Love as q divine passion has been
The favorite theme of the poets Tor
many ages. But not until or day,
and the era of Freud and Jung, has
this madness been written OF with
clinical understanding as well as with
an eve to its additionally romantic
volues. The knowledge which mod
err science has brought to the sub.
ie,t of sex has now become part OF
the compliment of the writer OF love
stories. In "Phontom,' the most re-
cent novel. of Gerhart Hauptmann,
now issued in English translation, we
have the new comprehension OF TINS
madness employed, as 1t has proba-
hlv never been used, to enhance an
innorIant work of fiction. The great
er understanding which the psychia-
trist has added to the power of the
artist has clearly heightened the 20
etc values and deepened the sense
of human liinShip which have always
been characteristic of this authors
work.
Gerhart Hauptmann, the foremost
naturalist of present day literature
has in all his long career in letters
written on the theme that to under
stand all is to forgive all. In the
present novel, which comes as the
browning justification for the mag
nificent tribute which practically all
elements of modern Europe have paid
TO Hauptmann on the occasion of his
Sixtieth anniversary. ne has demon
strated, as it has never quite been
done before, that the new science of
the mind must inevitably enlarge the
sympathies and the scope of the adj
vanc!ng literary artist.
Phantom" is literally novel of
love which makes a man mad. In
modern setting and style which is IN
SYSTEMATICALLY but Enthusiastically mod
ern,& Hauptmann introduces an incl
dent which, in another age of letters
would have been the basis for the
transports of a Dante-Beatrice TO-
nance. But here is something utter
" different aud much more strange.

The world has been through so

GETS NO AWARD FOR
SOLUTION In EYE

At the weekly session OF the In
dustrial Accident Board. being held
today In the Ford Building. a de-
cision was made in the matter Of
the claim of William Kamaski for
compensation for an alleged injury
while in the employ Of New Castle
Leather Company on February Z.
1922. In the petition Of the claim
ant, It was alleged that he had re-
ceived in the left eye a splash OF a
solution used for the purpose Of re-
moving hair from skins. For a pc
riod Of three months the employe
has had a serious eye condition.
which at the present time seems to
be much improved.
In finding that Kamaski did not
suffer violence 10 the physical struc-
ture OF his body by an accident aris-
ing out OF and In the course OF his
employment nor is his present con-
dition due TO disease or infection
naturally resulting directly from a
personal injury recently treated, the
Board based its conclusions upon the
testimony OF the physician in charge
OF the case who stated that he did
not find anything in the eye at the
time OF the alleged accident and on
the statement OF the manufacturers
of the solution that never in their
experience had any one before claim
ed TO have received an injury from
this product. Whatever the source
OF the Infection may been they were
able TO state that It could not be
their product.
At the afternoon session. hearing
will be held in the review Of the
compensation agreement entered in
10 by Walter Nail and the General
Chemical Company. The employer
in this case alleges that the employe,
who has been paid compensation
since April. 1920. has ceased TO be
totally disabled and is now suffering

EXPECT DEBATE ON
TAX COLLECTIONS

More verbal fireworks are likely
to enliven the weekly meeting of City
Council tonight II an attempt is
made to bring up and pass the reso-
luton Intended to stop payment of
salary checks TO city officials who
are In arrears OF taxes due the mu-
niclpality.
II Is well known that several MEM
bers OF Council resent the method OF
making such collections and an ef-
fort to pass the measure is almost
certain to arouse a lively debate.
While members OF the finance
committee. which Is behind the reso-
luton decline to say what they in
tend doing. II Is understood their
present plan is TO go ahead with the
measure regardless Of any opposition.
They are OF the opinion that the
resolution will be supported by
majority OF the body and will be
adopted.
Legality OF this method OF col
lecting back taxes due the city by
officials has been sustained by an
opinion OF the city solicitor.
