Our Schools Criticized.
Do the Laws Tend TO Make Flappers
and White Collar Men?

To THE New YORK HERALD: Mrs.
Elizabeth Jones. the ex-napper, has my
sympathy. Housewifery il neither a
craft nor a trade; It Is an art. 1t Is
the business of the mistress OF a family
In the proper and economic manage
ment OF the domestic concern. II r.
moro than a profession, and those who
would be proficient in the arts OF the
housewife must prepare themselves.
Mrs. Jones writes that over education
Is responsible for her lack of knowledge
of ordinary domestic affairs and per-
haps Mr.. Jones Is Justified In making
the statement she does. l believe this
nation to be in danger because women
in the United States have not been de-
veloped as a potential national domestic
resource, but as business women. The
idea that any woman can become a
good housekeeper and good cook
through n month OF study OF a cook
book Is bosh.
Mrs Jones perceives. believe. that
the young man Is being barred from
trade and craft through compulsory
education laws. Because young men
cannot be taught trades or crafts they
are being forced gradually into the class
known as white collar men.
Mrs Jones's suggestion that education
above the grammar grades should be
at private expense is worthy OF thought
full consideration. for IL may we'll be
possible that Mrs Jones is right.

Is the Rough Guy a Moron?

Is the marble lad yclept "Civic
Virtue" a moron? The charge is
made by an eminent anthropologist,

a boy so guileless that he does not
know what innocence means.

true Mr.. MAcMoNNIEs, imbued with
stern desire to represent the mind
of the people in the face of his statue,
may have deliberately made boyish
the features of the hero.
Probably there are citizens who re-
sent Professor Browns statement.
II they have doubts let them spend
an hour over the lessons learned in
school to-day by boys and girls OF
eleven years. At the end of the hour
they may vote that Professor BROWN
Is wrong and that the adult has an
average mentality Of nine years

Steamship Luxury Complete.

The steamship Majestic OF the
White Star Line, which sailed from
Southampton yesterday on her first
voyage across the Atlantic, is the
largest ship in the world, both in
lines and tonnage. Her length OF 956
feet makes her feet longer than the
Leviathan and her tonnage is LOO
greater than that of the Leviathan.
The most remarkable thing about
this new giantess, however, is some
thing that is negative. According to
the dispatches from the other side,
the Majestic, which is the first great
passenger steamship built since the
end of the war, offers little new in
luxury. She has everything that the
imagination and ingenuity Of man
can provide for the seagoer, but no
great innovation can be inventoried.
Suites de luxe, swimming pools, gym
nasiums-all these she has, but all
these are familiar to the traveller who
has used any one of the finest half
dozen of the liners.
Has the inventiveness of the steam
ship designer come to the end OF the
road? II there were anything new
the Majestic should wear 1t, for in
her are the British pride of owner
ship and the German pride of work
manship; for the Majestic, when her
keel was laid, eight years ago, was
intended to be the Bismarck. A ship
like this boasts everything in the way
of comfort and pleasure that its size
permits; nothing seems lacking ex-
cept a regulation baseball field and
golf links.
Speed used to be the constantly
improving quality of ocean steamers,
but the builders cannot hope to get
much more out of.the engines OF the
1oating hotels than the twenty-five
knots shown by the Majestic in her
trials. For speed we look to the air
planes; the Santa Maria roared up
from Havana to New York the other
day in seventeen and half hours,
which is three or four times as fast
as any steamship could make the
journey.
And. after all. even II 1t could be
done. what would be the Joy OF steam
ing to Europe in day or two?
Nobody can learn Switchboard thor

main dining room quite open to the
view Of passers by on two streets

atmosphere cheerful and suggestive Of

Senate Campaign Doodle Funds.

