Coripelled by the limitations of the army appropriation bill, a board of gen- era] officers of the army is now in ses- sion In Washington, charged with the duty of reducing the strength of the commissioned personnel of the army to conform to what the appropriations will provide for. There are now about 14, 500 officers but the bill allows for only 12,000. Some of the present officers will be eligible for retirement on account of physical disabilities or as a reward for long service, while others will be re- duced in rank to fill vacancies. But lack of money to pay for their services leaves a remainder of about 1,700 offi- cers who must be dismissed from the service. It would not be so much of a prob- lem for the board if the army were in poor condition and dismissals were to be for the good of the gervice. But it is recognizea wow that the army is at a high state of efficiency. It has a large percentage of officers fresh from active service, trained in the various branches of warfare and devoted to the army. They are busy putting into the army the lessons learned in world warfare so that the United States forces may be well prepared for such emergencies as may arise in a troubled world. To ask such men to leave the service is a duty no one would seek. It is difficult to see how any Ameri- can who has been alive to his country's welfare during the last eight years ean look on this reduction of the army with any feeling but the keenest regret. The blame for the dismissal of competent of- floers rests on the house of representa- tives, the military policy of which has been marked throughout the session by ignorance and indifference to reasonable preparedness. There Is still some ground tor hope that the army wiil be spared the disastrous effects of this move, but that does mot lessen the guilt of the house, which put through its small army program in deflance of the president, leading military authorities, and public »injon, DUR GREATEST MINING INDUSTRY, When we think of the value of the gold, silver, copper, iron, oil and natu- ral gas that are taken out of the earth we are prepared for large figures, but how many would expect to be told that coal mining is the most important min- ing Industry in the country and that its value is nearly equal to all the other mining industries taken together. These, are the figures on coal that form a part of the 1920 census report that has just been issued. In 1919 the coal mined was worth 47.8 per cent of the total value of all mining products, while the coal mines employed 70.6 of all the coun- try's miners. Thus more than 70 out of every 100 miners in the country worked In coal mines. The total amount of coal mined In 1919 was 548,506,000 tons from 8,656 mines. The acreage of coal lands was 8,522,727. The capital inveésted in coal mining wae $2,388,318,162. Coal was produced commercially in 30 of the 48 states. The toms per capita mined in the United States has grown from .02 of one ton In 1829, the year of the earliest fig- ures recorded, to 5.01 in 1909 and to 5.24 in 1919. In this connection the report says: “In the recent periods when the quantity of coal mined has reached large proportions, the increase in coal produc- tion -was rapid and was approximately four times as large as the increase in population except in the last decade re- ported. For this decade, 1909 to 1919, it was much less, but if the maximum recorded production, that for 1918, is used in computation, the increase in coal production was three times the increase in population.” It is thls immense industry which is growing in eize, which is of tremendous impoftance to the country and which supplies a product which is a necessity to the average citizen, that is subject to Interruption and that has no machinery t4 keep it always operating, to check it from profiteering or to Insure economy in its operation. It is plain enough that this lack brought on our suffering in 1919 from the disturbance and interrup- tion of coal production and the same ele- ments are bringing on our suffering now and will continue their threat until wa can devise some means to insure no in- terruption in our coal supply. UL S s A NEW BROOKLYN BRIDGE. Forty years ago, when it was first opened, the Brooklyn bridge was hailed as one of the wonders of the world and its graceful lines were the admiration of the two cities which it united while # was pointed to as an engineering mar- vel almost without equal. Now the structure 18 said to be slipping. A least two of the immense steel cables have slipped an Inch or more on the saddies where they pass over the tall stone tow- ers. The clty engineers are worried over this evidence of change in the bridge for they fear that this slipping means the weakening and eventually the disintegra- tion of the entire structure. Danger will be avelded for the present by reducing traffic over the bridge through forbid- ding automoblles to use it, but the engi- neers are reported to be figuring already on an entirely reconstructed bridge which would cost several million dollars. There is opposition, however, to the opinion of the city engineers, for Gustav Lindenthal, who wes the city's bridge commissioner for 20 yeats and con- vructed Hell Gate. bridge, declares-that Brooklyn bridge is good for several hun- dred years yet if properly cared for. In his opinion, the roadway and the sus- pended structure could be rebuilt to meet modern requirements in trafic which has grown so enormously since the bridge was opened, 4 It is to be hoped that the original bridge can be saved to the hundreds of years of usefulness which Mr, Linden- tha! predicts, for in contrast to the other bridges that have been stretched across the East river and the Hudson river it fs the queen of them all in beauty. Art has given way to utility and safety in the new bridges that have spanned the rivers. Safety must necessarily come first, but if it becomes necessary to re- place the old Brooklyn bridgs, may we not hope to see some way found in which safety in the new may be combined with the dignity and distinction that be- longed to the old. TRA¥FIC CARDS IN NEW YORK. New York city is adopting & new reg- ulation applying to automobile drivers that will aid in the identification of of- fenders against the rules of the road. All resident drivers will be required to carry “traffic cards,” which will have on them a phootgraph of the drivey, The card will be good for five violations of traffic régu- lations, without recourse to the police court, and will have space on it for an entry by the patrolman for each minor violation of the rules. When five have been entered, the card will be taken up and a new one issued, while the old card will be used to kesp a record of the shortcomings of every driver in the city. Strange as it may appear to Connecti- cut drivers, who dare not venture on the road without both their drivers' licemse and the certificate of registration of the car, this does not seem to have been re- quired in New York, for the next leg- islature is to be asked to make the car- rying of the driver's license compulsory. as it is In practically all the adjoining a states. One step forward in road rules was taken last week when the motor vehicle departments of ten states agreed upon styles of headlights, uniform in eleva- tion and direction of rays and intensity of light. Al' New England, New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania and Mary- land are joined in the agreement, which will assure every driver that he will be free to drive in any other of the ten states if he knows he ia complying with the rules in his own state. ' The regula- tion is aimed mainly at abating the use of the glaring, dazzling and dangerous headlights. Such conformity in rules of the rcldl is much to be desired. Each state may; be a law unto itself as far as’ license fees, taxation and such matters as have no relation to use of the machine out- side the boundaries of the state. But it can be readily seen how advisable it is that there should be substantial agree- ment on some points of the rules of the road such as has been reached by the ten states from New England to Mary- land. This may yet offer 2 field for fed-{ eral regulation and be seen to fall un- der the interstate commerce clause of| the Constitution, which always seems standing ready to have new duties thrust upon it.

