When Giulio Gatti-Casazza's list OF
singers and operas for next season at the
Metropolitan was made public yesterday
there was considerable comment on the
fact that the name of Miss Claudia
Muzio was not In its accustomed place
on the list of sopranos. Inquiry at the
office of the Metropolitan confirmed the
fact that the Italian singer. who has
been a member of the company since
1915, will not return for the next year
of opera.
There were rumors of differences over
salary and rates, but at the Offices of the
company 1t was said there was nothing
to them. 1t was explained that Miss
Muzio welcomed an opportunity to be
absent from the Metropolitan for a year
and that the management expects she
will return to the Metropolitan for the
season of 1923-24. She expects to sing
in italy next winter, as she did before
she came to the Metropolitan. She also
was at Covent Garden, London. before
she was heard at the Metropolitan, and
possibly she may sing in some perform
ances there next season.
She has sung frequently the title role
in aida" and has attained success also
in 'Loreley," as Flora in THE Love OF
Three Kings" in "Tosca," Andrea
Chenier" and "Eugen Onegin."
Miss Muzio sang with the company In
Atlanta this spring. and from there went
to Havana for concert. She had not
returned to New York yesterday, as far
as could be learned, She has given up
her apartment at 2S5 Central Park West.
Miss Muzio's father, who died several
years ago. was once chorus singer at
the Metropolitan, where his daughter
eventually came to be one of the prin-
clpal stars of the company. Later in
life he served as assistant stage man
ager both at the Metropolitan and for
Oscar Hammerstein at the Manhattan.

asserts. instead OF having hard ten

every way. In his opinion it con-
stricts the upper part of the chest,
and owing to increased effort re-
quired in standing erect the up and
down movement of the ribs in respi-
ration is much restricted. Moreover,
he cites vulnerability In physical
combat. When man stands on his
hind legs he takes dangerously
weak tactical position. The vital or
gans are exposed to blows and mis-
siles. Worse than that, the erect po-
sition is productive of knock knees,
which latterly have been injected into
the field of general observation. The
substance of DR.. THoMPsoN's conclu-
sions is that il we are to avoid
bronchitis, abdominal troubles, tuber-
culosis, knock knees and the deuce
knows what other ailments and dis
figurements we must get down on
our hands and feet and navigate that
way. as our forefathers did In the
good old days of the jungle if the
theory Of evolution is sound.
1t is a radical innovation. The
changes in costume involved, to-
gether with the revolutionary re-
vision of social conventions, notably
those ruling the more formal func-
tions, are bewildering. One has only
to imagine what a quadruped recep-
tion to Ambassadors at the White
House would be like, or the appear
ance of Fifth avenue on bright day,
or, say, during an all fours Easter
parade, to get a notion of how far

quences Is DR.. THoMPsoN's prescrip.
ton. And then there is the jazz
dancing. Are we to jazz dance on
all fours? Here indeed is tangled
skein of problems for the terpsicho-
rean professors to unravel! Incl
dentally, we will have to have shoes
on our hands as well as our feet, and
doubling up the shoe bill is serious
proposition these days.
Shall we come to 1t? There is no
knowing. Some of us may. Only a
few years ago numbers Of New York
ers padded around Central Park in
their bare feet in the early morning.
A few years before that thousands OF
seemingly rational American citizens
solemnly sat for hours in the light
that came through blue glass win
dows. We may have sporadic Thomp-
sonian all fours walkers yet. But
that the streets Of New York Will
ever be swarming with Quadrupe-
destrians herded by Quadruped cops
is hardly among the probabilities.

Wilson Foundations Way Out.

The Secretary of the Treasury, Mr..
MELLON, has made it easy for the
Woodrow Wilson Foundation to bring
itself so far within the income tax
law that contributions to 1t can be
deducted from the taxable income Of
the givers. He offers to hold formal
ruling on the matter in abeyance un'
til the Foundation has had an oppor-
tunity to incorporate.
Under the revenue act OF 1921 con-
tributions may be deducted from tax
able income only when they are given
to corporation, community chest,
fund or foundation organized and
operated exclusively for religious,
charitable, scientific, literary or edu-
cational purposes" The Wilson
Foundations purposes. as announced
in its prospectus, are too indefinite
to bring to 1t the. benefits Of the ex'
emption. 1t must do what was done
by the organizers of the Roosevelt
Memorial Association. Commissioner
BLAIR tells what that was:
"In practically Identical circum-
stances the Bureau of Internal Reve-
nue. in 1919 ruled that contributions
to the Roosevelt Memorial Associa-
tion, at that time unincorporated and
composed OF committee constituted
to raise funds. were not deductible.
The association was thereafter in
corporated by an act OF Consress
drafted specifically to meet the re-
quirements of the income tax law,
and the bureau held that the ex-
press Congressional declaration must

