Drivers Are Blamed.
Accidents to Pedestrians Ascribed TO
Failure to Slow Down.

To THE NEW York HERALD: 1t seems
to me that the majority of accidents
to the hooters are due to the fact that
drivers of cars. be they shooters or own
ers. never slow down for pedestrians,
taking 1t for granted they will run, jump
or get run down, this occurring more
particularly at crossings where nc
traffic policeman is stationed.
Age, confusion or other causes some
times make it impossible for the hoofer
to make quicker progress, and so 1t is
case of either "The Quick or the
Dead" so to speak. Drivers make
quick, short turns around corners, fall
ing to give notice; this should not be
allowed.
While the authorities are devising
plans for greater safety to the hoofer
why not assure shooters that 1t will be
considered nothing against them IL they
will slow down when occasion demands? !?

GRAND JURY REPORTS
FRAUD IN BOSCH SALE
Finding on Transfer of Mag.
neto Company by Palmer.

WASHINGTON. Nov. 17.-Fr'rther In
vestigation will be made of the sale by
a former alien property custodian of
the assets of the old Bosch Magnetic
Company to an American firm of the
Same name, 1t was stated officially to-
day after the filing of Federal Grand
Jury report declaring that evidence Of a
conspiracy had been found in the trans
action.
The Grand Jury reported that on ad-
vice of counsel for the Government the
local inquiry had been ended, since there
was nothing to indicate the alleged overt
act had been consummated in the Dis
trict of Columbia.
Dissolution of the American Bosch
Magnetic Company purchaser of the
patents and other assets of the original
corporation, was sought by Albert Klein,
a stockholder. In suit flied at White

asserted the price accepted by Mr..
Palmer for the Bosch assets was less

AL Smiths Good Talk.

Governor SMITH talked hard
facts to the Chamber of Commerce at
its annual dinner, on Thursday eve
ming, and talked them well. He
wants and demands the help OF New
York business men when he gets to
Albany because important things
need to be done that Governor
alone cannot do and a State Govern
meut alone cannot do.
The barge canal has been COM
pleted by the State at cost of $751;
100000; the canal terminals are
ready, the whole system is in condi-
tion to do what it was planned and
built to do But the State cannot
give business to the barge canal, it
cannot supply the necessary barges
for transporting the business. Pri-
vate enterprise must provide the busi-
ness the canal needs, it must provide
the barges required to handle the
business. And the Governor-elect
puts it up to the members of the
Chamber Of Commerce and other
commercial organizations and to men
of affairs to build the boats and give
them the traffic.
Again, the Port Authority plan has
been worked out as a principle and a
proposal. But only cooperation of
the trunk line railroads can make
the Port Authority count for any
thing practical and actual. And as
a matter of fact, the Governor-elect
declares, the railroads with few ex-
ceptiops are doing nothing to carry
out their part-the essential part
of the great interstate project to
place our harbor's freight handling
facilities, now fifty years behind the
times, among the first in the world.
And the Governor-elect puts it up to
the business interests of New York
to get action by the railroads TO
make the Port Authority a real
freight distributing agency instead of
a dream.
When Governor-elect SMITH, call
ing a spade a spade, talks right out,
as he expresses It, about the help he
needs and the men and influences
that ought to give it to him, he makes
good start toward getting it. If
he hammers away on those lines, at
the same time doing his full part as
the Chief Executive of the State, he
will get the help he needs. II neces-
sary he can commander cooperating
committees of big timbered outstand-
ing men as President HARDING has
been able to commander such mate
rial for the great national reorgani-
cations and reforms he has been able
TO achieve through knowing what he
wanted done and whom he needed to
help him do it.
When AL SMITH Is right in any of
his programs for the improvement of
the State Government and the bene-
fit of the public he can count on get
ting the support Of public spirited
men and organizations il he sets out
after IL with the same earnestness
and vigor he put into winning his
reelection to the Governorship of
New York.