The “Sherlock Holmes” stories are masterpleces of detective fiction and may be looked upon as starting an interest in literature of this character. Previous to their appearance the detective story was oniy of rare occurrence, but since then writers of all character have tried to follow them, sometimes with success, but more often with failure. But the deduction so necessary in the successful detective story is mot of re- cent inception. Some years ago Brander Matthews, in a lecture on Edgar Allen Poe, said that so far as known Voltaire's story of Zadig was the original detective story. A student of Columbia Univer- sity “was present at this lecture, and he forthwith set himself to work to find how near Mr. Matthews was correct in his assumption. This student Frazer by name, found that Voltaire was not the first to adapt the story that he tells in Zagdi found the same idea in Chev: Mailly’'s Voyage et Adventures des Tro! Princess de Sarendip, which was prir ed as early as 1719, twenty-eight yea!’i! before the Voltaire n. was written. In this French story he found three princes who met 2 camel driver bewailing the loss of one of rd. - This is the way Frazer tells the story: i “They have noticed the tracks of such an animal and when asked by the driver if they knew of whereabouts, ths oldest replies: ‘Was he not blind? The‘ second, ‘Did he not have a tooth out? and the third, ‘Was he not lame? The camel driver assents with delight to the three questions and continues on his way rejoicing. “Not finding his camel, he returns and accuses the mof bantering with him, ‘To prove that what we say is true,’ said the eldest, ‘vour camel ecarried butter on one side and honey on the other. And the second, ‘and a lady rode ths camel, ete.” In this case, too, somebody turns up with the beast and an explanation is demanded, just as in the Voltaire story. One prince judged that the camel was blind because the grass on one side of the road was gnawed down, while that on the other side, which was far better, was not touched. Tt wasn't hard to de- duct that the camel had but one eve. Mouthfuls of half-chewed herbage found in the road told the second prince that the camel had one tooth missing. But even De Mailly was not the origi- nal, for it was found that this tale was directly transcribed from an otherwise unknown Italian writer. Christifore Ar- meno. His “Perigrinations,” of which but three copies are extant. was print- ed at Venice in 1557, with the Papal permit dated 1555. De Mailly said upon his titled page that the story was translated from the Persian and the same. source is credited by Armeno. The story of the lost camel is but one of several stories in the book written by the Venetian. ‘The Hebrew v on has to do with a dialogue between two Hebrew prisoners. It {s thought to he of Sanskirt deriva- tion. The investigator even found an ex- cuse for Voltaire's changing of a camel to a horse in a collection of Hebrew stor- ies which were written in 1600, In o6ne story three hrothers encountered a He- brew who has lost his horse and they tell him the color of the horse and the fact that he was blind and ‘had carried a cask of ofl and a cask of vinegar. There are other writers who claim to have found the first detective story In Chinese literature, but whatever the ori- gin the formula for reasoning has be- come pretty well established and it is only in the degree of horror. in the com- pleteness of character drawing, and in the settings. commonnlace or extraordi- nary. that the skill of the writer has an individuality.

The three most wonderful things in nature have always been to me the un- folding of a flower, the dawn of a new day, and the way in Which a child learns the use of language. There are never two of these exactly alike; they are al- ways happening, and always different. 1 have watched theee children closely and their way of learning to talk has been absolutely as individual as are the children themselves. The eldest began at nine months to say mama, da man, boy, dog and so forth, and after a while, come, g0, stay, run, and all the neces- sary verbs, and then the connecting words, in such absolute agreement with the best authorities on “learning to speak” that I began to plume myself upon it as a personal matter. It is in- teresting to note that this interest in language, in words and thel' exact meaning and acurate use, has always been a part of this child’s development. My personal vanity as a good trainer in language received a shock when the second baby came to the spesking age. Not a word would she say, “Uh-hum” doing duty for éverything; and so er was she and well developed mentally that it was almost uncanny to see how what she wanted without words. We tried encouragement, discipline and ex- ample (as her sister was then five) and when we had befun to Teel quite discon- eerted, she suddenly at about eighteen months, burst into whole sentences run together, such as “Give it to m o, don’t want to do it and others of which not one single word was clearly defined, but as a whole perfectly intelligible. As she grew older she showed the same impatients of language as a means of communication, making a language of her own to which she clung until she was six, which was intelligible only to her family and playmates, as strangers could make nothing of it, a fact which rather pleased her than otherwise—‘Me don't min' if dey tant understan’ wat me say; me ‘ikes to talk like dis,” was a frequent remark while we were trylng to train her out of it. We had at six to have recourse to expert help in proper articulation. There was no physical de- fect, and now her enunciation is unus- ually clear and she reads better than any child of téen I have ever known. Why should such things be in chil- dren of the same family, with the same training and the same environment It is an interesting préblem.
