HEALTH HAS ITS HANDlCARS
A Well Man Occasionally rees w"
Much Like Sinking Work
to Have Fun.

A man who works with his brain
after passing sleepless night. or
when In the clutches Of some discom-
forting indisposition, often does NOT
see how he is possibly going to get
through with his days stunt He goes
at It, however, and is almost always
surprised to find that he works more
rapidly and successfully than when
fine and fit. We suppose this Is De-
cause. feeling the necessity. he con-
centrates more determinedly on what
ia before him. The fact that he Is
rather tired and i'll, and therefore mas
little temptation or ambition to go
afield in the flesh Of the spirit, may
also have something to do with It.
Whatever the explanation, 1t Is the
truth.
Perfect health is glorious thing to
have. yet Its relationship to success In
life Is much exaggerated. very
large percentage of the worlds best
work has been done by men who dio
not feel well most Of the time they
were doing it. Astounding health, like
unlimited riches, involves its tempta
lions and its handicaps. One feels
too much like cutting short the hours
Of labor and going ~out and having
fun. Thus the. theory of compensa
ton works out.

GREAT DANGER OF FIRE

The immediate abandonment Of four
school buildings is demanded in report
submitted to the Board OF Education by
the joint committee on education. non
partisan organization of women, OF
which Mrs. Rogers II. Bacon is the chair
man.
Overcrowding. lack of sanitation. in
adequate fire protection, bad ventila ton
and poor plumbing are some of the
charges that an investigation has
brought forth. Little improvement ex-
cept in a few isolated instances Is seen
I'm the condition OF the buildings since
the last survey by the committee. last
autumn. and in the meantime those
buildings which have not undergone re-
pairs have gone from bad to worse.
Mrs. Bacon in her letter to George j.
Ryan. president of the Board of Educa-
ton, reports for the committee on sur
vey covering thirty-five buildings. be-
sides a resurvey of many of those origi-
nally reported upon. The schools de-
clared utterly unfit for occupancy are
the Girls Commercial High School. Julia
Richman High School, Public School 106,
Lafayette street. Manhattan, and Public
School so. South Fourth street, Brook
lyn.
Only one school building, Public
School 81. 519 West Forty-fourth street.
has been properly renovated in conform
ity with the suggestions made in the last
report,the survey states.
The following quotations are from a
general summary Of the report:
Schools still have bad sanitary con-
ditions, many of which are a positive
menace to health"
The third survey shows very little
Improvement in fire protection. In the
original report on forty school buildings
eleven are described as being definite
menace in case of fire and twelve as
having only fair protection"
Play facilities in Manhattan ana
Brooklyn schools unsatisfactory. Twenty
one of the thirty-six schools had no
outside space"
REST rooms for teachers were found
to be small, dark and unsuitable and
many schools had none"
Conditions in the Girls Commercial
High School remain much the same as
in the report of May, 1921, the survey
as medieval in every respect, with
impossible sanitation" poor lighting
and almost no recreation facilities
The Julia Richman High School is on
the present building program and plans
have already been accepted for the new
structure. Only slight improvement is
noted over the conditions that were de-
scribed as "notoriously bad" in the orig
inal report.
Public School 106 is condemned as be-
ing untitled in every way for school
purposes. and Public School 80 Is placed
in like category. although it is con-
ceded that the school authorities have
purchased new building and were not
allowed to occupy it because of delays
in the alterations demanded by the Fire
Department
The new Hunts Point school. No. AZ

School 20, Sanford avenue, Flushing, Is
said to be in good condition. The play
facilities In the schools in, Queens and

satisfactory.

BANTON AGAIN STRIKES
AT BROKERS' CONTRACT
Advises CromUeu to AUoid
Legal Disputes.

District Attorney Banton yesterday
advised Seymour l.. Cromwell: presi-
den. OF the New York Stock Exohange.
to stick to matters of the exchange
and not go into the realm of law" This
was his answer to Mr.. Cromwel!'s critI-
cism OF his Interpretation of the law in
connection with brokerage houses.
In an address to the Electrical League
at the Hotel Astor on Wednesday the
Stock Exchange head took issue with
Mr.. Banton's assertion that nrokers
virtually were asking their customers to
give them the right TO st aal in asking
them TO sign document permitting
the broker to lend or pledge a security
without regard to the amount of ths
brokers' indebtedness to the customer.
Mr.. Banton said that while Mr.. Crom-
well and he agreed on many things
they had certain differences of opinion.
He went on:
II do not believe in substituting psn-
alties provided by the New York Stock
the penalties provided by law against
unlawful practices.
Il still repeat that IL any customer of
any brokerage firm is foolish enough to
sign the new contract. and thus place
IN the hands of the broker the power
to misappropriate securities placed
with tho broker as collateral. he puts
II in the power of the broker TO steal
those securities, and yet prevents the
prosecuting officer from taking action
against the broker for such misconduct .
