Travel Mania.

The number of Italians who want
to leave the United States Is large,
and the departing host is regulated
only by the capacity Of the steamship
lines. In Italy there is a tremendous
demand for accommodations on west
bound ships. American passport reg
ulations prevent a great many aliens
from coming to this country. but the
movement has already attained pro-
portions compelling attention from
the Italian Government.
Numerous plausible explanations
have been advanced to account for
the desire Of so many men who are
here to be elsewhere, and Of men now
elsewhere to come here. They search
for friends and kin from whom they
were cut of during the war; they
hope to better their condition; they
have earned enough here to be cap
'italists in the place Of their birth ;
they would come here to amass cap
,,ital. All of these factors must be
weighed In studying the world move
iment. And there is another influence
(which should not be ignored.
Travel mania possesses the people
tof the United States certainly; OF
other countries probably. For more

INWooD SPEEDWAYS.
There the Fast Riding Motorists Open
Their Throttles Wide.

To THE EDITOR OF THE SuN-Str: Just
why so many automobilists use the high
ways of Inwood as speedways Is mys-
terry to people living in the district. They
menace the children who play in the
streets and who have n feeling Of Sc
curity that Is unknown to the little ones
living In more congested districts.
It appears as II many drivers OF high
powered cars have reserved their speed
for Inwood and they are showing the
residents of the district just how fast
their machines can travel and still keep
four wheels on the ground They are
also showing that child OF an adult has
no possible chance of escaping injury
or death IL he be unfortunate enough to
wander into the path Of a fast moving
machine.
Vermilyea avenue and Dyckman street
are two thoroughfares that seem to lure
the drivers of cars on to their best ef-
forts. The reason is that vermilyea
avenue runs parallel with Broadway and
the traffic Is sometimes SO heavy on
Broadway that many drivers swing east
into vermilyea avenue and drive along
that thoroughfare. OF late there have
been many near accidents and mothers
have become so apprehensive that they
refuse to allow their children out of
sight.
Dyckman street Is a trap for pedes-
TRANS who try to cross without great
caution. High powered cars glide by In
a cloud of dust and rush Of air.

litical machine for years not only as q
Tammany Senator but as a member

The Office Of Surrogate has n dig
nifty equal to that Of the Supreme
Court. 1t never should be q place Of
political reward. Its relation to the
people is even more intimate. more
important, than that Of the Supreme
Court; for the Surrogate has the de-
cision In matters which relate closely
to the private welfare of individuals
and families. The care Of the for
tupes of the dead and the guardian

courts Of the Surrogates.
We do not believe that the people

A Local Political Party United Only
on Silence.

A Grand Jury declares to a Demo
cratic Governor that Il Democratic
District Attorney shielded Demo
cratic Mayor and Democratic edi-
tors employee from examination.
The Democratic Governor, who is
making war of his own on the Dem
ocratic editor and. whose political al
lies are at odds with the Democratic
Mayor, declines to supplant the Dem
ocratic District Attorney with spe
cial counsel.
SMITH is against HEABsT and per
haps Tammany Is against HYLAN, but
SWAMI. a Tammany man, is not to be
superseded by reason Of the charge
that he favored HEARST and HyLAN.
What delicate political shadings-
nuances, they would say in Greenwich

distracting that the observer Is likely

BROWN SUGAR.
when Refined Il Is . Real Food, Not
Mere Fuel

To THE EDITOR OF THE SUN-Sr: A
paragraph in THE Suns columns puts
the question "How about the light brown
sugar Of our boyhood dsysT' The ques-
ton Is pertinent Refined brown sugar
contains the mineral salts that are re-
moved in the manufacture OF white
sugar. These mineral elements are COM
bined with acids to which the term
"vitalised" may be applied--that is. they
are absolutely necessary in the processes
OF converting food into body tissue.
White sugar. it Is true. Is nearer to
chemical purity than any other foodstuff
which comes into the household; 1t never
theless is a robbed food and is compa-
rable to polished rice, white -four and
pearied barley. Robbed foods unfortu-
nately are preferred by many--perhaps
an overwhelming majority-with the re-
suit that diseases depending on nutrition
are alarmingiy on the increase. 1t is
true that new brown sugar Is objection
able because OF its content OF dirt and
fragments OF itch mites; refined brown
sugar, on the other hand, is a true food
Refined white sugar Is not a food : 1t Is
merely q fuel OBSERVER.

Pleman, Pieman. Who Gets All
the Plums?