Scarpia and Angelo.
Resemblances Between "TOsca" and
"Measure for Measure"

10 THE NEW YORK HERALD: Your
account OF the presentation of "Tosca"
offers some consideration of comparison
of Scdrpia with Angelo in Measure for
Measure"
Although the characters Of the two
men are essentially different, the re-
semblance Of the villainy of Scarpi1
with that OF Angelo leads one to the
conclusion that the picture of the former
is based on that OF the latter.
Sardou would surely have been ia
miliar with the double dealing Angelo
and the parallel will be found to be
pretty narrow. Angelo sentences Claudio
to death. but offers to spare him IL his
sister will surrender herself. In "Tosca"
the motive is the same, but the climax
Is utterly tragic.
Both ScdrpiG and Angelo are blacker
than they are painted. Scdrpia lived
~ to his evil reputation and In Anoelo's
,wn words MY false outweighs your
true"
The parallel of FIorid and Isdbeilo is
much wider The latter showed not the
least sign of yielding, as witness her
reproach of Claudio in the prison.
Tosca's sacrifice is dictated by her pas
sionate love Of Cdvarodossi. While
scdrpid is the greater villain IsabeHo is
the woman supreme.
In the whole gallery OF Shakespeare's
women there is no more sublime char
scter than that of Isabella. If Meas
.ee for Measure" should ever be rem
iered in opera 1t might be doubted IL
the exigencies of such a presentation
could adequately realize the wonderful
argument between Isabella and Angelo.
At any rate what could be done would
not be done better than by two such
superb artists as Nine. Jeritza and Mr..
Antonio Scotti. w. Il. ALLEN.

Army Horsemanship Improves.

The improvement in the quality
of the horsemanship of the army has
attracted attention at the Horse Show.
Not only has a great advance in skill
been shown by cavalry officers but
their mounts have exhibited the bene-
fits of the training which has become
general in the service and is more
particularly practiced at the cavalry
school at Fort Riley, Kansas.
When the military classes first fig
ured on the program of the Horse
Show there was much to be desired
in the matter of the horsemanship
OF the American officers competing
with the English, French and Bel
gian riders. The establishment OF
the Federal Remount Service gave an
impetus to horse breeding, guaran-
teeing in time a supply of mounts
comparable with those of European
cavalry services. At the same time
the development of skill in riding
began to be marked.
The spirit animating the service
to-day.is apparent at the armory of
Squadron A and the interest taken
by Horse Show visitors in army
horsemanship is equally evident
Whenever the cavalry outfit enters
the ring the progress OF the compe-
tition is eagerly followed. These
Horse Show competitions bring out
the best in horses and men and make
for efficiency in this branch of the
army.

The Doubtful Blessing.

Through all tho years he told me that
Poor memory was his greatest falling,
And all the things he labored at
To better it were unavailing.
Until mnemonics proved a boon,
When in his JOY he ceased his fret

The system set him right, and soon
For him there was no more forgetting.
But twas not long ere skies grew dim.
For things forgotten came back
quickly;
His memory was restored to him,
But woes long lost piled on him
thickly.
Now he remembered everything
Mistakes he made, friends that for

Bills that he owes and duns that cling.
And oh. the pretty maid that shook

SATURDAY. NOVEMBER IS. 1922.
Enter the Tiger.

Americans, because they like men
who do things, heartily welcome M.
CIEMENcEAU. That old giant has
come over from France to talk to the
people of the United States. What he
viii say he has only limited at. He
wishes, he says, to insure perfect un-
derstanding between this country and
France. That is laudable ambition
and Americans will fall in with the
spirit of it.
Whatever NJ. CLEMENCEAU says is
sure to be interesting. He not only
speaks English well, but he knows
what people understand. His talk,
lke\his acts, is full of force. He pre-
fers the epigram to the involved sem
tences of the traditional diplomat.
His bluntness sometimes makes
friends, sometimes enemies; but
bluntness helped to make him great.
Half a century ago CLEMENcEAU' s
political opponents used to call him
an ''undisciplined vandal." Now they
call him destructive force" But
even the bitterest of his enemies in
France was glad to see that destruc-
tive force at work in the war. In
those times, when France was badly
bled, England's back to the wall, Italy
staggering from the blow of Capo-
retto, and when it was uncertain
ever reach Europe, CLEMENcEAU. more
than any other statesman or the
allied countries. kept the fighting
spirit alive. His II make war;"
revived the dropping warriors.
A country is fortunate when it
finds men like CLEMENcEAU at the
hour when they are needed. Their
confidence, their contempt of failure,
their magnificent egotism, are needed
to brace up nation. A Jackson,
Roosevelt, Clemenceau or a Musso-
lini is needed every so often to meet
situation which can be handled only
by some one powerful and daring in
dividual whom the people trust.
NJ. CLEMENcEAU was rs years old
when he accepted the Premiership of
the Victory Cabinet. He is 81 years
old now He could rest on his laurels,
but he crosses the ocean to strengthen
the friendship of the United States
and France--the same France which
refused 10 make him its President.
BUT with CLEMENcEAU that defeat is
forgotten incident. Whether at
certain times / have been in the
wrong or in the right" he wrote re-
Gently. mo longer even interests me,
Aince it belongs to the past"
The Tiger declines to lay his head
on the soft and fragrant pillows Of
memory. At 81, after having lived the
lives Of ten men, measured in activ-
ity, he starts on new adventure as
blithely as a boy. And all by himself,
without the backing OF government
or party-the most wonderful indi-
vidualist Of his age.

