Fiery Foolery on the Screen
To the Editor of The Tribune.

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: Criticism born of disgust in my
opinion, should be mentioned in vulgar lam
guage. When will a disgusted, indignant
public refuse to view such sickening motion
picture trash such as "The Double Cross,
"The Fatal Ring" and all other sensational
vomt Of the motion picture industry? Let
US hope that every murderous knife thrust
of the deep-dyed villain weak -kneed para
site that he isl stabs deeply into the vitals
of such nauseating pictures, and let each
soulful sigh of the gallant hero help to blow
out the fame of fiery foolishness which illu-
inmates his actions. Let all lovers of the
good things of life-good literature, good
art. good music, dramatics and motion pct-
ures-let lovers Of these worthwhile things
revile and spit in dsdan upon such parasi-
tai, emotional pictures which degrade the
ideals Of their audience. w. o. SCHWAB

Nature and the Camera

A physician who less than two years ago
won unlimited notoriety with one OF his
cases by Getting Nature take her course, "
as he phrased it e. e., suffering his patient
to die), has once more attracted popular
attention to himself by repetition of the
experiment and a promise of further sur
renders to Nature.
Nature has now disposed of another de-
fective infant under his care, and the doc
tor seems to be wondering why the event
has caused so little commotion. But there
are possibilities in store. There are two
other hopeless babies under my treat
ment," he confded to the reporters, "and
they, too, are being permitted to die. |
suppose the authorities would raise great
disturbance if they knew I had three cases
in all"
Of the nature of these three cases we
know little, but of some circumstances in
volved we know enough to hope that no
opportunity will be offered for "a great
disturbance" All doctors are confronted
from time to time with problems that COM
pei choice among several courses, and
in many instances these problems are so
full of complexity that it is extremely diff
ficult to determine which course ought In
conscience to be taken. But not all Of
these problems create great disturbance.
In the case that filled the papers in the
winter of 1915 the doctor was acquitted
of all blame for refusing to operate,
though by an operation a miserable life
might possibly have been prolonged. Upon
that aspect of the affair it is unnecessary
at present to dwell; what we hope to be
spared on this occasion is repetition OF
the nauseous series of stories and pictures
of the doctor and his patients that were
supplied so plentifully to the papers after
Nature had done her work.
The doctor, it may be admitted, looked
as impressive as anything ever con-
ceived by Luke Fildes as he sat by the
bedside of the mother, and the various
photographs of babies whom Nature
spared were as impressive as photographs
of babies can be. But we have all seen
enough of the doctor and his patients, and
we shall be very grateful if for once Nat
ure may take her course without the help
of her talkative colleague or of the
camera

Where Feminism Halts

On one side in one of the far flung bat
tie lines of this titanic war is arrayed a
patriotic army of prospective female farm
hands. On the other in solid, unflinching
phalanx the jealous farmers wives of
England oppose their invasion. 1t is an
other case Of stalemate, apparently. And
in the meantime the precious crops are
approaching the harvest and male labor
is even scarcer than food.
To the urban housewife who has accus-
toned herself to the disturbing thought OF
the stenographic and other sirens who in
fest her husbands Office this obstinate de-
fance on the part of her agricultural sis
ter may seem primitive and undignified
But there are extenuating circumstances
The premises of business provide poor cul-
tivation for the germ of love, while in the
fields and woods of farmland it thrives
like tetanus.
Female farmhands-th very term pro-
notes idyllic visions. Who wouldn't be a
sore tried farmer could he toss hay to some
sturdy, sun burnt lass in gingham, smiling
down at him from the rick, or could he
drink after her, we'll say, from the dipper
of cold well water as they weed parallel
potato rows? The very smell of the fresh
turned soil or of the new cut hay is per-
fume provocative, and all the sights and
sounds of the lush bucolic environment con-
spire to ensnare the unwary sex.
No one can know this better than the
farmers wife, and yet she is asked not
only to take the risk to her home involved
but also to cook for these hired compel
itors, to serve them with food and to watch
them every day at dinner with her man.
Down with autocracy! we cry, yet here is
case where one can't help sneaking
sympathy with the autocrat. She has
earned her humble kingdom with hard ans
faithful labor. Should she not be per.
mitted to reign on supreme?
But the crops? 1t is knotty problem
We may be called upon to solve it soon
even here in America. Meanwhile we can
derive both entertainment and instruction
from close watch on the progress of this
distant struggle between feminism and the
eternal feminine.

