species of social false syntax IL
is possible for the simplest minds TO
detect the social irregularity in a
pictured group. Even the slightest
knowledge OF reading Is unnecessary
TO grasp the meaning of these charts
of manners. Polish is thus put
within the reach of the toughest Of
rough diamonds.
What may account for the sudden
increase in the demand for such
works has not been definitely dis
covered. There is no uncomfortable
respect for ceremonious behavior TO
be observed in pubic. II Is too soon
of course to look for any results from
the study OF these recent volumes.
Ii is at least encouraging to think
that the next generation may show
traces OF the study of correct social
practice. Yet it might be pleasant
to live in an age which not only took
a theoretical interest in manners but
was inspired with the ambition to
put this knowledge into practice.

The One Play Author.

The dramatist who puts a single
successful play to HIS credit is an
almost exclusive American institu-
ton. He is practically unknown in
Europe. where the man who Is able to
write one good play can usually bring
out another after q reasonable period.
Some OF the famous playwrights of
the French and the English stage of
the past century did not lay down
the pen until they had long string
OF successful works on their lists.
They put forward one best seller after
another.
One need only look at the output Of
such writer's as DION BoUcIcAULT,

Various causes combined to enable
them to turn out so many plays. Col
laboration was one aid, since they
got ideas from the younger men who
worked with them.
Collaboration has never been an
American habit. although II would
undeuiably' be advantageous to our
playwrights. The qualities that one
member OF tire team lacks may be
supplied. by another. An American
who gives one great success to the
theater struggles afterward to repeat
this performance. II rarely happens
that he succeeds. Is II the idea which
the collaboration might supply that is
missing? Or is knowledge of the
way to write the play lacking?

Utilizing Hotel Space.

When it was revealed In suit for
rent that the present managers OF
the historic Delmonico restaurant de-
sired to alter the facade of the build
ing by the construction Of shops
the knowledge created much less
surprise than it would have done a
few years ago. New Workers. have
In recent times become accustomed
to alterations in buildings with the
purpose of adapting them for the
use of retail merchants.
This has been especially true in
the case of the hotels. The Hotel
Astor has been completely changed
as to its ground and first floors by
the shops which occupy its Broad
way front. Opposite stands the
Hotel Claridge, which is soon to have
its two lower floors occupied by
shops. Other hotels have been al
tered with the same end in view.
Such changes are attributed now
to the yolstead law, although the
space formerly required by hotels
for their vast corridors, drawing
rooms and similar apartments has
been regarded by proprietors as en-
failing an expense not always Justi-
fled by the service and decorative
advantages thus obtained.
Hotel and restaurant proprietors
took advantage OF the Volstead law
to utilize more profitably space which
had been purely decorative In tho
past. One notable feature Of these
changes has been that they have no:
caused inconvenience 20 the patrons
Of the hotels and the proprietors
have gained an advantage at no evil
dent cost to the public. No dimi-
mutton of comfort has resulted from
the changes and there has been little
noticeable damage to the original
plan OF the architects.

The statistical reasoning in the paper
cited. we are assured by Pearl. is "every
bit as good and as cogent as at least
much OF the statistical work in the field
of public health In this country at the
present time" He has specifically cited
several illustrations of prevalent errors
in the evaluation of statistical data.
Among such mistakes is that of failing
to take into account the age, sex and
race distribution In any group that is
the subject of consideration with respect
TO death rate or morbidity rate.
Again. III estimating trends Of this
sort, IL has become requisite to ascer-
tain. the probable errors of the differ
ences or trends. A further common pit
fall in this, as in many other fields of
scientific study. lies in the too ready
tendency to argue post hoe ergo propter
hoe. Thus, the conclusions that pow
erty directly affects the infant mortal
ity. or that density Of population deter
mines q higher death rate from certain
diseases like tuberculosis. fail TO take
into account other simultaneous varia-
bles in each case.
1t has been observed, for example.
that the presumably rich and varied
bacterial environment OF city life may
be productive OF greater resistance OF
city bred students to Infectious disease
as compared with students reared in
rural isolation. How is this observation
TO be reconciled with the vaunted supe-
rior vigor of the country boy?
Failure to take into account the nu-
merous and often unsuspected variables,
as well as random sampling of data
has been responsible for many doubtful

little knowIedge--particula in statis-
tics--is a dangerous thing. In the
words Of q trained investigator in this

