Venice's Ideal Landlord.

The ideal landlord for those who
follow Biblical and Rooseveltian
standards in the matter Of large fam
flies is a Mr.. BRoDsKY Of Venice. Cali
fornia. In his apartment house he
will have no bachelors or old maids.
Families with more than one child
will enjoy a reduction Of IS month
for each child. And for every visit
of the stork the fortunate parents
will get months rent free.
There are at least two families in
New York which boast seventeen chill
dren each. II one of these families
we're to move into a Brodsky apart
ment BaoDsKY would, under his
promise, reduce the rent $50 month,
or SIS for each of the sixteen extra
children. But IL it should happen
that the maximum rental Of an apart
ment in Mr.. BRoDsKY's house is $40 a
month, would not the genial landlord
send a check for $40 to the tenant
every month?
Perhaps that would be asking too
much of liberal patriot. Even in
Venice, we suppose, landlords have to
pay taxes.

Failing at the Last Jump.

If the Portuguese aviators had
stuck to the program, first an
nounced, Of flying from the Cape
Verde Islands to the little convict
Island of Fernando Noronha, they
probably would have made the cross
ing from Europe to South America.
AS it was, their decision to stop at
st. Paul's Rock, which sticks out of
the Atlantic Just north OF the equa-
tor and about 800 miles east of Fer
nando Noronha. was fatal to success.
The dispatches from Rio say that the
seaplane's engine was so badly dam
aged in landing at st. Paul's Rock
that Captains CoUTINHo and SAGA
pURA will be unable to proceed.
The Portuguese made brave try
for the honor of first reaching South
America from the Eastern hemi-
sphere by air. Their exploit was not
as daring as JOHN ALcocK's or HARRY
HAwKER's, but they essayed jump
of 900 miles over poorly patrolled
water when they started from Porto
Praya for st. Paul's Rock. The time
they made, an average OF sixty miles
an hour. is slow when compared with
seaplane flights liz those OF the
NC-4 and the machine in which
CLIFFORD WEBSTER raced from Palm
Beach to New York at speed Of 123
miles an hour.

Bronx is 732,016 $500, the population
Of the city OF Los Angeles is 576,673
Cs20). 1t may be seen. therefore, that
possibly be taken as comparing with
the city Of Los Angeles shows a lower
infant death rate than Los Angeles.
When one considers, however. that Los
Angeles does not have to contend with
the problems that are constantly con-
fronting Nsw York city the comparison
is even more striking. Overcrowding.
tenement house problems. congestion Of
population. influx Of alien races. marked
climatic changes and the vast economic
questions that are so common in a city
like New York are practically unknown
In a city like Los Angeles.
Under the circumstances, therefore, it
does not seem too much to accord to
New York city the honor of having the
lowest baby death rate of any of the
large cities in this country. The other
cities that might possibly be compared
with it. such as Philadelphia. Chicago
and Detroit, all show distinctly higher
infant mortality rates.
The cities of Chicago and st. Louis
have not been included In these COM
parative statistics for the reason that
their figures are not accepted by the
United States Census Bureau as COM
ing up to the standards OF the registra-
tion area for births, 20 their statistics
must be taken solely as the expression
Of their own idea OF their infant death
rates. not as officially accepted figures.

The Genoa Conference.

The Genoa Conference has justified
its existence. Its justification is a
result, not an achievement of its own
initiation. It's justification is the
awakening the world gets from the
dramatically executed Russo-German
treaty.
Not that this treaty brings joy to
the world; on the contrary it brings
concern to the world, very great con.
Germ. 1t flashes picture on the sky
that makes men think, and that
shakes them from the lethargy OF
dull prejudice or easy going indiffer-
encc.
1t brings men to a realization that
the Allies are dealing with dynamite
when dealing with 70,000,000 people
strong in the consciousness of their
abilities and strong in the knowledge
OF their resourcefulness.
It brings men to a realization OF
the extreme delicacy of the situation
and to a realization that very
human handling of the problem with
broad, wise consideration is the only
course that will make for lasting
peace and readjustcd, revitalized
Europe.
1t brings men to realization that
Germany and Russia in combination
constitute force double the size OF
all allied Europe, and that Russia
with her matchless resources, both
in men and materials, is under nc
treaty military restrictions.
Yes, the Genoa Conference has JUS
tilted its existence.

