Reply to Hirsch's Charge
Observation-Disclosures
Superintendent Adheres to
Contention City Cannot
Control School Affairs

Controversy between Mayor Hylan
and DR.. William L. Ettinger, City
Superintendent of Schools, over the
Mayors demand that the boards record
be submitted to the city for examina-
tion and Dr. Ettinger's refusal to sub
NIT to the demand yesterday brought
important developments. They are:
7 Replying to charges by Nathan
L. Hirsch, chairman of the Mayors
Committee on Taxation, that the city
superintendent does not want the
finances of the school system examined
because he receives, in addition to
$4,000 a year salary, large sums" as
ROYALTIES on textbooks, DR.. Ettinger
said his income from royalties does not
exceed $4,000 year. This sum comes
from the sale throughout the country
of series of school readers called
1.-The Progressive Road to Reading" Of
which DR.. Edgar D. Sinner, district
SUPERINTENDENT of Queens, and Geor-
gene Burchill, a retired school teacher,
are co-authors, DR.. Ettinger said. He
added he had no influence in the Use of
these books in the New York schools,
that every educator writes textbooks
and that it was no more wrong for a
school teacher to write books than it
would be for Mayor Hylan to write a
history of New York and receive pay
for it.

Grace and Charm of New Dance and Music Appeal
TO One Who Recalls Mrs. Astor's W WaItzes and
Is an Admirer of the Southern Variety

Jazz music and the "snimmy" COM
pare favorably to the entertainment
provided at the grand balls his rela
tive, the elder Mrs. Astor, used to give
a generation ago, says John Arm strong
Chaloner. Willing away the time until
his libel suit againsta new York even
ing newspaper is called for trial
Chaloner did Broadway Saturday night,
and yesterday he gave his impressions
of the cabarets to a reporter for The
Tribune.
The man whom an adjudication of
lunacy by the courts Of this state has
kept out of New York for twenty
years admitted he felt almost as
though transported to new world dur
ing his trip along the Great White
Way. But he liked it-for the most
part Whatever else may be said Of
Chaloner, he is versatile, and he under
took as nimbly and glibly as might be
the role of a critic OF Terpschore as
she was and is.
"ln my day here" he said, "the waltz
was the thing. [ recall we'll Mrs.
Astor's parties and those of the Patrl-
archs, attended by the -Four Hun
dred.'"
For just the fraction of second
Chaloner leaned back in the big arm
chair in his apartment at the Brevoort
and closed his eyes, visualizing the past
of which he spoke.
Dancers Resemble Peas
"Do you know.55 he resumed, "that a
ballroom of walters at Mrs. Astor's
for instance, resembled nothing TO the
artistic eye Of an initiate so much as
a LOT. Of meas on a shovel or flcas on a

His brow darkened for a moment.
The stored-up anger against those
whose activities have kept him an
exile for two decades seemed about
to burst forth in torrent of rage.
But he found an outlet for his feel

been conducting incessantly to con-

Supreme Court Justice Daniel i.
Cohaan was applaudcd by LOO police

Of the Holy Name Society of the Police
Department, he made an appeal for ac-
ton by the peace conference that would
bring liberty to Ireland.
The breakfast at the Hotel Commo-

Patrick's Cathedral. The Rev. John ].
Grogan, Catholic chaplain of the Police

which the men, headed by Deputy Com

in time would be broken through the
same failure to approximate interna-

past.
IF 'yo substitute one milltarism for

nor wholly, nor righteously just. The
principles of self-determination should
be applied to all oppressed peoples ali

we'll as any other nation"
Justice Cohalan said the trouble had
been that the world had refused to look
upon Ireland's appeals for liberty seri-
ously. The native wit of the lrshman,
he saiL mad made his lot lighter and
easier to bear, but that the injustice
of it was not one whit less.

During the last days Of February
from hill north of Verdun watched
the shells fall on the houses. some OF
which were burning. Besides, big fires
had been lit by the French in different
places so the smoke might hide the po
sition of the buildings. 1t seemed as if
some volcano were trying to burst its
way through the city.
81 can mention here the fine St.
Quentin church. For centuries there
has been a good congregation there and
in the neighborhood mission halls
stood. One of them now has a German
trench running right across it, not a
fighting trench, of course, but com
munication one. In all the villages and
towns near the front line trenches run
through the houses. What remained of
the walls and roofs hid the moving Of
men and the trench protected them
from most of the shelling."

TODAY'S AID TO BEAUTY.

Hair is by far the most conspic-

bly, the most easily damaged by bad
or careless treatment. If we are
very careful in hair washing. we will
have virtually no hair troubles. An
especially fine shampoo for this
weather, one that brings out all the
natural beauty Of the hair: that dis
solves and entirely removes all
dandruff. excess oil and dirt: can
easily be used at trifling expense by
simply dissolving a teaspOonful of
