Rarity of Albino Animals.
Handicapped by Defective Sight and
Conspicuousness In Wild State.
From fhs geld

From the FIELD.
1t is often stated that domestication
favors tho birth OF albino animals. The
belief upon which this statement rests
appears to be due to the rarity of albinos
among wild species II must be remem-
bered, however. that In the struggle
for life albinos are handicapped by two
things, conspicuousness and defective
eyesight. and are consequently at dis
advantage in competition with normally
colored individuals with unimpaired
vision. Seldom. therefore. will they sue
coed In reaching maturity. Hence their
rarity.
Now and again. however. exceptions
are recorded among different orders OF
mammals, and quite recently the ZooloEi-
cal Society has been fortunate enough
to secure pure albino monkey captured
at Morogoro. Tanganyika Territory. by
Lieutena mt Colonel r. L. C. Luxmore-
Ball. d. S. o.. and generously purchased
for the society. The absence of distin-
gushing marks supplied by color makes
the precise identification Of the specimen
a matter of some difficulty. That 1t Is
referable to one OF the races Of which
the common South African vervet is the
best known form is probable. The vervet
with its local sub-species ranges from
Cape Colony through East Africa. One
OF the commonest races TO the north OF
the Zambesi is the so-called Mozambique
monkey. Possibly the white example Is
to be referred to that form, or 1t may be

corded from KilimanjAro and Kenia.
Normal individuals of these monkeys
are greenish in color with white under
parts. a variable amount OF reddish hair
beneath the tall. blackish hands and feet,
gray or whitish brown stripe, a sooty
Liack face and hazel brown eyes. In the
white specimen the hair Is everywhere
like snow. the naked hands, feet ana

are pale pink with the iris family blue.

No matter what other fashions the
authorities may decree for men dur
Ing the approaching winter, there Is
one tendency which must not be over
looked. Men have decided that their
dress shall be more informal. II the
clothes designers arc able to check
this movement It will be their first
victory in the whole history OF mans
apparel.
Steadily has tho change toward
lack Of formality and thus toward
greater comfort been making prog
ress. This tendency during the war
was manifested in a degree OF indif-
ference on the part Of the younger
generation which sent them to formal
balls wearing soft shirts and tailless
coats. There has been a reaction
against such lack Of consideration for
the opinions Of the women who went
in appropriate garb.
Strictly formal evening dress is as
imperative as ever under certain con-
ditions. Men with due sense OF social
propriety would not think of violat-
ing the rules which custom has made.
Stir shirts, white ties and standing
collars are as necessary as a tail
coat and silk hat, patent leather
shoes and white waistcoat. The
man who departs from such apparel
on formal occasions like a dinner,
the opera or ball is inappropriately
dressed.
But there are more occasions than
there used to be when he can assume
less formal garments. The number
OF guests may be so small that he
may properly wear dinner coat and
maybe plated shirt. or II he Is i'm
bued with the present idea OF COM
fort first, even an unstarched collar.
He Is, moreover, at liberty to commit
such picturesque sclecisms, II he be
so inclined, as to wear a white waist
coat with black tie. rnformality
inevitably broadens the field for
mans imagination in the matter Of
habiliments.
Those men who know how to dress
appropriately are able to indulge the
urge to comfort only by thus care
fully distinguishing the occasions
which call for strictly formal attire
from those on which some latitude is
permissible. Why the average man
should assume a dinner coat without
a murmur and yet groan at the
thought OF complete evening dress is
a question which has never been

Little as there Is to the credit of
any of the Congress bonus promoters,
willing as they are to raid the ma
tional Treasury to the tune of five
billions Of dollars for their own po-
litical advantage, the Joint Confer
ence Committee is to be commended
for striking out Of the Fordney-Mc-
Cumber measure two OF its provisions
which were utterly indefensible.
The McNary scheme, which has
been cut out Of the bill, proposed to
spend s350.000,000 on retaining
swamp and desert lands on which the
soldiers might have the first call to
take up as settlers. Nobody could
possibly know how many war vet
Grams would want to be settlers on
such lands, or IL they did go into the
venture what they would make OF 1t
or how long they would stick to 1t.
But everybody can see that once these
reclamation spendings got started
out of the national Treasury to the
financial benefit Of the private owners
and the communities interested in the
now worthless lands there might be
no end to the sQuander.
AS for the provision to make the
bonus payments out Of the foreign
war loans, now also cut out, 1t might
as we'll be called pure bunk as practi-
cal legislation. There is no telling
when single foreign war debt owed
to the United States Government will
be cleaned up. There is mo certainty
that enough Of these war debts will
be paid of in cold cash during the
next ten years to give every one Of
the bonus seekers ten dollar bill.
And II there were any reason to
expect that five billion dollars or
one billion, or any other amount due
our Government from the foreign
Governments, were coming back to
us in the near future, the fact would
remain that the American people put
up the money for these foreign war
loans on the distinct understanding
and the explicit pledge written into
the law governing the Liberty bond
issues that as the allied Governments
should pay OF those debts the money
would go back to the American peo-
pie out OF whose pockets it came.
To propose financing the bonus raid
out of the foreign loans under such
circumstances was no better than to
plan a fraud against the American
people IL the money did come back
from abroad and contemplate trick
on the bonus seeking soldiers II it
did not come back.

More Pay for the Patrolmen and
Firemen.

The patrolmen and fremen Of New
York are asking the Board OF Esti-
mate for salary increase Of $22C
year. They ought to have it.
We do not forget that they had
an increase in 1918, because THE New
York HERALD led the mems fight for
that rise. It was a substantial in
crease-$7S0 a year-but, with the
exception of a miserable rise Of 500
a year in 1916, 1t was the first in
crease the police had received In
twenty-four years.
The rank and file Of the police and
fire departments are now paid $2,2S0
a year or $43.S5 a week.
A bricklayer gets $55 q week; q
plasterer sos and whatever bonus the
contractor will bid; a stone mason
$55; a boilermaker sos. Plumbers
sheet metal workers and roofers re-
ceive $3.50. The hands In the He
brew and Polish bakeries get from
$54 to $50.
The men In the trades named
work forty-four hours q week; po-
licemen and firemen are on duty
from seventy-seven to eighty-four
hours weekly.
The men in the trades receive
double pay for night work or over
time. Policemen and firemen do not
get a penny for extra service.
Policemen and flremen are obliged
by law to live in the city, where
rents are high. They must pay for
their uniforms. A fireman replaces
out Of his own pocket any part Of
his equipment that is damaged. even
when he Is at fire.
The Legislature In 1921 and again
last spring passed bills providing
$4,000 year for the policemen and
firemen. Mayor HYLAN vetoed the bills
on the ground that the raising OF
city employees pay was the function
Of the Board Of Estimate.

week to the salary OF the patrolmer
and firemen could be left to a vote
of the citizens OF New York there
is no doubt that they would get 1t

into personal contact with every church

This formidable undertaking. considering
the number and locations Of some Of the

OF course nearby churches. like his home
church at Mount Vernon and those In
the metropolitan district, were visited
very many times.
