FATHER RETURNS

AFTER 46 YEARS

ALLENTOWN. Pa. Feb. 2l.-After
over forty-six years separation. Mrs.
Alfred !. George, wife of a hurseman,
Of this city. and her father, Daniel J.
Eyrich, until recently a resident OF
Freeport, Ill. were reunited at the
formers home today.
When Mrs. George responded TO a
summons at the door and faced a
seventy-year-old man who announced
that he was her father and attempted
to embrace her. she thought him men
tally unbalanced. but by means Of a
scar that the caller said his eighteen
month-oId girl had on the back OF
her neck when he last saw her and
other evidence he soon established the
relationship.

proportion of accidents; there are
about six in fifty in the fully record
ed examples.
Fear Seldom a Cause.
1t is curious that fear alone is sell
d. n the cause; at any rate it is sell
dom acknowledged in the aviator's
confessions. 1t is clear, however. that
many OF the cases OF loss Of head are
related to fear.
There is the statement that the
examinations of the eyes and Of the
balancing power are most useful. But
after reading this instructive investi-
cation the conviction is forced on the
mind that the value OF these tests is
not all on the credit side. The Ameri-
can examination is noted for its
searching character. Apparently the
skill OF the tight rope walker is the
ideal. But English authorities treat
the elaborate tests in balancing and
dizziness with polite incredulity. A
man with nerves Of a circus rider or
baseball player may be a good aviator.
On the other hand, he may not have
the faculty OF prompt decision and
action in the control Of a powerful
aeroplane. Whatever may be the out
come, II seems likely that the United
States have added one more cause to
their delays by making the medical
examination OF aviatOTs such an eN-
trG ordinarily fine sieve. Some authoTi
ties in Europe regard it as too fine.

BRITISH 4WRENS"
PREPARE TO AID
NAVY DURING WAR

LONDON. Feb. 2I.-RecruitinE for
the Women's Royal Naval Service has
been begun. There seems to be little
doubt that this new service. already
/ known as the 'Wrcns." Will prove
the most popular OF all: and its di-
rector is Dame Katherine Furse,
whose work with the V. y. D., OF which
she was until lately chief command
ant. won her the love and respect OF
many thousands Of women.
The "Wrens" will be comparatively
few. compared with the womens
army auxiliary corps: at present only
from 10000 to l2.0OO are called for,
and il is unlikely that any will be
wanted for foreign service. The
whole formation will be based on
that of the W. \. \. g. whose army
council instruction has afforded Dame
Katherine Purse much help in draft
ing her fleet orders. The pay OF
both services will be the same, and
the rates OF the ". \. \. c. are now
being revised with a view to certain
increases. The description OF the
ratings, however. will be different.
The directors assistants Will be call
ed deputy and assistant directors,
and the women corresponding TO pet
ty officers will be known as princi-
pals ana section leaders.
An attractive kit FOR all ranks has
been designed. The director and her
assistants will wear a nav b.ue coat
and skirt. with brass naval buttons
and graded rings Of Patrick's blue on
the sleeves TO denote rank; a black
cooked hat with handsome badge Of
Patrick's blue and silver. and white
blouse and collar and black tie will
complete the uniform. which will be
purchased out OF the grants made TO
officers. The ranks CORES pOnding to
petty officers will wear a pilot jacket
with black naval buttons and skirt
cut in neat straight lines. They will
also wear a navy blouse and round
sailors cap with black band with ".

New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1918-03-10

The packing of the Hillqut vote in
particular sections of the city, instead
of its being spread over, IS, then, the
first noteworthy thing about it, and
helps to indicate the seriousness Of the
situation. But much more important
matter awaits us. This is the determi
nation, so far as is possible, of the ele-
ments that make up the population Of
these sections. We are not able to
ascertain from any official source the
racial or national constitution of the
smaller election districts, but we may
learn something with respect to the
larger Assembly districts. In the Fed
eral census Of 1910 statistical ar
rangement is made of these districts
according to the country of the nativity
of the Inhabitants or of that of their
parents. Though since that time the
city has been redstrictel, it is still
possible to find what present election
districts are embraced in the former
Assembly districts, and thus to discover
the main national affiliations of the
population contained therein.
Of the 335 election districts carried
by Mr.. Hillquit, 275, or more than four
fifths of all, are located in thirteen
former Assembly districts, each having
ten or more-sufficient as & rule to be
a determining factor. Six of such dis
trcts are in Manhattan, four in Brook
Ign, and three in the Bronx (The last
named borough is to be regarded as of
lesser relative Importance, having only
one-tenth of the city's population,
though it has nearly doubled since).
Moreover, of the remaining sixty cleo
ton districts won by Mr.. Hillquit,
forty-one, or two-thirds, are contigu-
Gus to those in the assembly districts
mentioned, indicating a similar demo-
graphic constitution, and making 3l6.
or 94.3 per cent, of his election districts
accounted for. Of the 213 election dis
tricts giving him a majority Of all the

political division of all, which are
severally intended to meet the needs
of about 800 voters, though often
answering for 400 or more, and some
times for 200 or even less. There are
to an Assembly district, as a rule,
about go election districts, or few
less, though occasionally the number
may go to 40 or more
In the election Of 1917 Mr. Hillquit
obtained a plurality in 335 election
districts, of which 1919 were in Man
haitian, lO7 in Brooklyn, 96 in The
Bronx and 3 in Queens-or, in all,
about one seventh of the total number
Of election districts in the city. The
black spots on the accompanying map,
prepared according to the boundary
lines of these districts, show the parts
captured by him. With few scat
tered units, this vote is seen to be
massed in five great centres, the cleo
ton districts of which were practi-
cally solid for him. The first is the
lower East Side of Manhattan, the
area south of Fourteenth Street and
cast of the Bowery. The second is a
group hugging close the northeastern
corner Of Central Park The third is
the Williamsburg section Of Brooklyn,
just across the East River from the
lower East Side Of Manhattan. The
fourth is comprised in what is known
as the Brownsville section, in the east
ern part of Brooklyn. The fifth COW
ers the eastern portion of The Bronx.
Of the 1886 election districts, further
more, giving Mr.. Hillquit plurality,
2l3, or very nearly two-thirds, gave
him a majority as well-more votes
than were cast for all the other can
didates together-95 being in Man
haitian, 70 in Brooklyn and As in The
Bronx These districts are found
almost entirely in the five sections
! Just enumerated.
