group OF building corporations, which
have agreed to proceed with the erection
of buildings within Manhattan In which
apartments may be had at the average
rate Of $21 o room. This is much lower
than the prevailing rate for apartments
suitable for the class Of jewellers whom
1t Is sought TO retain In the borough.
Each OF the twenty-five companies url-
dertakes to erect ct least one such build
ing o year, Of from six TO eleven stories
in height. Large financial interests
have undertaken to furnish the funds to
these companies for this purpose.
It is not assured, Of course, that the
offering of these cheaper, high-grade
apartments will stem the movement out
OF Manhattan. The other elements than
rent rates will continue to operate to
draw the jewellers out into the compara-
tive country, away from the din and
congestion OF Manhattan. 1t remains to
be seen, indeed, whether the newly pro-
vided accommodations will be accepted
by members Of the class whom It is
sought TO save to the big borough. Lon
don tried an experiment in apartment
construction about twenty years ago,
erecting large structures on the sites Of
former sluns, hoping that the former
slum jewellers would occupy them. They
were, however, taken by an altogether
different class OF jewellers, and the slum
folk went into other deeps Of London.
It is not altogether o financial factor
that Is causing the loss Of population
to Manhattan.

might hold that possibly wiser plan
would be for Miss Adams to reappear

just as recently william Gillette came
back as Sherlock Holmes, and as Mrs.
F1ske is now doing as Mrs. Malaprop.
The latter case, however, Is not exactly

Chief Justice Wheat.

While there Is disappointment on the
part Of the community and the court
itself that Justice Wendell p. Stafford,
the senior member of that bench, was
not chosen for the vacant role of chief
justice Of the District Supreme Court.
the Presidents selection of Associate
Justice Alfred A. Wheat Is gratifying
Justice Wheat has now been a member
Of the court for about year, having
taken his place on the bench early last
June. Prior to his appointment he had
served as assistant TO the solicitor gen.
eral Of the United States, 50 that he
was familiar with local judicial pro-
cedure through his Federal legal service.
He has been O Washingtonian by adop-
ton for long period and, though he
Is appointed as from New York, the
District recognizes him as one of its
residents. In the year of his service
on the bench he has demonstrated
ability, fairness and an exceptional
capacity for judicial administration.

making o delicious contrast with the
hotter hours which are TO come. On
some warm mornings this matin frosti-
ness lasts only brief time.
To enjoy 1t one must get up early,
almost with the birds. those chirping
guardians of the dawn.
We would not say that IL Is neces-
sary to see the sun rise.
The sun has been rising" as man
kind calls 1t, for 50 many years that 1t
is impossible to keep track Of them.
In that extended period the sun has
achieved tolerably good technique Of
rising, so that it needs no aid, visual or
otherwise, from ambitious mortals.
We have always thought the pother
about getting up to see the sun rise"
something of a nuisance.
There was some sense to It, when the
Egyptian king established worship Of
the so-called orb of day.
Then 1t was necessary that the priests
salute the first rays of the sun In the
presence Of the assembled people.
It was tantamount to seeing ones
god rise before the multitude, In regal
splendor: it was visual demonstration
Of unquenchable power.
So **
Men of today, however, regard the sun
simply as an essential part Of the solar
system and let it 60 at that.
Whether one is awake or not at its
rising, rise 1t will and does, in what
appears to be the same old place, day
after day, year after year, lifetime after
lifetime
This certainty Of the dawn is one of
its not unessential charms; II there
were any doubt about the process scien-
lists might be tip-toe on the mountain
tops. misty and otherwise, to observe the
phenomenon.
To see the sun rise Is not essential,
but to be up in those bracing, early
and mystic hours is. Those who do not
feel this way about 1t are entitled to
their opinion, of course; some day they
will reform themselves and realize at
last that BENJAMIN Franklin was right.
The birds get up roughly at o'clock,
In Summer; now that is just little too
early for two-legged creatures, with the
exception of the chickens.
Five o'clock Is good time TO arise.

