MUSIC WEEK PROCLAMATION.
Mayor Sets Aside April 80 to May
for Festival.

Mayor Hyian yesterday issued a proc
lamation declaring that 'the concentra-
ton OF public attention on music
throughout a week specifically set apart
for that purpose should help to arouse
general interest in the cultural effects
and good influences of music upon the
ives OF all the people," anc setting
aside the period from April 30 to May .
TO be observed throughout the city as
New York's third annual music week.
The proclamation says In part.
This Is very commendable object,
for music is too vital force to be alb
sorbed by only portion of our popu-
lation. We hold that music should be
at the disposal of all the people and
that musical education should be made
possible for all those who desire 1t.
In the city of New York, which is
the great melting pot OF the nation,
there is no more wholesome influence
or one tending more TO the creation OF
social harmony which can be applied
SO effectively with the other elements
producing united and upright citizen
ship as that most universal OF al the
arts-music."

Col,quering the Hookworm.

Ever since the United States De
partment of Agriculture discovered
that carbon tetrachloride is effective
in ridding beasts of hookworm ex
periments have been in progress to
disclose the effect Of the chemical
on human beings infected by this
parasite. These experiments have
reached stage at which the Depart
ment feels justified in announcing
that the remedy for the hookworm
disease in man is in hand. II this
is verified cure for one Of the worst
and mos. costly scourges of humanity
has been found.
A late estimate shows that more
than 20,O00,000 Americans live in the
hookworm infected areas OF the
United States, while in forty-six for.
eign countries having 92O,000,00O in.
habitants the disease is widespread
In the southern two-thirds Of China
and in India from so per cent. to 80
per cent. of the population is An
fected. Nine out of ten Ceylonese
suffer from the disease.
Modern sanitation has been largely
depended on to protect human be-
ings from the hoolworm. Carbon
tetrachloride has been used expert
mentally on men in many parts OF
the world. Announcement was re
Gently made in London that in the
Fiji Islands 1t had satisfactory re-
suits, SO per cent. of the parasites
being eradicated by one dose of the
chemical. No bad results were pro-
duced on the patients. The Depart
ment of Agriculture says.
"The absence of harmful effects
on the patient in the tests so far
is very encouraging, as the danger
attendant on the employment of the
drugs most used at present consti-
tutes serious handicap to the work
of hookworm eradication.
1.-THE new treatment is also ex-
tremely cheap, the chemical being
one that is commonly used for clean
ing clothing"
The carbon tetrachloride treat.
ment is now being tried out in this
country, in India, Ceylon, Dutcl,
Guiana and Brazil. If the results
obtained confirm those already re
corded the world will have cure
for terrible affection.

Whisky for the Aged.
Ii Hospitals May Buy Liquor Why
Not Other Institutions!

To THE NEW York HERALD: one OF
the few sensible things about the en-
forcement Of the volstead act is that
Il permits the sale of confiscated liquor
to hospitals at a reduced price. This
is good in many ways. but why contine
1t to the hospitals when there are many
other equally meritorious applicants that
cannot get II?
Take, for instance, the Jewish Hos
pital. at the corner of Prospect place
and Classon avenue, Brooklyn. On the
next block stands that worthy institu-
tion the Brooklyn Home for Aged Men
and Women. while on the corner OF
Park place is the Faith Home for Incur
ables. another worthy institution, in no
manner sectarian.
In the Home for Aged are persons
who greatly need this liquor for medic
inal purposes only. Some of these are
men who in their prime were noted as
professionals in their respective lines
and captains of industry who did much
to build up the good reputation OF
Brooklyn. but who met misfortune in
their old age.
Some of these old men know of the
underground passage and manage occa-
sionally. and in very precarious man
ner. to get a little whisky but IL the
writer Is rightly informed there has
never been a case of drunkenness in the
home. not even before prohibition, and 1t
mortifies the inmates to think they must
become criminals in the sight OF the law
every time they get a half pint from a
bootlegger
Why not eliminate this Objectionable
feature of the enforcement act and have
a square deal which will meet the
approval and support of every good
citizen? W. III. ODELL. NJ. E.

The Maine to the Scrap Heap.

The battleship Maine was towed to
the junk yard this week, less than
twenty years after she was built And
she had been out of commission for
more than year, an obsolete piece
of machinery.
The Maine was authorized in 1898
and took the name of the battleship
whose tragic fate precipitated the
war with Spain. She was launched
in July, 1901, at Cramps, Philadel-
phia, but was not completed until De-
cember, 1902. There is an aphorism
that all battleships are obsolete as
soon as they are completed, but the
Maine was hailed twenty years ago as
the finest fighting ship afloat.
She cost $5,225 900; battleships OF
to-day are four times as expensive.
Her tonnage was 12,500; the aver
age tonnage of the capital ships of
the United States scrapped at the
Washington Conference was 10000.
The Maine was 394 feet over all: the
Colorado, one of the new ships which
are mot to be scrapped, is 624 feet
long.
SO the giant of twenty years ago
goes to the scrap heap a useless
pygmy. Twenty years hence the Col.
orado will either be pygmy or else
there will be no giants. That is de-
pendent upon whether the spirit of
the Washington Conference survives
the naval holiday of ten years.

