Last night heard a woodthrush clearly

And to mountain valley was borne
The feathered melodist my heart trans.

To sudden joyance from the MOOD
to mourn.
Then I was thrall to loneliness nc

For burning through the arching elm:

The while the birds impassioned notes
grew stronger.
The vesper star became the star oi
love.
Through musics magic my desire was
granted.
For while the song rose in ecstatiC

Down a dim vale that seemed a place
enchanted
walked with one with rapture in her

Plans and arrangements for the COM
p'etion of wing X of the Metropolitan
Museum were outlined by Edward Rob-
inson. the director, at meeting yester-
day, when recent accessions were
shown to the press. This wing. which 10
known to the public as the location
where the architectural show OF 1870
was held. has been completed as to OK
terror since 1914, standing thus for lack
of funds. The million dollar appropria-
tion recently voted to the museum
makes possible its interior completion
as well as the placing OF several ex-
hibits there which are to use this annex
as permanent quarters.
In the finished section there will be
thirty galleries and a large court similar
60 that In wing II. where is the arnor
collection. The first floor will be used
for the Greek and classical art. so that
1t may be located in a common setting.
The Cesnola collection also will be placed
on the same level. On the upper floo-
the Altman collection and the print de-
partment will be given permanent locA-
tions and the remaining galleries VIII
contain decorative art and miscellaneous
material 1t is not likely that this work
can be completed inside a year.
The collection of Oriental carpets re-
Gently contributed TO the museum py
James F. Ballard Of ST. Louis has
rot as yet been placed In the galleries.
1t Is being shown at present In Minnea'
polls and will come here after being ex-
hibited in Chicago. The Ballard gift is
interestingNfrom the viewpoint that 1t Is
given by q man from city having a
museum of its own. In donating 1t to
the Metropolitan Mr.. Ballard said that
ten times as many people would see It
here, and he wanted the largest number
to benefit.
Del sarto Picture Acquired.
"The Holy Family" a canvas by An.
drea del Sarto. Is one of the inlportan'
accessions ofthe past month. For many
years this canvas was known only
through good copy and the original

with which II was covered II shows as

Discrediting Columbus.
Claims Of Left Erikson as Americas
DiscOyerer Put Forward.

present resolution is being sponsored by

sentative Michael ]. Hogan. both of New
York.

honor justly due for such a notable
accomplishment. but since he was not
we are compelled to protest against be-
ing required to pay homage to an i'm
postor.
For centuries the true discovery. of
America by Left Erikson has been OBJ
scured In every way possible and the
geographical facts learned through II
appropriated to stage a counterfeit dis
covery." However. in the last half CEN
tury anuquarians have revealed so
much indisputable evidence to estab-
lish the Morse discovery Of the year
1000 that almost every modern United
States history records the event in its
opening pages.
Before any further effor; is made to
legalize Columbus Day l. would be
wise to appoint an all Ameran COM
mission to examine the merits lind de-
merits Of the Columbus claim. Such
commission should be thoroughly in
structed in the photography of the old
Scandinavian north. wherein lies the
proof OF the discovery Of the North
American continent by Left Erikson
nearly 500 years before the first voyage
of Columbus. 1t Is a fact that Colum-
bus never set foot on the soil of North
America and consequently could not be
its discoverer.

Mr.. Potato.

If the American people were asked
to state the highest price flight at
tained in the war imitation by any
food product. any necessary of life
any commodity whatsoever of gen.
eral consumption-how many would
guess It?
Sugar touched the clouds. but 1t
wasn't sugar which made the eleva-
tion record. 1t wasn't coal or coke
Nor was 1t cotton print cloth, hides
steel or lumber, with all the climbing
any Of that list did. 1t was the
humble potato.
By the index number Of the
Department of Commerce showing
Wholesale prices at the war peak. the
price OF wheat for the producer got
UP from norlnal 100 TO 32o. as COM
pared with 14o last February. Cot
ton print cloth reached 4S0; 1t was
down in February to about 100. Hides
just missed scaling 500: now about
S0-below the index number normal
Sugar rang the bell at 500; now a
little better than 100. Coke topped
500 and went on bit higher to about
630-down now to about 10.
But the potato-the farm price tc
the producer--got just beyond 700!
And having broken all the price
flight records, the champion high
price fiier of the war has since re-
fused to get down to earth again, still
being at 200.

THE White Plague.
Fight Against tuberculosis in New
York Still Far From Won.

