Saving Childhood

In some districts of Manhattan re-
side more than 1000 persons per
acre. The total park area is 1,444
acres or about 1900 persons per
acre of park. And Central Park,
valuable as it is, which includes most
of the park acreage, is inaccessible
to the great masses of the popula-
ton. To hundreds Of thousands
Manhattan is practically parkless.
The results are bad. AS George
Gordon Battle, president of the
Parks and Fairgrounds Association,
points out, the principal cause of
child deaths through accident is the
fact that the street is the chief play
space. Board of Health statistics
show that the general death rate
goes down in park neighborhoods
and up elsewhere. Juvenile delin-
quency increases and decreases ac-
cording as there is presence or ab-
sence of opportunity to expend
youthful activity wholesomely.
An eloquent appeal thus goes to
the Board of Estimate to avert the
threatened closing of Fairgrounds.
The boys and girls should have a
chance. The number of block parks
should be greatly enlarged. If money
must be saved it should not be by
denying to the young expression of
the playing instinct. What can the
city government be thinking of that
it even meditates striking at the
Fairgrounds system?

rally, on the outermost fringe of the
Bahama archipelago, SO that any one
of them could have been reached by
Columbus directly from the Atlantic
without passing by other land. New
Providence, on, the contrary, lies in
the very heart Of the group, and
could not have been reached by
Columbus without passing through a
narrow, winding channel close to the
shores Of some other islands--Cat
Island, Eleuthera or Grand Abaco.
1t certainly would have been extraor-
dinary, and quite contrary to the
plain intimations of his report to the
Spanish sovereigns, for him thus to
have sailed past other islands before
making his landing.
The scientific world will await
with much interest the demonstra-
tion that "the authentic landing
place" of the Admiral was on an
island which has never before been
so much as suggested as entitled to
that distinction.

Golf s Dark Horses

To the Editor of The Tribune
Sir: Your editorial of to-day on ''Who
Is Hunter?" hits the nail squarely
on the head. ANY one who has pulled
off 275-yard drive, dubbed his brassie,
fallen short on his pitch-up and then
holed out with forty-foot putt knows
that golf is the premier game when it
comes to the devil loving shining
mark. The dark horse in a tournament
who isn't straining to live up to a repu-
tation has all the better of it. A lot
of credit is due our players, but the
outcome is not bit surprising.
And, by the way, there are a lot Of
Hunters in this town who wonder if
something isn't wrong with the system
which makes them wait five and six
hours at Van Cortlandt for a chance to
tee off. About as bad, too, at Pelham.

ceived about Wizards Nation-its

rupled since they became Bolshevist. 4"
The publication of the letter ap-
parently prevented a landing in the
soft job at De PAW, but the profess
sor gained some satisfaction by de-
nouncing the narrowness of Amer
lea. Like his Russian friends, he
would not be averse, one gathers, to
shooting his opinions into others, but
to\be refused opportunity to live at
the expense of taxpayers or endow-
ments is an internal outrage. Who
will say that the modern world is
lacking in humor?

Horace Porter

1t was the happy fortune Of
Horace Porter to enhance his own
title to fame through cherishing and
adoring the memory OF others. 1t
was he who successfully took the
lead in securing the funds for the
building Of Grants Tomb on the
crest of Riverside--an arduous task,
but labor of love in behalf of the
great commander with whom he had
been SO intimately associated. 1t
was he, too, who, at the cost of years
of tedious toll and of heavy expense
to his private purse, discovered the
long-lost grave of John Paul Jones
and brought the dust of our first
great sea captain home to be en-
shrined where succeeding genera
tions of seamen are trained to emu
late his example.
But the, other services Of General
Porter in peace and war were numer-
GUS. The Congressional Medal of
Honor attested the distinguished
character of his actions in the chief
campaigns of the Civil War, from
Pulaski through Chickamauga and
the Wilderness to Appomattox. Eight
years Ambassador to France, in
cluding the trying period of the
Spanish War, he added new distinc-
tion to American diplomacy, justify
ing his own declaration that 'sDiplo-
macy is not the science of present.
ing the broadest falsehood with the
straightest face, nor should the
word carry with it the demeaning
idea of craftiness. The profession
has risen to higher plane" AS
one of our delegates to the second
Peace Congress at The Hague he
easily ranked among the leaders of
that distinguished international
body.
He had the gift of speech. His
memorial orations on five great his
toric occasions-at the Washington
Arch, Grants Tomb, the Rocham-
beau statue, the West Point cente-
nary and the Tomb of Paul Jones'
made distinct and valued additions
to the treasury of American patri-
otic eloquence. His ideal of the
American soldier was not unworthy
to stand by the side of Paul Jones's
portrayal of the American sailor
His advocacy of rational prepared
ness as a safeguard of peace, his
unblemished business record, his un-
failing social charm and his engag-
ing personality in both public and
private relationships all contributed
to the completion of an exception
ally well-rounded and public-spirited
career, the ending of which, "full of
honor and years." compels regret
which is counterbalanced by CRATE
full appreciation of the rich gifts of
achievement and example which it
has left to his fellow countrymen.

