ANHATTAN EXTENSION, INC., has pre- sented to the Port Authority its plan for {filing the upper bay and adding 2 large tract to {j Manhattan, which would then extend to within a jy mile or so of Siaten Island. {This project should not be ignored in plans for }jj port and transit development. The scheme is iy, visionary, ut such a vision may come true. It may be made to come true. t The precise plan presented may never materi- jalize. It might prove wiser to extend Manhattan | tas a public work rather than as a private enterprise. | * The idea, however, is well worth careful and seriou tnvesttgation, amt the Port Authority seems best able to give it proper consideration. It might even happen that the Port Authority would decide to proshote the work as a supplementary part of its “comprehensive plan’? ‘Comparing the Port Authority plan and thie Man~ hattan Extension scheme, i{ would seem that the New Jersey-Brooklyn tunnel might run close te the lower end of Manhattan Extension. If Manhattan were to be extended, it would ath viously demand direct transit connection with Staten Island. A crossing of the Marhattan-Richmond tunnel and the New Jersey-Brooklyn tunnel might develop as a central traffic point which would har- monize many of the conflicting features of the rival Waris one an What the Port Authority think of the Man- fhattan Bxtension idea? Has ft given it thought? 1S NEWBERRY “ALL THERE”? HE Newberry case js not settled any more than was the Lorimer case after the first refusal of the Senate to unseat the briber from Illinois, Indeed it would almost seem that Newberry had given new ground for declaring the seat vacant, ‘When'he received the news of the 46 to 44 vote seating him, he interpreted it “a complete vindlca- tion and exoneration of myself and all concerned.” The amendment to the resolution which Senator Willis proposed is about as shifty and tricky a para- graph as ever emanated from the White House through the medium of backdoor politics, but no man with even an average modicum of brains could interpret it elther as vindication or exoneration, If Newberry was honest in his interpretation, he belongs in a home for the fecble-minded. He is not even up to the grade of the forty-six who voted to seat him. But we must not expect much from the kind of man who hoped to be able to fool his constituents by a movie showing him as reviewing the United States Navy from the bridge of the good ship “Recruit” in Union Square. Why not a Senatorial investigation into the men- tal competency of Newberry? It need go no further. Hiram Johnson tr back from a tour of lis- teming to the “man on the street.” This more or lees mythical individual is “wondering and wondering” whether his contribution to the G. ©, P. vietory of 1920 was not in vain. Hiram thinke he is wondering whether the United States is going into “entangling alli- ances,” Other observers have discovered the man on the street “wondering and wondering” how he ever came to fall for such barefaced foolery a8 Hiram produced in the course of the cam. palgn. COLUMBIA SHOULD BE GENEROUS. EORGE F. BAKER was “a friend in need” when he put up the money to seoure the Dyckman tract as an athletic field for Columbia University. He was ‘a friend indeed” to all New York. There is reason to hope that Columbia will not be selfish with this magnificent property. The field—or rather fields—will not be open to profes- sional athletics as such, but there is every reason to anticipate a fairly wide use of the equipment in great intercollegiate contests. Columbia will be in posi- tion to bid for the annual track meets and such events as try-outs for the Olympic Games. A big modern football stadium would probably be available for such a post-season football game as tM Army and Navy classic, which has never found an adequate setting at the Polo Grounds. If Columbia develops a generous policy in ihe use of the athletic field, the university will find it easier to raise the sums necessary for its improve- ment. An arrangement under which City College and New York University might use the stadium on days when the Columbia team is playing away fram home would eam the ‘gratitude of the alumni of those institutions. THE COST OF BURIAL. (Brom the St, Louts Post-Diepaton. | ‘There is ar element in combating the high cost of funerals that is not to be calculated In an attack on an egg trust or a shoe monopoly. This element |s touched in an appeal made by the St. Louis Presby- tery to the Church Federation for co-operation to- ward the reduction of funeral costs. “When great grief comes,” says the appeal, “no one is in a bar- gaining mood, but wants the best.” ‘The undertaker’s side is partly covered by a rep- resentative of the craft in these words: ‘The firet thing the undertaker hears when j¢ is called is “We want the best we can get.” we inform them that it depends upon what they wish to spend.

