"The Board of Regents undoubtedly
has the power to act If charges are

though, would be to have the Legisla-
ture provide for changes in the law
which would give us financial indepen-

Gov. Iiller was pleased with the elec-

"If anything / said contributed to the

The Governor was asked to answer

II guess the result speaks for itself,
the Governor said.

WOULD ERADICATE EVILS

Major-Gen. John F. ORyan and
Leroy T. Hardness, two of the three
members of the State Transit Commits
sion, took an active part last evening in
the speaking campaign which the COM
mission has inaugurated to educate the
people to the Importance of the plan of
railway reorganization and the dangers
OF the obstructive attitude maintained
by the Board of Estimate in face of the
city's growing subway needs.
Gen. ORyan had a potential audience
of about 5000 persons, for he spoke his
address into a central broadcasting sta
ton of the wireless telephone service in
Newark. Any or all of the 76 900 persons
VINO have an installation properly at
tuned to this daily service could listen
In at will. Among those who did so
were many wounded and invalided
veterans In the Fox Hills and other
Government hospitals.
Commissioner Hardness addressed the
Lawyers Club in the Crescent Athletic
Club, Brooklyn. In answer to the ques-
ton, What is the matter with transit
in New York city," Mr.. Harkness said:
Transit Is the football of politics In
its present state and with the continual
Inconvenience and ofttimes actual suf-
fering occasioned the public, II fur
nishes ready-to-hand issue for the
demagogue. 1t Is easy to indulge in
criticism and attack with the knowledge
that success in elections often goes not
to those who offer possible measures of
constructive relief, but to those who
damn railroad interests the loudest; and
then, after election, alibi their own
shortcomings by stirring up further re-
sentiment.

An Asset for Politicians.

ut Is no more than the literal truth
to say that there Is breed of politi-
clans in both political parties that have
not desired to see the transit situation
settled-the continuance of the present
unsettled condition is too much of an
asset.
But why is transit football of poll
tics? 1t goes back of the deprecated
and lapidated service. AS constituted
at present. transit is based upon pri-
marily. the earning of profit and. sec
ondarily and incidentally. giving ade-
quate service If sufficient funds are left
over.

ton, after taking office last year, the

solution must proceed from funda-

Never Stirred Any Scandal;
Gave Flowers to Hospitals

But there was never a word of scandal.
Little Zerline was very good and sent the
flowers to hospitals and had little habit
Of having street gamins, gathered up by
her chauffeur, in to breakfast every morn
ing. 1t was lunch for the gamins, of course,
for Zerline considers other folks breakfast
time the middle of the night.
Certainly Mile. Zerline had father and
mother and a place to be born and
brought up in, but no one knows much
about these incidents of her past. So far
as she Is concerned the history of the
world began when the good people of
Amsterdam discovered they could go to

beauties and is lavish in her devotion
Since Gaby Desys there has been no one
in whose honor France is so unanimous
as Mile. Houet. She was beauty, Of

But Paris loves the dramatic, and Mile.
Houet was not considered as having been
properly presented to the toasters Of the
town until at the opening Of the new Cafe
Rotonde, the newest shrine Of all that Is

sented by the management as the honored

Occasionally she still appears at the the

is a time consuming business. Virtually

Few Attract Any Attention
Where So Many Are Beautiful

To merely say that the "battle"-for in
deed It is a battle-is staged at Monte
Carlo is to tell half the story in few
words. One may visit Monte Carlo and
spend a month and go away and not a soul
in the entire principality will know of the
incident unless one makes himself noticed
by the number of gold pieces he distributes
while there.
OF beautiful women there are thousands
every woman Is beautiful in this roman
tic setting, for the lights In the Casino
and the shadows along the beach seem to
be arranged to serve as punctuations OF
feminine allurements.
To attract attention, therefore, means
that whoever has been so fortunate also
has been liberal with largess, extravagant
in expenditures and of personality that
stands out in relief against multitude OF
personalities each one unique. So when
Monte Carlo notices a group OF beautiful
women-ah Indeed they must be charm
ing, houris worthy of a Caliph, owned TO
the distraction of all who covet their mo-
distes, with Jewels that would arouse the
envy of Maharanee and with phalanxes
of admirers that remind Of ancient Queens
and their troubadours. To a woman to be
merely good to look upon is to be common
place and Of the unattended majority at
Monte Carlo.
So half the story Is told when 1t is said
that bevy of pretty ladies have attracted
attention at this Mecca of adventurers by
The New York herald., 1922-02-26

