Cracking Under the Strain.

Two more games at most and the
public can return to contemplation
Of the political candidates, the price
of coal and the winter styles in
coats. 1t may be that to-day's con.
test will end the world series, the
Giants having now captured four of
the five victories that are necessary
for the baseball crown.
In series of other years there was
always talk of one side or the other
cracking under the strain" This
year the public has had the best
chance to crack. The competitors
have kept the spectators on edge for
more than week. Should the Yam
KEGS win to-day, requiring a ninth
game to decide the contest, this will
be a nervous town tomorrow.
But let the strain and the crack
ing come! New York has never had
a pair Of pennant winning clubs be-
fore. Father Knickerbocker must be
excited while he may.

Keeping the Death Rate Down.

The death rate in New York city
for the first forty weeks Of 1921 was
11.34, according to the Health De-
partment During the corresponding
period Of 1920 the rate was 1850.
The infant death rate for these weeks
of 1921 was Is, against 80 for the first
forty weeks Of 1920. II this infant
mortality rate is maintained until
January 1 this year will have the
lowest infant mortality rate in the
history Of the city.
The number of deaths in the week
ended October I, 1921, was 1,044,
against 1854 in the corresponding
period Of 1920, the death rates for
the two weeks being 9.47 and 9.71 re-
spectively.
Except for the oppressive heat in
July the summer weather was most
healthful. and autumn so far has
been as near perfection as could be
desired. These factors have affected
the wellbeing of the city most bene-
ficially. The open winter Of 1920-21
was conducive to strength. The
town faces the cold season of 1929
fortified to Withstand its rigors.

traditional sturdinees of the house
of Black GEoRGE. The hand grenades
which fell under his train at Sara
jevo and the bombs which were
not infreQuently found around the
royal Konak at Belgrade became
most vigorous memories of the past
and a dismal forecast of what the
future might have. He saw his way
beset with intrigues of rival claim
ants of the throne aud the conten-
tions Of the Jugo-Slav States.
The power that is the greatest in
holding ALEXANDER in Paris perhaps
is the young Bourbon princess whom
he came to wed for state reasons
because Serbia wanted Queen. His
suit apparently was successful; but
the princess is as content not to be a
Serbian Queen as he is not to be a
Serbian King. There is a suggestion
In the report of this scourtship Of
q royal romance which turned from
a palace to rose embowered cottage
on the fringe of the French capital.
So what is the use of being a King
after all! Let somebody take the
honor who will run the risks. Be
sides. kings and royalty are at a dis
count these days and cottage that
will remain ON its foundation is more
than a palace that may have its roof
blown OF any day or night.

Washington a Puzzle.
Schools Upset by the Question Of the
CAPITAL Of the United States.

To THE NEW York HERALD: Is Wash
ington the capital OF the United States!
Is q question now under discussion by
officialdom In that city. 1t has also
raised ruction in some schools.
Up to few years ago certain State
documents signed by the President were
"done in the city Of Washington" Then
the chairman OF a committee OF Con-
gress reached the conclusion that the
creating act made the District of Column
bia. and not the city, of Washington. the
capital of the United States
Officialdom in Washington seems to
favor this view at all events Mr.. Will
son while President accepted 1t, and
state papers thereafter we're done In
the District Of Columbia" President
Harding has followed the same practice.
Perhaps an opinion from the Attorney
General may settle the question, but 1t
may require action by Congressional
effort, or even a Federal court decision.
Washington was created city In
1902 under a Federal charter. In 1871
the Congress repealed the charters of
Washington and Georgetown and placed
the administration Of the District OF Col
umbia under a commission appointed by
the President with the concurrence OF
the Senate. Although a city by courtesy.
Washington is city without charter.
It's limits are conterminous with those

He Doesn't Want to Be King.

Young ALEXANDER of Serbia still
fingers in Paris while royal crown
awaits him at Belgrade. At the time
of the death of his father, old King
PETER, he was in the French capital
i'll, according to report, with some
mysterious disease which confined
him to HIS bed and made it impossi-
BILE for him to undertake the journey
to attend the royal funeral.
Now that he has recovered from
this illness and has not seen fit to
take the throne awaiting him Pre-.
mier PAsITcH, long his firm friend
and chief adviser. has arrived in
Paris to persuade him to come back
to Belgrade. The old man pleaded
three hours and then, according to
the Parisians, ALEXANDER announced
that he preferred to stay in Paris
and that he was going to ask Jugo-
Slavia to make him an allowance
and in consideration of this he would
renounce the throne.
No one could honestly accuse
ALEXANDER Of cowardice. He served
with distinction in the last two Bal.
kan wars. he led the Serbian army
in the world war until 1t was over
whelmingly defeated by the greatly
superior forces of the Austrian and
Bulgarian armies, and then he as
sisted in guiding the shattered rem.
nant OF the Serbian army over the
Albanian mountains to the Adriatic
coast. He gained favor with his own
people because OF his fearlessness and
they looked upon him as the one
capable leader among all the repre-.
sentatives Of their dynastic houses.
They liked him because IL now and
then some radical or crank dropped
a bomb near him he went coolly on
his way ond even refused to have
the miscreant punished.
But the two months OF life IN
Paris have apparently softencd him
and materially changed him from the

pieces. nearly all wine glasses. though
few sweetmeat bowls and an unusual
candlestick are included. As contras.
to the English work a few examples Of
Venetian. Dutch and German glass Of
the sixteenth and eighteenth centuries
respectively are shown. While Venetian
glass had some influence upon the Eng
lish tradition In the sixteenth century
the English ware Is uniformly sturdlei
and heavier in form and more brilliant
In color than the continental glass. 1t
Is said to have a bellllke ring when
struck quite different from the tone of
the continental glass. A great deal Of
tho interest Of the exhibit attaches TO
the varying treatment Of the stems of
the glasses. The earliest stems were of
the baluster type; then followed the
plain stem. while later came the incised.
twisted. colored and. finally. cut stems,
the last dating from the late eighteenth
and early nineteenth centuries. A few
colored glass flasks and jugs will be OF

A Count Of the IIliterate.

The number Of illiterates discov'
cred in this city by the 1920 census
ia depressingly large. There were
2S1.121 persons here who could not
write in any language.
There is a bright side to the count,
however. All but 1888 OF the illit-
crates were of foreign birth. While
the percentage Of total illiteracy in
the city is 6.2, only one in 900 Of the
natives Is unable to write.
The fact that the immigrant takes
pains to have his children educated
is shown by the literacy figures for
New York State, which has 100000
illiterates Of foreign birth but only
1926 illiterates Of foreign or mixed
parentage.
These census figures show the evil
of the literacy test Even II the i'm
migrant cannot read he sees to II
that his children learn. And this ia
the thing of very great importance
in this matter.
