 New York, June 10.-It's too bad. Just as the rest of the country gets all set in the belief that New York stands for exactly two things, some body goes and upsets the tradition. New York, of course, Is supposed to be full of nothing but short lives and long chances. Of crimes and Croesi Of scandals and vandals.
 You'd no more think of looking to New York for culture than you'd look to Central Park with its nurse maids and it's zoo for an opera house or a set of municipal art studies Which is where the little old town has it's fingers crossed again. For Central Park, along two blocks or the south side, is exactly where you may look very soon for the begin nings of one of the finest municipal art centers In the world.
 cool S15,000,000 Is to be spent on the two- blocks, square home of art which will advance education in painting, music, and the drama. The city. moreover, will donate the land This, mind you, in the interests of culture, and not of any other crime. The mayor didn't even stipulate that his portrait must adorn the drop curtain of the opera house, which is to be among the incest opera houses on this or any planet You don't even have to vote the straight Tam many ticket in order to study "cu- bistry" or whatever it Is they study nowadays in a studio. You needn't even know how to spell Murphy in order to get shot at play-acting in the municipal theatre. Politics doesn't figure. Cash doesn't figure. Only culture. And it's five-hopr ride from Boston, too.
 Lives to Re 100
 Another thing This crash and hurry, short life and worry idea. Too bad once more. Folks, meet Dr. Stephen Smith, who received the hon orary degree of Doctor of Science at Columbia College commencement ex- ercises.
 Most regrettable this. from the point of New York tradition. No body in this town of rush and riot is supposed to live to be much over 45. Fifty is ripe old age. Well, of course. they tried to keep 1t secret but the fact leaked out. pr. Smith is

SUGGEST STANDARD
 CELEBRATION 0F INDEPENDENCE DAY
League of Foreign Voters Would Seek to Teach Aliens
 Ideals of America
By Associated Press


 New York, June 10--The League 1f Foreign Born Voters has suggested a standardized celebration of Inde- pendence Day. which calls for hold ing of "civic Court of Honor" in every city and hamlet in the country. featuring a pageant illustrative of epochs in American history.
 The league maintains that the im- migrant is confused by the waving of flags and conglomeration of sound that greets him on the Fourth of July, and that no organized attempt to interpret to him the meaning of the day Is made,
 Parades are suggested to give a true conception of the cultural con tribution of the foreign-born citi- zens There should be floats or eableaux depicting in panorama the eras of discovery, exploration, colo nization, signing of the Declaration of Independence. birth of the Amer ican flag, winning of the west, free dom for the slaves. industrial growth of the nation and America and the World war.
 The Boy Scouts of America have volunteered personally to invite new citizens to be guests of the commu- nifty.
 Speeches should be directed to practical ends, the league believes. tending to hasten the speaking of English and the reading of American newspapers. and to encourage the na- tive born to show real neighborli- ness by ceasing the use of offensive nicknames.
 Distribution of flags and a message from the President. with proclania- 1 tions by governors and mayors also were urged, with the suggestion that motion pictures depicting the prog ress of American democracy and slides containing quotations from the addresses of famous Americans be introduced.

 MUCH MACHINERY
Stream of Supplies Coming Into Country Is Inade-
 quate, SovietS Say

Moscow, June 10.-Russia needs a vast amount of machinery and other material for the upbuilding of her industries. but instead of flood, the incoming streams of supplies are tiny and hardly make any impression on the actual needs of the country. Had the Genoa conference Agreed upon an international loan to help Russia, conditions in this regard might be much more favorable today. it is pointed out, but as it is. soviet of ficials are saying: "A little water Is welcome in desert"
 Up to the present time the German Russian agreement signed at Genoa has not been followed by any great economic cooperation between the two countries, nevertheless German saiesmen, German experts and Ger man scouts for German capitalists are arriving In Moscow in constantly increasing numbers. Every train from Riga brings dozens of them and they are scattering to the jour corners of Russia to buy. or sell, or build. or just look around. Some of them return to Germany disgusted with business chances Others stay and do business.
 Money in Rubles
 Foreign money is coming into Russia in driblets, and foreign indus triaiists. particularly German, are accepting concessions withNa measure of control by the bolshevik govern ment.
 Herr F. Shottack. charge d'affairs of the German mission at Petrograd. has announced in the Investia that a Russo German chamber of com merce is to be- organized at Petro- grad.

 This feeling of Herr Shottack Is shared by many soviet officials with whom the correspondent has talked. They never had much hope. after

AMERICAN BANDIT
 KILLED IN MEXICO
Had Gathered Band of Out laws About Him-ReWard
 for Capture

Mexico City, June 10.-A bandit, who, for more than three years, has led a rowing band of marauders through the Tampico oil fields. was killed the other day by one of his own countrymen who refused to be- lieve that Monte Michaels. six-shooter in hand, was on a friendly mission when he attempted forced entrance to the headquarters of a petroleum camp. Monte, hard-hitting and straight shooting American. came to Tampieo several years ago, ostensi- ply to work in the oil fields. He tired of drilling and pumping and started out to gather some of the plentiful gold by means of the fa- miliar "stick-up" system. He pros- pered and he gathered followers
 Two years ago a price was set on Monte's head by i, the International Petroleum company-s10000 gold for him, dead or alive. Monte answered the challenge by holding up a. pas senger train at Chorreras, Tamauli- pas. and bagging enough money to keep him and his followers for months. Other charges of banditry have been made against Monte, but no one cared to match him in gum play to gain the reward.
 Several days ago, however, Monte entered an International Petroleum company camp near Zacamixtle and finding the door of the headquarters office barred against him, he drew his gun and demanded admission. An American (name not given) quietly opened a side window and filled Monte full of lead.
