Death Of French Authority on
Habitual Liars.
From the Medical Record.

From the Medical Record.
The recently deceased French psy.
chiatrist. Ernest Dupre. who died at the
comparatively early age Of So, began
his medical life as an internist. writing a
monograph on hillary infections thence
he passed to neurology and ultimately to
rsychiatry. For the last. twenty years
he had been identified with the latter, in
Guiding its forensic aspect.
The subject which greatly interested
him and for which he Is largely respon-
sble in French psychiatry was the con-
ceptiop of the mythomaniac-of the ha-
bitual liar who relates tales of persecu-
ton and accuses others of crimes He
once held series OF conferences on TO-
rensc psychiatry in the Palais dc JUS
tice. going especially into criminal an
thropology and sociology Crime he pre-
sented from the viewpoint of etiology
symptoms. prophylaxis and treatment
Certain psychoses naturally tend more
to crime than others and present delicate
forensic problems. Gross crimes are not
in question here. but the more subtle
ones in which self-mutilaton, hysteria
false accusation and pathological lying
arc concerned
Mythomania as conceived by Dupre is
a pathological tendency. more or less
voluntary and conscious. toward lying
and relating fabulous experiences. This
tendency is practically normal in child
hood as a natural consequence of the
unfolding OF the psyche, and gradually
being attcnuated becomes extinct about
puberty. Hence. of course. the common
refusal to allow children to testify.
The statement that fools and children
tell the truth" is true only to a very
limited extent. Beyond the child period
mythomania is invariably seen in the
discquilibrated and corresponds to a
mental stigma of degeneration. This
activity may be inpocent but readily
lends itself to crimes when the unbal-
onced and unstable individual has vicious
tendencies.
Ordinary mythomana in which the
subject has more or less durable and
systematized inventions passes into a
higher degree known as delirium or
imagination. Dupre also upheld belief
in the existence of a special emotional
constitution.

MISS LEvEsoN IN SONGS.

Miss Helen Leveson. mezzo soprano,
gave her first song recital here last eve-
ming at Town Hall. She sang a pro-
gram of much variety. It included old
italian airs and groups Of French. Rus
sian and other numbers, with the
"Adieu Forets" from Tschaikovsky's
Jeanne dare" and Kramer's Last
Hour"
She disclosed a fine voice, Of good
range and carrying power. Her tone
production was not always quite secure
nor were all her tones steady. On the
other hand, her singing was generally
artistic. Her understanding of style and
plrasing was exceptionally good. and she
sang with taste and intelligence. Her
recital seemed to give unusual pleasure
tc her audience, and she certainly proved
herself to be a young singer of promise.

might have established penalty for
violations of the 8 per cent. law.
Chinese have been smuggled into the
United States through either Canada
or Mexico ever since the Geary act
became effective. The smugglers
brought the coolies across the Great
Lakes for 500 head and the supply
of laundrymen in this country was
regularly augmented.
The Italians, Polish Jews and other
Europeans who are legally barred
from entrance because their immi.
grafton quota is exhausted have am
bitions at least equal to those of the
Chinese. Some of them with rich
relatives in the United States are
able to pay five times as much as the
old cost of smuggling Chinese. The
operation of getting them into Amer
lea is more difficult but not more
hazardous. Once they are in any of
the Caribbean islands adjacent to
Florida the task of f'dummy run
ming" is easy. The worst the Fed
eral authorities can do to the unde-
sired alien is to send him back to the
place he came from. The worst they
can do to the smuggler is nothing
unless he has been unwise enough to
try to bring in rum as we'll as con-
traband immigrants.
The new smuggling business is an
other tribute to the attractiveness of
the United States. The Europeans
may know that business here is gen.
orally dull, that living costs are high
and that housing is still puzzle.
They are aware, OF course, that they
are not desirable under the present
circumstances. But the vision per-
sists of an America where the immi-
grant wakes rich. Hence the mad
effort to get in at the side door when
the front one is bolted.

Heifetx Plays Before Large Audi
ence In Carnegie Hall.


The violin recital of Jascha Heifetz in
Carnegie Hall yesterday afternoon was
evidently regarded by music lovers as
one Of the chief attractions Of the holi-
day. All the seats in the large audi
torium had been sold long before the
entertainment, and the boxes also were
taken. There remained only standing
room. and before the young artist ap-
peared on the stage it was officially as
serted that no more tickets for even
that could be sold.
The program was one OF artistic
worth, yet well suited to give pleasure
to such large assembly. 1t began with
Max Bruch's popular Scotch Fantasia"
after which, for the delectation Of the
classically inclined. came the famous
Bach chaconne, which Is rarely played
as Mr.. Heifetz plays it. Among the
shorter numbers were two brilliant ones
by Sarasate and the Paganini caprice

the young violinist's teacher. 1t was a
scheme well devised to exhibit the best
qualities Of Mr.. Heifetz's great art.
which has made him a magnet for
crowds wherever he goes.

