"Fotygrafs"

IN the Contributors Club of the
months "Atlantic" is a plant of
the persistence of "a certain huge
card box still to be seen on the top
most shelf of a rather inaccessible
closet in the old home"
"A film Of dust" We are told, "lies
upon it; length of pale, fuzzy
string binds it about, and within are
photographs, numberless, and for
the most part anonymous. Most of
them picture babies-babies with
vague eyes, expressionless features
and a terrifying hold on life"
The list might be enlarged. Think
of the days when members Of each
graduating class Exchanged" and
the way that time and intrusive
light, fattening shadows, have re-
duced everything to plaster of paris
white! The old cabinet" was a
fearsome thing. Then what funny
clothes they wore-and their collars
and neckties! One newspaper office
remembers how one victim of a pro-
posed illustration, who had not sat-
for long time, stipulated that the
staff photographer should rout out
balloon sleeves and fit her a new
pair of arms.
But the closet is not populated with
these wraiths, compared with which
Conan Doyle's spirit pictures are
hearty and rubicund, solely because
of Indifference or shame. We have
been parties to a campaign of ridi-
Guile which has driven the album
from the center table. 1t was a
grand old institution, this book, once
paved over on rainy days and anus
ing to grandchildren. One could at
least laugh as its board-like pages
were turned. did you look like
that?" Eyes, I did; but look at
YOURSELF"
After all, the old by 6 cabinet,
which at least stacked, was better
than the 'bolders" Of later day or
the life-size presentments of to-day,
which are too numerous to frame
and too big to hide.

The National Anthem
e Editor of The Tribune.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: I should like to express my
ideas of what q national anthem should
and should not be.
1t should not be episode, like 1.-THE
Star Spangled Banner" nor should it,
as does that anthem, express hatred OF
another nation. 1t should not be Sec
tional, like "Dixie." 1t should not be
militaristic. America is to lead the
nations in establishing world peace.
1t should express abstract qualities.
such as freedom, justice, patriotism,
in the highest sense; love Of the flag,
the brotherhood of man. 1t should
stress the spiritual and should mention
the name Of God. The poem should
be written and the music composed by
Americans. The music should be dig
nifed, rich and singable.
A national anthem that would prop
erly represent America to-day would

Fishermen recognize the standard
rule that fishing is best. in the evening
when the shadows begin to lengthen.
Apparently the same ruls. applies in
Nassau Street, when the Sidewalk sales
men are most active and successful in
the sale of their varied wares
From 4 o'clock to $3.50, right when
the trout fisherman is busiest and hap
piest, the sidewalk statesmen of Nassau
Street are busy and happy also. The
tide of travel sets through the narrow
street toward the subways and elevated
and the bridge at that hour. And it
is like no other tide of travel in New
York.
1t is the quietest crowd in the city.
1t is comprised mostly of clerks and
Office employees Of the big corporations
housed in the financial district Con-
versation is carried on quietly-almost
in undertones. This is made possible
by the lack of wheeled traffic in this mar
row canyon, which was once an Indian
trail and then a country lane and is
now the workers short cut to and from
the center Of the financial world. Oc-
casionally motor pushes along, amid
the crowd, which overflows the side
walks and plods along between the
curbs, but there Is little honhng Of
horns. The scufling Of feet makes q

drawn-out tone with which Wagner
opened the "Rheingold" which is sup
posed to indicate the bed of the river
Upon this quiet the statesmen Of
Nassau Street launch their voices with
superb effect. Where these statesmen
come from nobody knows, but they are
there every day, in varying numbers.
They have suitcases and little camp
stools. The stools are not for sitting
purposes, but hold the opened suit
cases, from which the statesmen produce
their wares. Sometimes they sell neck
ties, socks or handkerchiefs. Or 1t may
be cheap jewelry, or many other things
puzzles, games, postcards, knives,
watches, rings, cut-out pictures for
the children-anything may come out
Of the satchel opened up by one of
these Nassau Street statesmen.
You would think, naturally, that
Nassau Street would be the poorest
place in the world for such angling.
Here are thousands coming from the
greatest financial districts. II one

A Cry for Help

German sympathy in the war and
Soviet sympathy since the war have
forced the New York Socialist party
into political bankruptcy. In other
days it was rigidly independent. 1t
nominated its own ticket from top
to bottom, scorning all alliances.
Now it's leaders, Morris Hillquit
and Algernon Lee. are sending out a
call for meeting at Beethoven Hall
July Is of Socialist and Farmer
Labor delegates for the purpose of
putting out fusion ticket for Con-
gressional and state Offices.
The teachings of the Socialist
party and the conduct of its leaders
are distasteful to real Americans,
whether native or naturalized.

women who formerly formed it's rank

Its membership has steadily
dwindled since the war. Its power
has weakened in New York City
and in factory towns up state. The

before it is fast disappearing. First
Germany exposed the hollowness Of
its pretended internationalism and
then Russia showed how the So
clahst system works.

