wound up their series of gar

but certainly the most appealing, the
most human-interesting of them all.

them came-some so expertly mended

been broken. est many Of them with

of wheeled chairs there were, some
pushed by nurses or friends, some able
to help their own chairs along; others,
smiling, but content to lie still and let
themselves be pushed.

hosts that they always are. quite out

sideration for this group Of guests.

so terribly appealing that one could

stand, with the great fountain rising
behind them, the Marine Band was sta
toned as usual-but not the splash OF

garden parties, byt cool in white

AUSTRIA APPEALS FOR
QUICK FINANCIAL HELP
Going to Supreme Council as
American Hope Fades.
BIZ The Aaaooinfcd Presa

LONDON. Aug. 5.-Austria will appeal
to the Allied Supreme Council for imme-
diate financial aid on the ground that
the international scheme for rehabilita-
ton of the remnants OF the Dual Mon
archy has failed.
This was learned to-day coincident
with statement by Dr. Maximilian
Bach. Austrian Minister in London. that
his nation faced critical situation
growing out of the failure to obtain
loans. which, he said was largely re-
sultant from the American policy of
granting no further credits to Europe
which were not authorized by Congress.
DR.. Bach said that Austria realized the
present delay in obtaining Americas
consent to the suspension OF the general
lien on Austria's assets was caused by
necessities of American constitutional
procedure, but he declared the delay was
leading to catastrophe. mo bankers are
now willing to make any advances until
the decisive voice of America is heard"
he said.
DIR. Bach pointed out that whereas the
American dollar before the war was
worth about five kronen. now ii Is valued
at 1000 kronen. and the exchange stu
alton is steadily growing worse. Moth

An Age Limit for Pugilists.

The old Greeks believed that 38
was the ideal age OF man. That old
Roman, the Hon. WILLIAM MULDooN,
seems to think that 3S is the jump
ing OF age, at least in pugilists. As
chairman Of the State Athletic Com
mission he, his colleagues agreeing,
has made rule which will prevent
the participation In public contests
in this State of boxers who have
entered their 39th year.
One Of the practical results OF the
rule will be that it will prevent either
WILLARD or JOHNSON, former cham
pions, from trying to regain their
glory in this State. As nobody be-
lieves that either the Kansan or the
negro would have the slightest
chance to beat DEMPSEY, even the
most eager addicts Of the prize ring
will not grieve much at the barring
Of these oldsters.
Chairman MULDooN, who has been
training men for forty years, ex-
plains the commissions action by
saying that men of 40 have lost the
nervous energy necessary for success
in the ring. This is probably true in
nearly all cases. The old boxer may
look well and exhibit strength and
the outward signs Of staying power,
but he has lost in ability at once to
hit and stand being hit. The cor.
puscle repair gang doesn't do its
work the way it used to. The punch
is there, but the pep is lacking.
And yet in fancy we hear voice
in protest on high Olympus. What
do ye think of that stuff" says Bon

Taxing the Surplus.
Conservative Corporations Would Be
Penalized by This Plan.

To THE NEW YORK Herald: / note
that one Of the plans suggested for rails
ing revenue Is "a 10 per cent. tax on
the undistributed earnings Of corpora
tions, which 1T is estimated will yield
s3c0. .0oo."
/ am writing rather in the dark as
to the exact plan or from what time
these earnings are to be taken for taxa
tion purposes. However. there is a prln-
ciple involved no malta what the de-
tails may be. It is an unjust and an
unequable tax, for II pena.izes the con-
seryative corporations which did not
dissipate or distribute all their surplus
earnings and favors those corporations
which paid out al their surplus in divi-
dends, either stock or cash: many such
companies have ceased paying dividends
altogether and have been Obliged to bor-
row money. How many companies have
a surplus? Certainly very few have II
now In cash, though many may have
put II In increased facilities.
But how is there any constitutional
justification Of this tax? This Is not a
war revenue bill but a peace measure.
Surplus earnings accumulated prior to
the time Of the excess profits tax cannot
now be taxed. Surplus remaining after
paying the excess profits tax belongs to
the company or it's stockholders as a
matter OF right. The required tax to
the Government was paid by 1t and
this tax is an additional excess profits
tax not levied on all corporations alike.
Congress can tax the current earnings
Of a corporation by either an excess
fronts tax or a fiat income tax, but
Congress cannot make q retroactive law
to reach a surplus accumulated in prior
years. Congress cannot pass a dis
criminative law taxing some companies
simply because they have not distributed
their undivided surplus, bit It must tax
tho surplus Of all companies as Of a
given date II it can tax at all.
If this tax holds good as to corpora
tions the same principle can be applied
to individuals and Congress could tax
the savings of anybody simply because
they had not been spent. Why, then
relieve business of the excess profits
tax and turn around and tax In many
cases phantom surplus or a surpu,
rghtfully accumulated?
The Supreme Court having held thai

venting this decision by this tax on un.

More Trees for Central Park.

Park Commissioner GL.LATIN'S
plan TO plant two thousand trees
along the West Drive in Central Park
will have the approval Of everybody
who wants to see New York's finest
breathing place maintained m man
ner beftting the metropolis Of the
United States.
The conserving Of the trees in Cen
trail Park has been one of the perplex-
ing problems of the Park Department.
The nature of the soil has made it
difficult for root systems to establish
themselves, and although explosives
have been used from time to time
to loosen the hardpan some Of the
finest of the old trees have been lost.
The Island of Manhattan is of rocky
foundation and nourishment for
plant life Is scanty.
One of the most successful expert.
ments in tree planting In this State
in recent years has been that OF the
Saratoga Association for the Improve
ment of the Breed of Horses, which
has within the past six months moved
several hundred elms and naples,
some Of them more than fifty feet
high. They have been employed in
the Identification of the racecourse
at Saratoga Springs.
The tenacity OF life possessed by
some varieties of trees is remarkable.
EDWARD F. SIMMs, the Kentucky turf
man. has on his Xalapa Farm, near
Paris, kentucky, in the heart OF the
blue grass country, trees which he
brought from England and planted
in Texas. They were transplanted to
Oklahoma, and subsequently removed
to Mr.. SIMMs's farm in Kentucky,
where they are fiourishing.

The Primary Duty.

There are 643,630 men and women

OF these 643,630 voters $4,000 are
rnen and 254,626 are women. The
obligation that rests on them is per-

by any elector, man or woman, who
takes seriously the privilege Of suf-

The election of 1920 marked great
crisis in the affairs Of the United
States. The men and women OF New
York did their duty at the polls with
Intelligence. The election this year
will mark crisis in the affairs Of

rare to meet 1t properly is for every
enrolled Republican to vote in the
primaries for the nomination of the
