800 Reward, 800

The readers of this paper will
be pleased to learn that there is
at least one dreaded disease that
science has been able to cure in
all it's stages and that catarrh.
Catarrh being greatly influenced
by constitutional conditions re-
quires constitutional treatment.
Halls Catarrh Medicine is taken
internally and acts thru the
Blood on the Mucus Surfaces of
the System thereby destroying
the foundation of the disease,
giving the patient strength by
building up the constitution and
assisting nature in doing its
work. The proprietors have so
much faith in the curative pow
ers of HalPs Oatarrh Medicine
that they offer One Hundred
Dollars for any case that it fails
to cure. Send for list of testi-
monials.

Japan's Debt to China.
The Two Nations Compared as In,
ventors and DISCOVERIES.

TO THE NEW YORK HERALD: Louis
seibold In one Of the articles Of his won
derful series on the Japanese question
says very plainly that the Japanese look
upon the Chinese as inferior to them.
It would be mistake to take the Jap
anese view seriously.
1t would be easy to furnish evidence
that the Japanese have absolutely NO
ground on which to base their idea of
superiority. japan has originated moth
Ing. In art, literature. industry. many
inventions and advances can be trzssS
back and found to have been discovered
by the Chinese. China has been giving
out benefits to the human race for thou
sands Of years. II would be very difii-
cult for the Japanese to answer this
question. what useful thing have you
given the worldr'
There Is a great difference between
producing for mankind and making use
Of the productions of others. Even what
the Japanese call their art can be traced
back to Chinese origin. To my mind
the facts are enough to convince any
body that the Japanese viewpoint should
be reversed. EvxKErr w. CARLSON.

Luck of the Beginner.

That Dame Fortune plays favorites
now and then is shown by the man
ner in which she sometimes show
ers her gifts into the laps of begin
ners. Striking examples of this are
found in the racing world this sea-
son in England and this country.
MARSHALL FIELD of Chicago bought
the filly Golden Corn. by Golden Sun,
year ago, and she was recently ac-
claimed the best two-year-old on the
English turf when she won the
Champagne Stakes. one Of the his
toric tests Of the autumn racing.
Her sire is by Sundridge and her
dam is half sister to Corn Tassel,
the Santoi gelding imported by r.
T. WILSON, JB., which won the Subur-
ban Handicap in 1917 at Belmont
Park.
To make matters better the tickle
goddess guided the agent Of the young
American whose first venture It was
on the turf still further along the
pathway OF success when he selected
the colt Cistercian, considered a
youngster Of great promise and a
contender in some of the three-year-
old classics Of 1922. Golden Corn's
engagements next season include the
early classics for fllies--the Oaks
and the One Thousand Guineas.
Mr.. FIELDS good fortune Is paraI-

leled by that Of BENJAMIN BLOCH of
this city, who owns the crack two
year-old Norwich. The son of Run
nymede was his first venture In rae
ing and he could quit tomorrow with
a profit OF more than s135, 900 on his
investment, as the colts earnings to
date amount to nearly $4,000 and
there are several sportsmen who
would be glad to give 100000 or
more for Norwich. The horse repre-
sents an original investment of
$3.50 for a one-half interest and
later on $4,000 for the half held by
the trainer FRED BURIEw.
Mr.. FIELD has been liberal buyer
at the English sales Of yearlings in
the last six weeks. 1t Is to be hoped
that he will bring some of them to
the United States instead of racing
exclusively in England and France.
The growing stable of Mr.. FIELD and
that of A. X. MAcoMBER would be
welcome acquisitions to the Ameri-
can turf, which needs for It's exist
ence the periodical introduction of
new blood.

Raisins and Reasons.
Present Conditions Make Rice Pud-
ding Harder to Achieve.

To THE New YORK HERALD: Concern
ing your editorial article "Raisins and
Reasons" let me say that too. though
an obscure and volstead abiding citi-
zen. have noted the shortage In raisins.
One morning not so long ago / sent
my maid on several errands; included
on the list was the purchase Of pack
age of raisins. To my mind 1t was an
innocent order-raisins merely an In
gredient OF rice pudding.
The maid returned. much exasper-
ated. having tried three different shops.
all to no avail: "All out Of raisins
would currants do?" mo" To my un-
perturbed Volsteadic mind this seemed
odd. 1 sent her out again on the quest.
This time she returned. a most sorely
vexed young woman:
Sure. an didn't he look at me funny.

bad as all that. my girl. you can have
the box put by for me own use--cost
you 40 cents. though! l bought 'em.

why did he look at me SO? Amt he
never eat rice pudding?"

