Nobody knew the weak spots in
the old rules governing harness rae

Cox. The fact that they have had
the courage to propose regulations

Coates Conducts Farewell Concert
Is Warmly Applauded by Large Audience-Leads in
Ovation for Walter Daurosch.

Albert Coates. making his farewell
appearance for this season as guest con-
ductor of the New York Symphony Or
chestra yesterday afternoon in Aeolian
Hall. gave q program which consisted
of Brahms's foukh symphony. the
prelude" and Good Friday Spell from
Wagner's "Parslfal" and-repeated from
a recent concert by request--the 'Poeme
de rExtase' of Scriabine. Mr.. Coates
was very warmly applauded throughout
the afternoon.
His reading of the symphony was on
big. massive, sonorous lines as 1t was
also clear and virile. At the close OF
the first movement the prolonged ap-
plause had hardly died away when Mr..
Coates saw Walter Damrosch and his
wife seating themselves in box. Mr..
Coates then started hearty applause
himself for the orchestras conductor,
just back from Europe, and the audi
ence. taking up the welcome. Joined in
the ovation. which Mr.. Damrosch. rising
in his seat. acknowledged with many
smiles and bows.
At the close OF the symphony Mr..
Damrosch returned Mr.. Coatess compli-
ment and led warm and long continued
applause for its performance.

A World on Its Last Legs.

There is comfort for those cheer
less people who believe that the world
Is on it's last legs. Scientists are
backing them UP. DR.. VAUGHN, the
Health Commissioner of Detroit, as
serts that in 10000 years there will
be no human legs at all.
1t is a startling prediction, coming
as it does at time when the visible
supply Of legs is larger and more
beautiful than ever. 1t seems in
credible that legs should fade out of
the picture. With what shall gener-
ations of that far future walk? All,
says DR.. VAUGHN, that's just it; the
race is going to lose its legs because
1t doesn't use them any more.
We must remember that DR..
VAUGHN is in a position to be pessi-
mistic. He is in Detroit, where al
most everybody lives on and in motor
cars. Infants instead of being taught
to toddle ere shown how to throw out
the clutch, shift the gears and slip
into first speed; that is, all except
the Ford babies, who don't have to
bother with gear shifting.
Arms too will disappear about the
same time that legs depart unless,
says DR.. VAUGHN. people use their
arms more for real exertion. Is the
Doctor suggesting that modern folk
are not working hard enough? It
sounds that way. The world needs
to be reminded that unless 1t keeps
its biceps In order there will be no
tennis tournaments in a hundred
centuries or so. Without legs, no
dancing. without arms, no baseball.
All the sports OF the distant future
will be telepathic. The Babe Ruths
of the period will swat the ball with
the bat Of thought. The Joie Rays
will run miles on the track of their
minds. The Jack Dempseys will as.
sault their opponents with the punch
Of pure reason.

Shutting Off Ammunition.
Senator Dunnigan's Bill to Regulate
the Sale OF Cartridges.

To THE NEW York HErALD: A bill
has been introduced In the Senate at
Albany by Mr.. Dunnigan which provides
that any dealer or other person who
sells, gives or otherwise provides per-
son with any pistol, revolver or other
firearm or any bullet. cartridge or other
ammunition therefor. except upon the
presentation, removal and retention OF
coupon to be attached to permit
shall be guilty or nisdemeanor. AS
a permit has but one coupon attached
IL would be necessary for anybody wish
ing to purchase ammunition for any
shotgun. rifle or pistol to obtain per-
nit for such purchase.
It Is impracticatble for users OF fire.
arms to purchase ammunition In large
quantities for the reason that the lubri-
cant sometimes deteriorates with age,
and again one can only obtain the best
results by experimenting until the car
fridge best adapted to the gun has been
ascertained.
Even if the proposed bill were changed
to relate solely to pistol ammunition 1t
would affect users Of 22RF. 25RF, 1920,
for which is also used in pistols or
revolvers.
The Sullivan law has been notoriously
Ineffective in lessening robbery and naur-
der. How, then, can the attempted reg
ulation of the sale OF ammunition have
the desired effect? A person contemplate
Ing the commission OF the crime OF rob
berry or murder incurs little additional
risk by infringing the Sullivan law,
whereas the citizen attempting to pro-
tect his life or property incurs very great
risk. Thus we read that August Koepp
OF 81 Brevoort place. Brooklyn. the
guard who was wounded In the arm on
Friday night defending his truck and its
contents from bandits, yesterday lJan-
uary 28l was made q prisoner In st.
Vincent's Hospital on q charge OF violat-
ing the Sullivan law" Magistrate Corri-
gan is quoted as urging the repeal Of
the Sullivan law. saying that the law
only emboldens the criminal by assuring
him that his victim will be unnrned.
How many robberies OF mail wagons
have occurred In New York since they
were guarded by Marines armed with
automatic pistols? None.
The Government. through the National
Rifle Association, is doing its utmost to
create citizenry skilled In the use OF
the rifle. This bill II passed will place
great obstruction on this work. It is
difficult TO arouse enthusiasm in rifle
shooting, as know from twenty years
experience. but easy to discourage it.
Everybody interested In shotgun. rifle
or pistol shooting and everybody who is
in favor of maintaining a citizenry
skilled in the use Of our national weapon
is asked to write promptly his Assembly
man and State Senator expressing his
Views on this subject. including the re-
peal Of the Sullivan law. which has been
tried and found wanting.

The Hush.

