not the exclusive possession OF the
strong in wind and limb.
To a layman, however, the likeli-
hood Of producing geniuses by the
mating Of men and women in robust
health would seem remote. An indif-
ferent mental endowment will con-
tinue to be the heritage Of ninety
nine e-hundredths of the race. And
the gift of sound or sickly bodies will
largely make or mar their lives,
as now.
So far as native capacity of the
mind is concerned there is no great
disparity in the individuals of a
given people. But there is marked
physical inequality. The child who
is born with low store of energy,
of driving power, is grievously
handicapped. His inferior animal
vigor will put him at disadvantage
to the end of the chapter. That is
tragic fact for prospective parents
to weigh.

Sir: John Paul Jones's body was
brought to America by General
Horace Porter for sepulture, April "a,
1906. President Roosevelt said at the
burial: II feel the place of all others
in which the memory of the dead hero
will most truly be living force is

John Paul Jones, in TITS, armed and
embarked in the first American ship
of war. On June A, 1777, in the same
resolution that established the design
of the American flag, he was ordered
to the Ranger at Portsmouth, N. H.
On July IA, 1777, he hoisted the first

In Quiberon Bay he received the first

Much surprise will be caused by
the suggestion that some human
bones which have been found at the
Villa Palmieri, at Florence, Italy,
are those of Boccaccio, the Father
of Italian Prose-" and also by the
reputed tradition that the great poet
and novelist lived in that villa and
wrote his 'Decameron" there.
The world has hitherto supposed
that the chief facts concerning Boo
caccio's life and death were suffi-
GENTLY we'll known. 1t is true that
both Florence and Paris once
claimed the honor of his birth, but
there seems to be little question
that his native place was Certaldo.
twenty miles from Florence. Ger
tainly he declared it to have been,
and he always signed his name Doc
caccio da Certaldo."
1t was at Certaldo that he spent
most of his life and wrote most of
his works. The Villa Palnieri was
not his residence, but was the place
which he represented as the refuge
OF the ladies and gentlemen, driven
from Florence by the plague, who
whiled away the days OF their exile
by relating the hundred tales of the
"Decameron."
AS for his death and burial, there
has hitherto been no question that
he died at Certaldo on December
21, 1875, and was buried there in
the Church of SIS. Jacopo e Filippo,
and that upon the stone above his
tomb was carved the eloquent Latin

Veteran Preference
To the Editor of The Tribune.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: l read a great deal about the
veteran preference constitutional
amendment No. that is to be voted ON
by the people Of the State of New York
this coming election.
Absolute preference would eventually
close the doors of civil service against
all womenfolk of this state. Is that
fair? 1t would shut out the bows and
girls OF to-day from entering civil serv-
ice Tor forty years. Is that fair? It
would shut out those who were en-
gagged in essential positions-school ol
teachers, policemen, fremen and me-
chanics.
Those IN favor of this smendme mt
tell you that the Civil War veterans
got preference, but they don't tell you
when they got it-thirty years after
the war.
No man went into the service to
fight the World War for democracy to
return and deprive others of their
equal right as American citizens.

Time to Abdicate

The former Emperor of Austria
and King of Hungary is menace
to the peace of Europe. So long as
he refuses to resign all claims to the
throne he remains the Lawful! SOW
creign of Hungary. None other can
be named in his place without run
ming the risk of being deposcd by
the Carlist supporters. Under the
laws and traditions of Hungary
once a king always a king unless
he abdicates. Should another be set
up in his place Charles could still
claim the throne, and would prob
ably have enough followers to create
a revolution.
The reactionaries in severa. Eu-
ropean governments have thought
to use the King as pawn on the
chessboard Of Continental politics.
But Charles and his friend; have
their own ideas of the game, which
sometimes conflict with the policies
of other governments. The former
Emperor takes himself seriously.
His followers include many whose
political ideas are those of the Mid
die Ages.
Under the circumstances Charles
should abdicate. The divine right
of kings belongs to the same school
Of thought az did slavery. The
sooner that Charles realizes this and
joins the ranks of the permanently
unemployed the better for the peace
of the world.

this necessary trait individually. but
they credit one another with it.
Women also do them that honor
to a great extent. For instance,
Miss Robertson, when asked some
weeks ago whether she would
suggest woman for the Conference
on the Limitation of Armament an
swered that she would not. Then
she proceeded to outline what she
considered the necessary qualifica-
tions for such an appointment, with
the statement that there was no
woman in the United States possess
ing them all.
Women expect more of them
selves and one another in politics
than men do. A little more ego and
little more faith are requisites for.

familiarity with the workings of
government will develop them. The

Ihe British Parliament is one

IN Its women members. With the
election of Mrs. Thomas Wintring-
ham, Lady Astor gains colleague

moving slowly to its place in the
representation of its constituency in
the English-speaking nations.

asked for redress. This he failed to
obtain, owing to the efforts of pro-
Horthy parliamentarians; whereupon
he resigned.
The armed attempt to prevent
Austria from taking possession Of
Burgenland, awarded to her by the
peace treaty, represents another
phase of the struggle for succession.
Both Legitimists and Horthyists en-
deavored to utilize this incident for
outdistancing the rival faction. 1,
would seem that the Legitimists, led by
the former Premier Friedrich, were in
the field first. 1t was their men who at
tackled the Austrian gendarmerie first.
But Horthy's followers refused to be
outdone in lawlessness, and units of
the national army rushed in to claim
credit for repelling the Austrians.
The Burgenland episode, however,
may yet prove the undoing of the
whole militarist-terrorist outfit that
for the last two years has menaced
the peace of central Europe. The
patience of the Entente seems to be
giving out, and a few divisions of
Allied troops may suffice for the task
of cleaning up that is to begin at
Oedenburg and to end at Budapest.

