A City Housecleaning Too.

There is no shadow of doubt that
Governor MILLER will get from the
Legislature, and get forthwith, the
full powers he asks of examination
and investigation Of all, county and
municipal officers and departments
like those he already possesses re-
gardlng State departments, bureaus
boards and commissions.
1t Is only question of time, then,
until representatives of the Chief Ex-
ecutlve Of the State turn the affairs
of this city upside down in search of
the reasons for "the grave increases
in crime. especially crimes of yio-
lence, and the large proportion of
cases of failure to discover and ap-
prehend the perpetrators"

A central bank might have done

done better than 1t did If it had got

the country Is now betwixt and be

Wonder of a Child Brain.
What Explains the Ability of the
Eight -Year-Old Chess Player?

To THE NEW YORK HERALD: How can
we explain the extraordinary ability OF
the eight-year-old chess player?
IL 1t an instinct. and does he perform
in the same mechanical way that "A
spider does when IL weaves n web, or
as a little insect does when it sets a
trap for an unsuspecting enemy? Surely
the child hasn't acquired his ability
through experience. How. then, can in
experience conquer experience?
Wherein lies the source Of his gift ?
Is IT generated by the brain. and are
we to seek an answer in the construc-
tion and grouping of the brain cells
actuated by the blood supply? Or does
he possess soul or ego" or
psychic" superior to yours or mine
that gives him such extraordinary per-
ception? Does he know anything but
chess? Is he generally intellectual or
Is he ordinary in most respects?
The theosophists will tell us that II

will tell us that the child is a medium
controlled by Zipto OF the planet Mars ;
but what has the student of mental
phenomena to say? JOHN HOLLOWAY.

The Next Secretary of Labor.

When the Department Of Labor was
created by Congress, under the scheme
ana bill of Representative WILLIAM
y. WILSON, now Secretary WILSON by
appointment of President WILSON, 1t
might as well have been named the
Department of Labor Unions to ex-
press the principles it has promoted,
the interests Il has served and the
uses to which it has been put
Now that there is to be n change
of Administration and chance TO
redeem department policies that have
gone astray ii would he too much to
ask that the new Secretary OF Labor
be representative Of the open shop. II
Is to be frankly recognized that. under
tween the open and the closed shop,
this too would be only a partial rep
resentation Of labor, though not SO
flagrant Il misrepresentation as the
present incumbency, which stands
mllitantly and solely for the distinct
labor union minority.
It Is not too much to ask that the
Department Of Labor be not again de-
liyered over, body, boots and breeches.

A Traffic Squad Puzzle.
Case of Four Autos Meeting Four
Pedestrians at Four Crossings.

To THE NEW YoRK HERALD: Fred
Dexheirner in a letter printed in your
paper writes: THE fact of the. matter
Is the law governing the right of way
at street crossings is no longer en-
forced. for, the law distinctly says that
the pedestrian has the right OF way
over all vehicles while he is on the
crosswalk."
Wherever streets cross there are four
corners and four crosswalks Say one
person IL on each corner ind all start
TO cross to the opposite corners just as
four automobiles approach from four
diffcrept directions. Must each auto
mobile give way to each Of the persons
crossing?
have grave doubts that the law Is
as Fred Dexhelmer states It. Where Is
that law to be found? will not state
what the law Is, but what / understand
II to be: That each person crossing a
street at any place shall exercise rea-
sonable care TO avoid being run over
or injured by any vehicle which may
be approaching, and should he fail 10

SYMPHONY YioIinist,s Recital.

Gustav rinlot. concert master of the
Symphony Society, gave a concert of
violin music yesterday afternoon In
Aeolian Hall. His opening number was
the Chausson Concerto. which was
played in its original form with piano
and string quartet. In this perform
ance Mr.. Tinlot had the aid of Arthur
Lichstein, first violin; Edwin Bachman,
second; Rene Pollain. viola: Paul
Kefer. cello, and e. Robert Schmitz.
plano.
The concerto is an interesting work.
concentrated in thought and sincere in
feeling. It's methods are somewhat elu-
sive and certainly the first movement Is
rot for the masses. But 1t Is music
with character and value. 1t was es-
pec.ally interesting yesterday in its
original form. The piano part proved
to be particularly effective, and in Its
delivery the fine art OF Mr.. Schmitz was
admirably displayed. The solo part of
the work does not stand out in such
prominence as to make 1t strongly indi-
vidual. 1t is rather an important part
Of a highly organized ensemble. Mr..
Tinlot showed artistic self-sacrifce In
giving himself so ardently to the COM
position.
Other numbers on the programme
were Lalos Concerto Russe," largo
from one of Bach's unaccompanied. So
natas, and some shorter pieces. The
audience was Of fair size and was evil
IDENTIFY well pleased.