LTHOUGH most considerable part
~ of Europe is devoting its attention
these days to the rapidly changing
political developments, there is very sub
stantial part that believes the most i'm
portant drama now playing on the Cont
mental stage is the battle Of famous beau
ties at Monte Carlo for whatever sort of
throne it is that is reserved for 'the most
beautiful woman in the world
To those who are interested in this
rather spectacular contest of young women,
who are undeniably prepossessing and each
of whom seems to have at her command
unlimited money and huge jewel chests,
nothing else that is transpiring in an 9TH
erwise troubled world is of the least i'm
portance.
Japan may swallow China or supply
keen suspense while ever at the point Of
seeming to do so; Russia may be starving
or about to spread it's Bolshevism over all
the East Italy and France may be at log
gerheads over Turkey and England may
have its problem of safely marrying Mary
and setting her up at housekeeping on her
own account-but all these things are mere
idle incidents as compared to the problem
Which one of the international beauties will

all and the most popular, and having won
the crown, how will the successful candi-
date wear It?
The New York herald., 1922-02-26

their efforts to win the crown that beauty
wears on the Continent. The other half of
the story has to do with who they are
and why. And perhaps passing notice Of
the oddness in situation that presents a
rivalry of professional beauties and the
homage that is paid them by peoples of all
nations as almost the first tangible evil
dence that the war is over and that the ma
tions so recently cutting each others
throats are ready again to be neighbors
and enjoy social communion with one an
other.
For example: Political France still looks
upon political Germany as potentially
dangerous enemy. They are not at war
haven't been for several years now--still
yet come around to the state Of mind which
permits the one to run in upon the other
and borrow the lawn mower to cut the
front yard grass. The German in Paris
and the Frenchman in Berlin walk about
gingerly still, and look around every time
there is a noise behind them.
Would Like Things Better.
So Meet on Neutral Ground
They'd like to have things different.
The peace treaty Is signed and they'd like
to have it effective-socially, anyway,
since they really are neighbors, living in
the same block, as it were. So they
are rather glad that down by the
sea at Monte Carlo, neutral ground, the
French visitors to the principality ac-
knowledge that Fraulein Elisabeth Won
Endert is the second most beautiful
woman in the world - Mademoiselle
Yvonne Houet of Paris being her only
superior; and that the rich Germans who
are spending this season enjoying the
excitement at the Casino are all ready to
agree that the mistake of the French Is
only slight one transposition of names
as IL were-that it is Mademoiselle Houet
who is the second most beautiful feminine
thing in the world; out-beautied only by
their own Fraulein Won Endert.
That they can so nearly agree and be
patient with one another's pretensions
without longing for Foch or Hindenburg
is the surest sign Europe has detected
that matters international are on the way
to becoming "as they were."
Besides these two claimants to the
romantic throne of beauty there are many
others. What the psychological influence
may be that has brought such a situation
about one cannot determine, but the fact
remains that without prearrangement
without settled design, each principal
nation of Europe has entered candidate
in this interesting contest. 1t is as II
the nations we're fighting the war all over
again, only this time with feminine am
munition and good humor as their
strategy.
There is, for example, Nine. Steffy VI.
berty, who represents Austria. She is a
typical viennese, the very spirit of those
enhancing waltzes which haunt our
memories as souvenirs of the Vienna of
The New York herald., 1922-02-26
Two Other Noted Women
Share Interest of Visitors

There are still two other claimants to
the beauty crown. These are claimants
who are doubly interesting. They do not
fling jewels about or startle with their
newest gowns or with their extravaganza.
They have won a tacit understanding that
they must be looked upon closely by any
judges at a beauty coronation by the very
magnetism of their marvellous charm.
One OF these is Nine. Strauss. wife of the
opera writing Monsieur oscar. The other
also Is the wife of famous mime
Ferraris, whose husband is declared by
some TO be Europes most celebrated
artist.
Both are young and very stunning. Both
are vivacious and queens OF little coterie
OF devoted admirers. And the charm Of
both is augmented by that ineffable, in
tangible genteness Of the matron from
whose lips one unconsciously expects the
sentiment:
