JACOB WASSERMANN died January
- /, 1894, while the translators were
at work on his novel. His reputation
has thus far chiefly rested and prob
ably will permanently rest on his
novel of universal humanity, "The
Worlds Illusion" He also wrote 1.-THE
Triumph of Youth" fantastic medi-
eval tale; ''Wedlock," "Faber, or the
Lost Years." 1.-The Jews of Zirndorf,"
work, MY Life as German and jew"
"Kerkhovens Third Existence" the
translators say, is quasi-autobiograph-
ical; Kerkhoven is obviously Wasser-
mann himself. The story is typically
German. The chief characters are
Joseph KerkhoVen, q neurologiSt and
psychologist: his wife Marie, the
famous novelist Alexander Herzog and
his second wife Bettina. These four
characters are brought together In
Kerkhoven's sanatorium on the Lake
Of Constance, where the third ex-
istence" reaches fulfillment. The first

nann's work is naturalistic and in
volved and his thought is strongly
Influenced by the Freudian psychology.
THE DOCTOR IN HISTORY. BY
Howard W. Haggard. New Haven:
Yale University Press.
THE history of medicine Is grim
tale of mans ignorance and hope,
his life and death" 1t goes back to
the savage, who originated, DR.. Hag-
gard says, the principle of nearly
everything of value in medicine today,
in addition to many other things long
since discarded and still others which
should be discarded. Disease is
older than man" Dinosaurs had
broken bones, probably the result of
some gigantic struggle; saber- toothed
tigers had tOOthache, always a big
one; the bones of other prehistoric
monsters show traces Of rheumatism
and assesses. So, disease bacteria
preceded men, and men have been
obliged to fight them without ceasing
through all the historic ages. DR..
Haggard, associate professor of ap-
piled physiology in Yale University,
traces the practice of medicine and
surgery from the Cro-Magnon medi-
cine man. who treated disease by deal
ing with spirits and ghosts, to the
modern conquest of yellow fever,
diphtheria and diabetes and the dis
covery of the value of vitamins. The
practice of medicine in ancient Egypt
by the physician Imhotep, who was
also the priest, included control OF the
evil spirits of disease. Some of the
temple papyri of Egypt. recently dis
covered by Psychologists, describe va
rious diseases and their treatment
the earliest medical books. Medicine
among the Arabs, under whose pat
ronage all science hourished, through
the Middle Ages, when the black death
was the most dreaded pestilence; the
transfer of European medical know
ledge to America and its development
there are all part of the story. This
brief and popular narrative Of the
place and value of the doctor in his
tory includes glimpses at every stage
Of parallel developments in other de-
partments of human progress. The
earlier periods of medical expert
mentation seem more adequately
treated than the multifarious phases
of present-day medicine.

nv YELL, Osborne wasn't the
~ n sort to waste a chance
wv like that" Molly con-
" tinued. He'd start max
ing love to her right
away, and you can take 1t from me
that that's just about what happened.
I don't know how her husband found
out, but he evidently did.
I guess it knocked him clean of
his balance, and since then he's been
walking around half drunk and three
parts crazy. Doesn't need much to
send a man like that over the edge,
and when Nick said he was a friend
of Osborne's-" she paused.
Jerry looked at her with admira-
ton. THE girl has brains" he re-
marked. There's no doubt about it. D"
1T was Nick's idea in the first
place" protested Molly modestly.
i've only worked it out
You've worked it out jolly con-
vincingly, anyhow. Cad, I'm sorry
for that wretched woman! She must
have been leading a CHASTITY life"
I'VE must get hold Of her again
alone, somehow or other" I said.
IF she's OSborne's friend he may
have told her quite a lot about him
self I'm certain she knows some
thing or she wouldn't be so deadly
scared"
"Gowlland and that brute of a dog
are enough to scare any one" OBJ
jected Jerry. "All the same I'm en-
tirely of your opinion. Another in
terview with the lady Is distinctly in
dictated, and with the permission of
the syndicate I'd like to handle the
job myself

1T wasn't your fault, Nick Molly
put out her hand and squeezed mine
comfortingly.
I'm not blaming the lad" said
Jerry. Still the fact remains that as
far as Mrs. G.'s concerned he seems
to have torn it pretty badly. If We
want to get anything out Of her We'll
have to approach her from different
angle"
What angle?"
Bluff" returned Jerry. cts my
strong suit as a diplomatist, shall
tell her that we've found out all about
her relations with Osborne. and that
unless she's perfectly frank and an
swers our questions, we're going to
hand on the information to the po-
lice. Seems a bit brutal, but that
can't be helped"
We sat silent for a moment con-
sidering his suggestion.
1T sounds feasible" I admitted;
"the chief objection is that after what
happened yesterday I'm not overkeen
on your going up there by yourself.
If his dogs too sick for work, that
lunstic's quite capable Of taking a pot
shot at you through the hedge"

