A VERlTABLE avalanche Of letters indorsing The
"A Evening Worlds recommendation OF an ord-
nance requiring sharp shoes for horses indicates the
widespread approval of such measure. Any Alder
man Skeptcal of the popular demand for such legSla
ton has only TO examine the heap of unsolicited letters
received at this Office which may not be published for
lack of space Better yet, let him inquire among his
own constituents The demand IS not confined to any
class, creed age or sex 1t we'll nigh universal. 1t
is safe to say that nine persons out Of ten would favor
this help to horses.

TOO MANY DIVORCES.

A N increase of more than 50 per cent. in divorce
a cases in New York County is recorded by a COM
parson of figures for 1913 and 1919 There is food
for serious thought in this record.
Many reasons will be advanced. Reasons ascribed
will vary with Inc social economic and religious views
Of those who air their opinions Some few will even
view this a desirable condition. No one reason can
cover all the factors Two Supreme Court Justices
have been quoted in the press on this subject These
gentlemen surely are in position to make valuable OBJ
seNationS.
Justice Greeubaum is quoted as aScribing the high
total of divorce cases mainly to the increase of mar
rages the greater freedom of the younger generation
and the weakening of home ties.
Justice Davis attributes the increase largely to the
relaxation of religious ties and "the failure to observe
the religious obligations assumed at marriage"
County Clerk William F. Schneider advances the
opinion that the large number of soldiers who rushed
into marriage on the eve Of departure may have helped
10 swell the total.
Another possible explanation is that a considerable
number of the so-caed Stacker marriages" contracted
in hopes of evading the draft aye turning out about as
expected wave of divorce from this cause was
anticipated at the time when yellow ribbons figured
seBationally in nuptial decorations,
Here is an opportunity for student to make social
study of real value by tracing back and classifying the
1919 divorce list. Such compilation would lend some
interesting answers. How many 1917 marriages broke
in 1919? In how many of these did the bridegroom,
serve in France? In how many cases were claims o.
exemption advanced? How many Divorces were iva
brides" and how many Stacker bridegooms"

SOLDIER INSURANCE READIUSTED.

D EVlSiON OF the Governments policy in regard to
IN payments on soldier life insurance policies was
certain 10 come. The only mysteries were how Con-
greSs and the War Risk Bureaus ever contrved in the
first place 10 arrive at unjust settlement of nsur
ance sold to soldiers in good faith and why read
justment has been delayed so long
The plan in effect during Rehabilitation offered a
policy in which the face value was $4,000 On this
payments were made in 24o monthly installments of
$3.50 each, total of only $4,000. The annual total
Of 5000 was scarcely more than the income from
conservative investment of $4,000 Dissatisfaction
and the dropping of policies was natural consequence
Now that payment is offered in lump sum or in install

many veterans will avail themselves of reinstatement

The new scale of payment will be examined with
care and if it does not compare favorably with the
inducements offered by private concerns then another
REVISION will be necessary.
When the United States went into the war the insur-
ance measures we're recommended as desirable alter
native to pension system. Soldiers took insurance
without careful investigation because they relied on the
good faith of the Government and believed that
$4,000 in Federal insurance meant $4,000 just as
certainly as in any private company Good faith and
common decency demand that the Government live

made should be revised to compare with annuilie,
which private concerns will sell for that sum.
Incidentally these veterans or any civilians who hav,
insurance, may make doubly certain the comfort o.

ance money shall 80 to a trustee, with the direction
that he invest it in reliable annuity for the surviving

DetormitIes From MaInutrItion.

Practically all varieties OF malnu-
triton occurring during infancy and
early childhood tend to terminate in
ricketts,, a disease characterized by
softening of the bones and consequent
deformity. The essential feature Of
ricketts,, says DR., L. Pritchard in the
British Medical Journal is the want Of
Qualification or naturalization Of de-
Vcloping bone, and this, in it's turn, is
due to the existence Of requirements
for calcium, which for the time being
are more urgent than those Of de-
veloping bone. These urgent require
ments are the necessity for neutraliz-
ing acid bodies in the blood; in other
words, to neutralize or compensate
an existing acidoss. DR., Pritchard
argues that all chronic conditions OF
malnutrition. OF whatever kind or
from whatsoever cause arising, finally
terminate in an acidosis-all OF which
means that children who do not get

TELEPHONES IN SUBWAYS.

A FTER almost generation of talking about tele-
"A phones in subway and elevated stations, ii be-
gins to seem probable that eventually we may be able
to talk through the telephones Judging by the DELAYS
in installing instruments in private homes there is no
reason to expect service in subways Immediately.
The need for such service is SO evident that is hard
to excuse the seemingly nterminable delay The little
white tiled holes in the wall in new subway stations
have caused unlimited curiosity to those who did moi
know their purpose, and unlimited aggrayaon to those
who did and wanted to use the telephone.
According TO the agreement transmitted by Commits
sioner Delaney the booths are to be within the subway
gates Is there any good reason why the Interborough
the B. R. T. and the telephone company should not
favor the public by installing other booths outside the
gates' In outlying sections of the city where pay sta
lions open at night few, far between and hard ia
find, these booths would meet real need in cases OF
emergency calls. There is no reason that the public
should be forced to pay for unused subway ride tc