Married to His Motor.

husband spent four-afths of his wax.
ing hours tinkering with his motor
car. This is not a new vice, al
though this Is perhaps the first time
that it has led toward the legal part
ing Of married folk.
The habit Of trying to improve on
the automobile manufacturer grew
with the rise Of the car. Owners
whose passion for mechanics had
been inhibited for years found an
outlet for 1t at last. Dawn, sun6own,
Sundays and holidays found the tin.
ker tinkering. For every hour he
drove he tinkered twelve.
In the earliest days Of motor cars
the carbureter was the favorite VIC
tim of the mechanical maniac. If
he had neglected to put oil in the
crank case or gasolene in the tank
or air In the tires and the car went
badly or not at all, the carbureter
had to be adjusted. He primed,
flooded, drained and doctored It. And
years after carbureters were made
SO well that the owners could dis
regard their existence the maniac
went on adjusting"
There Is always something about
an automobile that an earnest man
can find to fool with. If he tires Of
playing with the carbureter there
are the commutator, the magnetic,
the battery, wilderness Of trans
mission, a jungle of wires, row Of
spark plugs, a goodly company Of
valves.
How many Sundays the inveterate
tinker has spoiled for his familyl
They sit, lunch box at hand, ready

is engaged in his weekly attack on
the morale of the helpless car. Ma
ture may be wonderful, but machin-
cry is marvellous.
Cautious girls will say to appli-
cants for their hand: Are you con-
tent to let our automobile run as the
maker intended 1t to, or are you one
of those tireless tinkers?"

Back of Relatively.
.Einstein's Search for the Law Of an
Ever Changing World.

To THE NEW YoRR HERALD: With
reference to the letter Of Mr.. Phillips on
ethics and relativity. 1t is quite true
that there Is a world Of relativity be-
hind phenomena. As Huxley said. I'VE
have to recognize the world Of reality
and the world Of phenomena"
Einstein is trying to find some law
which will explain the world OF phe-
nomena. This is impossible because the
words world Of phenomena" mean that
Il is a world Of changes and not per-
manent world like the world OF reality.
All schools of thought. the religious.
the scientific and the metaphysical. have
steadily been changing for centuries IN
their concept Of truth. This is because
we all form concept of the world Of
reality and we call that concept the
material world.
We shall never thoroughly understand
this material world because 1t is only a
false sense Of the real world. AS Plato
says, This world which appears to
the senses has no true being. but is only
a ceaseless becoming; II is and It is not,
and It's comprehension is not 80 much
knowledge as illusion"
A part of what we see is knowledge,
because all the good, the love, life, wis
dom, knowledge and beauty we see is
part Of tho real world. Sin, disease.
misery and suffering are caused by an
imaginary mist of matter which hides
the world of reality from us but which
is rapidly now disappearing through the
particles OF matter short circuiting them
selves. As DR.. Le Bon. our leading
physicist, says, all matter Is disappear
ing: what there Is at the back OF it I
do not know. r. L. RAwsoN.

perhaps as high as that in any other

perhaps as high as that in any other
European country.
Another interesting feature Of the
comparison Of the two periods Is con
tanned in the statement that In 1915
more than So per cent. of the popu
lation Of Germany was under rs years
of age while in 1919 the 50 per cent
was over 25 years of age. 1T is 8
case not of females in excess but
Of women in excess, and, moreover
o: women at the vital age from tn,
population point of view."
The aged are proportionately more
numerous. the very young much less
numerous. The result is that The
vitality Of the nation has been i'm
paired and for some time to come
there will be a fall in the number Of
births and birth rates as compared
with the years before the war. Upor
this condition commentator In the
London Times says:
Apart from these the direct ef-
fects of the war will be written
plainly on the population for half. a
century at least. Ten years hence
the dearth Of children under will
have become deartn OF schoolboys
and school girls Of from 10 to Is
years old; twenty years hence Of
young men and women of 20 to rs,
and so on at each successive census
until we have neared the beginning
Of another century"
This represents conditions which
followed the Napoleonic war. The
balance in the population will be
eventually restored, but not for many
years to come.

hazy family in that favored land
One may add to these the names OF
JOHANN NEpoMuK HUMMEI, the
pianist, from nearby Pressburg;
ADAM OEsER, Of whom GOETHE and
WINcKELMANN were pupils, and
many others celebrated in musical
arts among the sons Of Burgenland.
That the birth OF all these famous
musicians IN this little district, equal
to an area of less than forty-two
miles square, can be mere coinci-
dence is hardly possible. Other IA
vored parts of the earth occasionally
exhibit similar phenomena. Surely
here is something worthy of investi-
cation by students of eugenics.

Labor. Rents and Matrimony.