A Solution of the Economic Problem

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: Just as the President found the solu-
ton of the liquor problem in the "limited
liquor law" so he will find the solution of
the economic problem in ''limited personal
service law" and he can apply the principle
at once in a war measure by means of a
selective draft of all individuals between
the ages of seventeen and forty-seven not
engaged in useful work.
One-fifth of all males. and one-third of all
females are either not now working at all
or are at dispensable employment. A vast
amount of real work is waiting for them. 1t
will quickly suggest itself to the Executive.

New York's Anti-Sufragists
ne Editor of The Tribune

To the Editor Of The Tribune
Sir: An editorial in to-day's Tribune says
that even the Indifferent "has at last come
to see that women do want the vote" The
figures of the census lead to an opposite
conclusion. Amid ni:e million inhabitants
of New York State, it is fair to say that at
least three million are women of voting age.
The suffragists claim half a million, leaving
two million and half, or five to one, who
do not allow themselves to be so enrolled.
Hosts of these women are loyalty giving
their time day after day to the service of
their country, and it would seem their wishes
should be considered.

were ear-marked by Italy as necessary to
the protection of that naval base which
she planned at Valona.
If Italy now insists that Albania be kept
intact, then Serbia will again be denied a
seacoast and her allies will have no choice
but to support her claims against Austria
Hungary for portion of the Dalmatian
coast. If Italy consents to forego her
claims as the self-appointed protector OF
Albania and permits Serbia to occupy that
norton of Albania north of the Shkumbia
River and Durazzo, then it would not be
difficult to persuade the Serbians to assign
to Bulgaria that Macedonian region which
they consented to permit Bulgaria to oc-
cupy in 1912, when their arrival at the sea
was guaranteed.
In the same fashion, if Italy permits the
Greeks to occupy that portion of Albania
south of the Shkumbia River, including
Valona, then it will probably not be diff
cult to persuade the Greeks to resign their
claim to the Kavala district, now occupied
by the Bulgars and redeemable only at the
cost of another war for the Greeks.
Many things are now likely in the Bal
kans that seemed unlikely a few months
ago. The collapse of Russia has made it
far from improbable that Rumania will
make a separate peace with the Central
Powers. This may be her only escape
from complete ruin. 1t is less probable,
but by no means impossible, that Serbia
and Montenegro will be driven to take the
same course. Certainly, they will be COM
peled to do this if Sarraips army is re-
called. Finally, complete collapse of the
pro-Ally sentiment in Greece must be ex.
pected Immediately there is the first whis-
per of an evacuation of Salonica.
On the other hand, the Allies must them
selves recognize how changed is the Bal
kan situation and how unlikely of realiza-
ton are the grandiose plans which they
have formed for a Jugo-Slavic kingdom
from the headwaters of the Drave to the
Shkumbia River and from the Adriatic to
the Danube. Likewise, the greater Ru-
mania seems dream adjourned to fut-
ure no longer to be guessed at. 1t will be
a fortunate thing for the Allies, as it now
stands, if they shall be able to save Serbia,
Montenegro, Rumania and Greece sub
stantially as they existed before the COM
ing of the World War, and this will be pos
sible only if there is very great modifi-
cation of Italian claims.
Beyond all this there is the question OF
Turkey to be opened and discussed anew
by the Allies at Paris. Already there is
unmistakable evidence pointing to an
abandonment by the Allies of the old plans
for the dissolution of Austria-Hungary
into its component nationalities. Similar
notifications of purpose will unquestion-
ABLY be added in the matter Of Asiatic
Turkey. Whether these notifications in
Europe and in Asia will be sufficient to
induce a separate peace on the part
of Austria, Bulgaria or Turkey remains
problematical. But it is not less patent
that it is with the thought of separate
peaces in mind that the Allies will ap-
proach anew that most tangled and most
intricate of all problems-the Balkan
question.

Havana's Orphans.