MAYOR EVADES SERVICE
OF ORDER IN POWER ROW
Huntington, Ind, Executive De-

BY the Associated Press.
HUNTINGTON, Ind, January S.
C. w. Bangs, mayor of Huntington,
enjoined by the Circuit Court from
carrying out his program Of furnish
ing electricity generated at the NUM-
cipal light plant to Huntington homes,
continued his successful evasion of at
tempts to serve the order on him.
The injunction was obtained by the
Northern Indiana Power Co.
Bangs, an attorney, has been en-
gagged in controversy with the utility
company for more than a year. Sew
eral months ago alleged non-payment
of bills led to the shutting on power
at the plant of the Huntington News,
newspaper published by Bangs. To
carry on Bangs installed an automo-
bile engine to provide power for run
ming his press. He took ONCE as
mayor last Tuesday.

it. A new generation of writer's cur
rently is using it for all that it is
worth. But to gauge the superior
quality of the original one has only to
reread it. "The Leavenworth Case"
has had hundreds of limitations, but
the book is unique-it has not been
surpassed.
Indeed. not even its creator ever
again could match all the values of her
first monumental effort. Mrs. Rohlfs
produced thirty-seven additional vol
umes, but her primary achievement was
by all odds her best. A public surfeited

itself and very significant because OF
its influence upon literature of its

Anna Katharine Green.

Mrs. Charles Rohlfs, known to
thousands of readers as Anna Kath-
arine Green. died yesterday at her
home in Buffalo. She was Lightweight
years of age and had been retired from
the active practice of her art since
1922, but the keen and eager quickness
of her mind, so notably manifest in
her books, remained her distinguishing
characteristic to the end. She was still
q "best seller" half century after
the appearance of THE Leavenworth
Case" and had been honored by such
connoisseurs of mystery stories as
Wilkie Collins, Arthur Conan Doyle,
James G. Blaine, Theodore Roosevelt
and Woodrow Wilson.
The date of her first great success was
1878 and it marked the beginning Of
a movement in the field Of fiction
which seems to be at full food at the
present moment. Other authors, OF
course, had made literary use Of crime
and there was nothing essentially new

Her contribution, rather, was that OF

control of hours and unrestricted
rights concerning revocation or tenn
porary withdrawal of permits. For
it is an important principle In the
regulation of the liquor traffic to leave
maximum of discretionary authority
in the hands Of those charged with
administration of the act. Once the
law is open to amendments which
tend to establish arbitrary rules or to
tie the hands of the local authorities
in their powers or regulation, the law
Is weakened and a difficult business
is made more difficult.
The Commissioners, with the Alco-
holic Beverage Control Board, have
sent to Congress a list of amendments
drawn in the light of experience OF
a wears trial with the Districts law
The purpose Of the amendments Is to
strengthen the law against abuses
which have either been noted or are
anticipated, and to give the board
more discretionary authority in with
drawal of licenses.
Those sincerely interested in seek
ing the most efficient method OF liquor
control in the District will work for
the passage of the Commissioners
amendments.

Urges Agitators to Meet
The President Half Way
To the Editor of The Star:

To the Editor of The Star:
From whence did we come and
whittier do we goeth? II we are going
to depend upon this Seventy-third
Congress for the answer, then maybe
1t would be best to call everything
of and 60 home, If We are lucky
enough to have q home. The great
mistake the world Is making today
at such a crisis Is that every individual,
rich or poor, high or low, Is trying to
be the leader and have things done
Just the way he or she desires, with
no consideration of whether such a
way is the correct solution TO our
economic problems.
Men like Senator Long, or even like
Father Coughlin or Gen. johnson, are
in positions where they can lift their
voices to the mike and be heard around
the world. These men are all honor
able men. But have these men lost
sight Of the fact that there are mil
lions Of others with the same trend
of mind and thought, but who still
hold true to the knowledge and de-
sire Of cooperation and q single
leadership?
The economic conditions Of today
are such that the erstwhile easygoing
individual is driven to desperation.
This same emotion is today becoming
manifest in every individual. 1t Is a
revolutionary emotion. Now are these
three great individuals going to help
coordinate the feelings and passions
Of the people or are they going to
continue tanning into flame the tiny
spark of emotions in the people that
was also famed into flame by King
George of England? But this Is not
England.
He who knows the passion Of people
and continues to play upon the harp
strings Of their soul to the eventual
destruction of that which Is fine and
noble within their faith are very in
considerate. Physically and mentally
the rich and the poor are alike. They
have a different environment and are
nourished in a different manner, but
morally they both have the same
shortcomings and faults.
The President has kept in the mid
die of the road. BY so aoing he mas
created doubts on either side. but in
the light OF an awakened reasoning
these same people are going to rally
at his side to keep America safe for
the Americans. We cannot all have
our way. even if that way were proven
to be the right way. But nothing Is
proven. A dentist does not extract
all of patients teeth the same day,
Neither should we expect to relieve
ourselves in a year of the whole OF the
chronic trouble that besets us. One
cannot 'yank" down. as 1t were. the
foundation of the whole structure Of
living as 1t was in 1888 without de-
stroying the patient. Think it over,
gentlemen, and meet our President
half way. W. H. WEAVER.

