The gradual decline in the startling
character of the examples described
here seems to do much toward estab-
fishing the truth of the managers
theory. The more extravagant the
invention the more it will interest
the world at which it is aimed. The
current publication of prima donna's
memoirs has recently emphasized the
vitality which certain inventions OF
the press agent may retain. Here are
recited as a part of her experiences
in this country some of the oldest
anecdotes known to the profession of
publicity. Yet they sound rather
fresh even to the knowing, so great is
the strength of good tale. The good
one of course is of the same extrava-

kind in which Mr.. FRoHMAN had so
much confidence.

The Yankees May Hope.

The admirers of the Giants are
doubtless congratulating themselves
that two of the necessary four games
are already in hand. To the unhappy
followers of Babe RUTH and his little
companions let us offer the consola-
tions of hope. Last year in the world
series the Yankees won the first two
games and then tottered to their fall.
1t is no certainty that the Giants
are not going to copy them exactly.
There are so many pitfalls in the
path of pride. Suppose the great
strategist, Mr.. McGRAw, should stop
thinking; or, even worse, suppose one
of the Giants should start thinking
without Mr.. McGRAw's permission. 1t
is hard to say what might not
happen.

Safety Week.

Safety Week, beginning Sunday, is
intended to demonstrate that a large
part of the deaths which are annu-
ally listed as deaths due to accident
are really due to carelessness.
The Safety Institute of America,
which is responsible for Safety Week,
hopes its campaign will result in
many fewer deaths from accident be-
ing recorded for next week than for
the corresponding week last year. II
that hope is realized the campaign
will probably gather enough momen-
tum to make its effect lasting.
During 1921 approximately ten per-
sons a day were accidentally killed
in New York city. or the total Of
S,4S3. nearly one-third, 1.0S1, we're
killed in the streets. Nearly one-third
of all those killed were children uns
der 10 years of age. That Is, there
was an average of three children
killed each day in New York city
last year.
Other cities have faced a situation
which was relatively just as dis
tressing as this one, and by cam
paigns of education they have sue
ceeded in reducing the number of
deaths. In st. Louis the accidental
deaths Of school children were cut
from 40 in a year to rs, and in De-
troit from SO to 30. This reduction
was accomplished in two years
largely by means of safety instruc-
tion given in the schools.
Safety Week in New York will en-
phasize tho need Of caution on the
part of school children. A grown man
who crosses in the middle of the
block and neglects TO look TO both
sides of him will probably go on
crossing the street that way until an
automobile truck hits him or taxi
cab driver picks him off, no matter
how many safety weeksarc held.

Copeland Hits Wool Wolves.

The Democratic candidate for
United States Senator, DR.. COPELAND,
tackled the tariff in his speech of
Thursday night and denounced the

guage. Yesterday, however, he went
after them in a more telling way.

Doctor declared in his daily address

Theater Myths.

1t was a theory of the late CHARLES
FRoHMAN that theater myth created
in the interest OF publicity was valu-
able just in proportion to its falsity.
In other words, the greater the fic-
tion the greater its power over the
minds of the simple folk it was in
tended to affect. So the agent of
publicity who had the most unre-
strained imagination was, in the
opinion of this famous entrepreneur,
the most capable.
or course invention has borne fruit
often since the days of the Cardiff
giant. There are some historic fables
connected with the fame Of FgouMAN
which survived with the tenacity of
gospel truth. How many years did il
take for the solemn proclamation that
SARAH BERNHkRDT was to act Romeo
to the Juliet of MAUDE ADAMS to lose
its force? That bit of audacious men
dacity survived through many the
atrical campaigns undertaken on be-
half OF one artist or the other. The
Towering imagination that made Nine.
BERNHARDT act in tent owing to the
refusal of the theatrical syndicate to
give her theater in Texas is still
honored by the occasional repetition
OF the yarn. Yet the famous French
woman never did anything of the
kind, in spite of such corroborative
evidence as the widely distributed pic
lures of the very canvas under which
this unprecedented artistic event"
took place.
Certainly every theater year for a
decade opened with the positive as
surance that WILLIAM GILLETTE was
at last to play Hamlet Scenery had
been ordered. Actors were under
contract. Other inventions less spec
tacular in their appeal to the public
seemed to prove the managers the
ory that the more improbable the
more easily accepted these hctional

Weather Worries.

