such cases one or two Stuart's Dys-

effect to offset the acid condition.
Quite often the stomach may be over

The New Modern Dancing.

Out of the conferences between Mrs.
GEORGE w. LOFT, Deputy Police Com
missioner, and the dance hall pro-
prietors who visited her at the West
Thirty-seventh street police station
to talk over the management of their
resorts there has grown the New
York Ballroom Association, which is
soon to be incorporated at Albany.
The proprietors of the various public
dancing places compose the member
ship of the new organization, and
they have assured Mrs. LOFT that
there will be no cause for complaint
about the dances they permit in the
future.
When the Deputy Police Commits
sioner had her first meeting with the
dance hall managers it would have
been difficult to regard the steps
against which she complained as cor
responding in any way to the civilized
conception of the dance. There was
certainly nothing in their names to
suggest that they served as a means
of decorous public diversion. The
words. waltz, polka and galop always
had their significance. But what sort
of dancing could parking" "balcon-
nading" or the scandal walk" be-?
Whatever their kind was, the Deputy
Police Commissioner decided that the
cause of public propriety demanded
that they stop.
There will be complete agreement
with this opinion on the part of every
citizen of New York whose horizon is
not restricted by the midnight costa
sizes of the cabaret. There will also
be regret that II was necessary to in
woke the police power to bring to an
end these indulgences before the
crowds that gaped at them nightly.
How the dancers ever consented to
supply so much diversion to the
spectators that came to watch them
Is another question to be explained
only by cabaret psychology. Cabaret
and dance hall crowds always consist
of at least so per cent. spectators.

Industrious Man.

To THE NEW YORK HERALD: Your
correspondent who advocates the aboli-
tion of certain holidays is only started

the retention of Independence Day.

devotion of one day in seven to laziness
Any one who wishes to worship can
very easily do so outside of business
hours and will, If he really wants to.
At present Sunday is purely wasted
Resting is rusting. The true rest
comes simply from a change of work,
and this is the ideal vacation. We can
best honor our country by working al
our usual tasks on Independence Day
and observing sane. dignifled ceremo-
MES after 6 o'clock
Instead of the people of New York
wasting about 4o.0OO,000 hours once a
week-eight hours each for 5000, 900
people, suggest an Interchange OF
tasks. Let bookkeepers work In the
mill. let factory hands keep the books,
and let people like T.. =. Hill exchange
tasks with, let us say, street sweepers.

Plumbers Union Methods.

The testimony before the Lock
wood committee under the question
ing of SAMUEL UNTEEMYER gives to
the public some hint of what the
plumbers union has done and is
doing to the public.
That union, thanks to the blind
selfishness of its members and the
gall and greed Of its bosses, is block
ing construction of all kinds at a
time when this country needs build
ings more than ever it needed them.
That union, with its dog in the
manger tactics, Is keeping young
men who need work out Of trade
which needs workmen. 1t has stopped
at nothing in its effort to leave the
plumbing trade constantly short of
men in order that its wage scales
and it's regulations may be imposed
upon employers.
A single phase of the situation
forced by the union is enough to
show the economic evil that is
wrought. Pipe cutting and thread
ing represents half the work of gen.
eral plumbing. This work could be
done quickly and economically with
power machinery in the shops. But
the plumbers union compels the
plumbing contractors to have all pipe
cut by hand on the job. The cutting
and threading of pipe is not skilled
work. A fairly strong boy can learn
in day to cut and thread pipe up
to the diameter Of two inches. But
the apprentices and helpers who used
to cut and thread pipe are not per-
mitted to do so now; the union for
bids. In fact, the union does not al
low apprentices. 1t allows helpers,
but only one for every two journey
men plumbers. And helper is no
longer allowed to use tools, not even
such simple devices as pipe cutters
and the stocks and dies that are en-
rloyed in threading.
The result Of these union rules is
that the helpers, who should be busy
with work they are perfectly COM
petent to do, are used only as por-
ters for the journeymen. And the
journeymen, who should be busy
with the skilled end of plumbing
spend half their time on unskilled
work and ask SO or more day.
Thus labor is wasted. Thus money
is thrown away. Thus young men
who might be learning a trade are
denied the experience they need
Thus. at time of housing shortage
construction is blocked by the lack
OF labor.

