improvements in Plumbing.
Plans to Simplify Construction and
Reduce Cost.
Neo York state Health Newi

Netc York State Health NeCs.
Just now there is a renewed interest
in the subject of plumbing. Several
States and many cities are considering
revisions of their codes. The shortage
of dwelling houses led Secretary Hoover
to appoint building code committee to
study the present legal requirements
with a view to simplifying construction
and reducing costs of small dwellings
as far as this can be done with safety.
A tentative report of this committee has
been made, but not yet published. AS
the plumbing code presented peculiar
problems a special subcommittee on
plumbing was appointed by Secretary
Hoover. Under It's direction expert
mental work has been carried on for
several months by the Bureau of Stand
ards. and as a result there should be
better understanding of plumbing re-
quirements.
1t will soon be possible to get up a
model set of regulations which can be
safely followed for buildings of given
size throughout the country, making
some necessary variations for climatic
and certain local conditions 1t is pos
sible to have simple plumbing .layouts in
dwellings of one or two stories. but
plumbing installations should be so de-
signed as to. give a reasonable factor of
safety against the escape OF drain air,
and so constructed that the inaccessible
parts of the drainage system will be as
permanent as the rest of the building.
In buildings of three or more stories
the. hydraulic and pneumatic conditions
are such as to require more elaborate
systems of piping in order to secure
reasonable protection Although the air
from sewers seldom. If ever causes spe-
cifc disease, It is insanitary and inde-
cent to allow it 70 escape into rooms
occupied by human beings. If we want
simple plumbing we must build simple
buildings.

Good Rapid Transit Routes.

The Transit Commission is making
good to the public of New York. 1t
is not merely working out reorgani-
zations of the existing traction sys-
tens; it is adopting new subway
routes which will be of enormous
benefit to the citys sufferers from
inadequate rapid transit.
Such are the new routes announced
by the Commission. /. An eXten-
sion of the Broadway Brooklyn Rapid
Transit lines from Fifty-ninth street,
Manhattan, up Central Park West,
Seventh avenue and st. Nicholas ave-
nue. to Washington Heights. 2. A
Staten Island tunnel under the Mar
rows from Fort Hamilton-to Rose
bank, Staten Island.
The Broadway extension from the
lower end of Central Park on the
West Side to the far stretches of the
upper city will offer big relief to the
present congestion. 1t will in large
measure tap the long haul traffic
which now crowds the overburdened
trunks Of Manhattan. The hundreds
Of thousands of passengers bound for
the northern districts, now compelled
to pile on top of the Manhattan pas
sengers on the Interborough trains,
can be drained off to the new through
trunk line to the advantage of them
selves and of those Manhattan pas
sengers remaining on the old trunks.
The Staten Island extension of the
Brooklyn Fourth avenue subway Will
develop Staten Island, naturally one
of the most delightful residence sec
tions of Greater New York. And
developing Staten Island, with masses
of our population drawn there from
other quarters, will tighten the pres
sure both on the housing accommoda-
tions and the transportation facilities
of Manhattan, The Bronx and other
parts of the city.
The Transit Commission is doing
fine work for New York. 1t could do
still more if it had the active and
hearty cooperation of the Board OF
Estimate, as it deserves to have and
will have when the Board of Esti-
mate awakens to its duty to the peo-
pie of this city.

for granted, for the black bass is the
gamest fighter among New York's
fresh water gladiators. But that fact
is not accepted as a valid excuse for
breaking the law.
Indeed, it is doubtless the black
bass's prowess which is responsible
Tor the large number of anglers
among the violators of the game laws.
Some men punctillous in other re-
spects see no ethical offense in dis
regarding provisions of the game
laws. When the fish is in the dip

the German Manufacturers Association
asked THE New YORK HERALD corre-
spondent: How do you expect effec
tive progress with half the working
population contaminated with the ideal
of an inevitable conflict between labor
and capital?" The obvious result Is
situation wherein no group consents to
make sacrifices to check the deprecia-
ton of the mark.
The Cabinet is now deliberating upon
further remedies. notably a domestic
loan intended to serve as the basis for
a stable gold currency. This should re-
place the demand for foreign money,
other than requirements for the i'm
portation of raw materials. II is in

refuses to release the gold. though con-
tinuing to print bank notes at the rate
of 5000. 100000 marks daily with an in

There is a growing sentiment of the

Tree Planting in New York.

