Not Brain, but Capacity
To Use Tt, Is Held Vital
Public Service Director Takes
Issue With Dartmouth Idea
Of Mental Aristocracy

The United States does not need an
"aristocracy of brains" What it most
needs in the way Of cerebral guidance
is ga high quality of character and the
capacity to use whatever of brains one
possesses" That this is not more con-
sidered in the national realms of
higher education is the fault chiefly Of
the universities and not of the men
who enter them.
These conclusions arc contained in q
statement issued yesterday by William
H. Allen, director of the Institute for
Public Health, in taking issue with the
contention of President Hopkins of
Dartmouth that too many students with
out high quality of brains are going
to college and cluttering up the curric-
ulums.
Mr.. Allen. in thus joining an educa-
ticnal controversy which promises to
spread far afield, declares that "instead
of too many there are altogether too
few who have the necessary gray mat
ter who can get near enough TO college
to regret that they are financially un-
able to &C." The panacea advanced by
Mr.. Allen is "helping and disciplining
numbers, not limiting them"
"The disease" he says, "lies inside
college management and not in Young
America. 1t is true that the funds of
colleges are not limitless. 1t is also
true that they are near enough limit
less to take care of all who want to go
to college for educational reasons, if
only the colleges will stop making char
ity patients of men and women who
would prefer the status of self-respect-
lug customers"

To Share Singers Fortune
Mrs. Anna Hanson Notified She
Is One of Heirs of Late
Christine Nilsson

Special Dispatch to TIE Trsbun,

Special Dispatch to TIE Tribune
LAWRENCE, Mass, Sept. 24.-Mrs
Anna Hanson, OF Willoughby Street,
this city, was notified to-day by rep
resentative Of New York law firm that
she is one of the heirs to the estate Of
the late Countess DeMiranda of Swcd-
en-, who before her marriage was Chris
tine Nilsson, world famous lyric 30
prano.
MRS Hanson's father, it is said, was
q son Il Andrew Nilsson, brother Of
the noted singer. Countess DeMirnnda
died at the age Of seventy-eight, in
Copenhagen, last November, leaving, an
estate of great value. According TO the
news dispatches from Sweden, her
jewels, largely gifts Of royalty, alone
are valued at $1,o00,000.
There have boen several claimants
in this country to the large fortune,
among them being Mrs. Sadie Marray,
Of East Lynn, Mass, who for many
years has asserted that she is the
daughter Of Christine Nilsson. Mrs.
Murray asserts she was born In Worces-
ter in 1881, and in 1882 was placed
in home for destitute children. At
torneys representing the singers rela-
tives contend that Miss Nilsson was not
in America in 1881.

Two More Links i'm
Hudson River Road
Opened to Traffic
Only Short Stretch Near
Nyack Uncompleted in
Scenic Way to Albany;
Storm King P.:.rt Finished
Special Dispatch TO The Tribune

NEWBURGH, Sept. 24-Two more
INKS in the interstate scenic highway
along the west shore of the Hudson
were opened yesterday, leaving only
short stretch already under con-
struction near Nyack to be completed
before autom obilsts will be able to
drive from New York to Albany alonR
the waters edge. The two new stretches
alone cut off sixteen miles from the
run between the two cities.
One of them is the Storm King High
way, blasted out of the solid rock 400
feet above the river in the northern
gateway to the Highlands, where the
cliff is so steep that when construction
was started seven years ago laborers
had to be lowered in baskets to make
the first drillings. So great were the
engineering difficulties encountered
that the state was compelled to expend
$S50,000 for the construction of the
four and a half mile stretch, in addi-
tion to another $650,00O for surveying,
condemnation proceedings and similar
items. The view which it commands
as it rounds Storm King is considered
one of the finest on the river, running
from the bend at West Point to the
Catskills and the low hills of Colum-
bia County.
SO great was the rush of automobiles
to traverse the Storm King road yes
terday that four park policemen had
to be assigned to regulate traffic. The
highway is between twenty four and
thirty-two feet wide throughout its
length, and it was crowded all day.
The other new link is the 1,O0O-foot
viaduct at Stony Point, which was
dedicated by Supreme Court Justice
Arthur S. Tompkins, of Nyack. The
road further up the river was formally
thrown open by John L, Hayes, Of
Yonkers, the contractor who has been
in charge Of it's construction.