Perish the Thought of
Shifting the Capital

To the Editor of The Star:
Representative Otha D. Wearin of
Iowa certainly qualified as a candi-
date for immortal fame when ne in
troduced his sarcastic resolution in
the House recently. The. resolution
provided that property owners in the
District be paid a salary to compen-
safe them for hardships incurred as
the result Of living in the National
Capital" He wound up by saying
something about when the National
Capital is moved to the Middle West,
where 1t belongs"
All this sarcasm spilled upon our
defenseless heads because we are un-
reasonable enough to ask Congress to
see that the Government pays some
where near its Just share of the ex-
penses of running the National Capt.
tai. It Is bad enough to invite a
friend to a Dutch treat" lunch cost
ing dollar and when the waiter pre-
sents the bill throw down two bits
for your share. 1t adds insult to in
Jury to get peeved at the friend for
not liking it. Anyhow. We Washing
tonians are so darn helpless that a
resolution like Mr.. Wearin's makes us
feel like we imagine crippled shoe
lace vender would feel if Jack Dempsey
took sock at him.
Move the National Capital to the
Middle West, indeed! Now just think
about our plight in that event. De-
prived of the glorious privilege OF be-
ing right on the scene where such
brilliant resolutions see the light OF
day. Deprived of the honor of seeing
several real live Congressman every
day and yes, even on rare occasions,
of actually speaking to them. can
not, 1 will not bear the thought. in
sist that II the National Capital is to
be moved away out yonder to Gray's
Corners or Rabbit Knaw or Scratch
Gravel the residents Of Washington
be moved out there with it. sir. But
stay, another question arises: Whether
it would not be better to deny our
selves the honor of basking in the re-
fected glory of these statesmen
than to 60 out there and, without
any previous training, learn to be
champion corn huSkerS and hog
callers. There has always been type
of Solon- -on-the-H who assumed the
pose that if they had the biggest hog
wallow out in Rabbit Knaw at the
corner of Main and Green, we Wash
ingtonians should not object to hav-
ing the second biggest at Fourteenth
and F. If we did object we needn't
expect the Government to pay any
part of the expense Of drying up the
wallow BY gad, no, sir! And by the
same token if Constable Zebb Cricket
can keep order" out in Rabbit Knaw,
then two Zebb CricketS should be
able to keep order" in Mount Pleasant
and Columbia Heights.
Oh, Mr.. Wearin. unsay them cruel
words! Please. sir. don't take our
National Capital away from us. For
your own sake, think of the good old
mileage racket. I'm atellin' you that
if you do this here thing you, you air
a-goin' to be mighty sorry fer it,
and I'll tell you why: The Government
amt near as generous with National
Capitals as 1t is with corn and hog
farmers. S. M. MUMFORD.

Neutrality. Policy Urged
II War Flares Up Abroad

scribed by the San Jose (Calit) Mer-
cury-Herald. with the statement that
there can be no security in the do
mestic life of nations unless laws are
respected and enforced: neither can
there be any security in world rela-
tons unless treaty laws are respected
and observed" The Kalamazoo
tMich) Gazette suggests that I'VE
still cherish our national rights. but
We know a good deal more about the
terrific and tragic cost Of exercising
them than W" knew in the critical
years preceding 1917"
IF we should admit at the start" q"
says the Grand Rapids Press. that
naval and troop activities did impair
our freedom and If we were willing 10
endure that restriction rather than
fight costly war over the principle
of it, it is possible that We might be
Gble to avoid an ENHANCEMENT in an
other foreign conflict. The World War
should have taught us to treat war
that realistically"
1T is not unreasonable, observes
the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette. ito de-
mand enough of craftsmanship to do
whatever can be done to prevent
repetition Of such incidents as those
that turned us from neutrality to BEL
ligerency in the last war"

Pedestrians Right to
Cross on Green Light

To the Editor of The Star:
For the information of Mr.. Henry
B. Steer, who so magnanimously con-
cedes some rights to the pedestrian, I
should like to call his attention to a
recent decision of the Court of APP
peals of the District of Columbia,
the substance of which is that when
a pedestrian starts to cross the street
on a green light he is by law entitled
to continue to the other curb regard
less of whether or not the light
changes before he completes his
journey. Since the rendition of this
decision I have made 1t a point to
observe how motorists respect this
rule of law, and I can candidly assert
that an overwhelming majority Of
motorists flagrantly violate this most
reasonable and common sense rule Of
law. am quite certain that q
number Of motorists are ignorant Of
this decision-but. ignorance of law
does not excuse even the motorist.