To THE New York HERALD From
60 to SO'per cent. are not under medical
care" That was the rather startling
answer Of our statistical department in
reply to question Involving the con-
tinued prevalence of tuberculosis within
certain specified areas os our city.
The fact Is that during the six years
from 1915 to 1890. inclusive. the section
west Of Catharine street, the Bowery.
West Broadway and Sixth avenue. up
to West Fourteenth street. and extend
ing down to the very tip end of the
city. with a population of approximately
175.o0o Cor about that of Syracuse).
had a tuberculosis death rate in certain
of the smaller sanitary areas reaching
as high as 1,lf7 per 100000 population,
when in the city as 2 whole the rate was
only 14s; and the further striking fact
is that while on May of this year the
Department of Health registration OF
known living cases of pulmonary tuber-
culosis In that section of the city totaled
1,710 there were on that day in the
district west of Broadway 67s patients.
or so per cent of the. local registration,
who were not under medical care. while
in the district east Of Broadway 466
more cases, or so per cent. OF the local
registration. were remaining ''at home."
or had recently been lost track of from
their previously given addresses. and
consequently were also not under med
ical care.
1t is necessary also to draw attention
to the circumstance that here In New
York city during the month of April or
this year the number of deaths from
tuberculosis in its various forms was
56s. as against 562 a year ago during
the same month.
While it is true, of course. that the
deaths in this city from this scourge in
1921 showed a decrease over 1920, 1t
would indeed be great misfortune II
any unwarranted sense of security
should thereby be permitted to exist in
the public mind. There must be no
Misrepresentation as to the ever present
danger from the white plague" here in
New York city, or as to the constant
need for conducting the most strenuous
possible tuberculosis fight, without
a moments slackening.
For the good Of New York we shall
be glad to give helpful information
without charge to all who. need It.

A Chaplain at 1S.
The Grand Army Encampment Calls
Him to the C0lors Once More.

To THE New YORK HERALD: Among
the picturesque figures at the State en-
campment. G. A. r.. last week at Utica
was the Rev. T. NJ. House of Water
ford. N Y. whose service as army chap
lain and preacher reaches back just
sixty years (1s62-1922). Early in the
civil war the Tenth Militia, New York
State National Guard. became the 177th
New York Volunteers, and young House
was appointed It's assistant chaplain.
The regiment sailed from New York to
New Orleans, and after many delays
passed up the Mississippi, then being
fought for between the Federals and
Confederates.
Not long afterward the chaplain re-
signed and returned home. leaving
everything in his line Of duty to his
junior, then only IS years of age. The
latter visited the hospitals and attended
fairly we'll to the routine of his office.
In due time the regiment took its place
in the army besiegng Port Hudson; but
no new chaplain was appointed.
During the long time that difficult
siege was in process a member Of an
old and prominent Albany, N. Y. fam
| lily died. and being one OF the regimen
tai staff was by custom entitled to a
funeral service. Brigadier-General
Nickerson suddenly halted Company H
in the midst OF drill. called young
House out and informed him that he
was to preach the funeral sermon for
the late adjutant.
The assistant chaplain protested that
he had never done such a thing and had
not even been ordained But the Gen.
eral. very likely annoyed that private
should hesitate to carry out even such
an unusual command. peremptorily or
dered him to prepare to do so--not with
out the use Of some such vain exple-
tives as creep into nearly gil the events
Of army life.
It was done. evidently to the satisfac-
ton Of the commanding officer. who re-
marked upon completion Of the young
assistant chaplain's duty that were he
of age and ordained he would receive
shoulder straps on the spot.
This meant that he would appoint
young House as chaplain--carrying
with it the rank and pay OF captain
on the field and send his name to the
War Department at Washington for ap-
proval. The veteran clergyman tells
this incident as the most unique In his
long service. ROBERT BRUCE.

Kato, Japan's New Premier.

