 There is no other man or woman between us. We quietly arranged our parting. We just couldn't get along. My husband Is not Of the theatre world. He could not understand my in the pictures.

Fixing the Easter Date.
Proposal to Restrict the Choice t.
One Of Seven DAYS In April.

To THE New YORK HERALD: note the
proposal to hold a conference to discuss
method Of determining the day on
which Easter should be observed. The
subject is one Of universal interest, both
to the religious and the secular world.
The day must Of necessity be Sun
day: therefore 1t cannot be fixed day
like washington's Birthday but must
vary from year to year. At present 1t
ranges back and forth through thirty
four days between March % and April
rs. The day has passed when this lati-
tude was considered necessary. 1t should
now be brought nearer to the true date,
April s. -.
Such change cannot be accomplished
in the coming year. We must therefore
look forward to Easter of April 1. 1923.
and make that the initial date Of new
system in which April and shall con-
stitute the limiting dates: 1. 2. 3. 4. s,
8. z.
Rule: Whenever the first Sunday In
April falls on any one of these days that
Sunday shall be celebrated as Easter
Sunday.

hope of all humanity for the elinii-
nation of wars. And there is no
phase of war which men hate so much
as the cruel, barbaric methods to
which science has been prostituted
for the sake of killing.
For four years the world was sick
ened by horrors that came from
mans ingenuity. The submarine
and poison gas were the worst of the
vile instruments. But no man who
saw the gas swept fields of Europe
or the wrecks OF gassed soldiers has
anything but hatred for this brutal
weapon.
Let the submarine go! Let gas go!
Let every rank, unnatural form of
warfare be swept from the pro-
gramme of honorable battle even
though this include the airplane as
an instrument of war. If bloodshed
must come again-which Con forbid!
let it be clean killing. Away with
the weapons of the viper!

members Of the colored race have made
strides for the betterment Of themselves

tionai and political life Of this nation.
And I may add in every walk Of life
he has proved himself not only fit but
thoroughly fit.

Census Bureau the advisability Of re-
search in this field becomes apparent
Especially is this shown in the sta
tistics of the larger cities of the regis
tration area where, in 1917, year
free from epidemics, the death rate
varied from S.6 to 20 to the thousand
OF population. With its tremendous
resources for the protection OF life
there is no reason why the death rate
in the United States should be one-half
greater than that of the Australian
Commonwealth. And II by good man
agement the city of Seattle, or Port
land, Oregon, or Saint Paul can
reduce it's death rate as low as 10 to
the thousand OF population there
seems to be something wrong with
the health management Of commu-
nifty whose rate is materially higher
than IA to the thousand. AS a mat
ter Of fact many biologists are of the
opinion that the general death rate
in the United States is reducible to
10 to the thousand.

In the last thirty or forty years
medical science has wrought great
results in stamping out such diseases
as typhoid, scarlet fever and diph-
iberia. Yellow fever, Asiatic cholera
and the bubonic plague are not likely
ever to pass sporadic stage in the
United States. The efforts Of medi-
cal and sanitary science In subduing
such scourges have had the effect Of
lowering the death rate about one
half In the past fifty wears.
Recently the most extensive move
ment ever organized for the study
Of public health has been taking
shape. Its purpose is the investiga-
tion of air and air conditions in their
relation to health. This Is a long
neglected field of research which now
confronts the ecologist, and the ne
cessity for the work has been i'm
pressed upon both medical and me-
neurological science by a study Of
mortality statistics. 1t is a problem
to determine the relations between
the air and mortality in terms Of
human life, human health and human
efficiency.
OF the various factors Of the air
as they affect health, the one upper
most in the mind is temperature.
But q preliminary investigation
shows that the death rate varies with
humidity to a greater degree than
with temperature. The excessive
death rate of January over that of
any summer month has usually been
charged to the sudden onset of low
temperatures: but even a skin deep
investigation has shown that the fall
OF the thermometer has but little
to do with the great number OF
deaths during that month. The
causes therefore must be sought In
one or more of such factors as humid.
ity, movement and pollution Of the
air. or, perhaps, in differences in the
amount of sunlight. in chemical com
position and in electriflcation.
These are the problems which a
bakers dozen of organizations have
united to study. They include mem
bers OF the research departments of
two universities, several insurance
corporations. the United States Public
Health Service, the United States
Weather Bureau, the Medical Re-
search Committee OF London and the
American Meteorological Society. DR..
ELLSWORTH HUNTINGTON, an author

general committee.

