The Tail Wagging the Dog.

Connecticut's 100000 and more or
der loving inhabitants have, through
their Legislature, rejected daylight
saving. Legally the timepieces of the
famous clock making State will tell
the truth about the fight OF hours in
summer as they do in winter. The
public Offices, the courts, the railroads
will all stick to the chronology Of the
nation.
But New London, with $4,000 Of
Connecticut's million and a third of
people. Is going to have daylight saw
ing anyway. Its civic bodies have
voted TO defy the Legislature. The
New London clocks viii be set ahead
April "a; New Londoners and visitors
to New London must solve the puzzle
of two times whenever they want to
catch a train or meet an acquaint-
ance or buy beefsteak.
New London is a great gateway for
business men and vacation seekers
travelling by railroad, by steamship
and by motor car to and from the
industrial areas and summer play
grounds of New England. Visitors
will be inconvenienced and many of
them will be put to actual loss by the
private New London adjustment OF
clocks.
Because New London Is a small
town, the presumption of It's revolt
against legal Connecticut time is out
standing. But there Is another town,
not as small as New London, which
has set itself up as It's own master in
this matter. Tint is New York city.
After a full and fair trial, after
free discussion of Its advantages and
disadvantages, New York State has
abandoned daylight saving. That
abandonment records the adverse de-
cision of the people on this expert
ment. But New York city has decided
to make its own time during the sum
mer and by its bulk and influence to
enforce acceptance of its arbitrary, In
correct clock dial on It's nelghbors. It
self being the tail, 1t elects to wag
the dog.
This country got standard time be
cause the nuisance Of varying times
became intolerable a generation ago.
The men Of the sos had sense enough
10 see that nationwide time uni
1 formity was essential to comfort Ia
business and social affairs. II the es-
tablishment Of local time at variance
with standard time keeps up, witt the
consequent annoyance and loss to
farming and Inconvenience to travel
lers and business men, the United
States Government Is likely to be COM
pelled to establish by statute time
system which shall be countrywide In
its application and proof against local
manipulation.

Summoned to Court.
A Poodle Detected In the Street
Without o MuzzIe.

To THE NEW YoaK HERALD: A few
days ago two small girls. daughters OF
friends OF mine. went out for a walk
In Park avenue accompanied by their
governess. They had with them on q
leash a small. harmless poodle.
The dog wore a nuzxlo, but after they
had gone few blocks the dog betrayed
symptoms Of choking. so the governess
removed the muzzle because she was un-
able to rearrangc It comfortably In a
few minutes one of our big. fine police
men stopped them and handed the gov
erness a summons requiring her to ap-
pear in court the following day for be-
ing in the street with an unmuzzled dog

back to the artist.
II expected" Remington told me, ito
get the moccasins after we returned TO
the reservation with the outlaws, but 1t
occurred to me that the guide or might
be killed and in either case the bargain
could not be concluded. So l stuffed
them in my Jacket"
He laughed and added: Later a model
posing for me wore those moccasins,
and when the picture was exhibited an
art critic wrote, Remington is always
picturesque. even at the expense of truth.
His Indian guide wears a pair of mocca-
sins the like of which were never worn
by an Indian outside of q theatre The
actual guide probably wore q pair of
army brogans.'
Remington took that sort OF thing in
perfect good nature; never retorted. He
called my attention to rifle, one of his
collection, which included every model
and pattern of rifle ever used by Colo
NAL or United States soldiers, which a
critic of an exhibited picture had de-
clared to be pre-dated. The rife was
not only OF the model used by soldiers in
the period pictured but was one which
had actually been used In the Indian
campai Ign an incident OF which the pic-
ture In question depleted. z. w. Il.

Syndicaiism in New York.

In the New York Legislature there
Is bill to protect the public from be-
ing devoured by price flxers. II Is
generally known as the photoengrav-
Ing measure, because the labor union
engaged In the photoengraving indus
try, acting with certain employers in
the trade, has raised prices to levels
at which the photoengraving product
must be sold.
Any employer selling his product or
trying to sell 1t at lower price than
the one named by the photoengraving
price fixers is not permitted to cper-
ate his plant. The price fixing union
will not let it's members work In such
plant if 1t sells at lower prices than
the price fixers have fixed. Either 1t
must charge consumers the higher
prices named by the price fixers or
1t must be driven out OF business.
This Is oppression Of employers
and employees who do not want to
pillage consumers. IT Is depriving
the public Of any chance to get an
article it needs In free market. 1t
Is a blow at American institutions.
1t is plain syndicalism.
If the New York Legislature passes
the bill intended to check this out
rage against American customs, prin-
ciples and rights 1t will stop this
entering wedge of syndicalism.
If 1t does not pass this measure,
the New York Legislature will put
its stamp of approval on syndicalism
in this State.

Luck.
The Old Puzzle Of the Differing Des-
TIMES of Men.


To THE NEW YORK HERALD You say
in an editorial article:
The belief in good and bad luck Is not
confined to any race. There are thou
sands of solid business men of ell races
who possess this weakness to a greater
degree than they would care to confess.
All such are forgetful of the fact that
an individuals luck Is what he himself
makes II.
Is this really SO? I admit that there
is no such thing as chance, all being
cause and effect in the scheme OF nature,
but luck is something different.
For instance one man Is born strong
and clever. another weak and dull one
man receives good education, another
has to go with a smatterng: one man
invests in q gold mine which pans out
rich. another invests In an oil well
which dries up In q week, and so on
All cases of good and bad luck.
Are we sure that there Is not some
occult Observation-Disclosures or the gods,
as the ancients used to say-which pre-
sides over the destinies of men. favor
Ing some more than others? Is merit
always successful? on the other hand,
how many men owe their success to some
happy accident? SraINUs.