Eleven Hours

The end of the daylight-saving
period was solemnized on Sunday by
setting the clocks ahead eleven hours,
instead IF setting them back one
hour. 1t is a procedure dictated in
the interests Of the clocks mecfa-
nism, which cannot bear to run back
ward even for the period denoting
one hour. 1t is not concerned at all
with human psychology, but that is
no reason why the spirit Of man
should not embrace the opportunity
to do little soaring.
If we could live as fast as the
hands of the clock revolved in the
moments of the restoration to sun
time it would amount to having
eleven hours added to our lives. Fairy
gcdmothers have often done as much
for their favorites. Why couldn't
they do it for us? Think of eleven
hours Of which no record will ever
be made, in which no bills will ever
be paid, no laws of nature function
We can chase butterflies all day
without losing our jobs or alarming
our families. We can write the
great novel, or, at least, get it so
we'll started. that the rest will be
easy
We can do all the things we never
have time for in our wo: kaday hours.
We can meet and fall in love with
our ideal-even Cinderella had less
than eleven hours to work in. =, We
can sit down and work out scheme
for eliminating the subway shuttle.
Perhaps all of us together, pooling
our eleven hours, might think up
something for Lloyd George to do
about Ireland.

The Watch ON the Rhine

Senator Lodges intimation that the
American troops would soon be with
drawn from the Rhine has excited
unfavorable comment in France.
1t is still too early to believe in
Germany's good faith. So long as
the. reparation payments remain
doubtful and America is committed
to the clauses of the treaty in which
Germany binds herself to make these
payments it is desirable that Ameri-
can troops remain with the Allied
troops as constant reminder to
Germany that America stands with
the Allies in this matter. Their early
removal would be mistakenly inter-
preted by the Germans as an aban-
donment by America of any support
of these clauses. The result could
only be unfortunate and encourage
those elements in Germany which
seek to nullify the penalties of
the war.
Mr.. Borah opposes the treaty with
Germany "because of the principle
of force which runs through it," Ex-
cept for this principle it would have
died violent death two years ago.
And if this principle is weakened the
Germans will soon refuse to meet
their obligations.
Two things stand out plainly: Ger
many must be made to pay the pen
atty of the war, and Germany re-
spects only force. To encourage Ger
many to resist the treaty is to null
lily the victory won at the cost Of
millions of lives.

Women and Unemployment
Answer to the Charge That They Are
Crowding Out Men Workers

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: Kindly permit me to answer
the letter by Harry Nathan entitled
"W omen and Unemployment"
Mr.. Nathan believes that the present
unfortunate economic unbalance can be
alleviated by the magnanimous step
ping aside of few hundred women
elevator operators and bank clerks. He
does not realize that the cause Of the
situation is more than just that q few
women deservedly can hold jobs that
men were willing to hold before.
Any system Of economic stability
must be built on the theory that each
piece of work is entitled to the best
workman obtainable. If women ara
found to be just as efficient in pushing
an elevator lever and adding columns
of figures as men, does not Mr.. Nathan
realize that by dislodging these work
ing people from their present holdings
the state of unemployment would mere
ly have changed hands?
Mr.. Nathan ignores the fact that
women also must eat to live and have
shelter, and to secure the wherewithal
they must work. Why urge a ca
reer of domesticity upon women who
are at present bank clerks and elevator
operators, women who are absolutely
unframed to fill the positions OF female
domestics? The inefficiency would still
exist. And how many of these present
bank clerks and elevator operators are.
willing to become female domestics"!
The lack of employment among wom-
en- at present is due not to the absence
of demand for female 6omestics but
to the flooding of the employment mar
ket with young women who have been
trained for stenographers. clerks, typ
lists, teachers, solicitors--felds in which
men do not compete.
The unemployment among men is
largely in those fields of strenuous
muscular labor such as foundries.
where women do not compete beyond
doing light assembly work, as in auto
mobile factories. Mill after mill has
had to shut down for weeks and weeks
a. stretch due to the low ebb Of the
market value of their produce and the
absence of demand.
1t is only when the spiritual. eco
nomic and political bewilderment In
Europe has abated, when commercial
relations are in full swing again be-
tween the two continents, when the
products flooding the markets at pres
crt can find buyers to warrant further
production, that unemployment can b.
in any way alleviated.
1t is not question of whether yon
arc man or a woman. 1t is ques-
ton of whether or not you can Sll the
position adequately.

Sir: MIR La Guardia's suggestion %
the Board of Estimate to abolish the
Registers office Is not the best way 70
cut expenses.
The thing to do Is 20 abolish tbs
counties and have but one Registefs ap'
pointed, not elected, with deputies IN
each borough. The records OF fhs
county clerks affecting real estats
should be transferred to the Register
offices and the county clesks should %
appointed by the Supreme Court.
Commissioners of records should %
abolished, not increased in number -
has been done recently in the Bronx
Each Office can best attend to It's own
records, as the New York County kss-
istcr's Office does.