The progress OF reforestation in
New York State is indicated by the
fact that the Conservation Commits
sion received in September orders for
more than 100000 trees for fall plant
ing. Most of these trees will be
set out on non-agricultural lands,
which is a circumstance of economic
Importance.
The demand for Norway spruce has
been good one of the largest single
orders coming from the Chateaugay
Pulp and Paper Company, which is
setting out 10000 of these trees. In
municipal planting the palm goes
to Carthage, in Jefferson county,
which was the first New York village
to take up reforestation. 1t now
boasts of having the finest municipal
forest of any community of its size
in the United States, 5S5,000 trees
having been planted on 1000 acres of
the local watershed.
Trees planted fifteen years ago are
now from fifteen to eighteen feet in
height and have a diameter of six
inches. 1t is estimated that million
feet of lumber will be cut annually
from this reserve when it reaches its
best development.
School districts in various parts of
the State are taking an interest in
the reforestation movement. The
pioneer among them is the town Of
Constable, Franklin county, which
began with ten acres planted in
Scotch and white pine and has in
creased the reserve. Watson, in Lewis
county, has laid out a ninety-four
acre school forest area. The planting
so far comprises $4,000 trees and the
work will be prosecuted vigorously
until the entire plot is filled. Other
communities are taking up the work
in systematic way. 1t is easy to
enlist the sympathies of the youth of
the country in tree planting. There
is pleasure in the mere act of put
ting something into the ground and
watching it grow.

Hazing the Hszers.

With the college hazing season now
en-, Mercer University, at Macon.
Georgia, has introduced an innova-
tion in the ritual of freshman initia-
tion. Hazers may still haze clandes-
timely at Mercer, but they will do so
hereafter at the risk of being them
selves hazed.
When the new freshman class en-
tered Mercer this year and was
duly hazed by the sophomores the
university's president, the Rev. DR..
WEAVER, gave the sophomores in
volved the choice between expulsion
and being subjected to the same treat
ment they had given the freshmen.
The sophomores elected to accept the
hazing alternative. Spanking was the
penalty inflicted on the freshmen.
So spanking was applied to the soph-
omores also.

friendly outlanders that we were but a
young nation, certainly not yet grown
up in wisdom, and so some uncouth-
nesses in the way of cub manners might
well be pardoned or extenuated. Do we
wish still to have that attitude taken
toward us by other nations? Are our

issues of present day Europe likely to
deal gently with us on this question be-

German statesmen have admitted to
THE NEW YORK HERALD correspondent
that the decline of the mark is beyond
their control. They place most hope Of
stemming the tide in showing the Allies
their good intent. Owing to the inability
of the Government to enforce its own
measures some sort of international
financial control seems more and more
likely.
Many influential Germans. distrustful

that the existing reparations demands
are unrealizable, regard further self

control The hopelessness of the situa-
tion is accentuated by a deadlock begin
ming in the Cabinet and extending
through industry down to the smallest
consumer.
1t isn't absolute stagnation because
everybody Is busy, but running around
the financial maelstrom. Even the Gov
ernment finds the recent penalties
against speculation ineffective. The
much heralded compulsory 1000. 600, 600