A few hours work and the quick
passage OF an act by Congress should

captive TO camp, later broke him to
saddle and kept him for period In
boxstall seclusion in Stockton, grooming
and accentuating the magnificent coat
and flowing name and tail. Then he
took him on the river boat down the
ninety miles or more to San Francisco
,.nd spectacularly rode him UP Market
street.
Practically 1t had cost two fine and
very fleet horses to capture this wild
stallion, and my fathers thought was
to keep the captive as a personal saddle
animal. But an agent for Barnum's saw
the horse, paid a tempting price for him
and took him East. Perhaps there are
still living among THE NEW York HER
AIDS readers some who recall seeing
that stallion. If he survived the trip
and was exhibited. None, think, could
forget such an animal.
My fathers description Of him was:
proud. arch necked. loud snorting.
beautiful animal with coal black coat
and snow white name and tail of re-
markable length. Personally I should
like to learn OF the ultimate fate Of that
animal.
Doubtless this one true story Of a
great wild stallion, possibly the colt OF
some marc of quality lured away when
In foal and not actually an original wild
horse. was the foundation for Rufus
Steele's Saturday Evening Post story a
few years ago OF somewhat similar
wild horse supposed to have been cap
tured many years later In Nevada. This
one fact may have prompted also the
recently filmed story of "WildHre" by
Zane Grey. ARCHIE RICE.

Jail for Forest Firebugs.

The spring Of 1922 opens with a
depressing record of forest fires. In
New York State, in New England,
Pennsylvania, New Jersey and Mary
land thousands Of acres have been
burned over. Direct losses running
far into the millions of dollars have
been incurred, and the indirect losses,
including destruction Of young trees
of high potential future value, are
beyond computation.
A disheartening feature Of this de-
struction is that much of it occurred
in States where forest fire protec-
tion was supposed to be most eff
cient. This is particularly true of
the ruin wrought in Pennsylvania.
In that State system Of steel watch
towers extending over the greater
part of it's forested area and well
organized force for forest fire fight
ing have produced an exceptional
sense of security. Yet in Pennsylva-
MIA fifty-five forest fires were burning
at one time few weeks ago. In
New Jersey and Massachusetts also
the destruction has been heavy,
although precautions in both States
we're thought to be more than ordi-
narily thorough.
Abnormally dry weather during
April was responsible for much of the
loss in New York, New Jersey and
Pennsylvania. In New England this
cause was reinforced by the large
number of fallen trees left in the
wake of the severe sleet storms OF
last year. Conditions were ripe for
just such outbreaks of forest fires as
occurred. 1t was a situation that de-
manded extra precautions and extra
vigilance on the part OF forest ward
ems. Perhaps both were exercised.
But without active cooperation on the
part of the public nothing short of
an impossibly large army OF forest
protectors will avert outbreaks OF
fire.
The Federal and State Govern
ments and many private agencies
have spent much time and effort in
an attempt to educate the public to
use caution with fire in the woods.
The result has not been satisfactory.
Campers and smokers have failed to
mend their ways. Criminal action
has been too sparingly applied to
offenders who imperil the forests.
Until the person who through care
lessness or cussedness starts forest
fire learns that he is in dire peril OF
drastic punishment there is slight
hope Of reform in that quarter.
In the last five years there have
been 100000 forest fires in the United
States. The territory burned over
was 56,4SS,000 acres, an area larger
than that included in the States of
Pennsylvania and Ohio. The value
of the property and timber destroyed
was ss5, 900. The American For
estry Association estimates that fully
80 per cent. Of this tremendous loss
was due to preventable causes. and a
large part of It to criminal careless
ness. New England is now awaken
ing to a recognition of this fact.
Future offenders in that region run
imminent risk of unpleasant days in
court.