The Perfect Valentine.

A valentine for Millcent
I'm seeking everywhere,
1t must be touched with shining gold
TO match her shining hair.
And wrcathed with wee forget-me-nots
Because her eyes are blue,
And twined with roses since her cheeks
Are twin pink roses too.
Her teeth are like the snow, so white
The paper lace must be
That frames the silver hearts and darts
or Cupid's heraldry
And sentiments the tcnderest
The verses must express,
For every sentence that she speaks
Is like a soft carcss
Alack alas I'm In despair.

a valentine for Milicent
Exactly as defined.
I greatly fear that such one
Cannot be bought for pclf,

The Valentine Lady.

With powdered curls and spangled IA
And gay coqucttish grace
She smiles upon a valentine
Of gilt and silvered lace
"A dainty patch accents the rose
That blooms upon her cheek.
A whittier throat or trimmer waist
'Twould be in vain to seek.
Below her hooped and gorgeous gown
or blue and gold brocade
Appear her feet in satin shoes
And buckles bright arrayed.
She's but picture on a card,
But Is so sweet and fine
/ would that she might come alive
And be my valentine.

Lebanon Cedars.

Proud by the Lebanon portal,
Loud be the winds or awed,
These are the trees immortal
Set by the hand of God.
Jovian pines sedately
Warding the Roman wall,
Saxon yew trees stately
The cedars outlast them all.
Old when Solomon builded
The temple of his desire;
Old when Hiram gilded
The ribs of the ships OF Tyre.
Old and yet ever vcrnal
Tossing their boughs abroad.
These are the trees eternal
Set by the hand Of God.

Tobacco Taxes.
The Interests OF Domestic Growers
and Those of Cigar Makers.

To THE NEW YORK HERALD: The Con-
necticut tobacco growers kick over his
inability to sell his crops is a natural
result of conditions in the cigar busi-
ness. The cigar dealers prosperity de-
termines that of the tobacco grower.
but the cigar business is not prospering.
1t is so heavily taxed that it cannot
prosper.
The cigar manufacturer in reality is
simply a bonded tax booster and collec-
tor for Uncle Sam. With his personal
ca pital and labor he produces and sells
an article taxed to the limit, and the
very management of his business is sur
rounded by minute and rigorous Federal
regulations.
The cigar and the cigarette compete
for the smokers patronage. but being
vastly cheaper sales of cigarettes are
more than seven times those of the
cigar. Notwithstanding the fact that the
mere aggregate costs of making even
the cheapest kind Of cigar are several
times larger than the actual price OF
tax paid cigarette, the internal revenue
tax on all cigarettes is SO thousand.
but on cigars from 81 to SIS. according
to the retail selling prices. Any cigar
sold at more than 8 cents pays from
six mills to one and one-half cents In
tcrnal revenue tax, whereas one tax paid
cigarette costs the smoker less than one
cent To illustrate how nicely this
works out imagine an internal revenue
tax on automobiles, this to be n specific
tax on the Ford car. but a graded one
o,,I of hr
priced cars being one and one-half times
the actual cost of tax paid Ford.
How nice this would be--for the Ford
One might think that the cigar maker
would at least be permitted TO obtain
his raw material, tobacco. without =
tax. but not so. Uncle Sam takes an
other whack at the cigar through duties
on imported tobaccos, thereby further
adding to cigar costs.
The identical tobacco growers who
now complain over the poor market for
their crops have for years been instiga-
tors of repeated duty increases on inn
ported tobaccos, hoping thereby TO en-
force consumption of domestic crops.
But domestic growers cannot raise GER
tain tobaccos which cigar makers must
use TO satisfy the smokers demands. and
therefore he imports them despite high
duties.
why do domestic growers who are
entirely dependent on the cigars pros
perity deliberately instgate and support
laws which. for instance, have fixed a
duty of s2.35 pound on Sumatra wrap
pers. Of which cigar makers use nearly

Thomas Paine's Homes.

tion of the James Monroe home at

Thomas Paine lived at the time OF his

The Housing Problem.
Rent Laws Not a Complete Remedy
for Existing Conditions.