One Professor

The Better America Federation Of

W. Calhoun (who when writing was

Professor Calhoun discusses "the

Trees and the Law

William Hohenzollern, a little
short of cash, recently tried to sell
some Of his Doom woodland, the
buyers proposing to cut the trees
down and use the ground for house
sites and gardens. The Netherlands
government intervened with an alb
solute injunction against telling the
trees, and then the Doorn munich
pality generously purchased the
land, to be preserved as forest.
In such protection of trees there
ls suggestion which the United
States might we'll consider. If the
Netherlands government can thus
prevent the cutting off of private
woodlands without raising a revolt of
the sturdy and independent burgh-
ers the United States, or the sepa-
rate members of this Republic, ought
10 be able to do something to check
the needless and wasteful destruc-
tlon OF trees, not alone in the great
forest areas which still exist in some
places, but also in and about our
cities and towns.
A case in point is presented by one

American Babies First

Sir; l have read with interest the
news concerning the importation of

own institutions ana it would be an
American baby.
My argument is not against the
adoption of these babies; it is for the
adoption of our own, Charity, Ameri-
canism, etc. should begin at home
right here in America. If we have no
babies in our institutions, why, that is
another matter. Neither could one
recommend the adoption of units. but
good, wholesome babies there are in
plenty.

Bonus Discrimination
To the Editor of The Tribune.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: In The Tribune of Nav ID 7
read letter on Residence and the
Bonus" which I think is very apropos
at present.
In these days of strenuous living
there is surely large number of men
who are constantly changing their.
domicile. Is it right that they should
be Disseminated against?
Take the writer's case: He is able
to trace his American ancestry back
to pre-Revolutionary days and for
considerable period in the State of New
York. In 1917 he was working in the
mining game in Arizona. At the COM
mencement Of hostilities he returned
to New York and enlisted in the 7th
Infantry Of the 9th Division. He
served exactly twenty-four months in
various branches of the infantry and
saw twelve months service in the A. E.
F. Mustered out in 1919, he went West
to study mining at q Middle Western
mining school of good standing. On
November 2, 1920, he voted in the State
of Missouri, and now finds himself be-
tween the devil and the deep blue sea.
He cannot claim bonus in Missouri
and New York will have none of him.

Where Columbus Landed

If authoritative, a recent dispatch
from Rochester was of extraordinary
historical and geographical impor-
tance as indicating the settlement Of
a problem which has vexed the world
for many generations and which for
a long time had been regarded as
insoluble. 1t was to the effect that
the New York State Council of the
Knights of Columbus had taken ad-
vantage of an opportunity to pur-
chase tract of 1900 acres at Mas
sau, Bahama Islands, (which in
cludes the authentic landing place of
Christopher Columbus" It is naIvely
added that "this is regarded as one
of the biggest things the order has
ever achieved"
1t certainly is all of that if the
statement about the landing place of
the Admiral be true. But in that
case we shall have to rewrite lot of
history and geography and throw
into the discard all that has hitherto
been believed and argued on the sub
ject. No. doubt the landing place
was on one of the Bahamas. But
that group comprises 36 islands, 687
Gays and 2,414 rocks. Which of all
these was Guanahani or San Sal
vador?
Eminent authorities have claimed
the distinction for five of them, but
not including New Providence, on
which Nassau stands. Until the
middle of the last century Cat Island
was generally accepted as the favored
spot. Since then Watling's Island
has enjoyed the distinction, and upon
1t a monument in token of the fact
has been erected. Samana, or Att
woods Cay, was selected by some
officers of the United States Coast
Survey; Mariguana was chosen by
+. A. de Varnhagen, and Turks
Island was insisted upon by Navar-
rete and other Latin-American au-
thorities. Not one of these is within
hundred miles of New Providence,
Moreover, all these five are, natu-

A Year of Arson

Have we become nation of incen-
diaries? The fire record for 1920
seems to justify the query. For
many years the nations fire losses
have been large, compared with
those of other lands, but the record
for 1920 is so uniquely enormous as
to suggest wholesale arson.
According to the figures of the Ma
tional Board of Fire Underwriters
the losses in 1920 were $500, 100000.
This is nearly SIS per capita and is IS
per cent more than in the preceding
year and 121 per cent more than the
average for the preceding ten years.
1t is nearly 72 per cen5 more than
the figures for any former year, save
only 1906, the year of the San Fran
cisco earthquake.
The report of $4,000 suspicious"
fires supports the committees sug-
gestion that bad business conditions
nave prompted practlce OF the adage
that "it is easier to burn out than
to sell out" Conceding that the or
dinary causes Of fires-fimsy con-
struction, carelessness and the like
were more active last year than
ever before, there still remain losses
Of $200,000,000, or 40 per cent of the
whole, to be accounted for. To say
that so great an increase came from
natural and innocent causes would
be to overtax credulity. There is oc-
casion for the underwriters commit
tee on incendiarism and arson to get
busy. If the law cannot make in
cendiarism dangerous, the under
writer's should devise ways of max
ing it improbable.

Senator Moses VS.. Mothers

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: There has just come to my at
tention a statement by Senator Moses
in which he calls the Sheppard -Towner
maternity measure pork barrel" bill.
On the one hand you have the un-
deniable fact that every year in the
United States there are $4,000 maternal
deaths and loss of $4,000 babies
under one year of age.
On the other hand you have Senator
Moses's unsupported statement that
the bill which is designed to wipe out
this disgraceful record Is "pork-
barrel" bill; that it is the project of a
few women who have money to burn
and time to lose.
have seen almost every statement
which has been made both for and

ure which is based upon single valid
and cogent objection.

Edison Test Approved

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: Is it possible that. no one ap-
proves Mr.. Edison's method of sound
ing general knowledge? Many who
have appeared in the newspapers with
proposed questions, with a view OF
poking fun at Mr.. Edison, have sue
cecded in adding to the "gayety of
nations," but the plan criticized really
commands approval.
1t would seem that it is Mr.. Edisou's
way of measuring the man, and we
have yet to see one word which sub
stantiates good objection. Failure to
answer questions is annoying to the
one who fails, but we have no short
way Of finding what a man knows but
by asking him. A. P. BACHMAN.
