The Flapper Goes to Court.

Not in the effete East, not in the
breezy West, but in old fashioned Ar
kansas, the fiapper has called for a
showdown. She has gone to court to
demand her right to dress as she
pleases and to powder her nose if
she will.
The title Of the case which every
fiapper will rank next to that of
DRED ScoTT in the judicial history Of
American liberty is PEARL PUGsLEY
versus the School Board of Knobel,
Clay county. The Board issued an
order barring students from classes
If they used rouge or face powder or
wore short skirts or peekaboo waists.
Some Of the pupils meekly yielded,
but not so PEARL of the house Of
Pugsley.
Right into the Circuit Court she
went with plea for writ of man.
damus against the School Board.
She backed it with affidavits relating
to her cosmetics and her peekaboos.
She laid down the great broad Amer
ican principle of the freedom of the
powder puff; of the right Of woman
to adorn herself as she sees fit within
the limits of responsibility.
For three hours, we read, Miss
PEARL PUGsLEY's case was heard by
Judge BANDy. Three years would
not be too much for so important an
issue. If the decision should be
against the young woman let her
press on to the Supreme Court OF
the United States. That great tribu-
nal has had less important questions
put to It; surely it has heard few
questions so interesting.
Arkansas has not had a really ma
tional figure since Colonel ARCHIBALD
YELL. Miss PEARL bids fair to win a
niche in the Hall of Fame. She Is
the Joan of Flapperdom.

Business Men and Humor.

President VINCENT of the Rookie
feller Foundation suggests that the
great trouble with the American bust
ness man is that he talks shop all the
time, feels that the weight of the
world is on his shoulders, and rather
needs the development of sense Of
humor.
There is a good deal in this. II
some business men could attain to a
sense of humor which would enable
them to see themselves as they really
are much OF the shop talk would dis
appear. We should hear less of the
lingo, the cant phrase. of men who
think they are talking business. We
should see less of the pose which
goes with that sort of talk.
AS that very sensible business man
r. N. HURLEY recently said, business
men have fallen into the habit OF
going through useless motions. They
spend on the dictation of compara-
lively useless letters time which
should be employed in seeing that
their factories are turning out prod
uct. They employ in so-called con-
ferences the hours which ought to
be devoted to the main purpose OF
business, which Is selling goods.
The fashion of holding long lunch
cons at which business men hear
about the Ills OF Europe, the Value
Of Cooperation, &c.-and then go
sleepily back TO the office-is one Of
the things that put the weight Of the
world on the poor business mans
shoulders. His mind wanders to the
currency problems Of Esthonia at a
time when II should be fixed on the
hardware needs OF the Mississippi
Valley.
So far as humor in the ordinary

The Knight Bill.
The New York Psychological Asso'
clation Opposes the Measure.

To THE NEW York HERALD In behalf
Of our organization with more than 100
members we desireeto protest against the
knight mental deficiency bill, which is
to have a final hearing before Governor
Miller in Albany tomorrow. Our rea-
sons are:
1t contains several un-American fea-
lures and therefore is unworthy of our
type of government.
1t is a definite infringement of per-
sonal liberties. particularly of those we
should seek to foster.
1t possesses several railroading possi-
bilities and loopholes which the present
well constructed law-does not contain.
1t provides for retention for an in
definite time of indefinite or only sus-
pected cases.
1t will cause needless anxiety and dis
tress to families already heavily bur-
dened.
1t behooves us all, as enlightened citi-
zens. to bestir ourselves lest we see
visited upon us again a more enlightened
yet nevertheless a moro severe type of
slavery. LEGISLATIVE COMMITTEE,

Chairman Lasker's Ship Plan.

The question which Chairman
LAs.IER of the United States Ship
ping Board has put to Congress re-
garding a subsidy for our merchant
marine is not Chinese puzzle and
it is not an economic contradiction.
He does not maintain that there is
any difference in principle between
paying losses on the operation of the
Governments ships out of direct
taxes from the public and paying
losses on the operation Of the same
ships il privately owned out of in
direct taxes from the public. Taxes
are taxes, whichever way they go;
it is the amount that counts and the
final result.
What Chairman LAsKER asks Con-
gress in the blunt way Of the hard
sense business man is whether 1t
wants the Government to go on mud
ding along with the operation of the
ships at the maximum of disadvan-
tage or whether 1t wants the Gov
ernment to get rid of the ships;
whether 1t wants the Flag to con-
tinue flying on the principal trade
routes OF the world or whether 1t
wants the Flag gradually to disap-
pear. from the high seas; whether 1t
wants the Government to get back
something for the tonnage which
cost it billions of dollars or whether
IL wants the Government to give
that tonnage away or let it rot as
idle hulks.
Chairman LAsKER has no doubt,
trained business men have no doubt
and Congress can have little doubt
that competent private ownership
MANAGEMENT can give better han
ding OF the ships and at cheaper
cost than the Government is doing OF
ever will do. But responsible owner.
ship management will not buy the
ships from the Government at any
worth while tonnage price when there
is no chance to make anything but
losses on them. Responsible owner
ship management under such circum-
stances will not touch the ships on
charter proposal based on the war
imitation costs OF building them.
Private capital will go into the ven
ture, however, II there is a sufficient
subsidy in one form or another to
assure its getting out with some
,hing Of a profit on efficient manage
ment of the ships. And by as much
as competent private ownership man
agement does any business better and
more cheaply than the Government
does II, the operation of the Ameri-
can merchant marine, while still cost
ing the American public in taxes
whatever the subsidy amounts to, will
almost certainly cost 1t very much
less In the long run than the fifty