Armament Profit and Loss.

Evidently the multitude Of eco
nomic advantages which would re-
suit from the reduction Of ornaments,
aside and apart from the Government
budget savings, are not fully realized
by everybody. There is still a minor
ity of individuals who profess to sec
disaster ahead for this or that indus
try, particularly the steel companies,
and also for labor employed by these
companies and by the various navy
yards with the Hughes proposal in
effect.
If all the employees of the steel
companies and Of the navy yards
had to be thrown out Of employ
ment and pensioned for life drastic
armament reductions would still be
worth while. But no such wide
spread hardship would result. The
reduction in taxes, the capital freed
for other uses, the increase in
world tranquility and the diversion
of Government incomes in all coun-
tries to better purposes than mill
tarism would act as stimulant to
production in other lines outside the
building of battleships. Instead Of
less employment there would be a
great deal more.
Money does not lie idle. If it Is
preempted by the Government to
finance armament it must be taken
from private investors and savers.
The volume OF capital owned by any
nation will account for certain
volume of production in good times
as in bad. If the Government com
mandeers by taxation more than can
properly be spared by private indus
try not only is the private citizens
buying power usurped and his share
Of consumable things cut down but
competition for the remaining supply
of capital grows and the public pays
the piper in higher prices.
The quantity Of iron and steel
which goes into battleships is not
large in proportion to the total pro
duction of that commodity. II thirty
warships requiring 10000 tons OF
steel each were completed every year
less than one ton would 60 into bat
tleships for every eighty tons ol
steel produced. But the purchasing
power checked off the account Of pri
vate citizens and covered over t.
Governments for armament purposes
and for army and navy upkeep Is
formidable. The proportion of such
expenditures to total Government re
ceipts and the part they play in keep
ing taxes up beyond the bearable
limit has been too often pointed out
to require repetition.

Conserving Child Health.
Conference Shows English and
American Problems Similar.

From, Bulletin of Department Of Health.
The second English speaking confer
ence on infant welfare was held in Lon
don, England. last July, under the aus
pices Of the National League for Health.
Maternity and Child Welfare. and was
attended by approximately 500 delegates
representing twenty-six English speak
ing countries. The United States Public
Health Service, the American Public
Health Association and the American
Child Hygiene Association were repre-
sented by DR.. Tallaferro Clark of the
United States Public Health Service.
Dr. Clark states in his report Of the
conference published in a recent issue
of Public Health Reports:
"The writer brings away from this
conference the general impression that
the English speaking people are deeply
impressed with the necessity and impor-
tance of conserving maternal and infant
life. The papers read at this conference
showed keen insight into the prob
lens of maternal and child hygiene
The writer was also impressed by the
fact that a number of the papers gave
| evidence that the British Government Is
! much more liberal with appropriations
for child health work than Is the case
In our own country. and that the CO.
ordination OF the activities of volunteer
associations with those of the official
agencies Is much closer than Is gener-
ally the case with us.
FINALLY. II must be noted the confer.
ence made clear that. fundamentally
the solution OF the problems of chile
hygiene in other English speaking coun.
tries Is the same as In America. The
essential principles of child and mater
nal health conservation are equally wei
understood by all. but the practical ap
plication Of this knowledge can never b'
wholly the same In England as In th'
United States. due to the necessity o
different angles of approach. However
the calling into conference of representa-
tivcs from far distant countries for thu
purpose Of exchanging views cannot hell
but be fruitful OF good results"