Art Center and Civic Center

Art Center and Civic Center
To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: The plans for the new Art Cen
ter at the upper end of Seventh Ave-
nue. give promise of group Of splen-
did buildings in an ideal location. A
monumental building at the end Of
fine avenue gives gratifying vista. As
we approach Columbus Circle from any
direction the statue Of Columbus
pleases the eye. Lower Broadway
bends at Tenth Street, and Grace
Church stretches across the line Of
vision as we look up Broadway. 1t is
pleasing vista. One of the glories Of
the City of Munich is that its grand
avenues terminate with fine buildings
or attractive monuments placed across
them.
New York's Civic Center is now be-
ing developed. The County Courthouse
is assured, and the Federal Courthouse
and downtown postoff1ce seem reason
ably assured. These buildings will
supplement the Hall of Records and
the Municipal Building, and all will
form a northern extension Of City Hall
Park, with no building on it but the
beautiful City Hall.
Why not erect the war memorial in
our Civic Center? Why an Arch Of
Triumph? Do we expect to celebrate
our future victories in war by march
ing our victorious armies, captives and
loot under a triumphal arch as the
Romans did? Why not erect In our
Civic Center, associated with our halls
of justice, a memorial building, q
Pantheon, on whose inner walls shall
be inscribed for all time our roll Of
honor in the World War-a complete
and finished building dedicated to that
one purpose?
Within the Enclosure of the Palais de
Justice of Paris is perfect gem Of
Gothic architecture, the Sainte
Chapelle, erected in the thirteenth CEN
fury, and preserved for now nearly a.
thousand years with its original mag
nifcent stained glass windows. For
all time we will be as proud of our
Pantheon as Paris is of its Sainte
Chapelle.
And in the mean time let Central
Park remain park and add to the park
space within it when the cid reservoir
IS removed. HENRY D. WILLIAMS.

Sir: Why does a correspondent waste
his Ink and your space protesting
against "The Star-Spangled Banner" as
our national anthem? He might as
we'll talk of discarding the Declaration
Of independence as the statement of
our national principles.
The immense majority of us are per-
fectly satisfied with "The Star-Span-
gled Banner" and since we sang it so
frequently and grandly during the war
everybody knows the first and last
verses at least and is perfectly willing
to sing them on patriotic occasions.

More Truth Than Poetry
BY James J. Montague
For Parents Only

Tommy hid a pound of powder
In the kitchen kindling wood;
The explosion sounded louder
Than he ever thought it could.
When they held the big process
sion,
And the fireworks on the lot,
Tommy wore a panied expression
On his small secluded cot.
Willie twined a tiny finger
Round a bomb that cost ten
cents;
But the reader need not linger
On the sequence of events.
To his keen and poignant sorrow,
Little Willie learned to-day
That he'll not be there tomorrow
When the bands and bugles
play.
Johnny bought painted rocket
Which was quite his hearts
desire,
And he had it in his pocket
AS he stood beside the fire.
Something unexpected started,
Johnny very quickly rose,
And the rocket, which departed,
Spoiled his brand new suit of
clothes.
We will not be any prouder
Of the fact that we are free,
By employing guns and powder
AS expressions of our glee.
High explosives have their uses,
But they don't make proper
toys,
And they're subject to abuses
In the hands Of little boys.

George Washington did not cele-

but it must be remembered that
there were no golf courses in the

Fame, the Double-Crosser


He thought up a clever wheeze on
current topic and sent it to a humor-
Gus weekly. short time thereafter
it was returned with the usual regrets
He believed it was too good for OBJ
scurity and sent it to his favorte
column. One morning he found it had
landed
week or so later he bought copy
of the humorous weekly. Nestled in
the "Our Contemporaries" column was
the clever wheeze referred to above
Acknowledging therefor was made
tc the paper that carries the column.
To cool his wrath he stepped into
a vodcvlle house. "Topcs of the Day"
was flashed on the screen, and there
was the clever wheeze, acknowledge
ment therefor being given to the hu-
morous weekly.
If this were Russia we could have
him go out at this point and take
poison. But it isn't, and we must
leave him in the vodevile house to
take it out on the actors.

The greatest graft in this world is
amiability. If you are easy to get
along with people will forgive you
every offense in the whole calendar Of
/ sin, and if you are pleasant to have
around, the whole world constitutes it.
self your guardian angel
You may be as homely as the pro-
verbal mud fence. Nobody cares, if
only you wear the smile that won't
come off. You may be as dull as
ditch water, without two ideas to rub
| together in your head. Your society
will be eagerly sought if you say the
sort of things to people that make
them feel good. You may be lazy, and
shiftless, and inefficient. Nobody
cares whether you do anything else
or not, if you always rub their fur the
right way.
On the contrary, you may have
every virtue under the sun; your mid
die name may be Efficiency, and you
may work yourself to death for others
without ever getting credit, or graft
tude, or reward for your labor, if you
are irritable. and irrascible, and have
personality that rifles those with
whom you come in contact
Look at the households that have
nagging saints at the heads of themi
We all know women who would check
up a 100 per cent perfect in any blue
ribbon wife contest. We all know
women VINO deny themselves every
thing possible in order to save their
husbands money; who burn them
selves to a crisp cooking just the
things their families like to eat; who
sit up half the night sewing so that
their NAMES and Sallies may have
just as many furbelows as richer girls
have; whose houses are cleaned and
scrubbed until they are SO immaculate
you might eat off the floors.
But these women are punches of
nerves They are always fretting and
complaining. They are perpetually
finding fault with their children and
husbands. They consider it their
sacred duty to wet-blanket every plan
and project. 1t is a hanging crime
and misd emeanor in their houses to be
five minutes late to a meal, or move a
chair, or rumple a rug.
They never laugh; they are never
jolly. They never chum up with their
families, and then they wonder why
their husbands and childrens idea of
having a good time is to get away
from home, and why they are not ap-
preciated, and loved.
And they think this is an ungrateful
world because some other woman who
is slack housekeeper, and buys ready
made clothes for her children is
adored by her family for no other rea-
son than that she is gentle, and af-
fectionate, and soft-spoken, and
