nan PATTERSOE
MANY IN GOTHAM,
SAYS MTNTYRE
Former Broadway Beau.
ty Lives in a Hut and
Lesson Is Unheeded.
By o. O. M'INTYRE.

NEW YORK. Feb. 1s.-once again
Time Is the Broadway croupier! In
the glad, bad days before the street
became Bootlegger's Boulevard,
when Rector's. Shanley's, Churchilfs
and the Beaux Arts blazed with
color and life. Nan Patterson's
youth and beauty thrilled the
young bloods. +
Today the former idolized "Flora-
dora" girl lives In poverty in hut
near Yonkers. Her name came back
to the first pages the other day
when she was arrested for lighting
with q band of gypsies encamped
near her wretched home.
Nan drank deep of the waters of
Broadway. In those days Caesar
Young. a turfman, was fattening
the cleaners along the street from
his plethoric bankroll. He was the
first to give the 500 tip to head
walters. Nan became Caesars giA.
They cut a wide swath among
the gay spenders for many hectic
weeks and then Young. firing of
the volatile footlight belle, decided
to go to Europe and rejoin HIS
wife. He set out for the dock ono
ihOA hiUS HdHbohh Cou WIN ANoAa
at his side. :
They took their first drink at
Broadway and Forty-second street
and made forty stops before they
neared the pier. There was shot,
woman's shrill scream and the
police found Nan Patterson with
Caesar Young's head pillowed In
her lap, trying to call him back to
life.
Her explanation was that he tried
to shoot himself in grief at leaving
her, she struggled to get the gun
II went off-and that was all she
knew. The jury disagreed and she
was free.
Then began the descent. A few
years ago she was noticed now and
then, swathed in black. in the
cheaper cafes on the fringe of
Broadway. Then the backwaters of
life closed over her and she was
seen no more. Broadway still has
its Nan Pattersons toying with
pitiless fate. But the lesson is
never needed. For Broadway Is
ever wise. -
Harry Pilcer Is in town from
Paris. speaking French like ma
tive. Pilcer Is one of the flock OF
dancers fed to Broadway from the
lower East Side. He became the
dancing partner Of the much
heralded Gaby Deslys and later ac-
companied her to Paris where they
were quite the rage. He now con-
ducts the tazziest night haunt In
the French metropolis, patronized
chiefly by Americans. and he says
he intends to remain permanently
on the other side.
The toy balloon men have been
ordered of Fifth avenue. They
were welcome until they be-
gin hawking their balloons that
screeched and yowled. Most OF the
toy balloon men are old tello"s
who once sold their wares on the
circus lot but with age found the
rigors of travelling too severe. The
police say that in the past few
weeks they have been begging In
addition to their peddling, so they
must move over to Sixth avenue.

1t Is sweet to know that our Alice

Congress, is a statesman in the very
broadest application of the term
without being. less the woman. A
rara avis as II were.
II you doubt me note that our
Alice, in addressing some women
who were attempting to organize L
woman's political party, gave this
sage advice and made the following
observation. II say join the (poli-
ticaD party in which you believe
and then start in on the lowest
rung OF the ladder. Learn about
government in the precinct (Alice
knows. as every politician knows.
that is the place to begin). l well
remember what Roosevelt replied
to some person who criticised him
for attending ward meetings over
livery stables and saloons. IF I
don't learn how they govern so that
I may govern them, they will gov
ern me and thus they will be my
peers So he began in the pre-
cinct. l tell You to do the same.
Live the finest sort of life in your
own neiGhborhood and try to make
1t possible for every ore else to do
likewise"
Social service or welfare service,
or whatever one may wish to cali
II. is nothing more nor less than
the highest order of practical po-
liticai labor for the good of your
neighborhood-if you cannot do
that for your neighborhood. you
cannot do il for your ritv or State
And to do that well. men and
women must work together. There
VIII always be at least two DOM
incnt parties. even in welfare work
"A conservative, and a radical
group. but that does not ncrcssar-
lily mean the extreme of either. But
sex division is abnormal as a
basis of party politics ard govern
ment.
SO men and women of Washing
ton If you desire suffrage in the
District Of Columbia q am not in
favor of iO, deserve it by i'm
mediately Joining the Federation of
Citizens Clubs, thus beginning at
the very lowest rung of politics,
which Is at the same time the very
highest rung of citizenship-''its
only dollar down and a dollar a
year" And if you are in favor of
some kind of a memorial to the
msrtyrs who lost their lives in the
knickerbocker Theater know of no
better memorial that an active par
ticipation in the citizens clubs of
the District. That active member
ship as a memorial will produce
! more permanent results than wonld
regrets or fault-f1ndinp with the
authorities.
The District of Columbia is an
average community-it ought to be
much above the average community
in intelligence; and it should take
greater interest In the practical
social service, which Is politics of
the best kind, But 1t proves it is
only the average community be-
cause the average citizen will not
dnter into the real labor of making
Washington a better city to live in.
Votes are not necessary to do that.