mind me how the spring came up
across Montana's mountains.
The smiling spring. the ardent spring.
with sunlight In her hair
She freed the prisoned brooks until they
laughed like living fountains
And flung their joyous messages upon
the amber air.
I mind me how she wove A scarf of
blades and tufts of grasses
To veil the barren foothills and the
rolling reach OF plain,
And how the crystal winds blew down
the rugged peaks and passes
And whispered through the cations
that her feet had come again.
mind me how she called the feathered
folk to slope and valley,
And how the wild duck SKINNED
along the rivers silvern edge,
And how the grouse went drumming
down the woods dim lighted alley,
or flocks of wild geese cut the sky, a
silent winged wedge.
I mind me how Lake Selfish. like mir
ror in the highlands
Caught from the eyes OF April some
thing of their azure hue
And like a giant sapphire that had
dropped from out the sisyiands
Lay shimmerlng and glimmering and
wavering with blue.
Oh, / have seen the spring come UP with
all her shining booty,
Whereer her footsteps touch the
earth her wander ways are fair,
But no land save the west land catches
half her golden beauty

Drink of the Poets.
Should 1t Be the Juice Of the Grape
or Just Plain Water}

To THE NEW YoRK HERALp Mr. Myers
in stating his negative position In re-
gard to alcohol and art quotes Emerson
but his quotation is scant The inteiii-
pent reader gets a smallish opinion OF
Emerson, who was intellectually broad
and generous, as his essays on Shake
speare and Goethe will show. Note ms
quotation from the poet in his preiim-
mary essay on the swift passing OF
good men:
Even their phantoms arise before US.
Our loftier brothers, but one In blood
At bed and table they lord 1t Ger u.s.
with looks of beauty and words OF good.
BY plnching an author to our use we
might by the same token Gull this from
the ninth chapter OF Judges: And the
vine said unto them, Should / leave
my wine which cheereth God and man?"
In fact, rthe gift Of the sunlight" OF the
essay on the poet may have been slyly
noted in Emerson's mind in poetic
moment as being the grape. From the
grape comes the symbol OF the resur-
rection and the lfe--a symbol that will
not be lightly put aside; for, as has
been said. IL we look at the height
reached by the European nations In art
and compare 1t with the non-alcoholic
achievements of the Mohammedan peo-
pies II will be as the great pyramid
to an ant hill.
John Milton, / take II, was a tee
totaler. being Puritan; but Emerson
quotes him as saying the lyric poet may
drink wine, but the epic poet must drink
water out OF a wooden bowl. This hg-
ure points to a life OF austerity, and
as we have produced no epic as yet. even
though we have made gallant use of the
ironbound bucket the figure does not
apply TO us who love our personal lib
critics so much.
Now our good friends the prohibition
lists seem to think that life, to be up
to date. must be carried on according
to fixed formulas, and what ethics and
education cannot accomplish laws will
compel, and they, while the great mass
stand indifferent. try the stampede. But
to the overzealous comes a day Of reck-
oning always.
IL is one OF the inevitables Of politics
that the present hysteria Is followed by
the future reaction. Who can tell what
the secret balloting may do? The art
and literature OF thousand or more
years cannot be denied. IL all that the
vine has inspired should drop out OF
our literature nothing would be left but
a cask of sounding rhetoric. Maybe
Walter Pater sald something like this
or George Moore, and some there be
who might place Moore above Meredith.
All Puritans appear to be opposed to
art. and this Is what Joseph Pennell
understands for art is sensuous and
appeals 70 the imaginative reason and

Hazards of the Air Lanes.

The collision yesterday between an
airplane bound from Paris to London
and an airplane bound from London to
Paris seems at first glance inexplica-
BILE. with all the air in which to
navigate" will be asked, why should
the pilots have brought the planes
together?"
But the lane in which commercial
machines operate is not all the air
but very restricted portion of it..
They are kept to the most direct
route between the cities they serve
They fly at certain altitude. Even
with the most delicate and depend
able apparatus available they cannot
escape the obscurity Of fogs.
The accident over a village sew
enty miles north of Paris yesterday
cost the lives of three passengers, two
,ilots and mechanician. The pilots
caught sight of each other too late to
change the course of their machines.
Collisions of aircraft have been COM
mon in war and have not been infre-
quent in military and naval training,
but in commercial service they have
been practically unknown. Yester-
days accident reveals the fact that
they constitute hazard against
which provision must be made by fix
ing mountaineering routes, IL instru-
ments to reveal nearby planes cannot
be perfected.

Brooklyn Cream.
A Consumers Thoughts on the Ap-
prOpriateness OF "Extra Heavy.c

To THE NEW York HERALD: There is
law or an ordinance which requires
that milk sold in this city shall be Of
n certain degree OF richness. Cannot
you inform us whether there Is not also
some regulation that specifies how far
a milk dealer can dilute his cream ana
stll sell II under the name OF cream?
The cream we are getting nowadays
is getting thinner and thinner. 1t is
practically nothing more than what IN
many places would be called rich milk.
To call 1t cream is bad enough, but
they term 1t extra heavy which is a
travesty and an insult to the purchaser
and an imposition as well.
If they would apply the term extra
heavy" to the nerve they exhibit in
charging the price they ask for this
stun the designation would be a little
more appropriately used. More legisla-
ton in this line is what is needed.