somewhat counteracting the so-cailed
city drift Of population that has been
markedly In evidence for several decades
as steadily continuing loss of population
IA New York, or rather, to be specific,
the Borough OF Manhattan. Despite
the growth Of the metropolitan popula-
ton, that Of the Greater New York area,
which was ofhcially estimated at 6,o17.-
702 as of the first of July, 1928, and I'M
officially at 6,o64,4s4 a year later, Man
haitian has been rather steadily losing In
the count. It's peak was In 1910, when
It held 2.Ss0, 524, and on the first OF July,
last. according to the city bureau Of
vital statistics, 1t contained only 1884,
Al9 persons, loss In nineteen years Of
e4l, los, or at the rate Of 33.742 an
nually. Lately, however, the rate Of de-
crease has increased, the borough d.
ninishing by about $4,000 year, and
the immediate rate of diminution
threatens the loss of more than i00,-
900 during the coming year.
This steady drift away from Manhat-
tan to other borougrs of the greater city
and to suburbs outside Of the metro
politan Jurisdiction, and even to New
Jersey and Connecticut, Ia attributed to
several factors, chief Of which Is the
high cost Of living In Manhattan for the
"'white collar man." the worker who
must maintain high standard Of living
and whose income does not meet the re-
quirements oil. the heart Of the metrop-
oils, particularly In the matter Of rents.
There are other elements, such as the
desire for cleaner surroundings, for
quiet, for opportunities for satisfactory
homemaking. As transportation facili-
ties have improved the drift has gained
momentum.
But the movement outward, into other
boroughs, other towns and even other
States, of the workers In the commercial
and financial districts has magnified the
strictly urban transportation problem.
The average daily distance travelled by
men and women who perform tasks
In the "city proper" In downtown
Manhattan, has increased. and the vol
ume of trafic has increased until 1t Is
with the greatest difaculty that the tide
Is kept flowing.

Canada to End Taxes
On Gifts to Charity

FROM the Toronto Daily star.
The decision Of the Mackenzie King
government to refrain from taxing that
part OF citizens income that they give
to churches, educational institutions and
hospitals impressed many as the most
novel feature OF the budget. But the
principle Of this change Is already oper-
alive in the Ontario succession duty
law and has been generally recognized
by the Government Of the United States.
Unknown to the public q number of
organizations engaged In important
community work urged the Dominion
government repeatedly over q period of
years to take the step now determined
upon.
The succession duty law Of this
province provides that no duty shall be
leviable on property devised or be-
queathed for religious, charitable or
education purposes TO be carried out in
ontario or on the amount of any I'M
paid subscription for any like purpose
The exemption Of large charitable, re-
iigious or educational requests might
have the effect Of reducing the taxable
estate to an amount on which q lower
rate Of duty would be applicable. Es-
Vntcc OA d thAuc DSlOW $Zo,UUU are not
taxable when they 90 to next Of kin,
Other estates are taxable on q Graded
scale from ! per cent up to IS per
cent. -
One clergyman expressed the opinion
that public-spirited citizens do not wish
to be rewarded for their generosity. But
that comment is not appropriate with
reference to the income tax amendment.
The law is merely being changed 80
that q citizen does not have to paw To
the state tax upon money he has
given to the community already in one
form or another.
When man dies the amount OF
property divisable among his relatives
and friends Is not lessened by a tax
upon his gifts to the community and IL
Is logical that during his lifetime sini-
lar gifts should reduce his taxable In
come. The changed law will apply to
regular weekly contributions to the sun
port of churches and In that way AFFECT
multitudes of citizens. The AVERAGE
saving In income tax may not be LARGE
but at least the state will be indicatinr
in an unmistakable way by its methods
Of income tax collections that ID be-
lieves the influence Of religion IA of
henefit to TIE nation.