Attorney-General DAUGHERTY holds
that United States Senators are no
longer legally bound under the Fed
eral Corrupt Practices act to report
their campaign spendings. But, how
ever that act may have been altered
in respect OF the new system of choos-
ing Senators, and by the Supreme
Courts decision in the Newberry case,
one thing is certain in this vastly i'm
portant matter. 1t is that, valid law
or invalid law. the man who wishes
to retain the confidence of the Amer
lean people does need to file what IL
cost him TO be elected or defeated
for the Senate.
The voters OF the United States are
never going to overlook suspiciousiy
loose and scandalously huge cam.
paign squander for seats in the
United States Senate. whether for the
time being the Corrupt Practices act
is or is not seriously impaired.
Moreover, II Senate elections can
again become financial debauch to
the affront and horror Of American
ism without interference by the Fed
eral courts and Department of JUS
tice, Congress cannot too soon repair
the breach in the law, If for no other
reason than to square itself with
public opinion. No legislative body
that is not square with public opinion
can long be composed of the particu-
lar membership that defies or ignores
that public opinion.

A Bonus Tieup.

Bonus politieians IN Congress, both
the McCumber brand in the Senate
end the Fordney-Mondell brand in The
House, are in panic over the def
mite, Official and final notice they now
expect from President HARDING that
n sales tax to set out of the public
the five billions of dollars needed to
pay the bonus is the one plan the
Chief Executive OF the United States
would accept.
At the same time the Treasury
raiders in Congress, trying to put
over the stupendous grab for their
own political advantage in the com.
ing elections, frankly acknowledge
that the sales tax is the one plan
the agricultural representatives in
the Senate and in the House will not
accept.
II the McCumbers, Fordneys and
Mondells were to prepare bonus
measure with the sales tax to finance
1t they know they would have to
fight the very element in Congress
on which they have been relying to
Jam the bonus bill through. And
they do not fool themselves that they
could successfully fight it.
II, on the other hand, the McCum-
bers, Fordneys and Mondells we're
to try to jam through bonus meas
ure without the sales tax to finance
1t. they realize they would have to
fight the Presidents friends and sup
porters in Congress. And they know
these Harding followers could be
as strong for the President as the
agricultural members are strong
against the sales tax.
This stubborn alignment of forces,
irreconcilable on the one side as
against the bonus without the sales
tax and irreconcilable on the other
side as against the sales tax with the
bonus, presages that the bonus grab
may soon be discovered wedged be-
tween the devil and the deep blue sea.
The American people who do not like
the public burden that would be piled
on them by the bonus, do not counte-
nance the high handedness of and
cannot tolerate the morals OF the
bonus, will agree that there is the
place for 1t to stick.

From Apfdffon.

From, Apidtfor.
Few people realize that a small part
Of the, inner ear has much to do with
seasiciness, and that this same portion
of the ear affects the ability of a man
to handle an airplane or airship.
Since the close of the war the Ma
tional Research Council has HAD sew

OF human factors in flying. involving
'behavioristic" experiments on man and
animals. anatomical, physiological and
psychological studies of the functions
of the ear and associated eve move
ments; the writing of a history. ana

on the subject. Last year the workers
In this field came together and organ
lied themselves into a committee on
vestibular research for the purpose Of
encouraging and coordinatinx work In
this field. This committee has forrnu-
lated project on The Experimental
Study of Habtuation to Rotation .
which has been approved by the Ma
tional Research Council. This project
forms a natural nucleus around which
may be gathered data from field expert

Anxious Days for Horsemen.

Turfmen who have nominations in
the big stakes to be decided at the
various tracks in New York State,
Maryland and Kentucky this spring
are anxiously watching the progress
OF the epidemic OF coughing which
has already compelled the withdrawal
OF a number of horses from races to
be run in the next ten days. the
most notable of which are the Freak
ness. at Baltimore, and the Kentucky
Derby, at Louisville, to be decided
on Saturday. May 13.
AS these are $4,000 contests 1t is
q serious matter to have a promis-
ing candidate for either of them
taken down with what would be
equivalent to mild attack of infiu-
enza in a human being. The trouble
has been more prevalent among the
younger horses than the older, and
Il has been a handicap to the men
who are preparing programs for the
entertainment of the racing public
this spring.
Some oftthe stables have been for
tunate enough to have several noml-
nations for these valuable races. and