Mr.. Hoovers "Surgery."
I HERBERT HOOVER'S exposure of certai
n so-called Russian relief agencies is a publ

HERBERT HOOVER'S exposure of certain
so-called Russian relief agencies is a public
: service which classifes as skllful surgery
upon movement which demanded just that sort of
action.
In revealing the background of the collecting
organizations formed by assistants to Martens, the
Soviet ambassador, when he was sent home, Mr..
Hoover bares facts which all America should know.
Reputable and established agencies are distrib-
nting food throughout Russia. Devoted workeA
are sacrificing to the utmost that Russia's misery
nay be alleviated, through the great heart of the
-Snserican people. Why should funds be con6ded
to~a branch of the Russian government which
stripped its farmers of their food supplies and left
them to pitiful fate?
Contributors to the relief organizations which
Mr.. Hoover cites actuated by genuine desire
10 mitigate Russias distress. How much better,
however, that their desire find complete expression
through the American Relief Administration, our
governments official machinery set up for the pur
pose, than through some other agency which at
tempts to capitalize to its advantage the spirit
OF the American people.
The Herald cannot commend too strongly Mr..
Hoovers exposure of these socalled Russian relief
organizations

Senate "Cl0ture" of a New
Kind.

To the Editor. The Washington Herald:
A few days ago I had occasion to
visit the Capitol in company with
a friend. and desired to look in on
the Senators in action,and chose the
northwest gallery as our point of
observation tthe only part Of the
house from where the Senators may
be seen face to face), but we were
met at the door by an yover-vigilant
attendant, with the remonstrance
that we would not be permitted to
enter without card. or in tow of
guide. in other words a citizen of
the United States is not permitted
to observe the Senate from a front
view without paying for It. that, in
effect is just what II means. for
guides do not work for nothing.
Have not things come to pretty
pass, when such conditions as this

These medical hobbies run in
cycles or series. Twenty-Five years
ago the removal Of the appendix
was the favorite prescription for
all ills. Then the style changed to
removal of tonsils and ~adenoids.
The vogue at present is removal OF
teeth. The madness of tomorrow,

"pay after Gay" writes Or. Wal
ter c. Alvarez. Of San Francisco, in
the journal of the American Med
ical Association, Il see people who
have had half dozen or more
teeth extracted. Their former ply
sicians had promised them great
things; in some cases had even
guaranteed a cure, but here they
are still suffering and now greatly
discouraged. Many have no chew
ing surface left. and the remaining
teeth are often so distributed that
the only thing to do Is to remove
them and put in plates.
ITO my mind one OF the saddest
features is that, in many of these
cases, an experienced physician
might have foretold the unsatis-
factory outcome and might have
warned the orthopedist or the dCu-
tist to proceed cautiously ard con-
servatively. have secured the

in deciding which teeth were to

taken for assesses. In others, II
seemed to me that the physician.
quite oblivious of any possible
value of the teeth to the owner,
must have ordered their extraction
simply because he believed IL a
panacea for most diseases.
Il believe we have lost our heads
over this thing and that the time
has come to call q halt. Men have
obtained such bca autiful results in
some cases by extracting teeth that
some of them are now trying to ex-
plain most diseases on the basis Of
these focal Infections. In practice,
they pull the teeth first, and IL the
patient returns unbenefited they
can then look to see what is the
matter with him.
we must recognize these fail
ures: we must face them squarely
and study them with particular
care. Many people are not bene-
fited by the extraction OF teeth no
matter how thoroughly It is done.
and no good can come from further
refinements of that technic. In the
Middle Ages IL a man died IL was
because he had not been bled