The accession Of Admiral Baron
ToMosABURo KATo to the Japanese
Premiership undoubtedly comes as
welcome news to America and Europe.
Although one Of Japan's most dis
tinguished naval officers, Admiral
KATo's utterances have shown him to
be opposed to the aggressive policy of
the militar;sts of his country and
favorable to the economic develop
ment Of Japan and the improvement
of her international relations with
the world He was the head of the
Japanese delegation at Washington
and he labored consistently for the
attainment of the main purpose of
the conference. His selection for the
post of Premier is regarded at Wash
ington as a victory for the princi-
pies of armament limitation as an
nounced at the conference there last
autumn.
Admiral KAIo succeeds Baron
TAKAHAsHI. who came to his Office
last November following the assassi-
nation of TAKAsHI HARA Both of
his immediate predecessors had at
tanned prominence in Japanese polit-
ical life. HARA especially was a rep
resentative of new Japan's public
servants. He had come more from
the people than from the aris-
tocracy and he brought to the Pre-
miership an understanding of the
every day problems Of the japanese.
He was able to hold not only his own
party but most of the other turbulent
parliamentary parties in order and
thus obtain legislative action.
In succeeding HARA, TAKAHAsHI
also succeeded to the leadership Of
/ HARA's party. which was then and
still is the dominant political party
in Japan. He came into power soon
after the meeting OF the Washington
conference and 1t was feared that a
clash between him and Admiral KAro
would defeat the latter's plans.
TAxAHAsuu. however, refused to in
! terfere with the instructions which
the delegates had received and KATo
continued as the leading spirit OF
the japanese delegation. TAKAHAsHr
was unable to hold his party in line
and its factional fights and conse-
quent lack of support finally forced
his resignation. This brought about
the situation which permits KATo
to present to Japan a program based
upon the policy which he favored
and supported at the Washington
conference.
Admiral KATo belongs to no politi-
cal party. but it Is understood that
the backing Of the majority. or the
Seiyukai, party has been promised to
him. The opposition which contronts
KATo is not an opposition to his policy
Of limitation OF armament but to the
fact that the selection OF man with
out party affiliation was blow at the
development of party government in
Japan; IN other words, that his ap-
pointment was reactionary. KATo,
however, has shown himself a rather
shrewd politician by making sure Of
the support Of the Seiyukai. The in
dications are that there will be new
alignment of parties which will make
impossible such deadlocks as have
often in the past defeated parlia-
mentary programs.
Admiral KATo comes to his post
with an understanding entered into
by army leaders agreeing to a policy
Of retrenchment and considerable
reduction in the army budget. He
has the privilege. too. of making the

Mans Life Is Lengthening.

The span of mans life in the
United States is surely and steadily
lengtlening in spite OF the Biblical
threescore years and ten. 1t is re-
ported by the statistical department
Of the Metropolitan Life Insurance
Company that there has been an In
crease of two and three-quartersy years
in the life span in the last decade.
and that the duration of life has been
stretched fifth in less than a gen.
Grafton.
The complete expectation of life at
birth is now 54.3 years, as compared
with 51.5 in. 1910 and 49.2 in 1901.
The child born in 1922 is entered on
natures books for five years more Of
life than the child born at the open
ing of the century.
This most recent table also shows
an improvement in the death rate in
middle life and old age. with a corr
responding improvement in the life
expectation in those periods. When
the 1910 figures were published it
was observed that after 45 the death
rate showed very little improvement.
In fact, at some ages. as at 60 and
over, 1t showed increases. The fig
ures which are now available present
no such disturbing features. There
Is indeed a slight but definite
change for the better in the later
periods Of life.
Such news Is notable in the face
of the fact that during the score Of
years in which this longer lease has
been obtained life in our cities and
to some extent even in the rural dis
tricts has been keyed nervously to a
higher pitch. The pace is swift, but
apparently we are developing the
stamina or making the necessary ad-
justments to stand 1t. All life is a
series OF adjustments and readjust-
ments. The plant which grows at
first in such way that it does not
receive light sufficient for healthy
life twists nd turns until it makes
a more favorable adjustment. Only
by adjustment to his new environ
ment does the wild animal live
in health in captivity.
It may be that man is only now
learning how to live in cities. The
time may come when New York and
London will form perfect environ
ment for the maintenance Of life.
WILLIAM JAMES, who was as
soundly informed in physiology and
psychology as any man who ever
lived and who made many shrewd
ana practical observations from his
knowledge, maintained that most of
us live on a lower level Of activity. a
lower plane of energy, than is neces-
sary. 1t was his contention that
there are untapped depths in every
mans capacity for life. and that such
use of himself as THEODORE ROOSEVELT
made was not 50 much the result of
superior endowment as of determine
tion and courage to tap the unused
reservoirs of strength. His advice,
without it's authority of scientific
background, was long ago framed in
the phrase: Hard work never hurt
anybody"
Many things have contributed to
the lengthening of mans life In the
last twenty years, but there has been
no greater factor than the diffusion
of information in matters Of personal
hygiene and the care OF children.
When every man knows as much
about the machinery of his body and
its requirements as he does about his
automobile the span Of life will have
further increased. In fact. the span
Of mars life is not In sight.
