of Kansas in the matter of health.
The deaths from tuberculosis are at
rate less than one-half that of the
whole registration area. Deaths
from heart disease, the most deadly
ailment Of humanity In the United
States, are also low by comparison.
In addition Kansas has compare
lively small negro population, and
the death rate among negroes is al
ways high. These three circum-
stances together account for small
proportion of the longer average
span Of life in Kansas in comparison
with the general average.
The good health area Of the United
States includes. In addition to Kan
sas. Wisconsin. Minnesota and q con-
siderable area lying to the south

educated to practice temperance in
their pursuits and temperance In their
pleasures is the real key to longev-
ity; and this is the experience of

Be Careful About the Coal.

The danger to New York from q
shortage of fuel supply after SHOWS
and freezes begin is not merely that
more coal must be burned to keep
our millions Of population warm. 1t
is also that 1t becomes increasingly
difficult to transport, deliver and
handle coal when railroad tracks and
switches are frost bound, the rivers
are clogged with ice and the streets
obstructed with snow.
There are few commodities harder
to move in wintry weather than coal.
The Jumps themselves freeze to one
another. They freeze to the railroad
car or the delivery truck. The heavy
loads stall in the drifts or drag
slowly over the slippery pavements.
When there is an abundance Of coal
to be shipped 1t cannot be delivered
fast enough in bad winter weather
to keep up with the growing con-
sumption. When there is not enough
anthracite in the store yards to go
around and when there Is little In the
consumers bin to tide over neces-
sary delays in delivery, New York
is in no position to waste any kind
of coal, and every consumer that can
burn bituminous coal should burn 1t. y
There is a good deal Of soft coal
available for early delivery, and the
man who puts 1t in his cellar before.
the snow drifts begin to pile up takes
out the only heating insurance he
can take out for himself this winter
and at the same time he helps his
neighbors and townsmen to better
chance for some Of the limited sup
ply of anthracite which, do what
anybody can do, will be altogether
too scant until well into next spring
Be careful about the coal, especially
the anthracite.

A Building Trades Truce.

A truce until the end of the year
has been arranged between the
bricklayers' union and the building
industry. II that were all there was
TO it then it might be Just as well if
there were no temporary cessation
of this labor war which, like the
coal strikes, breaks out necessarily
and keeps the public's affairs in re-
peated disturbance. But an arbitra-
tion board is to tackle the problem,
with SAMUEL UNTERMYER and Sena-
tor LocKwoon chief figures in the
Lockwood housing investigation, as
umpires. They are going to try to
work out terms Of peace to which
both sides will adhere long enough
to get the building trades out of
chaos.
But one thing the arbitration board
should bear in mind, and a thing it
should make both parties to the dis
pute realize, is that in these proceed
ings there is somebody besides the
union workers and the builders to be
satisfied. The public has had little
enough consideration through all
these building trade wars of recent
years and the time has come for the
public to get a square deal.
Building costs are excessive be-
cause on the one hand wages are
high. working hours short and labor
efficiency low, while on the other
hand contractors have not deeply
concerned themselves about the ex-
cessive costs so long as the public
could be made to pay the price. But
the public cannot be forced to pay
excessive rents, which mean other
excessive living costs, without I'm
jury to the city.
A city must be on a competitive
basis with other cities in exactly the
same sense as private business must
be on a competitive basis with other
businesses. If q city is not on rea-
sonably close competitive basis be-
cause of its excessive rents. excessive
taxes, excessive charges for every
thing, It will lose shipping to other
cities competing for the traffic, it
will lose manufacturing to other
cities competing for the business. it
will lose trade to other cities compet-
ing for the business.
The public's stake and the city's
stake in this problem Of getting
building costs on a sane and reason
able basis stand far ahead OF the
stake of the workers and the con-
tractors in the building trades. Any
arbitration board that ignores this
fundamental fact will not settle this
question right and will not bring
permanent peace in the building
trades.

Jazz the All Conquering.

