Cafeteria Brides

This seasons brides and Brides
to-be are not interested in the culi-
nary arts, if the cooking class regis
trations of the Y. W. C. A. are any
indication. In past years fall and
winter brides and engaged girls
have shown dawning interest in
housekeeping problems by filling up
the numerous classes opened by the
association. This year the classes
are neglected, but not because there
aren't any brides or engaged girls,
as the Society Opposed to Young
People of To-day would have us be-
lieve.
There are just as many as ever,
as the dressmaking and millinery
classes attest. In fact, such classes
are overcrowded, and it is evident
that the new crop of husbands need
not be apprehensive about the bills
Tor gowns and hats that are usually
held to be staggering part of their

But with the rise in home sewing

energy to prepare three meals day.

MIR. Harding at His Rest

No man who occupies the White
House can escape the influences of
his post. He is bound either to be-
come enmeshed in the politics and
the mean detail Of his burdensome
task, or else, at some point in his
service, to force his way through the
lesser men and lesser ideas spr.
rounding him to the larger view OF
his labor.
There are abundant signs that Mr.
Harding is resolved to be a Presi.
dent of the broader outlook. His
veto of the bonus was as fine and
courageous an act as has come from
the White House in number OF
years. His recent nomination of ar
able Democrat, Mr.. Edwin B
Parker, to the German claims com.
missions shows a spirit of generous
non-partisanship. The appointment
is wholly admirable from every point
OF view. with 1t belongs the news
that the President desires to con.
tinue Mr.. w. P G. Harding as head
of the Federal Reserve Board if the
Senate can be persuaded to confirm
his appointment. Mr.. Harding is an
Alabama Democrat. The strongest
pressure has been brought to bear
upon the President to look in his
own party for successor. In in
sisting upon the present occupant
OF the Office he is insisting that
merit. ability plus experience, be
placed ahead Of partisanShip.
There have been other high spots

The Budget Miracle

The estimated government deficit
for 1928 is $672,000, 900. The
reason for this shortage is found in
the cuts made in internal revenue
taxation and the diminution of
ether revenue returns. Congress,
hewever, deliberately chose to face
a deficit this year. 1t was thought
that the prospect of ending the year
with a balance on the wrong side of
the ledger would stimulate economy
in next years appropriations and
also spur the executive departments
to further retrenchment.
Mr.. S. P. Gilbert jr., Assistant
Secretary of the Treasury, says in
an article in the October number of
"The Nations Business" that it
would be q calamity to impose addi-
tional taxes to meet the impending
deficit. He points out that "the
whole Administration is striving to
reduce the deficit and, if possible, to
eliminate it by the end of the year"
This result can be accomplished, he
thinks, through increased revenues
from realization on securities and
surplus property and through fur
ther reduction in expenditures now
authorized.
General Dawes showed in his re-
port Of May last that the econoa les
and savings incident to the imposi-
tion of executive control over gov
ernmental expenditures in 1921-'22
would be about s25o,000,OO0. This
sum was saved out of appropria.
tions already made. 1t is the hope
of the new Director of the Bulge,
Bureau to make similar reductions
this year which will materially lowe,
the indicated adverse balance.
The Administrative will continue
to trim sail. This policy is whole.

The Case of Motorships

Announcement that the largest
two motorships in the world will be
constructed to carry Gre from Chile
to the United States would be news
of the greatest Importance to this
country If they were to be built in
American shipyards to fly the Amer
lean flag. Unfortunately for our
merchant marine, they are to be pur-
chased by a Swedish steamship line
from a German shipbuilding COM
pany. Incidentally, they are to be
the most modern vessels and will
far surpass anything now held by
the Shipping Board or private
owners here.
The twenty-year contract for the
transportation of Chilean ore was let
to the lowest bidder, in accordance
with accepted business principles.
The award was made by the Bethle-
hem Steel Corporation, which has
it's own shipbuilding plant and its
own steamship line, yet found it de-
sirable to have the work done by
foreign line. SO long as American
ship owners are under heavy handi-
caps in the capital cost of vessels
and in their operation they are prac-
tically barred from serious competi-
ton in transactions of this nature.