A whole series of romances could
be written round the strange little
opening in the wall below the iron
barred window through which infants
enter Havana's great orphan asylum at
La Benefcencia, says writer in Wide
World Magazine. Parents, guardians,
and others DESTROYS of getting rid Of
infants place them within the boXlike
compartment, which is really stile.
They then give the stile turn, which
has the effect of ringing a bell in the
building, announcing to the sister on
duty the advent of another little found
ling. The identity of the person who
brings the child is never known, and
every infant deserted in this way is
nourished and cared for by the kindly
sisters. Some of Havanas most pros
porous citizens were brought up in this
institution.

Oldest American City.

The first permanent European set
Element in the United States was
founded September 8, 1865. Menendez
de Aviles had arrived on the coast of
Florida on st. Augustine's day in that
year, and accordingly he gave the name
of that saint to the city he founded.
The founding was accompanied by
much pomp and display. Accompanied
by his chaplain, arrayed in rich Sacer-
dotal robes, Menendez went ashore,
followed by numerous ecclesiastics and
gentlemen" while flags waved, can
mons roared, drums beat and trumpets
sounded. Menendez planted the royal
standard in the. sands, beside which
the chaplain placed the large cross he
had carried With such conservation
Menendez laid the foundation of the
city of ST. Augustine. Only a human
sacrifice was needed to give the city a

Japanese Eat Ice.

The Japanese are probably the only
civilized people in the world who eat
ice in the way they do. Blocks OF
small cakes of ice smashed into tiny
pebbly pieces are eaten with sugar and
lemon or any other mixture one may
fancy But by far the commonest way
of eating ice is to shave into snowy
flakes by means of a plane and swal-
low it with sweetened water into which
various appetizers may be thrown, such
as fruit juice or sweetmeats, says the
Japanese Advertiser. Ice cream, milk
and eggs shaken with ice, and other
kinds of cooling beverages are sold in
an ever-increasing quantity, but the old
style of eating ice-that is, in the
above described "korimidZu" fashion
is still In the greatest vogue. Every
summer finds the number of kori shops
swelling at an enormous ratio.

Great Heat Loss on Ocean
Ships Is Held Unavoidable.

On all seagoing steamers the steam
is condensed by sea water pumped
through the surface condensers. This
circulating water is then discharged
overheard. In the process of conden-
sation the cooling water, taken in at
temperatures varying form 80 to SO
degrees Fahrenheit, according to eli
matte and other conditions, is raised to
temperatures varying from so to 100
degrees and then discharged.
This great loss of heat is practically
unavoidable, says the Popular Science
Monthly. Even on comparatively small
steamers hundreds of tons of heated
water are pumped overheard daily.
This constitutes one of the greatest
heat losses in the operation of steam
machinery, although sometimes por-
ton of the war water is used for scrub
bling decks and for bath water on pas
senger ships.

Some SuperstitlonS That
Have to Do With Love and
Marriage Refuse to Die.

No superstitions persist more strong
Iy than those which concern love. Many
people who In general understand the
absurdity of folk signs are yet some
what influenced by those which have to
do with the affections. Here are some
of the typical superstitions of love and
prospective marriage. 1t will be OBJ
served that the great majority apply
to the feminine rather than the mascu-
line sex.
If boy pulls hair from girls
head she will always love him. If a
girl buries boys hair and her own
together under stone he will love her
always. The wearing of wasp's nest
in girls clothes will cause her lovers
affection for her to increase.
If some one takes the combings from
your hair she will also take your sweet
heart. Similarly, if girl steps on your
heel she is trying to suFpiant you in
your sweetheart's affections. A boy
should not give his sweetheart a pair
of shoes. for. If he does, she will walk
away from him.

POULTRY POINTERS :

Two weeks is long enough to fatten
fowl if highly fed.
Late Matched chicks should be fed
by themselves, not with larger stock.
No man can raise poultry and pro-
duce eggs at so low a cost as the
farmer.
Store away some oats, wheat or rye
in the sheaves for the use of the hens
In the winter.
Both hens and pullets need to be well
cared for during the fall months II
winter eggs are wanted.
Fowls should never be kept in such
quarters that they cannot take sufil-
cient exercise TO promote digestion.
Repair the poultry house if eggs
are desired in winter The first cold
weather should find all in good condi-
ton.
1t does not pay to kill and sell
young turkeys until they are well de-
veloped.
Young ducks that are to be kept for
sale as breeders should have plenty
of range and two fair feeds each day.
Do not feed small chicks with big
ones, or the latter will get most OF
the feed and the smaller ones most OF
hungry.
