scarcely warrants the prediction,
even though common practice gives
comfort, of the urge toward SCISSORS.
Speaking not as critic Of the inn
portant sex, but merely as an OBJ
server of its psychology, it would
seem as il the feminine complex were
away from Standardization. Men
would be as other men: to women
this is a horror. So bobbing, when
universal, may defeat itself; when
short hair prevails, back may swing
the pendulum, with the daughters Of
Eve taking the Lorelei and the seven
sisters of once familiar advertise
ment as their patterns.
In the mean time no one advances
sound reason for relatinr hair cut
ting and holding. This Charlie
Chaplin mustache may not be a
beautiful or dignitied thing, but no
one has heard of bosses ordering a
sacrifice of the carefully nurtured
little brush or else an enforced visit

The Revolt in Tammany

There is revolt in Tammany Hall.
Mr.. James J. Hines, leader of the
11th Assembly District, stands forth
with challenge of Murphy's domi-
nation. 1t is said that feeling has
gone so far as to bring it within the
possibilities that an entire anti Muir
ply ticket may be submitted by the
Hines insurgents to the Democratic
primary voters.
"Murphy's policy is rule or ruin.
1t must be stopped Mr.. Hines in
forms the city on the first page of
this paper yesterday.
Mr.. Hines refers, of course, to the
policy Murphy has followed in the
affairs of Tammany Hall, and not
to his attitude toward the city.
This district leader has twice de-
feated Murphy in fights within the
ranks Of the organization and politi-
cal wiseacres are inclined to look
upon this latest break as something
more than a quarrel which can be
composed in day or so. If it is a
genuine mutiny we shall believe it
when Mr.. Hines puts forth a ticket
in opposition to the one concoctel by
Murphy and Hearst, but not until
then.

Welcome, Mile. Suzanne

Sport-loving America welcomes
Mile. Suzanne Lenglen not only as a
star Of the greatest magnitude in
the armament of racquet and net,
but also because she is daughter of
fair France.
Hailed by one of her enthusiastic
countrymen as the "athletic Joan
of Arc of our time" serves but to
whet our Yankee interest in this
maid who defeated Mrs. Mallory.
But we cannot agree with the gen.
tleman that cher defeat, following
that of the great Carpenter, would
cast my country into deeper gloom
than did the war" That would be
taking things too seriously alto
gether.
Mile. Lenglen will meet at Forest
Hills tomorrow at least one of the
best of our women players. We
hope she will be ''in FORM" the cold
which was troubling her upon her
arrival gone. And, whatever the
outcome of the tournament, may
she carry away with her the knowl-
edge that we are as generous in los
ing as we are generous in winning.

The Only Way

The earliest possible abandonment
by the Shipping Board of the exist
ing practice Of ALLEGATIONS is to be
commended. 1t is the first and logi-
cal step in the process Of getting
government out of this branch of
American business. There has been
too much delay in taking it.
It is reported that Chairman Las
ker in his appearances before the
House Committee on Appropriations
said "that some other arrangement
along partnership lines must be
reached if the government is to be
protected from the full responsible
ity for operating losses" We trust
that he was misunderstood. 1t
would he regrettable, in view Of the
governments experience, if the
board is still thinking "along part
nership lines" That way trouble
: lies.
Until the world returns to an ap-
proximation of normal state, with
a revival of sea trade and a demand
for tonnage which will permit the
board to sell the government-owned
merchantmen for something more
than junk prices, let it deal with
operators on charter basis-the So
called bare boat" basis.
Let it be the charterer's risk, not
the taxpayers. Let operators hire
ships at the rate of tonnage fixed by
the law of supply and demand. II
they make profit that is their bust
ness, and they have accomplished
their purpose. If they lose that also
is their business. They pay the bills,
including the government for the
use of its tonnage.
For the time being this is the bet
ter way. It's the only way.

Americas First Civilization

The Carnegie Central American
expedition for 1921 returns with a
report Of successful archaeological
research. 1t is said that the we'll
preserved remains of several cities
were discovered and mapped and
Photographic records of hieroglyphic
inscriptions were secured, whose
deciphering is expected to add to
our knowledge not only of the early
history of the Western Continent
but of the human race.
The Maya civilization, with which
these researches deal, was probably
by far the oldest in the Western
Hemisphere, and attained by far
the highest degree of culture; and
also--perhaps the most significant
point of all--was most closely re-
lated to the early civilization of
Asia and Africa. Long before the
rise of the Aztecs and Incas the
Maya empire, extending from the
Rio Grande to the Isthmus of Pan
anna, possessed an intellectual and
material apparatus which those later
peoples never attained; and falling,
after career of more than thou
sand years, it left architectural,
pictorial and literary remains sur
passing those of Mexico and Peru.
These facts were convincingly in
dicated many years ago by the
distinguished Belgic-A ex-
plorer Augustus lie Plongeon
through his researches at Uxmal
Chichen-Itza and elsewhere in Yu-
catan. He found there the remains
of temples and palaces the archi-
lecture and elaborate decorations
of which were not to be distin-
guished from those of Burmah and
parts of Hindustan. He found a
wealth Of hieroglyphic inscriptions
closely resembling those of Egypt
and some Asiatic countries, and
these being translated were found
to relate to the chief traditions of
Asia and Africa. There were un
mistakable references to the Gar
den of Eden, to the tragedy of Cain
and Abel, to the Noachian Dcluge
and to the Tower of Babel, as well
as to the Sphinx and other features
Of Egyptian archaeology And these
antedated, by probably as much as
thousand years, the Columbian
discovery of America.
How came the traditions, arts
and indeed the civilization of Asia
and Egypt to be established in Cen
trail America and Mexico some
where from fifteen to twenty cen
turies ago? Maya records throw
upon the problem only this light,
that the founders of that empire
came from the remote rorth; tra-
dition similar 20 that of the Toatexs
III later ages. The plausible infer
cnce is, then, that there was a mi
grafton to America from Asia by
the way of Bering Strait; theory