Allied Debt Sentiment

To the Editor Of The Tribune,
Sir: Relative to the editorial in to-
days issue "Forgiving the Allies Their
Debts" Of course, there is a differ
ence between reputation and yelun-
tary cancellation of debt, but agree
with the remarks Of Representative
Burton. Unfortunately, at the present
time the attitude of Europe is some
thing very much like reputation.
The political leaders could not do
otherwise than assert the willingness
and intention of the debtor countries
to meet their obligations, but almost
without exception the individuals ex-
press the sentiment that the payment
OF the debt is practical impossibility.
and at times some peculiarly frank
soul will tell you you might as we'll
cancel the debt, for none Of it will ever
be paid.
In other words, there is very large
number OF people in both England and
France who adopt the attitude that
whether we do or do not cancel the
debt. we will never receive any money.
have heard this latter sentiment ex-
pressed many times by leading men in
both france and England this summer.

A Strong Ticket

In Governor Miller the Republican
parry has a candidate whose NOM
ination is not the work of politicians.
It is the outcome Of no intrigues and
bargains, and represents no conle
promise necessary to compose fac
tional differences or to preserve any
boss's peace of mind.
With Mr.. Miller at the head Of the
state ticket the Republican party is
in the happy position Of Offering the
voters something in politics of whose
high value they are already enthusi-
astically persuaded. The Governor
is not standing for reelection be-
cause he wants the Office he holds
and expects to administer it for his
own benefit; or, in the narrow sense,
for the benefit of his party organ
ization. His candidacy assures an
opportunity to secure for another
term the sort of service which al
ready has reshaped the state govern
ment and lifted it to a higher level
of efficiency and usefulness to the
average man.
Governor Miller has created new
atmosphere at Albany. Most Gov
cs,r.ors think that they have done
feeir duty in keeping the govern

4ticking to the old timetable. This

scorned halfway measures and set
new standards of governmental OBJ
legation to the citizen. Mr.. Miller
has cleaned up the Albany jungle.
He has brought order out of chaos.
He is giving a dollars worth of gov
ernment for every dollar of taxes.
Such record-rare in this state,
as in every other state-commands
public respect and support. How
could it be otherwise? The tax
payer and the citizen want the best
administration they can get. They
know now where they can get what
they want. Governor Miller is run
ming as Republican. But he has
the inestimable advantage also OF
!. having shown himself one of the
most competent and courageous Gov
ernors New York has ever had.
The rest of the Republican ticket
is the strongest in many years. The

Down With Education

Thanks to the confusion SO often
prevailing at the sessions of the
Board of Estimate, The Tribune was
led to believe that Mayor Hylan had
finally seen the light and had recon-
mended that the sum requested bv
the Public Library for the purchase
of books during 1923 be granted
The Tribune was glad to congratu-
late him.
1t appears, however, that the con-
gratulations were premature. Mayor
Hylan, true to form, instead of
recommending that the 1923 budget
lgure for books be accepted, sug.
gested that the totally Inadequate
figure Of the 1922 appropriation be
substituted for it.
In other words, where the library
asked for s25o,ooO for the purchase
of books Mayor Hylan suggested
that 100000 be granted. AS a re-
suit the library's book estimate is to
be reduced by $4,000.
This is. of course, in line with
the city administrations attitude
toward education. With an airv
scorn for book learning and for the
hard-earned technical knowledge Of
specialists, Mr.. Hylan apparently
looks upon the schools and Libraries
as necessary evils, of but little adj
vantage to practical politicians.
10 provide schools and teachers

group.

Another Summer BIunder

Mr., John s. Sumner is fast becom-
ing public nuisance. His earlier
prosecutions were amusing enough
and the community was willing tt
forgive him certain amount of ex-
perimentation in learning his new
job. The novelty has worn off now.
1t is clear that experiment has
taught Mr.. Summer nothing. To tho
contrary, the longer he hunts for OBJ
scenity the less sense he shows in
identifying it. =
He now has been thrown out of
court in his effort to prevent the sale
of well-lnown Latin classic in
translation, the "Satyricon" of Pc
tronius Arbiter. The episode of
Trimalchio's dinner is a famous bit
of literature. But this means moth
ing to Mr.. Sumner. He is shocked
by certain lines and scenes; the
vigor of the satire, the great value
and lesson of the document as his
tory, as a picture of decadent Rome,
slip past his averted gaze.
Is it not about time for the Soci-
ETY. for the Suppression Of Vice to do
something about Mr.. Sumner? One
Of the previous complaints of the
vice society recently accused q
woman Of loaning "an obscene, lewd,
lascivious. indecent, filthy and dis
gusting book" Discharged by the
court, she is suing the vice society
for $4,000 damages. Whatever
may be her righ' to recovery, the
iniquity of permitting such charge
to be made by the officer of semi
public society who has demonstrate !.
his lack of discrimination cannot be
questioned.
The sooner Mr.. Sumner has a
vacation from his search for the OBJ
scene, lewd, lascivious, etc, in lit
erature the better. The routine
labors of the vice society are too i'm
portant to the community to be dis
credited by such laundering in mat
ters plainly beyond Mr.. Summers
comprehension.

