A TIMELY SUGGESTION.

Dwight Marvin of the Troy Record and head of the New York State Association, suggests {na letter to Gov. Miller that the Port Authority should be authorized to take over const yn and management of the new tube project. It seems to be a wise and timely suggestion. New York and New Jersey have become thoroughly disgusted with the way the two State boards have $eesawed and squabbled over their work. “{ At the present moment the Republican Legisla- {ure of ew Jersey, is engaged in making over. the Tunnel Board in defiance of Gov. Edwards. What- ever the result of this partisan scheming, the new board will start with a heavy handicap of preju- dices and feuds. - Certainly the provision of under-water transport for vehicles is part and parcel of the development of the port. Why shouldn't the Port Authority do the job? As Mr. Marvin points out, the Tunnel Commis- slon does not enjoy public confidence and the Port Authority does. It is rather late in the legislative session to push such a proposal, but a way could probably be found to give the Port Authority the necessary power and appropriations for faking over the work of the discredited Tunnel Commission. ems “Strictly modern” in real estate advertise- ments means more than it has im the past Now it Includes wiring for the rad‘o telephone. WE MUST HAVE SAFE BUILDING. li his investigation of the collapse of the Ameri- can Theatre building, Magistrate McAdoo has ind testimony showing grave mismana the Brooklyn Building, Department. . “Mismanagement” is the mildest of the terms that can be applied. More testimony of the same tenor is likely to establish criminal carelessness in responsible quarters. Buildings seem to have been erected before plan. have been approved. If this bas been customary, it is pertinent to inquire what has happened to: the puildings in cases where plans were afterward dis- approved as unsafe? The possibility for graft and fonsequent danger to the public is so evident that Magistrate McAdoo will do well to follow out every {ead and disclose the real situation : 4 radical and far-reaching shake-up of this d partment in Brooklyn seems inevitable. And w this is under way, it will be helpful to have similar examinat other borougtis, In view of the building boom now gement in mm of building departments in the ql! over the city, it is essential that s have confidence in the safety « construction.

Her husband is not a citizen.

This is a special case and may be cov- ered by State law. 3ut the larger general case persists. Even though Mrs. Landau wins the right to practise law, as in Il fairness she should, she, together with many sther American-born women, would still be de- prived of the American citizenship to which she has rightful claim. Congress must remedy this by changing the naturalization law. We have yet to hear any good reason advanced why American women mar- rying alien residents should be fored to assume an alien status, at least as long as they remain resi- dent in America In many cases other than Mrs. Landau's, this has worked real hardship as well as depriving many good citizens of rights they deserve to exercise, WHERE “L” IS OBSOLETE. OOD for Transit Commissioner Gen, John F. O'Ryan, who stood out against the com- mission’s decision to continue the 14th Street-East- ern route as an elevated instead of a subway line! Said Commissioner O'Ryan: “I will not vote for the erection of any more elevated structures in this city. As a result of forty years’ experience the people have come to believe this type of structure objectionable.” That is true and sound. It challenges full weight of fact and reason from Commissioners McAneny and Harkness, who outvoted Commissioner O’Ryan on this question. Granted that from the point where the 14th Street-Eastern subway comes out of the ground ab Messerole Street, the proposed elevated continu- ation will run along the Long Island Railroad right of way and,not through a public thoroughfare; granted that to build a subway would take more time and cost more money; granted that speedy relief for the congestion at Canal Street is to be desired; May not all these considerations be outweighed ability of sticking to the principle that all elevated structures must grad- ually disappear from populated sections? The part of Brooklyn through w the pro- posed elevated line would run is a central part of the cily. In planning for its future, protection against congestion and noise is an important thing. Some day the Long Island Railroad tracks them- selves might be forced underground. Is it sighted to encumber the surface with clumsy elevated structure? These questions ought to be thoroughly weighed and answered. Chairman McAneny is notably a man of vision in all municipal matters. He is on record as favor- ing subways wherever they can eventually replace elevated lines. May he not have given too much weight in this case to the argument of time and cost—and to the refusal of the B. R. T. to share the additional expense of a subway? In open districts, as a viaduct, on its own right of way there is still use for the elevated, But not in city thoroughfares, or in populous sections. Gen, O'Ryan is absolutely right.