The Perfect Waiter.
Things He Should DO i'm Order ia
Deserve That Title.
Diner Otu in London Dailv Mail

Diner Ont in London Daily MoiE
Many good dinners are spoiled by bad
or inefficient waiting. You may have
excellent food. but If 1t is served by a
waiter who does not know his business
you will lose its full enjoyment.
The perfect waiter must take pride in
his work and exhibit an intelligent In
terest in food. He must have a keen
eye for the table appointments. The
napery, the cutlery, the glass must be
spotless. How often, even at first class
restaurants, does one pick UP a fork or
spoon not properly cleaned, or a
glass that. has been smeared in the
process OF wiping, 1t is the waiter
business 20 see that such defects do not
exist
And he must know what etceteras
and accessories you are likely to require
with certain dishes. 1t ought not to he
necessary to ask for condiments or
sauces. They should be served auto
matically. 1t is the sign of bad waiting
when you have constantly to ask for
things. Forethought for the require
ments OF the customer and n sympa-
thetic study of his individual tastes
mark the good waiter.
His department Is all important. II
should be impressive, as of one imbued
with a proper sense OF the dignity OF
his calling, without being alarming. The
abjectly servile waiter is as objection
able as the aggressive.
The perfect walter is never in a
hurry when taking an order. He con-
veys by his manner his appreciation of
the choice of food made by the custo-
mer. but he is not talkative or cnatty,
nor does he offer advice unless asked to
do 80.
He answers when spoken to. and does
not, like the pert boys employed at some
establishments. just nod or shake his
head.
He is not fussy. He does not snatch
away your plate before you have fin
shed or butt in during conversa-
tion. He is not obtrusive. He sees that
the plates are hot and revcrently bears
and sets down the dishes In fasnion
that prodlsposes you in their favor. He
does not breathe down the back of your
reck. or snort or scowl, or glare, or
mutter strange oaths beneath his
breath
Above all. the perfect waiter may be
known by his method of accepting a
tip. lie takes II without servility. but
with a gesture OF admirable politeness
and graciousness.

To Save Boxing.

The New York State Boxing Com
mission has done wise thing by fix
ing scale Of seat prices beyond which
owners of boxing clubs may not go
in New York.
The protest of THE New YORK
HERALD against the purses paid to
boxers here has had its effect. There
never was good reason why those fond
of boxing should be called on to pay
the ridiculous prices demanded by the
so-called topliners among the present
day boxers. Yet, because money was
easy, they did pay them, although there
was an undercurrent of grumbling
over the impudent demands of the
boxers managers, who were In the
main responsible for conditions which
are now happily a thing of the past
in this community. If the managers
are not satisfied with rhe new order
of things they can betake themselves
and their boxers TO pastures new.
Other and better men will take their
places and healthier condition will
prevail in the sport.
In this newspaper recently the Il. Z
was recalled that SULLIVAN and Nil
RAIN fought for $4,000 side. OF
this amount the winner took all. What
of the managers end" which in these
days is Il matter Of record MS being
as much as 30 per cent of the amount
awarded 10 his man? SuLLIvAN's stake
of $4,000 was furnished by the late
CHARLIE JOHNSON of Brooklyn and
JIMMIE WAKEEY of New York, neither
of whom took penny of the prize
money. Friends Of SULLIVAN, believ-
ing he was in class by himself as
a fighter, their pocketbooks were open
whenever the big Fellow" rs the
Boston pngilist was affectionately
called, needed a hacker.
It would be well If the National
Board of Boxing Control, which Is to
meet soon. should give attention to the
matter of price regulation all over the
United States. Boxing Is q splendid
sport. 1t is healthful pastime. and
is an excellent aid in temper control
md the rank commercialism which
has brought disaster to the sport in
years gone by should never again be
tolerated.

Colds and Other Results of Mans
EyOlu.iO From Four Legs.

To THE NEW YORK HERALD: A few
members of the medical profession have
learned that colds are not due to ex-
posure to the weather; but the great
majority Of medical men advocate a
theory more absurd and mischievous,
namely. that the disease is contagious
and may be caught from neighbor's s
cough or sneeze. The truth of ii is the
so called cold is always an individual
matter. disease due to wrong living
habits.
The chief cause of colds is clothing,
the skin being a true breathing organ
whose millions of blood vessels are
gasping for air under even the lightest
of drapery and completely smothered
under many folds of clothing. Every
cold is likely to develop into influenza
and pneumonia. and the lack of oxygen
IN the blood. due to smothering the skin.
causes the accumulation Of waste mat
ters in the system, and when the or
ganism begins the work of cleaning

Two of the most vital facts in biology,
physiology and hygiene, namely, that
man is by nature a naked animal as
we'll as four legged. are ignored by the
medical profession and scientists In
general; hence vast amount of dis
ease, most of which is preventable by
right all around management. The
down sagging OF all the internal organs
is productive of mischief. Various all

sition require every possible effort to
counteract the unnatural down saggine
