Crullers and Doughnuts.

To THE EDITOR OF THE SUN-Sir: Can
any OF your readers enlighton me as
to the distinction between crullers and
doughnuts? My aunt, who 10 from New
England. defines a doughnut as a ring
shaped piece of raised dough fried in
fat, and cruller as a similar piece
made with baking powder instead OF
yeast My wife. who is from the West,
declares that tho true doughnut cor
responds to my aunt's cruller. that my
sunt's "doughnut" is really a raised
doughnut" and that the cruller is never
ring shaped but IL made In straight
lengths and fancy twists and quins. Is
either right? d.

ANOTHER ELIZABETH.
The Great Lady Whose Name Is
Borne By q New Jersey Town.

To rHs EDITOR OF THE suN--sir: THE
Jersey town named after the high col
Jared Queen of England" In the way the
goodly hamlet Of Elisabeth Town, now
grown to the proportions Of no mean
other day. This Is wrong.
Elizabeth Town was named in honor
OF that gracious lady who sometime
lived on the Isle of Jersey and was the
consort of the gallant cavalier and brave
loyalist Sir George Carteret, who u de-
scribed as 1.-THE Right Honorable Sir
George Carteret Knight and Baronet.
ce-Chamberlain In his MaJesty's house,
hold. and one of his Majestys most
honorable Privy Council, Lord Proprie-
tor Of the country or Province of Nova
C@sarea or New Jersey"
His defence of the Isle Of Jersey against
Cromwell. his devotion to the first
Charles, and his adherence to the 'Mer-
rio Monarch" show how New Jersey
inherited its steadfastness.
The stately Lady Elizabeth, who. with
her husband, graced that lively. grace
less court, was q very great lady indeed.
with whom, as Samuel Pepys says, It
was an honor to be seen as she swept
along, her train borne by q group Of
pages. She, notwithstanding her strict
loyalty to the throne, doubtless would
have been greatly grieved had she
thought that she. an honored wife and
mother, should be confused with the
ono who must have been the original Of
the bachelor girl as now defined.

BACK TO OLD PRINCIPLES.
Judge Story's Commentaries" q Good
Text Book for Americans.

To THE EDITOR OF THE SuN-sir:
must congratulate you on the sptness
of your quotation from Judge Story's
Commentaries" on the Constitution.
AS you know this book was first pub
lished at time when the Democratic
party made much trouble with our laws,
and was republished in 1850. when the
Democratic party again made oceans
of troubles for us,
Judge Story's book should have been
reruolished IN 1918 and placed in every
school In the land for the instruction
Of the pupils. old and young. The DEM
ocrats for the third time have played
hob with our laws and the despotio
form Of our Government at present Is
owing to the fact that tho people IN
America do not understand the laws
Of tnis wonderful country.
NrwBuRGH, April 4. OLD TIMER.
The sun. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1916-1920, 1919-04-05

In theory no better plan than the
one suggested by the Police Depart
ment to combat the rampant evil OF
parking cars for long periods IN
crowded thoroughfares could have
been proposed. But since the method
by which the Offenders who leave cars
unattended shall be punished entails a
claiming together Of the wheels of the
forsaken automobile, and the depart
ment admits that this reprehensible
habit Of blocking traffic by deserted
machines is extensively INDUCED
in by New Workers. what is going to
DO the practically feasible scheme of
carrying about in each district enough
chains. and chains large and strong
enough, to fasten about not slender
auto wheels2 There Is humor in the
vision Of traffic copper perambulat-
ing through New York streets. over
loaded with chains, padlocks and keys
in search Of orphan autos.

THE PARKING NUISANCE.
Chains q. Promising Cure for an Of
fence Common Among Motorists.

