1 was making an air speed of 100
miles an hour against it. but was actu?
ally being driven backward at the rate
of 120 miles an hour relative to the
ground. By the time I reached the
peak I was thirty mile;, west of Dayton.
"At 36,020 feet visibility was ex?
cellent. I commanded a clear view of
Indiana, Kentucky, Ohio and West Vir?
ginia. I could see the Ohio River ovei
a distance of 20<^ miles.
"At this moment my oxygen tank
failed. The carbon monoxide fumes
from the exhaust of the engine hung
about the cockpit, in the thin air, lik?
a cloud of steam. I couldn't help breath
ing them, and I collapsed. I pushec
| tho joystick forward to come down
! and tried to shut oft' the engine, bu:
i fainted before I could reach the switch
| "I believe that I fell in a straigh
| nose dive with the engine full on. I re
covered consciousness at 2,000 feet, am
at that time was in a spinning nos(
dive. The sudden pressure brought m<
to. My eyes were frozen and I ha<
to force my vision to see the ground
"1 grasped the controls, and almos
automatically straightened the shi)
out, and then glided down to a landing
"The unfortunate part of it was th
knowledge that I could have reaches
50,000 feet that day but for the failur
of the oxygen."
Speaking of the object of tho nigh
Major Scroeder said: "Many, people
think I made the flight just to estab?
lish a record in altitude. Sueh is not
the cas?. As chief test pilot of the
engineering department it is my duty
to do research flying. ' These flights are
to determine the ability of an engine
to function at altitudes, and also to
verify the scientific belief that trade
winds of terrific velocity exist at high
altitudes. This will be of supreme im?
portance to commercial and military
aviation, if proved true."

Chalmers in New Role
In Blue Bird Matinee
Sings the Dog Part Admirably;
"La Forza del Destino"
Presented in Evening
Thomas Chalmers sang the Dog for
the first time in Albert Wolff's
"L'Oiseau Bleu" at the special matinee
of that opera at .the Metropolitan yes?
terday. Mr. Chalmers's enactment was
admirable in every way, and his final
scene informed with a poignant sense
of pathos. The rest of the cast was as
usual, with Mmes. Delaunois and Ellis
as the children, and the composer in
the conductor's stand.
The evening opera was "La ForA
del Destino," sung to a huge and vo*
ciferous assemblage. Mr. Caruso wa3
in excellent voice, as was Miss Ponselle
and Mr. Mardones. Mme. Jeanne Gor?
don is the most effective singer who
has yet tackled the difficult part of
Preziosilla, and Mr. Chalmers, as the
stupid monk, Father Melitone, pre?
sents a veritable chef d'oeuvre in the
buffo art. Mr. P#pi conducted with
spirit.

Symphony Orchestra
trices To Be Advanced
New York Organization Plan?
Increase Because of High
Cost of Production
The New York Symphony Orchestra
will advance its prices 50 per cent for
single admission tickets and 25 per
cent for subscription seats, it was
made known yesterday.
This advance, it was said by Georg*
Engles, manager of the New York;
Symphony Society, was not wholly as
a result of what he believed to be an,
impending new scheduic of wages that
must be paid to musicians in the or?
chestra, but is the result of advance ?
in the cost of every department tha*.
has to do with the staging of the con?
certs by the great orchestra.
He admitted that it was probable
that the proposed demands of tn?
Musical Mutual Protective Union for
higher wages for musicians in the or?
chestra at the Metropolitan Opera
House would spread to all branches of
high-class music in the city, and said
it was expected in his organization
that a new schedule of pay would bu
presented the management very soon.
S. E. MacMillen. manager of the New
Symphony Orchestra, said:
""We have done nothing as yet with
regard to increasing the pay of our
musicians, and we shall do nothing
until the matter is taken up with ua
formally. I suppose the unions wail
see fit to consult with us, however, and
talk over the matter of how we are to
meet added expenses."
He said that there was a mistaken
idea among a great many persons who
believed that the scale of pay for
musicians in symphony orchestras and
opera orchestras was set and fixed an?l
did not vary.
"Different men are paid different
wages," he said, "commensurate with
their own personal circumstances and
the work they do."