Names Ice Regulation.
Health Commissioner Kendall Ex.
plains the Reason for IT.

To THE New YORK HERALD: 1t is a
fact that We passed rules and regula-
tions concerning the common drinking
cup and common towels, and also did
include the regulation that mo cask,
water cooler or other receptacle shall be
used for storing or supplying drinking
less it is covered and protected so as
to prevent persons from dipping the
water therefrom or communicating the
same, and no ice shall be allowed to
come in direct contact with water or
other liquids to be used for drinking
purposes in such containers
This regulation Is not an acknowledg-
ment that our waters are polluted but
is regulation to protect our citizens
and visitors to our State from other
parts of the country against possible
chance OF disease through liquid re-
-freshments. We believe this Is a good
advertisement for the State. that the
state Department of Health is doing its
best to protect its citizens and visitors.
The conditions in our State are not diff
ferent from those in other States of the
Union which have large bodies of
water that are used for recreation pur-
poses during the summer months. Peo-
pie use our lakes. rivers and streams
for swimming and boating and there is
chance for polluting our waters, and we
wish to protect the people against pos
sible sickness.
Ice cut from these lakes. rivers and
streams may be pure, but in the process
Of handling the ice may become con-
taminated through the dust from the
streets or through the dirty hands of
the people who are handling the ice.
We believe that Maine has taken an
advanced step in protecting it's citizens.

Those Dismal Scientists!

Just at the time when almost
everybody is indulging in the most
delightful fancies, delusions and ex-
travagances; when half the people
are carrying home sealed packages,
when even the gloomsters are pre-
pairing for their annual grin, along
comes DR.. d. T. McDoUGAL of the
Carnegie Institution and tells us
what's what about human beings.
You think, as you see your wife
bound away on shopping expedi-
tion. There's a wonderful crea-
ture, full of spirits that must have

correlated transformations of energy
or chains of metabolism which take
place in the liquid occupying the
spaces of a colloidal meshwork."
You regard the friend who has in
vited you to that New Years Eve
party as one Of Natures noblemen.
He is not, says DR.. McDoUGAL; he is
largely composed of mucilage, soap
and fat. In fact, he is jelly. "The

Another Ocean Race.

True to the promise he made to a
correspondent of THE NEW YORK
HERALD in London on July 13 last,
the Duke OF Leinster has sailed for
New York to make preparation for
single-handed transatlantic race next
summer against WILLIAM WAsHBURN
NUTTING, each man to sail twelve
ton ketch. The original plan of the
British yachtsman was to sail from
England to the United States in his
ketch-rigged yacht. accompanied only
by a cook, but, as q result of a chal-
lenge from Mr.. NUTTING, the Duke
now proposes to have a ketch built in
this country especially for the race,
which is to be sailed next year, pre-
sumably in the summer months.
Mr.. NUTTING crossed the Atlantic
single-handed in his ketch Typhoon
in 1920, so the race will not be a
unique experience for him. Single

handed ocean sailing has been made
more of by English than by Ameri-
can yachtsmen, in books at least, for
we have Roy Roy" MAcGREGQg's S
book and McMULIEN's famous cruises,
although the greatest single-handed
sailor that ever skinned the seven
seas was undoubtedly Captain SLo.
CUM of the Spray. In the decade be-
tween 1870 and 1880 there were
several American small boats, includ-
ing a patent liferaft, that sailed over
to England, although they had more
than one man on board as rule. It
is only comparatively few years
since THOMAS FLEMING DAY crossed
the Atlantic twice in small craft,
once in his little yawl with two COM
panions and again in powerboat, a
cruise that ended at st. Petersburg.
Since the famous German En-
peror's cup race we have had no
translantic contest. and in the his
tory OF yachting there has been no
single-handed race across what sail
ors call the western ocean. The
Duke Of LEINsTER and Mr.. NUTTING,
even if each amateur skipper takes
an extra hand, will have hard work
cut out for them, and the contest
will be followed with keen interest
by those who believe that ocean rae
ing should develop real seagoing
craft and not racing machines.