To THE EDITOR OF THE SUN-Sir: The
OF motor cars from parking. them in the
streets is not without merit and Is worth
a trial. But It will be rather amusing
to see motorcycle and bicycle policemen
and foot cops going about carrying
chains and padlocks with which to Sc
euro the deserted machines.
Seriously speaking, however. those
who are acquainted with the actual con-
ditlons realize that the time has arrived
when drastic action must be taken
against the owners of automobiles who
imagine tho public streets are at their
unrestricted disposal. The abuse COM
planned Of Is not limited to any particu-
lar part of the city; one can see autos
left standing for long periods IN the
residential sections as we'll as in the
business sections. And conditions are
as bad in Brooklyn as in Manhattan.
Whoever suggested the scheme to lock
tho wheels of the parked autos deserves
commentator. Unless the owner sban-
dons the machine altogether It will be
necessary for him to go to the nearest
station house. accept a summons to APP
pear in court, receive a key with which
TO unlock the chains and get some good
advice besides. The support OF the city
magistrates is assured in a crusade of
this kind. and with their cooperation
the police will soon clean up the situa-
ticn.
All that is necessary Is to fne the
offenders first rounded up. give the mat
ter some publicity. and 1t Is certain that
the man who is tempted to leave his
car standing for long time will think
twice before doing so. PEDESTRIAN.

which, according TO a Washington re-
port, are pouring into the War and
Navy departments Of the Government.
The writer's tell of marvellous inven-
lions submitted by them for winning
the war and set up claims for recogni-
ton and compensation.
The governmental policy Of secrecy
in such matters has kept each of these
claimants 1oundering in doubt. He Is
not certain whether or not 1t was his
invention that made guns or gas so
deadly, that beat the submnrin or
that was responsible for the ultimate
defeat Of the German on the Western
front and thus won the war.
The formal and somewhat perfume
tory acknowledgment by the depart
ment Of the receipt of an invention or
plan seems to have been the cause OF
considerable Misunderstanding in this
matter. Although this acknowledge
ment was In the nature Of the notice
accompanying rejected manuscript,
It was accepted by many recipients
as an obligation on the part of the
Government to pay.
More candor IN Government corre-
spondence, 1t is suggested, might have
been used. In light of present cir
cumstances, 1t might have been bet
ter to have employed some of the
blunt common sense Of the General in
the civil war to whom was submitted
a plan for floating balloon with the
wind to drop load of explosives
upon the enemy's defences. But sup
pose the balloon hoated back over our
own lines" was the Generals query
that squelched inventor and invention
then and there.
Most of the inventions, the Army
and Navy Register says, "were found
useless, the best and most practical
having been anticipated by many
months, If not years" Two inven-
tons, however, that proved useful In
winning the war were submitted in
this way. One was the plan of n
Georgian for a short rapid firing
weapon with a special load and which
became known as "the trench gun" A.;
the other was the plan. conceived by a
Western ranchman and submitted to
the British Government, Of covering
a tractor with steel plate and convert
Ing 1t into that powerful engine Of
war, the tank.

ATTENTION, AVIATORSi
Here Are tho Best Periods for the
Transatlantic Flight.

To THE EDITOR OF THE SuN-Sn: The
storms caused by the planet Mercury
repelling or forcing the earth outward
from the sun this spring occur IN tho
period between March 81 and April g..
The storms caused by Uranus begin
after May 81. Between April . and
May 81 there are no planets.
The period from April Is to May 81
will have fewer storms than usual this
year. These will be caused by the
moon passing between the earth and
planets or stars. The principal storms
OF this period will be between April 80
and May s.
Therefore tho best period OF weather
for the first transatlantic airplane trip
will be between April 10 and 20; and
the next between May 0 and q.

