A Hoofer Replies.
He Crlticizes Police Traffic Rules at
a Busy Corner.

To THE NEW YORK HERALD: I am one
of the many thousands who use the
crossing at Chambers street and Broad
way, and 1t Is only natural that should
resent the criticisms Of pedestrians made
by Policeman Wishart in your paper.
II there is dumbness 1t is entirely due
to police regulations. When the up
town and downtown traffic Is on you
will find constantly the crosstown traffic.
trucks and automobiles alike, crowding
the pedestrians curbs. often to such an
extent that they are forced to walk
against that moving uptown, or down
town traffic. and vice versa, when the
crosstown traffic is on. Now I believe
all this confusion could be avoided by
drawing line back of the curb and
compelling the traffic to keep behind
that line when the opposite traffic is
moving.
In addition ] wish to add that many.
many times there is no traffic police
man son that corner and many other
corners, and the result is delight for
any one who enjoys scrambles.
Pedestrians cannot regulate; but the
police can resolved. they are the dumb
bells. A. p.

times dig in the sepulchral mounds
built by prehistoric race.
There is an evidence of some de-
gree of culture in the few relics un-
covered. These sepulchers were built,
it is conjectured by psychologists,
by branches of the same race which
left the puzzling serpentine defenses
and the circles Of earthworks in Ohio
and the mounds along the Missis-
sippi Valley. Man wonders to-day
what was the purpose of these works
and he asks what sort of people built
them. All he knows of them he in
cludes in that meaningless term,
Mound Builders. In 5000 A. D., when
the war and the heroes commemo-
rated in this statuary have scarcely

the carving on Stone Mountain rep
resented the highest inventive and
artistic skill of the civilization of
our time?

model of permanent new party to
rival the old ones.
Veteran Congress leaders are not
thrown into a panic and seasoned po-
litical parties are not stampeded by
handful of legislative free lances
that make the mistake of going to ex-
tremes. The best thing the Congress
Centrist group can do for itself and
for the country at this juncture is to
keep its head and steer clear of
wild attempts at the impossible.

The Mississippi Choctaws.
Remnants OF Tribe Eager to Take
Up Farming.
From the Southern Workman.

There are approximately 1900 Choc-
taw Indians within the borders Of Mis-
sissippi, remnants Of the tribe that once
resided in thu state and that removed
to Indian Territory-now Oklahoma-in
1928. Practically all of these In
dams are farmers and land for them Is
the key to the situation. The sum Of
$4,000 was appropriated several years
ago for the purchase Of forty acre
tracts on the reimbursable plan for the
heads of families, and the amount was
to be repaid within ten years
A number OF tracts were selected but
owing to the chaotic condition of real
estate records In Mississippi satisfactory
titles could not be secured before the end
of that fiscal year and the appropriation
lapsed. The act for the current year
carries an item of but $4,000 for land
purchase. A way was found to convey
the land desired with an unassailable
title and the money will be used as far
as 1t will go. There are ESQ heads Of
families. and to provide all of them with
permanent land holdings at least $4,000

The German Government Upset.

The United Socialists of Germany
have toppled over the Wirth Govern
ment because it could not assure the
stabilization of the evaporating mark
But if the German Socialists them
selves have discovered any way to
stabilize the volatile mark in the cir
! cumstances that overwhelm the
finances of their country they have
kept it perfect secret.
For the matter of that, if anybody
else, in Germany or out of Germany,
could rationalize Germany's chaotic
currency situation in the face of the
vast supplies of raw materials the
country needs to buy and in the
face of the stupendous reparations
awards the Government is asked to
pay without gold and without sur
plus commodities to do the paying
with he would be nothing less than
an economic miracle worker.
The great economists, the great
bankers and, the great statesmen Of
the world are agreed that the Ger
man money problem is impossible of
sound solution so long as there is
nothing behind the constantly in
creasing masses of currency except
the printing presses that print it by
the ton. And behind the billions on
billions of paper marks flooding the
country in tidal waves there can be
nothing but the printing press so
/ long as there is an insistent demand
1 from outside the country for more
payments of real value, many times
over, than there is any possibility of
Germany providing in gold. in silver,
in goods, or in anything else in a
thousand years.
If the German Government were
to balance its budget-make its in
come equal its expenses-there still
would be lacking the gold. or the
gold values, with which to pay noun
tains of reparations claims, and on
top of that to buy abroad the raw
materials that are imperatively nec-
essary to the industrial production
on which the German people must
support themselves and meet their
external obligations.
If the reparations claims could
be made secondary to new foreign
loans, as American and other bank
ers have explained, the German Gov
ernment could borrow gold abroad
and German business could arrange
credits abroad so that the needed
supplies could be obtained for Ger
man industry. But this would not
cure the patient, for there would
still be wanting incentive for the peo-
pie to work. And without work no
scheme Of finance can count for
much.