Of vigorous, red-blooded men.
And l wrote him to ask how he

Though I don't want to lag on

To happy and useful old age.

And taking occasional drinks,
Or spending week ends with my

Who live near the edge of the

By lazily swinging a golf club
And cutting bit off my score.
AS day followed day seemed
rather nice way
To exc out some sixty years

Alas! When I opened the letter
The old fellow sent, in return
I found that to park at the CEN

Involves weary methods and

He rises at every morning,
Feeds the horses and cattle
their hay,
And harrows and sows and husks
pumpkins and mows
Till the end of strenuous day.
No longer I nurse the ambition
To live till hundred and ten,
For Pm fain to recoil at long
sessions Of toll
Repeated again and again.
If one, to live long, must be busy
From the dawn till far into the

And keep up the pace in the

A short life will suit me all

way. Ship news was important news.
Herewith began controversy that
was to rage for two years round
Griffiths and his ship. 1t should have
taken not longer than four or five
months to build the vessel. It took
nearly twenty-four.

said the shipwrights as she began to
take form on the stocks.
"She'll have her insides where her
outsides ought to be-" said sailors,
marking the appearance of the con-
cave entrance and run in place of the
convex lines with which they were
familiar.
"The American shipbuilding in
dustry will be disgraced," said the
rulers thereof.
The Dreamer
Everybody must needs try to have a
finger in the pie, too. Aspinwall and
his partner, Howland, ncked by the
ridicule and abuse visited on Grifnths
and indirectly on them, were con-
tlnuaiiy suggesting changes-urging
compromises, notifications. But it
was for them and their friends to sue-
sest and give advice and for GriAitbs
TO go on building according TO the plans
originally approved. He had staked
mis- reputation-his all-on that vessel
ana she was going to be built as he had
designed or not at all. He was a grav-
eyed' dreamy-browed fellow in his
early thirties; but, for all his poetic
exterior, there was iron in his blood.
So it was not until cold and cheer

halnbow, whose keel had been laid near

The followtng is the third INSTALL
ment Of Mr.. Meloney's story Of the
American merchant marine. The
fourth s0aU be Around Cape Horn"
In the spring of 1s41 a young New
York craftsman named John Willis
Griffiths, at meeting Of the American
Institute in this city, submitted in so
many words that perhaps American
shipbuilders and designers did not
know SO much as was generally sup
posed. He attacked the predominating
theory that 1T did not matter how
roughly a vessel entered the water so
long as she left 1t smoothly behind her
tho theory exemplifed in the Balti-
moro clippers full, round bows, prac-
tically fiat forward floor and narrow
stern. He proposed model of q
knifelike, concave entrance, melting
into an easy run to the midship Sec
tion. where, instead of forward, he
located the extreme breadth of beam.
The following spring Grihiths ap-
peared again at the institute, this
time to exhibit model that embodied
in detail the revolutionary theories he
proposed.
He succeeded in interesting William
Aspinwall, one of New York's China
trade princes-the same Aspinwall who
was to build the Panama Railroad and
give his name to the town, now Colon,
that stands at the eastern gate Of the
canal. In the spring of 1s43 Aspinwall
signed contract with Smith & Dimon
to build him ship of 76O tons accord
ing to Grifiths's designing.
Startling Ship Ne.cs
On the morning following the sign
ing Of that contract the New York
newspapers reported the occurrence as
though it were q scandal Of the first
Importance. If the rector of Trinity
Church had decamped with the Sunday
school funds his fall from grace would
have achieved no more space or promi-
nence. But New York in those times
was interested in everything that per-
tanned to ships and shipping. It must
he remembered shat it was the leading