Life in Los Angeles.
Crime Rate and Accident Rate Higher
There Than in New York.

To THE NEW YORK HERALD: You of
New York complain Of the prevalence
and increase of crime. Then what will
You say when I tell you that report
recently published in one of our news
papers said that there had been 272
highway robberies in Los Angeles In the
first three months of 1922? And New
York newspaper complained because
there had been ninety-nine holdups re-
ported there in the same period.
At the Los Angeles rate New York
would have had 2.44s holdups, as she
is about nine times the size Of Los
Angeles now. Or at New York's rate
Los Angeles would have had eleven
holdups in three months. and walking
out nights here would be considered one
of the safest of pleasures. which is far
from the case now
IN the same period twenty-eight mur-
ders were reported here. while much
fault was found in New York because
there had been ninety recorded there.
Why, at Los Angeles's rate she would
have had 252 reported.
Burglars entered $40 buildings In Los
Angeles in March, 1922. 1t is incon-
ceivable that 1900 buildings or apart
ments were thus invaded in New York
in the same month.
The 20.2ss arrests reported in Los
Angeles for the first quarter Of 1922
would mean more than 10000 for New
York. I have no New York data re-
garding arrests there.
Now for few official figures for
twelve month periods in the two cities
by way of comparison In Los Angeles
there were 1877 suicides reported. in
New York s17 but at the Los Angeles
rate they would have numbered 1898.
Or. IL Los Angeles had had no worse a
record than New York, she would have
had but ninety suicides instead of 1877.
The sixty-three homicides reported
here for 1921 would mean 567 for New
York, in place of the 29S reported there.
Or, at the New York rate, Los Angeles
would have had only thirty-three instead
of sixty-three murders.
There were 167 Los Angeles automo-
bile killings reported in 1921, an equiva-
lent of 1903 for New York, where they
numbered hardly 900.
Thus, you see, bad as New York's
record is. she is not really the unsafest
OF our cities to live i'm.
In view of Los Angeless record and
the effects Of such advertising her po-
lice chief has forbidden the publishing
hereafter Of any unccnsored crime sta
tistics under heavy penalty.

left to spoil on the ground.
A standard recipe is now en-
ployed and the preserved figs are
being distributed in attractive pack

son and Copiah counties have taken
up the industry with will. Sales
in Copiah county amounted to $2,60e

the Cubans: with pineapples at their

Figs in Mississippi.

The South produces no fruit more
delicious than the fig. It Is a de-
light whether eaten ripe or pre-.
served, and its popularity Is limited
only by the area where it is known.
In the period when the old st.
Charles at New Orleans was consid-
cred the best hotel south OF Cincin-
natl a feature OF breakfasts served
TO strangers from the North in the
summer and early autumn was a
bowl Of purple figs packed in ice.
Eaten with or without cream they
were something to treasure as q gus
tatory remembrance associated with
hotel which was quaint link be-
tween the South of slavery days and
the era that ushered in five cent cot
ton and laced shoes.
Louisiana has long been known for
the quality of its fig preserves, and
one or two packers have laid the
foundations of comfortable fortunes
through the marketing Of the fruit
in glass. The United States Depart.
ment Of Agriculture has undertaken
the task Of teaching the people OF
southwestern Mississippi, region as
well adapted as Louisiana for fig cul.
ture, the Importance Of preserving
their surplus crop.
The shelves Of leading grocers were
found stocked with California figs.
This condition was helpful when the
wives Of Mississippi farmers were
told that figs OF an equally good
grade we're being grown at home and
that a profitable use could be made

Dun's Optimistic

NEW YORK, Jan. 27.-Dun's to- morrow will say:
 Expansion of business still devel- ops slowly. The coldest weather or the winter at different points has augmented demand for heavy weight apparel and fuel, yet there is a dispo- sition now to watch closely for galns which result from other than purely seasonal influences. Basic industries have held most of the advance in re- cent months and in some instances have made further recovery, but rapid revival at manufacturing establish ments remains tho conspicuous ex- ception. Revision of wages or in crease of working hours to effect lower production costs has evidently not been completed and the expecta- ton of railroad freight rate reduc- tions persist, despite the delays ex- perienced. With readjustments still to be accomplished and various un- certainties present. there is not un- naturally cautious and hesitant atti. tude in many quarters and reluct- ance to undertake forward operations of magnitude.

STOCK MARKET

kDy uc AooOGldtcu fTcpoJ
 NEW YORK, Jan. 27.-On much smaller volume of business, today's irregular stock market reflected the mixed views of professional traders and the lack of more than casual pub lie interest.
 Money tendencies, possible dIsrup- tion of impending industrial mergers and further price revision of various commodities, were among the factors which accentuated the market rn- certain ,trend.s
 Call loans were freely made at the initial rate of per cent, put the demand later forced the rate 10 51a, that figure, however, being one-half per cent under the previous days maximum.
 Pools in the steel, motor, chemical, sugar and utility groups engaged in their familiar churnng processes. Gulf States Steel, Studebaker, DavI- son Chemical and Corn Products com prised large part of the days oper- ations, with relatively obscure issues such as American ice, Public Service of New Jersey and Remington Type writer
