Decision Based on Public
Interest and Good of City

I am Of the opinion therefore, upon

appealed from were properly made and
should be affirmed. | do not care how
ever, to place my decision solely upon
the ground stated. In view of the pub

The act bears to the rapid transit situ-
alton IN the City of New York, it seems
TO me the principal objections urge d
purpose OF determining whether the
act, for the reasons urged, Is unconsti-
tutioral.
The Act. in addition to amending the
Public Service Commissions law in GER
ta,n respects, and in addition to vesting
~ the Transit Commission certain reg

Transit Commission, by Article Six and
as grant of q distinct and independent
power, the right and duty to prepare
plan of readjustment for the relief
Of the emergency which is declared to
saist, and which plan shall accomplish
as nearly as may be, three purposes:

improvement and extension Of existing
railroads, so that service thereon may

cable. by the city Of sufficient returns
from the operation of the railroads,

ton OF the state.
"(3) The assuring to the people OF
the city the continued operation Of the
railroads at the present or lowest pos
slble fares consistent with the just VAL

THE method by which these pur-
poses are 70 be accomplished is spe-
aihcally pointed out in Section 10Y, and
no plan is to become effective until that
section has been complied with.

 The message through the Red Cross was that the government would not as sume responsibility for massacres that may occur because of the extreme ten- sion of the population The league of ficials fear that the Turkish authorities and the small forces representing the allies at smyrna will be unable to deal with the excited people
 League officials are considerably pug zled as to what action to take with re- spect to this information. The league has no authority over the Red Cross and has no other nNans of intervening than by setting up aff entirely new organiza- tion. However, in view of complications likely to arise with the Red Crescent, the Turkish relief body, in the work to be done In Minor, 1t is not at all unlikely that the league may be called upon to coordinate the efforts of the Red Cross and the Red Crescent. This would enable the necessary relief work to go on without conflict with the people of Asia-Minor.
 The situation has not been officially considered by the league authorities, but 1t has been frequently discussed by the Earl of Balfour, Lord Robert Cecil, pr. Fridtjof Nansen and the steering com mittee of the assembly.

TRuTH ABoUT SNAKES

One of the best methods for rnak- Ing a lifelong coward out of a youngster for setting him continually il at ease while in. the woods, is that of i'm. planting in his small head the com mon, almost world-old: aversion for all snakes. Teach him to be cautious; extremely -cautious;- but do not let him grow up believing the old fallacy that in killing every snake he sees he is doing humanity a favor Tn the great majority of cases helis doing humanity a serious injury. Snakes do an unlimited mount of good in de- stroying insects and similar pests.
 If you teach a youngster to fear and hate all snakes, he will never get over if. try. as he may after grow ing up. But If he grows up with an intelligent attitude toward snakes, he will come to thank you for it,
 With four exceptions, the dozens of different kinds of {, snakes in this country re absolutely harmless.
