IRON STARTS HOSPITAL FIRE.

An overheated electric iron started q
blaze last night in the dormitories on
the top floor Of the Lenox Hill Hospital,
East Seventy-seventh street, which was
extinguished quickly and did little dam
age. The firemen worked SO quietly that
none of the patients on the lower floors
of the hospital knew of the fire.

University Athletics
\ UNIVERSITY athletics are

~ a perennial center or con-
troN ersy among those in
terested in education. Every
one comedies the right of ath-
letics to occupy an important
place among undergra duate ac-
tivities; the difficulty is to keep
them in their proper relation
ship to other activities.
! enjoy watching our intercol-
1egiate contests in football, base
ball, basketball, and track. I
have shared with our students
the pride of victory and the re-
gret of defeat.
Undergraduate athletics, as l
see them, are for the under
graduate a healthy and valuable
recreation; for the graduate a
means of maintaining his con-
nection with his Alma Mater;
for the University as a whole a
means of coming in closer con-
tact with other institutions on
the basis of friendly rivalry.
There is always a danger, of
course, that the students mind
may be occupied by play activi-
ties to the detriment Of his
scholarship; that the fine loyal
ty of the Alumni may degener-
ate into barren demand for
victories; that contests be-
tween rival institutions may
breed the bitterness of hostility
instead of the friendship cf
better understanding.
These dangers can be avoided !.
The fact must be borne in mind
that public intercollegiate con-
tests are only a means to an
end and not an end in themselves.
General undergraduate participa-
ton is the goal to strive for and
not the super-development of a
mere handful of men. Intercol-
legiatc contests when viewed in
the right perspective are a slim
ulus to the athletic participation
of every student.
After all, the University has
the responsibility of providing
opportunity and methods where
by every student may attain
not only the physical, but also
the mental and moral develop
nent which athletics can con-
Uib ute.
This means not three or four
tennis courts for thousands of
undergraduates, but dozens of
them; not a remodelled barn for
a gymnasium, but a large modern
structure with space for every
form of worth while physical
training. as well as playground
facilities for all students.
I am heartily glad that Columbia
is to have the great athletic
equipment for which she has
waited long and patiently.
1t is my hope that within the
next few years all these facili-
ties which New York Univer-
sity SO urgently needs may be
provided, so that no student
may be denied the opportunity
for the proper schooling of his
body, as well as his mind.

Much Gathered in Taxes.

The income incident to the enforce
ment Of the prohibition law is not con-
fined to fines and the proceeds OF
seizures. The Prohibition Unit has
another table showing the double

s.57s.ll7.o7

on lists .$53.29e.ssS.S 81
The statement Is made that the
amount collected during the year on
account Of taxes assessed for viola
tions Of the national prohibition act"
Is only s2,152.3s7.
Prohibition enforcement IN New
York State cost about s625. 900 In 1921.
This was one-twelfth Of the cost for
the entire country. Salaries formed
the largest item. They amounted to
approximately 100000. The rental of
storage warehouses for the housing of
seized liquor required 100000 more.
The authorities hope to get permission
to sell enough seized liquor to balance
the rental cost.
According to the summary made
public few days ago by John 8. Par
sons, chief enforcement ofilcer for New
York State. the total value Of liquor
seizures last year In the State was
s1,049,l67. Taxes and penalties were
reported for assessment to the amount
Of s5,735,152, of which the Govern
ment has SO far collected $125,233.
Having called attention to the fact
that State expenditures for enforce
ment must be heavy Il should also
be said that there will be offsetting
figures OF fines levied in the city and
State courts and also an income to
state governments from seizures. The
striking Of balance at this time is
out of the question. and to attempt 1t
would be unfair; too many important
factors are undetermined, too much
yet remains in the experimental stage.
Perhaps the same might be said as
to the prohibition situation as
whole

Before sunrise Queen RiGEa wAs up
and on her face she rubbed the magic
LIQUID and instantly all the lines and
signs OF old age that were creeping
around her face disappeared and she
was as young and beautiful as any
King would wish his Queen 10 he.
The King was charmed with her
when he met her. for Queen Riga
could be sweet and pleasant when she
chose 10 be. and she put forth all her
charms Ia win the favor OF the King.
The wedding day was set for a week
from the time the supposed Princess
arrived at. the Palace. for the King
wished IL 10 be the most wonderful
wedding ever heard Of and many
things had to be done for such grand
event.
one day before the wedding when
the King was walking with hts future
bride he asked her 10 wear the neck
lace he had sent her with the cats
eye stone IN the pendant.

PRINCESS RADJAH, NATIVE
 EGYPTIAN DANCER-LYRIC
By Estclle Beathea MarIowe

An unusual feature of the Lyric show this week is the appearance of Princess Radjah, native Egyptian of all the grace and dark beauty of her race. in the headline act. Dance of Cleopatra" This is a remarkable dancing act, based on the tragedy of the beautiful and immortal Queen. The act will tell a story in dance depicting the arrival of the news of the death of Mark Anthony and the wild, wierd dance of Cleopatra on hearing the tidings.
 A heated family argument Is the subject for much hearty and laugh provoking nut comedy in the act "Dementus Americanus," offered by Kuhn and Dreis. These two are real eccentric comedians of high type in the nut comedy line.
 Other acts on the bill are Bounce Inn" in which bouncing comedy is featured; blackface act presented by Jack Goldie; "A Spasm of Joy,' and Doris Duncan's Musical Pre- scription,' which is a clever act of song and bits of talk Aesop's Fables, Pathe News and Topics of the Day are screen attractions.