Medical Record Passes.
For Fifty Years 1t Maintained nm
Attitude OF independence.

To THE NEW York HERALD: The pass
ing Of the Medical Record deserves more
attention than q brief statement that 1t
is to be incorporated with the New York
Medical Journal.
In the first place this means the end of
independent weekly medical journalism
in this part OF the United States. IL not
throughout the country. For fifty years
and more the Medical Record occupied a
place OF independence in medical jour-
nalism. 1t means also the passing Of
the dean Of American medical journal
ism, DR.. Thomas L. Steadman, from a
place where his influence. his learning
and his true professional spirit were used
for the best interests of the public, the
profession OF medicine and the average
medical man.
This field will now be occupied cxclu-
sively by the weekly official journal of
the American Medical Association and
by the journals more or less in accord
with tho ruling powers OF the organiza-
ton. This monopolization of the organs
OF medical opinion comes at time
when the profession Is profoundly stirred
and almost evenly divided over laws
regulating the practice Of medicine as
far as the prescribing Of opium and
alcohol is concerned. The Medical
Record has always been the champion
Of therapeutic liberty.

all Corners over the home courses
this year as usual
Just to show his versatility the
son Of McGee defeated Billy Kelly
and other crack sprinters in the
$4,000 Hartford Handicap on Satur-
day last at Havre de Grace. His speed
was OF such high order on that
occasion that racing enthusiasts are
looking forward with eagerness to
the events at the metropolitan courses
and at Saratoga, in which the speedy
chestnut will meet Grey Lag, Yellow
Hand and others of the handicap and
weight for age division.
Exterminator Is bred to suit those
who maintain that our best race

hand through ne establishment OF
medical inspection stations at Con
stantinople and on the Black Sea
coast. The international Health
Commission has checked the spread
OF disease westward by way of Suez
through the quarantine stations
which it long ago established on the
Red Sea coast.
There thus remains practically but
one gateway to guard-the eastern
frontier OF Poland. To this, then, the
world is now directing its chief at
tention. That the danger is thor
oughly understood and that no at
tempt is made to minimize it is an
excellent indication that all possible
precautions will be taken and that
every preventive measure will be en-
ployed to stop disease at this bar
rier. There is every reason to be-
lieve that the famine diseases will be
confined to Russia and that western
Europe and the Western world will
escape a dread visitation. The valu-
able service which the International
Health Commission has performed
in the past is itself gratifying
guaranty OF world safety.

Tax Exempt Buildings.
The Policy Tried Here Apparently
Successful in Australia.

To THE New YoRK HERALD: Many
still doubt the ultimate economic wis
dom of exempting. partially and tenn
porariiy. new residence buildings from
taxation. though nobody questions that
that policy is responsible for the present
building activity In New York. Hence
testimony from foreign cities where
similar experiments are being tried may
be OF public interest. The following ofi-
cial figures of Sydney, New South Wales,
are copied from an Australian paper:
New buildings erected in Sydney and
suburbs in 1921 numbered s.537 and cost
&c, ,655. 1853. compared with 10.0l5 erected
IN 1890 at cost OF f9,213,650. The ex-
penditure In 1921 was record. The
figure for a slump year is remarkable.
When it is considered that Sydney,
including its suburbs, contains only be-
tween one-seventh and one-eighth Of
New York's population an annual build
ing program approximating $4,000. .0o0
indicates very great activity
The case Of Sydney is particularly in
teresting because for fve years that
city has exempted from taxation all
buildings. old and new. whether used
for business or residence purposes. From
our point of view it seems extraordinary
that such revolutionary policy has not
checked all investment and made the
city bankrupt. Apparently it has not.
but perhaps 1t can be explained on the
theory that Inhabitants Of Australia
stand on their heads.