In the last quarter Of a century the the
ory OF statistics has advanced by leaps

The day has passed. Pearl reminds
us, when the mere tabulation of crude
statistics and the drawing of unchecked

tabulations will pass. the court of scien-
tific judgment. No statistical conclusion
is to-day accepted by competent workers
IN the field unless II Is fortified by a
determination of the probable errors.

The Greek Executions.

Great Britain, deeply involved as
She is In the Near East situation, can
and does protest against the whole
sale execution of former Greek Cabi-
net officers and military commanders
on the specious plea that 1t was be-
cause of their treason that the Greek
army suffered it's crushing defeat by
Turkey. Great Britain can and does
take steps to save others from what
is no better than wanton butchery.
This is becoming to Great Britain
and it is credit to civilization. 1t
is pity that the whole world can
not do and does not do what Great
Britain does do in respect OF this
crime against humanity.
This country can look only with
horror on these black deeds COM
mitted in the name Of military gov
ernment solely to crafty mob pas
sions. This country can think only
with inexpressible adherence Of
ephemeral leadership which does not
comprehend that pandering to blood
thirsty mob demands for the lives of
those whom mob incitement drove
into disastrous war Is not respond
ing to the spirit and is not represent
ling the mass of the Greek people.
The Greeks are brave and lib
erty loving race and have been for
many centuries. The Greeks as a
whole cannot countenance this mill
tary execution, which is crime
against their honor The stain put
upon their name by this dreadful
execution OF the victims OF mob In
citement is not deserved by the
Greek people. but it will take genera
tions to blot it out.

BY w. y. HENDERSON.

In his "Psychoanalysis and Love"
the late Andre Tridon declared very
solemnly that the hair fetishist was a
neurotic and that he felt himself to be
an inferior. Which excursion into the
department of up to date literature is
occasioned by the fact that at the
Metropolitan Opera House last eve-
ming was given the first performance
in the present season of Erich Korn-
COLDS hair fetishist opera "Die Tote
Stadt."
The hero 1t will be recalled, Is OBJ
sessed by alteration for his dead wife
and keeps her hair in a shrine. When
he runs across living woman who
resem bles her not only in the matter
Of hair but also in walk and conyer-
satiop he endeavors to win her and to
persuade himself that he has his wife
once more OF course, the living
woman turns out to be very differ
ent sort from the departed and the
poor fetishist, made to feel an intensi-
fed inferiority, becomes more neurotic
than ever.
AS the living shadow OF the past
Nine. Marie Jeritza made her debut
last season and likewise success
which had the misfortune to be over
estimated. Last evenings reproduc-
ton OF the opera served to prove that
this was and remains one of Mime.
Jeritzas best achievements, though it
may be doubted that it will immortal
ize the opera of the talented Viennese
youth.
The viennese singer was quite as
charming as she was last season in
this role, and that she did not stir up
the audience as much as she did then
was due wholly to three facts; first,
that she was no longer a novelty; sec
ond, that the opera was already aged,
and third, that the claque did sufficient
work to relieve the public Of all re-
sponsibility.
There were two changes in the cast
effected by one man. Gustaye Schuet-
zenddrf replaced Mr.. Leonhardt as
Frank, the friend Of the hair fetishist
and also assumed the role of the Pier
rot. sung last winter by that promis
ing young artist Mario laurent, whose
death is to be deeply regretted. Mr..
Schuetzendorf was very good as