The White Deer Of Ampersand.

Between the trunks Of beech and birch
and pines of stature grand
That climb the steep and craggy sides
of lofty Ampersand.
In golden noon or purple dusk or silver
moonlight clear.
A shape of grace and beauty rare ap-
pears. milk white deer.
It's hide Is like the spotless snow that
clothes the mountain when
The furred and feathered creatures bide
in burrow bush and den,
It's eyes are soft as limpid pools within
the forest shade,
Its tiny hoofs are black as set and shine
like polished Jade.
The hunter secs Il for breath among
the emerald boughs
Where fragrant buds and tender tips
invite the deer to browse,
AS pure and perfect as the forms the
sculptor's chisel brings
From stainless marble for the halls Of
millionaires and kings.
A feeting moment thus It stands with
wide inquirlng gaze,
AS though the sight OF man were strange
and filled 1t with amaze:
Then like phantom vanlshes in green
primeval gloom
Where tangled branches interlace ana
falling waters boom.
Long ere the white mans rowing foot
had ventured to intrude
Upon the Adirondacks' vast and splendid
solitude.
White Deer, an Indian maiden. roamed
the soaring peaks and learned
To hold deep converse with the stars
that DER their SUBMITS burned.
Though many a chief before her lodge
his furs and wampum piled
She spurned them for the lonely trails
and rocky ridges wild.
Until TO her on Ampersand youth i'm
mortal came
The bright new moon. and touched her
brow with his enchanted flame.
The glory folded her about as In a
bridal veil,
Transfiguring her hue OF bronze to ala
baster pale,
md swiftly to the cloudless west
through spaces darkly blue
lie bore her in a followed pearl--his
crescent shaped canoe.
But In the time of early frost ere yet
the snowflakes fly
She leaves again the slender bark that
cruises in the sky.
To wander as a milk white deer in that
majestic land
Where, rise the thicl<ly wooded slopes
of rugged Ampersand.

With the Actor Duty First.

When IRENE FRANKLIN was about
to step on the stage in Cleveland
Sunday night word was brought to
her that BURTON GREEN, her husband,
was dying at their home in Mount
Vernon. Nevertheless she coura-
geously went on with the performance
of her part.
The public had come to hear her
songs and laugh at her stories.
There may have been little lack OF
spirit in them while her eyes looked
with preoccupation beyond the circle
of her admiring listeners. Certainly
her thoughts were far away from the
Cleveland playhouse. Yet the public
knew nothing of her sorrow and
marked no reflection of her personal
mood in the performance. She was
the artist obeying the call Of duty.
Hiding his own emotions while
mimicking the feelings of the charac-
ter he is portraying before the public
is familiar experience in the life
work of the actor. When Cdnio up
braids the tickle Media on the little
stage of the pagliacci truth and fic-
tion pour along so turbulently in the
inflamed mind of the jealous num-
mer that reason is upset and his
wife dies by his hand. This Is only
holding the mirror up to nature
1t is not always the will Of the
interpreter to seek consolation in Sc
clusion. EFFIE ELLsLER did not retire
from the representation of "The Bat"
because her husband died only few
hours before the curtain went up.
EMMA CALvE sang at the Metropoli-
tan Opera House few hours after
her fathers death. Concentration on
the task to be performed seems to
provide degree of oblivion of sor-
row to- the artist.
So the audience, in life and in
fiction. applauds the clown who has
suffered mortal hurt in a feat the
spectators think he has successfully
achieved. Lips must smile although
hearts are breaking. The physician
advises the melancholy patient to see
the clown who makes all the world
laugh-all except himself. To suffer
and yet not show it. to hide pain Of
mind or body with a smile that they
who have come to laugh may not be
brought to tears of sympathy-such
is often the lot Of one who lives in
the emotions Of others, whether the
merchant deal in smiles or tears.

Pure Streams, Mean More Fish.

Many streams that at one time
yielded an important food supply as
well as good sport for the angler have
become barren Of fish through the
pollution OF the water by discharges
from manufacturing plants along
their banks. In some communities
efforts have been made to compel the
owners of these plants to dispose
otherwise OF deleterious waste ma
terials, but speaking generally little
has been accomplished In the way of
safeguarding the purity of rivers.
Under these circumstances impor-
tance attaches to the recent prose-
cution of the owners of a glue fac
tory on Cattaraugus Creek, near
Gowanda, in New York State. A
warning was given to the company
when dead fish were found in the
stream and evidence was obtained
indicating that they had been poi
soned by factory waste. The warning
not being effective, legal proceedings

1t was not so many years ago that
about every fresh water stream in
the country yielded fish of some va
riety. Their pursuit gave pleasure to
many, while as food product they
gave variety to the table Of every
body. Nowadays even the largest
streams have fewer fish than ever be-
fore, and this condition Is likely to
continue to the. point Of extermina-
tion unless the pollution Of rivers
and brooks can be prevented.