Japan is the latest country to sue
cumb to the intoxicating rhythm OF
Jazz in its all conquering sweep
around the world. The music IS not
the only cause OF the great demand
for jazz songs and jazz records in
that country. The japanese are also
taking to the one step In its varied
forms and for that reason there IS
n vigorous demand from that country
for the latest form Of tho negro melo-
dies OF this country.
Although both had been a part OF
many musical performances, there
was no special outbreak OF negro mel
ody or negro dancing before the
sudden spread OF interest in the cake
walk. This came at the time when
WILLIAMS and WALKER, two we'll
known negro comedians and singers.
were at the height OF their popular
fly. While they may not have been
responsible for the stage use Of the
walk and its accompanying or, rather
stimulating music, their popularity
and their use of the steps helped to
account for its vogue.
II was more than score Of years
ago that the growth OF interest in the
cake walk on the stage seemed 20
direct public attention to negro dane
ing and negro music. No long inter-
val came between the last days Of the
cake walks vogue and the introdpc-
tion OF the music for the one step
which was finally described as synco-
patton. The craze for the dances
which we're accompanied by this
music is a matter Of the social his
tory OF few years just preceding

Bayards in America.
Relationship Of the Family Here
With the Perfect knight.

To THE NEW YORK HERALD: A. B.

their claim to relationship with Pierre

Balthazar Bayard. supposed grand
nephew OF the Chevalier de Bayard.

house of-Navarre, France. Samuel Bay
ard and judith Bayard were born Of this
union. During the Huguenot persecu-

Samuel and Judith fled into Holland.
History does not say whether their par
ents went with them or not.
Judith Bayard married Peter Stuy-
vesant. and Samuel married Anne Stuy-

land, and Anne Bayard. with her three
sons. came with her brother. Peter Stuy-

Demotion of Colonel Cobb.

President HARDING has done the
proper and at the same time the
startling thing in bestowing a com
mission in the Of1cers Reserve Corps
upon Irwin s. COBB. 1t is proper be-
cause Mr.. COBB deserved 1t. Through
war and turmoil he made the. cQun-
try smile whenever he could. He de-
clined to be downcast or to let any
body else indulge in gloom.
The startling part Of the Presi-
dents act is that he has made COBB
Major. Everybody knows that
COBB comes from Kentucky, where
birth automatically brings the title
of Colonel. Perhaps the President
conferred majority so that the Pa
ducahan would be set apart, distin-
guished, among his fellow Kentuck-
ians. JOHN ALLEN of Mississippi
gained fame by claiming to have
been the only Southerner to emerge
from the civil war with the title Of
Private. COBB win be remembered
as the only Kentucky Major, man
denoted by the President from his
hereditary rank Of Colonel.
We hope that CoBB's new Federal
title will not cause confusion. 'Will
he wear It when he serves on the
staff Of the commander in chief Of
the United Confederate Veterans,
who appointed him Colonel in 1917?
VIII he wear 1t when he acts In his
official capacity as member Of the
staff of the Governor Of Kentucky?
Trust Major COBB for handling such
situations. He is a Chevalier of the
Legion Of Honor. He is
Doctor of Laws by grace of Dart
mouth. He will wear all his honors
at once and gracefully.

compulsory and that any school
found working contrary to the in
terests Of the Moslems shall be I'm
mediately suppressed. On their face
these regulations may appear inno-
cent enough. but Americans familiar
with Turkish methods see in them
merely a means of suppression and
Of turning the institutions over to
Turkish control and ownership.
In the next place, the Kemalists in
the scheme to make Turkey a land
for Turks only are driving out all the
non-Turk inhabitants, or. as they are
called. the minority races. There
will be few children left for the
schools II the Kemalists carry out
this scheme, for, as DR.. GATES says,
"even to-day $4,000 pupils who were
formerly in our common and high
schools practically have disappeared
and the schools are closed"
Turkish thoroughness in ridding
Turkey of Christians was exempli-
fled In the recent Greek exodus from
eastern Thrace. When It became
known that the Turks were to take
control of the country $4,000 Greeks
deserted their homes. land and all
possessions which they could not
carry away and fed. All the ports
of Asia Minor are crowded now with
refugees. and messages to this paper
from Constantinople say that the
number is being constantly swollen
by people from the interior impelled
to flee to the coast by fear Of Turk
ish persecution and massacre. The
plight of these unfortunate people is
indicated by the appeals made to
the American naval base at Constan-
tinople One Of these says, "Ten
thousand Christians and 1000 or
phans trudging through the snow
from Sivas are looking to Americans
to save them; another, "Can you,
take thousand mountain children?
If not, 1t means their end"
DR.. GATES may we'll ask what is to
be the future of the tremendous in
vestment in American religious in
stitutions in the shape of schools and
colleges. If the decision is to be
left to Turkish torch and scimitar
there will be neither schools nor pu
pills to attend them.

