Although Lady Dalrymple has not had
a tremendous amount of business expe-

WINGED the Moorland concern that she
might make n good business woman.

that afternoon had a revelation OF
what can be accomplished by mas
ter reinsman and game horse.
Single G in other hands had been
racing indifferently at that period
and he was not considered factor
in the event In which he was piloted
by the Tennesseean. How horse and
man fought their way into a COM
manding position in the early stages
of the race despite odds which would
have unnerved a less courageous pair
is history. The brilliant rush which
finally brought winning heat and a
position of vantage at the pole is
also down in the records. No printed
account, however. can convey an idea
OF the scene when the race was over
and the crowd cheered man and horse
to the echo. 1t was a tribute to a
horse which gave all he had in re-
Spouse to the call Of his driver and
it was also a testimonial to the skill
and probity of great reinsman.
Though Single G is eleven years Of
age and has campaigned steadily, his
admirers say that 1921 will be his
greatest season on the turf. He is
as sound as a newly milled dollar
and seems to have his old time speed.
Such horses do the cause of harness
racing a world of good.

boys grew crops on a scientific basis
on 191 acres of land. They raised
27S farm animals in the same period.
The average income of the pupils
in crop returns was s9S.60 and the
average income to the acre was

Saves Sabre Toothed Tiger.
Los Angeles Man Models Likeness Of
Prehistoric Beast.
From the Los Angeles cypress.

From, tho Los Angeles Express.
Gone from the earth before the con-
tract was let for the pyramids, the fero-
cious and all devouring sabre toothed
tiger that ruled the animal kingdom
100000 years ago has no secrets from
the scientists of to-day, and a Los An
geles man even has gone so far as to
sculpture in concrete what he considers
to be perfect reproduction of the ter
rible monster with the sabred mouth.
The scientist William A. Spalding.
has the sculptured piece in the workshop
at his residence. He was president Of
the Southern California Academy OF Sci
ences for four terms, and In that capac-
ity he had occasion to learn as much
about the sabre toothed tiger as men
of to-day are permitted TO know.
He was instrumental in opening the
famous fossil beds at Brea, whore the
remains OF the tigers were found In good
enough preservation to reconstruct the
skeletons.
From the relics of the skeletons, un-
covered In the Brea pits. he has con-
cluded that the tigers of 100000 years
ago were similar in size to the Bengals
OF to-day, differing essentially from them
in their outstanding feature--the long
sabre teeth from which no enemy could
be- safe.
With the skeleton remains of the
tigers sufficiently reproduced to outline
the forms and physical characteristics
of the tigers, Mr.. Spalding found little
difficulty in making likeness Of the
animal. In his art work he has repro
duced the skeleton proportions and added
the external characteristics of the cat
family, whereby he believes perfect
copy has been accomplished of the fire
eyed feline demon that roamed supreme
In tho days before man was.

Bodied Hair in Practice.
Two Cases in Which Efficiency Has
Not Been Diminished.

To THE NEW YORK HERALD: A man
with an elementary knowledge of women
most men have only scratched the sur
face of this branch of biology--knows
that to deprive a woman of her whims
is to rob her Of her personality. If the
temple is to be pulled down why not
taboo lip sticks. powder puffs and mani
cure implements?
Bobbing a woman's hair. In my hum
BILE Judgment, adds to her effectiveness.
Time isn't wasted In feeling for pinnings,
tuclsing up stray locks, using vanity
mirrors to see that the set Is right.
Bobbed hair is known equation and
needs no intricate study after the initial
arrangement.
I wish to add personal testimony to
this interesting subject. know two
women who have recently bobbed their
hair. One Is a charming mother of two
healthy children. In addition to making
with her own hands the checked glng-
ham dresses that adorn them she directs
the details of delightful home. Her
husband had a prejudice against bobbed
hair but she convinced him that it was
based only on a silly bias. That woman
has brains.
The other one holds a responsible
place in prominent business house and
is a young woman with sense enough
and energy enough TO hold down her
job. Should the bobbing of their hair
be a moving cause for depriving them of
their usefulness? FINpLAy SAcKErr.

A Case for the District Attorney.

Justice KELBY OF the Supreme Court
in the Second Judicial District has
thrown out a suit for divorce in
which it appeared to him that con-
spiracy had been formed to trap the
person sued into a position in which
infidelity would seem apparent.
The individual used to bait the
trap is alleged to have been a figure
in other actions for divorce. Justice
kelley in deciding the case said:
at is against public policy to allow
trafficking of this kind to continue.
A divorce cannot be purchased over
detective agency counter like so
much merchandise
This is true, and it is equally true
that the public policy and the good
repute of the judicial system of New
York State call for the prosecution
and punishment of conspirators who
engage in such an abominable traffic.
From the Supreme Court this case
should go to the Office of the District
Attorney of Kings county for presen-
tation to the Grand Jury.
New York State has just under
gone divorce scandal in which.
while the honor of it's courts was
not involved, the vigilance exercised
in guarding their good reputation
appeared in q most unfavorable light.
They should not be playground for
conspirators.

Deaths From Accidents.
Estimated at 1856 in 1919, Not Five
Every Minute.

