Letters to the Tribune's Editor o
TO Straightcn Out Jurisdiction in
Cases Of Family Trouble


To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: At the forthcoming election the
voters Of New York will decide, among
other important matters, whether or
not there shall be a constitutional
amendment to give to the Legislature
the authority to confer equity juris-
diction upon the Children's and the
Domestic Relations courts.
At the present time families having
domestic troubles are thrown about
from court to court because of the lack
Of equity jurisdiction of the family
courts. In each court the Judge can
see but one angle of the trouble and
can never get at the underlying cause
of it all.
Thus, for instance, wife who seeks
support from her husband in New York
must go to a family court; if her hus-
band beats her that court has no juris-
diction, but she must apply to magis-
trates' court; if, as result of home
conditions, their child becomes delin-
Cuent, only the Childrcn's Court has
jurisdiction. When, finally, the hus-
band, to evade his obligations, jour
neys to another state the aid Of the
Court of General Sessions must be in
voked.
1t has, therefore, been proposed that
the Family Court be given jurisdiction
in cases of deserton and non-support.
paternity cases, all matters arising un-
der acts pertaining to the juvenile
courts and all matters pertaining to
adoption and guardianship. Before the
Legislature can confer such equity
powers upon these courts, however, an
amendment to the constitution must
be submitted to the people for ap-
proval. Such an amendment is now
before the voters listed as "Amend-
ment No. s." Social workers and others
interested in family welfare urge the
approval by the voters of this pro
posal. CHARLES ZUNSER.

Bureau.

Heating the Equator
Fur Wraps Are Quite Common in
Some Tropical Cities

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: | have read with interest the
letter in your issue of October 21.
Know South America" No doubt
American exporters have something 20
learn yet of the trade with their South
American neighbors, but some of the
items mentioned in the said lctte.
would fail to startlc any one.
Steam heaters are very much needed
IN some tropical cities, like Bogota,
funjs, Kiobamba, Quito (the capital OF
Ecuador). Fur wraps, closed li,nou-
slnes, etc, are used largely in the
tropical cities mentioned and in sew
eral others for protection against the
cold weather which prevails there
practically all year long.
While it is very convenient for the
representatives of American houses in
south America to speak Spanish and
Portuguese, and the majority do. il is
not essential, because the leading i'm
porting houses Of South America have
men who speak English fluently.
A trip from Peru to Buenos Avres ia
practicable by rail, with the exception
OF twelve hours on Lake Titicaca. and
a Few miles by automobile on the
observation-disclosures frontier.
The writer is the South American
representative of one of the Oldest
American concerns in New York and
has travelled extensively, noting with
pleasure in later years the improve
ment made by the American exporters
IN selecting their travelling men in
South America.

Tobacco Nexta
Twill Join John Barleycorn if This
Physician Has His Way

| To the Editor of The Tribune.
/ Sir: noticed in letter published
few days ago in The Tribune the
| question, "Why are men shorter lived
than women % / failed to find in that
letter any suggestion of the proper
answer, which is tobacco"
The insurance companies tell us that
the mortality rate {not age) among
non-smokers is fifty-nine, as compared
with ninety-three, among moderate
smokers.
At Dartmouth College in the class of
'6S it was found by the records that
the average age at death of those who
did not use tobacco was fiftyrninc and
cne-third years, while Of those who did
use 1t the average age at death was
forty-ninc and one-fourth years--tcn
years gone up in smoke, one sixth Of
your life.
How does it kill? My experience of
'iN"iAS 1tlty tea2S III tNC pTactfcc VI
r.edicine tells nie chat it is done by
Its effect upon the heart. Every one
who uses tobacco in any form is d
drug addict and the heart is invariably
affected by it. While | have never
seen but one man die from the direct
effect of tobacco, / have seen very
many die from the indirect, although
just as definite, effect.
The reason why so many more men
than women die from pneumonia is be-
bause of "tobacco heart" which is
present in some degree in the majority
of men.
The percentage of deaths from
tuberculosis among men is three times
greater III smokers than in non
smokers. Tobacco is also the cause
of the greater prevalence of this dis
ease among men. Much more can be
said of the injury produced upon US
by tobacco than space would allow, but
now that "John Barleycorn" has re-
ceived his death sentence, although not
fully executed, | am looking for and
praying for and expecting some day
like judgment upon his close friend.

Arnistice Day
To the Editor of The Tribune.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: The disabled ex-service men
at Polytechnic and Fox Hills Hospitals
and the Dug-out, $50 East Sixty first
Street, New York City, are making
small tin a. e. F. helmets to be worn
as cmblems on Armistice Day. The
object in making and selling these he'll
NETS and asking the public to wear
them on that day is fourfold:
/. To help perpetuate the memory
of the first great Armistice Day and
all it stood for
2. To provide a small portion of
that recognition which the ex-service
men who we're manned or wounded
are entitled to receive from every
citizen, young and old.
3. To give opportunity to the men
who. though handicapped, are anxious
to support themselves and not be OBJ
jects of charity. This is what the Dug
out does. Every helmet represents
the work of some disabled man, as
does every product of our shop, for
which he has received financial COM
pensation.
4. To spread the Dug-out idea to
other cities and encourage the same
formation by those who have not vet
forgotten.
These helmets made by disabled
veterans have been indorsed by the
American Legion and other patriotic
organizations. Last year Armistice
Day passed by unnoticed. This year
let US all make it day OF remem
brance. MRS. EDWARD M'vICKER.

From a Three-Stripe Veteran
To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: The proposal Of the New York
County Committee of the American
Legion to suspend the charter of
Willard Straight Post is the last straw
AS a three-stripe veteran of the
A. f. F., have so far refrained from
joining the Legion because l feared it
was in the hands of self-seeking and
unreprescnt0 IKE men. It's support of
the bonus - the veteran preference

view.
The straightforward and self-respect-

feeling in the matter that shall now
try to join that post as soon as
possible. JOHN A. GREENE,

mobile. He was ever longing to
satisfy that demand. The ambition
grew TO build a better motor car
than had ever been produced. But
his most advanced engineering and
designing plans were limited in their
execution by the materials in which
they could be worked out.
Molybdenum Discovered
Then came the discovery Of
molybdenum-the super steel.
With the discovery dawned a new
era in the automotive industry. an
era that found c. Harold Wills best
prepared to take immediate ad-
vantage Of its possibilities. For
molybdenum steel was the material
with which he could at last work out
his cherished plans for high grade
lightweight motor car.
Wills seized on molybdenum steel
as the solution of his problems. He
knew that no automobile could be
stronger than the steel in It In a
steel Of entirely new. properties lay
his only hope Of success And this
he found in fnolybdenum steel.
Using the new steel for every
stress-bearng part, Wills set about
constructing his car. At las. 1t was
built Its accomplishments aston
ishcd even is maker.
Marysville Grows Rapidly
II was TO produce this car that
Marysyille was started.
As a result of the first announce
ruent that Mr.. Wills was to build his
new plant at Marysville, six other
manufacturers asked him to sell them
land near his own site to build
plants Of their own.
Tweaty-four hundred building lots
were offered for sale in Marysvilie
and we're sold to 1900 buyers.