Public Welfare in the Cabinet.

With all the sensible, wholesome
substance in President HARDING's
message 1t Is disappointment to
find a considerable part of it devoted
In argument far from convincing and
sentiment by no means inspiring to
the setting up of new Cabinet Of
fee for public welfare work.
In the first place, If there were
room or justification for more Gov
ernment heads of Cabinet rank-and
there Is not-it is poor sense of
proportion that would place such a
vastly important national business as
transportation, for example, second to
any enterprise rs yet existing only In
the imagination. Or to take another
example, aviation, which needs to be
organized, coordinated and systema-
tized under one supreme chief, with
various branches of it then operated
particularly for the army, navy, pos
tai service, &c.
But, as a matter of fact, nothing
more, whether of the immediate and
massive dimensions of the railroad
problem or of the remote and vision
ary outlines of an uplift sensation,
should be jammed into the already
overcrowded Cabinet to make 1t like
town meeting, where there are too
many voices on tap for the gathering
to get down to the practical business
of doing things instead of talking
about them.
Any man, though he be steam en-
gine for work and a wonder for
achieving results in the world of af-
fairs, knows how perfectly hopeless
it is to get anything worth while done
by a large committee. The begin
ming and the end of its functioning
is nearly always talk. Pretty much
everything in between is talk. Deci-
sion is postponed for conversation,
and accomplishment Is sidetracked
by debate. 1t can be no different
with a Cabinet.
III the Cabinet needs anything in the
way OF reconstruction 1t is not ex-
pansion but curtailment. 1t would
better have half dozen members
than a dozen 1t would be more busi-
nessike and effective, as any railroad
executive or Industrial head knows,
in a compact, high powered. smoothly
working form of FIVE Cabinet offices,
each containing as many departments
and other subdivisions as might be
needed.
If public welfare, as such, calls for
treatment by the Federal Government
in the very biggest and broadest way
1t should not add to the numbers in the
Cabinet throng. 1t can be handled
certainly as successfully, probably far
more successfully, in department or
bureau under the chief of some Cabl-
net office already In existence, while
the Cabinet itself can be saved from
becoming populous rather than
practical institution.

very many of the museum pieces were,

many and very interesting pieces / saw

MacmilIen With National Symphony
American Displays Growth of Artistic Mastery of the
Violin at Concert in Carnegie Hall.

The National Symphony Orchestra
continued Its series OF concerts last
evening in Carnegie Hall. This organI-
zation remains In the field after Its
older brethren have ceased their iabors
The programme offered at last nights
concert by Artur Bodanxky comprised
Beethoven's "corlolan" overture. Gold
marks violin concerto Ravefs Mother
Goose" suite and Gliere's symphonic
poem. 1.-THE Seasons" The solo yio-
linist was Francis Macnillen, who had
been heard once before Iva the course
OF the season.
It was on October II that Mr.. Mac
millen played the Goldmark concerto
with the National Symphony Orches-
ira, Mr.. BodanEky conducting. At that
time attention was sharply called to
the fact that this young American vio-
iintst had evidently been studying seri-
onsly since his previous appearance.
His playing had gained greatly in
roundness of tone as we'll as In smooth-
ness and clarity OF style. When he
was first heard here he played roughly
and his florid passages were often un-
Ineligible.
Again last evening the growth OF his
artistic mastery was noted. Indeed In
the cantilena portions OF the first move
ment his playing was Of high order.
while ne met the formidable difficult
ties of the brilliant bravura with COM
mendable skill.
There was nothing in the rest OF the
concert to demand comment. The en-
tertainment began more than twenty
minutes after the advertised time. IT
is pity that all concerts do not COM
mence promptly. Those who mean to
arrive late will do so. no matter at
what hour the music first sounds.
Those who wish to hear the whole Of
q concert should not be made to walt
upon the pleasure Of those who do

Prehistoric Lake Colonies Revealed
by Drought i'm Switzerland.
From the London Do1v Man.

From the London Daily Mdil
The three months drought on the
Swiss glaciers has caused the water OF
the lakes to sink so low that prehistoric
lake dwellings are visible at several
places.
At Greng. near the Lake of Morat.
the remains of a large settlement can
be seen. while by Lake Neuchatel. and
near Morges. on the Lake OF Geneva.
other interesting relics are visible.
These Swiss lake dwellings, which
were revealed to the world In 1854 by a
drought similar to the present one, are
believed to have been built as long as
1000 years ago. From about 5000 r.
G. people lived In them down almost TO
historic times The structure which
supported the wooden platforms on
which the dwellings were built was
made OF piles driven into the bottom
Of the lake
The platforms were fastened by
wooden pins and the huts made of wood
and clay. with hearths OF nat slabs or
stone. Bark. straw. reeds or rushes
formed the thatched roof. The huts.
which were partitloned into rooms, va
ried in size from 20 feet long by ~ feet
wide TO % feet long by 20 feet wide
The Morges village. one OF the largest
in the Lake OF Geneva, was 1900 feet
long and $50 feet wide. Numerous
relics have been found In the peaty
accumuatlons below the villages. show
