When news was given out of the big split In the present Boston Orchestra. an Item was added to the effect that the places of the striking players might be filled by women musicians from the Mac Dowell .Or-

chestra.

Now. on top of this promise o. threat (call it what you please)' comes word of a strong difference of «p!nlon on the subjec* of women otcbestra players between two emlneuu usldans of the country. They are Walter Damixmch ana David ilanne*. Damrosch's ooncor* master. Now he has an orchestra of his own. and furidshee the special concer. music at. the Metropolitan Museum of Art. he orchestra are women. A Harp MMiarfid* Queer rows men have! Dsmroscb wants no ladies In his or chestra, and tells a good story Once he had a woman harpist, set in among his 70 or 80 men. She was a quite aide enough harpist, but she had one ul-soluttly dlscotfcertlag habit. In the large general musicians' room ofl stage she always Insisted an taking down and arranging her hair. The hair was pot at all bad to look at. nor the harpist So discipline in the dignified orchestra began to waver

and fall off.

WTtlch Is the point of Mr. Dou rosch's anti-argument He says wi trea are more Interested In attracting the male than tht-y are In playing. He sti’nds forth quite frank and brutal In the position taken. But what mqker us chuckle a bit Is the position taken by Mr. Mannes. For, while Mr. Mannes is all for adiltting women to the choirs of the lighter string Instruments, be prothat he would not like to see vjinen blowing wind Instruments or I eating on drums. He admits that tl I* is r. mere personal f 'eling with

Good Seeds Essential tor Garden Growtl

Bring out the leftover seeds and those saved from last year's garden, spread them on a table, examine them closely, and see how many are worth planting In the garden this year. As a rule It does not pay to plant clo seeds, and unless those left over from last year are in first class condition they had best be discarded. United States Department of Agricnlspecialists advise. Even thougu they look to be all right, ■•'thing but germination test will determlm their value. The test may be made it two or thaoe ways, the easiest being by means of a small box.of sand In the window or In a warm place the house. From 60 to 100 seeds of each sample to be tested should be counted out and carefully planted In the moist sand. After the sprouts have appeared ancher count can be made to determine the percentage that have germinated. If less than 6. c 70 per cent have grown, the seed by all means should be discarded. A study of the seed c. talogucs will serve to refre.-h the memory" and call