More Subway Courtesy.
Public Appreciation Of the Work OF
an Efficient Guard

To THE New YORK HERALD: One of
your correspondents writes of the cour-
tesy shown him by younger fellow
passenger in the subway who yielded
him his seat in a crowded car.
The incident recalls my own observa-
tion of the polite and intelligent service
rendered to passengers by a guard or
the Interborough Rapid Transit Com
pany. This young man opened and closed
the doors of hisscars not only with dex-
terity but with cheerfulness. He seemed
to be enjoying his none too easy work.
His exhortations to watch ones step
We're delivered in the tone of solicitous
cicerone of Nexcursionists in his special
care, and he greeted incoming passen-
gers with the smile of a pleased host
welcoming his guests. He took a valse
from an aged lady's grasp and. escort
ing her into the car where all sitting
space was apparently occupied, quietly
asked other passengers near the center
door to make room for her. which they
did with an alacrity that only such
smiling face and persuasive manner
could have educed.
Actually the car assumed almost the
atmosphere of private reception room.
with its medley of amazed travellers en-
joying the unwonted genality that one
courteous employee of the railroad had
as IL by magic impaired. And for
climax of surprises this guard, after
closing his doors, called the name of
the next station in a voice both agree
able and penetrating. and so distinctly
that almost an audible sigh of mingled
wonder and relief was breathed by all
in the car.
/ told the young man that intended
to report my own pleasure in his cour-
tesy to the operating company, and
little while after / had done this ! re-
ceived copy of the Tnterborough BuI-
letin, q publication which is distributed
free to all employees, in which / read
under the heading of one of it's pages
called Pleasing the Public" that l was

who had reported praise of this particu-
lar employees services.
1t Is clear that not only in fiction
and romance but in the mdmost hurly
burly of a great city's traffic unassum-
ing politeness and alert efficiency can
be manifested and will be appreciated.

If Not Lloyd George, Who?

AUSTEN CHAMBERLAIN, Government
leader in the House of Commons, may
not have aroused the British nation
on Friday with his Birmingham
speech. He called upon the conserva-
tive elements to stand by the Lloyd
George coalition Ministry as the only
practicable resistance against the
British Labor party with which are
United Kingdom. The English press
sees very meager response to the
Chamberlain appeal. The London
papers generally insist that if there
IS not to be a more alluring point
around which to rally than the Lloyd
George Government there must at
least be stronger rallying voice
than Mr.. CHAMBERLAIN
And LLOYD GEORGE himself in his
Manchester speech on Saturday, with
his declaration 'I'll support any
government devoting itself to meas
ures which do not inflict permanent
injury on the country" may not have
struck more fire than his Parliamen
tary leader struck the day before.
We in this country have as yet only
the British newspaper comments by
which to judge the effect Of his chal
lenge, and these are not enthusiastic.
The old popular response to the
one time convincing Lloyd George
voice may continue to be lacking.
Nevertheless there is in Great Brit
ain the very situation Mr.. CHAMBER
LAIN described, with the union labor
and all radical forces marching un-
der one banner and the need, if those
radical forces are to be held back. of
the coalition forces, perhaps best de-
scribed as liberal conservatives, mus
tering under a single banner for the
coming political battle
AS it is there are none too many
of these liberal conservatives in Brit
ain to assure a victory even though
they all concentrate around a single
ltdutl snip VI SiH6lS Idlly AllS pOlliI-
If they cannot agree on the single
banner under which to march and
wage their political fight they give
the united foe an advantage at the
outset II they go asunder, one frac-
tion hither and another fraction
thither, all the parts of the divided
opposition to the unified radicalism
must be swept to a common defeat.
Even if the Lloyd George Ministry
IS maneuvering now with its habitual
adrotness to retain its hold on the
Government the fact remains that
the liberal conservatives face this
problem of resisting the united radi-
cal forces. which are reaching boldly
for the reins of government.
In this situation the big question
IS. Who is the best man to lead the
liberal conservative forces? If DAVID
LLoYp GEORGE with his very great
ability and his long experience in
political upheavals. is not the rally
ing point for successful opposition
to the radical element, what have
the liberal conservatives got as the
alternative?