To THE NEW YORK HERALD: At the
present time it appears that the rent
laws will be extended for another year.
When the first set of laws was enacted
and again one year later when the
amendments were passed ! pointed out
in your columns that these laws were
worse than useless My predictions have
proved correct.
If the rent laws are extended for an
other year it will simply mean that the
complete solution of the housing problem
will be delayed one year. Any man
made laws that interfere with economic
laws are bad laws.

your money; checking out your
money for personal political advan-
tage; checking out your money with
eyes fixed on the ballot box, writes a
Congress down as unfit for its job.
The disheartening thing in govern
ments is the chameleon nature of
olitician-statesmen In the cam
paign for election, with alluring
promises they beg you to take them
on in your service; installed in your
service they give you the lash of the
master. In the campaign for cleo
tion they beseech you for a job; in
stalled in that job they tell you
where you get off.
1t is the ballot box that is goad-
ing Congress on to pass the bonus
bill. Congress knows that in the large
majority you have no patience with
any measure committing the Govern
ment to further war obligations. But,
in spite of this fact, the leaders in
Congress have set their jaws to the
task of jamming through the bonus
bill, and in spite, too, of the further
fact that there is not a cent of money
in the strong box of the Government
with which to meet it.
When vote hunting in Congress
takes on this desperate phase, when
vote hunting in Congress supersedes
intelligence, faithful service, and pa
triotic craftsmanship, it is high time
for America to recognize the forces
that are shaping for new and honest
issues between political organiza-
tions.
With issues of impelling interest,
issues that embody principles, issues
that challenge convictions in the
place of the artificial issues of poll
tician-statesmen such as now divide
the two great parties, Congress will
have no need to play politics and no
need to conjure up fetiches on which
to bid for YOUR vote.
The soldier bonus, as a bid for
votes in the coming election, is the
most fragrant and the most wicked
assault on your pocketbook ever yet
made in Congress.
Do you know what this bonus
commitment would let you in for?
Let us see: It took the Government,
roughly, half century to pay it's
Civil War debt of two billion six
hundred millions of dollars. We have
now a war debt of twenty-three bill
lions of dollars. Add this soldier
bonus commitment to the present debt
and ask yourself when the Govern
ment will get the last cent paid. If
it takes one hundred years to clean
the slate, and it might take even
longer, this soldier bonus alone,
treated as part of the whole, would
amount. roughly, principal and inter-
est, to twenty billions of dollars.
This, Mr.. Citizen, is some problem.
II you can't beat the bonus in Con-
gress, you can beat the Congress at
the polls that jams it through. This
is your remedy.

now growing wrappers which cigar
makers can utilize. produce very little
salable at even half the present duty?
The domestic tobacco growers should
join the cigar maker in the fight for re-
duced taxes and their prospect OF pros
perity would then be better.

TUESDAY. FEBRUARY IA. 1929.
To the American People.

Congress is bent on five billion
dollar bonus distribution to ex-sol-
7 diers. The Government has no
money with whichsto pay the bonus.
The Secretary of the Treasury has
told Congress the Government has
no money for this purpose. The Sec
retary OF the Treasury has got to
refinance six billion five hundred
millions of dollars falling due within
the next fifteen months. The Secre-
tary of the Treasury will be COM
pelled to borrow this six billion five
hundred millions of dollars, and the
worst of it is he doesn't know where
he, can get it.
And yet, in this situation, taxed
we'll nigh to the breaking point, as
you are, with a war debt of twenty
three billions of dollars, Congress
now proposes to add five billions Of
dollars more to this debt on which
interest must be paid.
The Government is your business
office. The management consists of
the men you have selected through
your votes to run your Office, to man.
age your affairs. This business Of
yours is vast, and it requires vast
sums of money to keep it going Your
Government is already spending four
hundred millions of dollars year
in caring for and rehabiltating
wounded and disabled soldiers. Your
Government is already paying out
one billion of dollars year interest
on war debts. Altogether it is cost
ing you at the present time to run
your Government four billions of dol
lars year-four thousand millions
of dollars. This all comes out Of
YOU in taxes either direct or indirect.
The only way the Government can
get money is by chiseling it out of
you.
The duty on imported goods is
added to the selling price of the
goods you buy and so becomes a tax
on you. Internal revenues are tax
on you. The fact is that there is no
other source from which your Gov
ernment gets any money of any con-
sequence, or can get any money Of
any consequence, except from you.
IL cannot burglarize it out of other
countries. No more can it burglarize
IL out OF the planet Mars or lure it
from the skies.
The money you get comes from the
fields. the forest, the mines and from
your toll, and you give up to your
Government some part of every dollar
you get in order that you may have
Government to handle your inter
csis.
Congress does not dig down into its
own pocket for the money the Gov
ornment must have to pay its bills.
If Congress did have to dig down into
its own pocket to find the money for
the soldier bonus the soldiers would
never see a cent Nothing short of a
jimmy could get a cent out of Con.
grcss. But checking out your money
is easy: checking out your money in
billions of dollars, for something on
tho side. is a thrilling business for
Congress.
Checking out your money. however
for legitimate purposes; checking out
your money for the necessities Of the
Government; checking out your
money for the maintenance Of law
and order and for upholding Amer.
ica's position among the nations of
the world is strictly all right IL done
conscientiously and with intelligence.
But checking out your money for
