How Music Is sold.

No single explanation was ever

Pay the Evening School Teachers
Promptly.

We are glad to give space to TIN
subjoined letter from an importan
member OF the most important publ
service force in the country:
ITO THE New YORK HERALD: we
are anxious to enlist the support OF
your very influential paper In an effort
TO secure the prompt payment of
evening school checks.
There was time when the day
school payrolls left the various school
offices on the Goth of the month and
the checks were generally ready for
distribution on the first OF the follow
ing month
1.-THE evening school payrolls leave
our offices on the last day OF the
month and the checks come along
III the course OF time. This irregu-
larity means q needless hardship and
embarrassment, for it is impossible
to contract to pay bills at any speci-
fed time.
what business house would be
allowed TO pay its employees almost
q month after completion Of services?
The unions would not tolerate such
state OF affairs, yet unions are con-
sidered by many ae unethical In our
profession.
The September payrolls reached
the teachers--through the police sta
tlons-October %.
IF the day checks can be ready IN
a shorter space of time why cannot
those OF the evening schools also?
IL. NJ. ELLIor.v
There cannot be two opinions abou
II delay Of twenty-five days in paying
the salaries of school teachers. Sucf
delay imposes grave hardships OF
them, hardships which 10 taxpaye,
and no city official wants school teach
ers or anybody else in the city's EN-
EGoy W uuueTbo.
Tho teachers ought to get thell
money promptly, and everybody WHIT
has to do with auditing the payroll,
and getting out the checks ought t
cooperate to pay them as quickly al
may be.
Comptroller CRAIG as CHIEF financia
officer of the city is undoubtedly q!
deeply interested in this matter as any
other citizen, and when he hears o.
the troubles the evening school teach
ers have had he will stir things VI
In way that will speed up the clerks

ROCKING CHAIR PHILOSOPHY
A Tip From New Hampshire for
Mothers With Fretful Babies.

To THE New YORK HERALD: Let me
add contribution to tho philosophy of
the rocking chair.
i knew boy in New Hampshire
whose mother told me that when he was
an infant no amount OF grooming and
smooth rocking would please him. But
when she sat In the chair with him In
her arms and put stick of WOOD under
tho rocker, 50 that they went bun,pty-
bump at every oscillation he was per-
fectly delighted and presently fell
asleep.
That child grew up to be an admira-
bic citizen. The last timo saw him he
was foreman OF n busy printing office
Mothers. IL your infants are fretful and
wakeful try stick OF wood under the
rocker.
This reminds mo that. Ms with mos.
minds OF !neditative cast. curious little
theories now and then spring up spon-
taneously in mine. For instance, I be-
lieve that the rocking chair was no,
originally intended TO rock. The backs
of the old fashioned chairs we're sonne-
times so straight that they leaped for
ward. and It was not graceful or dig
nihed to TIT them on their back legs,
except. of course. in barroom.

The Adriatic Controversy sest,ed.

