Gowns Fly the Channel.

The possibilities Of commercial avi-
alton under favorable circumstances
are indicated in report made By the
Department of Commerce on British
aerial trade in 1920. The United
Kingdom imported articles valued at
EG67,047 and exported articles valued
at G339,10s. an aggregate Of more than
a million sterling.
Nearby France was Of course the
principal market The leading items
In the British aerial import list are
women's clothing and furs. or these
f3S5,000 worth were sent from France
by air. They were light, costly and
needed quickly-three points which
aid in the flying freight business.
Woman's wishes always rule trade.
COLUMBUS might not have dared the
short route TO China if II were not
for the silks that. European women
demanded OF their husbands. So IL Is
easy TO understand why the British
air machines carry such cargoes as
they do. Milady's gown must be from
Paris and 1t must be here at once !!

The only question about this sales tax

If it has to come that way?
! should say that the adjustment of
the income and inheritance taxes so
that they are reasonable and will pro-
duce the most actual and not theoreti-

make the rich and the poor contribute

Motor Truck Competition.
1t Affects the Highways as Well rs
Railroad Earnings.

To THE NEW YORK HERALD: Are we
going to pay doubly for the poor earn
ings OF the Eastern railroads?
They are now competing with trucks
for the freight business Of the East
Are these trucks running on free road
beds and escaping an upkeep cost that
will later be borne by taxpayers? The
trucks have caused serious damage to
the best paying freight business of East
ern railroads because they have the ad-
vantage OF good roads now. We hear
complaints. however. from road COM
missioners. who are particularly bitter
against the larger trucks. VIII our
highways and railroads both go to ruin
together?
/ believe that roads like the Pennsyi-
vania, the New York Central and the
New England roads should Immediately
institute factory to store delivery sys-
TENS for their own stockholders protec-
ton and for the sake OF taxpayers on
whom the burden OF road uplleep will
fall
1t is announced that two large roads
are to institute a package car service
from New York and New England to
Mississippi Valley points. Why not take
in all freight? This would be a benefit
to taxpayers and would save some rail-
roads. WILLIAM O'KEEFE, Jr.

If Game Laws Prevailed.
4 Prospect Of Ten Cent Lobster and
Striped Bass for All.

To THE NEW YORK HERALD: With
regard to the proposal TO turn the work
OF the game protectors over to the State
police and other law enforcing agen-
cies. wish to say that any day at
Sheepshead Bay or Gravesend Bay you
can buy short Holsters. New York
waters are still good lobster grounds,
and with the present propagation meth
DDS and fair protection we could again
eat Holsters at ten cents a pound.
Owing to the great volume OF fresh
water pouring down the Hudson, the
bays about New York are still bounti-
full hatcheries and nurseries, for many
species of fish. But daily In the season
thousands OF baby fish-none are too
small--are scooped up. sometimes as
many as thousand striped bass at one
haul-enough to line the shore from
Coney Island 10 Far Rockaway with
ardent fishermen. for who would not be
satisfied with one striper a day?
Yet some folks don't want n change
in the present methods of game protec-
ton. How long shall Father Knicker-
booker suffer? Hr JULIUS.

Beethoven Associations Concert.

The Beethoven Association gave Its
fifth concert in Acolian Hall last even
Ing. The programme comprised Beetho-
yens = flat quartet. opus 1870; three
songs Of Schubert and two Of Schumann
and the Brahms piano quintet The as
ISOLATION has succeeded admirably In re-
tanning the interest OF the musical pro-
fession In its high artistic purpose.
Without the voluntary cooperation OF
the musicians such concerts as this or
ganization gives would be impossible.
The Beethoven composition was played
by the Lett Quartet Doubtless no one
among the deeply absorbed auditors
found anything mystic or puzzling In
this composition. which used to be
viewed timorously with the Delphic
utterances of the masters last period.
It sounded clear and beautiful last
evening except when the intonaton OF
the players was not all that 1t might
have been.
For the songs the association had the
services of no less distinguished an In
terpreter than George Hamlin, who Tor
years has been one OF the foremost ex-
ponents OF the art OF lieder singing.
The ubiquitous Conrad Bos was the ae-
companist. In the presentation OF the
Brahms quintet the Lett Quartet was
joined by Josef Hoffman,, the famous
pianist. who has appeared SO rarely as
chamber music player that his assist
ance might be called an event. The
audience occupied all the seats and the
applause was OF the kind whose signtfi-
canoe cannot be mistaken.