Surtaxes That Dry Up Revenues.

Secretary OF the Treasury MELLON
is not the kind of man and public off,
Ger that contents himself with merely
having a lucid grasp of the funda-
mentals of scientific and successful
taxing. He stands up and tells the
straight truth about it whether 1t is
popular or not. He urges the truth
upon Congress, although Congress
may be afraid to look it in the face.
The Government needs more reve-
nue., hundreds of millions OF dollars
more. IL needs it because its tax re-
ceipts have been fading out. But
Secretary MELLON does not believe
the way to get more revenue is to
increase taxes already so high that
they are curbing industrial activity
and thereby drying up the sources Of
taxes by diminishing the taxable
earnings OF industry.
Secretary MELLON does not believe
it is good business for the tax col
iecting bureau of the Government or
good business for the country to con-
tinue surtaxes that drive capital
away from active investments, like
factories, into inactive investments,
like tax exempt Federal, State and
municipal bonds. And he says so.
Secretary MELLON says more than
that. He says the way to get more
revenue is to. cut the surtaxes that
are now driving capital away from
taxable investments. He wants Con-
gress to act on that basis with the
existing surtax rates. Then capital,
now stunning excessive taxes, will,
under a more reasonable tax impost,
naturally go into active business,
create more employment, earn more
income and increase the aggregate
sources from which tax revenues flow
freely into the Treasury when the
tax rates are not restrictive or pro-
hibitive.
Ten billions of dollars OF surplus
earnings and accumulated wealth
have fled into the shelter of tax ex-
empt securities in this country chiefly
to escape taxation that in the case of
very large incomes approaches con-
fiscation. That ten billions of dol
lars of tax exempt investment will
not go back in full or In large part
to taxable investment If the exces-
sive surtaxes are reduced. Nobody
need expect that. Probably only a
small fraction of it will go back now.
But that is not the point. The point
is to stop another ten billions of dol
lars from going into new tax exempt
securities to escape confiscatory tax
alton.
Secretary MELLON knows the bulk
of new surplus money will always go
into active investment IL it Is safe
for it to go there. When he urges
the reduction of the excessive sur
taxes he knows what he is talking
about and all sound economists know
he does. But to make Congress see
the economic truth as Secretary
Mellon can see it may not be so simple
matter when the average Congress
eyes are fixed not on taxation funda-
mentals but on the vote back home.

Making Perfumes.
How the Finer Scents Are Caught
and Preserved.
From the London Times.

From the London Times.
In lecture published by the Royal
Society OF Arts last week Mr.. L. G..
Radcliffe discussed modern progress in
the manufacture of perfumes-one OF the
Oldest industries minlstering to human
pleasure. The art of the maker OF scents
is to preserve the fragrance OF some es-
sential oil. usually vegetable, beyond the
time when It would succumb to the nat
uraI decay Of the living plant.
DIstillation is a mode OF accomplishing
this preservation. older than history and
still being improved by the perfection OF
anparatus. But there are essences too
delicate 10 survive heat and the passage
through still and worm; these are cap
tured by spreading the fresh blooms on
trays lined with fats or oils, into which
the dying flowers slowly breathe their
fragrance. In yet another device the
flowers are stepped in some selective
solvent.
The Weld OF the finer scents is minute.
A ton of orange blossoms gives only
thirty to forty ounces OF the odorous oil (;
n hundred thousand Bulgarian roses sup
pIy only an ounce of otto. The chem
ist is now engaged in disentangling the
odorous constituents from these costly
substances and has succeeded in many
cases in making quantitative determina-
tions OF the individual compounds con-
tained in a natural perfume.
He has gone still further and has pro-
duced some OF them by artificial SYM
thesis or by separation from less costly
materials. 1t Is true that the subtlest OF
the natural perfumes have still bafiied
his art. But great and legitimate IN
dustry has arisen in the production OF
cheap and toierable substitutes for nat
uraI scents with a. profitable although
less legitimate eide line Of scientific
adulteration.