When Queen Elizabeth ascended the English throne in 1663, the at- tempt to make Anglican Protestants of the Catholic people. across the Irish Sea began in grim earnest, Her predecessor, twice removed, | Henry VIIL, had summoned a Partia- | ment in Dublin, which passed a pleve of legislation called the Act of Su- pPremacy. Under this daw the English king was declared supreme head of the Church tn Ireland. He proceeded to enforce this spirtt-, ual domination by suppressing the | Catholic religious houses tn Ireland. | He thus dispersed about four hundred religious establishments, distributed properties among his loyal subjects, and condemned the priests and monks to @ literal intepretation of the yows of poverty. Under Henry's son and successor, Edward VL, the work of proselytiza- tion by force was continued by, means of the colonization of Ireland by English settlements. The native Catholics thus displaced were arbi- trarily deprived of their possessions. Edward also laced Protestant clergymen in all the parishes of Ire- Tand and guve them the right to tax the natives ten per cent. of the pro- duce of the land for their support. Queen Elizabeth made the use of the English Protestant prayer book obligatory on all her Irish subjects, whether Protestant or Catholic, and imposed a fine of what would now amount to about $3 for each failure to attend service according to the Protestant liturgy. The English domination left noth- ing to chance. The authorities at Dublin passed laws even on matters jof speech and dress. Regulations were promulgated governing such de- tails as the cut of men’s hair and Soin and the design of women's It ts not necessary to lain wh; Queen Elizabeth is ‘here ‘Clana fled os one of the liberators of Iretand. By enforcing the laws outlawing the Catholic religion, the “Virgin Queen” made it impossible for the Irish people to be anything but Cath- olics. She made Protestantism a symbol of injustice and oppression in Ireland. By his vexatious and arbitrary tm- terference with the rights of the irish people, Elizabeth's Lord Lieu- tenant in Dublin Castle, Sir James Croft, made the Irish more keenly re than ever of their nationaiity, d set up an insurmountable obstclé to the Anglicization of Ireland. Much of the force and indomitable persistance of the Irish movement owes its beginnings to the age of persecution which developed under {Queen Elizabeth. Although no attempt is now ap- {parent to honor her memory by any act of the Dail Eireann, the “Virgin Queen” certainly deserves to be ranked high among the Liberators 0° |Ireland—tor she made it impoanible for the Irish to forget that they ware not @ free people. | Psychoanalysis You and Your Mind By ANDRE TRIDON | No. IV.—WHY DO WE SLEEP? | How can Edison get along on four | hours sleep a night? We do not sleep to rest. We sleep to escape from the monotony of life. There is not one organ of our hody which stops functioning when we are asleep. ur heart goes on beating. our blood stream keeps on coursing through arteries and veins. Our stomach keeps on digesting and our intestines assimilating food. All our glands continue to produve — their special secretions, some of them, the sweat glands, being even more uctive during sleep than during our waking hou Ni do we sleep in order to ‘tre: air” worn tissues or eliminate ‘fa igue pyoducts."* We could do that ‘just as ‘well sitting or lying down without dropping into unconscious | ness. The unconsciousness of sleep ts a means of escape from the monotony of life, Every monotonous person or thing makes us feel drowsy. We may be too polite to avoid that kind of people or that kind of thing, but our organism betrays through — stifled yawns, through our blinking eyelids, through our growing inability to find something to say, the fact that we are. bored. A dull sermon, a slow show, an absurd discussion which apparently }make no demands upon our intelli |gence or our wit, exhaust us much | more than an eloquent address, a fine | play or a vital exchange of opinions | which demand a great deal of atten | | tion or effort on our part.