American Institutions in Turkey.

For the first time in their history
the American educational and phil
anthropic institutions in the Near
East are in actual peril. These in
stitutions, some Of which were estab-
lished in the autocratic reign of
ABDUL-AzIz, encouraged In a measure
by even ABDUL HAND. the Red Sui
tan, and unmolested during the
regime OF the Young Turks, are now
threatened with extinction by the
Arrogance of the Kemalists' Angora
Government. DR.. GATES, president
of Robert College, expressed this
fear conservatively when he said to
q correspondent OF THE New YORK
HERALD at Lausanne, "Our status is
becoming more and more serious in
the face OF the new attitude OF the
Turks"
The two most important Of these
American educational institutions
are Robert College at Constantinople
and the Syrian Protestant College at
Beirut, Syria. Robert College,
founded by CHRTsToPHER RHINE
LANDER ROBERT, New York mer-
chant, occupies with it's numerous
buildings about twenty acres Of land
on the heights OF Rumeli Hissar, on
the European shore of the Bosporus.
The fine buildings Of the Beirut col
lege, often called the Bliss College in
honor Of DR.. Bliss, long its presi-
dent, are in a commanding position
Just above the town. Both of these
institutions were incorporated in
1864 under the laws of the State OF
New York and thus became part OF
the University OF New York.
on. the Bosporus just above Sou
tart is the American College for
Women, the most important school OF
its kind in Turkey. It's pupils come
not alone from Christian homes: at
one time each Turkish Cabinet Min
lister was represented by one or more
young women OF his household. Be-
sides these there are hundreds OF
smaller schools supported by Ameri-
can religious denominations or phil
anthropic societies.
These institutions represent the
investment OF millions OF dollars.
Turkish civil and military officials
have enjoyed their advantages. They
have never been centers OF propa-
ganda against the Turkish Govern
ment, however wretchedly bad it
was, nor centers OF political discus
sion or racial strife. They have ad-
hered closely TO their mission and
have been not only the most impor-
tant factor in the education and en-
lightenment of Turkey but at the
same time outposts OF Western
civilization.
The menace 10 these American In
stitutions comes from two direc-
tions. In the first place, the Angora
Government, flushed with its military
success. has decreed that they must
submit to Turkish inspection. that

Pershing under the auspices of the
American Defense Society.
"At present we do not sec definite in

er we shall have war in five, ten or
twenty years" Gen. Pershing said. 'If
we knew now to a certainty that armed
conflict would come in twenty years
there were be an immediate demand for
preparations. Yet that is tho approxi-
mate interval that we have had in the
past between major wars. There Is no
reason to think that the immediate fu-

the liberty and freedom of action which
we accord to all who live within our

to take undue advantage of our hospital

mankind. and 1t should be most fully
recognized that we must actually assim-
Hate all these divergent elements If we
hope to fulfill the glorious promise Of
our past. In this work It is particu-
larly important that we improve the

tongue and aim at unified national
ideals. Proclaiming. constructive free

tolerate the license of destructive pur-

There are countless panaceas that
offer immunity against destructive in
fluences but the remedy Is actual
training In citizenship. There Is no way
to emphasize and impress the youthful
mind that will bring greater results
than through some outward physical
effort. In any event. we must teach
future citizens what America stands for
and encourage them to help carry out
her great purposes. Obligations Of the
next generation will be even greater
than our own and the sacred duty OF
training that generation Is In our hands.