extensive coast line. and an argument
for It's Incorporation in Alabama might
well be based on geographical con-

Marine Workers Do Their Bit.

When the marine workers employed
by the railroads in and around New
York agree to drastic wage read
justment they do more than wise
thing for themselves; they do public
spirited thing for this community and
the whole country. Scattered organi-
cations cannot by their own unaided
efforts break the deadlock which grips
the nations industries from the At
lantic to the Pacific. BY themselves
they cannot put down distributing
costs and manufacturing costs to the
point where the productive machinery
will again be free to run. To bring
about that result everybody must lend
hand.
But the marine workers do preserve
their jobs, which have been melting
away as the commerce movement has
slowed down. They do set an eX-
ample to others, both employees and
employers, thar still cling 70 the eco
nonsic lunacy that war wages, war
prices and war profits can continue
I'm this country when nations the
world over are settling down to
peace basis again.
The horse sense which has not left
these marine workers is sure to be
restored sooner or later TO those that
have been bereft of theirs. When they
learn by hard experience that the
industrial wheels will not turn again
until lowered production costs release
the locked wheels and when they find
that they are losing their Jobs and
cannot get them back until the wheels
do turn again they will come to their
senses. But waiting till the whole
machinery stops, the country sinks
into dry rot and millions of workers
are beggared Is not the American way
to learn how to make or hold a job
and keep up the national supply of
bread and butter. The American way
is not to let the machinery stop and
the plant 60 dark. The American way
r. 10 do what Is needed TO put more
steam into the engine and hit M the
speed.
This is as good doctrine for the wage
payer as 1t Is for the wage Garner.
IT applies with equal force to the steel
plant manager and the railway presi-
dent as to the day laborer and the
skilled mechanic. Each has his duty
TO do.
During the war an expression
which was on all lips was DO your
bit" Nobody did his bit better III
those days. helping to get through the
war, than the New York marine
worker does now when he takes re
adjusted wage 10 help himself, his
neighbor and his country to get back
to n peace basis.

French Violinist Heard With Orchestra
National Symphony in Final Programme of Regular
Series, Mime. Chennet Being the Sooist.

William Mengelberg conducted the
National Symphony Orchestra yesterday
afternoon in Carnegie Hail in the final
programme of his regular series. He
will preside over the same entertain
ment when II Is repeated this evening.
and will direct a farewell concert on
Friday night The next morning. as
early as the steamer will take him. he
Will hasten toward home. as all good
European musicians do after visiting
this country. Mr.. Mengelberg will re-
turn next season to conduct some OF the
concerts OF the distended Philharmonic
Society.
The programme of yesterday consisted
OF Beethoven's 'Eroica" symphony. the
b minor violin concerto of Saint-Saens
and Richard Strauss Death and
Transformation" A new violinlst was
heard. one not only pleasing to listen to.
but good to see This was Mime. Renee
Chemet. a pupil OF Berthelier and a pre-
mier prix at the Paris Conservatoire In
1902. She has had much experience.
having played with all the leading Eu
ropean orchestras.
She proved herself to be a good violin
ist. possessed of tone, technic, a certain
amount of style and authority Her
intonation was one of her best assets
and her dash IN bravura passages an
other. In the cantilena parts of the
concerto she disclosed some mannerism,
particularly a habit of beginning every
phrase moderate or piano and instantly
swelling IL. But 1t seems unnecessary
to emphasize such minor matters. The
chief shortcoming of this artist appeared
to be imagination. She played the con-
certo very well indeed. but with limited
exposition of it's perfumed sentiment. its
Gallo graces and its elegant reflections.
Mr.. Mengelberg's reading of Bee
thoven's "!crolca" was in his most en-
phatic style. If there was anywhere an
accent which he did not strike with
force. subsidiary phrase which he did
not lift into the glare of publicity, or
biare OF brass which he did not trans
form into a blast, one nearer missed It.
The first movement went swiftly. the
funeral march most funereally and the
scherzo most roughly. But the public
is now satisfied that Mr.. Mengelberg is
great conductor and whatever he does
Is welcomed with acclamations.