To THE NEW York HERALD: Your ar
ticle under the heading "The Heart of
the Matter" Is not fair. in my opinion.
There are some few isolated cases
where 1t has been proved that the de-
mands Of organized labor are unreason-
able. but the greater percentage are jus
tifiable. In your article you say that II
labor would accept lower wages an i'm
provement would be noticed imme-
diately. But what connection has labor
with rents? How can anybody reason
ably expect labor to accept wages that
will not meet the exorbitant rents Of
to-day? To my mind the quickest. most
positive way to get back to good times
or normalcy is to start at rents. When
one can obtain living quarters for the
equivalent Of a weeks salary as before
the war am certain labor will fall in
line.
What are the facts in the matter Of
taxation? Mr.. Public Is tired listening
to landlords blaming high taxes; II tax
alton is responsible, why not attack in
that direction?
do not belong to the labor class that
has been earning the high wages but
am an American young man who has
been endeavoring to get married for
nearly two years and thus far have
been prevented from accomplishing my
desire solely because Of high rents.
will wager that there are thousands of
other young men like myself who will
not marry because they are afraid the
good ship matrimony will strike a reef.

Hylan's Great School Policy.

In a speech on Sunday Mayor
HYLAN referred to the school policy
Of his administration as "the great.
est ever undertaken in this or any
other city in the world"
In September, 1917, the last autumn
Of Mayor JOHN PUREoY mitchell s
term, the number of part time pupils
IN the New York schools was 34,431.
Mayor mitchell had slowly but
steadily reduced the number in his
four years.
Last month, after four years OF
Hylanism. the part sime pupils num-
bered more than 126,000. In each
year Of HYLAN's administration 49,
600 more children, on the average,
were put on part time.
If that is the result Of the greatest
school policy ever undertaken in the
world, Heaven help the poor old
world and its children!

Railroad Consultations.

Certain obstacles to railroad con-
solidations, many or few, must be
overcome before any scheme can be
put into effect. The transportation
act provides that no consolidation
shall take place without the consent of
the interested railroads. 1t seems un-
likely that strong roads will assume
without protest the burden of weaker
links which formerly were competi-
tive lines. The very weakness of the
weaker roads was an asset to the
stronger ones, because the latter car
riers were saved the trouble and ex-
pense of serving Improbable terri
tory.
Before the rate making power
passed to the Interstate Commerce
Commission the weaker roads pos.
sessed a partial remedy for their ills
because they could raise tariffs in
some places to make up part Of the
losses in others. Now that compen-
sation is gone. They are real
orphans.
Another troublesome problem is
the collective use of terminals. How
far this may impede the proposed
consultations is question. The
summary action of the Government
during the war proved the advan-
tage Of concentrating traffic at the
best terminals. But it did not serve
to encourage railroad managers, who
saw their years OF work and plan
ming turned to the benefit Of com.
petitors. The broader interests of
the public demand first consideration
in the railroad mergers. But the
need for encouraging initiative and
farsightedness among railroad man
ayers cannot be ignored.
Besides this, there is the opposi-
tion Of shippers to be reckoned with.
Many thousands of industrial plants
in all parts OF the country owe their
very existence to some advantage of
rates or geographical situation which
renders competition well nigh i'm
possible.
If such obstacles and others which
are bound to crop up at the hearings
should diminish the chance for vol
untary mergers, further enabling
act giving the Interstate Commerce
Commission enforcement powers
would be necessary. This is the plan
followed In England, where all rail-
ways are to be merged into four
great groups, voluntarily II possible.
but with a provision that after three
years an amalgamation tribunal will
be set up to complete the work of
consolidation.

Locality and Genius.

Much light has been thrown on the
development OF individual charac.
teristics through the influence of he.
redity by the eugenics congress which
has been in session at the Museum
Of Natural History, yet It may be
questioned whether a wider range OF
investigation than merely into par.
enthood would not add considerably
to our knowledge Of the subject un-
der discussion. For instance, locality
has to do with personal qualities, es-
pecially the higher attributes.
Climate has some influence on this
development. Neither the frigid DO.
lar regions nor the torrid equatorial
zones are likely to build up dlstinc.
tive character. The former are too
rigorous. the latter too languorous
But, aside entirely from tempe ate
climates, certain districts seem to
foster peculiar talents. Italy, for In
stance, is famous for her sculpture
France for painting. Transplanted
to other countries both Italians and
French appear to lose somewhat OF
their artistic powers.
Austr1a's acquisition OF the terri
tory OF Burgenland, between tn,
Raab and the Leitha, calls attention
TO very striking instance OF thi:
influence Of locality. Although Aus
tria-Hungary was noted especially 81
a land OF the dance and music