The weather experts are perturbed
about the elements. These aren't act
ing right, and the winds particularly
have been shirking. During Sep
tember, the month of storms on the
great lakes, there was only one
storm. All over the country the air
has been sluggish, and even the West
Indies, which maintain high aver
age production of autumnal hurri-
canes, have been strangely inactive.
The effect of this prevailing calm
has been that the moisture bearing
air has not been able to circulate
about the country in its customary
manner. The long drought has been
a boon to the late vacationist, but it
has played havoc with the forests
and in some pafts of the country
with the water supply.
But there are rays of hope which
the meteorologists have not men
toned. North dnd South and East
and West the air will soon be
blasted out from the brass throats
of countless campalgners. And any
day at all here in New York the
mighty Babe may swing hard enough
to make it the day of the Big Wind

FRENCH SALES TAX
DECLARED A FAILURE
Finance Minister Proposes to
Change Method of Paying.

Special Cable to THE New YORK HERALD.
COPYRIGHT, 1929, by THE New YORK HERALD.
New York Herald Bureau.
Paris, Oct. 9.
The failure of the sales tax in It's
present form was virtually admitted
yesterday in a speech made by Charles
de Lasteyrie, Minister of Finance, before
the Paris Chamber of Commerce The
Finance Minister, after reciting the fig
ures used at the Genoa conference to
show Frances economies in the army
and navy, declared that it was his in
tention to present two bills to the Cham
ber the first of which will enable mer-
chants to pay the sales tax In lump
sum to be fixed according to the average
OF the business done instead of varying
with the monthly sales. This. NJ de
Lasteyrie believes, will relieve small
merchants of what is often heavy bur-
den and will place the bulk of the sales
tax on big business.
Another bill provides for the revision
of the whole system of public account
ing which will permit the absorption of
scores OF subdepartments at a great saw
ing to the State. These improvements.
the Finance Minister predicted. will en-
able France inside of two or three years
to collect enough taxes to meet her run
ming expenses and start to pay off her
Indebtedness.
But for the present it will be neces-
sary by interior loans to find 1000, ,oo0.-
00C francs to cover the deficit. The
deficit. NJ de Lasteyrie said. represents
within few hundred thousand francs
the annual interest on sums we have
been forced to advance to the devas-
tated regions on Germany's behalf"

To THE NEW York HERALD: For the

as volunteer police worked side by side

should be free from worry over the
provision for the physical comfort OF
their families.
The pay for their services to the city

it was afterward recaptured for the
Turks from the Bulgars by ENvER
Pasha.
The advance of the Greeks into
eastern Thrace and the prospects of
being forced to fight for Adrianople,
a Mohammedan holy city and the
burial place of many of the early
Sultans of European Turkey, are the
reasons which the Turks now give
for their insistence upon occupying
the Thracian territory. The difficulty
of holding KEMAL's army at the
straits grows with each hour of de-
lay in the Mudania conference. AT
the same time the danger increases
OF clash on the Thracian plains
which will so seriously embroil Eu-
rope as to make this conference use

Highway Transportation.
Increases With the Building OF Good
Roads.