Dining Without Food.

While III. G. WELLS Is devoting him.
self to the past of man, the future of
the race is not altogether neglected.
In the March Forum RICHARD l.. GAR
NER, In an essay on Man as He VIII
Be-" declares that the progress of the
human race will follow the lines Of
refinement 80 far that eventually we
shall cease altogether to eat food or
drink liquids.
This prophet points out that few
thousand years ago a man starting on
five day journey could scarcely
carry enough food to last him. To-
day a full days ration OF concen-
trated food can be carried, In tablet
form, in one waistcoat pocket. SO in
future. Mr.. GARNER reasons, man will
progress so far In the process of all
mentation that he will cease to eat
rs the other animals do:
Tn the distant future. instead OF
the barbarous custom Of assembling
guests around an altar Of immolation,
called table, to witness the carv-
ing or dissecting OF cadaver. whose
form may yet be recognized. the host
OF that day will assemble his guests
about table adorned with exotic
flowers from which will be exhaled
invisible fumes OF ambrosial proteids,
with exquisite odors that will fill the
air with vital essence and stimulate
the olfactory and palatal nerves to
the verge OF intoxication. and by
some yet TO be discovered means abb
sorb the necessary food"
We are sure the imagined pro-
gramme would appeal to ladies who
are trying to reduce. In fact, Mr..
GARNER assures us that in the per-
fumed future 'the human lgure VIII
become thing Of beauty, the very
idea, Of which we are not now able
to conceive"
The programme IL magnificent but
sad. No broiled chicken, no baked
beans, no lemon meringue pie? Moth
Ing but ambrosial aroma and CONVEX
sation at dinner? All, not even con-
versation, as we know 1t now. Mr..
GARNER peers into the future OF talk
as we'll rs Of turkey. Man of the
pieless age will talk by telepathy.

OF the past few days will be well
coined by the sugar makers of New
England and New York. The sugar
maple IS splendid tree 70 look at,
but 1t is also source OF income TO
the farmer at season when he has
time on his hand. and there are few
northern wood lots which do not
boast number OF these trees.
Under the old system sugar was
made in a rather crude fashion. The
trees were tapped by glancing cut
Of the axe, and the channels down
which the sap ran to the home made
buckets or troughs were fashioned Of
wood. The sap was collected by men
with yokes hung about their shoulders
and the material was cooked In great
open kettles In the heart of the woods.
Sugar making under these conditions
was strenuous
Later days brought improvements In
the methods, and to-day the task is
lightened of much of Its focmer
drudgery. There are instruments to
tell when the syrup Is ready and
also to determine the necessary de-
gree Of cooking If sugar is to be made.
Formerly tests were made In pan
filed with snow and the youth of the
rural regions were always on hand
to share IN the sugaring off, which
was the term applied when the ma
terial was ready to be poured into
the mouds or dishes awaiting it.
No visitor at a country house in
New England or across the border In
Quebec or Ontario will ever forget
the taste Of the sugar brought out
from It's hiding place and distributed
as a treat. And If the stay included
IN evening meal the hot biscuits with
maple syrup had an appeal long to
be remembered.

Service at the Panama Canal.

