A War Memorial Tower
Monument With Altar, Archives
Lantern, Carlton Suggested

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: Since .he question of what form
shall be adopted for the great war
memorial to be erected in this city is
again before the committee and the
public, it would seem an cpportune
moment to offer a sugge estion for
type of memorial somewhat different
from those which l understand are
under consideration. In such an un-
dertaking there are three factors which
would logically appear to be essential
in order to produce monument worthy
to stand throughout the ages to come
1t must primarily be distinctvely
American in character, reflect the men
tality Of to-day and express the sig
nifcant ideas which inspire its crca-
ton; secondly. it should combine only
such utility as is fitting to the purpose
of its being; thirdly, and above all, it
should be fraught with such beauty,
grandeur and style that it will in
evitably for all time bring a thrill Of
pride and patriotism to the hearts Of
all who behold it. If these results can
be attained the large sum to be spent
on its erection will not have been
wasted.
I can imagine a sublimely soaring
tower about a thousand feet high. de-
signed as only present-day American
architects can succeed in creating, it's
exquisite and inspiring lines terminal
ing with huge lantern, the light from
which (granted that the monument
were erected on Washington Heights
or some similar altitude) would be
visible from an immense distance.
There should also be carlton Of
great bells, which should be rung on
victory day and similar national fcs-
tivals. On the ground floor l can pic
ture a large vaulted hall dedicated to
the fame of those heroes who made the
supreme sacrifice, commcmorating by
means of dignfed and artistic paint
ing, sculpture and stained glass the
ideals which inspired America to en-
ter the great war, and in the center of
tiiio udll uilSly CHlSclcu Iud1Dlc dl-
tar on which would rest huge bronze
covered volume, on the vellum pages of
which would be found illuminated the
name of every American who lost his
life in the service of his country, q
record of patriotic democracy for all
time. This alone would lend an in
tense personal interest to the masses
who shared the burden of the conflict
The light shining lightly at the
summit would symbolic the ideals of
truth and liberty, the long vertical
lines of the tower the just and up
right principles of the cause, while the
bells would peal forth their joyous
message of hope and victory.
There would naturally be a vast
amount of unoccupied space above the
ground floor, and this might be utilized
as archives to commemorate the spc-
cinl activities of both combatant and
non-combatant factors the army,
navy, air service, the Red Cross,
Knights of Columbus, Y. M. C. A., Sal
vation Army and similar institutions
so that as a memorial of the war it
would embrace every section of Ameri-
can effort. F. LYNN JENKINS.

Health by Return Mail

Boston's latest is mail order de-
partment of health.
Do you feel out of sorts this morn
ing, with bad mouth taste, or pain
somewhere, or the like? Then call
up the Municipal Health Informa-
tion Bureau. 1t will answer queries
and give advice by return post. The
only cost will be self-addressed and
stamped envelope.
The stitch in time that saves nine
applies even more to the body than
to clothes. Preventive medical sci
ence is the most effective antagonist
OF the graveyard. Every one knows
this and that the time to grapple
with a disorder is at the beginning.
But there are fees to be considered
and doctor is often difficult to get.
It is easier to let trouble drag
along and trust to luck and unassist-
ed nature. Then the specialist, espe-
cially when the patient is child, ar
rives late.
Recently an eminent New Yorker
seemed to expound the doctrine that
illness is strictly private affair
that for the. public to look after the
general health and the consequences
of its impairment ir some way will
encourage sickness. Happily Boston
does not espouse these views-is of
the opinion that it is worth while to
prevent epidemics and to protect
families against falling into state
of poverty, with the cost of their
maintenance burden to taxpayers.
If only disease germs were larger
and more visible! Then concerted
public action against them would
not be so much impeded. Should a
company of devouring lions invade a
community even the dullest would
realize the need Of joint efforts for
their determination. But bacteria,
alas! are microscopic, and few have
magnifying glasses to see them. So
many persons can't understand why
they should be attacked by health
policemen.

The Witchinx Hour

"All decent people should be in
bed by l." Such is the dictum Of
an eminent Uplifter. It is calculated
to startle even world familiar with
the intellectual divagations of Up
lifters. The quality of decency has
often been debated. 1t does not ap-
pear that universally satisfactory
definition has yet been reached. But
time limit on decency is something
new. BY what magic has / o'clock
in the morning become the witching
hour that divides the sheep from the
goats? Many respectable citizens
are not abed at that hour. Is their
respectability but a cloak for in
decency?
1t is hard to believe that virtue
can be so accidental. None will deny
that l O'Clock is a very good hour
to be abed. 1t is quite late enough
for those who have to be downtown
in the morning. Still, it is easy to
imagine sufficient reasons, not dis
creditable either, for being up even
later. Did the eminent Uplifter
mean to include the vast body OF
night workers in his catalogue Of
the indecent? Probably not. Yet he
makes no explicit exception. He may
be thinking only cf those of whose
ways, even by daylight, he disap-
proves. One o'clock is time to close
up cabarets and dances and other
diversions of the idle poor.
II propriety be largely a matter
OF latitude, decency may be largely
a matter of circumstance. In re-
mote communities doubtless prac-
tically all the decent people are in
bed by o'clock. There is nothing,
to. sit up for. But what peculiar
virtue can there be in any special
hour for the dwellers in well lighted
cities, where the performance is of
necessity continuous? The eminent
Uplifter obviously does not sit up

