Kind Words for CrinoIine.

Among other problems, some more, some
less weighty, the visiting clubwomen have
now taken up the matter Of clothes. Are
two gowns enough for any woman? Can
crinoline be artistic? Should fashions go!
And so on through the gamut Of knotty
questions without which the progress of
the more interesting half of the human
race toward the light would be a dull and
dangerous business.
The notion that crinoline might actually
be artistic seems to have stirred the great
est debate. isn't it just a style?" was the
whitening query flung at a hoopskirt. as
it artistic?" Certainly, came back the de-
signer's answer-especially if you have
hips. "You know you can always get a
waist line, but after you have hips there's
nothing will save you but crinoline." OF
course. 70 be accurate, two meals a day
and rolling on the floor Will help even hips.
But hips and technicalities aside, crinoline
is for sylphs as well as cows upon occasion
witness Carnival in the moonlight Of the
Russian ballet-and thanks are due to the
dressmaker for her courage.
There lies the weak spot in the creed Of
far too many dress reformers. At their
end of the line they make exactly the same
mistake as do the silly, sheeplike followers
Of fashion, who take each new creation
fresh from the shop window regardless of
hips or any other obstacle to becomingness.
Why not fimsiness Of stuff and artifciality
of line if the result is graceful and be-
comes the figure? Drab, boxlike plainness
is no more certainly becoming TO every
type of woman than a hoop. More indie
pendence and keener personal taste are
the goals to be upheld. The universal
style, whether frippery or frumpery, is
bad stuff

News Vendors in the Subway.

Sir: The policy Of your paper being tho
bctterment Of the public welfare and true
Americanism, Of which am a most enthu-
siastic supporter, beg 70 call to your notice
matter local i'm subject but Of general in
terest.
70 has been mystery TO me why the news
dealers are allowed to use the subway dur
ing rush hours, or at any other time, for re
turning their unsold newspapers. Three
men, with from six TO eight bundles Of pa
pers, block the entrances and occupy mosi
valuable space on the train platforms. every
inch OF which is needed by the crowded pas
sengers. 70 is not only most uncomfortable
but at times dangerous.
Should not these men be required to use
wagon for this purpose instead Of an al
ready overcrowded subway train?

The Rising Price of Silver.

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: During recent months your financial
columns have contained quite a number Of
explanations Of the cause Of the remarkable
advance In the price OF silver. Most of
these explanations attributed the advance TO
the increased demand for the white metal
from India and other Eastern countries But
hold that this Is a mistaken view.
lt is true that the great demand for silver
from the East has helped the advance. It
.5 also true that the demand for the metal
from the armies in the field has been an
other factor in the matter. But the main
cause Of the advance is to be found IN the
fact that tho leading nations OF Europe are
laying their plans for a return TO the double
standard. As pointed out IN an article on
the subject in "Moody's Magazine last Feb
ruary, huge debts, coupled with enormous
mutations Of pape- money, render It impos
s.1.e for these nations 10 maintain the gold
standard Indeed, 10 is extremely doubtful
if they can even maintain the double
standard. But they will have to make the
attempt. and 10 could be wisdom If the
United States were 20 take the lead I'm this
matter without waiting til the close OF the
var for other nations 10 do so.

"One Element, One Service. "

Lord Curzon is probably right in be-
lieving that the popular demand IN Eng
land for the creation of an air ministry
is not countenanced by the army or navy.
II so, he is justified in refusing to commit
the government to such a project. II IS
doubtless true that the present system Of
administration is inadequate, but it does
not follow, as is sometimes assumed. that
every element should have its separate
service. and that war in the air must nee
essarily follow the analogy Of war on sea
and land.
Zone element. one service" has been the
popular cry Of late, and it has been raised
not only by noisy enthusiasts like Mr..
Penrberton- Billing, but even by such sober
critics Of the government as Professor
Spenser Wilkinson, who has been much
wrought up by the bungling manifested
in the conduct Of the air service. But, as
Mr.. Manchester has pointed out, there is
no reason for treating the air service as
separate in the same sense as the naval
and the military. If naval and military
operations were in fact 50 nearly interre-
lated as aircraft operations are with either
Of them to-day, it is doubtful whether the
present system Of separate control would
be the best Joint operations Of the army
and navy are. however, exceptional and,
as history shows, often result in failure
for the very want Of single control. In the
air service the necessity of close coopera-
ton with the army or navy is demonstrated
constantly, and it may well be doubted
whether anything could be gained by di-
vorcing it and dealing with it separately.
If Mr.. Pemberton-Billing is justified in
accusing the government of providing the
airmen with crazy and unairworthy ma
chimes it is obvious that reform Of the
service is necessary. But it does not by
any means follow that the only remedy
lies in the creation Of a separate service.

Literary Dynasties.

The daughter of the late William Sgd
ney Porter is making her debut in the
magazines under the pen name of "Miss
10. Henry" Why not? She is as much en-
titled to the advantage which the fame
Of her fathers pseudonyme undoubtedly
gives her in her literary beginnings as she
would be if he had written under his own
name. and thus had bestowed its prestige
upon her automatically, so to speak. Sue
cession to a famous parent in his chosen
field of work is both an aid and handi-
cap-an aid in that the beginner arouses
curiosity and interest; handicap because,
sooner or later, it compels comparison,
however unjust this may be.
The list Of such SUGGESTIONS in litcra-
ture, of sons and daughters following in
the footsteps of their parents, is n long
and an interesting one. The names Of
Nathaniel Hawthorne and his son, Julian,
come first to mind; they illustrate so com
petely both the advantages and the handi-
caps in such cases. The younger Haw-
thorne certainly had the benefit Of his
fathers fame when he began his career.
He was watched closely, but in the friend
lest spirit, by all literary America. Once,
so ran the verdict of the moment, he came
close TO the standard set by Nathaniel, in
Richard Malmaison"; but with that YER
dict the expectant attitude changed to one
Of critical comparison. The handicap be-
gan 10 work, and thereafter the son never
escaped its weight. Unjustly enough, the
reading public lost interest in him because
re was not Of his fathers stature.
More recently we have seen the end Of
another literary succession, one in which
the relationship Of son to mother never
was handicap, in which comparison
when it was made, was always friendly
and admiring, with touch of pretty senti-
ment. Rebecca Harding Davis was every
whit as brilliant a woman as her son
Richard was a man; these two kept the
balance even in their work Moreover,
Mrs Davis left another son who chose to
follow her career, Charles Belmont Davis.
we'll known as an editor and as a novelist
and writer of short stories He has never
seriously felt the handicap Of this double
professional relationship. His work has
but rarely invited comparison with his

The protective spirit is gone from the gov

and the balance Of law-msking power have
opposed an adequate programme OF defence.
The people. trusting 20 a representative gov
