ss.4s PER $1,000 is STATE TAX

The state tax for 1917 is S3.43 per
81 900 assessed valuation.
This figure has been announced by
Auditor General Fuller. The total
valuation is $2,80O,0OO,O00 and the
total amount to be raised by state tax
is $1,000. 339.3 So
The figures do not vary much from
estimates made some time ago, al
though the rate is now fixed for the
first time officially.
According to Mr.. Fuller's figures,
30 counties will get more money out
of the primary school fund this year
than they will pay in state taxes.
This is about the average number of
counties so situated.

IL Have a Rendezvous With Death

To the Editor of The Tribune
Sir: The frst fruits in casualties of the
eager rush of young Americans to France are
just beginning to be reaped. The poignant
sorrow Of families which have lost their sons
and the chilled hearts of those with sons
about TO so overborne by shining pride
in the courage and self-forgetfuness OF these
bravest of our young men who "have a rem
devious with death"
The latest TO die, Corporal William Henry
Meeker, pilote amateur of the Lafayette Esca-
drille, will long be mourned By his Harvard
friends and by all who knew him. A clean,
straight college boy, choosing the most dan
gerous but seemingly the most effective way
70 help his country, his brief career will not
be in vain. Where he fell in France, and
where other brave American boys are to fall,
will forever be part of America sanctfed
with the blood Of martyrs TO liberty and hal
lowed by the death of heroes. Y
New York, Sept. IS, 1917.

Books for Our Soldiers

Stay-at-homes who read book occa-
sionally should not fail to do their part in
the raising of million dollars for the use
of the Library War Council, in conjunc-
ton with the American Library Associa-
ton, in furnishing reading for our fight
ing men abroad. 1t is a small sum COM
pared with the sl00,000,0O0 given for the
Red Cross and other sums being raised for
the Y. NJ. c. A., the tobacco fund and other
things. 1t is estimated that 81 contributed
to the fund, which is being directed by

Tests for Air,men

1t is remarked by "The Lancet" that the
medical examination of recruits in our air
service is notable for singular thorough
ness and sagacity," the requirements being
more exacting than those demanded by any
Of the other nations at war. The tests
vestibular apparatus are particularly COM
mended, inasmuoh as muscle sense and
vision are under many conditions of little
or no use to the airman in the maintenance
of equilibrium. According to "The Lam
cet," the United States government is prob
ably the first that has not depended wholly
on the opirion of army medical men in the
formulation Of tests, and it may be for
this reason that the tests are in some par
ticulars more rigid than those used in the
British and French services.
However that may be, it is safe to say
that the methods used at present are
largely experimental and will probably un-
tergo considerable modification, both here
end elsewhere. Flying is new art, and
It is only by long experience that the ideal
qualifications of an airman can be GER
tainly established. 1t is we'll known that
Until lately the tests applied here were
very crude, and it may be assumed that
the new method is attributable chiefly to
experience gained in the last two or three
years.
That the conclusions to be drawn from
experience are not yet commonly agreed
upon is abundantly apparent in the varied
emphasis laid by Independent observers on
the several qualities required in the max
ing of successful airmen. Many accounts
have been published of the extraordinary
nerve-shaking ordeals through which
French recruits are supposed to be put and
wonderful stories are told Of their rigid
teetotalism and so forth. These are for
the most part pure flights of fancy, but it
is quite true that the French 90 attach
considerable Importance to nervous stabil-
ty and that their medical tests are largely
governed by this requirement. On the
other hand, it is held by the British experts
that other disabilities are much more i'm
portant than nervous weakness or irrita-
blity.

What Is an Express Trainp

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: Would you inquire from the Inter
borough Rapid Transit Company what it
means by the term express trains"? The
only difference between the present express
and the local service seems to be that the
express trains do not stop at so many sta
tons.
As an illustration, left fremont Avenue,
l77th Street and Third Avenue, al 9 o'clock
sharp yesterday morning and arrived at City
Hall at $40. Returning, left City Hall at
1898 and arrived at fremont Avenue and
Nth Street at LIS. The down trip on a
so-called express took 40 minutes, and the
return trip on local train AZ minutes.
Was it not understood that, when the city
permitted the third tracking f the elevated
roads, the result would be an increase in the
rspidty of the service? The third tracking
has increased the capacity of the roads. but
why has there been no reduction In the run
ming time? QUINTUS GURUS.