One of the employees OF the Panama
Canal who recently volunteered to
help extinguish the flames discovered
in a vessel tied up to a Balboa pier
subsequently asked permission of the
Governor OF the Canal Zone TO libel
the hull in an effort to enforce pay
ment for his services, and this action
has brought from Colonel JAY J. NOR
ROW, acting Governor. an order which
is Of interest to all mariners and TO
all Americans who are curious about
the manner III which affairs are man.
aged In the Canal Zone. Governor
MORROW wrote:
This employee was on duty at the
time he proceeded to the assistance
sof the vessel, although not on duty
with reference to that vessel.
1T Is the belief of the Governor
that all employees of the Panama
Canal should be considered available
for such emergency work as Is in
volved in rendering assistance to a
vessel on fire within the confines OF
the port OF Balboa without laying
the vessel liable to libel for salvage
The Governor considers that all ship
ping within the Canal prism. or, 10
be exact. within the limits marSed
by the sea buoys at Balboa and the
breakwater at Cristobal, have
right to expect any assistance from
the equipment and personnel OF the
Panama Canal which is necessary
for their proper care, preservation
and handling in Canal Zone waters.
"He believes that the equipment
of the Canal Zone is maintained for
the above purpose; and that the
reputation OF the Canal for fair u-ai-
Ing requires that the above View
point be insisted upon and main
tanned.
in view of the above, the Gov
ernor will not approve In future any
proposal to libel vessels for assist
ance In emergencies within the Canal
waters; and II any such libel Is
placed by Canal employee 1t will
be considered that such employee
has taken action which is inimical
to the best interests Of the Canal
even though such action technically
be within the law"
There are practical considerations
which make this stand wise, but 1t
is evident that the Governor has a
broader view than this. He Is anxious
TO build up for the Canal establish
ment n reputation for service.

Farmer DooLIrTLE had signed col
umn In the Eagle.
On his way TO Kansas he stopped In
Illinois and lived for several years In
the town where LINCOLN practised
law. He travelled around the circuit
In the great Douglas-LincaIa debate
and he developed an admiration that
amounted almost TO idolatry for LIN
COLIN. He talked with him often, he
absorbed his homely philosophy and
his humanity and he had TO express
Sit In his column. He kept this column
going for twenty or twenty-five years
and he might have continued it longer
had nor his love for the outdoors
drawn him more and more from his
desk
He went the round of his beat; he
stopped writing of cowboys ANA In
dams TO write of land booms, OF high
society and the teas. operas and the
aires that came with the growth Of
the town. He saw the changes in
Kansas politics that arrived when his
friends, INGALLS, and PLUME. gave way
to PETER and MARY ELLEN LEASE.
He saw HENRY ALLEN, full of energy,
swoop down on Wichita and start a
rival paper across the street from the
Eagle. He saw the Sunfiower State
enrolling in literature Instead OF
NOBLE PRENTIss and EUGENE WARE,
the names Of ED HOWE, who expressed
broader and better the homely phlloso-
ply that Farmer DooL1TTLE best
liked Mrs. MARGARET HILL McCARrER
and WILLIAM ALLEN WHITE.
Farmer DooLIrrLE was contented
with his paper and never ventured
far afield in literature. Wichita was
once school for newspaper men, as
soon as they could they sought the
metropolitan press. Big cities are
noisy and confusing, said the Farmer.
explaining why he chose to stay in
Wichita. If his route developed no
items he would write Of the Douglas
Lincoln debate, story of ABRAHAM
LINCOLN, of the days when BILL
MATHEwsoN was shooting buffaioes,
or when gold hunters were travelling
over the Santa re trail to Pixies Peak.
When the spring first came and the
boys and the tonboys playing truant
came down around the office. the
seven foot Farmer and the three foot
boys and girls all of the same age
went down to the bank of the Ar
kansas and fished. The Eagle might
the next morning suffer several beats,
but 1t would have good plea for
stocking the Arkansas with game fish
and opening it to navigation.
His friends told Farmer DooLITTLE
when he was go that he was old
enough to stop work. He did not be-
lieve this any more than he did when
the same friends told him the same
thing three days before he died at the
age Of 81. Almost to the end he went
on with his pleasant work of gather
ing local news items for the Eagle,
which, under father and sons, he
served SO long and happily.