the quality of its shad. some of the
finest fish being taken within the

the catch did not repay the fisher

There are hundreds of streams in
the State which would add to the
food supply IL freed from pollution

a lot of pleasure to those who believe

YALE IN CHINA MAKES
BIG STRIDES IN is YEARS
NolD One of FiUe Leading In
stitutions, Says Report.

srecial Dispatch to THE New York HnRALp
NEW HAVEN, Conn, Nov. 15.--How
Yale in China influences international
relations is set forth to Yale students
and graduates in statement which III.
H. Vreeland. executive secretary Of that
Oriental institution. has written and
which was made public here to-day. Mr..
Vreeland writes:
Sixteen years ago this month three
Yale graduates opened a small school in
Changsha, the capital of the great CEN
trail China province Of Human. Since
this undertaking was entirely supported
by Yale alumni 1t was called Yale In
China. From these, small beginnings
the Yale work at Changsha has steadily
grown until Yali to-day is one of the five
leading institutions of China and has a
faculty Of forty-five Americans and
Chinese, who are largely Yale graduates.
"It includes a college of arts and SCI
ences. a large preparatory school. a col
lege Of medicine and a hospital with
nurses training school. There are this
year more than 400 students enrolled In
these departments. Yale in China Is
commonly known as Yali."

Statuary for the Ages.

The plans for memorial to the
Confederacy on Stone Mountain,
northern Georgia, have advanced SO
far as to give an assurance that the
work will be completed. Across the
face of this mountain ON a cliff 1000
feet high, GUTZoN BoRGLUM, the sculp-
tor, will carve a marching army. in
which. will appear in figures OF heroic
proportions the Southern leaders of
the civil war times. 1t is a great
piece of work; an undertaking in
art such as has been seldom planned
in modern days.
Stone Mountain Is a granite mono
lith rising sheer from plain about
fifteen miles from Atlanta. It's smooth
northern face, almost a perfect per-
pendicular plane 1900 feet wide and
1000 feet high, has often appealed
to the sculptor as base for gigan-
tic piece of statuary. Its use for
war memorial was considered by
people of the South several years ago
The expense of the memorial and the
fact that the mountain was somewhat
remote from well travelled highways
caused some doubt as to the advis-
ability of the undertaking. The site,
though, has recently become so popu-
lar with Southern automobilists and
tourists that 1t will very likely soon
be made into a national park. The
expense of the memorial is to be met
by public funds, to which there have
already been liberal contributions.
The magnitude of the work has
led Mr.. BoRGLUM to enlist not only
high artistic skill but the aid of en-
gineering and modern invention.
Many of. the figures will be eighty
feet i'm height and none of the more
important ones will be less than
forty or fifty feet. Upon the proper
position of these and the correct
placing of the entire line of figures
will largely depend the impress
sion which the statuary will make.
To obviate the likelihood of mis-
take Mr.. BoRGLUM will photograph
upon the cliff his own design. The
face OF the rocks will be sensitized,
and using IL as his plate he will pro-
ject upon IL a series of pictures 220
feet long and 10 feet high. This
will be the first time that such an
attempt was ever made to facilitate
the sketching Of giant figures for
statuary.
This great piece of statuary chis-
eled out of the side of granite
mountain should stand for ages. IL
should have an existence as long as
the Pyramids and the Sphinx Of the
Nile valley or the sculptures of Baby
lon and ancient Mesopotamia. The
archnologists of to-day unearth the
ruins of these past centuries and
merely speculate upon the manners
Of the people who lived when those
great works we're planned and built.

bills of southern Tennessee and

A Good Natured Lot.
The Generous Sidewalk Merchants
of Downtown New York.


To THE New YORK HERALD: The
good natured and long suffering mer-
chants who transact their business on
the sidewalks Of streets leading to the
ferries in New York city cannot be too
highly praised for their forbearance In
their intercourse with pedestrians
The merchants always leave a pas
sogeway along the sidewalk between
their boxes and bales on the curb and
their boxes and bales along the front
Of the buildings. They permit pedes-
trians to walk through these passages
without charge. subject only. OF course
to the necessities of loading and un-
loading trucks.
Never indeed, does the passerby find
his privilege OF occupying n section of
the sidewalk disputed by the merchants
naturally some short tempered custom
ers resent the intrusion of outsiders In
the trading place. but this happens in
frequently. Commonly the pedestrian Is
permitted to pass unchallenged assum-
ing he does not loiter.
This state of affairs must be highly
gratifying to the police, who, were the
situation otherwise. might be obliged TO
escort the pedestrians through this fine
open air market J. +. J.

boy or girl to whom 1t Is eventually to
go. People sending for the stockings
may specify either boys or girls and also
ages. When filled these stockings may
be returned to the associations Offices
by parcel post or messenger. The asso-

They are anxious that no one of these
children shall be forgotten or neglected