To THE New York HERALD: / was
glad to see your editorial comments on
the statement alleged to have been made
by Major J. j. Crowley before the North
ern Division 100000 Club of Missouri.
Whether or not Major Crowley made
the statement that there are tve per-
sons accidentally killed in the United
States every minute and twenty-one per-
sons hurt every minute. the total annual
number of accidents and deaths equal
ling 100000. some of your readers
may be interested in the facts.
The total number of deaths in the
continental United States. that is, the
United States exclusive Of Alaska and
the other outlying possessions OF the
United States. is estimated at 1,351.956
for the calendar year 1919. The actual
number of deaths In the registration
area, which then embraced S1.1 per cent.
Of the population of the continental
United States, was 1.096,436. as you say
In your editorial article. In this same
registration area in 1919 there were
61,266 deaths from accidents,
This number is exclusive of homicides
and suicides. which are separately
grouped and are not, Of course, acci-
dents In any true sense Of the term. The
estimated number Of accidental deaths
in the continental United States in 1919
was 1856. This estimate, like the esti-
mate OF the number of deaths from all
causes, is made on the assumption that
the respective death rates from all
causes and from accidents were approx
imately the same for the population.
1879 per cent, outside Of the registration
area of the continental United States as
in the registration area.
This alleged statement of Major Crow
ley is on par with many other asser-
tions made by persons who have not
the slightest idea of the facts with which
they attempt to deal. F. S. CRUM,

Another Great Comedian.
The Elder SOthern's Art In the Char
acter Of Lord Dundreary.

To THE NEW YORK HERALD: You say
Joseph Jefferson will always be remem-
bered as a great comedian of his day."
Undoubtedly, but there was another
great comedian of that time, although
not an American born.
The elder Sotrern was as individual
upon the stage but not so diverse in
ability as Mark Twain was and is and
ever shall be in literature. In one char
acter alone the elder Sothern lived SUI
preme. With him Lord Du,tdredry was
born and with him also Lord Dundreary
died. No one has ever approached this
peculiar Characterization. 1t appeared
to be the individual man whom none
could copy or duplicate.
He possessed powerful personal
magnetism so spontaneous that there
was nothing Of the theatre pertaining
to II and no critic could grapple with
it. The play itself was colorless and
without ability. He had not back Of
him the genius Of Washington Irving.
yet among the vast army Of characters
which have marched across the stage
in the long procession OF the ages few
were so vital as Sothern's Dundreary.
The players art of all the arts to-
day Is the only one that still dies with
the dying breath Of the artist. The
painter. The sculptor. the writer, the
singer are recorded. but the player be-
comes only memory that in turn be-
comes tradition. "IIe cometh forth as

A Growing Business.

When WILLIAM E. Cox, who died
at his home in Brooklyn on Thurs
day, entered the service of the New
York Life Insurance Company in
1S49 he was put to recording policies
on the books of the company, and he
took delight in telling of the sensa-
ton which was caused in the offices
Of the corporation when a $4,000
policy was written. Mr. Cox lived to
80, and few days before his death
the Insurance Press was able to print
figures which give some notion Of
how the life insurance business grew
in his lifetime.
Reports from fifty-four companies,
covering their new paid for business
in the present year as compared with
the corresponding period of 1920,
showed aggregate writings in the
first five months of 1921 of $945,1S
579, against s1,252, 1S8,270 in the first
five months of 1920, indicating a de-
crease in the business Of 24% per
cent, or of 1907, 006,691.
In comparison with 1919, however,
an increase is shown for 1921, thirty
two Of the fifty-four companies re-
porting an aggregate of $120,315,S98
more new business in the first five
months Of 1921 than in the CORE
spending period of 1919, while TWEEN
ty-two companies had less new bust
ness, their decrease amounting to
$S7,001,305. The net increase for the
fifty-four companies over the 1919
figures was 9.6 per cent.
Mr.. Cox would not have been able
to keep in mind the $4,000 policies
written nowadays.

The noisy, happy crowd was taken
aboard huge barge from a dock in the
lower reaches of the East River at 9
o'clock. For three hours the barge was
towed about the harbor and then to the
society's summer home for children at
Bath Beach, where the party was landed
at noon in time for hearty meal. Then
there was a three hours romp on the
beach and in the water.

overworked mothers and underfed chill
iren who have enjoyed them exceeds

Thrifty Negro Farmers.

must be a better reward for a years

Office Rents Lower.
One Phase Of the Housing Problem
Settled by an Old Law.

To THE NEW YORK HERALD: We have
had legislative Investigations of the
housing problem, but the situation is
just as bad to-day as It was two years
ago. All the Investigations in the world
are not going to find q solution of the
matter.
AT the time the original rent laws
were passed there was an attempt to In
clude office buildings in the act. This
proposal was rejected. At that time
Broadway space was worth 81 foot.
To-day l am informed that Broadway
space can be delivered for 50 a foot.
What is the reason for this condi-
ton? Simply this the old law of sup
ply and demand worked out again. The
returns from office buildings were 30
high that new capital was attracted to
the field of investment.
II the Legislature would repeal the
rent laws exactly the same thing would
happen In apartment houses. II the rent
laws had never been passed the hous-
ing problem would be solved to-day.