There is a hush upon tho deep tonight /;
The waves break softly, sobbing on
the sand,
The wind singo low above silent

Yonder upon the sea a line OF light
Cleans iustrouslyxthe moon ia at It's

Across tho shadowy stretches OF the
strand
The radiance falls ae does O shining
band
OF shlmmering, silver, fair and exquis-
tie.
What though there is hush upon the
deep?
Beneath the calm there sounds for
those who hear,
A whispered word, and IL some give
no heed
Resting contented In q selfish sleep,
Yet some there are who know that
God Is near,
Filling with infinite love Ills chill

The Legislature of New York State
is now asked to enact a law under
which a person defeated for nomina-
ton in political primary would be
barred from running as an independ-
ent candidate for the office he sought.
Originally nominations at primaries
were to free us from boss dictation and
machine rule. but In practice they
seem likely to extract from political
movements opposed to the machines
ell the power they possessed under
the old system.

Kentucky descendants Of early Eng
lish settlers who. like their fore
fathers for generations past, used
the bow and arrow for small game.
The bows were made and strung in
the ancient manner and the men
showed wonderful skill in their use
in hunting wild turkeys, rabbits and
squirrels.
One of the oldest Of the archery
organizations in this country was the
United Bownen of Philadelphia,
which was formed in 1925 and went
out of existence about thirty years
later. There was, however, con-
siderable revival OF interest in the
sport toward the end of the last cen
tury; many bowmen's clubs were
formed and the sport had special
publications for it's encouragement
and promotion. AT the meeting Of
the National Archery Association in
Boston In 1913 there was remark
ably large representation Of skilled
archers Of America.
In Great Britain the traditions Of
the sport went back to the time when
peasants and princes contested at
intensely interesting tournaments.
Every community had its organiza-
tion of crack bowmer and many Of
these organizations were centuries
old. The Royal Toxophilite Is the
most noted Of the survivors. 1t kept
the old fashioned names of the Of
ficers, such as Captain of Targets and
Second Lieutenant, and it had King
GEORGE as its patron. In its old hall
was a great collection Of archery
relics-old Turkish crosshows, bow
used on Flodden Field and bows and
arrows representative Of all the
phases through which archery passed
in England.

in the premises there can be no escape.

seeing and acknowledging and deplor-
ing the faults we should not ignore the
many fine, strong. splendid characters
who perennially delight us and watt US
from the realm of the material and the
sordid into the world of spiritual things.
Upon these we must depend to preserve

Passing the Bonus Buck.

The latest word from bonus land
tells as that Chairman FoRDNEY Of
the Ways and Means Committee is
minded to pass the bonus buck to
the Senate.
II Is the Job Of the Ways and
Means Committee, of which for the
moment FoRDuEY Is the chairman.
to find the money for any and all Gov
ernment expenditures, any and all
Government undertakings. FoRDNEY,
an old hand at levying on the peoples
purses, has been put to his wits end
TO find q scheme for chiseling out
the bonus money.
The farm bloc won't stand for a
bonus sales tax.
Secretary of the Treasury MELLON,
who has got to refinance six billions
five hundred millions OF dollars
within the next fifteen months IL he
can get the money to do it, won't
stand for bonus bond issue.
President HARDING, the man up in
the White House who is carrying the
load, the man who in the finality is
held responsible for every act OF his
Administration and for every act Of
his party. viewing the situation in
broad vision and from every bearing
and every angle, emphatically op-
poses bonus bond issue, and en-
phatically opposes piling on top of
our already staggering taxes any ad-
ditional tax for bonus purposes. The
President, however, under pressure of
the situation, would stand for sales
tax, but the country won't stand for
q sales tax.
FoRDNEY, facing these solid fronts
Of opposition, thwarted on every hand
and desperately put to it to make
good the compact of Republican poll
ticians with bonus propagandists,
now threatens to jam through the
bonus bill anyway, leaving it to the
President and his Secretary of the
Treasury to pay the bonus from
moneys coming in for other purposes.
But in view Of the fact that, with
diminishing income, the Treasury is
already facing a deficit OF, say, three
hundred millions of dollars. it is
clear that this device of FoRDNEY's,
IL 1t got by the Senate and got by the
President, would have small piGkings
for bonus payments.
Chairman FoRDNEY's branch Of Con
gress, It is well to keep in mind, is
not the whole thing. The Senate
must be reckoned with. FoRDNEY,
with serious mien, and devilish
chuckle in his heart, would pass the
buck to the Senate.
If IL comes to this will the Senate
Kill Mr.. FoRDNEY's bonus measure,
containing no lucid plan for finding
the bonus money, or. following the
tactics of the House in political sub
serviency, will it pass the buck to
the President?
And, IL it reaches this stage, will
the President in turn pass the buck
pack to Congress by vetoing the bill?

MISS GERHARDT's RECITAL.
soprano Is Warmly Applauded by
Audience mt Town Hall.

Miss Elena Gerhardt. soprano, gave
her fourth and final song recital OF the
season last evening in Town Hall. At
her three previous recitals her programs
have consisted solely OF German lieder.
IN which she specializes. Last night
she began her list with airs by Mar
cello, Gluck and Handel. including the
last named composers "Oh. Had
Jubaps Lyre." Groups of lieder-one
each--by Schumann and Hugo Wolf,
completed the program.
The distinguished soprano sang gen.
orally with her customary intelligence.
although she was not entirely happy in
the group of airs where her breath sup
port was insufficient. Her work was
very warmly applauded by the audience.
Maurice Eisner was at the piano.