than even the New England guards
men. the Fifth Regulars or General
ORYAN's division.
Yet we are informed by an official
Of the War Department that 1t is
very doubtful whether the only city
in America which sent a division to
the front will be permitted to see that
division parade And IL the War De-
partment plans to suppress the recep-
ton which New York is eager to ex-
tend to the Seventy presum-
ably 1t will pursue the same policy
toward parade here of the Rainbow
Division.
1t is possible that New York would
make itself satisfied, II not content,
with view Of that part of the Rain
bow Division which is peculiarly met
ropolitan; but there is no such feeling
about a parade Of the Seventy-sev-
enth. 1t is not a matter Of the East
Side, which yielded $4,000 of it's men
to the war machine, or of the West
Side, where the starred flags hang
patiently in the windows Of McNally's
Flats and Belshazzar Court. 1t Is a
matter Of a whole city eager to do
homage to the men who laid aside
the pleasant life Of peace and went
dutifully to battle.
The excuse given by Adjutant- Gen.
eral HARRIS Of the War Department
in his letter forecasting the depart
ment's refusal to permit the Metro
politan Division to parade is that such
celebration would compel the hold
ing Of the men in the camps; that
the parade Of the Twenty-seventh had
delayed rehabilitation and cost the
Government $1,0O0,OO0. We believe
that the men of the Seventy seventh
would gladly wait Q few days or a
few weeks in camp in order that
their friends pride. If not their own,
might be gratified. But If there is
not room enough in the near by camps
to hold the division until its last man
has arrived from France, Is 1t not
possible to permit the men to 60 to
their homes on leave until the parade
Are there a dozen soldiers Of these
$4,000 who would fail to turn up for
this day Of days7
So far as the expense is concerned,
let us remember that the Administra-
ton. through Mr.. CREEL and other
channels, spent Heaven knows how
many millions for foreign propaganda.
Would not another million be a good
investment in propaganda at home
What finer inspiration and education
could there be for certain elements

ion than the triumphal march up

"The League" or Only ga League"!

We are at loss to know exactly
what our neighbor the World means
when 1t remarks editorlally:
THE amendments are being made
in Paris. where they ought 80 be
made, and II is the American people
themselves who will determine the
ratification Of the treaty. This Is
to be their league and not the Sem
ate's league"
1t was cur somewhat old fashioned
notion that so far as law can be made
for the United States by concluding a
treaty with foreign nation the fsnc-
ton Is vested In the Senate of the
United States and not in the popular
vote. Further, that the place Of de-
cision as to what engagements shall
be entered into by treaty and what
proposed engagements shall be re.
iected as inadvisable is Washington
and not Paris.
But II by its seemingly revolution
airy utterances our esteemed nelghbor
merely means that the popular de-
mand in the country for the particu-
lar league Of nations desired by Pres
ident WILSON is so overwhelming that
Senators will be forced to raufy it,
whether their Judgment approves II
or not, we are compelled to doubt the
solidity of the Worlds information
on the subject.
\ similar but more truculently ex'
pressed assumption OF authority to
speak for public sentiment was con
tained in both the speech delivered
by Mr. WILSON in Boston just after
landing and In his New York address
just before departing again for Paris
How could he know in either instance
How can the World know? The only
conceivable indication Of public sen
timent at this time available are at
forded by the sleazy straw votes
which some periodicals favorable to
Mr.. WILSON'S specific proposals are
now instituting in the way, Of propa'
ganda. Our neighbor the World, as
an honest II often mistaken news,
paper. will note with stern disap,
proval that where these alleged polls
Of public opinion purport TO show a
majority favorable to the Wilson
scheme that majority has almost uni,
formly been obtained by a disingenu.
Gus expedient. The question addressed
to the straw voter refers not specif
cally to the Wilson league but gener
ally and loosely to any league de
signed to promote peace among na
tions. The wide difference between
the two things THE SUN has already
tried to make clear.
The World will observe also, what
President WILSON has apparently for.
gotten, that the only authoritative
and definite expression Of American
opinion concerning his particular
league Of nations was overwhelmingly
adverse to the proposal. It was rem
dered at the polls Just five month,
ago to-day, and by his own definite
statement in advance 1t pronounced
judgment upon his plan and repudi
ated his assumption of authority tc
speak for the American people.

of grim figures, the price paid by the
three divisions for their glory. We
