The City of the Future.

A corporation has been formed and
registered at Albany which plans a
series of constructions in New York
City that will be in the nature Of
a revolutionary development. This
scheme is designed to evolve an ideal
"city Of the future" One Of the fea-
lures Of this great project will, it Is
announced, be combination office and
apartment buildings. eighty or more
stories in height. The inspiration Of
this project is the realization that the
surface problem, already serious. Will
become more difficult as the years
pass, and that the practical solution
lies in combining dwellings and bust.
ness establishments. 1t is also pro.
posed, though this is for future con.
sideration, that these new home.of1ce
buildings shall be linked together by
a. network Of overhead causeways.
with landing bases for airplanes. In

Great Crops.

A large oyster crop from the Po-
tomac and other Chesapeake rivers is
predicted next season. The man who
makes the happy prediction is the
Maryland State conservation commits
sioner. One gets so many reports that
the oyster and the crab will be ex-
tinct that 1t Is encouraging to get this
oyster message. The oyster does not
play as large part In our civilization
as it did forty or fifty years ago. but
one cannot conceive that Potomac
civilization shall endure II the oyster
perish. There have been alarming, or
alarmist, reports that the crab Is pass
ing from the scene OF its triumphs.
Not much Joy would be left In life

ing should fade from our scheme Of
things. We have survived with diff

loss Of the Potomac sturgeon. but it
would be asking too much Of human
nature, at least the human nature Of
this part Of the country, to get along
without the oyster and the crab. How
would New England feel If it were
faced with the dread loss Of the clam
bake. the clam chowder and the baked
bean? Now, II some prophet will be
kind enough to predict a good, green

Right Turns.

Maj. HesSe has ordered crossing po.
licemen to enforce rigidly the right
hand-turn rule. which provides that
all turns Of this character should be
made only on the green, or go, signal.
This order will doubtless come as a
surprise to many Washington motor
lists who are unaware that such a
regulation is contained in the traffic
code.
Enforcement of this rule will make
uniform the turning right inaneuver
at all intersections. On Sixteenth
street and on Massachusetts avenue,
where the automatic signal lights
control traffic, it is necessary that
right turns be made on the green
light In order that no interference
will be caused to fast traffic. 1t is
clearly Maj. Hesse's intention to
standardize the crossing regulations
as far as possible.
= It is a moot point whether or not
the left turn can be treated in the
same way. At the present time on
the automatically controlled streets
the left-hand turn is made from the
right-hand curb with the green light.
At other intersections the left turn
is completed from the middle OF the
street on the traffic officers signal.
AS far as both Sixteenth street and
Massachusetts, avenue are concerned
1t is the only feasible way to make
the turn, as the alternative cannot
be used with success with automatic
signals. The only point in favor Of
making the same kind of a turn at
all intersections is to lessen confusion
and to promote standardization. but
it Is considered doubtful II the right
curb turn would work satisfactorily
on some of Washington's narrow
downtown streets.
At any event, 1t IS up to motorists,
from now on, to watch their step If
they would avoid trip to Traffic
Court. The rule Is simple and there
should be no difficulty in complying
with It. Right turns in all sections
of the city are to be made only on
the green signal. never when the red
signal is against the motorist. The
rule Is a good one and should be re.
spected to the end that the heavy
traffic of today can move with the
minimum of friction.

from the dramatic matter that is now
being turned out, there are many,
whether in the "dairymaid' class or
not. who think that dramatic standards
and fundamentals are all wrong. The
scenery warehouses in the large cities
are full of relics of these essays III
modernism and independence, which
have, as the stage phrase goes. blown
up after few performances.
The need for IL new protecting con
tract between authors and managers,
it now develops. was brought about
by the reaching out, as It is explained.
OF the motion picture industry to swal-
low up the theater. Movie men have
been buying up theaters. One big
film corporation, it is said. has sub
sidized five producers at $4,000 each,
guaranteeing definite sum for pic
ture rights to the producer and totally
ignoring the author. The movie men,
furthermore. it IS asserted, have de-
manded that no play should be pro-
duced unless it was good screen ma
terial, the movie scenario department
passing upon all stage productions.
Thus the spoken drama has been put
in a position, according to the spokes-
man for the Dramatists' Guild, OF q
mere feeder for the films. And that.
it is claimed, is not what the stage
Is for. Meanwhile, the public pays
the bills and is wondering whether it
is going to get any better material
when the new contract is in force and
the playwrights have established their
Independence.

OstentatiOus Learning i.
IN the New York Times.


A veteran English literary critic
was recently giving advice to young
students of literature who are on the
way to become writer's. Naturally.
he was strongest in telling them what
to avoid. He had quite q little list OF
awful examples" which he held up
before them as warning lights to their
feet. One class of authors who, he
said. distinctly ought not to be imi
tated by young aspirants is the class
that puts. so TO speak. all it's goods in
the shop window. To be more pre-
else. he described them as having =,
few favorite writers-"say Stendhal
or Proust. and they quote them So
freely as to give an air of rare and
wonderful knowledge" 1t was added
that "the best critics avoid this boast
ful kind of quotation"
Is it, however, u case Of pure val
ity? Something of the instinct of dis
play no doubt enters into it. 1t Is not
alone the desire to give a fresh turn
to conversation which leads 81 guest
to refer lightly to Croce or Keyser
ling. There is conveyed a subtle init
nation of communing with the great
est philosophic minds of the age. Nor
can one easily escape the suspicion o.
wearing his learning little too light
ly if he "drags in Velasquez" too
/, casually. or introduces a Russian or
Spaniard to give point to his epi-
grams. But there is more in it than
the peacock instinct. Out.of.the-way
information and old writer's in whom
the moderns have dug but little are
congenial to q certain order of mind
IT finds its reward In doing the lln-
usual and seeking out the exotic. So.
when men of this kind innocentlI
bring forward their recondite learn
ing, it is no more in a spirit of os-
tentation than they would exhibit In
wearing a Korean hat or an Indian
turban brought back from far jour.