The Tammany braves who don't get
a fair share of pie go about the streets
and denounce the pieman to all who
will listen. They declare that If they
can't have pie they can see no reason
why they should work to get pie for
others to eat. Consequently they
threaten not to bring any more pie to
Tammany Hall.
Naturally this disturbs the pieman,
who has been getting a great deal Of
rich, nutritious, palatabie pie, and
eating all of it with glad cries Of
after me you come first" For a
long time the industrious braves who
lug the pie TO the wtgwam thought
this meant they were to have a share
of the pie. But they have learned
that after the pieman has finished
with the pie they have brought In
1t makes no difference whether they
come first or last, because there Is
not crumb left
The capacity Of the pieman for pie
is astonishing. He can eat a ton OF
pie a day without surfeit. He has
an appetite for all kinds of pie-gams
pie, deep dish pie, kivered and criss
cross pie. He is not overparticulal
about the quality of the crust or the
flavor of the filling. He prefers tht
rare and flaky crust, of course, bu
he does not spurn the leathery crust
There's good chewing In It'll" ex
claims the pieman as he cuts ant
swallows.
II occasionally the pieman woult
leave a little piece Of pie for tn,
braves who gather pie and turn 4
over to him the braves would at leas
have hope to feed on. But never /
vestige of pie gets away from the pie
man. Even In bad pie year he con
sumes all the pie, though the quallt!
is not tempting TO fastidious folk.
Hitherto the Tammany braves hav,
been allowed to sniff the aroma of tn,
pie they brought in, but 1t is now re
ported that a new system is to b,
adopted under which the pieman vii

the registered men. This year they
are 123, 900 fewer. OF course the men
back from the army increased the
male registration, which is up $4,000
from 1918, but why did the registra-
tion of Brooklyn women fall OF nearly
20,000f The situation In Manhattan
Is hardly better, the women losing
1900 in registered strength where
the men gained $1,000.
Perhaps 1t is that the women take
less interest now than they did when
an office whose holder Is much In the
limelight was mt stake. Last year,
the occasion of their first vote, they
had the making of a new Governor.
Many Of them have yet to learn that
lesser Offices, such as are to be filled
this year, are sometimes more i'm
portant to the individual than the
State Executives office can be. A
Surrogate who passes on estates and
the care of children; President OF
the Board of Aldermen and a Bor.
ough President who sit In the Board
Of Estimate and help to make the
city budget and thus affect rents
Judges the importance of whose Sc
lection goes without saying-these are
officials in whom women as well as
men should be interested.
Calling attention to the obvious can
not now put on the rolls the womer
who neglected to register; but 1t car
remind the women who did register
that they should complete their duty
by voting. Before woman had suf
frage the political party with the bet
ter issue relied upon the independent
voter for victory. When the ballot
privilege was given to the women Il
was assumed that a great new mora
force was at hand. But when two
thirds Of the women who are eligible
to vote refuse or forget to register tn,
situation Is worse than ever, for tn.
wives of the strictly machine voters
do not refuse or forget.
1t Is disappointing to observe tina
women, after having seen last yea
how easy it Is to share the francois,
privilege, are not taking full advan
tage Of It. Voting is not only a duty
II Is a good deal Of a habit. 1
women will ignore the ballot In a yea
like this, with so many opportunitie
to keep Tammany out Of the cit,
treasury, will they go to the poll
next year, when Presidency win b
at stake, or the year later, when
Mayor is to be chosen? Or will the.
leave the balance of power In the cit.

What's the matter with the LADIES' i?
In this city their registration is $4,000
less than it was in 1918 If the newly

bers to the places of registration last
year the present slump would be more
easily explained. But last year only
about two-thirds Of the women who

1t not to be expected that some of the

either through patriotism, curiosity or
the wish to do what Mrs. Nextdoor
had done?
But the fact is unacceptable that the

reason or another they have not been
able to go about as they wished. II
they went abroad they went on Sc

or on public affairs. II they wanted
to traverse their own countries they
found unusual, perhaps insuperable
difficulties In their way. The nomadic
instinct has not been gratified. Row
ing has been suppressed. The release
Of the world from restraint has nat
urally caused an outburst OF wan
dering. Five years of travel must
be crowded into n few months Of
peace.
In this country travel has reached
proportions never attained before.

1T SOUNDS GOOD.
A New Jersey Employer Advertises r
Change In Policy.

To THE EDITOR OF THE SUN-Sir:
am enclosing a clipping of an advertise
ment which appeared in recent issue
of the Newark Evening NeUs.
There Is something no truly American
about this advertisement that I fnd
satisfaction in reading 1t over and over.
Not all employers can be 30 discrimi-
mating in the selection of labor, but
wish those who could would utilize SINH
lar opportunities to bring home to work
men these points, that real Americans
are at a premium.
There is no place for Bolshevism in

to employ labor Is certainly within his
full rights in insisting upon maintaining