Just a "Priace"

Prince, one of the sublime charac-
ters Of the Great War, is dead, and
wherever it is that good dogs go
when they finish their allotted span
among us there he will be welcomed
and rewarded. To us it is inconceiv-
able that if there be place in eter-
nifty for man there is none for the
friend who loves him past all under
standing.
A British Tommy named Brown.
Hammersmith lad, was Princes
god. One day the god, with gun
over his shoulder and pack on his
back, said goodby in a hurry. His
outfit, the Staffordshires, had been
ordered Cover There" That's all
Brown knew about it-all he could
tell his family or his friend. The
War Office was not given to making
confidants of mere privates. And it
was just as we'll that Private Brown
didn't know that the Staffordshires
were destined for the line in the Ar
mentieres sector.
1t was easy enough for a great
government to cut Private Brown off
from communication with his family
and the little human world of Ham
mersmith which made up his life,
but all of it's resources were INSULT
cient to cope with the intelligence
and instinct and the love of dog.
A few days after the god had dis
appeared from his home Prince was
missed, and no more was seen or
heard of him again until he was re-
turned to England by agents Of the
Royal Society for the Protection of
Animals. The little fellow had or
dered himself cover There" How
he crossed the Channel and what he
went through in furtherance of his
quest among the war mazes of bat
tle-shocled France nobody will ever
know. A fortnight after being
missed from Hammersmith he was
at Armentieres and with his god and
his master in the trenches.
Peace to you, Prince! Aye, and
good luck and fair weather to your
brave and loving spirit

"Ninety-F athom Dan >
A Pacific Coast Captain Who Never
Took a Chance

To the Editor of The Tribune
Sir: Referring to the editorial Of
August 10 entitled "Hobey," praisng
that gallant captain for refusing life
belt and going down with his ship, the
Alaska, when she struck Blunt's Reef
on the California coast, have to say:
The Pacific coast is noted for it's fogs
and treacherous currents. Why cap
tains of ships going up and down that
coast, or any other, will lay their
courses in foggy weather close to the
land when they have the whole wide
ocean on the other side has always
been beyond my understanding; bar
they nearly all do H. and the bones of
many gallant ships wrecked in conse-
quence seem to carry no preventive
warnings.
The object Of this letter is to call at
tention to one noted exception, Captain
Daniel e. Friele (now retired), for
many years captain of the Pacific
Mail Line. He refused to take chances
and always brought his ship back to the
home port. In bad weather, with the
ocean on the one side and land on the
other, he steered for the ocean.
He is known the world over, wherever
he is known at all, as "Ninety-fathom
Dan," name Given him by reason Of
his excess Of caution in always trying
to have fathoms and fathoms of water
under the keel of his ship.
have sailed many voyages with
him, and might relate many anecdotes
marking the man and the sailor: but
aS am writing simply to emphasize
that trait of his character which
earned him the sobriquet of Ninety
fathom Dam" I will mention only one:
1t was aboard the Pacific Mail liner
City of Sydney (homeward bound from
Panama and way ports to San Fran
cisco) in very heavy fog off the coast
of Lower California few miles below
San Diego. Captain Friele thought his
ship was somewhere between the Coro-
nado Islands and the mainland, but he
was not sure, SO he stopped the ship,
put a quartermaster in the chains and
started heaving the lead, when any
landlubber could tell by the color of
the water that there was not line
enough aboard to reach bottom, and
kept the ship standing still for several
hours till the fog lifted enough for
him to get his bearings, deaf to the
mutterings Of passengers and crew,
who were impatient at the delay. When
absolutely certain of the ships posi-
tion. then and not till then he gavc
the signal for full speed ahead.

Dignity and Hairpins

From down East to the Middle West
and back again spirals the f1in1sy
protest against the bobbed-hair girl.
Will the hypocritical male never be
satisfied to attend to his own busi-
ness? Will he never, as he furtively
peers, cease pretending to be dis
pleased?
Now the solemn charge is made
that short-haired women do not look
dignified. Dignity, the outward ex-
preston of inward sef-respect, has
claims, but they are not supreme.
Comfort is entitled to some consid-
GRAFTON. Moreover, inasmucn as
exuding pores are not confined to
the scalps of one sex, who, when
these fountains begin their artesian
flow, does not feel his self-respect
oozing? In the Declaration of Fem
inine independence who can chal-
lenge the inalienable right of women
to be cool, or as near that as pos
sible?
Dignity is, of course, not sup
ported by extyene popularity. Con-
ventionality has its claims, and
Amelia Bloomer, as she went to hev
schoolroom with the dogs barking at
her, was, perhaps, not an altogether

A Job for Dawes

There is a place in Washington
for somebody with the bent of Sir
James Greig, who is asking whether
there is not way of saving about
100000 pounds sterling in public
funds annually which is now spent
on inquisitiveness in the House of
Commons. He has arrived at that
total by ascertaining that it costs a
guinea every time question is asked
a minister. On computation allow
ing member three questions day,
the per capita cost of a session is 315
pounds. AS there are more than six
hundred members in the Commons,
the total mentioned is mere matter
of multiplication.
OF course, Sir James has undoubt-
edly taken account in his estimate
Of a guinea question such factors
as stenographic fees, paper, ink,
printing and publication. Which
brings us back to the suggestion that
somebody like him is needed in
Washington to take a pencil and pad
and figure what we might save
if Congress would put stop to "the
leave to print" privilege, by which
publication is achieved in the Record
of speeches" which are never ut
tered.
We commend General Dawes for
the lob.