An ArmlStice Day announcement
which was appropriate In that IL bore
promise OF peace TO southern Europe
was that made yesterday by the Ital-
ian Premier, GIoLlTTI, that settle
ment had at last been effected on the
main points of the Adriattc contro-
versy. The settlement of this two
year old dispute was brought about
through compromises made by the two
most interested countries and the ac-
ceptance and granting of concessions
on the part of their representatives,
the Premier and Foreign Minister
SroEzA for Italy and Premier
TauMBITcH aud Foreign Minister
SrEFANovrTcH for Jugo-Slavia. The
question has been on the way toward
settlement ever since the San Reno
and the Franco Italian conferences.
when it was freed from many Of the
complications which we're injected
into it by outside intermeddling and
interferences.
The status OF Fiume, the centre of
interest In the controversy, Is fixed,
according to the accepted agreement,
"as "A State entirely independent,
without control by the League OF Ma
! tlons." This disposition of the city
is in accord with the plans Of DAN
NuNzo, who still remains in control,
only so far as Flume shall be free
and without League control. In tho
Constitution which he published
August 81 lie used the designation the
Free State of Fiume," otherwise "The
Italian Regency of Quarnero." There
is nothing in the settlement, however.
to indicate that D'ANNUNzIo will con-
tlnue In control; there are signs that
he is not acceptable To Jugo-Slavia
and that italy will find herself con-
fronted with the same problem she
had In the past II she attempts TO
dlsposscss him.
The Istrian frontier. as determined
by the settlement, gives to Italy the
natural defence she has insisted upon
on the northeast In that II includes
the Julian Alps, Mount Jarvis and
Mount Ncvoso, two points referred TO
In the London treaty of April, 1915.
To Italy are also conceded the three
Islands at the entrance to the Gulf Of
Fiume, Cherso, Lussin and Unie,
which she claimed for strategic pur-
poses Zaza, the Dalmatinn coast town
which was seized by D'AvNUNzIo carly
in his control of Fiume, and which
has a preponderant Italian population,
Is TO have italian government. The
status OF certain other islands, which
possess strategic value. and the ques-
ton OF guarantees Of the protection
of Italian minorlties in Dalamatla
are left for future consideration.
In the question Of the Istrian
frontier, as well as in that regard
ing the territory around Fiume. the
provision giving to Italy the control
OF the railroad junction Of ST. Peter
Is of considerable importance. This
junction is OF the main railway from
Flume to Vienna and Budapest, and
Il is also connected with the direct
line from Trieste northward through

The Physical Condition Of the
President.

Two singulariy discrepant state
ments about Mr.. WILSON'S health
found circulation yesterday. They
were both attributed to persons who
ought TO know the truth.
In despatch from London Ambas-
sador DAVIS, who has just returned
to his post of duty after visit to this
country, is reported as saying that the
President lis much sicker than any
person has believed" Furthermore,
President WILSON fully realizes he is
not able to participate any longer In
politics" The cabled report of Am
bassador DAvIs's alleged utterances
ends with the entirely credible an
nouncement that Mr.. WILSON "plans
to retire TO an estate near Washing
ron when his term expires and spend
his time in writing"
We are Inclined to doubt that the
Ambassador has been understood
clearly or reported accurately by the
author OF this pessimistic bulletin.
In the first place, Mr.. JOHN W.
DAVIS is naturally so discreet per
son and so thoroughly in sympathy
with the efforts or the Presidents
immediate encourage to maintain a
cheerful prognosis in and out of the
White House, that he would scarcely
choose the occasion OF his landing In
England to issue so sensational and
50 disturbing an announcement. II it
were quite true that Mr.. WILSON is
sicker than any person has believed.
and IL Mr.. DAVIS knew 1t 30 be true,
lie would nevertheless be likely to
leave it to Admiral GRAYsoN to pro-
claim the circumstance.
In the second place, there comes
swiftly on the heels Of tho London
despatch a positive denial from Balm.
FRIDGE Colby that the Presidents con-
dition Is such as to warrant the ap.
prehensions suggested by that report.
The Secretary Of State is personally
close to Mr.. WILSON aud presumably
in frequent Intercourse with him. IL
was only last Friday TINT with other
members Of the Administration Mr.
Colby sat at the Cabinet table, with
Ir. WILSON presiding. Mr.. Colby
does not merely discredit (as we have
,lone) the authenticity Of the Davis
Interview. He goes further and ex-
presses the opinion that "the Presi-
dent is steadily gaining" 81 happen
to know" he adds. president W.T.
SONS condition is source of salts
faction 10 his friends, md his gain
In health for some months past has
been steady and unobstructcd."
Both in respect OF relative CREDIBLE
ity and because It wants to hear good
news of Mr.. WILSON'S health THE
New York HERALD prefers to accept
fhe Secretary's statement rather than
that attributed to the Ambassador.
An overwhelming majority OF our fell
low citizens have just pronounced
against Mr.. WILSON'S Administration
and many Of the Wilsonian policies
and deeds. But there cannot be any
American worthy of a moments con-
sideration who would not rejoice TO
hear that the President was well
along on the way to completely re-
stored health and happy in the pros
pect Of the retirement and leisure
which will permit the historical and
literary labors which naturally be-
long to the evening Of his distln.