From Department Of Agriculture Bulletin
That the business of the nation Is turn
ing more and more to highway trans
portation is indicated by statistics on
motor vehicle registration as OF July J.,
compiled by the Bureau of Public Roads
of the United States Department of
Agriculture. Registration of passenger
cars, taxis. buses and motor trucks
totaled 10,620,471 on this date, an in
crease of 1919, which is a healthy
growth, as the first half of the year
is the off season for registration of
new vehicles.
The surprising fact, however. is that
of the 157.17i increase in registration
motor trosks constituted 116,701, against
5000 passenger cars and 5,443 taxis
and buses. This means an increase of
over 16 per cent, of the number of motor
trucks at the beginning of the year.
Figures are not available to show what
part of the increase of 5,443. or nearly
IL per cent, in the taxi and bus regis
traton Is due to the increase in the
number of buses traversing rural and
suburban routes. but it is very probable
that considerable part Of the Increase
is due to the development of this new
form of transportation.
1t has been frequently said that the
traffic is always ready and waiting when
good roads are built, and that the COM
mercial vehicle as class is more ilandi-
capped by lack of good roads than the
pleasure vehicle The increase in the
r. gistration of commercial vehicles,
coupled with the present activity in
highway construction. seems to bear out
this statement in the opinion of depart
ment officials.
The table of statistics issued by the
bureau shows registration OF 9.467,S74
private cars. $500 taxls and buses. and
1,O96,605 motor trucks, making total
of 10,620.471. Motorcycles are not in
cluded. t.,-.e being 1924, against 1885,

Just a Bid for Wet Votes.
The Democratic Platforms Refer
ence to the VOlstead Law.

To THE NEW YORK HERALD: The de-
mand Of the Democratic State conven-
ton that the Congress enact such
modification Of the Volstead act as shall
legalize. subject to the approval of the
State of New York, the use Of beer and
light wines under such careful restric.
tions as were imposed by the law
passed in New York in 1920" is a bid
for the votes Of the thoughtless, not for
the solution of any problem.
The Eighteenth Amendment reads
that "the manufacture. sale or trans
portation Of intoxicating liquors within
the importation thereof into, or the ex-
portation thereof from the United States
and all territory subject to the jurisdic-
tion thereof for beverage purposes is
hereby prohibited" 1t is likewise pro-
vided. not that the Congress or the
State Legislatures shall have power 10
deal with the subject of the manufac-
ture and sale of intoxicating liquors
but that "the Congress and the several
States shall have concurrent power to
enforce this article by appropriate leg
islation."
ment has taken the police power away
from the states in so far as IL relates
to intoxicating liquors. and has no,
vested it anywhere else. The only
power of legislation in this regard is tc
enforce this article by appropriate leg.
islatlon" to enforce prohibition. not to
legalize the .use of beer and light
wines"
Article VI. Section 2. OF the Consti.
tuition provides that this Constitution
and the laws of the United States which
shall be made in pursuance thereof
shall be the supreme law Of the land
and the Judges in every state shall be
bound thereby. anything in the Con

The Eighteenth Amendment is subject
to this clause and the Congress has nc

the manufacture or sale of intoxicating

as the state legislatures, and until thu

Amendment ,s being contrary to th'
true spirit OF the Constitution there
can he no legal manufacture or sale

The Democratic candidate for Gov
ernor. AL SMITH, hardly does him.
self justice when he declares that
Governor MILLEE's economies in re-
organization represent complicated
trick bookkeeping.
1t is the general impression, gath
cred as Governor MILLER went along
at Albany, that his reforms were gen
uine and that he was giving to the
people of New York an example OF
economy such as it had never seen
before.
Mr.. SMITHS endeavor to convince
the public that he was more eco
nomical Governor than Judge MILLEH
will have to be backed up by better
facts and figures than he has offered
if he wishes public support.
The official figures indicate that
the expenses of the State Govern
ment rose rapidly in Governor
SMITHS term and that Governor
MILLER checked the rise in his first
year and reduced the budget in his
second year.
THE New YORK HERALD is not con-
vinced to the contrary by any figures
offered by Mr. SMITH, although it is
open to conviction by detailed and
incontrovertible facts.