Rabbi Wise and Dr.. johnson

Rabbi Wise, we'll known for his
liberalism, complained in recent
Carnegie Hall sermon that liberty is
leading women astray. Gas if wom-
en- were to say Ito the mem: you
need not be as clean as we have been
but we shall be as unclean as you
have been.'" Nor does he soften
the impeachment by hoping that
women are pretending to adopt the
worst of mans nature to arouse him
to regeneration-a familiar trick of
comedies of an earlier decade.
We have but to turn to the pages
of that indefatigable listener, Bos-
we'll, to find that Dr.. johnson, the
omniscient conservative, warned re-
peatedly that de-angelizing woulo
start woman on the downward path
He was opposed to woman being
portrait artist: "Public practice
of any art, and staring in mems
faces, is very indelicate in female. u
Again:
He maintained the dignity and pro.
priety Of male succession, in opposi-
tior to the opinion of one of our
friends, who had that day employed
Mr. Chambers to draw his bill, devils
ing his estate to his three sisters. in
preference, to a remote male heir.
johnson called them "three dowdies. y
and said, with as high 4 spirit as the
boldest baron in the most perfect DAYS
of the feudal system: "An ancient
estate should always go to males. 1t
is mighty foolish to let stranger have
1t because he marries your daughter,
and takes your name. AS for an es-
tate newly acquired by trade, you may
give it, if you will, to the dog Towser,
and.l let him keep his o,on name"
Speaking in favor of marrying a
woman with money, rather than
merely for love. johnson said:
"A woman Of fortune being used to
the handling of money, spends it ju-
dicicusly: but a woman who gets the
command Of money for the first time
upon her marriage has such a gust in
spending it that she throws it away
with great profusion."
So much for his general attitude
toward women. Now for the single
and double standards. Hiy argu-
naent was perhaps best brought. out

New Baseball indictments

Tho baseball scandal Of 1919 will
not down. A Chicago grand jury
has just indicted eighteen men, in
cluding the thirteen whose cases
were recently taken OF the court
docket. This time the prosecutor is
confident that he can push the trials
through.
The baseball season opens in a
couple of weeks, and it would have
opened with stain on the greatest
Of American sports if nothing had
been done to offset the impression
that the courts were powerless to
punish players who had turned a
worlds series into gamblers
frame-up. The great hold of base
ball on the public has been due to
the belief that it was not an annex
to the poolrooms and the handbook
industry. Petty gambling in the
stands has been an open annoyance
in some cities. But this can be kept
under control. A working alliance
between baseball stars and the big
gamblers outside the parks would
mean the end of thet old enthusiasm
for what is generally conceived to
be-and usually has been-a game
played honestly for the games sake.
Baseball has fourished because of
the conviction that it was free from
the thrown game taint. 1t cannot
continue to flourish on any other
basis.

Motion Picture Tax
To the Editor of The Tribune.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: Your editorial advocating a
21s cent piece is to be commended.
However, your illustration about NOV
ing picture theaters is not well tsken.
If am correctly informed the wording
of the luxury tax act applied to the
aters is zone cent on each 10 cents or
fraction thereof" The correct tax on
a 25-cent admission is, therefore, three
cents. M. j. LEDER.

A Fatal Defect

1t is true that Washington has sue
ceedcd Paris as the center of world di-
plomacy, but it is by no means certain
that Washington ever will overcome the
handicap of having no Quay d'Orsay,

Happy Hearted

Happy hearted, happy hearted,
Lettering by the meadow brook!
Should you, like the willows, lear
In some lucid pool to look,
Would you see their placid green
Mirrored over you? Or sprays .
Of the pink-piled apple bloom
Seen through tears in other days?
When, beneath it's rosy gloom,
We two parted,
Broken hearted, broken hearted.
Happy hearted,' happy hearted,
Dreaming Mays bright hours
away!
Bend, indeed, where violets
break
Through blown grasses, fresh as
they.
Bend, and of their beauties make
Bunches fit to match your dream.
But beware the willow shade!
Lest the mirror of the stream
Show, indeed, the rosy glade
Where we parted,
Broken hearted, broken hearted.