A modern community such as we live In depends for ita very existence from week to week upon a compli- cated system of exchanges. A rall- way strike of a few days would par- alyze the country and cause starva- tion. A village in India is absolutely opposite to this. Railways there might stop forever without disturbing in the least any of the village com~- munities, Such a state of complete isolation may be very valuable in some ways. But in India it has one very dark «ide. Indian agriculture bas long depended entirely on monsoon or seasonal rains, and occasionally these tains are insufficient or fail altogether over varying areas, Such an event is an Irremediable disaster to Isolated com- munities. There is no means of.com- ‘ating it, Famine overtakes the pop- ulation uniess there is a sufficient re~ ve of food accumulated In former years to maintain the people through the season, As a result, from time immemoriar famines have devastated India with almost monotonous regularity. Un- fortunately, they seem to be increas- ing both in frequency and severity. Since 1860 India has been smittes with approximately thirty legend which twelve were of great magwi- tude, causing a loss of life variously estimated at from 20,000,000 to 80,- 000,000. ‘The causes to which these famines are ascribed are various. Shortage of rainfall, overpopulation, waste, pov- erty. Some of these are used against the English by those in opposition to the British Government. The water supply would be sufficient if instead of taking capital out of the country they used it to conserve the wae India, it is claimed, is capable of pros ducing enough to feed twice its popu- lation if capital were expended on the land. Waste, on such occasions as marriages and funerals, is a matter of discussion. Poverty is the result of overtaxation, they say, But fheir greatest accusation is that by taking food out of the country each year the British take away that reserve which is the Indians’ only defense against the dreaded famine. Where famine relief is concerned England's most bitter enemies have to accord ungrudging praise. The Eng- lish have reduced famine relief to @ science and the only pity seems that such fine work should be employed in relieving rather than preventing mis- From Evening World Readers What kind of letter do you find most readable?

THE PRICE OF POPULARITY. It is pleasant to have your friends number legion but it is seldom profitable. lt is delightful to be hailed everywhere as a desirable companion, but it usually proves that you spend so much time being a desirable companion that you neglect your work ‘The men of wide popularity have little in life to enjoy save the popularity. And that does not last very long. If you really want to get on in the world you will be kept so busy that you will have time to make only a few in- timate friends. These few intimate friends are worth an arms quaintances who like you merely because you are spend your time entertaining them. if you spend eight hours a day at your job and three or four more hours in occupations calculated to make you more competent at your job, your opportunities for acquiring popularity will be extremely limited. tt is'a good plan to leave the entertainment of the mul- titude to actors and other people who are paid for that pur- pose, They do it better than amateurs. It is their business to capitalize popularity. The more they get the better off they are. These people are comparatively few. Unless you are one of them it will be of more profit to you te be popular with your boss, or your patients, or your clients, or your customers than with “hosts of friends,” The liking of the hosts of friends for you may be sin- cere enough, but it will have very little value. And to keep it you will have to present them with your time, which is the only thing in the world which you have as much of as anybody else. Successful men are seldom “prominent clubmen’ or brilliant figures in society. They get their success by sticking to their work, and they frequently grow very unpopular with unsuccessful people whom they pass in the race. Stick tc your job, make a few friends and forget about popularity, It is a frail reed on which to lean, at best.

A famine in the actual meaning cf the word is scarcely possible. I¢ now means drought and absence of employment and dearness of food re- sulting therefrom. This is relieved by the relief work which gives out food. This is possible now that 86,000 miles of railways connect every part of India, Then, too, 25,000,000 acres of canal-irrigated land are now avail- able for cultivation that are each year beyond the reach of drought. Having thus an assured supply of food, and means of distributing It, a famine campuign, though a great and ardu- ous labor, is reduced to a matter of tactics all arranged beforehand. Thi has been done for each province with a so-called famine code which em- bodies the regulation for relief of dis- tress in cases of scarcity. Such a campaign is a costly affair, running sometimes up to $10,000,000, and so a fund called the ‘‘famine insurance grant’ is provided tn the annual esti- mates. Yet even this relief work has its evil side, for it tends to pauperize people, making them lese their self. respect, and it has had much to with creating the countless horde of beggars that swarm over all India. Also, even though much relief is at- forded there is yet untold privation the destruction of countless WHERE DID YOU GET THAT WORD? SARDINE, f You have guessed right if you think | that the word ‘sardine’ came from the {sland called Sardinia. The fish | called a sardine first came from the | waters adjacent to Sardinia and brought the name of the island with it. Some confusion in the use of the word has arisen from the enterprise of the fishermen and canners of Eastport, Me, The young herring and othe. small fry of those waters, which querade under the name of sardine, » are scarcely entitled to the esteem of | - connoisseurs. A much nearer approach to the ex- cellent qualities of the sardine is } ichleved by the anchovy of the waters of the Northwest, in the vicinity of Puget Sound.
